THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 1 THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company. Yahoo! Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Yahoo!” or the “Company”), is a global technology company focused on making the world’s daily habits inspiring and entertaining. The Company provides a variety of products and services, many of them personalized, including search, content, and communication tools—all daily habits for hundreds of millions of users, on the Web and on mobile devices. The majority of the Company’s product offerings are available in more than 45 languages and in 60 countries, regions, and territories. The Company creates value for advertisers and their brands by connecting them with targeted audiences of users through their daily habits. Advertisers can build their businesses through advertising to these targeted audiences on the Company’s online properties and services (“Yahoo! Properties”), or through a distribution network of third-party entities (“Affiliates”) who integrate the Company’s advertising offerings into their Websites or other offerings (those Websites and other offerings, “Affiliate sites”). Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yahoo! Inc. and its majority-owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has included the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. To conform to the current period presentation, the Company corrected the classification of $55 million and $84 million of costs principally included in product development expenses to cost of revenue—other for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue, the useful lives of long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets, investment fair values, stock-based compensation, goodwill, income taxes, contingencies, and restructuring charges. The Company bases its estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Concentration of Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments. The primary focus of the Company’s investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. A large portion of the Company’s cash is managed by external managers within the guidelines of the Company’s investment policy. The Company’s investment policy addresses the level of credit exposure by limiting the concentration in any one corporate issuer or sector and establishing a minimum allowable credit rating. To manage the risk exposure, the Company maintains its portfolio of cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of fixed income securities, including U.S. and foreign government, agency, municipal and highly rated corporate debt obligations and money market funds. The Company’s derivative instruments expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading the risk across several major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments” for additional information related to the Company’s derivative instruments. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable balance and no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the Company’s revenue for 2010, 2011, or 2012. Revenue under the Company’s Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (the “Search Agreement”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) represented more than 10 percent of the Company’s revenue during 2011 and 2012. Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, net changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to our net investment hedges, as well as the Company’s share of its equity investees’ other comprehensive income. Foreign Currency. The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and is often the local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenue and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company records translation gains (losses) related to its foreign equity method investments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company records foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $13 million and $9 million of net gains in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and $1 million of net losses in 2012. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short- and Long-Term Marketable Debt and Equity Securities. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds, time deposits, and liquid debt instruments of the U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, U.S. municipalities, and high-credit corporate issuers which are classified as marketable debt securities and cash equivalents. All investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Investments with maturities of less than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets. Investments with maturities greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term assets. Operating cash deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company seeks to mitigate its credit risk by spreading such risk across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profiles of these counterparties. The Company’s marketable debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains or losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other income, net. The Company evaluates the investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment. A decline of fair value below amortized costs of debt securities is considered an other-than-temporary impairment if the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In those instances, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis is recognized in earnings. Regardless of the Company’s intent or requirement to sell a debt security, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis; in those instances, a credit loss equal to the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected based on credit risk and the amortized cost basis of the debt security is recognized in earnings. The Company has no current requirement or intent to sell a material portion of debt securities as of December 31, 2012. The Company expects to recover up to (or beyond) the initial cost of investment for securities held. In computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, the Company determines cost based on amounts paid, including direct costs such as commissions to acquire the security, using the specific identification method. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt and equity securities were not material. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required. Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, to mitigate certain foreign currency exposures. The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as net investment hedges, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) with the effective portion of changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any ineffective portion is recorded in other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the net investment hedges to be effective, on an after-tax basis, as described in ASC 815. Effectiveness will be assessed each quarter. Should any portion of the net investment hedge become ineffective, the ineffective portion will be reclassified to other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The fair values of the net investment hedges are determined using quoted observable inputs. Gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will not be reclassified into earnings until a sale of the Company’s underlying investment. The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as balance sheet hedges to mitigate foreign currency balance sheet exposures. These balance sheet hedges are used to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The fair values of the balance sheet hedges are determined using quoted observable inputs. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as other assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 9—“Derivative Financial Instruments” for a full description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities and related accounting. Property and Equipment. Buildings are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their expected useful lives and the remaining lease term. Computers and equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Property and equipment to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. No impairments of such assets were identified during any of the periods presented. Capitalized Software and Labor. The Company capitalized certain software and labor costs totaling approximately $110 million, $192 million, and $180 million during 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years. During 2010, 2011, and 2012, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $108 million, $114 million, and $142 million, respectively. Capitalized software and labor costs are included in property and equipment, net. Included in the capitalized amounts above are $16 million, $22 million, and $24 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The performance of the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill. The Company’s reporting units are based on geography, either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments level. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using an average of a market approach and an income approach as this combination is deemed to be the most indicative of the Company’s fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants. In addition, the fair values estimated under these two approaches are validated against each other to ensure consistency. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes publicly-traded comparable company information, specific to the regions in which the reporting units operate, to determine revenue and earnings multiples that are used to value the reporting units adjusted for an estimated control premium. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2012 and determined that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and therefore goodwill in those reporting units was not impaired. See Note 5—“Goodwill” for additional information. Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over one to eight years. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Investments in Equity Interests. Investments in the common stock of entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records its share of the results of these companies one quarter in arrears within earnings in equity interests on the consolidated statements of income. The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. Investments identified as having an indication of impairment are subject to further analysis to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary and this analysis requires estimating the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value of the investment involves considering factors such as the stock prices of public companies in which the Company has an equity investment, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and forecasted cash flows, and other company and industry specific information. Operating and Capital Leases. The Company leases office space and data centers under operating leases and certain data center equipment under a capital lease agreement with original lease periods up to 12 years. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or its estimated useful life which is generally 10 to 15 years. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. For purposes of recognizing these lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, the Company uses the date of initial possession to begin amortization. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the period of straight-line recognition. For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company expensed $5 million of interest, which approximates the cash payments made for interest. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company had net lease commitments included in capital lease and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of $41 million and $37 million, respectively. Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance against particular deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes comprises the Company’s current tax liability and change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. Income taxes paid were $232 million, $96 million, and $2.3 billion in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Interest paid was not material in any of the years presented. See Note 15—“Income Taxes” for additional information. Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generated from several offerings including the display of graphical advertisements (“display advertising”), the placement of links to advertisers’ Websites (“search advertising”), and other sources. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the consideration is allocated based on the relative selling price for each deliverable. The selling price for each arrangement deliverable can be established based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available. An estimate of selling price (“ESP”) is used if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company recognizes revenue from display advertising on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites as impressions are delivered. Impressions are delivered when a sold advertisement appears in pages viewed by users. Arrangements for these services generally have terms of up to one year and in some cases the terms may be up to three years. For display advertising on Affiliate sites, the Company pays Affiliates for the revenue generated from the display of these advertisements on the Affiliate sites. Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) are payments made to third-party entities that have integrated the Company’s advertising offerings into their Websites or other offerings and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo! Properties. The display revenue derived from these arrangements that involve traffic supplied by Affiliates is reported gross of the TAC paid to Affiliates as the Company is the primary obligor to the advertisers who are the customers of the display advertising service. From time-to-time, the Company may offer customized display advertising solutions to advertisers. These customized display advertising solutions combine the Company’s standard display advertising with customized content, customer insights, and campaign analysis. Due to the unique nature of these products, the Company may not be able to establish selling prices based on historical stand-alone sales or third-party evidence; therefore, the Company may use its best estimate to establish selling prices. The Company establishes best estimates within a range of selling prices considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, class of advertiser, size of transaction, seasonality, margin objectives, observed pricing trends, available online inventory, industry pricing strategies, and market conditions. The Company believes the use of the best estimates of selling price allows revenue recognition in a manner consistent with the underlying economics of the transaction.
