1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations ~~and Reorganization~~

Angie’s List, Inc. (collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) operates a consumer-driven service for its members to research, hire, rate and review local professionals for critical needs, such as home, health care and automotive services. Ratings and reviews, which are available only to the Company’s members, help its members to find the best provider for their local service needs. Membership subscriptions are sold on a monthly, annual and multi-year basis. The consumer rating network “Angie’s List” is maintained and updated based on member feedback. The Company also sells advertising in its monthly publication, on its website and through its call center to service providers that meet certain rating criteria. In addition, the Company's e-commerce offerings provide its members the opportunity to purchase services directly ~~from~~through the Company from service providers that are rated on its website. The Company’s services are provided in metropolitan areas located across the continental United States.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results from interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The Company is subject to seasonal patterns that generally affect its business. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect Angie’s List, Inc.’s financial position or results of operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

For further information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013. As used herein, the terms “Angie’s List”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean Angie’s List, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating segment.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

~~Table of Contents~~

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the service has been provided to the customer, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured, and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

Table of Contents

Membership Revenue

Revenue from the sale of membership subscriptions is recognized ratably over the term of the associated subscription. At the time a member joins, the Company may receive a one-time nonrefundable enrollment fee. Enrollment fees are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over an estimated average membership life of 80 months for annual or multi-year members and 13 months for monthly members, which is based on historical membership experience. The Company reviews the estimated average membership life on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances change. Changes in member behavior, performance, competition and economic conditions may cause attrition levels to change, which could impact the estimated average membership life.

Service Provider Revenue

Revenue from the sale of advertising in the Company’s publication is recognized in the month in which the Company’s monthly publication is published and distributed. Revenue from the sale of website and call center advertising is recognized ratably over the time period the advertisements run. Revenue from e-commerce vouchers is recognized on a net basis when the voucher is delivered to the purchaser. While the Company is not the merchant of record with respect to its customers for these transactions, it does offer customers refunds in certain circumstances. Revenue from e-commerce transactions is recorded net of a reserve for estimated refunds. ~~During~~The Company's e-commerce revenue was $7,784 and $4,957 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, ~~our e-commerce revenue represented $6,258~~respectively, and ~~$4,661 of total service provider revenue,~~$14,042 and $9,618 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue includes the unamortized portion of revenue associated with membership and advertising fees for which the Company received payment in advance of services or advertising to be provided.

Contractual Obligations

During the current year, the Company executed a new capital lease obligation for technology hardware and software with payments due through 2017 and entered into long-term operating lease agreements with payments due through 2020 for the purpose of office space expansion. Total combined future minimum payment obligations on these new leases amounts to approximately $11,408 through 2020, with approximately $714 of that amount due over the remainder of 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that "an entity recognizes revenue to depict 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." The standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact of this standard to the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not materially impact reported results of operation.

2. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing consolidated net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was ~~$(0.06)~~$(0.31) and ~~$(0.14)~~$(0.25) for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $(0.38) and $(0.38) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following potentially dilutive equity securities are not included in the diluted net loss per common share calculation as they would have an antidilutive effect:

March 31, 2014 March 31, 2013
Stock options 4,761,665

3. Fair Value Measurements

Whenever possible, quoted prices in active markets are used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments. Our financial instruments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes. The estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards, defined and established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis and/or financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis that were adjusted to fair value during the period. In accordance with ASC 820, we categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, following the three-level fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

Valuation Techniques

The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy on the basis of valuations using quoted market prices. As many fixed income securities do not trade daily, fair values are often derived using recent trades of securities with similar features and characteristics. When recent trades are not available, pricing models are used to determine these prices. These models calculate fair values by discounting future cash flows at estimated market interest rates. Such market rates are derived by calculating the appropriate spreads over comparable U.S. Treasury securities, based on the credit quality, industry and structure of the asset. Typical inputs and assumptions to pricing models include, but are not limited to, a combination of benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, liquidity, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. The Company’s fixed income corporate bond investments and certificates of deposit with fixed maturities are valued using recent trades or pricing models and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no movements between fair value measurement levels of the Company’s cash equivalents and ~~short-term~~ investments during 2014, and there were no material unrealized gains or losses as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

