Yahoo! Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

Revenues - $1,818 Million

Operating Income - $121 Million

Operating Income Before Depreciation, Amortization, and Stock-Based Compensation Expense - $433 Million

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

“As outlined in our investor presentation, we believe we can significantly accelerate our revenue growth, return to our historically high margins, and double our operating cash flow by 2010. This quarter’s solid performance underscores the fact that we are executing on that plan. Yahoo! is beginning to realize the benefits of the very substantial and deliberate long-term investments we’ve made to capitalize on the opportunities ahead in display and to recapture momentum in search,” said Jerry Yang, co-founder and chief executive officer, Yahoo! Inc.

“Not only does Yahoo! have a unique franchise, it increasingly has industry-leading tools, technology and, most importantly, people. It is the hard work, dedication and professionalism of our people that is our greatest asset — and this quarter’s performance demonstrates how well they can perform under unusually challenging circumstances.”

First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

“The heart of Yahoo!'s strategy to win is the simple proposition that if we are the starting point for the most users and provide the most comprehensive, easiest-to-use, ‘must-buy’ platform for advertisers, we can drive the growth in volume and the improvement in yield we need to accelerate growth in revenues and operating cash flow. That, in turn, we believe will deliver attractive value to our stockholders,” said Sue Decker, president, Yahoo! Inc. “This past quarter’s financial results, important acquisitions, and, most importantly, the string of successful product rollouts demonstrate our enhanced execution against our longer-range goals. As we look forward, we are particularly excited by the potential capability of AMP! from Yahoo!, our revolutionary new ad management platform to help us further extend our lead in display advertising, which more than any other area of online advertising we believe has great potential for growth.”

First Quarter 2008 Segment Financial Results

Cash Flow Information

In addition to free cash flow of $647 million for the first quarter of 2008 (including a $350 million one-time payment from AT&T Inc.), Yahoo! generated $127 million from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise of employee stock options. This was offset by $79 million used for direct stock repurchases, $52 million used for tax withholdings related to net share settlements of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, and $166 million used for acquisitions. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable debt securities were $2,848 million at March 31, 2008 as compared to $2,363 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $485 million.

“Yahoo!'s first quarter 2008 financial performance was on target and aligned with our strategy to generate substantial value for stockholders,” said Blake Jorgensen, chief financial officer, Yahoo! Inc. “Our strong growth in free cash flow, excellent capital position, and ample scale give us the resources to execute our plans to grow operating cash flow substantially. Core revenue grew at an attractive, double-digit pace. The capital expenditures and substantial investments we made in people last year and early this year are now producing gains in our core, long term growth initiatives,” Jorgensen added.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Explanations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures the Company considers most comparable are included in the accompanying “Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income,” “Reconciliations to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income and GAAP Net Income Per Share to Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share.”

Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income

 
This press release and its attachments include the non-GAAP financial measures of revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs or TAC, operating income before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense, free cash flow, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share, which are reconciled to GAAP revenue, income from operations, cash flow from operating activities, 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 to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We describe limitations specific to each non-GAAP financial measure below. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures. Further, management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, 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, GAAP revenue, income from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, and net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
Revenues excluding TAC is defined as GAAP revenue less TAC. TAC consists of payments made to Affiliate sites 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 Affiliate sites, 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 Affiliate sites. Further, management uses revenues excluding TAC for evaluating the performance of our business, making operating decisions, 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. Management compensates for these limitations by also relying on the comparable GAAP financial measures of revenues, cost of revenues, and gross profit, each of which includes the impact of TAC.
 
Operating income before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense is defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense (including the compensation of Terry Semel, who served as our chief executive officer through June 18, 2007 and whose compensation after June 1, 2006 consisted almost entirely of stock-based compensation). We consider this measure to be an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company. We exclude depreciation and amortization because while tangible and intangible assets support our businesses, we do not believe the related depreciation and amortization costs are directly attributable to the operating performance of our business. This measure is used by some investors when assessing the performance of our Company. In addition, because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, and the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, we believe excluding stock-based compensation enhances the ability of management and investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation expense on our operating income. We do not include depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense in our internal measures or in the measures used by the Company to formulate our business outlook presented with our quarterly financial information to investors. A limitation associated with the non-GAAP measure of operating income before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our 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-based compensation expense related to the Company's workforce. Management compensates for these limitations by also relying on the comparable GAAP financial measure of income from operations, which includes depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense.
 
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flow from operating activities (adjusted to include excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation), less net capital expenditures and dividends received. 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. Management compensates for this limitation by also relying on the net change in cash and cash equivalents as presented in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP which incorporates all cash movements during the period.
 
Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding certain gains, losses, expenses, and their related tax effects that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating results. Previously, in reporting results for 2006 and 2007, for comparative purposes, stock-based compensation expense calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-based Payment," and its related tax effects were excluded in calculating non-GAAP net income. No such adjustment is made to non-GAAP net income numbers reported in this press release and its attachments since net income amounts reported in 2007 and 2008 in each case include stock-based compensation expense. We consider non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share to be profitability measures which facilitate the forecasting of our operating results for future periods and allow for the comparison of our results to historical periods. A limitation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share is that they do not include all items that impact our net income and net income per share for the period. Management compensates for this limitation by also relying on the comparable GAAP financial measures of net income and net income per share, both of which include the gains, losses, expenses and related tax effects that are excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share.