The Company recognizes revenue from search advertising on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites. Search revenue is recognized based on Paid Clicks. A Paid Click occurs when a user clicks on a sponsored listing on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites for which an advertiser pays on a per click basis. The Company’s Search Agreement with Microsoft provides for Microsoft to be the exclusive algorithmic and paid search services provider on Yahoo! Properties and non-exclusive provider of such services on Affiliate sites. In transitioned markets, the Company reports as revenue the 88 percent share of revenue generated from Microsoft’s services on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites, as the Company is not the primary obligor in the arrangement with the advertisers. See Note 18—“Search Agreement with Microsoft Corporation” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. In non-transitioned markets, the Company pays Affiliates TAC for the revenue generated from the search advertisements on the Affiliates’ Websites. The revenue derived from these arrangements is reported on a gross basis including TAC paid to Affiliates, as the Company continues to be the primary obligor to the advertisers. The Company also generates search revenue from a revenue sharing arrangement with Yahoo Japan for search technology and services and records the related revenue as it is earned. Other revenue includes listings-based services revenue, transaction revenue, royalties, and fees revenue. Listings-based services revenue is generated from a variety of consumer and business listings-based services, including classified advertising such as Yahoo! Autos and other services. The Company recognizes listings-based services revenue when the services are performed. Transaction revenue is generated from facilitating commercial transactions through Yahoo! Properties, principally from Yahoo! Small Business, Yahoo! Travel, and Yahoo! Shopping. The Company recognizes transaction revenue when there is evidence that qualifying transactions have occurred. We also receive royalties from joint venture partners that are recognized when earned. Fees revenue consists of revenue generated from a variety of consumer and business fee-based services as well as services for small businesses. The Company recognizes fees revenue when the services are performed. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the related fee is reasonably assured. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include a provision for cancellation, termination, or refunds that would significantly impact revenue recognition. The Company accounts for cash consideration given to customers, for which it does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense. Cash consideration received in an arrangement with a provider may require consideration of classification of amounts received as revenue or a reimbursement of costs incurred. Current deferred revenue is comprised of contractual billings in excess of recognized revenue and payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Long-term deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers for which services will not be delivered within the next 12 months. TAC. TAC consists of payments made to third-party entities that have integrated the Company’s advertising offerings into their Websites or other offerings and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo! Properties. The Company enters into agreements of varying duration that involve TAC. There are generally two economic structures of the Affiliate agreements: fixed payments based on a guaranteed minimum amount of traffic delivered, which often carry reciprocal performance guarantees from the Affiliate; or variable payments based on a percentage of the Company’s revenue or based on a certain metric, such as the number of searches or paid clicks. The Company expenses, as cost of revenue, TAC under two different methods. Agreements with fixed payments are expensed ratably over the term the fixed payment covers. Agreements based on a percentage of revenue, number of searches, or other metrics are expensed based on the volume of the underlying activity or revenue multiplied by the agreed-upon price or rate. Product Development. Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation related expenses (including stock-based compensation expense) incurred for research and development, the development of, enhancements to, and maintenance and operation of Yahoo! Properties, advertising products, technology platforms, and infrastructure. Depreciation expense, third-party technology and development expense, and other operating costs are also included in product development. Advertising Costs. Advertising production costs are recorded as expense the first time an advertisement appears. Costs of advertising are recorded as expense as advertising space or airtime is used. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $237 million, $148 million, and $103 million for 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Restructuring Charges. The Company has developed and implemented restructuring initiatives to improve efficiencies across the organization, reduce operating expenses, and better align its resources to market conditions. As a result of these plans, the Company has recorded restructuring charges comprised principally of employee severance and associated termination costs related to the reduction of its workforce, office closures, losses on subleases, and contract termination costs. Liabilities for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when management commits to an exit plan. In addition, (i) liabilities associated with exit and disposal activities are measured at fair value; (ii) one-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period; and (iii) costs to terminate a contract before the end of its term are recognized when the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms. In addition, a portion of the Company’s restructuring costs related to international employees whose termination benefits are recognized when the amount of such termination benefits becomes estimable and payment is probable. These restructuring initiatives require management to make estimates in several areas including: (i) expenses for severance and other employee separation costs; (ii) realizable values of assets made redundant, obsolete, or excessive; and (iii) the ability to generate sublease income and to terminate lease obligations at the estimated amounts. Stock-Based Compensation Expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and therefore only recognizes compensation costs for those shares expected to vest over the service period of the award. Stock-based awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of these awards; the Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, generally one to four years. Calculating stock-based compensation expense related to stock options requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock options, stock price volatility, and the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of stock awards. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise patterns, which the Company believes are representative of future behavior. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock on the date of grant based on the implied volatility of publicly traded options on its common stock, with a term of one year or greater. The Company believes that implied volatility calculated based on actively traded options on its common stock is a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than historical volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected pre-vesting award forfeiture rate, as well as the probability that performance conditions that affect the vesting of certain awards will be achieved, and only recognizes expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience of the Company’s stock-based awards that are granted and cancelled before vesting. See Note 13—“Employee Benefits” for additional information. The Company uses the “with and without” approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. When tax deductions from stock-based awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting difference (“shortfall”) is charged first to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the Company’s pool of windfall tax benefits with any remainder recognized in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it had a sufficient windfall pool available through the end of 2012 to absorb any shortfalls. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes, such as the research tax credit, through the consolidated statements of income. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amended guidance, an entity must present information regarding reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This is required for both annual and interim reporting. The amendment becomes effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2012. This guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it is disclosure-only in nature. |

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | Note 2 INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following tables summarize the investments in available-for-sale securities (in thousands):
Available-for-sale securities included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets are not included in the table above as the gross unrealized gains and losses were immaterial for both 2011 and 2012 as the carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Realized gains and losses from sales of marketable securities were not material for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. The contractual maturities of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were as follows (in thousands):
The following tables show all investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized and the related gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands):
The Company’s investment portfolio consists of liquid high-quality fixed income government, agency, and corporate debt securities, money market funds, time deposits with financial institutions, and preference shares. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Fixed income securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a deterioration of the credit quality of the issuer. The longer the term of the securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market rates. Investments are reviewed periodically to identify possible other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has no current requirement or intent to sell these securities. The Company expects to recover up to (or beyond) the initial cost of investment for securities held.
The Company’s investment in the Alibaba Group preference shares (“Alibaba Group Preference Shares”) is presented as an asset carried at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. To estimate the fair value, the Company performed benchmarking by comparing the terms and conditions of the Alibaba Group Preference Shares to dividend rates, subordination terms, and credit ratings of those of similar type instruments. As of December 31, 2012, the total fair value of the Alibaba Group Preferences Shares is $822 million and includes $6 million of accrued dividend income recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $16 million of accrued dividend income recorded as part of the carrying value of the Alibaba Group Preference Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded approximately $23 million in dividend income related to the Alibaba Group Preference Shares within other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. The following table sets forth the financial assets, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2011 (in thousands):
The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
The amount of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 includes $911 million and $597 million, respectively, in cash deposits. The fair values of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security that may not be actively traded. The Company utilizes a pricing service to assist in obtaining fair value pricing for the majority of this investment portfolio. The Company classifies its investment in the Alibaba Group Preference Shares within Level 3 because it is valued using significant unobservable inputs. To estimate the fair value, the Company performed benchmarking by comparing the terms and conditions of the Alibaba Group Preference Shares to dividend rates, subordination terms, and credit ratings of those of similar type instruments. The credit rating of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group”), general business conditions, and market rates could materially affect the fair value of the Alibaba Group Preference Shares. The Company conducts reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity, and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure. Activity between Levels of the Fair Value Hierarchy During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not make any transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $23 million as interest income related to its investment in Alibaba Group Preference Shares. Interest income is included within other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. There was no other activity related to our Level 3 assets. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any significant Level 3 financial assets or liabilities. |

ACQUISITIONS | Note 4 ACQUISITIONS The following table summarizes acquisitions (including business combinations and asset acquisitions) completed during the three years ended December 31, 2012 (in millions):
Transactions completed in 2010 All Acquisitions—Business Combinations. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company acquired four companies, which were accounted for as business combinations. The total purchase price for these acquisitions was $159 million. The total cash consideration of $159 million less cash acquired of $2 million resulted in a net cash outlay of $157 million. Of the total purchase price, $105 million was allocated to goodwill, $50 million to amortizable intangible assets, $27 million to tangible assets, $2 million to cash acquired, and $25 million to net assumed liabilities. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is not deductible for tax purposes.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO YAHOO! COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE | Note 7 BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO YAHOO! COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE Basic and diluted net income attributable to Yahoo! common stockholders per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding net income attributable to participating securities (restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s 1995 Stock Plan and restricted stock units granted under the Company’s 1996 Directors’ Stock Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”)). Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and consist of unvested restricted stock and shares underlying unvested restricted stock units, the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, and shares to be purchased under the Company’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The Company calculates potential tax windfalls and shortfalls by including the impact of pro forma deferred tax assets. The Company takes into account the effect on consolidated net income per share of dilutive securities of entities in which the Company holds equity interests that are accounted for using the equity method. For 2010, 2011, and 2012, potentially dilutive securities representing approximately 80 million, 56 million, and 39 million shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INTERESTS | Note 8 INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INTERESTS As of December 31, investments in equity interests consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
Equity Investment in Alibaba Group. On October 23, 2005, the Company acquired approximately 46 percent of the outstanding common stock of the Alibaba Group, which represented approximately 40 percent on a fully diluted basis, in exchange for $1.0 billion in cash, the contribution of the Company’s China-based businesses (“Yahoo! China”), and direct transaction costs of $8 million. Another investor in Alibaba Group is Softbank Corp., a Japanese corporation (“Softbank”). Alibaba Group is a privately-held company.
