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 guide to digital information discovery, focused on informing, connecting, and entertaining users through its search, communications, and digital content products. By creating highly personalized experiences, the Company helps users discover the information that matters most to them around the world—on mobile or desktop. The Company creates value for advertisers with a streamlined, simple advertising technology that leverages Yahoo’s data, content, and technology to connect advertisers with their target audiences. Advertisers can build their businesses through advertising to targeted audiences on the Company’s online properties and services (“Yahoo Properties”) and a distribution network of third party entities (“Affiliates”) who integrate the Company’s advertising offerings into their websites or other offerings (“Affiliate sites”). The Company’s revenue is generated principally from search and display advertising. The Company manages and measures its business geographically, principally in the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and Asia Pacific. Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yahoo! Inc. and its majority-owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries. All 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 the acquisition. 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, originally developed content, acquired content, 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 and equity price risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities (including Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group”) and Hortonworks, Inc. (“Hortonworks”) equity securities, as well as our portfolio of 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 and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments 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 marketable securities, including U.S. and foreign government, agency, municipal and highly rated corporate debt obligations and money market funds.
The fair value of the equity investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks will vary over time and is subject to a variety of risks including: company performance, macro-economic, regulatory, industry, and systemic risks of the equity markets overall. Consequently, the carrying value of the Company’s investment portfolio will vary over time as the value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities fluctuates, including Alibaba Group and Hortonworks changes. 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. The Company’s derivative instruments, including the convertible note hedge transactions, expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that its derivative counterparties become unable to meet their financial obligations under the terms of the agreements. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by limiting its derivative 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—Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information related to the Company’s derivative instruments. The Company also holds warrants in Hortonworks, which expose the Company to variability in fair value based on changes in the stock price and volatility as inputs to the Black-Scholes model. Revenue under the Company’s Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (as amended, “Microsoft Search Agreement”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) represented approximately 35 percent, 35 percent, and 37 percent of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, and no other individual customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the Company’s revenue for 2014, 2015, or 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable balance. Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from subsidiaries or equity method investments where the local currency is the functional currency, from unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, net changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to the Company’s 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 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. The Company records foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized and foreign exchange gains and losses due to re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $15 million and $22 million net losses in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and a $4 million net gain in 2016.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short- and Long-Term Marketable Securities. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds, time deposits, and liquid debt securities of the U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, and high credit-quality corporate issuers which are classified as marketable debt securities and cash equivalents. All investments in debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents. Investments in debt securities with remaining maturities of less than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets, which are available for use to fund current operations. Investments with remaining 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 limited 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 equity securities, including Alibaba Group and Hortonworks, 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. The change in the classification of the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks to available-for-sale marketable securities exposes the Company’s investment portfolio to increased equity price risk. The Company evaluates the marketable equity securities periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment. A decline of fair value below cost basis 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 cost basis. In those instances, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and the cost basis is recognized in earnings. Regardless of the Company’s intent or requirement to sell the marketable equity securities, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary if the Company does not expect to recover the entire cost basis; in those instances, a loss equal to the difference between fair value and the cost basis of the marketable equity security is recognized in earnings. 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 (expense), net. The Company evaluates its marketable debt 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, 2016. 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, 2014, 2015, and 2016, gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable 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. Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, to mitigate certain foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges, on an after-tax basis, a portion of its net investment in Yahoo Japan Corporation (“Yahoo Japan”). The Company has designated these foreign currency forward contracts as net investment hedges. The effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any ineffective portion is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company expects the net investment hedges to be effective, on an after-tax basis, and 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 (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gains or losses on these forward contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and reclassified into revenue in the consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged revenue is recognized. If the cash flow hedges were to become ineffective, the ineffective portion would be immediately recorded in other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company hedges certain of its net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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. See Note 9—“Foreign Currency 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 20 to 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 $85 million, $31 million, and $25 million during 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage through the development stage. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic reviews could result in a change in estimated useful lives and therefore amortization expense in future periods. During 2014, 2015, and 2016, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $161 million, $144 million, and $85 million, respectively. Capitalized software and labor costs are included in property and equipment, net. Included in the capitalized amounts above are $12 million, $5 million, and $4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. 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 more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company’s reporting units are one level below the operating segments level. The reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The estimated fair values of the reporting units are determined using either the market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The income approach uses expected future operating results and failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated 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. The implied fair value is calculated by allocating all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied estimated fair value. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2016. See Note 5—“Goodwill” for results of the goodwill impairment test. Intangible Assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over one to seven years as the pattern of use is ratable. 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. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that an intangible asset with an indefinite life is more likely than not impaired, a quantitative test comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible asset with its carrying amount is performed. The Company estimates the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets using an income approach. Measurement of any impairment losses on both definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets are based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. See Note 6—“Intangible Assets, Net” for additional information. Originally Developed Content and Acquired Content. Originally developed content and acquired content are both carried at cost. Originally developed content is amortized based on the expected pattern of viewing. Acquired content is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of each program’s contractual window of availability or estimated period of use, beginning with the month of first availability. Marketing and general and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.
For originally developed content, the Company performs regular recoverability assessments on a program-by-program basis. If there are any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the Company should assess whether the fair value of originally developed content is less than its unamortized costs, the Company performs a fair value analysis using an expected cash flow approach. The amount by which the unamortized costs of the originally developed content exceed estimated fair value is charged to expense as an asset impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $16 million related to originally developed content. For acquired content, the Company compares the net realizable value on a program-by-program basis with the unamortized cost. The amount by which the unamortized costs of the acquired content exceed net realizable value is charged to expense as an asset impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $28 million related to acquired content, primarily driven by a reduction of forecasted revenues to be generated from advertising on Yahoo Properties. 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 in the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in privately held equity interests in which the Company cannot exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. 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. Leasing. The Company leases office space and data centers under operating leases and certain data center equipment under capital lease agreements with original lease periods up to 15 years. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company expensed $5 million, $4 million, and $3 million of interest related to capital leases, respectively, which approximated the cash payments made for interest. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had net capital lease obligations included in other short-term and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of $33 million and $23 million, respectively. Certain of the operating 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 that the Company has the right to control the asset to begin rent expense. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the period of straight-line recognition of rent expense. The Company establishes assets and liabilities for the estimated construction costs incurred under build-to-suit lease arrangements to the extent the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements or take construction risk prior to commencement of a lease. Upon the right to control the facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company assesses whether these arrangements qualify for sales recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance. If the Company continues to be the deemed owner, the facilities are accounted for as finance leases. 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 liabilities for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These liabilities 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 liabilities when new information becomes available, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, developments in case law or interactions with the tax authorities. 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 changes to liabilities for tax-related uncertainties that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $90 million, $3 billion in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Income taxes refund received, net of payments made, was $151 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest paid was not material in any of the years presented. See Note 16—“Income Taxes” for additional information. Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generated from offerings, which include clicks on text-based links to advertisers’ websites that appear primarily on search results pages (“search advertising”), the display of graphical, non-graphical, and video advertisements (“display advertising”), and other sources. Search Revenue. Search revenue is generated from mobile and desktop clicks on text-based links to advertisers’ websites that appear primarily on search results pages (“search advertising”). 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 an end-user clicks on a sponsored listing on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites for which an advertiser pays on a per click basis. The Company also sells search traffic to certain customers where it does not have a direct relationship with the advertiser, in which case revenue is also recognized based on Paid Clicks. In the Microsoft Search Agreement, the Company agreed to request paid search results from Microsoft for 51 percent of search queries originating from desktop computers accessing Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites (the “Volume Commitment”). There is no such Volume Commitment for traffic generated on mobile devices. On April 15, 2015, the Company and Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (“Microsoft Search Agreement”). Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company completed the transition of its exclusive sales responsibilities to Microsoft for Microsoft’s paid search services to premium advertisers in the United States, Canada, and Europe on April 1, 2016 and in its remaining markets (other than Taiwan and Hong Kong) on June 1, 2016. Following the transition in each respective market, Yahoo is considered the principal in the sale of traffic to Microsoft and other customers because Yahoo is the primary obligor in its arrangements with Microsoft and has discretion in how search queries from Affiliate sites will be fulfilled and monetized. As a result, amounts paid to Affiliates under the Microsoft Search Agreement in the transitioned markets are recorded as cost of revenue—TAC rather than as a reduction to revenue, resulting in revenue from the Microsoft Search Agreement being reported on a gross rather than net basis. Effective June 3, 2016, the Company and Microsoft further amended the Microsoft Search Agreement to provide that sales responsibilities for premium advertisers in Taiwan and Hong Kong will not be transitioned. TAC in those markets will continue to be reported as a reduction to revenue. The table below presents how the Company accounted for amounts paid to Affiliates related to the Microsoft Search Agreement in transitioned markets, and shows the impact of the implementation of the Eleventh Amendment in transitioned markets (in thousands):
See Note 19—“Microsoft Search Agreement” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. Prior to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company was entitled to receive a percentage of the revenue (the “Revenue Share Rate”) generated from Microsoft’s services on Yahoo Properties and on Affiliate sites after deduction of the Affiliate sites’ share of revenue and certain Microsoft costs. The Revenue Share Rate was 88 percent for the first five years of the Microsoft Search Agreement and then increased to 90 percent on February 23, 2015. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Revenue Share Rate increased to 93 percent, but Microsoft now receives its 7 percent revenue share before deduction of the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. The Company is responsible for paying the Affiliate for the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. The Company also recognizes search revenue generated from mobile and desktop ads served through Yahoo Gemini (Yahoo’s unified marketplace for search and native advertising on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites). The Company is considered the primary obligor to the advertisers who are the customers of the search advertising service. Accordingly, the search revenue generated from mobile and desktop ads served through Yahoo Gemini that involve traffic supplied by Affiliates is reported gross of the traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) paid to Affiliates (reported as cost of revenue—TAC) as the Company performs the search service for advertisers. In October 2015, Yahoo reached an agreement with Google that provides Yahoo with additional flexibility to choose among suppliers of search results and ads. Google’s offerings complement the search services provided by Microsoft and Yahoo Gemini. Yahoo is considered the principal in the sale of traffic to Google because Yahoo is the primary obligor in its arrangement with Google and has discretion in how search queries from Affiliate sites will be fulfilled and monetized. As a result, amounts paid to Affiliates under the Google agreement are recorded as cost of revenue—TAC. Additionally, the Company generates search revenue from a revenue sharing arrangement with Yahoo Japan for search technology and services and records the related revenue as reported. Display Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from display advertising on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites as impressions of or clicks on display advertisements, including native ads, are delivered. Impressions are delivered when a sold advertisement appears in pages viewed by users. Clicks are delivered when a user clicks on an advertisement. Arrangements for these services generally have terms of up to one year. For display advertising on Affiliate sites, the Company pays Affiliates from the revenue generated from the display of these advertisements on the Affiliate sites. Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) are payments made to Affiliates 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 (reported as cost of revenue—TAC) when 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 which are separate units of accounting. 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. Other Revenue. Other revenue includes listings-based services revenue, e-commerce transaction revenue, royalties, patent licenses 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 Local 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. The Company also receives royalties from Yahoo Japan which are recognized when earned. Alibaba Group’s obligation to make royalty payments under the Technology and Intellectual Property License Agreement (the “TIPLA”) ceased on September 24, 2014 as a result of the Alibaba Group’s initial public offering (the “Alibaba Group IPO”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and the Company’s recognition of the remaining TIPLA deferred revenue was completed on September 18, 2015. See Note 8—“Investments in Equity Interests Accounted for Using the Equity Method of Accounting” for additional information on the revenue recognized related to the TIPLA. 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 and cannot reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction to revenue. 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 for which revenue will not be earned within the next 12 months.
