99.1 Press release dated January 14, 2004 by Yahoo! Inc.
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
This Report on Form 8-K is being filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
On January 14, 2004, Yahoo! Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Yahoo!"),
announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December
31, 2003 and certain other information. A copy of Yahoo!'s press release
announcing these financial results and certain other information is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
The press release filed as an exhibit to this report includes "safe harbor"
language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
amended, indicating that certain statements about the Company's business and
other matters contained in the press release are "forward-looking" rather than
"historic." The press release also states that a more thorough discussion of
certain factors which may affect the Company's operating results is included,
among other sections, under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002
and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003,
which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and
available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website
(http://www.sec.gov), and will also be included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the first quarter of 2004.
The press release also discloses certain financial measures, such as
revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs ("TAC"), operating income before
depreciation and amortization and free cash flow, that are considered non-GAAP
financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical
measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that
either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included
in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these financial
measures provide useful information to both management and investors by
excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our
core operating results. We believe these financial measures are useful to
investors in allowing for greater transparency to supplemental information used
by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, we
have historically reported similar financial measures to our investors and
believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our
financial reporting at this time.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures revenues
excluding TAC, operating income before depreciation and amortization and free
cash flow are helpful, when presented in conjunction with the comparable GAAP
measures of gross profit, income from operations, and cash flow from operating
activities.
Revenues excluding TAC is defined as gross profit before other cost of
revenues. We believe this performance measure is useful to management and
investors as it is more comparable to our historical profitability, as traffic
acquisition costs paid to affiliates of Overture Services, Inc., ("Overture"),
which the Company acquired on October 7, 2003, are a significant percentage of
revenues generated from Overture's sponsored search services. A limitation of
revenues excluding TAC is that other cost of revenues are excluded and therefore
does not represent the actual gross profit for the period.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization is defined as income
(loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization. We consider
operating income before depreciation and amortization to be an important
indicator of the operational strength of the Company. This measure eliminates
the effects of depreciation and amortization from period to period, which we
believe is useful to management and investors in evaluating the operating
performance of the Company as depreciation and amortization costs are not
directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business
operations. A limitation associated with this measure is that it does not
reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets
used in generating revenues in the Company's businesses. Management evaluates
the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial
measures such as capital expenditures.
In our business outlook, we define operating income before depreciation and
amortization as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization
of intangible assets and amortization of stock compensation expense. In our
business outlook, this measure now also eliminates the effect of amortization of
stock compensation expense from period to period as this expense is also not
directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business
operations. As a result, a further limitation associated with this measure is
that it does not include all expenses related to our workforce. Management
compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about
stock compensation expense on the face of our consolidated statements of
operations.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less
capital expenditures and change in long-term deferred revenue, and includes
Overture receivable settled through acquisition. Change in long-term deferred
revenue represents cash payments received in advance of revenue recognized.
Overture receivable settled through acquisition represents a Yahoo! accounts
receivable balance from Overture that was settled as part of the acquisition.
Free cash flow is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information
to management and investors about the amount of cash generated after the
acquisition of property and equipment, change in long-term deferred revenue, and
Overture receivable settled through acquisition, which can then be used for
strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company's
business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet and
repurchasing stock. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent
the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period.
In addition, management refers to these financial measures to facilitate
internal and external comparisons to the Company's historical operating results,
in making operating decisions, for budget planning purposes, and to form the
basis upon which management is compensated. These measures should be considered
in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross profit, income
from operations, cash flow from operating activities, or other measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The non-GAAP measures included in our press release have been
reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure as is required under SEC
rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2003 Financial Highlights
Cash flow from operating activities and Free cash flow: Cash flow
from operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled
$101.9 million, compared to $79.4 million for the same period of 2002.
Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $92.3 million, a
47 percent increase over the $62.7 million reported for the same
period of 2002. Free cash flow for the quarter ended December 31, 2003
included approximately $28.7 million of costs related to the
acquisition of Overture, which closed in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December
31, 2003 totaled $428.1 million, compared to $302.4 million for the
same period of 2002. Free cash flow for the year ended December 31,
2003 totaled $338.9 million, a 53 percent increase compared to the
$220.9 million reported for the same period of 2002. Free cash flow
for the year ended December 31, 2003 included approximately $43.2
million of costs primarily related to the acquisitions of Overture and
Inktomi, which closed during 2003.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable debt and
equity securities increased to $2,571.2 million at December 31, 2003,
compared to $1,537.6 million at December 31, 2002. In addition to the
free cash flow of $338.9 million generated for the year ended December
31, 2003, the company increased its cash, cash equivalents and
investments in marketable debt and equity securities balances by
$733.1 million related to issuance of convertible debt, and $353.2
million related to issuance of common stock from exercise of employee
stock options, offset by approximately $370.4 million used for
acquisitions completed in 2003, net of cash acquired.
Revenues: In the fourth quarter of 2003, Yahoo! reported revenues
of $663.9 million, a 132 percent increase from the same period in
2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, revenues were $1,625.1
million, a 71 percent increase from the $953.1 million reported in the
same period in 2002.
Marketing services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled
$545.5 million, a 178 percent increase from the $196.4 million
reported in the same period in 2002. Marketing services revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2003 totaled $1,199.7 million, an 84
percent increase from the $651.6 million reported in the same period
in 2002. These increases resulted primarily from the strong increase
in revenues from Yahoo!'s search and marketplace properties and growth
in the balance of Yahoo!'s global marketing services revenues, as well
as the incremental revenue associated with the acquisition of Overture
in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Fees revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $85.2 million,
a 37 percent increase compared to the $62.0 million reported in the
same period in 2002. Fees revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003
totaled $298.2 million, a 43 percent increase compared to the $207.9
million reported in the same period in 2002. These increases were
primarily driven by the growth in paying relationships for Yahoo!'s
premium services, including SBC Yahoo! DSL and Dial, small business
and communications suites of premium services, and Yahoo! Personals,
partially offset by a decrease in our event webcasting business.