The Company’s initial purchase price was based on acquiring a 40 percent equity interest in Alibaba Group on a fully diluted basis; however, the Company acquired a 46 percent interest based on outstanding shares. In allocating the initial excess of the carrying value of the investment in Alibaba Group over its proportionate share of the net assets of Alibaba Group, the Company allocated a portion of the excess to goodwill to account for the estimated reductions in the carrying value of the investment in Alibaba that may occur as the Company’s equity interest is diluted to 40 percent based on specific events anticipated at the time. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s ownership interest in Alibaba Group was approximately 42 percent and 24 percent, respectively. The investment in Alibaba Group is being accounted for using the equity method, and the total investment, including net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, is classified as part of investments in equity interests on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s accounting policy is to record its share of the results of Alibaba Group, and any related amortization expense, one quarter in arrears, within earnings in equity interests in the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2012, Alibaba Group’s common shareholders’ equity is a net deficit as a result of the repurchase of its ordinary shares from the Company at fair value, which was significantly in excess of the book value per share. The Company’s remaining investment balance represents excess cost largely attributable to goodwill. Framework Agreement with Alibaba Group regarding Alipay. Alibaba Group restructured the ownership of Alipay.com Co., Ltd. (“Alipay”) and deconsolidated Alipay in the first quarter of 2011. The impact of the deconsolidation of Alipay was not material to the Company’s financial statements. On July 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Alibaba Group, Softbank, Alipay, APN Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“IPCo”), Zhejiang Alibaba E-Commerce Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“HoldCo”), Jack Ma Yun, Joseph C. Tsai and certain security holders of Alipay or HoldCo as joinder parties. The Framework Agreement establishes the ongoing financial and other arrangements between Alibaba Group and Alipay. The transactions under the Framework Agreement closed on December 14, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement: (1) Alibaba Group will receive certain payments (“Liquidity Event Payment”) upon a liquidity event related to Alipay, such as an initial public offering or sale of Alipay; (2) Alibaba Group received a non-interest bearing promissory note in the principal amount of $500 million with a seven year maturity (the “IPCo Promissory Note”); (3) upon payment in full of the Liquidity Event Payment certain assets used in the Alipay business that were retained by Alibaba Group will be transferred to Alipay; (4) Alibaba Group and Alipay entered into a long-term agreement pursuant to which Alibaba Group will receive payment processing services on preferential terms from Alipay and its subsidiaries; and (5) Alibaba Group licensed to Alipay certain intellectual property and technology and performs certain software technology services for Alipay and in return Alipay pays to Alibaba Group a royalty and software technology services fee. The royalty and software technology services fee and the payment processing services fees discussed above approximate the estimated fair values of such services and are recognized in Alibaba Group’s financial statements as income or expense, as applicable, as the services are rendered. The Company will record its share, if any, of the results of these transactions as they are recorded by Alibaba Group within Yahoo!’s earnings in equity interests in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Alibaba Group will recognize the Liquidity Event Payment, the payment of the IPCo Promissory Note, and any impact from the transfer of assets, described above, if and when such payments or transfers occur. The Company will record its share, if any, of the results of these transactions as they are recorded by Alibaba Group within the Company’s earnings in equity interests in the consolidated statements of income.
Initial Repurchase by Alibaba Group. On September 18, 2012 (the “Repurchase Closing Date”), Alibaba Group repurchased 523 million of the 1,047 million Alibaba Group Shares owned by the Company (the “Initial Repurchase”). The Initial Repurchase was made pursuant to the terms of the Share Repurchase and Preference Share Sale Agreement entered into by Yahoo! Inc., Alibaba Group and Yahoo! Hong Kong Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Yahoo! Inc. (“YHK”) on May 20, 2012 (as amended on September 11, 2012, the “Repurchase Agreement”). Yahoo! received $13.54 per Share, or approximately $7.1 billion in total consideration, for the 523 million Shares sold to Alibaba Group. Approximately $6.3 billion of the consideration was received in cash and $800 million was received in Alibaba Group Preference Shares. The Initial Repurchase resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company will continue to account for its remaining approximately 24 percent ownership interest in Alibaba Group under the equity method. The Alibaba Group Preference Shares yield semi-annual dividends at a rate per annum of up to 10 percent, with at least 3 percent payable in cash and the remainder accruing and resulting in an increase to the liquidation preference. The dividend rate is subject to certain adjustments. The Alibaba Group Preference Shares will be freely transferable by Yahoo! after 18 months from the Repurchase Closing Date, are callable by Alibaba Group at any time at the liquidation preference, will not be convertible, and are mandatorily redeemable at the liquidation preference (including accrued dividends) by Alibaba Group on the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Repurchase Closing Date and the occurrence of certain specified events. The Alibaba Group Preference Shares are classified as available for sale securities. The Repurchase Agreement provides that at the time Alibaba Group completes an initial public offering meeting certain specified criteria (a “Qualified IPO”), Yahoo! and YHK will sell, at Alibaba Group’s election (either directly to Alibaba Group or in the Qualified IPO), up to 261.5 million of their remaining Shares. If Shares are sold back to Alibaba Group in the Qualified IPO, the purchase price per Share will be equal to the per share price in the Qualified IPO less specified fees and underwriter discounts. On the Repurchase Closing Date, the Company and Alibaba Group entered into an amendment of their existing Technology and Intellectual Property License Agreement (the “TIPLA”) pursuant to which Alibaba Group made a payment to the Company of $550 million in satisfaction of certain future royalty payments under the existing TIPLA. The Company will recognize this revenue over the remaining four-year term. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $39 million in revenue related to the TIPLA. Alibaba Group will continue making royalty payments until the earlier of the fourth anniversary of the effective date of the amendment and a Qualified IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the TIPLA, the Company also recognized revenue of approximately $28 million, $44 million, and $86 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. The following table presents Alibaba Group’s U.S. GAAP financial information, as derived from the Alibaba Group financial statements (in thousands):
Since acquiring its interest in Alibaba Group, the Company has recorded, in retained earnings, cumulative earnings in equity interests, net of tax, of $440 million and $661 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Equity Investment in Yahoo Japan. During April 1996, the Company signed a joint venture agreement with Softbank, which was amended in September 1997, whereby Yahoo Japan Corporation (“Yahoo Japan”) was formed. Yahoo Japan was formed to establish and manage a local version of Yahoo! in Japan. The investment in Yahoo Japan is being accounted for using the equity method and the total investment, including net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, is classified as part of the investments in equity interests balance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records its share of the results of Yahoo Japan and any related amortization expense, one quarter in arrears, within earnings in equity interests in the consolidated statements of income. Yahoo Japan’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”). The Company makes adjustments to its earnings in equity interests line in the consolidated statements of income for any differences between U.S. GAAP and Japanese GAAP. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded $33 million in U.S. GAAP adjustments to Yahoo Japan’s net income to reflect the Company’s 35 percent share of non-cash losses related to impairments of assets held by Yahoo Japan. The $33 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily includes $7 million related to the Company’s share of a non-cash loss in connection with an impairment of assets held by Yahoo Japan in the second quarter of 2011 and a $26 million, U.S. GAAP adjustment to Yahoo Japan’s net income in the first quarter of 2011 to reflect the Company’s share of an other-than-temporary impairment of a cost method investment of Yahoo Japan that resulted primarily from reductions in the projected operating results of the Yahoo Japan investee. The fair value of the Company’s ownership in the common stock of Yahoo Japan, based on the quoted stock price, was approximately $7 billion as of December 31, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company received cash dividends from Yahoo Japan in the amounts of $61 million, $75 million, and $84 million, net of tax, respectively, which were recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in Yahoo Japan.