Cost of revenue—TAC. TAC consists of payments made to Affiliates and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo Properties. TAC is either recorded as a reduction of revenue or as cost of revenue—TAC. TAC related to the Microsoft Search Agreement was recorded as a reduction to revenue for reporting periods through March 31, 2016. Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, TAC related to the Microsoft Search Agreement is recorded as cost of revenue—TAC in markets that have completed the transition of exclusive sales responsibilities to Microsoft for paid search services to premium advertisers pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment as described above. See Note 19—“Microsoft Search Agreement” for additional information. TAC recorded as cost of revenue—TAC also relates to the Company’s other offerings. The Company enters into Affiliate agreements of varying duration that involve TAC. There are generally two economic structures of the Affiliate agreements: fixed payments with or without a guaranteed minimum amount of traffic delivered 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 TAC under two different methods. Agreements with fixed payments are expensed ratably over the term the fixed payment covers or as the traffic is delivered. 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. The Company also has an agreement to compensate a third party, Mozilla Corporation (“Mozilla”), to make the Company the default search provider on certain of Mozilla’s products in the United States. The Company records these payments as cost of revenue—TAC. Cost of revenue—other. Cost of revenue-other consists of bandwidth costs, stock-based compensation, content, and other expenses associated with the production and usage of Yahoo Properties, including expense and amortization of developed technology and patents. Cost of revenue—other also includes costs for Yahoo’s technology platforms and infrastructure, including depreciation expense of facilities and other operating costs, directly related to revenue generating activities. Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of customer, affiliate, and advertiser-related relationships and tradenames, trademarks and domain names are classified within amortization of intangibles. Amortization of developed technology and patents is included in cost of revenue—other. 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. 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 $142 million, $184 million, and $135 million for 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Restructuring Charges. The Company has developed and implemented restructuring initiatives to improve efficiencies across the organization, reduce its cost structure, and/or better align its resources with the Company’s product strategy. 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, the consolidation of certain real estate facilities and data centers, losses on subleases, and contract termination costs. The Company’s restructuring plans include one-time termination benefits as well as certain contractual termination benefits or employee terminations under ongoing benefit arrangements. One-time termination benefits are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the approved plan of termination has been communicated to employees, unless employees must provide future service, in which case the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Ongoing termination benefits arrangements are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the amount of such benefits becomes estimable and payment is probable. Contract termination costs are recognized at estimated fair value when the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms. 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 14—“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 recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital only 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 determined that it had a sufficient windfall pool available through the end of 2016 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 operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Accordingly, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This conclusion impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard regarding the identification of performance obligations and accounting for the license of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to make the guidance more operable and lead to more consistent application. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue recognition standard. The standard is required to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected the transition method. The Company will adopt the new revenue standards in its first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management is required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s disclosures in the footnotes to its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The new guidance on the classification and measurement will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on the consolidated financial statements and currently anticipates the new guidance would significantly impact its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive Income as the Company’s marketable equity securities, primarily the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks, are currently 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.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements given the Company has a significant number of leases. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Contingent put and call options in debt instruments, a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force,” which simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options. The new guidance clarifies that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. A contingent put or call option embedded in a debt instrument would be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis to all existing and future debt instruments. An entity will be able to elect the fair value option at transition for the entire debt instrument, including its embedded features, but will not be able to unwind a previously-elected fair value option. The Company is not early adopting this standard and will consider the guidance for future transactions once it is effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting,” which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment in order to reduce recognition and presentation complexity in financial reporting. Instead, the new guidance requires equity method of accounting to be applied prospectively from the date significant influence is obtained. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance is required to be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting after the effective date. The Company is not early adopting this standard and will consider the guidance for future transactions once it is effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” as part of its simplification initiative, which involves several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax effects, statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-09, stock based compensation excess benefits (if any) will be recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company will record the cumulative tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable. This cumulative impact is expected to increase retained earnings by approximately $100 million. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which introduces new guidance for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and net investments in leases. The new guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires the entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on an available-for-sale debt security is a credit loss. The standard also indicates that entities may not use the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.” The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory” which amends the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs. For intra-entity transfers of inventory, the income tax effects will continue to be deferred until the inventory has been sold to a third party. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash” which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included within the cash and cash equivalents balances when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” which eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The ASU also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Marketable Securities, Investments and Fair Value Disclosures | Note 2 Marketable Securities, Investments and Fair Value Disclosures
The following tables summarize the available-for-sale securities (in thousands):
Short-term, highly liquid investments of $667 million and $415 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, 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 as the carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were not material for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. The remaining contractual maturities of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were as follows (in thousands):
The following tables show all available-for-sale marketable debt securities 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 includes equity securities of Alibaba Group and Hortonworks, as well as liquid high-quality fixed income debt securities including government, agency and corporate debt, money market funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and time deposits held with financial institutions. The fair value of any debt or equity security will vary over time and is subject to a variety of market risks including: macro-economic, regulatory, industry, company performance, and systemic risks of the equity markets overall. Consequently, the carrying value of the Company’s investment portfolio will vary over time as the value of the various marketable securities changes. Investments in instruments that earn a fixed rate or a floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair 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 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. Available-for-sale marketable debt securities are reviewed periodically to identify possible other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has no current requirement or intent to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position. The Company expects to recover up to (or beyond) the initial cost of investment for securities held.
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, 2015 (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, 2016 (in thousands):
The amount of cash included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 was $965 million and $705 million, respectively. The fair values of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets and liabilities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are obtained using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rates and yield curves). The Company utilizes a pricing service to assist in obtaining fair value pricing for the marketable debt securities. The fair value for the Company’s Level 3 financial asset was obtained using a Black-Scholes model.
Activity between Levels of the Fair Value Hierarchy During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company did not make any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 assets or liabilities. Hortonworks Prior to the December 12, 2014 initial public offering of Hortonworks, the Company held an approximate 16 percent interest in Hortonworks with an investment balance of $26 million, which was accounted for as a cost method investment. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Company owns 3.8 million unregistered shares. These shares were subject to a 6-month lock-up period which expired during 2015. These shares are accounted for as an available-for-sale security and had a fair value of $84 million and $32 million as of December 2015 and 2016, respectively. The Company also holds warrants that vested upon the initial public offering of Hortonworks, which entitle the Company to purchase an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Hortonworks common stock upon exercise of the warrants. The Company holds 6.5 million preferred warrants that are exercisable for 3.25 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, as well as 0.5 million common warrants that are exercisable for 0.5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.46 per share. These warrants had a fair value of $79 million and $29 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a gain of $57 million upon the initial public offering of Hortonworks through other comprehensive income on its consolidated balance sheet and a $41 million gain related to the mark to market of the warrants as of December 31, 2014, which was included within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of $19 million related to the mark to market of the respective warrants as of December 31, 2015, which was included within other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a loss of $50 million related to the mark to market of the respective warrants as of December 31, 2016, which was included within other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Hortonworks warrants are recorded through other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Convertible Senior Notes. In 2013, the Company issued $1.4375 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes are carried at their original issuance value, net of unamortized debt discount, and are not marked to market each period. The approximate estimated fair value of the Notes as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 was $1.3 billion. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined on the basis of quoted market prices observable in the market and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 11—“Convertible Notes” for additional information related to the Notes. Goodwill and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets. The inputs used to measure the estimated fair value of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets are classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs using company-specific information. The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets is discussed in Note 5—“Goodwill” and Note 6—“Intangible Assets, Net”. Other Investments. As of both December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company held approximately $83 million of investments in equity securities of privately-held companies that are accounted for using the cost method. These investments are included within other long-term assets and investments on the consolidated balance sheets. Such investments are reviewed periodically for impairment. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 4 Acquisitions and Dispositions
The following table summarizes acquisitions (including business combinations and asset acquisitions) completed during the three years ended December 31, 2016 (in millions):
At the completion date of each acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill where the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The majority of the goodwill originating from these acquisitions was subsequently impaired in the fourth quarter of 2015. See Note 5—“Goodwill” for results of the goodwill impairment test. Transactions completed in 2014 Flurry. On August 25, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Flurry, Inc. (“Flurry”), a mobile data analytics company that optimizes mobile experiences for developers, marketers, and users. The combined scale of Yahoo and Flurry created more personalized and inspiring app experiences for users and enabled more effective mobile advertising solutions for brands seeking to reach their audiences and gain cross-device insights.
