ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
First Quarter 2005 Earnings Announcement
On April 27, 2005 Ask Jeeves, Inc. (“we” or “Ask Jeeves”) issued a press release reporting first quarter 2005 consolidated financial results. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
As previously announced, Ask Jeeves’ management intends to hold a conference call to discuss these financial results and its business outlook. The conference call is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, April 27, 2005. A live Web cast of the conference call will be available on the “Investors” section of Ask Jeeves’ Web site (http:// www.irconnect.com/askjinc/index.html).
Key operational metric data and other financial and statistical information not included in the earnings release may be discussed on the call and will be posted on the above Web site before the call begins. (The pro forma financial data in this posting will be accompanied by reconciliations to GAAP results, as discussed below.) This posting, along with the Web cast, will be archived on the same Web site under the sub-category “Earnings Releases” for at least three months.
Explanatory Note regarding Pro Forma Information
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Ask Jeeves’ earnings release contains pro forma income measures. The tables attached to the earnings release also (a) present pro forma EBITDA and (b) include a pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations which shows each pro forma component of pro forma income. These pro forma metrics were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and might be calculated differently than similarly-titled pro forma measures presented by other companies. In calculating pro forma income, Ask Jeeves adjusted its GAAP-basis net income to exclude the effects of amortization of other assets and other items which management believes do not reflect Ask Jeeves’ core business performance, as listed on the reconciliation table attached to this report. In calculating pro forma EBITDA, Ask Jeeves further adjusts pro forma income to exclude income tax provision, net interest and other income and depreciation. Attached to the earnings release are reconciliation tables explaining how these pro forma measures are derived from the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The attached pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations presents a complementary explanation of how Ask Jeeves calculated pro forma income.
Ask Jeeves’ management believes that the presentations of pro forma income and pro forma EBITDA (as well as the pro forma statement of operations) are useful to investors and other interested persons because those metrics exclude items which management believes are less directly attributable (than the included items) to the underlying performance of what Ask Jeeves considers to be its core business operations and, thus, the pro forma presentations provide additional insights into Ask Jeeves’ core operating results. In addition, Ask Jeeves has provided similar pro forma income (loss) metrics in previous earnings releases and believes that investors and other interested persons will find the current pro forma data useful for comparing the Company’s current report with its prior reports. Management refers to these pro forma measures to facilitate internal comparisons between the reporting periods, in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.
2
There are limitations associated with Ask Jeeves’ approach to calculating pro forma metrics. For example under Ask Jeeves’ approach, pro forma metrics do not reflect (a) amortization of stock based compensation, (b) amortization of other intangible assets, (c) transaction costs related to merger and acquisition activities that did not (or have not yet) come to fruition, (d) the write-off of obsolete equipment, (e) gains on joint venture acquisitions or dissolutions, (f) restructuring costs from corporate downsizing or (g) realized gains or losses on investments, disposals of assets or foreign exchange transactions. In any given reporting period, some or all of those items will cause pro forma results to differ from GAAP results. As mentioned above, Ask Jeeves’ earnings release includes a table reconciling the non-GAAP measures presented therein with the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as required by SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the table for a description of the extent to which each of the above exclusions caused pro forma results for the period to differ from GAAP results for the period. In the case of forward-looking pro forma data, Ask Jeeves’ earnings release describes the primary cause of the difference between the forward-looking pro forma guidance and projected GAAP results. It would be impractical for Ask Jeeves to supply a more-detailed reconciliation in the case of forward-looking pro forma guidance because the necessary information is not available. Forward-looking guidance does not, of course, reflect any effect that currently unanticipated events might have on Ask Jeeves’ financial performance for the projected periods. As a result of these limitations, Ask Jeeves’ pro forma measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance that are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Ask Jeeves Reports First Quarter Results
-Ask Jeeves posts first quarter revenues of $94.9 million-
-First quarter pro forma income of $0.37 per share-
-First quarter GAAP net income of $0.26 per share-
OAKLAND, Calif., April 27, 2005— Ask Jeeves, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASKJ; the “Company”) today reported results for the first quarter 2005.
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $94.9 million. These first quarter results represent 142% growth over revenues of $39.2 million for the comparable year-ago quarter.
“Ask Jeeves achieved another record quarter, building strong momentum for the rest of 2005 and beyond,” said Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Ask Jeeves, Inc. “Our flagship Ask Jeeves site had more unique users than ever before and our Fun Web Products business had its best quarter ever. We acquired Bloglines, the market leading RSS aggregator, and sharpened our core differentiation with advancements in our proprietary algorithmic search technology. We believe our progress underscores that we have strong strategic assets in place to continue to grow market share in the fast-growing search market.”
Pro forma income for the first quarter was $25.8 million, or $0.37 per share. For the comparable year-ago quarter, Ask Jeeves’ pro forma income was $13.5 million, or $0.23 per share. Pro forma results contained in this release exclude items described below and should be evaluated in light of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Under GAAP, Ask Jeeves’ net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $18.1 million, or $0.26 per share. This compares to net income on a GAAP basis of $13.4 million, or $0.23 per share, for the comparable year-ago quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $109.9 million on March 31, 2005. Ask Jeeves completed its acquisition of Interactive Search Holdings, Inc. (“ISH”) on May 6, 2004. Accordingly, the Company’s results include the financial results of the ISH properties after the closing date.