The Company has also agreed to indemnify certain former officers, directors, and employees of acquired companies in connection with the acquisition of such companies. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and officers, and former directors and officers of acquired companies, in certain circumstances. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements might not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, the Company has not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, the Company is not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if the Company had engaged in such relationships. In addition, the Company identified no variable interests currently held in entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. See Note 18—“Search Agreement with Microsoft Corporation” for a description of the Company’s Search Agreement and License Agreement with Microsoft. Legal Contingencies. Intellectual Property Matters. From time to time, third parties assert patent infringement claims against the Company. Currently, the Company is engaged in lawsuits regarding patent issues and has been notified of other potential patent disputes. In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights, claims related to employment matters, and a variety of other claims, including claims alleging defamation, invasion of privacy, or similar claims arising in connection with the Company’s e-mail, message boards, photo and video sites, auction sites, shopping services, and other communications and community features. Stockholder and Securities Matters. On June 14, 2007, a stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Jill Watkins against members of the Board and selected officers. The complaint filed by the plaintiff alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and corporate waste, similar to the allegations in a former class action relating to stock price declines during the period April 2004 to July 2006, and alleged violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On July 16, 2009, the plaintiff Watkins voluntarily dismissed the action against all defendants without prejudice. On July 17, 2009, plaintiff Miguel Leyte-Vidal, who had substituted in as plaintiff prior to the dismissal of the federal Watkins action, re-filed a stockholder derivative action in Santa Clara County Superior Court against members of the Board and selected officers. The Santa Clara County Superior Court derivative action purports to assert causes of action on behalf of the Company for violation of specified provisions of the California Corporations Code, for breaches of fiduciary duty regarding financial accounting and insider selling and for unjust enrichment. On September 19, 2011, the Court sustained Yahoo!’s demurrer to plaintiff’s third amended complaint without leave to amend. Plaintiff has appealed. Since May 31, 2011, several related stockholder derivative suits were filed in the Santa Clara County Superior Court (“California Derivative Litigation”) and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (“Federal Derivative Litigation”) purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain officers and directors of the Company and third parties. The California Derivative Litigation was filed by plaintiffs Cinotto, Lassoff, Zucker, and Koo, and consolidated under the caption In re Yahoo! Inc. Derivative Shareholder Litigation on June 24, 2011 and September 12, 2011. The Federal Derivative Litigation was filed by plaintiffs Salzman, Tawila, and Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund and consolidated under the caption In re Yahoo! Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation on October 3, 2011. The plaintiffs allege breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, mismanagement, abuse of control, unjust enrichment, misappropriation of corporate assets, or contribution and seek damages, equitable relief, disgorgement and corporate governance changes in connection with Alibaba Group’s restructuring of its subsidiary Alipay and related disclosures. On June 7, 2012, the courts approved stipulations staying the California Derivative Litigation pending resolution of the Federal Derivative Litigation, and deferring the Federal Derivative Litigation pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss filed by the defendants in the related stockholder class actions, which are discussed below. Since June 6, 2011, two purported stockholder class actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain officers and directors of the Company by plaintiffs Bonato and the Twin Cities Pipe Trades Pension Trust. In October 2011, the District Court consolidated the two actions under the caption In re Yahoo! Inc. Securities Litigation and appointed the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers as lead plaintiff. In a consolidated amended complaint filed December 15, 2011, the lead plaintiff purports to represent a class of investors who purchased the Company’s common stock between April 19, 2011 and July 29, 2011, and alleges that during that class period, defendants issued statements that were materially false or misleading because they did not disclose information relating to Alibaba Group’s restructuring of Alipay. The complaint purports to assert claims for relief for violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and for violation of Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and seeks unspecified damages, injunctive and equitable relief, fees and costs. On August 10, 2012, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs have appealed. Mexico Matter. On November 16, 2011, plaintiffs Worldwide Directories, S.A. de C.V. (“WWD”), and Ideas Interactivas, S.A. de C.V. (“Ideas”) filed an action in the 49th Civil Court of Mexico against the Company, Yahoo! de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Yahoo! Mexico”), Yahoo International Subsidiary Holdings, Inc., and Yahoo Hispanic Americas LLC. The complaint alleged claims of breach of contract, breach of promise, and lost profits in connection with various commercial contracts entered into among the parties between 2002 and 2004, relating to a business listings service, and alleged total damages of approximately $2.75 billion. On December 7, 2011, Yahoo! Mexico filed a counterclaim against WWD for payments of approximately $2.6 million owed to Yahoo! Mexico for services rendered. On April 10, 2012, plaintiffs withdrew their claim filed against Yahoo International Subsidiary Holdings, Inc. and Yahoo Hispanic Americas LLC. On November 28, 2012, the 49th Civil Court of Mexico entered a non-final judgment against the Company and Yahoo! Mexico in the amount of USD $2.75 billion and a non-final judgment in favor of Yahoo! Mexico on its counterclaim against WWD in the amount of $2.6 million. The judgment against the Company and Yahoo! Mexico purports to leave open for determination in future proceedings certain other alleged damages that were not quantified in the judgment. The judgment was issued by a law clerk to the trial court judge who presided over the entire case during the trial court proceedings but stepped down from his position shortly before the judgment was entered. On December 12, 2012 and December 13, 2012, respectively, Yahoo! Mexico and the Company appealed the judgment to a three-magistrate panel of the Superior Court of Justice for the Federal District (the “Superior Court”). The appeals must be heard as a matter of law and are pending. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims are without legal or factual merit. First, the plaintiffs’ claims are based on agreements that were either terminated by agreement with releases or had expired or terminated in accordance with their terms, a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which no definitive agreements were ever entered into by the parties, and correspondence that did not constitute agreements. Second, the loss of profits of the type claimed by plaintiffs are not awardable under Mexico law because they were not a direct and immediate consequence of a breach of contract. Of the $2.75 billion in total damages alleged by plaintiffs, more than $2.4 billion were for loss of profits. Third, the plaintiffs’ alleged damages and loss of profits were further precluded by the agreements at issue through, among other things, contractual and legal limitations of liability. Fourth, the plaintiffs’ pleadings in the complaint, as well as documentary evidence filed by the plaintiffs in support of their allegations, were generally deficient to support or establish plaintiffs’ claims. Fifth, the decision failed to consider substantially all of the defenses asserted by the Company and Yahoo! Mexico. Finally, the Company believes that the law clerk who entered the judgment lacked the requisite authority to issue the judgment.