The total purchase price of approximately $270 million consisted of cash consideration. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the equity interests (including all outstanding vested options) of Flurry. Outstanding Flurry unvested options were assumed and converted into equivalent awards for Yahoo common stock valued at $4 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the options vest over periods of up to four years from the date of the acquisition. Separately, in connection with the acquisition, the Company issued restricted stock units valued at $23 million, which are being recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the restricted stock units vest over four years from the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values was as follows (in thousands):
The amortizable intangible assets have useful lives not exceeding five years and a weighted average useful life of five years. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, as a result of the allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of $194 million in connection with this transaction. Goodwill represented the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and was not deductible for tax purposes. BrightRoll. On December 12, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of BrightRoll, Inc. (“BrightRoll”), a leading programmatic video advertising platform. The transaction combined Yahoo’s premium-desktop and mobile video advertising inventory with BrightRoll’s programmatic video platform and publisher relationships to bring substantial value to advertisers on both platforms. The purchase price of $581 million exceeded the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill of $417 million in connection with this transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the equity interests (including all outstanding vested options) in BrightRoll and BrightRoll stockholders and vested option holders were paid in cash. Outstanding BrightRoll unvested options were assumed and converted into equivalent awards for Yahoo common stock valued at $25 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the options vest over periods of up to four years from the date of the acquisition. Separately, in connection with the acquisition, the Company issued restricted stock units to employees valued at $78 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the restricted stock units vest over four years from the date of the acquisition and relate to continuing employment. In addition, the transaction resulted in cash consideration of $54 million to be paid to BrightRoll’s founder over three years also provided that he remains an employee of the Company (or a successor company). Such cash payments are being recognized as compensation expense over the three-year service period from the date of the acquisition. The total purchase price of approximately $581 million consisted mainly of cash consideration. The allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values was as follows (in thousands):
The amortizable intangible assets have useful lives not exceeding seven years and a weighted average useful life of five years. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, as a result of the allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of $417 million in connection with this transaction. Goodwill represented the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and was not deductible for tax purposes. Other Acquisitions—Business Combinations. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired nine other companies, all of which were accounted for as business combinations. The total purchase price for these acquisitions was $66 million less cash acquired of $4 million, which resulted in a net cash outlay of $62 million. The purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values was $39 million allocated to goodwill, $18 million to amortizable intangible assets, $4 million to cash acquired, $10 million to other tangible assets, and $5 million to assumed liabilities. Transactions completed in 2015 Polyvore. On September 2, 2015, the Company acquired Polyvore, Inc. (“Polyvore”), a social commerce website that lets users across the globe discover and shop for their favorite products in fashion, beauty and home décor. The total purchase price of approximately $161 million consisted of cash consideration. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the equity interests (including all outstanding vested options) of Polyvore. Outstanding Polyvore unvested options were assumed and converted into equivalent awards for Yahoo common stock valued at $7 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the options vest over periods of up to four years from the date of the acquisition.
Separately, in connection with the acquisition, the Company is also recognizing stock-based compensation expense of $15 million over a period of four years from the date of the acquisition. This amount is comprised of Yahoo common stock issued to the founders (which had a fair value of $15 million at the acquisition date). The Yahoo common stock held in escrow was issued to the founders, but is subject to forfeiture and will be released over four years from the date of the acquisition provided they remain employees of the Company (or a successor company). The allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values was as follows (in thousands):
The amortizable intangible assets have useful lives not exceeding five years and a weighted average useful life of three years. The purchase price of $161 million exceeded the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, as a result of the allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of $131 million in connection with this transaction. Goodwill represented the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and is not deductible for tax purposes. The entire goodwill amount was recorded in the Americas segment. Other Acquisitions—During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired one other company which was accounted for as a business combination. The total purchase price for this acquisition was $23 million. The purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values was as follows: $5 million to amortizable intangibles; $4 million to net liabilities assumed; and the remainder of $22 million to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and is not deductible for tax purposes. The entire goodwill amount was recorded in the EMEA segment. The Company’s business combinations completed during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, and therefore proforma disclosures have not been presented. The Company did not make any acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2016. Patent Sale and License Agreement During 2014, the Company entered into a patent sale and license agreement for total cash consideration of $460 million. The total consideration was allocated based on the estimated relative fair value of each of the elements of the agreement: $61 million was allocated to the sale of patents (“Sold Patents”), $135 million to the license to existing patents (“Existing Patents”) and $264 million to the license of patents developed or acquired in the five years following the date the Company entered into the agreement (“Capture Period Patents”). The Company recorded $61 million as a gain on the Sold Patents during 2014. The amounts allocated to the license of the Existing Patents are being recorded as revenue over the four-year payment period under the license when payments are due. The amounts allocated to the Capture Period Patents are being recorded as revenue over the five-year capture period. The Company recognized $43 million, $86 million, and $86 million in revenue related to the Existing Patents and the Capture Period Patents during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Patent Sale Agreements During 2014, the Company entered into patent sale agreements with a wholly-owned affiliate of Alibaba Group pursuant to which the Company sold certain patents for aggregate consideration of $23.5 million. The gain on sale of these patents are recorded as a part of gain on sale of patents in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2014, the Company entered into a patent sale agreement with Yahoo Japan pursuant to which the Company sold certain patents for aggregate consideration of $18 million. The gain on sale of these patents of $12 million is recorded as a part of gain on sale of patents in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2015 and 2016, the Company sold certain patents and recorded a gain on sale of patents of approximately $11 million and $2 million, respectively. Sale of Santa Clara Property During 2016, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell certain property located in Santa Clara, California. The total carrying value of the property assets was $126 million, which mostly pertained to the land, and was reported within the Americas segment. The decision to sell this property was largely based upon a general lack of operational need for the land and recent improvements in market conditions for commercial real estate in the area. The sale under the purchase agreement was finalized on June 16, 2016 for total proceeds of $246 million, net of closing costs of $4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a gain of $120 million, net of closing costs, on the sale of the property assets which is included in gain on sale of patents and land in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Pending Sale of the Operating Business to Verizon Communications Inc. On July 23, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Original Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell, and Verizon has agreed to purchase (the “Sale”), all of the outstanding shares of Yahoo Holdings, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Yahoo Holdings”) (and prior to the sale of Yahoo Holdings to cause Yahoo Holdings to sell to a foreign subsidiary of Verizon all of the equity interests in a foreign subsidiary of Yahoo Holdings that will hold certain foreign subsidiaries relating to the Company’s operating business), which, immediately prior to the consummation of the Sale, will own the Company’s operating business. Under the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Company by Verizon in connection with the Sale was $4,825,800,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Original Stock Purchase Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the “Original Reorganization Agreement”) with Yahoo Holdings, pursuant to which the Company will transfer to Yahoo Holdings prior to the consummation of the Sale all of its assets and liabilities relating to its operating business, other than specified excluded assets and retained liabilities (the “Reorganization”). On February 20, 2017, the Company and Verizon entered into an Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement amending the Original Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment” and, together with the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Amended Stock Purchase Agreement”), and, concurrently with the execution of the SPA Amendment, the Company and Yahoo Holdings entered into an Amendment to Reorganization Agreement amending the Original Reorganization Agreement (the “RA Amendment”). Additionally, concurrently with the execution of the SPA Amendment and the RA Amendment, the Company, Yahoo Holdings, and Verizon entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement and Release Agreement”). The SPA Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the consideration to be paid by Verizon to the Company in connection with the Sale by $350,000,000 to $4,475,800,000, (ii) provided that certain data security incidents to which the Company has been subject will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether certain closing conditions have been satisfied and in determining whether a “Business Material Adverse Effect” has occurred, and (iii) provided that the date after which each of Yahoo and Verizon may terminate the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement if the Closing (as defined in the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement) has not occurred has been extended to July 24, 2017. The RA Amendment provides, among other things, that the Company and Verizon will each be responsible for 50 percent of certain post-closing cash liabilities related to certain data security incidents and other data breaches incurred by the Company. Under the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement, among other things, Verizon released certain claims, subject to certain exceptions, it (and its affiliates and representatives) may have against the Company (or its affiliates and representatives) relating to certain data security incidents and other data breaches incurred by the Company. Upon completion of the Sale, Verizon will also receive for its benefit and that of its current and certain of its future affiliates, a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to certain intellectual property not core to the operating business held by Excalibur IP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Excalibur”), that is not being transferred to Yahoo Holdings with the operating business. The excluded assets include the Company’s cash and marketable securities as of the closing of the Sale, the Company’s shares in Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan, certain other minority equity investments, and all of the equity in Excalibur. The retained liabilities will include the Notes, securityholder litigation, certain director and officer indemnification obligations, and, pursuant to the RA Amendment, 50 percent of certain post-closing cash liabilities related to certain data security incidents and other data breaches incurred by the Company. Following the closing of the Sale, the excluded assets and retained liabilities will remain in the Company which will be renamed Altaba Inc. and will become an independent, publicly traded, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The closing of the Sale is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Sale by the Company’s stockholders, the closing of the Reorganization, and certain other customary closing conditions. |

Goodwill | Note 5 Goodwill
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands):
Goodwill Impairment Testing Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually (as of October 31) at the reporting unit level or whenever the Company identifies certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, regulatory changes, loss of key personnel and reporting unit and macro-economic factors such as deterioration in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, or other developments in equity and credit markets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below the Company’s operating segments. The Company identified U.S. & Canada, Latin America, and Tumblr as the reporting units below the Americas operating segment; EMEA is the reporting unit as well as the operating segment; and Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia & New Zealand, India & Southeast Asia as the reporting units below the Asia Pacific operating segment. These operating segments are the same as the Company’s reportable segments. To test for impairment, the Company uses the two-step quantitative test. Step One The first step of the quantitative test involves comparing the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values, including goodwill.
