    Business Editors

    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2007--Monster Worldwide, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MNST) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 2006.

    "Our strong fourth quarter and full-year operating performance
demonstrate the power of the Monster brand and our ability to grow
market share profitably across the globe. Our outstanding financial
results reflect continued significant revenue growth and improved
profitability from our International Careers operations and solid
contributions from both Careers North America and our Internet
Advertising & Fees business," said William Pastore, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Monster Worldwide. "We have made progress
addressing the Company's historical stock option issues, and we remain
focused on serving Monster's consumers, customers, employees and
shareholders. We accomplished several significant corporate milestones
in 2006 as revenue surpassed the $1 billion mark; our International
segment achieved higher levels of profitability as the year
progressed; and the Internet Advertising & Fees segment emerged as a
diversified growth opportunity. Looking ahead, we are optimistic about
the global markets we serve and believe we are poised to build on our
industry-leading position."

    Fourth Quarter 2006 Financial Results

    Monster Worldwide revenue grew 33% overall and 29% organically to
$298.6 million in the 2006 fourth quarter from $223.8 million in the
comparable quarter of 2005.

    Monster Careers revenue increased 34% to $258.3 million, compared
to $193.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, driven by revenue
growth of 22% in North America to $168.3 million and 63% in
International to $89.9 million. Internet Advertising & Fees revenue
grew 31% to $40.4 million.

    Monster Worldwide's deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2006
was $444.1 million, representing a 36% increase from last year's
fourth quarter balance of $327.4 million.

    Income from continuing operations was $40.2 million while diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.31 in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Income from continuing operations was negatively
impacted by a previously announced charge of $5.0 million to
compensate former employees for the value of stock options that
expired during the period that the Company's equity compensation plans
were suspended. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2006, the
Company recorded $8.6 million in professional fees related to the
stock option investigations, which were approximately $2.8 million
higher than anticipated.

    At December 31, 2006, the Company's net cash position was $572.9
million compared with $548.4 million at September 30, 2006. Cash
generated from operating activities was $44.8 million compared to
$60.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Free cash flow was $27.6
million versus $33.8 million in the comparable quarter of the prior
year. Federal income tax payments, professional fees related to the
stock option investigations, and higher capital expenditures
contributed to lower free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2006.

    Full Year 2006 Results

    Monster Worldwide reported total revenue of $1.12 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $818.3 million in 2005, a 36%
increase. Monster Careers revenue grew 36% to $964.3 million compared
with $708.7 million in 2005, driven by revenue growth of 26% in North
America to $658.1 million and 64% in International to $306.3 million.
Internet Advertising & Fees reported revenue of $152.3 million, an
increase of 39% over the prior year. For the year ended December 31,
2006, Monster Worldwide reported income from continuing operations of
$153.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share compared with $90.4
million, or $0.72 per diluted share in 2005.

    Free cash flow for the year was $213.2 million compared to $173.3
million in 2005. The Company generated $268.8 million of cash from
operating activities in 2006, an increase of 21% over the $221.6
million in 2005.

    For the full year, Monster Worldwide recorded $13.3 million of
professional fees related to the investigations into the Company's
historical stock option practices, in addition to the $5.0 million
charge in the fourth quarter, to compensate former employees for the
value of stock options that expired during the period that the
Company's equity compensation plans were suspended.

    Business Outlook

    "As we look ahead to 2007, we are encouraged and anticipate
continued global growth in revenue, profitability and cash generation.
At the same time, we are committed to investing in product innovation
and technology that will enhance the Monster user experience and
support sustainable long-term growth in shareholder value," said Lanny
Baker, Monster Worldwide's Chief Financial Officer. "As the
investigations of the Company's historical stock option practices
transition from an internal review to external investigations by
government agencies of the conduct of former employees, and the
defense of shareholder lawsuits, our ability to forecast the timing
and amount of future stock option-related legal and other potential
fees and expenses is limited. As a result of the increased difficulty
in forecasting these costs with any certainty, the business outlook we
are providing for 2007 includes only selected financial statement line
items, none of which include any legal or other fees or expenses
related to the ongoing stock option investigations and related
shareholder lawsuits."

    The Operating Expenses included in the Company's outlook ranges
are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission because they do
not include legal costs and expenses that the Company will incur as a
result of its historical stock option granting practices. Because the
Company cannot reasonably estimate or predict these costs and
expenses, the Company cannot calculate the most directly comparable
GAAP measure of Operating Expenses that would include such legal costs
and expenses. Therefore, the Company cannot reconcile the non-GAAP
measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. While the amount
of the legal costs and expenses associated with the Company's
historical stock option granting practices is likely to be material,
the Company believes that such costs and expenses are of limited
significance to an evaluation of the Company's business fundamentals,
since such costs and expenses bear little relation to the Company's
core business or operating prospects.

    The preceding forward-looking statements regarding our business
outlook reflect Monster Worldwide's expectations as of February 1,
2007. These expectations do not include the effect of any future
acquisitions or dispositions, costs associated with the ongoing
investigations and litigation relating to past stock option grants
(including the likely professional fees and other costs, potential
fines or settlements, and excise or other tax liabilities), or factors
outside of our control, which may have an impact on future financial
results and are subject to the Special Note regarding forward-looking
statements elsewhere in this release.

    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, such
as operating income before depreciation and amortization, free cash
flow and net cash, provides useful information to management and
investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to
its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
Company's management uses these measures for reviewing the financial
results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes.

    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 operating income before depreciation and
amortization 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. Operating
income before depreciation and amortization 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. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R)
in 2006, free cash flow amounts in 2005 have been adjusted to exclude
the income tax benefit on stock option exercises. 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, competition, seasonality, ongoing
costs associated with the stock option investigations and the other
risks discussed in our Form 10-K/A and our other filings made with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated
in this release by reference.