The Company does not believe that it is probable that the judgment will be sustained on appeal and, accordingly, has not recorded an accrual for the judgment. The Company cannot predict the timing of a decision or assure the ultimate outcome of its appeals. The Company intends to vigorously pursue all of its appeals. If the current appeals were to be unsuccessful, the Company and Yahoo! Mexico may file a petition with the Mexican Federal Civil Collegiate Court for the First Circuit (the “Civil Collegiate Court”) to challenge the decision of the Superior Court as unconstitutional, unlawful, or both. If filed, this petition also must be heard as a matter of law. The parties may then petition for review of any decision of the Civil Collegiate Court to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of Mexico (the “Mexico Supreme Court”). A petition to the Mexico Supreme Court, if filed, is granted at the discretion of the Mexico Supreme Court and its review is limited to interpretations of the Constitution of Mexico or the constitutionality of a provision of Mexico law. The Company has determined, based on current knowledge, that the amount or range of reasonably possible losses, including reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable with respect to certain matters described above. The Company has also determined, based on current knowledge, that the aggregate amount or range of losses that are estimable with respect to the Company’s legal proceedings, including the matters described above other than the Mexico matter, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Amounts accrued as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 were not material. The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties, and cannot be predicted with certainty. In the event of a determination adverse to Yahoo!, its subsidiaries, directors, or officers in these matters including in the Mexico matter, however, the Company may incur substantial monetary liability and/or be required to change its business practices. Either of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company may also incur substantial legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these. |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | Note 12 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The Board has the authority to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Stock Repurchases. The Company repurchases its common stock from time to time in part to reduce the dilutive effects of its stock options, awards, and employee stock purchase plan. In June 2010, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program allowing the Company to repurchase up to $3 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. That repurchase program, which by its terms, would have expired in June 2013, was exhausted during the third quarter of 2012. In May 2012, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program allowing the Company to repurchase up to an additional $5 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. The May 2012 repurchase program, according to its terms, will expire in June 2015 unless revoked earlier by the Board. Repurchases under the repurchase programs may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Under the October 2006 program, in the year ended December 31, 2010, 63 million shares were repurchased under the October 2006 program for a total of $973 million, which exhausted the repurchase under the October 2006 program, and 56 million shares were repurchased under the June 2010 program for a total of $776 million, resulting in aggregate repurchases during the period of 119 million shares for a total of $1.7 billion at an average price of $14.68 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 110 million shares were repurchased under the June 2010 program for a total of $1.6 billion at an average price of $14.75 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately 126 million shares of its common stock under the June 2010 and May 2012 stock repurchase programs at an average price of $17.20 per share for a total of $2.2 billion. The June 2010 program was exhausted during 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the May 2012 program had remaining authorized purchase capacity of $3.4 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company retired 82 million shares, resulting in reductions of $82 thousand in common stock, $643 million in additional paid-in capital, and $559 million in retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company retired 79 million shares, resulting in reductions of $79 thousand in common stock, $631 million in additional paid-in capital, and $585 million in retained earnings. Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method. |

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS | Note 13 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Benefit Plans. The Company maintains the Yahoo! Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for its full-time employees in the U.S. The 401(k) Plan allows employees of the Company to contribute up to the Internal Revenue Code prescribed maximum amount. Employees may elect to contribute from 1 to 50 percent of their annual compensation to the 401(k) Plan. The Company matches employee contributions at a rate of 25 percent, up to the IRS prescribed amount. Both employee and employer contributions vest immediately upon contribution. During 2010, 2011, and 2012, the Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to approximately $21 million, $20 million, and $19 million, respectively. The Company also contributed approximately $23 million, $24 million, and $22 million to its other defined contribution retirement benefit plans outside of the U.S. for 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Stock Plans. The 1995 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, including executive officers, and consultants. The 1995 Stock Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and dividend equivalents. Options granted under the 1995 Stock Plan before May 19, 2005 generally expire 10 years after the grant date, and options granted after May 19, 2005 generally expire seven years after the grant date. Options generally become exercisable over a four-year period based on continued employment and vest either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. The 1995 Stock Plan permits the granting of restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock awards”). The restricted stock award vesting criteria are generally the passing of time, meeting certain performance-based objectives, or a combination of both, and continued employment through the vesting period (which varies but generally does not exceed four years). Restricted stock award grants are generally measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Such value is recognized as an expense over the corresponding service period. The 1995 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 754 million shares of which 109 million shares were still available for award grant purposes as of December 31, 2012. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued in settlement of “full-value awards” (which include all awards other than options and stock appreciation rights) granted on or after June 25, 2009 under the 1995 Stock Plan is counted as 1.75 shares against the 1995 Stock Plan’s share limit. The Directors’ Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units to non-employee directors of the Company. The Directors’ Plan provides for the issuance of up to 9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, of which approximately 5 million were still available for award grant purposes as of December 31, 2012. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued in settlement of restricted stock units granted after the Company’s 2006 annual meeting of shareholders under the Directors’ Plan is counted as 1.75 shares against the Directors’ Plan’s share limit. Options granted under the Directors’ Plan before May 25, 2006 generally become exercisable, based on continued service as a director, for initial grants to new directors, in equal monthly installments over four years, and for annual grants, with 25 percent of such options vesting on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining options vesting in equal monthly installments over the remaining 36-month period thereafter. Such options generally expire seven to 10 years after the grant date. Options granted on or after May 25, 2006 become exercisable, based on continued service as a director, in equal quarterly installments over one year. Such options generally expire seven years after the grant date. Restricted stock units granted under the Directors’ Plan generally vest in equal quarterly installments over a one-year period following the date of grant and, once vested, are generally payable in an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the earlier of the end of the one-year vesting period or the date the director ceases to be a member of the Board (subject to any deferral election that may be made by the director). Non-employee directors are also permitted to elect an award of restricted stock units or a stock option under the Directors’ Plan in lieu of a cash payment of fees for serving as chairperson of a committee of the Board. Such stock options or restricted stock unit awards granted in lieu of cash for chairperson fees are fully vested on the grant date. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their compensation subject to certain Internal Revenue Code limitations. Prior to November 2012, the price of common stock purchased under the plan was equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the commencement date of each 24-month offering period or the specified purchase date. Beginning in November 2012, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was modified to consist of three-month offering periods. The price of the common stock purchased under the plan after November 2012 will be equal to 90 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the commencement date of each three-month offering period or the specified purchase date. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 75 million shares of common stock of which 19 million shares were available as of December 31, 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, stock-based compensation expense related to the activity under the plan was $26 million, $46 million, and $31 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was $19 million of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. The Company’s 1995 Stock Plan, the Directors’ Plan, and other stock-based award plans assumed through acquisitions are collectively referred to as the “Plans.” Stock option activity under the Company’s Plans is summarized as follows (in thousands, except years and per share amounts):
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012 was $5.27, $5.04, and $4.36 per share, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2012 and the exercise price for in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders if all in-the-money options had been exercised on December 31, 2012. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012 was $49 million, $46 million, and $45 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was $30 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. Cash received from option exercises and purchases of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $218 million. The total net tax benefit attributable to stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2012 was $14 million. The fair value of option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Restricted stock awards activity for the year ended December 31, 2012 is summarized as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