To estimate fair value, the company uses the market approach, income approach, or a combination of the two. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes publicly-traded comparable company information to determine revenue and earnings multiples that are used to value the Company’s reporting units. 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, reflecting the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. The Company bases cash flow projections for each reporting unit using a forecast of cash flows and a terminal value based on the Perpetuity Growth Model. Step Two For any reporting units, where the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, as determined in step one, the Company performs step two to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step of the quantitative test is performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value. The implied fair value is calculated by allocating all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. 2016 Impairment Testing Interim Test. After recording the goodwill impairment charge for Tumblr during the fourth quarter of 2015, the fair value of the Tumblr reporting unit approximated its carrying value. As such, any significant unfavorable changes in the forecast would result in the fair value being less than the carrying value. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company determined that there were indicators present to suggest that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Tumblr reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. The significant changes for the Tumblr reporting unit subsequent to the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 31, 2015 included a decline in the 2016 and beyond forecasted revenue, operating income and cash flows. To test the Tumblr reporting unit for impairment, the Company used the two-step quantitative test. Consistent with methodology used for the prior year’s annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company estimated the fair value of the Tumblr reporting unit using an income approach which was deemed to be the most indicative of fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the Tumblr reporting unit discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, reflecting the overall level of inherent risk of the Tumblr reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. The Company based its cash flow projections for the Tumblr reporting unit using a forecast of cash flows and a terminal value based on the Perpetuity Growth Model. The forecast and related assumptions were derived from an updated financial forecast prepared during the second quarter of 2016. As a result of the analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Tumblr reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. The second step of the quantitative test was performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the Tumblr reporting unit to its implied fair value. The step two quantitative test for the Tumblr reporting unit resulted in an impairment for the Tumblr reporting unit, and the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $395 million during the second quarter of 2016. Annual Test. As of October 31, 2016, the Company conducted its annual impairment test and no additional impairment was identified. The remaining goodwill related to the Tumblr reporting unit as of December 31, 2016 was $124 million, which is included in the Americas operating segment. As of December 31, 2016, there was also goodwill remaining for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia & New Zealand reporting units, which are included in the Asia Pacific operating segment. 2015 Impairment Testing In 2015, the estimated fair values of the reporting units for all reporting units identified, except for Tumblr and Latin America, were estimated using a combination of a market approach and an income approach, giving equal weighting to each. This combination is deemed to be the most indicative of the reporting units’ estimated fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants and is consistent with the methodology used for the goodwill impairment test in prior years. For the Tumblr reporting unit, the fair value was estimated using an income approach which was deemed to be the most indicative of fair value in an orderly transaction between market participants. For the Latin America reporting unit, the fair value was estimated using the market approach as the income approach yielded negative cash flows and was not deemed to be comparable. The forecast and related assumptions were derived from the most recent annual financial forecast for which the planning process commenced in the fourth quarter of 2015. The estimated fair values of the Company’s Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia & New Zealand reporting units exceeded their estimated carrying values and therefore goodwill in those reporting units was not impaired. In 2015, the carrying value exceeded the fair value for the following reporting units: U.S. & Canada, Europe, Tumblr and Latin America. The Company completed an assessment of the implied fair value of these reporting units, which resulted in an impairment of all goodwill for the U.S. & Canada, Europe, and Latin America reporting units and a partial impairment for the Tumblr reporting unit. The Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $3,692 million, $531 million, $230 million and $8 million, associated with the U.S. & Canada, Europe, Tumblr, and Latin America reporting units, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The impairments were a result of a combination of factors, including a sustained decrease in the Company’s market capitalization in fourth quarter of 2015 and lower estimated projected revenue and profitability in the near term. The lower estimated projected cash flows and higher discount rates were used to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit affected by such changes. 2014 Impairment Testing In 2014, as a result of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Middle East reporting unit, included in the EMEA reportable segment, and the carrying value of the India & Southeast Asia reporting unit included in the Asia Pacific reportable segment both exceeded their respective fair values. As required by the second step of the impairment test, the Company performed an allocation of the fair value to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values, to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge related to the Middle East and India & Southeast Asia reporting units of $79 million and $9 million, respectively, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 for the difference between the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit and its implied fair value with no goodwill remaining in either reporting unit. The impairment resulted from a decline in business conditions in the Middle East and India & Southeast Asia during the latter half of 2014. |

Intangible Assets, Net | Note 6 Intangible Assets, Net
The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets, net (in thousands):
Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis, as follows:
The Company recognized amortization expense for intangible assets of $132 million, $137 million, and $100 million for 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, including $65 million, $58 million, and $42 million, respectively, included in cost of revenue-other. Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding years is as follows: 2017: $76 million; 2018: $55 million; 2019: $30 million; and 2020 and after: $1 million. Intangibles Impairment Testing The Company reviews identifiable 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. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that an intangible asset with an indefinite life is more likely than not impaired, a quantitative test comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible asset with its carrying amount is performed. The Company estimates the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets using an income approach. Measurement of any impairment losses on both definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets are based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. As a result of the impairment testing performed in the fourth quarter of 2015, the entire carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets were fully impaired as of December 31, 2015, and the Company did not purchase any indefinite-lived intangibles during 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company only had definite-lived intangible assets. 2016 Testing During the second quarter of 2016, the Company reviewed its Tumblr asset group for impairment as there were events and changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of the long-lived assets may not be recoverable. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative test comparing the fair value of the Tumblr long-lived assets with the carrying amounts and recorded a partial impairment charge of $87 million associated with its definite-lived intangible assets, which were included within customer, affiliate, and advertiser related relationships and tradenames, trademarks, and domain names in the Americas segment. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reviewed its definite-lived intangible assets for impairment. No impairment was identified for definite-lived intangibles. 2015 Testing In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company reviewed both definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. No impairment was identified for definite-lived intangibles. For indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company performed a quantitative test comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets with their carrying amount and recorded an impairment charge of $15 million related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets in the EMEA segment. As a result, the entire carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was fully impaired as of December 31, 2015. |

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Yahoo! Inc. Common Stockholders Per Share | Note 7 Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Yahoo! Inc. Common Stockholders Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Yahoo! Inc. 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 units granted under the Directors’ Stock Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”)). Diluted net income (loss) 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 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The Company calculates potential tax windfalls and shortfalls by including the impact of deferred tax assets. The Company takes into account the effect on consolidated net income (loss) per share of dilutive securities of entities in which the Company holds equity interests that are accounted for using the equity method.
For 2014, potentially dilutive securities representing approximately 3 million were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for these periods because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company has the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the Notes. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, upon conversion of the Notes, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amounts of the Notes are considered in diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method. The denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share also does not include any effect from the note hedges. In future periods, the denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share will exclude any effect of the note hedges, if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In the event an actual conversion of any or all of the Notes occurs, the shares that would be delivered to the Company under the note hedges are designed to reduce the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the Notes. See Note 11—”Convertible Notes” for additional information. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Investments in Equity Interests Accounted for Using the Equity Method of Accounting | Note 8 Investments in Equity Interests Accounted for Using the Equity Method of Accounting
The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in equity interests using the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):
Yahoo Japan During April 1996, the Company signed a joint venture agreement with Softbank, as amended in September 1997, which formed Yahoo Japan. Yahoo Japan was formed to establish and manage a local version of Yahoo in Japan. The investment in Yahoo Japan is 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 operations. The Company makes adjustments to the earnings in equity interests line in the consolidated statements of operations for any material differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the standards by which Yahoo Japan’s financial statements are prepared. The fair value of the Company’s ownership interest in the common stock of Yahoo Japan, based on the quoted stock price, was approximately $7.7 billion as of December 31, 2016. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company received cash dividends from Yahoo Japan in the amounts of $84 million, $142 million, and $157 million, net of withholding taxes, respectively, which were recorded as reductions to the Company’s investment in Yahoo Japan. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold data center assets and assigned a data center lease to Yahoo Japan for cash proceeds of $11 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $5 million.
The following tables present summarized financial information derived from Yahoo Japan’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared on the basis of IFRS. The Company has made adjustments to the Yahoo Japan summarized financial information to address differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP that materially impact the summarized financial information below. Any other differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS did not have any material impact on the Yahoo Japan’s summarized financial information presented below (in thousands):
Since acquiring its equity interest in Yahoo Japan, the Company has recorded cumulative earnings in equity interests, net of dividends received and related taxes on dividends, of $3.3 billion, $3.7 billion, and $4 billion as of December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Under technology and trademark license and other commercial arrangements with Yahoo Japan, the Company records revenue from Yahoo Japan based on a percentage of advertising revenue earned by Yahoo Japan. The Company recorded revenue from Yahoo Japan of approximately $253 million, $228 million, and $257 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had net receivable balances from Yahoo Japan of approximately $37 million and $46 million, respectively. Alibaba Group Equity Investment in Alibaba Group. Prior to the closing of the Alibaba Group IPO in September 2014, the Company’s investment in Alibaba Group was accounted for using the equity method, and the total investment, including net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill, was classified as part of investments in equity interests balance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the Alibaba Group IPO, the Company recorded its share of the results of Alibaba Group one quarter in arrears within earnings in equity interests in the consolidated statements of operations, including any related tax impacts related to the earnings in equity interest. Subsequent to the Alibaba Group IPO, the Company reflects the investment in Alibaba Group as an available-for-sale equity security on the consolidated balance sheet and adjusts the investment to fair value each quarterly reporting period with changes in fair value recorded within other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 9 Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts (and previously including option contracts), to mitigate risk associated with adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company records all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with assets included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other long-term assets, and liabilities included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities. The Company’s accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The effective portions of net investment hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (expense) as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in revenue on the consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged revenue is recognized. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges and cash flow hedges are recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For balance sheet hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company has master netting arrangements, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of foreign exchange contracts with the same counterparty, subject to applicable requirements. The Company presents its derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not required to pledge, and is not entitled to receive, cash collateral related to these derivative transactions. Designated as Hedging Instruments Net Investment Hedges. The Company currently hedges, on an after-tax basis, a portion of its net investment in Yahoo Japan with forward contracts to reduce the risk that its investment in Yahoo Japan will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The total of the after-tax net investment hedge was less than the Yahoo Japan investment balance as of both December 31, 2015 and 2016. As such, the net investment hedge was considered to be effective. Cash Flow Hedges. The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of varying maturities through January 31, 2017. The cash flow hedges were considered to be effective as of December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. All of the forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were settled were reclassified to revenue within fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the Company recognized the hedge forecasted revenue related to these contacts as of December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. These trades were de-designated as of December 31, 2016 and all current outstanding cash flow hedges have been reclassified into revenue during 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, the amounts recorded in other income (expense), net as a result of hedge ineffectiveness were not material. Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Balance Sheet Hedges. The Company hedges certain of its net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivative instruments hedge assets and liabilities, including intercompany transactions, which are denominated in foreign currencies. Notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts as of December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016 (in millions) were as follows:
Foreign currency derivative activity for the year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows (in millions):

Convertible Notes | Note 11 Convertible Notes
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $1.4 billion in principal amount of Notes outstanding. In 2013, the Company issued the Notes. The Notes were sold under a purchase agreement, dated November 20, 2013, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”). The Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Under the Indenture, the Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Yahoo, the Notes do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes was issued at par value. The Notes mature on December 1, 2018, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to maturity. However, holders of the Notes may convert them at certain times and upon the occurrence of certain events in the future, as outlined in the indenture governing the Notes. Holders of the Notes who convert in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, may require Yahoo to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid special interest as defined in the Indenture, if any. The Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of Yahoo common stock at an initial conversion rate of 18.7161 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $53.43 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Certain corporate events described in the Indenture may increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their Notes in connection with such corporate event should they occur. Upon conversion of the Notes, holders will receive cash, shares of Yahoo’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at Yahoo’s election. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company would deliver shares of its common stock with respect to the remainder of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount (conversion spread). The conversion spread will be included in the denominator for the computation of diluted net income per common share, using the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2016, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had been met. In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 5.26 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the Note issuance, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the $1.4 billion liability component are being amortized to expense over the term of the Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the $306 million equity component were included with the equity component in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $37 million on a portion of the equity component transaction costs which are deductible for tax purposes. The Notes consist of the following (in thousands):
The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes (in thousands):
The estimated fair value of the Notes, which was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the carrying value of debt instruments (the carrying value excludes the equity component of the Notes classified in equity) were as follows (in thousands):
Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions The Company entered into note hedge transactions with certain option counterparties (the “Counterparties”) to reduce the potential dilution with respect to Yahoo’s common stock upon conversion of the Notes or to offset any cash payment the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes. Separately, the Company also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions with the Counterparties giving them the right to purchase common stock from the Company. The warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect with respect to Yahoo’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of its common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants. The initial strike price of the warrants was $71.24. Counterparties to the warrants may make adjustments to certain terms of the warrants upon the occurrence of specified events, including the announcement of the Stock Purchase Agreement, if the event results in a material change to the trading price of Yahoo’s common stock or the value of the warrants. To date, two Counterparties have given the Company notices of adjustments reducing their warrant exercise prices. The warrants begin to expire in March 2019. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments. The Company leases office space and data centers under operating and capital lease agreements with original lease periods of up to 15 years which expire between 2017 and 2025. Rent expense for all operating leases was approximately $86 million, $77 million, and $60 million for 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Many of the Company’s leases contain one or more of the following options which the Company can exercise at the end of the initial lease term: (i) renewal of the lease for a defined number of years at the then fair market rental rate or at a slight discount to the fair market rental rate; (ii) purchase of the property at the then fair market value; or (iii) right of first offer to lease additional space that becomes available. A summary of gross and net lease commitments as of December 31, 2016 was as follows (in millions):
Affiliate Commitments. The Company is obligated to make payments, which represent TAC, to its Affiliates. As of December 31, 2016, these commitments totaled $925 million, of which $300 million will be payable in 2017, $300 million will be payable in 2018, $300 million will be payable in 2019, and $25 million will be payable in 2020.
