The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods. 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Revenue Recognition — Search Revenue and 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 to 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. 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): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Cost of revenue — TAC in transitioned markets (*) $ - $ 303,799 Reduction to revenue in transitioned markets $ 271,328 $ - (*) For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cost of revenue — TAC included $257 million in the Americas segment, $45 million in the EMEA segment, and $2 million in the Asia Pacific segment. See Note 16 — “Microsoft Search Agreement” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. Recent Accounting Pronouncements . 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 (loss) as the Company’s marketable equity securities, primarily the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group”), Hortonworks Inc. (“Hortonworks”), and Snap Inc. (“Snap”) 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 2016-09, “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, net of detriments (if any) are now recorded to the condensed 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 adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of the cumulative tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet was adjusted on a modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption, resulting in an increase to retained earnings of approximately $108 million. Also, prospectively beginning January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits, net of detriments have been reflected as an income tax benefit/expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulting in a $13 million tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this ASU also resulted in associated excess tax benefits being classified as an operating activity in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes in the statement of cash flows prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the adoption methodology applied, the statement of cash flows classification of prior periods has not been adjusted. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows statements since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Additional amendments to the accounting for minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company did not change its accounting principles relative to elements of this standard and continued its existing practice of estimating the number of awards that will be forfeited. 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. |

Realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were not material for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. The remaining contractual maturities of available-for-sale marketable debt securities were as follows (in thousands): December 31, March 31, 2017 Due within one year $ 5,700,925 $ 5,582,149 Due after one year through five years 1,089,707 1,110,166 Total available-for-sale marketable debt securities $ 6,790,632 $ 6,692,315 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): December 31, 2016 Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Longer Total Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized Government and agency securities $ 543,605 $ (903) $ - $ - $ 543,605 $ (903) Corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and bank certificates of deposit 2,355,935 (4,638) 46,438 (17) 2,402,373 (4,655) Total available-for-sale marketable debt securities $ 2,899,540 $ (5,541) $ 46,438 $ (17) $ 2,945,978 $ (5,558) March 31, 2017 Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Longer Total Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized Government and agency securities $ 486,628 $ (980) $ - $ - $ 486,628 $ (980) Corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and bank certificates of deposit 2,380,497 (3,265) 32,038 (12) 2,412,535 (3,277) Total available-for-sale marketable debt securities $ 2,867,125 $ (4,245) $ 32,038 $ (12) $ 2,899,163 $ (4,257) The Company’s investment portfolio includes equity securities of Alibaba Group, Snap, Hortonworks and other corporate equity securities, 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 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, 2016 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds (1) $ 375,286 $ - $ - $ 375,286 Available-for-sale marketable debt securities: Government and agency securities (1) - 649,484 - 649,484 Commercial paper and bank certificates of deposit (1) - 3,008,971 - 3,008,971 Corporate debt securities (1) - 3,132,177 - 3,132,177 Time deposits (1) - 39,598 - 39,598 Available-for-sale equity securities: Other corporate equity securities (2) 5,105 - - 5,105 Alibaba Group equity securities 33,680,879 - - 33,680,879 Hortonworks equity securities (2) 31,959 - - 31,959 Hortonworks warrants - - 28,815 28,815 Foreign currency derivative contracts (3) - 11,684 - 11,684 Financial assets at fair value $ 34,093,229 $ 6,841,914 $ 28,815 $ 40,963,958 Liabilities Foreign currency derivative contracts (3) - (9,333) - (9,333) Total financial assets and liabilities at fair value $ 34,093,229 $ 6,832,581 $ 28,815 $ 40,954,625 The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2017 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds (1) $ 533,768 $ - $ - $ 533,768 Available-for-sale marketable debt securities: Government and agency securities (1) - 531,719 - 531,719 Commercial paper and bank certificates of deposit (1) - 2,892,727 - 2,892,727 Corporate debt securities (1) - 3,313,247 - 3,313,247 Time deposits (1) - 52,605 - 52,605 Available-for-sale equity securities: Other corporate equity securities (2) 5,108 - - 5,108 Alibaba Group equity securities 41,359,859 - - 41,359,859 Snap equity securities (2) 51,875 51,874 - 103,749 Hortonworks equity securities (2) 37,727 - - 37,727 Hortonworks warrants - - 34,200 34,200 Foreign currency derivative contracts (3) - 1,327 - 1,327 Financial assets at fair value $ 41,988,337 $ 6,843,499 $ 34,200 $ 48,866,036 Liabilities Foreign currency derivative contracts (3) - (17,210) - (17,210) Total financial assets and liabilities at fair value $ 41,988,337 $ 6,826,289 $ 34,200 $ 48,848,826 (1) The money market funds, government and agency securities, commercial paper and bank certificates of deposit, corporate debt securities, and time deposits are classified as part of either cash and cash equivalents or short or long-term marketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (2) Hortonworks, Snap and other corporate equity securities are classified as part of other long-term assets and investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (3) Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified as part of either current or noncurrent assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The notional amounts of the foreign currency derivative contracts were: $0.6 billion, including contracts designated as net investment hedges of $0.2 billion, as of December 31, 2016; and $0.4 billion, including contracts designated as net investment hedges of $0.2 billion, as of March 31, 2017. The amount of cash included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 was $705 million and $697 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 year ended December 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not make any transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 assets or liabilities. Hortonworks Warrants The estimated fair value of the Hortonworks warrants was $29 million and $34 million as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively, which is included in other long-term assets and investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $39 million and a gain of $5 million, respectively, due to the change in estimated fair value of the Hortonworks warrants during the respective periods, which was included within other (expense) income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Hortonworks warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model. Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Convertible Senior Notes In 2013, the Company issued $1.4 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 both December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 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 10 — “Convertible Notes” for additional information related to the Notes. Other Investments As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the Company held approximately $83 million and $33 million, respectively, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such investments are reviewed periodically for impairment. In March 2017, Snap Inc. (“Snap”) completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and its Class A common shares are now listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). As a result, the Company’s investment in Snap, which consists of both Class A and Class B common shares, is no longer included in investments in equity securities of privately-held companies that are accounted for using the cost method. Commencing with Snap’s IPO, the Company reflects its investment in Snap as an available-for-sale equity security on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and adjusts the investment to fair value each quarterly reporting period with changes in fair value recorded within other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax. The Company obtains the fair value of its investment in Class B common shares using the quoted prices of Snap’s Class A common shares on the NYSE since the shares are convertible into Class A common shares. Accordingly, the investment balance in Class B common shares is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement in the fair value hierarchy as the Company is using the quoted prices for similar assets in active markets to calculate the fair value of its investment in Class B common shares of Snap. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 4 Acquisitions and Dispositions The Company did not make any acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2017. 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 next five years (“Capture Period Patents”). 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 $22 million in revenue related to the Existing Patents and the Capture Period Patents during both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. The Company sold certain patents and recorded gains on sales of patents of approximately $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 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 Transaction”), 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 Transaction, 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 Transaction 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 Transaction 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 the 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 the 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 Transaction 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 Transaction, 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 Transaction, 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 Transaction, 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 Transaction is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Sale Transaction by the Company’s stockholders, the closing of the Reorganization, and certain other customary closing conditions. The special meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which they will vote whether to approve the Sale Transaction has been scheduled for June 8, 2017. |

Goodwill | Note 5 Goodwill The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands): Americas (1) EMEA (2) Asia Pacific (3) Total Net balance as of January 1, 2017 $ 123,985 $ - $ 291,824 $ 415,809 Foreign currency translation adjustments - - 14,654 14,654 Net balance as of March 31, 2017 $ 123,985 $ - $ 306,478 $ 430,463 (1) Gross goodwill balance for the Americas segment was $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2017. The Americas segment includes accumulated impairment losses of $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2017. (2) Gross goodwill balance for the EMEA segment was $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2017. The EMEA segment includes accumulated impairment losses of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2017. (3) Gross goodwill balance for the Asia Pacific segment was $465 million as of March 31, 2017. The Asia Pacific segment includes accumulated impairment losses of $159 million as of March 31, 2017. Given the partial impairment recorded in the Tumblr reporting unit in 2016, it is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the remaining goodwill of the Tumblr reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in market conditions and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the market comparables, estimated future cash flows and discount rates used in the market and income approaches to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future. |