The following tables summarize the financial instruments of the Company at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy for each class of instrument as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


			Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2014 Using								Fair Value Measurement at June 30, 2014 Using
	Carrying Value at March 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Carrying Value at June 30, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

			Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2013 Using
	Carrying Value at December 31, 2013		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	655	$	655	$	—	$	—
Investments:
Certificates of deposit	13,750		—		13,734		—
Corporate bonds	7,305		—		7,303		—
Total assets	$	21,710	$	655	$	21,037	$	—

The carrying amount of the term loan approximates its fair value, using Level 2 inputs, as this borrowing bears interest at a variable (market) rate at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events, including those described in Note 6, Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets, that are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 6 for the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the prior year acquisition of substantially all the assets of SmartHabitat (“BrightNest”).

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

4. Prepaid and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets were comprised of the following:


	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013		June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

6. Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets

The Company has goodwill as well as certain amortizable intangible assets consisting of data acquisition costs, a member list, content, core technology and other intangible assets related to the purchase of a website domain name. The goodwill and amortizable intangible asset balances reflect the goodwill, member list, content and core technology acquired during the August 2, 2013 acquisition of substantially all the assets of BrightNest for a purchase price of $2,650, inclusive of $1,920 in acquired intangible assets and goodwill of $730. The purchase price consisted of $2,150 in cash paid at closing and an additional $500 that is payable on the one-year anniversary of the closing, subject to certain performance criteria of BrightNest employees hired by the Company on the acquisition date. Revenues and expenses related to BrightNest, which are not material, are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Amortization on the intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. Amortizable intangible assets at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:


	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Amortization Period (in years)	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Amortization Period (in years)

8. Debt and Credit Arrangements

On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement that provided for a $15,000 term loan and a $15,000 revolving credit facility. The term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the current cash interest rate of LIBOR plus 10% or (ii) 10.5%, and requires monthly interest-only payments until maturity in August 2015. The revolving credit facility requires monthly interest-only payments on advances, which bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 5%. In addition, when less than 50% of the revolving credit facility is drawn, the Company is required to pay a non-usage charge of 0.50% per annum of the average unused portion of the credit facility. The term loan provides for penalties for early prepayment. The term loan and revolving credit facility provide for additional interest upon an event of default and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had ~~$14,930~~$14,943 and $14,918, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the term loan and available credit of $15,000 under the revolving credit facility.

The loan and security agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to stockholders or enter into certain types of related party transactions. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a minimum asset coverage ratio, and non-financial covenants. Upon an event of default, which includes a material adverse change, the lenders may accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and foreclose on all collateral. The Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company has or may become party to litigation incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes with respect to these matters and determines loss contingency assessments on a gross basis after assessing the probability of incurrence of a loss and whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company considers other relevant factors that could impact its ability to reasonably estimate a loss. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analyzing each matter. The Company’s reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in strategy in handling these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters listed below will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can adversely impact the Company due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Fritzinger v. Angie’s List, Inc. On August 14, 2012, a lawsuit seeking class action status was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the “Court”). The lawsuit alleges claims of breach of contract and unjust enrichment, alleging that the Company automatically renews membership fees at a higher rate than customers are led to believe, breaching their membership agreements. On April 17, 2014, the Court issued its Order granting Preliminary Approval of the Parties' Proposed Settlement and set a final approval hearing date for September 17, 2014. The Company recorded a $4,000 legal accrual related to the settlement at December 31, 2013, and for the ~~three months~~period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, the Company believes this amount represents the best estimate of the Company’s ultimate liability with respect to this litigation. Any difference between the amount recorded and the actual final court-approved settlement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