Non-cancelable Obligations. The Company is obligated to make payments under various non-cancelable arrangements with vendors and other business partners, principally for content, bandwidth, and marketing arrangements. As of December 31, 2016, these commitments totaled $172 million, of which $86 million will be payable in 2017, $55 million will be payable in 2018, $17 million will be payable in 2019, $4 million will be payable in 2020, $3 million will be payable in 2021, and $7 million will be payable thereafter. Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is committed to make certain payments under various intellectual property arrangements of up to $12 million through 2023. Note Payable Obligations. The Company is obligated to make payments for notes payable related to two buildings in Sunnyvale, California. The estimated timing and amounts of payments totaled $52 million, of which $5 million will be payable each year from 2017 through 2021, and $27 million will be payable thereafter. Standby Letters of Credit. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding potential obligations relating to standby letters of credit of $38 million. Standby letters of credit are financial guarantees provided by third parties for ongoing operating liabilities such as leases, utility bills, taxes, and insurance. If any letter of credit is drawn upon by a beneficiary, the Company is obligated to reimburse the provider of the guarantee. The standby letters of credit generally renew annually. Other Commitments. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, joint ventures and business partners, purchasers of assets or subsidiaries and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by the Company, services to be provided by the Company, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties or, with respect to the sale, lease, or assignment of assets, or the sale of a subsidiary, matters related to the Company’s conduct of the business and tax matters prior to the sale, lease or assignment. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. 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 current and former 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 material liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, 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, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if the Company had such relationships. In addition, the Company identified no variable interests currently held in entities for which it is the primary beneficiary.
Legal Contingencies Patent 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. Stockholder and Securities Matters. On April 22, 2015, a stockholder action captioned Cathy Buch v. David Filo, et al., was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and certain of its current and former directors. The complaint asserts both derivative claims, purportedly on behalf of Yahoo, and class action claims, purportedly on behalf of the plaintiff and all similarly situated stockholders, relating to the termination of, and severance payments made to, the Company’s former chief operating officer, Henrique de Castro. The plaintiff claims that certain current and former board members allegedly violated or acquiesced in the violation of the Company’s Bylaws when Mr. de Castro was terminated without cause, and breached fiduciary duties by allowing Yahoo to make allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the value of his severance. The plaintiff has also asserted claims against Mr. de Castro. The plaintiff seeks to have the full Board reassess the propriety of terminating Mr. de Castro without cause, potentially leading to disgorgement in favor of the Company of the severance paid to Mr. de Castro, an equitable accounting, monetary damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action, which the Court denied in part and granted in part on July 27, 2016. On January 27, 2016, a stockholder action captioned UCFW Local 1500 Pension Fund v. Marissa Mayer, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. On April 29, 2016, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint asserts derivative claims, purportedly on behalf of Yahoo, for violations of the Investment Company Act of 1940, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, violations of Delaware General Corporation Law Section 124, and violations of California Business & Professions Code Section 17200. The amended complaint seeks to rescind Yahoo’s employment contracts with the individual defendants because those defendants allegedly caused Yahoo to illegally operate as an unregistered investment company. The plaintiff seeks disgorgement in favor of Yahoo, rescission, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition, the amended complaint asserts a direct claim against Yahoo for alleged violation of Delaware General Corporation Law Section 124(1), based on the allegation that Yahoo has illegally operated as an unregistered investment company. Pursuant to this claim, the plaintiff seeks injunctive relief preventing Yahoo from entering into any future contracts, including any contracts to sell its assets. On October 19, 2016, the District Court dismissed the amended complaint, with leave to amend. On November 18, 2016, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint seeking substantially the same relief as it did in the amended complaint. On February 10, 2017, the District Court dismissed the second amended complaint with prejudice. On January 24, 2017, a stockholder action captioned Madrack v. Yahoo! Inc., et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its current officers. The plaintiff purports to represent a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock between November 12, 2013 and December 14, 2016. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that the Company’s public disclosures about its business, operations, and compliance policies were materially misleading in light of the Security Incidents discussed under “Security Incidents Contingencies” below. The complaint seeks class certification, damages, interest, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 9, 2017, a stockholder derivative action captioned The LR Trust, et al. v. Marissa Mayer, et al., was filed in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers. The complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose the Security Incidents discussed under “Security Incidents Contingencies” below and caused or allowed the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements in its public filings and other public statements. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, indemnification from the individual defendants, disgorgement of compensation obtained by defendants, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other related equitable and injunctive relief. On February 16, 2017, a stockholder derivative action captioned Summer v. Marissa Mayer, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former directors and officers. On February 17, 2017, a substantially identical stockholder derivative action captioned Bowser v. Marissa Mayer, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the same defendants. The complaints allege that defendants failed to disclose the Security Incidents discussed under “Security Incidents Contingencies” below and caused or allowed the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements in its public filings and other public statements. The complaints assert derivative claims, purportedly on behalf of the Company, for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints seek unspecified damages, to enjoin defendants from proceeding with, consummating, or closing the transactions contemplated by the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement with Verizon, disgorgement of profits and compensation obtained by the defendants, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs, and other related injunctive and equitable forms of relief. On February 20, 2017, a stockholder derivative action captioned Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System v. Eric Brandt, et al., was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery purportedly on behalf of the Company and against certain of its current officers and directors. The complaint asserts derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint alleges the defendants violated their fiduciary duties by, among other things, causing or allowing the Company to issue materially false and misleading public statements and failing to disclose the Security Incidents in the Company’s public disclosures and in representations and warranties provided to Verizon in connection with the Original Stock Purchase Agreement. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, equitable and injunctive relief, and an award to plaintiff of the costs and disbursements of the action, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses. TCPA Litigation Concerning Yahoo Messenger. On March 21, 2014 and April 16, 2014, civil complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by plaintiffs Rachel Johnson and Zenaida Calderin, respectively, against the Company, alleging that the process by which Yahoo Messenger sends a notification SMS message in addition to delivering a user’s instant message to a recipient’s cellular telephone constitutes a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 227. The penalty per violation ranges from $500 to $1,500. The complaints, which were consolidated, seek statutory damages for a purported class of plaintiffs. In January 2016, the District Court denied class certification treatment proposed by plaintiff Calderin, who accepted a $1,500 offer of judgment to resolve her case in its entirety. The District Court certified a class proposed by plaintiff Johnson comprising more than 300,000 potential members. The Company sought permission from the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to appeal the District Court’s certification order, which the Court of Appeals denied. No decision has been made on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims, which the Company is defending vigorously. The Company also previously defended related litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, which denied class certification in September 2015; that case was dismissed with prejudice in March 2016. General. The Company is regularly involved in claims, suits, government investigations, and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of the Company’s business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, privacy, consumer protection, information security, data protection or law enforcement matters, tax matters, labor and employment claims, commercial claims, as well as actions involving content generated by users, stockholder derivative actions, purported class action lawsuits, and other matters. 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, 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, 2016 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, the Company may incur substantial monetary liability, and 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 claims. Security Incidents Contingencies On September 22, 2016, the Company disclosed that a copy of certain user account information for approximately 500 million user accounts was stolen from Yahoo’s network in late 2014 (the “2014 Security Incident”). On December 14, 2016, the Company disclosed that, based on its outside forensic expert’s analysis of data files provided to the Company in November 2016 by law enforcement, the Company believes an unauthorized third party stole data associated with more than one billion user accounts in August 2013 (the “2013 Security Incident”). In November and December 2016, the Company disclosed that based on an investigation by its outside forensic experts, it believes an unauthorized third party accessed the Company’s proprietary code to learn how to forge certain cookies. The outside forensic experts have identified approximately 32 million user accounts for which they believe forged cookies were used or taken in 2015 and 2016 (the “Cookie Forging Activity”). The 2013 Security Incident, the 2014 Security Incident, and the Cookie Forging Activity are collectively referred to herein as the “Security Incidents.” To date, approximately 43 putative consumer class action lawsuits have been filed against the Company in U.S. federal and state courts, and in foreign courts, relating to the Security Incidents. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of users, generally claim to have been harmed by the Company’s alleged actions and/or omissions in connection with the Security Incidents and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages or other related relief. In addition, as described above, one putative stockholder class action has been filed against the Company and certain current officers of the Company and four stockholder derivative actions have been filed purportedly on behalf of the Company against its current and former directors and officers, each asserting claims related to the Security Incidents. Additional lawsuits and claims related to the Security Incidents may be asserted by or on behalf of users, partners, shareholders, or others seeking damages or other related relief. While a loss from these matters is reasonably possible, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses related to these legal proceedings at this time because the legal proceedings remain in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class if certified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Based on current information, the Company does not believe that a loss from these matters is probable and therefore has not recorded an accrual for litigation or other contingencies relating to the Security Incidents. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an accrual for estimated losses at the time or times it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. |