As of December 31, 2012, there was $281 million of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012 was $195 million, $136 million, and $171 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, 10.7 million shares subject to previously granted restricted stock awards vested. A majority of these vested restricted stock awards were net share settled. The Company withheld 3.9 million shares based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the vesting date to settle the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. The Company then remitted cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. The payments were used for tax withholdings related to the net share settlements of restricted stock units. The payments had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued on the vesting date and were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. In 2010, 2011, and 2012, $131 million, $71 million, and $36 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits from stock-based awards for options exercised and restricted stock awards that vested in current and prior periods were included as a source of cash flows from financing activities. These excess tax benefits represent the reduction in income taxes otherwise payable during the period, attributable to the actual gross tax benefits in excess of the expected tax benefits for options exercised and restricted stock awards that vested in current and prior periods. The Company has accumulated excess tax deductions relating to stock options exercised and restricted stock awards that vested prior to January 1, 2006 available to reduce income taxes otherwise payable. To the extent such deductions reduce income taxes payable in the current year, they are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. CEO 2012 Annual Equity Awards. Marissa A. Mayer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, received an equity award for 2012 that will vest over three years. A total of $6 million of this equity award was granted as restricted stock units on July 26, 2012 and will vest over three years. The remaining portion of this equity award was granted in November 2012 as a performance-based stock option that will vest over the two and a half years after July 26, 2012, subject to satisfaction of performance criteria. See below for additional discussion of the performance-based stock options. After 2012, Ms. Mayer will be eligible to receive annual equity grants when such grants are made to senior executives. Subject to the discretion of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), the Company contemplates that the target value of such awards will not be less than the target value of her 2012 annual grant. CEO One-Time Retention Award. Ms. Mayer received a one-time retention equity award that will vest over five years. A total of $15 million of this equity award was granted as restricted stock units on July 26, 2012 and will vest over five years. The remaining $15 million portion of this equity award was granted in November 2012 as a performance-based stock option that will vest over the four and a half years after July 26, 2012, subject to satisfaction of performance criteria. See below for additional discussion of the performance-based stock options. CEO Make-Whole Restricted Stock Units. To partially compensate Ms. Mayer for forfeiture of compensation from her previous employer, on July 26, 2012 she was granted restricted stock units with a grant-date value of $14 million (the “Make-Whole RSUs”). The Make-Whole RSUs are scheduled to vest on the following schedule, based on grant date values: $7 million in 2013 and $3 million in 2014. $4 million of the Make-Whole RSUs vested in 2012. Former CEO Inducement and Make-Up Equity. On January 27, 2012, Mr. Scott Thompson, former Chief Executive Officer, was granted an award of restricted stock units under the 1995 Stock Plan with an aggregate value of $6.5 million on the date of grant (the “Thompson Make-Whole RSUs”). On February 10, 2012, Mr. Thompson received a make-whole cash bonus of $1.5 million (the “Make-Whole Cash Bonus”). The Thompson Make-Whole RSUs and the Make-Whole Cash Bonus compensated Mr. Thompson for the forfeiture of the value of his cash bonus and equity awards from his previous employer. The Thompson Make-Whole RSUs vested as to a number of stock units with a grant date value of $5.5 million on March 15, 2012 and the remaining stock units were forfeited upon Mr. Thompson’s resignation as Yahoo!’s Chief Executive Officer and President effective May 12, 2012. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $6 million for year ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the equity grants made to Mr. Thompson pursuant to the terms of his employment letter agreement with the Company. Performance-Based Executive Incentive Equity Awards. In November 2012, the Compensation Committee approved long-term performance-based stock options to Ms. Mayer and other senior officers that vest based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals. The number of stock options which ultimately vest will range from 0 percent to 100 percent of the target amount stated in each executive’s award agreement based on the attainment of performance targets. The stock options generally will vest in equal installments over periods ranging from six months to four and a half years based on the Company’s attainment of certain financial performance targets as well as the executive’s continued employment through the vesting period. The financial performance metrics (and their weightings) are revenue ex-TAC (50 percent), operating income (30 percent) and free cash flow (20 percent), in each case subject to adjustments specified in the award agreements. The financial performance targets for each metric are established at the beginning of each performance period and, accordingly, the tranche of the award subject to each target is treated as a separate annual grant for accounting purposes. In January 2013, financial performance targets were established for the first performance period (the six months ending June 30, 2013) and the second performance period (the full year ending December 31, 2013). The fair values of the first and second tranche of the November 2012 financial performance stock option grant were $12 million and $14 million, respectively. The Company began recording stock-based compensation expense in January 2013, when the financial performance targets were established and approved. |

INCOME TAXES | Note 15 INCOME TAXES The components of income before income taxes and earnings in equity interests are as follows (in thousands):
The provision for income taxes is composed of the following (in thousands):
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes and earnings in equity interests as follows (in thousands):
Significant variances year over year as shown above are further explained as follows:
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $143 million and $127 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state tax law. If not utilized, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2021. The Company’s state research tax credit carryforward for income tax purposes is approximately $167 million and it can be carried forward indefinitely. Tax credit carryforwards that result from the exercise of employee stock options are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital if and when realized through a reduction in income taxes payable. The Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $52 million as of December 31, 2012 against certain deferred income tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to realize its deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including operating results, ongoing tax planning, and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 relates to foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will reduce the provision for income taxes if and when recognized.
In connection with a review of the Company’s cash position and anticipated cash needs for investment in the Company’s core business, including potential acquisitions and capital expenditures, and stock repurchases, the Company made a one-time repatriation of foreign earnings and return of basis of foreign subsidiaries of $962 million from certain of its consolidated foreign subsidiaries in 2012. The distribution resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $117 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 since the foreign tax credits associated with the distribution are greater than the tax due on the distribution of the foreign earnings. The remaining undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $2 billion, principally related to Yahoo Japan, will continue to be indefinitely reinvested going forward. If these earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits). It is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that might be incurred if these earnings were to be repatriated. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $727 million as of December 31, 2012, of which up to $523 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if realized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2011 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):
The total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 include approximately $139 million and $84 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that have been netted against the related deferred tax assets. The remaining balances are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):
The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. During 2011 and 2012, interest and penalties recorded in the consolidated statements of income were a credit of $2 million and a charge of $37 million, respectively. The amounts of accrued interest and penalties recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 were approximately $14 million and $51 million, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 1995 to 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.
During the last quarter of 2011, the Company commenced discussions with the IRS Appeals Division to settle the contested adjustments for certain intercompany transfer- pricing matters from the 2005 and 2006 income tax examination. A tentative agreement has been reached and if the matter is resolved on the basis that is currently being discussed with the IRS, then the settlement will not cause the Company to have tax exposure beyond what has already been provided. The Company has protested similar transfer-pricing adjustments to our 2007 and 2008 income tax returns. No hearings with the IRS Appeals Division have been held. The Company’s 2009 and 2010 U.S. income tax returns are currently under IRS examination. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s 2005 through 2008 tax returns are also under various stages of audit by the California Franchise Tax Board. While the Franchise Tax Board has not reached any conclusions on the 2007 and 2008 returns, the Company has protested the proposed adjustments to the 2005 and 2006 returns. The Company is also in various stages of examination and appeal in connection with its taxes in other U.S. states and in foreign jurisdictions, which generally span tax years 2005 through 2010 While it is difficult to determine when the examinations will be settled or their final outcomes, certain audits in various jurisdictions related to multinational income tax issues are expected to be resolved in the foreseeable future. As a result, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $90 million in the next twelve months. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable adjustment and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company may have additional tax liabilities in China related to the sale to Alibaba Group of 523 million ordinary shares of Alibaba Group that took place during the year ended December 31, 2012. Any taxes assessed and paid in China are expected to be ultimately offset and recovered in the U.S. During the year ended December 31, 2012, tax authorities from the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo assessed certain indirect taxes against the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Yahoo! do Brasil Internet Ltda., related to online advertising services. The assessment totaling approximately $85 million is for calendar years 2008 and 2009. The Company currently believes the assessment is without merit. The Company does not believe that it is probable the assessment will be sustained upon appeal and, accordingly, has not recorded an accrual for the assessment. |

SEARCH AGREEMENT WITH MICROSOFT CORPORATION

SEARCH AGREEMENT WITH MICROSOFT CORPORATION | Note 18 SEARCH AGREEMENT WITH MICROSOFT CORPORATION On December 4, 2009, the Company entered into the Search Agreement with Microsoft, which provides for Microsoft to be the exclusive algorithmic and paid search services provider on Yahoo! Properties and non-exclusive provider of such services on Affiliate sites. The Company also entered into a License Agreement with Microsoft. Under the License Agreement, Microsoft acquired an exclusive 10-year license to the Company’s core search technology and will have the ability to integrate this technology into its existing Web search platforms. The Company received regulatory clearance from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission on February 18, 2010 and commenced implementation of the Search Agreement on February 23, 2010. Under the Search Agreement, the Company will be the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers, which include advertisers meeting certain spending or other criteria, advertising agencies that specialize in or offer search engine marketing services and their clients, and resellers and their clients seeking assistance with their paid search accounts. The term of the Search Agreement is 10 years from February 23, 2010, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Search Agreement.