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Yahoo! Inc. Common Stockholders per Share | Note 7 Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Yahoo! Inc. Common Stockholders per Share Basic and diluted net (loss) income 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 (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and consist of unvested restricted stock and the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefit from stock-based awards is no longer included in the calculation of diluted shares under the treasury stock method. This has been applied prospectively. The Company takes into account the effect on consolidated net (loss) income per share of dilutive securities of entities in which the Company holds equity interests that are accounted for using the equity method. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, potentially dilutive securities representing approximately 2 million shares of common stock 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 (loss) income per share also does not include any effect from the note hedges. In future periods, the denominator for diluted net (loss) income 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 neutralize the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the Notes. See Note 10 — “Convertible Notes” for additional information. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Basic: Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to Yahoo!

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 (dollars in thousands): December 31, 2016 Percent March 31, 2017 Percent Yahoo Japan $ 3,192,884 35.5% $ 2,841,100 35.5 % Equity Investment in Yahoo 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company makes adjustments to the earnings in equity interests line in the condensed 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 $9.3 billion as of March 31, 2017. 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: Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 2016 (In thousands) Operating data: Revenue $ 958,861 $ 1,232,624 Gross profit $ 754,739 $ 959,969 Income from operations $ 344,951 $ 450,513 Net income $ 234,514 $ 320,141 Net income attributable to Yahoo Japan $ 234,663 $ 321,283 September 30, December 31, 2016 2016 (In thousands) Balance sheet data: Current assets $ 7,155,657 $ 6,749,240 Long-term assets $ 4,332,498 $ 3,823,752 Current liabilities $ 2,866,924 $ 2,878,140 Long-term liabilities $ 435,253 $ 380,635 Noncontrolling interests $ 209,363 $ 176,597 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 $62 million and $66 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 9 Foreign Currency Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts and option contracts, to mitigate risk associated with adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company records all derivatives in the condensed 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 (loss) income 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 condensed 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 (expense) income, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For balance sheet hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded in other (expense) income, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into 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 condensed 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. Cash Flow Hedges. Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Balance Sheet Hedges. Notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 were as follows (in millions): December 31, March 31, 2016 2017 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Net investment hedge forward and option contracts $ 200 $ 200 Cash flow hedge forwards $ 19 $ 25 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Balance sheet hedges $ 342 $ 195 Foreign currency derivative activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was as follows (in millions): Beginning Settlement Gain (Loss) Gain (Loss) Gain Ending Fair Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Net investment hedges $ 74 $ (31) $ - $ (48) (*) $ - $ (5) Cash flow hedges $ 2 $ (1) $ - $ (3) $ (1) $ (3) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Balance sheet hedges $ 2 $ (1) $ (2) $ - $ - $ (1) (*) This amount does not reflect the tax impact of $17 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Convertible Notes | Note 10 Convertible Notes 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $1.4 billion in principal amount of Notes outstanding. 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 (the “Indenture”). 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. 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). As of March 31, 2017, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had been met. The Notes consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, March 31, 2016 2017 Liability component: Principal $ 1,437,500 $ 1,437,500 Less: note discount (137,555) (120,388) Net carrying amount $ 1,299,945 $ 1,317,112 Equity component (*) $ 305,569 $ 305,569 (*) Recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within additional paid-in capital.

Spain Westgaard On March 7, 2017, a stockholder derivative and class action captioned Spain v. Marissa Mayer, et al. Westgaard v. Marissa Mayer, et al. TCPA Litigation Concerning Yahoo Messenge . General. 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 March 31, 2017 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, two of which were voluntarily dismissed. 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, two putative stockholder class actions have been filed against Yahoo, and certain officers of Yahoo, on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock between November 12, 2013 and December 14, 2016, two additional putative class actions have been filed against certain current and former directors and officers of Yahoo on behalf of current shareholders of Yahoo, and six stockholder derivative actions have been filed purportedly on behalf of Yahoo against certain of 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. |