Business Outlook
The following business outlook contains forward-looking statements describing management’s current expectations for the future. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements
1
are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, some of which are listed or referred to in the cautionary note below. The business outlook is stated on a stand-alone basis, without adjustment for the Company’s pending acquisition by IAC.
“We are very pleased with our first quarter results. We had record revenues, earnings and traffic,” said Steve Sordello, CFO of Ask Jeeves, Inc. “Driven by strong query growth, our search revenue grew 16% sequentially. This is particularly exciting as we are just beginning to expand into the large global search market. We are projecting continued strong financial growth while investing more in key areas such as marketing and the user-experience for even greater growth in 2006.”
Second Quarter 2005
For the second quarter of 2005, Ask Jeeves anticipates revenues of $94 million and pro forma income of approximately $21.5 million, or $0.31 per share. Ask Jeeves anticipates that GAAP net income for the second quarter will be $0.21 per share. The anticipated difference between second quarter GAAP basis net income and pro forma income results primarily from non-cash amortization of intangible assets. The earnings per share forecast assumes a share count of 69.5 million shares.
2005 Business Outlook
For the full year, Ask Jeeves currently anticipates revenues of approximately $380 to $395 million and pro forma income of approximately $1.30 to $1.45 per share. GAAP net income is expected to be $0.90 to $1.05 per share. The anticipated difference between full-year 2005 GAAP basis net income and pro forma income results primarily from non-cash amortization of intangible assets. The earnings per share forecast assumes a share count of 70.0 million shares.
Pro Forma Results
Ask Jeeves’ pro forma results are calculated by adjusting GAAP net income to exclude the effects of items that management believes are not directly related to the underlying performance of Ask Jeeves’ core business operations. A table reconciling the Company’s pro forma income to GAAP net income is included with the condensed consolidated financial statements attached to this release. The principal differences between the Company’s pro forma and GAAP results are the exclusion of amortization of intangible and other assets and stock-based compensation. Please refer to the reconciliation table for a full list of the adjustments. Ask Jeeves’ pro forma measures may be different from pro forma measures used or reported by other companies, and should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for nor superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Pending Acquisition by IAC
On March 21, 2005 Ask Jeeves signed an agreement to be acquired by IAC/Interactive Corp. (Nasdaq:IACI; “IAC”). Under the agreement, which is subject to approval by Ask Jeeves’ stockholders and other customary conditions, Ask Jeeves will merge with a newly formed subsidiary of IAC and Ask Jeeves stockholders will receive 1.2668 shares of IAC common stock
2
for each share they hold of Ask Jeeves common stock at the time of the merger. Ask Jeeves will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC. The transaction is currently expected to close late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter.
More information about the proposed merger will be set forth in a combined proxy statement/prospectus that will be mailed to Ask Jeeves stockholders prior to a special meeting of Ask Jeeves stockholders at which stockholder approval of the merger will be sought.
Conference Call Scheduled for 5 p.m. Eastern time on April 27, 2005
Ask Jeeves will hold a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2005 results, and its business outlook for the second quarter and the year 2005, at 5 p.m. Eastern time on April 27, 2005. A more-detailed outlook will be presented on the call than is contained in this release. Interested persons can listen to a live broadcast of the conference call on the “Investors” section of Ask Jeeves’ Web site (http://www.irconnect.com/askjinc/index.html).

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements regarding the future are forward-looking statements, including those regarding the Company’s expectations or potential for future growth, the proposed merger with IAC, expectations regarding future or anticipated events or developments, and all financial forecasts, including those regarding revenue and productivity metrics, cash flow, net income, pro forma income, revenue growth and pro forma earnings per share of the Company. The forward-looking statements in this press release are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and other uncertainties and are based on limited information available to Ask Jeeves at this time, which is subject to change. Ask Jeeves’ actual results in the future may differ materially from management’s current expectations. Although management’s expectations and the information known or available to management may change after the date of this release, Ask Jeeves undertakes no obligation to revise or update the guidance or other statements made above. The lack of any revision or update is not meant to imply continued affirmation of guidance or other forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause or contribute to actual results differing from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: Ask Jeeves’ dependence on a third-party paid placement provider; the risk that the proposed IAC merger might not close; the risk that acquisitions (including the IAC merger) might not be integrated successfully or yield expected benefits or synergies; the risk of further vertical consolidation in the Internet search and keyword advertising markets; risks associated with rapid technological change; risks that innovations by competitors might cause Ask Jeeves’ user base to migrate to other search engines, or that Ask Jeeves search volume might otherwise decline; risks associated with relying on third parties for search toolbar distribution; the risk that companies’ internet advertising budgets might contract
3
or grow at a slower pace; Ask Jeeves’ dependence on third parties for some types of content, distribution and advertising delivery; potential lack of market acceptance of Ask Jeeves’ advertising products; introduction of new advertising products or search technologies by competitors; declines in the average selling price of Ask Jeeves’ advertising products; and adverse economic conditions in any of the major countries or markets in which Ask Jeeves does business or to which its Web content is targeted. As a relatively short announcement, this press release cannot present a full discussion of all relevant risks. Further information on risk factors that could affect Ask Jeeves’ financial results is included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ask Jeeves encourages investors to read all of the disclosures in its SEC filings for a broader discussion of important factors that may be material to investors and may affect Ask Jeeves’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