Listings revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $33.2
million, a 21 percent increase compared to the $27.4 million reported
in the same period in 2002. Listings revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2003 totaled $127.2 million, a 36 percent increase
compared to the $93.6 million reported in the same period in 2002.
These increases were driven by the increases in our search and
marketplace services revenues as well as increased revenue from
HotJobs, which was acquired in February 2002.
Revenues excluding TAC and Gross profit: Revenues excluding TAC
for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $511.3 million, a 79 percent
increase compared to the $285.8 million in the same period of 2002.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $443.1 million,
compared to $243.5 million in the same period of 2002.
Revenues excluding TAC for the year ended December 31, 2003
totaled $1,472.5 million, a 55 percent increase compared to the $953.1
million in the same period of 2002. Gross profit for the year ended
December 31, 2003 totaled $1,267.0 million, compared to $790.2 million
in the same period of 2002.
The increases in revenues excluding TAC for both the quarter and
year ended December 31, 2003, when compared to the same periods in
2002, resulted from the combination of a strong increase in revenues
from Yahoo!'s search and marketplace properties and growth in the
balance of Yahoo!'s global revenues. In addition, revenues excluding
TAC for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 increased as a result of
the incremental revenue associated with the acquisition of Overture.
Operating income and Operating income before depreciation and
amortization: Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled
$94.4 million, compared to $55.4 million in the same period of 2002.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization for the fourth
quarter of 2003 totaled $157.5 million, an 86 percent increase
compared to the $84.6 million reported in the same period of 2002.
Operating income and operating income before depreciation and
amortization include stock compensation expense of $20.1 million for
the fourth quarter of 2003, primarily as a result of the acquisition
of Overture, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2002.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2003 totaled
$295.7 million, compared to $88.2 million in the same period of 2002.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization for the year
ended December 31, 2003 totaled $455.4 million, a 130 percent increase
compared to the $197.6 million reported in the same period of 2002.
Operating income and operating income before depreciation and
amortization include stock compensation expense of $22.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily as a result of the
acquisition of Overture, compared to $8.4 million for the same period
in 2002.
The substantial increase in operating income and operating income
before depreciation and amortization both for the quarter and year
ended December 31, 2003, when compared to the same periods in 2002,
reflects strong growth in revenues excluding TAC while maintaining
ongoing cost discipline.
Net Income: Net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $75.0
million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $46.2 million or
$0.08 per diluted share for the same period of 2002.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $237.9 million
or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with income before the cumulative
effect of accounting change of $106.9 million or $0.18 per diluted
share for the same period of 2002. Net income was $42.8 million or
$0.07 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002,
including the charge of $64.1 million for the cumulative effect of the
accounting change for the implementation of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 142 ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142, which the Company
adopted January 1, 2002, requires companies to assess the goodwill
recorded from previous acquisitions, and as necessary, record an
impairment charge that does not affect cash or the Company's
operations.

Statements of Operations" and "Business Outlook" attached to this
press release.

Yahoo! Inc.
Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures revenues
excluding traffic acquisition costs ("TAC"), operating income before
depreciation and amortization and free cash flow are helpful, when
presented in conjunction with the comparable GAAP measures of gross
profit, income from operations, and cash flow from operating
activities.
Revenues excluding TAC is defined as gross profit before other cost of
revenues. We believe this performance measure is useful to management
and investors as it is more comparable to our historical
profitability, as traffic acquisition costs paid to affiliates of
Overture Services, Inc., ("Overture"), which the Company acquired on
October 7, 2003, are a significant percentage of revenues generated
from Overture's sponsored search services. A limitation of revenues
excluding TAC is that other cost of revenues are excluded and
therefore does not represent the actual gross profit for the period.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization is defined as
income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization. We
consider operating income before depreciation and amortization to be
an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company.
This measure eliminates the effects of depreciation and amortization
from period to period, which we believe is useful to management and
investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company as
depreciation and amortization costs are not directly attributable to
the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. A
limitation associated with this measure is that it does not reflect
the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible
assets used in generating revenues in the Company's businesses.
Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets
through other financial measures such as capital expenditures.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization includes stock
compensation expense of $20.1 million and $0.7 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating
income before depreciation and amortization includes stock
compensation expense of $22.0 million and $8.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In our business outlook, we define operating income before
depreciation and amortization as income (loss) from operations before
depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of
stock compensation expense. In our business outlook, this measure now
also eliminates the effect of amortization of stock compensation
expense from period to period as this expense is also not directly
attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business
operations. As a result, a further limitation associated with this
measure is that it does not include all expenses related to our
workforce. Management compensates for this limitation by providing
supplemental information about stock compensation expense on the face
of our consolidated statements of operations.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less
capital expenditures and change in long-term deferred revenue and
includes Overture receivable settled through acquisition. Change in
long-term deferred revenue represents cash payments received in
advance of revenue recognized. Overture receivable settled through
acquisition represents a Yahoo! accounts receivable balance owed from
Overture that was settled as part of the acquisition. Free cash flow
is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information to
management and investors about the amount of cash generated after the
acquisition of property and equipment, change in long-term deferred
revenue and Overture receivable settled through acquisition, which can
then be used for strategic opportunities including, among others,
investing in the Company's business, making strategic acquisitions,
strengthening the balance sheet and repurchasing stock. A limitation
of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or
decrease in the cash balance for the period.
In addition, management refers to these financial measures to
facilitate internal and external comparisons to the Company's
historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for
budget planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management
is compensated. These measures should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross profit, income from
operations, cash flow from operating activities, or other measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