During the first five years of the term of the Search Agreement, in the transitioned markets the Company is entitled to receive 88 percent of the revenue generated from Microsoft’s services on Yahoo! Properties (the “Revenue Share Rate”) and the Company is also entitled to receive 88 percent of the revenue generated from Microsoft’s services on Affiliate sites after the Affiliate’s share of revenue. For new Affiliates during the term of the Search Agreement, and for all Affiliates after the first five years of such term, the Company will receive 88 percent of the revenue generated from Microsoft’s services on Affiliate sites after the Affiliate’s share of revenue and certain Microsoft costs are deducted. On the fifth anniversary of the date of implementation of the Search Agreement, Microsoft will have the option to terminate the Company’s sales exclusivity for premium search advertisers. If Microsoft exercises its option, the Revenue Share Rate will increase to 93 percent for the remainder of the term of the Search Agreement, unless the Company exercises its option to retain the Company’s sales exclusivity, in which case the Revenue Share Rate would be reduced to 83 percent for the remainder of the term. If Microsoft does not exercise such option, the Revenue Share Rate will be 90 percent for the remainder of the term of the Search Agreement. In the transitioned markets, the Company reports as revenue the 88 percent revenue share as the Company is not the primary obligor in the arrangement with the advertisers and publishers. The underlying search advertising services are provided by Microsoft. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, the Company had collected a total amount of $66 million and nil, respectively, on behalf of Microsoft and Affiliates, which was included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with a corresponding liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company’s uncollected 88 percent share in connection with the Search Agreement was $203 million and $258 million, which is included in accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Under the Search Agreement, for each market, Microsoft generally guarantees Yahoo!’s revenue per search (“RPS Guarantee”) on Yahoo! Properties only for 18 months after the transition of paid search services to Microsoft’s platform in that market. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Microsoft agreed to extend the RPS Guarantee in the U.S. and Canada through March 2013. The RPS Guarantee is calculated based on the difference in revenue per search between the pre-transition and post-transition periods and certain other factors. The Company records the RPS Guarantee as search revenue in the quarter the amount becomes fixed, which would typically be the quarter in which the associated shortfall in revenue per search occurred. The Company completed the transition of its algorithmic and paid search platforms to the Microsoft platform in the U.S. and Canada in the fourth quarter of 2010. In 2011, the Company completed the transition of algorithmic search in all other markets and the transition of paid search in India. In 2012, the Company completed the transition of paid search in most EMEA markets as well as six markets in Latin America. We are continuing to work with Microsoft on transitioning paid search in the remaining markets. The market-by-market transition of the Company’s paid search platform to Microsoft’s platform and the migration of paid search advertisers and publishers to Microsoft’s platform are expected to continue through 2013, and possibly into 2014. From February 23, 2010 until the applicable services are fully transitioned to Microsoft in all markets, Microsoft will also reimburse the Company for the costs of operating algorithmic and paid search services subject to specified exclusions and limitations. The Company’s results for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 reflect $268 million, $212 million, and $67 million, respectively, in search operating cost reimbursements from Microsoft under the Search Agreement. Search operating cost reimbursements began during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and will, subject to specified exclusions and limitations, continue until the Company has fully transitioned to Microsoft’s platform. The Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2010 also reflect transition cost reimbursements from Microsoft under the Search Agreement, which were equal to the transition costs of $81 million incurred by Yahoo! related to the Search Agreement in the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2010, $43 million was recorded for reimbursement of transition costs incurred in 2009. The 2009 transition cost reimbursements were recorded in 2010 after regulatory clearance in the U.S. and Europe was received, implementation of the Search Agreement commenced, and Microsoft became obligated to make such payments. The Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflect transition cost reimbursements from Microsoft under the Search Agreement, which were equal to the transition costs of $26 million incurred by Yahoo! related to the Search Agreement in the year ended December 31, 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company’s cumulative transition costs exceeded Microsoft’s $150 million reimbursement cap under the Search Agreement. Transition costs the Company incurs in excess of the $150 million reimbursement cap are not subject to reimbursement. Reimbursement receivables are recorded as the reimbursable costs are incurred and are applied against the operating expense categories in which the costs were incurred. As of December 31, 2011, a total of $238 million of reimbursable expenses related to 2011 had been incurred by the Company related to the Search Agreement. Of that amount, $16 million had not been received from Microsoft and was classified as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, a total of $67 million of search operating cost reimbursable had been incurred by the Company related to the Search Agreement. Of that amount, $5 million had not been received from Microsoft and was classified as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012. |

THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
|
12 Months Ended |
---|---|
Dec. 31, 2012
|
|
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yahoo! Inc. and its majority-owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has included the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. To conform to the current period presentation, the Company corrected the classification of $55 million and $84 million of costs principally included in product development expenses to cost of revenue—other for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue, the useful lives of long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets, investment fair values, stock-based compensation, goodwill, income taxes, contingencies, and restructuring charges. The Company bases its estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
Concentration Of Risk | Concentration of Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments. The primary focus of the Company’s investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. A large portion of the Company’s cash is managed by external managers within the guidelines of the Company’s investment policy. The Company’s investment policy addresses the level of credit exposure by limiting the concentration in any one corporate issuer or sector and establishing a minimum allowable credit rating. To manage the risk exposure, the Company maintains its portfolio of cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of fixed income securities, including U.S. and foreign government, agency, municipal and highly rated corporate debt obligations and money market funds. The Company’s derivative instruments expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading the risk across several major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments” for additional information related to the Company’s derivative instruments. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable balance and no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the Company’s revenue for 2010, 2011, or 2012. Revenue under the Company’s Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (the “Search Agreement”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) represented more than 10 percent of the Company’s revenue during 2011 and 2012. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, net changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to our net investment hedges, as well as the Company’s share of its equity investees’ other comprehensive income. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency. The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and is often the local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenue and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company records translation gains (losses) related to its foreign equity method investments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company records foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $13 million and $9 million of net gains in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and $1 million of net losses in 2012. |
Cash And Cash Equivalents, Short- And Long-Term Marketable Debt And Equity Securities | Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short- and Long-Term Marketable Debt and Equity Securities. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds, time deposits, and liquid debt instruments of the U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, U.S. municipalities, and high-credit corporate issuers which are classified as marketable debt securities and cash equivalents. All investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Investments with maturities of less than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets. Investments with maturities greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term assets. Operating cash deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company seeks to mitigate its credit risk by spreading such risk across multiple counterparties and monitoring the risk profiles of these counterparties. The Company’s marketable debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains or losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other income, net. The Company evaluates the investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment. A decline of fair value below amortized costs of debt securities is considered an other-than-temporary impairment if the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In those instances, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis is recognized in earnings. Regardless of the Company’s intent or requirement to sell a debt security, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis; in those instances, a credit loss equal to the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected based on credit risk and the amortized cost basis of the debt security is recognized in earnings. The Company has no current requirement or intent to sell a material portion of debt securities as of December 31, 2012. The Company expects to recover up to (or beyond) the initial cost of investment for securities held. In computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, the Company determines cost based on amounts paid, including direct costs such as commissions to acquire the security, using the specific identification method. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt and equity securities were not material. |
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, to mitigate certain foreign currency exposures. The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as net investment hedges, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) with the effective portion of changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any ineffective portion is recorded in other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company expects the net investment hedges to be effective, on an after-tax basis, as described in ASC 815. Effectiveness will be assessed each quarter. Should any portion of the net investment hedge become ineffective, the ineffective portion will be reclassified to other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The fair values of the net investment hedges are determined using quoted observable inputs. Gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will not be reclassified into earnings until a sale of the Company’s underlying investment. The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as balance sheet hedges to mitigate foreign currency balance sheet exposures. These balance sheet hedges are used to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in other income, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The fair values of the balance sheet hedges are determined using quoted observable inputs. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as other assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 9—“Derivative Financial Instruments” for a full description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities and related accounting. |
Property And Equipment | Property and Equipment. Buildings are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their expected useful lives and the remaining lease term. Computers and equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Property and equipment to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. No impairments of such assets were identified during any of the periods presented. |
Capitalized Software and Labor | Capitalized Software and Labor. The Company capitalized certain software and labor costs totaling approximately $110 million, $192 million, and $180 million during 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years. During 2010, 2011, and 2012, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $108 million, $114 million, and $142 million, respectively. Capitalized software and labor costs are included in property and equipment, net. Included in the capitalized amounts above are $16 million, $22 million, and $24 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012. |