As of March 31, 2017, there was $603 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 2.7 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, 3.4 million shares and 3.6 million shares, respectively, that were subject to previously granted restricted stock units, vested. These vested restricted stock awards were net share settled. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company withheld 1.4 million shares and 1.5 million shares, respectively, 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 $42 million and $68 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 and are reflected as a financing activity within the condensed 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.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2017 | |
Income Taxes | Note 14 Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate is the result of the mix of income earned and losses incurred in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. Historically, the Company’s provision for income taxes has differed from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes, the effect of non-U.S. operations, non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, non-deductible acquisition-related costs, and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $35 million and $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The income tax benefits for both periods were primarily due to the Company’s loss before income taxes and earnings in equity interests. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 also included stock-based compensation benefits recognized resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-09. For implications of ASU 2016-09 adoption, see Note 1 – “The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information. As of December 31, 2016, the Company distributed most of the cumulative earnings in its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2017, there is no cumulative taxable temporary difference with respect to these foreign subsidiaries and therefore no incremental U.S. taxes were accrued. As of March 31, 2017, the Company does not have a plan to repatriate approximately $3.4 billion of earnings related to its equity method investment in Yahoo Japan. If the Company’s foreign earnings were to be distributed to the U.S. 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 Company’s gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2017 was $1.1 billion, of which $0.8 billion is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2017 decreased by less than $1 million from the recorded balance as of December 31, 2016. The Company is in various stages of examination and appeal in connection with its taxes both in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. Those audits generally span tax years 2005 through 2015. As of March 31, 2017, 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 $9 million in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the Company accrued deferred tax liabilities of $13.6 billion and $16.8 billion, respectively, 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 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 American Depositary Shares in Alibaba Group’s initial public offering 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 United States 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 March 31, 2017 totals approximately $150 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. |

Segments | Note 15 Segments The Company continues to manage its business geographically. The primary areas of measurement and decision-making are Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Asia Pacific. Management relies on an internal reporting process that provides revenue, revenue ex-TAC (which is defined as revenue less cost of revenue — TAC), direct costs excluding TAC by segment, and consolidated loss from operations for making decisions related to the evaluation of the financial performance of, and allocating resources to, the Company’s segments.

Microsoft Search Agreement
Microsoft Search Agreement | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2017 | |
Microsoft Search Agreement | Note 16 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. 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. 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 is required 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”) and will display only Microsoft’s paid search results on such search result pages. Prior to the Eleventh Amendment, the Company was entitled to receive a percentage of the revenue (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. Previously under the Microsoft Search Agreement, Yahoo had sales exclusivity for both the Company’s and Microsoft’s premium advertisers. For reporting periods ended 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. 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. Approximately 29 percent and 42 percent of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, $304 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 $392 million and $364 million, which is included in accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods. 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. |
Revenue Recognition - Search Revenue and Cost of Revenue - TAC | Revenue Recognition — Search Revenue and 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 to 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. 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): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Cost of revenue — TAC in transitioned markets (*) $ - $ 303,799 Reduction to revenue in transitioned markets $ 271,328 $ - (*) For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cost of revenue — TAC included $257 million in the Americas segment, $45 million in the EMEA segment, and $2 million in the Asia Pacific segment. See Note 16 — “Microsoft Search Agreement” for a description of the Search Agreement with Microsoft. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements . 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 (loss) as the Company’s marketable equity securities, primarily the Company’s investments in Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Group”), Hortonworks Inc. (“Hortonworks”), and Snap Inc. (“Snap”) 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 2016-09, “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, net of detriments (if any) are now recorded to the condensed 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 adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of the cumulative tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet was adjusted on a modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption, resulting in an increase to retained earnings of approximately $108 million. Also, prospectively beginning January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits, net of detriments have been reflected as an income tax benefit/expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulting in a $13 million tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this ASU also resulted in associated excess tax benefits being classified as an operating activity in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes in the statement of cash flows prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the adoption methodology applied, the statement of cash flows classification of prior periods has not been adjusted. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows statements since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Additional amendments to the accounting for minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company did not change its accounting principles relative to elements of this standard and continued its existing practice of estimating the number of awards that will be forfeited. 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. |