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. In November 2013, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program with an authorized level of $5 billion, which expired in December 2016. In March 2015, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program with an authorized level of $2 billion, all of which was still available as of December 31, 2016. The March 2015 program, according to its terms, will expire in March 2018. Repurchases under the repurchase programs may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including structured and derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not repurchase any of its outstanding shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares of its common stock under its November 2013 program at an average price of $47.65 per share for a total of $204 million. In September and October 2014, the Company entered into two unrelated accelerated share repurchase agreements (“ASR”) with a financial institution to repurchase shares of its common stock. Under the September 2014 agreement, the Company prepaid $1.1 billion and approximately 15 million shares were initially delivered to the Company on September 30, 2014 and are included in treasury stock. Final settlement occurred on October 17, 2014, resulting in a total of approximately 23.5 million shares, inclusive of shares initially delivered, repurchased for $933 million, all of which are included in treasury stock. The Company received a return of cash for the remaining amount not settled in shares of $167 million. Under the October 2014 agreement, the Company prepaid the maximum repurchase amount of $1.0 billion and approximately 15 million shares were initially delivered on October 30, 2014. Final settlement occurred on December 9, 2014, resulting in a total of approximately 16 million shares, inclusive of shares initially delivered, repurchased for $800 million, all of which are included in treasury stock. The Company received a return of cash for the remaining amount not settled in shares of $200 million. Both ASR agreements were entered into pursuant to the Company’s existing share repurchase program. The Company accounted for the September 2014 ASR as two separate transactions: (i) approximately 15 million shares of common stock initially delivered to the Company, and $600 million was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and (ii) the remaining $500 million unsettled portion of the contract was determined to be a forward contract indexed to the Company’s own common stock. The initial delivery of approximately 15 million shares resulted in an immediate reduction, on the delivery date, of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share. The Company has determined that the forward contract, indexed to its common stock, met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification. The Company recorded $600 million as treasury stock and recorded $500 million, the implied value of the forward contract, in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014. As the remainder of the shares were delivered to the Company, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the forward contract was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to treasury stock for the value of the additional shares received, and additional paid-in capital was debited for the cash returned for the remaining amount of shares not settled. During the year ended December 31, 2014, in addition to the repurchase under the ASR’s, the Company repurchased approximately 62 million shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program at an average price of $39.30 per share for a total of approximately $2.4 billion. Retirements. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company retired 94 million shares, resulting in reductions of $94,000 in common stock, $795 million in additional paid-in capital, and $2.9 billion in retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company did not retire any of its remaining treasury stock. |

Employee Benefits | Note 14 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 100 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 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to approximately $19 million, $21 million, and $18 million, respectively. The Company also contributed approximately $16 million, $15 million, and $12 million to its other defined contribution retirement benefit plans outside of the U.S. for 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Stock Plans. The Stock Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, including executive officers, and consultants. The 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 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 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 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 784 million shares, of which 96 million shares were still available for award grant purposes as of December 31, 2016. 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 Stock Plan counted as 1.75 shares against the Stock Plan’s share limit. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued in settlement of “full-value awards” granted on or after June 25, 2014 under the Stock Plan is counted as 2.5 shares against the 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 4 million were still available for award grant purposes as of December 31,2016. 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 their quarterly Board retainer and any cash fees for serving on committees of the Board. Such stock options or restricted stock unit awards granted in lieu of cash fees are fully vested on the grant date. From time to time, the Company also assumes stock-based awards in connection with corporate mergers and acquisitions, which awards become payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company discontinued the offering of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to its employees. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allowed 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. The price of the common stock purchased under the plan was 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. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 stock-based compensation expense related to the activity under the plan was $12 million and $2 million, respectively.
Stock Options. The Company’s Stock Plan, the Directors’ Plan, and stock-based awards assumed through acquisitions (including stock-based commitments related to continued service of acquired employees, such as holdbacks by Yahoo of shares of Yahoo common stock issued to founders of acquired companies in connection with certain of the Company’s acquisitions) are collectively referred to as the “Plans”. Stock option activity under the Company’s Plans for the year ended December 31, 2016 is summarized as follows (in thousands, except years and per share amounts):
The weighted average grant date fair values of all options granted and assumed in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 were $31.31 and $20.31, respectively. The Company did not grant any options in 2016. 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, 2016 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, 2016. The total intrinsic values of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016 were $167 million, $53 million, and $27 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $7 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. Cash received from option exercises and purchases of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $18 million. The total net tax benefit attributable to stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6 million.
The fair value of option grants, including assumed options from acquisitions, is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity under the Plans for the year ended December 31, 2016 is summarized as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
As of December 31, 2016, there was $497 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016 was $415 million, $502 million, and $470 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 14 million shares that were subject to previously granted restricted stock units vested. These vested restricted stock awards were net share settled. The Company withheld 5 million shares based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the vesting date, to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation relating to 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 $209 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 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 2014, 2015, and 2016, $150 million, $58 million, and $18 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. Performance-Based Executive Incentive Equity Awards Performance Options. The financial performance stock options awarded by the Company in November 2012 to Ms. Mayer and Mr. Goldman include multiple performance periods. The number of stock options that ultimately vest for each performance period will range from 0 percent to 100 percent of the target amount for such period stated in each executive’s award agreement based on the Company’s performance relative to goals. The financial performance goals are established at the beginning of each performance period and the portion (or “tranche”) of the award related to each performance period is treated as a separate grant for accounting purposes. In March 2016, the Compensation Committee established performance goals under these stock options for the 2016 performance year. The 2016 financial performance metrics (and their weightings) under the performance stock options are GAAP revenue (one-third), revenue ex-TAC (one-third), and adjusted EBITDA (one-third). The grant date fair value of the 2016 tranche of the November 2012 financial performance stock options was $13 million, and is being recognized over the twelve-month service period. The Company began recording stock-based compensation expense for this tranche in March 2016, when the financial performance goals were established. Performance RSUs. In March 2016, the Compensation Committee approved additional annual financial performance-based RSU awards to Ms. Mayer and other senior officers, and established the 2016 annual performance goals for these awards as well as for the similar performance-based RSUs granted in February 2013, February 2014, and March 2015. The 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 performance-based RSU awards are generally eligible to vest in equal annual target amounts over four years (three years for Ms. Mayer) based on the Company’s attainment of annual financial performance goals as well as the executive’s continued employment through each vesting date. The number of shares that ultimately vest each year will range from 0 percent to 200 percent of the annual target amount, based on the Company’s performance. Annual financial performance metrics and goals are established for these RSU awards at the beginning of each year and the tranche of each RSU award related to that year’s performance goal is treated as a separate annual grant for accounting purposes. The 2016 financial performance metrics (and their weightings) established for the performance RSUs are: GAAP revenue (one-third), revenue ex-TAC (one-third), and adjusted EBITDA (one-third). The grant date fair value of the first tranche of the March 2016 performance RSUs was $10 million, the grant date fair value of the second tranche of the March 2015 performance RSUs was $8 million, the grant date fair value of the third tranche of the February 2014 performance RSUs was $4 million, and the grant date fair value of the fourth tranche of the February 2013 performance RSUs was $8 million. These values are being recognized over the tranches’ twelve-month service periods. The Company began recording stock-based compensation expense for these tranches in March 2016, when the financial performance goals were established. |

Income Taxes | Note 16 Income Taxes
The components of income (loss) before income taxes and earnings in equity interests are as follows (in thousands):
The provision (benefit) for income taxes is composed of the following (in thousands):
The provision (benefit) 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):
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, 2016, the Company’s federal and California net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $172 million and $134 million, respectively. The federal and California 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 California net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company satisfied the $3.3 billion income tax liability related to the sale by Yahoo! Hong Kong Holdings Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, of Alibaba Group ADSs in the Alibaba Group IPO on September 24, 2014. As of December 31, 2016 the Company accrued deferred tax liabilities of $13.6 billion associated with the 384 million ordinary shares of Alibaba Group (“Alibaba Group shares”) retained by the Company. Such deferred tax liabilities are subject to periodic adjustments due to changes in the fair value of the Alibaba Group shares. The Company’s state research tax credit carryforward for income tax purposes is approximately $200 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 $29 million and $36 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 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, 2016 relates to certain foreign and some U.S. states deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. The Company continues to monitor its business strategies, weighing positive and negative evidences in assessing its realization of deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company repatriated cumulative earnings from its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries and recorded a $17 million tax expense (primarily related to $172 million of dividend income recognizable in the U.S. with an associated $67 million U.S. tax credit for foreign income taxes that have been paid on such earnings) related to this repatriation that is included in “effect of non-U.S. operations.” This $17 million tax expense is included as part of the total income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company also intends to repatriate its future earnings from these foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016, the Company does not anticipate a repatriation of its undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $3.3 billion. Those earnings are principally related to its equity method investment in Yahoo Japan. If these earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes. 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 $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2016, of which up to $0.7 billion would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if realized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2014, 2015, and 2016 is as follows (in thousands):
The remaining balances are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):
The Company’s gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 increased by $7 million from the recorded balance as of December 31, 2015 primarily related to transfer prices among entities in different tax jurisdictions. 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 2014, 2015, and 2016, interest and penalties recorded in the consolidated statements of operations were a charge of $83 million, $7 million, and $24 million (including interest paid of $5 million), respectively. The amounts of accrued interest and penalties recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 were approximately $167 million and $186 million, respectively. The Company is in various stages of examination and appeal in connection with its taxes both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. Those audits generally span tax years 2005 through 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s 2011 through 2015 U.S. federal income tax returns are currently under examination. The Company has appealed the proposed California Franchise Tax Board’s adjustments to the 2005 through 2008 returns, but no conclusions have been reached to date. The Company’s 2009 through 2010 California tax returns are currently under examination. The Company’s 2011 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board for California tax purposes. While it is difficult to determine when the examinations will be settled or their final outcomes, certain audits in various jurisdictions are expected to be resolved in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable adverse adjustment to its tax returns and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $20 million in the next twelve months. The Company may have additional tax liabilities in China related to the sale to Alibaba Group of 523 million Alibaba Group shares that took place during the year ended December 31, 2012 and related to the sale of the 140 million Alibaba Group ADSs sold in the Alibaba Group IPO that took place during the year ended December 31, 2014. Any taxes assessed and paid in China are expected to be ultimately offset and recovered in the U.S. through the use of foreign tax credits. Tax authorities from the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo have assessed certain indirect taxes against the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Yahoo! do Brasil Internet Ltda., related to online advertising services. The assessment is for calendar years 2008 through 2012 and as of December 31, 2016 totals approximately $140 million. The Company currently believes the assessment is without merit. The Company believes the risk of loss is remote and has not recorded an accrual for the assessment. |

Microsoft Search Agreement |

Microsoft Search Agreement | Note 19 Microsoft Search Agreement
