Dr. Magid Abraham, comScores president and chief executive officer said, We began 2013 on a strong note as we continue to build our leadership position as a real-time digital business analytics company. We achieved record revenues during the quarter. Our growth was driven by robust performance in our core MMX suite of audience measurement products inclusive of our multi-platform offering, in addition to accelerated momentum in our validated Campaign Essentials (vCE) advertising analytics suite and in our Digital Analytix SAAS software. Our new customer activity was robust, as we added 62 customers and our revenue from new customers increased by 48% over the first quarter of 2012, on a pro forma basis. With strong execution, this success in the marketplace translated into a higher adjusted EBITDA margin and strong increases in adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

"As recently announced, we are particularly pleased that we entered into a strategic partnership with Procter & Gamble on eGRP, measurement for Display and Online Video campaigns, leveraging our vCE capabilities. This is an important win and is a validation of vCEs product quality and marketplace momentum as the leading campaign measurement solution."

"Looking ahead, we expect to continue executing on our growth strategy focused on audience, advertising and digital business analytics. Our strong first quarter results, along with continued improvement in margins and strong cash flow generation, position us well for the remainder of 2013 and beyond."