Goodwill | Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The performance of the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill. The Company’s reporting units are based on geography, either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments level. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using an average of a market approach and an income approach as this combination is deemed to be the most indicative of the Company’s fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants. In addition, the fair values estimated under these two approaches are validated against each other to ensure consistency. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes publicly-traded comparable company information, specific to the regions in which the reporting units operate, to determine revenue and earnings multiples that are used to value the reporting units adjusted for an estimated control premium. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2012 and determined that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and therefore goodwill in those reporting units was not impaired. See Note 5—“Goodwill” for additional information. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over one to eight years. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. |
Investments In Equity Interests | Investments in Equity Interests. Investments in the common stock of entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records its share of the results of these companies one quarter in arrears within earnings in equity interests on the consolidated statements of income. The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. Investments identified as having an indication of impairment are subject to further analysis to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary and this analysis requires estimating the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value of the investment involves considering factors such as the stock prices of public companies in which the Company has an equity investment, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and forecasted cash flows, and other company and industry specific information. |
Operating And Capital Leases | Operating and Capital Leases. The Company leases office space and data centers under operating leases and certain data center equipment under a capital lease agreement with original lease periods up to 12 years. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or its estimated useful life which is generally 10 to 15 years. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. For purposes of recognizing these lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, the Company uses the date of initial possession to begin amortization. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the period of straight-line recognition. For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company expensed $5 million of interest, which approximates the cash payments made for interest. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company had net lease commitments included in capital lease and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of $41 million and $37 million, respectively. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance against particular deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes comprises the Company’s current tax liability and change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. Income taxes paid were $232 million, $96 million, and $2.3 billion in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Interest paid was not material in any of the years presented. See Note 15—“Income Taxes” for additional information. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generated from several offerings including the display of graphical advertisements (“display advertising”), the placement of links to advertisers’ Websites (“search advertising”), and other sources. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the consideration is allocated based on the relative selling price for each deliverable. The selling price for each arrangement deliverable can be established based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available. An estimate of selling price (“ESP”) is used if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company recognizes revenue from display advertising on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites as impressions are delivered. Impressions are delivered when a sold advertisement appears in pages viewed by users. Arrangements for these services generally have terms of up to one year and in some cases the terms may be up to three years. For display advertising on Affiliate sites, the Company pays Affiliates for the revenue generated from the display of these advertisements on the Affiliate sites. Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) are payments made to third-party entities that have integrated the Company’s advertising offerings into their Websites or other offerings and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo! Properties. The display revenue derived from these arrangements that involve traffic supplied by Affiliates is reported gross of the TAC paid to Affiliates as the Company is the primary obligor to the advertisers who are the customers of the display advertising service. From time-to-time, the Company may offer customized display advertising solutions to advertisers. These customized display advertising solutions combine the Company’s standard display advertising with customized content, customer insights, and campaign analysis. Due to the unique nature of these products, the Company may not be able to establish selling prices based on historical stand-alone sales or third-party evidence; therefore, the Company may use its best estimate to establish selling prices. The Company establishes best estimates within a range of selling prices considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, class of advertiser, size of transaction, seasonality, margin objectives, observed pricing trends, available online inventory, industry pricing strategies, and market conditions. The Company believes the use of the best estimates of selling price allows revenue recognition in a manner consistent with the underlying economics of the transaction.
The Company recognizes revenue from search advertising on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites. Search revenue is recognized based on Paid Clicks. A Paid Click occurs when a user clicks on a sponsored listing on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites for which an advertiser pays on a per click basis. The Company’s Search Agreement with Microsoft provides for Microsoft to be the exclusive algorithmic and paid search services provider on Yahoo! Properties and non-exclusive provider of such services on Affiliate sites. In transitioned markets, the Company reports as revenue the 88 percent share of revenue generated from Microsoft’s services on Yahoo! Properties and Affiliate sites, as the Company is not the primary obligor in the arrangement with the advertisers. See Note 18—“Search Agreement with Microsoft Corporation” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. In non-transitioned markets, the Company pays Affiliates TAC for the revenue generated from the search advertisements on the Affiliates’ Websites. The revenue derived from these arrangements is reported on a gross basis including TAC paid to Affiliates, as the Company continues to be the primary obligor to the advertisers. The Company also generates search revenue from a revenue sharing arrangement with Yahoo Japan for search technology and services and records the related revenue as it is earned. Other revenue includes listings-based services revenue, transaction revenue, royalties, and fees revenue. Listings-based services revenue is generated from a variety of consumer and business listings-based services, including classified advertising such as Yahoo! Autos and other services. The Company recognizes listings-based services revenue when the services are performed. Transaction revenue is generated from facilitating commercial transactions through Yahoo! Properties, principally from Yahoo! Small Business, Yahoo! Travel, and Yahoo! Shopping. The Company recognizes transaction revenue when there is evidence that qualifying transactions have occurred. We also receive royalties from joint venture partners that are recognized when earned. Fees revenue consists of revenue generated from a variety of consumer and business fee-based services as well as services for small businesses. The Company recognizes fees revenue when the services are performed. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the related fee is reasonably assured. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include a provision for cancellation, termination, or refunds that would significantly impact revenue recognition. The Company accounts for cash consideration given to customers, for which it does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense. Cash consideration received in an arrangement with a provider may require consideration of classification of amounts received as revenue or a reimbursement of costs incurred. Current deferred revenue is comprised of contractual billings in excess of recognized revenue and payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Long-term deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers for which services will not be delivered within the next 12 months. |
TAC | TAC. TAC consists of payments made to third-party entities that have integrated the Company’s advertising offerings into their Websites or other offerings and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo! Properties. The Company enters into agreements of varying duration that involve TAC. There are generally two economic structures of the Affiliate agreements: fixed payments based on a guaranteed minimum amount of traffic delivered, which often carry reciprocal performance guarantees from the Affiliate; or variable payments based on a percentage of the Company’s revenue or based on a certain metric, such as the number of searches or paid clicks. The Company expenses, as cost of revenue, TAC under two different methods. Agreements with fixed payments are expensed ratably over the term the fixed payment covers. Agreements based on a percentage of revenue, number of searches, or other metrics are expensed based on the volume of the underlying activity or revenue multiplied by the agreed-upon price or rate. |
Product Development | Product Development. Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation related expenses (including stock-based compensation expense) incurred for research and development, the development of, enhancements to, and maintenance and operation of Yahoo! Properties, advertising products, technology platforms, and infrastructure. Depreciation expense, third-party technology and development expense, and other operating costs are also included in product development. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs. Advertising production costs are recorded as expense the first time an advertisement appears. Costs of advertising are recorded as expense as advertising space or airtime is used. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $237 million, $148 million, and $103 million for 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges. The Company has developed and implemented restructuring initiatives to improve efficiencies across the organization, reduce operating expenses, and better align its resources to market conditions. As a result of these plans, the Company has recorded restructuring charges comprised principally of employee severance and associated termination costs related to the reduction of its workforce, office closures, losses on subleases, and contract termination costs. Liabilities for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when management commits to an exit plan. In addition, (i) liabilities associated with exit and disposal activities are measured at fair value; (ii) one-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period; and (iii) costs to terminate a contract before the end of its term are recognized when the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms. In addition, a portion of the Company’s restructuring costs related to international employees whose termination benefits are recognized when the amount of such termination benefits becomes estimable and payment is probable. These restructuring initiatives require management to make estimates in several areas including: (i) expenses for severance and other employee separation costs; (ii) realizable values of assets made redundant, obsolete, or excessive; and (iii) the ability to generate sublease income and to terminate lease obligations at the estimated amounts. |
Stock-Based Compensation Expense | Stock-Based Compensation Expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and therefore only recognizes compensation costs for those shares expected to vest over the service period of the award. Stock-based awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of these awards; the Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, generally one to four years. Calculating stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock options, stock price volatility, and the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of stock awards. The Company estimates the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise patterns, which the Company believes are representative of future behavior. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock on the date of grant based on the implied volatility of publicly traded options on its common stock, with a term of one year or greater. The Company believes that implied volatility calculated based on actively traded options on its common stock is a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than historical volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected pre-vesting award forfeiture rate, as well as the probability that performance conditions that affect the vesting of certain awards will be achieved, and only recognizes expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience of the Company’s stock-based awards that are granted and cancelled before vesting. See Note 13—“Employee Benefits” for additional information. The Company uses the “with and without” approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. When tax deductions from stock-based awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting difference (“shortfall”) is charged first to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the Company’s pool of windfall tax benefits with any remainder recognized in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it had a sufficient windfall pool available through the end of 2012 to absorb any shortfalls. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes, such as the research tax credit, through the consolidated statements of income. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amended guidance, an entity must present information regarding reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. This is required for both annual and interim reporting. The amendment becomes effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2012. This guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it is disclosure-only in nature. |