On December 4, 2009, the Company entered into the Microsoft Search Agreement. On February 18, 2010, the Company received regulatory clearance from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission and on February 23, 2010 the Company commenced implementation of the Microsoft Search Agreement on a market-by-market basis. On April 15, 2015, the Company and Microsoft entered into the Eleventh Amendment, pursuant to which the terms of the Microsoft Search Agreement were amended. Previously under the Microsoft Search Agreement, Microsoft was the exclusive algorithmic and paid search services provider to Yahoo on personal computers for Yahoo Properties and for search services provided by Yahoo to Affiliate sites. Microsoft was the non-exclusive provider on mobile devices. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, Microsoft will provide such services on a non-exclusive basis for Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites on all devices. Commencing on May 1, 2015, Yahoo agreed to the Volume Commitment and displays only Microsoft’s paid search results on such search result pages. Prior to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company was entitled to receive the Revenue Share Rate with respect to revenue generated from paid search results on Yahoo Properties and on Affiliate sites after deduction of the Affiliate sites’ share of revenue and certain Microsoft costs. The Revenue Share Rate was 88 percent for the first five years of the Microsoft Search Agreement and then increased to 90 percent on February 23, 2015. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Revenue Share Rate increased to 93 percent, but Microsoft now receives its 7 percent revenue share before deduction of the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. The Company is responsible for paying the Affiliate for the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. Additionally, pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company has the ability in response to queries on both personal computers and mobile devices to request algorithmic listings only, paid listings only or both algorithmic and paid listings from Microsoft. To the extent the Company requests algorithmic listings only or requests paid listings but elects not to display such paid listings, the Company pays Microsoft serving costs but not a revenue share. In other cases and with respect to the Volume Commitment, the Revenue Share Rate applies. Previously under the Microsoft Search Agreement, Yahoo had sales exclusivity for both the Company’s and Microsoft’s premium advertisers. For reporting periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2015, and March 31, 2016, TAC related to the Company’s Microsoft Search Agreement was recorded as a reduction to revenue. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company completed the transition of its exclusive sales responsibilities to Microsoft for Microsoft’s paid search services to premium advertisers in the United States, Canada, and Europe on April 1, 2016 and in its remaining markets (other than Taiwan and Hong Kong) on June 1, 2016. Following the transition in each respective market, Yahoo is considered the principal in the sale of traffic to Microsoft and other customers because Yahoo is the primary obligor in its arrangements with Microsoft and has discretion in how search queries from Affiliate sites will be fulfilled and monetized. As a result, the amounts paid to Affiliates under the Microsoft Search Agreement in the transitioned markets are recorded as cost of revenue—TAC rather than as a reduction to GAAP revenue, resulting in GAAP revenue from the Microsoft Search Agreement being reported on a gross rather than net basis. Effective June 3, 2016, the Company and Microsoft further amended the Microsoft Search Agreement to provide that sales responsibilities for premium advertisers in Taiwan and Hong Kong will not be transitioned. TAC in those markets will continue to be reported as a reduction to revenue. The term of the Microsoft Search Agreement is 10 years from its commencement date, February 23, 2010, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Microsoft Search Agreement. As of October 1, 2015, either the Company or Microsoft may terminate the Microsoft Search Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to the other party. The Microsoft Search Agreement will remain in effect for four months from the date of the termination notice to provide for a transition period; however, the Company’s Volume Commitment will not apply in the third and fourth months of this transition period. Approximately 35 percent, 35 percent, and 37 percent of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, was attributable to the Microsoft Search Agreement. Commencing in the second quarter of 2016, TAC payments related to the Microsoft Search Agreement for transitioned markets, which previously would have been recorded as a reduction to revenue, began to be recorded as a cost of revenue due to a required change in revenue presentation. During the year ended December 31, 2016, $812 million of GAAP revenue and cost of revenue—TAC was due to the change in revenue presentation. See Note 1—“The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information on change in revenue presentation. The Company’s uncollected revenue share in connection with the Microsoft Search Agreement was $267 million and $392 million, which is included in accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. On December 4, 2009, in connection with entering into the Microsoft Search Agreement, the Company also entered into a License Agreement with Microsoft (as amended, the “License Agreement”). Under the License Agreement, Microsoft acquired an exclusive 10-year license to the Company’s core search technology and has the ability to integrate this technology into its existing web search platforms. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the exclusive licenses granted to Microsoft under the License Agreement became non-exclusive. The Company also agreed pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment to license certain sales tools to Microsoft to use solely in connection with Microsoft’s paid search services pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement. |

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 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 the acquisition. 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, originally developed content, acquired content, 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 and equity price risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities (including Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group”) and Hortonworks, Inc. (“Hortonworks”) equity securities, as well as our portfolio of 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 and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments 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 marketable securities, including U.S. and foreign government, agency, municipal and highly rated corporate debt obligations and money market funds.
The fair value of the equity investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks will vary over time and is subject to a variety of risks including: company performance, macro-economic, regulatory, industry, and systemic risks of the equity markets overall. Consequently, the carrying value of the Company’s investment portfolio will vary over time as the value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities fluctuates, including Alibaba Group and Hortonworks changes. 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. The Company’s derivative instruments, including the convertible note hedge transactions, expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that its derivative counterparties become unable to meet their financial obligations under the terms of the agreements. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by limiting its derivative 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—Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information related to the Company’s derivative instruments. The Company also holds warrants in Hortonworks, which expose the Company to variability in fair value based on changes in the stock price and volatility as inputs to the Black-Scholes model. Revenue under the Company’s Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (as amended, “Microsoft Search Agreement”) with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) represented approximately 35 percent, 35 percent, and 37 percent of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, and no other individual customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the Company’s revenue for 2014, 2015, or 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, no one customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable balance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from subsidiaries or equity method investments where the local currency is the functional currency, from unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, net changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to the Company’s 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 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. The Company records foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized and foreign exchange gains and losses due to re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $15 million and $22 million net losses in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and a $4 million net gain in 2016. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short- and Long-Term Marketable Securities | Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short- and Long-Term Marketable Securities. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds, time deposits, and liquid debt securities of the U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, and high credit-quality corporate issuers which are classified as marketable debt securities and cash equivalents. All investments in debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents. Investments in debt securities with remaining maturities of less than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets, which are available for use to fund current operations. Investments with remaining 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 limited 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 equity securities, including Alibaba Group and Hortonworks, 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. The change in the classification of the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks to available-for-sale marketable securities exposes the Company’s investment portfolio to increased equity price risk. The Company evaluates the marketable equity securities periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment. A decline of fair value below cost basis 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 cost basis. In those instances, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and the cost basis is recognized in earnings. Regardless of the Company’s intent or requirement to sell the marketable equity securities, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary if the Company does not expect to recover the entire cost basis; in those instances, a loss equal to the difference between fair value and the cost basis of the marketable equity security is recognized in earnings. 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 (expense), net. The Company evaluates its marketable debt 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, 2016. 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, 2014, 2015, and 2016, gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments | Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, to mitigate certain foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges, on an after-tax basis, a portion of its net investment in Yahoo Japan Corporation (“Yahoo Japan”). The Company has designated these foreign currency forward contracts as net investment hedges. The effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any ineffective portion is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company expects the net investment hedges to be effective, on an after-tax basis, and 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 (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gains or losses on these forward contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and reclassified into revenue in the consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged revenue is recognized. If the cash flow hedges were to become ineffective, the ineffective portion would be immediately recorded in other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company hedges certain of its net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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 (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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. See Note 9—“Foreign Currency 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 20 to 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 $85 million, $31 million, and $25 million during 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage through the development stage. The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project and ranges from one to three years. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic reviews could result in a change in estimated useful lives and therefore amortization expense in future periods. During 2014, 2015, and 2016, the amortization of capitalized costs totaled approximately $161 million, $144 million, and $85 million, respectively. Capitalized software and labor costs are included in property and equipment, net. Included in the capitalized amounts above are $12 million, $5 million, and $4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company’s reporting units are one level below the operating segments level. The reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The estimated fair values of the reporting units are determined using either the market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The income approach uses expected future operating results and failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated 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. The implied fair value is calculated by allocating all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied estimated fair value. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2016. See Note 5—“Goodwill” for results of the goodwill impairment test. |

Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over one to seven years as the pattern of use is ratable. 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. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that an intangible asset with an indefinite life is more likely than not impaired, a quantitative test comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible asset with its carrying amount is performed. The Company estimates the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets using an income approach. Measurement of any impairment losses on both definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets are based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. See Note 6—“Intangible Assets, Net” for additional information. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Originally Developed Content and Acquired Content | Originally Developed Content and Acquired Content. Originally developed content and acquired content are both carried at cost. Originally developed content is amortized based on the expected pattern of viewing. Acquired content is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of each program’s contractual window of availability or estimated period of use, beginning with the month of first availability. Marketing and general and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.
