| (1) | Includes the full-year estimated results of the November 2007 acquisition of Alliance Data Mail Services and ten months of results from the acquisition of GCom2 Solutions Inc., which was completed on February 29, 2008. | |
| (2) | 2007 and 2008 includes integration, restructuring and asset impairment charges and non-cash stock compensation expense under LTEIP. 2007 also includes the $9.2 million gain on sale of equity investment, and the $1.7 million curtailment gain on a Canadian post retirement plan. | |
| (3) | Assumes that the Convertible Subordinated Debt ($75 million) which has a put/call date of October 1, 2008, will remain in place for all of 2008, or if put by the Note Holders, will be replaced with a similar facility. | |
| (4) | Includes the benefits from the gain on sale of equity investment, the Canadian post retirement benefit plan curtailment gain, and the tax benefit associated with tax refunds and related reduction of tax liability. | |

In addition, another 2.0 million shares from the potential dilutive effect of stock options and deferred stock units is assumed.