~~Baron v. Angie’s List, Inc., et al.~~Putative Securities Class Action Litigation. On December 23, 2013, athe first of two putative securities class action ~~complaint~~complaints was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, naming the Company and various of its current and former directors and officers as ~~defendants and alleging~~defendants. The first complaint is styled as Baron v. Angie’s List, Inc. et al., 1:13-cv-2032. On January 9, 2014, the second putative securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The second complaint is styled as Bartolone v. Angie’s List, Inc., et al. Both complaints allege that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by making material misstatements in and omitting material information from the Company’s public disclosures concerning the Company’s business prospects. The ~~complaint~~complaints further ~~alleges~~allege that the defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by virtue of ~~their~~the officer defendants’ positions as control persons. The ~~plaintiff has requested~~complaints request unspecified damages, interest, and costs, as well as ancillary relief. On ~~January 23,~~June 16, 2014, the Court ~~entered a scheduling order pursuant to which, upon appointment~~consolidated the two cases and appointed United Food & Commercial Workers Local 464A Pension Fund as lead plaintiff ~~the plaintiff~~(“Local 464A”). Local 464A has ~~sixty days with which~~until August 15, 2014 to file a consolidated ~~complaint or stand on the current~~amended complaint. ~~Pursuant to that order, the Company’s response to that complaint is due sixty days thereafter.~~

~~Bartolone v. Angie’s List, Inc., et al.~~ ~~On January 9, 2014, a class action complaint was filed in the Court, naming the same defendants, asserting the same claims, and asking for the same relief as sought in~~ ~~Baron, described above. On January 29, 2014, the Court entered a scheduling order identical to the order entered in~~ ~~Baron~~.

~~Baron~~ ~~and~~ ~~Bartolone~~ ~~are collectively referred to as the “Stockholder Class Action.” The Company believes that the Stockholder Class Action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.~~

Korda v. ~~William S.~~ Oesterle, et al. On January 3, 2014, a derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court ~~on behalf~~for the Southern District of ~~the Company,~~Indiana, naming the Company’s Board of Directors and various current orand former officers as individual ~~defendants and the~~defendants. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The ~~plaintiff~~complaint is styled as Korda v. Oesterle, et al., 1:14-cv-00004. The complaint asserts ~~a breach of fiduciary duty claim against~~that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duty based on their ~~alleged~~ knowledge that the Company’s public statements during 2013 concerning the Company’s business prospects were allegedly misleading. The ~~plaintiff asserts a breach of~~complaint also alleges that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duty ~~claim against certain individual defendants based on their sales~~by selling shares of Angie’s List common stock between December 2012 and December 2013. The plaintiff asks for unspecified amounts in damages, interest, and costs, as well as ancillary relief. The parties have agreed to a stay of the action pending a ruling on ~~the~~a motion to dismiss Local 464A’s consolidated amended complaint in the ~~Stockholder~~Putative Securities Class Action Litigation described above.

Overview

We operate a consumer-driven service for our members to research, hire, rate, review and purchase local services for critical needs, such as home, health care and automotive services. Our ratings and reviews, which are available only to our members, help our members find the best provider for their local service needs. We had ~~approximately 2.6~~more than 2.8 million paid memberships at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. We allow local service providers who are highly rated by our members to advertise discounts and other promotions to our members.

We generate revenue from both our members and our service providers. We derive membership revenue from subscription fees and, in certain cases, nonrefundable initiation fees for monthly, annual and multi-year memberships. These fees are typically charged in advance. Subscription fees are recognized ratably over the subscription period, and initiation fees are recognized ratably over the expected life of the membership. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, approximately 94% of our total membership base purchased annual or multi-year memberships. These subscription fees represent a significant source of working capital and provide a relatively predictable revenue stream.

We derive service provider revenue principally from term-based sales of advertising to local service providers. Our members grade local service providers on an “A” to “F” scale, and we invite local service providers with an average grade of “B” or better and at least two reviews submitted in the last three years to advertise to our members through any or all of our website, email promotions, monthly magazine and call center. Service provider contracts can be prepaid or invoiced monthly at the option of the service provider and carry an early termination penalty. We recognize service provider revenue ratably over the period in which an advertising campaign is run. We are expanding our service provider sales personnel to drive increased service provider revenue. Our high service provider renewal rates, both in number of service providers renewing and as a percentage of initial contract value renewed, have provided us with a relatively predictable revenue stream.