For originally developed content, the Company performs regular recoverability assessments on a program-by-program basis. If there are any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the Company should assess whether the fair value of originally developed content is less than its unamortized costs, the Company performs a fair value analysis using an expected cash flow approach. The amount by which the unamortized costs of the originally developed content exceed estimated fair value is charged to expense as an asset impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $16 million related to originally developed content. For acquired content, the Company compares the net realizable value on a program-by-program basis with the unamortized cost. The amount by which the unamortized costs of the acquired content exceed net realizable value is charged to expense as an asset impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $28 million related to acquired content, primarily driven by a reduction of forecasted revenues to be generated from advertising on Yahoo Properties. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 in the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in privately held equity interests in which the Company cannot exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leasing | Leasing. The Company leases office space and data centers under operating leases and certain data center equipment under capital lease agreements with original lease periods up to 15 years. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company expensed $5 million, $4 million, and $3 million of interest related to capital leases, respectively, which approximated the cash payments made for interest. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had net capital lease obligations included in other short-term and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of $33 million and $23 million, respectively. Certain of the operating 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 that the Company has the right to control the asset to begin rent expense. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the period of straight-line recognition of rent expense. The Company establishes assets and liabilities for the estimated construction costs incurred under build-to-suit lease arrangements to the extent the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements or take construction risk prior to commencement of a lease. Upon the right to control the facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company assesses whether these arrangements qualify for sales recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance. If the Company continues to be the deemed owner, the facilities are accounted for as finance leases. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 liabilities for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These liabilities 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 liabilities when new information becomes available, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, developments in case law or interactions with the tax authorities. 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 changes to liabilities for tax-related uncertainties that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $90 million, $3 billion in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Income taxes refund received, net of payments made, was $151 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest paid was not material in any of the years presented. See Note 16—“Income Taxes” for additional information. |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generated from offerings, which include clicks on text-based links to advertisers’ websites that appear primarily on search results pages (“search advertising”), the display of graphical, non-graphical, and video advertisements (“display advertising”), and other sources. Search Revenue. Search revenue is generated from mobile and desktop clicks on text-based links to advertisers’ websites that appear primarily on search results pages (“search advertising”). 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 an end-user clicks on a sponsored listing on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites for which an advertiser pays on a per click basis. The Company also sells search traffic to certain customers where it does not have a direct relationship with the advertiser, in which case revenue is also recognized based on Paid Clicks. In the Microsoft Search Agreement, the Company agreed to request paid search results from Microsoft for 51 percent of search queries originating from desktop computers accessing Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites (the “Volume Commitment”). There is no such Volume Commitment for traffic generated on mobile devices. On April 15, 2015, the Company and Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Search and Advertising Services and Sales Agreement (“Microsoft Search Agreement”). Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company completed the transition of its exclusive sales responsibilities to Microsoft for Microsoft’s paid search services to premium advertisers in the United States, Canada, and Europe on April 1, 2016 and in its remaining markets (other than Taiwan and Hong Kong) on June 1, 2016. Following the transition in each respective market, Yahoo is considered the principal in the sale of traffic to Microsoft and other customers because Yahoo is the primary obligor in its arrangements with Microsoft and has discretion in how search queries from Affiliate sites will be fulfilled and monetized. As a result, amounts paid to Affiliates under the Microsoft Search Agreement in the transitioned markets are recorded as cost of revenue—TAC rather than as a reduction to revenue, resulting in revenue from the Microsoft Search Agreement being reported on a gross rather than net basis. Effective June 3, 2016, the Company and Microsoft further amended the Microsoft Search Agreement to provide that sales responsibilities for premium advertisers in Taiwan and Hong Kong will not be transitioned. TAC in those markets will continue to be reported as a reduction to revenue. The table below presents how the Company accounted for amounts paid to Affiliates related to the Microsoft Search Agreement in transitioned markets, and shows the impact of the implementation of the Eleventh Amendment in transitioned markets (in thousands):
See Note 19—“Microsoft Search Agreement” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. Prior to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company was entitled to receive a percentage of the revenue (the “Revenue Share Rate”) generated from Microsoft’s services on Yahoo Properties and on Affiliate sites after deduction of the Affiliate sites’ share of revenue and certain Microsoft costs. The Revenue Share Rate was 88 percent for the first five years of the Microsoft Search Agreement and then increased to 90 percent on February 23, 2015. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Revenue Share Rate increased to 93 percent, but Microsoft now receives its 7 percent revenue share before deduction of the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. The Company is responsible for paying the Affiliate for the Affiliate site’s share of revenue. The Company also recognizes search revenue generated from mobile and desktop ads served through Yahoo Gemini (Yahoo’s unified marketplace for search and native advertising on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites). The Company is considered the primary obligor to the advertisers who are the customers of the search advertising service. Accordingly, the search revenue generated from mobile and desktop ads served through Yahoo Gemini that involve traffic supplied by Affiliates is reported gross of the traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) paid to Affiliates (reported as cost of revenue—TAC) as the Company performs the search service for advertisers. In October 2015, Yahoo reached an agreement with Google that provides Yahoo with additional flexibility to choose among suppliers of search results and ads. Google’s offerings complement the search services provided by Microsoft and Yahoo Gemini. Yahoo is considered the principal in the sale of traffic to Google because Yahoo is the primary obligor in its arrangement with Google and has discretion in how search queries from Affiliate sites will be fulfilled and monetized. As a result, amounts paid to Affiliates under the Google agreement are recorded as cost of revenue—TAC. Additionally, the Company generates search revenue from a revenue sharing arrangement with Yahoo Japan for search technology and services and records the related revenue as reported. Display Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from display advertising on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites as impressions of or clicks on display advertisements, including native ads, are delivered. Impressions are delivered when a sold advertisement appears in pages viewed by users. Clicks are delivered when a user clicks on an advertisement. Arrangements for these services generally have terms of up to one year. For display advertising on Affiliate sites, the Company pays Affiliates from the revenue generated from the display of these advertisements on the Affiliate sites. Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) are payments made to Affiliates 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 (reported as cost of revenue—TAC) when 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 which are separate units of accounting. 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. Other Revenue. Other revenue includes listings-based services revenue, e-commerce transaction revenue, royalties, patent licenses 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 Local 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. The Company also receives royalties from Yahoo Japan which are recognized when earned. Alibaba Group’s obligation to make royalty payments under the Technology and Intellectual Property License Agreement (the “TIPLA”) ceased on September 24, 2014 as a result of the Alibaba Group’s initial public offering (the “Alibaba Group IPO”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and the Company’s recognition of the remaining TIPLA deferred revenue was completed on September 18, 2015. See Note 8—“Investments in Equity Interests Accounted for Using the Equity Method of Accounting” for additional information on the revenue recognized related to the TIPLA. 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 and cannot reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction to revenue. 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 for which revenue will not be earned within the next 12 months. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cost of revenue-TAC | Cost of revenue—TAC. TAC consists of payments made to Affiliates and payments made to companies that direct consumer and business traffic to Yahoo Properties. TAC is either recorded as a reduction of revenue or as cost of revenue—TAC. TAC related to the Microsoft Search Agreement was recorded as a reduction to revenue for reporting periods through March 31, 2016. Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, TAC related to the Microsoft Search Agreement is recorded as cost of revenue—TAC in markets that have completed the transition of exclusive sales responsibilities to Microsoft for paid search services to premium advertisers pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment as described above. See Note 19—“Microsoft Search Agreement” for additional information. TAC recorded as cost of revenue—TAC also relates to the Company’s other offerings. The Company enters into Affiliate agreements of varying duration that involve TAC. There are generally two economic structures of the Affiliate agreements: fixed payments with or without a guaranteed minimum amount of traffic delivered 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 TAC under two different methods. Agreements with fixed payments are expensed ratably over the term the fixed payment covers or as the traffic is delivered. 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. The Company also has an agreement to compensate a third party, Mozilla Corporation (“Mozilla”), to make the Company the default search provider on certain of Mozilla’s products in the United States. The Company records these payments as cost of revenue—TAC. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cost of revenue-other | Cost of revenue—other. Cost of revenue-other consists of bandwidth costs, stock-based compensation, content, and other expenses associated with the production and usage of Yahoo Properties, including expense and amortization of developed technology and patents. Cost of revenue—other also includes costs for Yahoo’s technology platforms and infrastructure, including depreciation expense of facilities and other operating costs, directly related to revenue generating activities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amortization of Intangibles | Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of customer, affiliate, and advertiser-related relationships and tradenames, trademarks and domain names are classified within amortization of intangibles. Amortization of developed technology and patents is included in cost of revenue—other. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. 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 $142 million, $184 million, and $135 million for 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges. The Company has developed and implemented restructuring initiatives to improve efficiencies across the organization, reduce its cost structure, and/or better align its resources with the Company’s product strategy. 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, the consolidation of certain real estate facilities and data centers, losses on subleases, and contract termination costs. The Company’s restructuring plans include one-time termination benefits as well as certain contractual termination benefits or employee terminations under ongoing benefit arrangements. One-time termination benefits are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the approved plan of termination has been communicated to employees, unless employees must provide future service, in which case the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period. Ongoing termination benefits arrangements are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the amount of such benefits becomes estimable and payment is probable. Contract termination costs are recognized at estimated fair value when the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms. 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 14—“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 recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital only 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 determined that it had a sufficient windfall pool available through the end of 2016 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 operations. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Accordingly, this guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This conclusion impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard regarding the identification of performance obligations and accounting for the license of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” which finalizes its amendments to the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to make the guidance more operable and lead to more consistent application. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue recognition standard. The standard is required to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected the transition method. The Company will adopt the new revenue standards in its first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management is required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s disclosures in the footnotes to its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The new guidance on the classification and measurement will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on the consolidated financial statements and currently anticipates the new guidance would significantly impact its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive Income as the Company’s marketable equity securities, primarily the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group and Hortonworks, are currently 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.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements given the Company has a significant number of leases. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Contingent put and call options in debt instruments, a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force,” which simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options. The new guidance clarifies that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. A contingent put or call option embedded in a debt instrument would be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis to all existing and future debt instruments. An entity will be able to elect the fair value option at transition for the entire debt instrument, including its embedded features, but will not be able to unwind a previously-elected fair value option. The Company is not early adopting this standard and will consider the guidance for future transactions once it is effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting,” which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment in order to reduce recognition and presentation complexity in financial reporting. Instead, the new guidance requires equity method of accounting to be applied prospectively from the date significant influence is obtained. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance is required to be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting after the effective date. The Company is not early adopting this standard and will consider the guidance for future transactions once it is effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” as part of its simplification initiative, which involves several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax effects, statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-09, stock based compensation excess benefits (if any) will be recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company will record the cumulative tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable. This cumulative impact is expected to increase retained earnings by approximately $100 million. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which introduces new guidance for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and net investments in leases. The new guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires the entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on an available-for-sale debt security is a credit loss. The standard also indicates that entities may not use the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.” The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory” which amends the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs. For intra-entity transfers of inventory, the income tax effects will continue to be deferred until the inventory has been sold to a third party. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash” which provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance requires restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included within the cash and cash equivalents balances when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” which eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The ASU also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
