(1) Yahoo! has changed its classification of amortization expense
    related to developed technology and patents. Amortization expense
    of $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 has been
    reclassified to cost of revenues from operating expenses.

(2) Prior to January 1, 2006, Yahoo! accounted for stock compensation
    under Accounting Principles Board, Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
    Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). In accordance with APB 25,
    Yahoo! historically used the intrinsic value method to account for
    stock compensation expense. As of January 1, 2006 Yahoo! accounts
    for stock compensation expense under the fair value method. As
    Yahoo! adopted the modified prospective transition method, results
    for prior periods have not been restated under the fair value
    method for GAAP purposes. Yahoo! is presenting a non-GAAP adjusted
    net income per diluted share financial measure which includes
    stock compensation expense calculated under the fair value method
    for all periods presented. Yahoo! is also presenting a non-GAAP
    adjusted net income per diluted share financial measure which
    excludes stock compensation expense for all periods presented.



                              Yahoo! Inc.
   Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of
revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs, operating income before
depreciation and amortization, free cash flow and adjusted net income
and adjusted net income per share, which are reconciled to gross
profit, income from operations, cash flow from operating activities,
and net income and net income per share, respectively, which we
believe are the most comparable GAAP measures. We use these non-GAAP
financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly
providing our business outlook, and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are
used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an
additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed
with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to
corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These
non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as
a substitute for, or superior to, gross profit, income from
operations, cash flow from operating activities and net income and net
income per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs or TAC is defined as
gross profit plus other cost of revenues. Under GAAP, both our
revenues and cost of revenues include TAC. In defining revenues
excluding TAC as our non-GAAP gross profit measure, we have removed
TAC from both revenues and cost of revenues. TAC consists of payments
made to affiliates that have integrated our sponsored search offerings
into their websites and payments made to companies that direct
consumer and business traffic to the Yahoo! website. We present
revenues excluding TAC: (1) to provide a metric for our investors to
analyze and value our Company and (2) to provide investors one of the
primary metrics used by the Company for evaluation and decision-making
purposes. We provide revenues excluding TAC because we believe it is
useful to investors in valuing our Company. One of the ways investors
value companies is to apply a multiple to revenues. Since a
significant portion of the GAAP revenues associated with our sponsored
search offerings is paid to our third party affiliates, we believe
investors find it more meaningful to apply multiples to revenues
excluding TAC to assess our value as this avoids "double counting"
revenues that are paid to, and being reported by, our third party
affiliates. Further, management uses revenues excluding TAC for
evaluating the performance of our business, making operating
decisions, for budgeting purposes, and as a factor in determining
management compensation. A limitation of revenues excluding TAC is
that it is a measure which we have defined for internal and investor
purposes that may be unique to the Company and therefore it may not
enhance the comparability of our results to other companies in our
industry who have similar business arrangements but address the impact
of TAC differently.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization is defined as
income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible
assets and stock compensation expense. 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, amortization of intangible assets and stock
compensation expense from period to period, which we believe is useful
to management and investors in evaluating the operating performance of
the Company, as depreciation, amortization costs and stock
compensation expense 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. A further limitation
associated with this measure is that it does not include stock
compensation expense related to our workforce.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities, less
net capital expenditures and dividends received and including the
excess tax benefits from stock compensation. We consider free cash
flow to be a liquidity measure which provides useful information to
management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the
business after the acquisition of property and equipment, 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.

Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding certain gains,
losses and expenses and their related tax effects that we do not
believe are indicative of our ongoing operating results and further
adjusted for stock compensation expense under two different methods.
Effective January 1, 2006, we have adopted SFAS 123R under the
modified prospective transition method and therefore have recorded
stock compensation expense under the fair value method for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, including the
three month period ended March 31, 2005, we recorded stock
compensation expense under the intrinsic value method. We have
included two non-GAAP measures for adjusted net income and adjusted
net income per share. In one adjusted net income measure, we have
excluded stock compensation expense in addition to certain gains,
losses and expenses and their related tax effects. In the alternative
adjusted net income measure, we have included our calculation of stock
compensation expense calculated under the fair value method (as
previously disclosed) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, in
addition to excluding certain gains, losses and expenses and their
related tax effects, so that both presented periods include stock
compensation expense under the fair value method. We consider adjusted
net income to be a profitability measure which facilitates the
forecasting of our operating results for future periods and allows for
the comparison of our results to historical periods and to other
companies in our industry. A limitation of adjusted net income is that
it does not include all items that impact our net income and net
income per share for the period.