Table of Contents

In addition to traditional advertising on our website and publications, our e-commerce solutions offer our members and visitors to our website the opportunity to purchase services through us from service providers rated highly on our website. These offerings are available through both email promotions and through postings on our ~~website.~~website and are becoming an increasingly important aspect of our business. When the member purchases a service, the transaction is processed through Angie’s List. The member can then ~~can~~indicate scheduling preferences automatically using our tools or work directly with the service provider to schedule the service. These e-commerce offerings provide our members a discount and an easier way to fulfill their service needs.

We have increased, and expect to continue to increase, our focus on our e-commerce offerings as a way to further enhance the value of our services for both consumers and service providers.

~~Table of Contents~~

To establish a new market, we begin by offering free memberships and actively soliciting members’ reviews of local service providers. As the number of members and the number of reviews of service providers grows, we begin charging membership fees and offering advertising opportunities to eligible local service providers. Historically, we begin to convert most markets to paid membership status within 24 months after launch.

Increasing new paid memberships is a key growth strategy. Increased penetration in a market results in more member reviews of local service providers, which increases the value of our service to consumers and drives further membership growth in that market. Increased penetration in a market also drives increased advertising sales to service providers and supports higher advertising rates as the pool of members actively seeking to hire service providers grows. However, our ability to increase advertising rates tends to lag increased penetration of our markets due to our inability to increase rates under existing service provider contracts prior to renewal. Our primary strategy for new member acquisition is national offline and online advertising. Our marketing expense generally increases in the second ~~and~~or third quarters of the year ~~typically peaking in the third quarter,~~ as we increase our investment in advertising to attract consumers during the periods when we have found they are most actively seeking Angie’s List services.

As described further in the “Market Cohort Analysis” herein, we believe that our estimated penetration rate and average revenue per market will increase as markets mature, and over the ~~long term,~~long-term, we believe that these increased revenues will more than offset our operating expenses. In addition, our advertising spending is focused on the acquisition of new members, rather than the maintenance of existing members. Given that our advertising contracts are typically short-term, we can rapidly adjust marketing expense and thus decrease total operating expenses to reduce cash used in operations or generate cash and profits from operations should we begin to experience adverse trends in marketing cost per paid membership acquisition or wish to optimize for profitability at the expense of rapid growth. We believe that our high membership renewal rates and “word of mouth” referrals from existing members, combined with effective purchasing of lower volumes of advertising and increasing utilization of search engine optimization, or SEO, would enable us to maintain and potentially grow the size of our paid membership base at a lower level of overall advertising spending.

Market Cohort Analysis

To analyze our progress in executing our expansion plan, we compile certain financial and operating data regarding markets we have entered, grouped by the years in which the markets transitioned to paid membership status. The table below summarizes this data for the twelve month period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 by each respective cohort. The pre-2003 cohort includes our ten most established markets where we initially built out our business model. The markets in this cohort include several mid-sized urban markets in the Midwest as well as Chicago and Boston. The 2003 through 2007 cohort includes the first major subset of markets, including many of our largest potential markets, which we targeted in our national expansion strategy. The markets in these older cohorts have generally achieved penetration rates that allow us to transition beyond introductory membership and advertising rates. The 2008-2010 and post-2010 cohorts include markets that most recently converted to paid status and that still utilize predominantly lower membership and advertising rates as the markets in these cohorts generally are smaller markets that we entered to fill out our national presence.

(1)	Average revenue per market is calculated by dividing the revenue recognized for the markets in a given cohort by the number of markets in the cohort at period end.

(2)	Membership revenue per paid membership is calculated as our membership revenue in the cohort divided by the average number of paid memberships in the cohort. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort.

(3)	Service provider revenue per paid membership is calculated as service provider revenue in the cohort divided by the average number of paid memberships in the cohort. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort.

(4)	Average marketing expense per market is calculated first by allocating marketing expense to each cohort based on the percentage of our total target demographic for all markets in each cohort, as determined by third-party data, and then dividing the allocated cohort marketing expense by the number of markets in the cohort at period end. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort. According to a ~~March~~June 2014 demographic study by Merkle Inc. that we commissioned, there were approximately 29 million households in the United States in our target demographic, which consists of homeowners aged 35 to 64 with an annual household income of at least $75,000. Approximately 26 million of these households were in our markets. The average number of households per market in our target demographic target was 390,000, 410,000, 60,000 and 20,000 for the pre-2003, 2003-2007, 2008-2010 and post-2010 cohorts, respectively.

