                              Dividend Declared
                   Company Continues to Invest in Digital
    

TORONTO , Oct. 26 /CNW/ - Indigo Books & Music Inc. (TSX: IDG), Canada's largest book retailer, reported a 1% increase in revenue for its second quarter ending September 26, 2009 .

Revenue for the quarter was $207 million , up $1.7 million from the same quarter last year. The increase was attributable to the opening of four new superstores in the quarter. On a comparable store basis, Indigo and Chapters superstores were down 0.9%, while Coles and Indigo Spirit small format stores were down 2.1%. Sales from Indigo's online channel, chapters.indigo.ca, decreased 5.2% to $20 million . Last year's results included revenue from the phenomenally successful "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer .

Net earnings for the quarter were $2.2 million compared to a $3.2 million net earnings last year.

Commenting on the quarter's results, CEO Heather Reisman said, "We are satisfied with our results through what has proven to be a very turbulent time for most retailers. It is important to note that the drop in bottom line results reflects our increased operating investment in Shortcovers, our digital initiative." Shortcovers launched in late February 2009 and serves customers who want the convenience of accessing and reading their selected content, anytime, anywhere, on the mobile devices they already own (www.shortcovers.com).

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per outstanding common share to be paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2009 , with a payment date of November 30, 2009 .

During the quarter the Company opened four new superstores. Residents of Milton, Ontario and Edmonton , Alberta now enjoy an award winning booklover's haven in their market, while residents of Calgary , Alberta have two new stores to experience. The Company also opened a new superstore in Laval, Quebec just after the quarter ended.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Among the key factors that could cause such differences are: general economic, market or business conditions in Canada ; competitive actions by other companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. In order to provide additional insight into the business, the Company has also provided non-GAAP data, including comparative store sales growth, in the press release above. This measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and is therefore specific to Indigo and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Comparative store sales growth is a key indicator used by the Company to measure performance against internal targets and prior period results. This measure is commonly used by financial analysts and investors to compare Indigo to other retailers. Comparable store sales are defined as sales generated by stores that have been open for more than 12 months.
