AFFINION GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER

AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016

ACHIEVES RESULTS IN LINE WITH FULL YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE

STAMFORD, Conn., March 31, 2017 – Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. (“Affinion Holdings” or the “Company”), a global leader in loyalty and customer engagement, announced today the financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 (the “fourth quarter” or “quarter” and “full year,” respectively) for itself and selected financial information for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Affinion Group, Inc. (“Affinion”).

Key Highlights

“As anticipated, 2016 was a transitional year for the Company, as strong growth in our three core businesses – loyalty, customer engagement and insurance - was offset by the expected decline in our Legacy Membership and Package segment,” said Todd Siegel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, during 2016 we have successfully executed against our key initiatives, including the transition to a new global organizational structure, as well as generating significant wins and securing key renewals in Global Loyalty and Global Customer Engagement, all of which should provide for a solid foundation for the long-term success of the Company in 2017 and beyond.”

“For 2017, we anticipate meaningful earnings growth in our core businesses of Global Loyalty, Global Customer Engagement and Insurance, which we believe will be driven by double-digit growth in Global Loyalty,” continued Siegel. “Accordingly, we expect the overall business to return to growth in 2017 on a currency consistent basis.”

Notes: The Company does not provide reconciliations of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to Income from operations, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include business optimization, restructuring and stock compensation costs, foreign exchange rate changes, as well as other non-cash and unusual items and other adjustments as defined under the Company’s debt agreements, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

Results Highlights

See Table 5 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA by segment and the related reconciliations to GAAP measures.