(5)	Includes total paid memberships as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. Total paid memberships in each cohort includes a de minimis number of complimentary memberships in our paid markets for the period presented.

(6)	Estimated penetration rate is calculated by dividing the number of paid memberships in a given cohort as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 by the number of households meeting our target demographic criteria in that cohort.

(7)	Annual membership growth rate is the rate of increase in the total number of paid memberships in the cohort between ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Table of Contents

Our average revenue per market and total revenue per paid membership have generally increased with the maturity and corresponding increased penetration of our markets in prior periods. In the future, we expect total revenue per paid membership to fluctuate from period to period, reflecting the timing of our ability to adjust advertising rates given our advertising contract terms and membership pricing innovations designed to drive increased penetration. For example:

Our average advertising contract term is typically more than one year, and we are only able to increase rates for a given participating service provider upon contract renewal. As such, there is a lag in our ability to leverage increased penetration in a market into increased advertising rates;

Increasingly, we are seeing members opt for annual memberships, and as such, the percentage of our membership base on monthly memberships has declined. While we believe annual memberships are more beneficial to members and promote high renewal rates, these memberships generate lower proceeds than monthly memberships on an annualized basis; and

On average across all markets, we are utilizing lower membership pricing ~~than historically used~~as part of a new tiered pricing structure for varying levels of service that was introduced on a national basis during the quarter in order to drive deeper penetration via enhanced membership growth and retention as well as to increase service provider participation.

Our most important growth strategy remains driving membership growth, which creates the network effects of a more valuable service for consumers and a more attractive commercial platform for service providers. We intend to continue to evaluate and adopt innovative pricing and packaging strategies, such as ~~deeply reduced~~tiered membership ~~pricing,~~offerings, to deliver compelling value to our members and thereby support membership growth and retention. Although these overall dynamics have caused and may continue to cause membership revenue per paid membership to decline sequentially in some of our cohorts, we believe that the increase in our membership base is critical for continuing to produce ~~the~~ overall growth in average revenue per market, service provider revenue per paid membership and total revenue per paid membership across all cohorts.

As a market matures, our penetration rate typically increases. Historically, while the absolute number of paid members may grow faster in large markets, our small and medium size markets often achieve greater penetration over a shorter time period than our larger markets. We believe that a principal reason for our lower penetration rates in large markets is the manner in which we market Angie’s List to our target demographic in such markets. We spend the majority of our marketing dollars on national advertising, and we believe that this advertising strategy provides us the most cost effective and efficient manner of acquiring new paid memberships. However, advertising nationally means we deliver the same volume of advertising regardless of the size of the market. Since each market differs in terms of the number of advertising outlets available, the impact of our spending on national advertising varies across markets. In our experience, smaller markets typically provide fewer advertising outlets than larger markets. Therefore, we believe the same volume of advertising in a smaller market is more effective in building brand awareness and generating new memberships than in larger markets. We expect to continue to see lower relative penetration rates in our larger markets for these reasons. As several of these larger markets are in the 2003-2007 cohort, over time our penetration rate in this cohort may lag other cohorts.

Key Operating Metrics

In addition to the line items in our financial statements, we regularly review a number of other operating metrics related to our membership and service provider bases to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors and analysts to understand the underlying trends in our business. The following table summarizes our key operating metrics, which are unaudited, for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013			2014			2013
Total paid memberships (end of period)	2,628,704			1,951,774			2,838,863			2,162,601			2,838,863			2,162,601
Gross paid memberships added (in period)	286,626			274,896			398,812			347,342			685,438			622,238

Participating service providers (end of period)	49,370			39,265			51,076			42,452			51,076			42,452
Total service provider contract value (end of period, in thousands)	$	211,635		$	150,262		$	224,171		$	165,566		$	224,171		$	165,566

Total paid memberships. Total paid memberships reflects the number of paid memberships at the end of each period presented. Total paid memberships also includes a de minimis number of complimentary memberships in our paid markets for all periods presented. We generally expect that there will be one membership per household and, as such, each membership may actually represent multiple individual consumers.

