9-month report

23.10.2007

Haarlem / Netherlands, October 23, 2007 - LYCOS Europe N.V.
("LYCOS"), one of the leading European portal providers and online
advertisers, today published its unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements for the first nine months of 2007.

Revenues of EUR 58.4 million generated during the first nine
months of 2007 remained stable compared to the reference period in
2006. The EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 amounted to
EUR (12.9) million (2006: EUR (3.4) million). Decreasing
advertising revenues, a margin decrease in the Shopping business,
an increase in cost of revenues and additional marketing
initiatives for LYCOS iQ are the main reasons for this development.

Cash, cash equivalents and other investments amount to EUR 159.9
million as at September 30, 2007. The cash ratio of 4.4 (cash,
cash equivalents and other investments divided by total
liabilities) shows the continuous strong financial position of LYCOS
Europe.

The ongoing product offensive and marketing initiative will result in
a similar cost level during the coming months. The increase in
revenues is not expected to cover this cost level and therefore,
the Company calculates also with an operating loss for the
fourth quarter of 2007.
