Alexander Rodnyansky, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In 2007 we delivered on our financial guidance and made significant progress in the execution of our strategic plan. Our results were driven by the robust growth of the Russian television advertising market and the strong position of our CTC and Domashny brands, which continue to deliver the premium younger audiences preferred by advertisers. We also expanded our strategic footprint by entering two new CIS markets, added content rights management and production capabilities, and increased the reach of our existing networks."

"CTC and Domashny are both off to a solid start in the new year, and, as always, we look forward to the launch of our spring programming schedule in March. Our schedule includes hits like the new season of Daddy's Girls, as well as a significant number of series and show premieres. We expect to benefit from an increasing amount of content from our newly acquired production companies, which already produce some of our most popular series. Channel 31 in Kazakhstan and our newly established station in Uzbekistan are expected to start broadcasting in CTC format at the end of the first quarter of 2008 and beginning of the second quarter of 2008, respectively, and will provide us with a valuable presence in these developing markets. With our disciplined operating focus and strategic progress, we are well positioned to capitalize on the continued expansion of the Russian market and the CIS region in the years ahead."

Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2007

Overall results reflect the continued growth in revenues of CTC Media's two channels CTC and Domashny, and management's cost-conscious approach to programming.

CTC Network's fourth quarter 2007 audience share was 8.9% as compared with 9.0% in fourth quarter 2006. Domashny's audience share demonstrated healthy growth from 1.5% in the fourth quarter of 2006 to 2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2007.

CTC Media's total operating revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 37% to $161.7 million from $117.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The revenue growth primarily reflects the continued growth of the Russian television advertising market. Given that our advertising revenues are recorded net of commissions, our fourth quarter revenues were also favorably impacted by the lower commission rate paid by our owned-and-operated stations to Video International in connection with the variable commission rate negotiated through 2007.

Consolidated total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 amounted to $76.9 million compared to $59.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue by 3% period-on-period. In absolute terms, total operating expenses increased as higher programming costs drove increased programming amortization expense. Fourth quarter costs included $3.6 million in stock-based compensation compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

OIBDA increased 45.5% to $92.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $63.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The OIBDA margin for the quarter was 57.4%, compared to 54.1% for the corresponding quarter of 2006, reflecting sound cost management.

Net income for the quarter was $59.7 million compared to $41.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Fully diluted income per share was $0.38 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $0.26 for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2007

2007 was another strong year for CTC Media. The Company has demonstrated its ability to sustain high profit margins in an increasingly competitive media environment. This was particularly challenging when compared to 2006 which benefited from CTC's all-time hit Born Not Pretty.

In 2007, CTC Network maintained its position as the fourth-most watched broadcaster in Russia with average audience share of 9.0%, down from 10.4% in 2006. CTC Network's average audience share in its target demographic (everyone aged 6-54) was 11.3%, compared to 12.9% in 2006. Domashny's average audience share for 2007 was 2.0%, compared to 1.4% in 2006, and its average audience share in its target demographic (women aged 25-60) was 2.4%, compared to 1.7% in 2006.

CTC Media's total operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 27.3% to $472.1 million from $370.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The revenue growth primarily reflects the continued growth of the Russian television advertising market partially offset by a decline in CTC Network's audience share. Because we record our advertising revenues net of commissions, revenues were also favorably impacted by the lower commission rate paid by our owned-and-operated stations to Video International in connection with the variable commission rate negotiated through 2007.

Consolidated total operating expenses for 2007 increased by 28.8% to $279.0 million compared to $216.5 million for 2006.

Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 58.4% in 2006 to 59.1% in 2007 mainly due to a slight increase, as a percentage of operating revenues, in amortization of programming and sublicensing rights, and depreciation and amortization expense. In 2007, total operating expenses included $13.7 million of stock-based compensation expense compared to $7.2 million in 2006.

OIBDA increased 26.7% to $220.4 million for 2007 compared to $174.0 million for 2006. In 2007, OIBDA margin of 46.7% was in-line with the provided guidance and the prior year's OIBDA margin of 46.9%. The performance of the Domashny Network and owned-and-operated stations contributed to the overall increase in consolidated 2007 OIBDA. 2007 was the first full year when Domashny Network was OIBDA positive since its launch in 2005.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $135.9 million compared to $106.3 million for 2006, an increase of 27.8%. Fully diluted income per share was $0.86 for 2007 compared to $0.69 for 2006.

Guidance

For the full year ending December 31, 2008, the Company currently expects to generate consolidated total operating revenue in the range of $600 to $650 million, with a consolidated OIBDA margin in the range of 45-48%. This guidance range does not include expected revenues from its CIS operations in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

                    (See attached financial statements)                                  Attachment A                          SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES                  REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION   

OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). The Company believes that this metric is an appropriate and useful measure for evaluating the core current operating performance of its business. This metric is used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The Company also believes that it provides investors and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against historical data and the results of comparable companies.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measure of OIBDA is net income. Unlike net income, OIBDA excludes depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most significant expenditure that enables it to generate revenues and OIBDA includes the impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for capital items such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this reason, the Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant portion of its intangible assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.

OIBDA also excludes other components of net income that the Company does not consider to be indicators of its core operating performance. Accordingly, it excludes from core operating performance certain items over which it does not have substantial managerial influence and that are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary course activities. Such non-core items include foreign currency gains and losses, interest income and expense, gains on the sale of businesses, other non-operating gains and losses, equity in the income of investee companies that the Company does not control, income tax expense, and income attributable to minority interest shareholders.

Because OIBDA is not a GAAP measurement of financial performance, there are material limitations in its usefulness on a stand-alone basis, including the lack of comparability to the GAAP financial results of other companies. It should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income. The items excluded from OIBDA are significant components in assessing our overall financial performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's consolidated OIBDA to consolidated net income for the three- and twelve-month periods to December 31, 2006 and 2007:

                                 Three months ended          Year ended                                    December 31,            December 31,                                 2006         2007        2006         2007     (in thousands of US dollars)    OIBDA                         $63,744    $92,752    $173,964    $220,422   Depreciation and amortization    (exclusive of amortization    of programming rights and    sublicensing rights)          (5,404)    (7,911)    (19,651)    (27,361)   Operating income               58,340     84,841     154,313     193,061   Foreign currency gains    (losses)                           4        126       1,579         151   Interest income                 1,838      3,684       3,479      11,002   Interest expense                   (1)        (1)     (1,774)         (3)   Gains on sale of businesses       137          -         919         747   Other non-operating income    (losses), net                    (86)       320        (200)      1,168   Equity in income of    investee companies               735     (2,692)      1,896      (1,195)   Income before income tax    and minority interest         60,967     86,278     160,212     204,931   Income tax expense            (17,705)   (24,147)    (48,969)    (63,176)   Income attributable to    minority interest             (2,144)    (2,432)     (4,918)     (5,842)   Net income                    $41,118    $59,699    $106,325    $135,913    

In this press release, the Company provides guidance on the Company's consolidated OIBDA for the year ending December 31, 2008. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's projected OIBDA, based on the mid- point of the provided range, to projected operating income for the year ending December 31, 2008. To further reconcile operating income to net income, foreign currency gains (losses), interest income, interest expense, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, other non-operating gains (losses), equity in income of investee companies, income tax expense and income attributable to minority interest would need to be added and/or subtracted, as appropriate, from operating income. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of projected consolidated OIBDA to projected consolidated net income because it believes that such a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts.