Gross paid memberships added. Gross paid memberships added reflects the total number of new paid memberships added in a reporting period. Gross paid memberships added increased substantially in each period presented, which we believe was driven by our ~~continually~~ significant investment in national advertising and, to a lesser extent, by “word of mouth” referrals from our existing members.

Marketing cost per paid membership acquisition. We calculate marketing cost per paid membership acquisition in a reporting period as marketing expense divided by gross paid memberships added in that period. As we advertise in national media, a portion of our marketing expenditures also increase the number of unpaid memberships. On a comparative basis, marketing cost per paid membership acquisition can reflect our success in generating new paid memberships through our SEO efforts, “word of mouth” referrals and experimentation and adjustments to our marketing expense to focus on more effective advertising outlets for membership acquisition. We typically incur higher marketing expense in the second ~~and~~or third quarters of the year in order to attract consumers during the periods when we have found they are most actively seeking Angie’s List services. Our marketing expense is normally reduced in the fourth quarter ~~reflecting~~due to reduced consumer activity in the service sector and higher advertising rates ~~generally due to~~associated with holiday promotional activity. In 2014, we accelerated our marketing expenditures in the second quarter, and as such, we plan to curtail marketing spend in both the third and fourth quarters of the year.

Membership renewal rates. First-year membership renewal rate reflects the percentage of paid memberships expiring in the reporting period after the first year of membership that are renewed. Average membership renewal rate reflects the percentage of all paid memberships expiring in the reporting period that are renewed. Renewal rates do not include monthly memberships, which comprised approximately 6% of our total membership base as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. Given the correlation between increased penetration and higher total revenue per paid membership, we view first-year membership renewal rate and average membership renewal rate as key indicators of expected operating results in future periods.

Participating service providers. We include in participating service providers the total number of service providers under contract for advertising at the end of the period.

Total service provider contract value. We calculate service provider contract value as the total contract value of active service provider contracts at the end of the period. Contract value is the total payment obligation of a service provider to us, including amounts already recognized in revenue, over the stated term of the contract.

In addition, we track contract value backlog as a key metric. Contract value backlog consists of the portion of service provider contract value at the stated date which is not yet recognized as revenue. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, our contract value backlog was $~~132.1~~138.1 million and $~~95.1~~102.2 million, respectively.

Total revenue increased ~~$20.5~~$19.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2013.

Membership revenue increased ~~$3.7~~$2.6 million, primarily due to a ~~35%~~31% increase in the total number of paid memberships, partially offset by ~~a 7%~~an 11% decrease in membership revenue per paid membership in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. The decrease in ~~average~~ membership revenue per paid membership resulted ~~primarily~~in part from growth in paid memberships in less penetrated markets where average membership fees per paid membership are lower. In addition, we reduced new membership fees, on average, across all markets in the current year as compared to the prior year ~~which~~as a result of a new tiered pricing structure that was introduced on a national basis during the quarter, further ~~contributed~~contributing to the year over year decline in ~~average~~ membership revenue per paid membership. The decrease in membership revenue per paid membership in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 also resulted from an increase from 92% to 94% of total memberships constituting annual and multi-year memberships year over year. Consumers pay more per month for a monthly membership than for an annual membership. Therefore, in periods in which our percentage of memberships shifts to more annual and multi-year memberships, our membership revenue per paid membership decreases.

~~Table of Contents~~

Service provider revenue increased ~~$16.8~~$17.1 million to ~~75%~~77% of total revenue, primarily as a result of a ~~26%~~20% increase in the number of local service providers participating in our advertising programs and a ~~15%~~16% increase in service provider revenue per participating service provider. Service provider revenue primarily consists of revenue from advertising contracts with service providers. As our penetration of a given market increases, we are typically able to charge higher rates for advertising as service providers are able to reach a larger base of potential customers. However, as we only increase advertising rates at the time of contract renewal, increases in service provider revenue in a given market may trail increases in market penetration. E-commerce revenue of ~~$6.3~~$7.8 million and ~~$4.7~~$5.0 million is also included in service provider revenue for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our e-commerce revenue is generated by our Angie’s List Big Deal and Storefront offerings. We expect the revenue contribution from these offerings to fluctuate from period to period as the offerings evolve and due to seasonality.

