    Advertising & Fees revenue was $37 million compared with $40 million

    aided by a $3 million benefit from foreign exchange rates.

    Monster Worldwide´s deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2007
    grew 18% to $524 million over last year´s fourth quarter balance of
    $444 million.

    Income from continuing operations was $45 million, or $0.36 per
    diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $40 million
    or $0.31 per diluted share in the 2006 period. Included in income from
    continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 is
    a $0.05 per diluted share impact from costs associated with the
    restructuring plan, the ongoing stock option investigation and the
    security breach of the Company´s resume database in August. These pro
    forma adjustments are described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the nearest GAAP
    measure in the accompanying tables. Excluding these costs, income from
    continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $52 million,
    or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $49 million, or $0.37 per
    diluted share in the prior year.

    At December 31, 2007, the Company´s net cash position was $578
    million compared with $573 million at December 31, 2006. Cash
    generated from operating activities was $64 million compared to $45
    million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Capital expenditures totaled
    $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. During the quarter, the
    Company repurchased 2.8 million shares of its common stock for an
    aggregate cost of $97 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
    the Company repurchased 7.3 million shares of common stock for a total
    cost of $252 million.

    The Company also announced that its Board of Directors increased
    the Company´s current stock repurchase authorization by an additional
    $100 million, bringing the total authorization to $450 million. Giving
    effect to the increased authorization and repurchases to date, the
    Company currently has $253 million remaining under the program.

    Sal Iannuzzi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monster
    Worldwide, said "We are pleased with our strong fourth
    quarter operating and financial performance in the face of more
    challenging domestic conditions in the employment market. During the
    quarter, we continued the aggressive strategic investment program
    which we initiated early in the third quarter of 2007. This program
    was designed to re-energize the Monster brand and foster product
    innovation and enhanced technology. Monster´s strong 19% global
    revenue growth, combined with the savings generated from the
    restructuring plan that has funded investments, has allowed us to
    significantly expand our operating margin since implementing the
    program."

    Mr. Iannuzzi added, "We are encouraged by the early progress we
    have made in transforming Monster into a company focused on life
    improvement. We have taken significant steps to enhance our
    customers´ interaction with Monster by providing better and more
    timely solutions to meet their changing needs. Despite the
    current weaker economic environment, we are optimistic about our
    longer-term growth prospects and believe our strategic
    investments will position Monster to benefit as market conditions
    improve over time, further strengthening Monster´s industry leadership
    position. Our goal is to build a solid foundation to foster long-term
    sustainable value for our customers, shareholders and global
    associates."

    Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") has provided certain
    non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its
    operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an
    alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
    may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
    The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures
    provides useful information to management and investors regarding
    certain financial and business trends relating to its financial
    condition and results of operations.

    Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, operating margin,
    income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all
    exclude certain pro forma adjustments including: ongoing costs
    associated with the stock option investigations, related litigation
    and potential fines or settlements; severance costs for former
    executive officers incurred in the second quarter of 2007; costs
    related to the measures taken by the Company in response to a security
    breach in August 2007; and the strategic restructuring actions
    initiated in the third quarter of 2007. The Company uses these
    non-GAAP measures for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company´s
    core business operations and in certain instances, for measuring
    performance under certain of the Company´s incentive compensation
    plans. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly
    titled measures reported by other companies.

    Operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") is
    defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of
    intangible assets and amortization of stock based compensation. The
    Company considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of its
    operational strength. This measure eliminates the effects of
    depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of
    stock based compensation from period to period, which the Company
    believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its
    operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be
    comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities
    less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity
    measure and provides useful information about the Company´s ability to
    generate cash after investments in property and equipment. Free cash
    flow reflected herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable
    to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash
    flow does not reflect the total change in the Company´s cash position
    for the period and should not be considered a substitute for such a
    measure.

    Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus marketable
    securities, less total debt. The Company considers net cash to be an
    important measure of liquidity and an indicator of its ability to meet
    its ongoing obligations. The Company also uses net cash, among other
    measures, in evaluating its choices for capital deployment. Net cash
    presented herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to
    similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein,
    the statements made in this release, constitute forward-looking
    statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
    1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such
    forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties,
    including statements regarding the Company´s strategic direction,
    prospects and future results. Certain factors, including factors
    outside of our control, may cause actual results to differ materially
    from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including
    economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate,
    risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions, competition,
    ongoing costs associated with the stock option investigations and
    lawsuits, costs associated with the restructuring and security breach,
    and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings
    made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions
    are incorporated in this release by reference.

    Note Regarding ProForma Adjustments:
    The financial information included herein contains certain non-GAAP
    financial measures. This information is not intended to be used in
    place of the financial information prepared and presented in
    accordance with GAAP, nor is it intended to be considered in
    isolation. We believe that the above presentation of non-GAAP
    measures provide useful information to management and investors
    regarding certain core operating and business trends relating to
    our results of operations, exclusive of certain restructuring
    related and other special charges.

    ProForma adjustments consist of the following:
    a Costs associated with the ongoing investigation into the Company´s
    historical stock option granting practices, severance charges
    associated with the termination of certain executives in the
    second quarter of 2007 and costs associated with the remediation
    of a security breach related to the Company´s resume database in
    August 2007.

    b Restructuring related charges pertain to the strategic
    restructuring actions that the Company announced on July 30, 2007.
    These charges include costs related to the reduction in the
    Company´s workforce, fixed asset write-offs, costs relating to the
    consolidation of certain office facilities, contract termination
    costs, relocation costs and professional fees.

    c Income tax adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate of
    the period multiplied by the ProForma adjustment to income from
    continuing operations before income taxes and equity interest.

    *Diluted earnings per share may not add in certain periods due to
    rounding.