Operations and support expense increased ~~$3.3~~$3.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2013. This increase was due in part to a ~~$1.5~~$1.6 million increase in operations and support personnel-related costs as we increased our headcount to service our growing member and service provider base. Additionally, we incurred an approximately $1.0 million increase in publication-related costs associated with the increased circulation of the Angie’s List Magazine due to the continued expansion of our membership base. There was also a ~~$0.3~~$0.6 million increase in expenses incurred for outsourced services as well as a $0.4 million increase in credit card processing fees year over year attributable to the growing volume of membership enrollment and service provider transactions. Operations and support expense remained constant as a percentage of revenue as compared to the prior year quarter. We expect operations and support expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our membership and service provider bases. Operations and support expense remained constant as a percentage of revenue primarily due to the fact that the year over year growth in total revenue approximated the increase in operations and support expense over the same time period.

Marketing expense increased $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to a planned increase in national advertising for the purpose of acquiring new members. Marketing expense as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly from the prior year period due to total revenue increasing at a marginally greater rate than marketing expense increased in absolute dollars over the same time period. Our marketing cost per paid membership acquisition increased from $80 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $90 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the fact that marketing expenditures increased by approximately 28% year over year, while gross paid memberships added during the period increased by 15% over the same time period. In 2014, we accelerated our marketing expenditures in the second quarter, and as such, we plan to curtail marketing spend in the remaining two quarters of the year.

The increase in product and technology expense was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million increase in general office and utilities expenditures and a $0.4 million increase in technology-related outside consulting and professional fees incurred as we continue to develop our technology platform and service our growing base of members and service providers. We expect product and technology expense, which includes costs associated with new product development as well as maintenance of our website, to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we continue to invest in our technological infrastructure to support current and anticipated future growth, including implementing new technologies focused on driving enhanced customer experiences and business efficiencies. Product and technology expense as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly compared to the prior year period, and we expect product and technology expense as a percentage of revenue to be relatively consistent from period to period.

General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The most significant drivers behind the fluctuation in general and administrative expense year over year were a $1.0 million increase in expenditures for outsourced services, a $0.9 million increase in personnel-related costs, $0.7 million of which was attributable to increases in general and administrative non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and a $0.5 million increase in bad debt expense, all of which are attributable to our continued efforts to scale and optimize our business operations. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. We expect general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue to remain relatively consistent.

Interest expense

Interest expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. As the outstanding debt balance remained constant, the year over year decrease in interest expense is attributable to current year capitalized interest on long-term software projects.

Total revenue increased $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Membership revenue increased $6.3 million year over year, primarily due to a 31% increase in the total number of paid memberships, partially offset by an 8% decrease in membership revenue per paid membership in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of time in the prior year. The decrease in membership revenue per paid membership resulted in part from growth in paid memberships in less penetrated markets where average membership fees per paid membership are lower. In addition, we reduced new membership fees, on average, across all markets in the current year as compared to the prior year as a result of a new tiered pricing structure that was introduced on a national basis during the quarter, further contributing to the year over year decline in membership revenue per paid membership. The decrease in membership revenue per paid membership in the six months ended June 30, 2014 also resulted from an increase from 92% to 94% of total memberships constituting annual and multi-year memberships year over year.

Service provider revenue increased $33.9 million to 76% of total revenue year over year, primarily as a result of a 20% increase in the number of local service providers participating in our advertising programs and an 18% increase in service provider revenue per participating service provider. Service provider revenue primarily consists of revenue from advertising contracts with service providers.

However, as we only increase advertising rates at the time of contract renewal, increases in service provider revenue in a given market may trail increases in market penetration. E-commerce revenue of $14.0 million and $9.6 million is also included in service provider revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We expect the revenue from these offerings to fluctuate from period to period as the offerings evolve and due to seasonality.

Operations and support expense increased $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Selling expense increased $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows will continue to be ~~affected~~impacted principally by the extent to which we continue to pursue our growth strategy, including investing in national advertising, changes in price per average paid membership, the expansion of our sales personnel to originate service provider contracts, investing in technology personnel and equipment, and other increases in headcount to grow our business. Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our members and service providers. We expect positive operating cash flows in some periods and negative operating cash flows in others depending on seasonality and the extent of our investments in future growth of the business.

Cash provided by operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 of ~~$14.9~~$17.5 million was achieved despite a net loss of ~~$3.8~~$22.1 million. ~~Our cash~~Cash provided by operating activities was largely attributable to a ~~deferred advertising revenue increase of $3.5 million as a result of an increase in the number of service providers participating in our advertising programs and a $17.0~~$32.1 million net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily related to increases in accrued marketing expenses, ~~($11.2 million increase),~~accrued but unpaid commissions, accrued e-commerce, ~~($1.1 million increase), accrued base payroll ($1.1 million increase)~~ and general trade accounts payable ~~($2.3 million increase) and~~as well as the expected timing of payment of these balances. ~~In addition,~~Additionally, we experienced an increase in total combined deferred revenue of $6.7 million year over year as a result of an increase in both the number of paid memberships and in the number of service providers participating in our advertising programs. Furthermore, our net loss was adjusted for ~~$2.8~~$6.3 million of non-cash expenses, which included ~~$1.5~~$3.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, ~~$1.2~~$2.6 million of depreciation and amortization and ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million attributable to the amortization of the debt discount, deferred financing fees and the bond premium.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our use of cash in investing activities in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 was largely attributable to the total combined ~~$6.2~~$15.8 million in property, equipment and software related ~~spend~~capital expenditures during the period, consisting of ~~$2.3~~$7.5 million for facilities and information technology hardware and software and nearly ~~$4.0~~$8.2 million for capitalized website and software development costs as we continue to make significant upgrades to our web and mobile platforms and implement new information technology infrastructure to support our growth. We also spent approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million to date during the ~~quarter~~year on data acquisition to acquire consumer reports on service providers and to purchase a website domain name. We expect that our capital expenditures during the second half of the year will approximate our capital expenditures in the first half of the year, contingent upon timing of development and payment of associated amounts due.

Our use of cash in investing activities in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2013 was attributable to ~~the purchase~~purchases, net of ~~$9.9~~sales, of $10.1 million in investments in corporate bonds, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with maturities between ninety days and one year, ~~$1.5~~$3.6 million for facilities and information technology hardware and software and ~~$0.2~~$0.4 million for data acquisition to acquire consumer reports on service providers.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted solely of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.

Debt Obligations

On August 31, 2011, we entered into a loan and security agreement that provided for a $15.0 million term loan and a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the current cash interest rate of LIBOR plus 10% or (ii) 10.5%, and requires monthly interest-only payments until maturity in August 2015. The revolving credit facility requires monthly interest-only payments on advances, which bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 5%. In addition, when less than 50% of the revolving credit facility is drawn, the Company is required to pay a non-usage charge of 0.50% per annum of the average unused portion of the credit facility. The term loan provides for penalties for early prepayment. The term loan and revolving credit facility provide for additional interest upon an event of default and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s ~~assets.As~~assets. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, we had $14.9 million in outstanding borrowings under the term loan and available credit of $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

The loan and security agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to our stockholders or enter into certain types of related party transactions. We are also required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a minimum asset coverage ratio, and non-financial covenants. Upon an event of default, which includes a material adverse change, the lenders may accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and foreclose on all collateral. We were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities. We do not hold any off-balance sheet interest in variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations relate primarily to debt obligations, non-cancellable operating leases and a capital lease. ~~Other than~~During the ~~execution of~~current year, we executed a new capital lease obligation ~~during~~for technology hardware and software with payments due through 2017, and we entered into long-term operating lease agreements with payments due through 2020 for the ~~quarter, there~~purpose of expanding our office space. Total combined future minimum payment obligations on these new leases amounts to approximately $11.4 million through 2020, with approximately $0.7 million of that amount due over the remainder of 2014. There were no other significant changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
