	Description of Company

	Web.com Group, Inc. ("Web.com" or "the Company") provides a full range of internet services to small businesses to help them compete and succeed online. Web.com is a global domain registrar and further meets the needs of small businesses anywhere along their lifecycle with affordable, subscription-based solutions including website design and management, search engine optimization, online marketing campaigns, local sales leads, social media, mobile products, eCommerce solutions and call center services. For more information about the Company, please visit http://www.web.com. The Company does not incorporate information obtained, on or accessible through the Company's website into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and you should not consider it a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

	On October 27, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Net Sol Parent LLC (formerly known as GA-Net Sol Parent LLC) (“Network Solutions”), a provider of global domain names, web hosting and online marketing services. On July 30, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of the partnership interests in Register.com LP, another provider of domain names, online marketing and web services. Collectively, these acquisitions brought approximately 2.7 million subscribers that represent substantial cross- and up-sell opportunities. See Note 7, Business Combinations, in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 6, 2013 for additional information on these acquisitions.

	The Company has reviewed the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280-10, Segment Reporting, and has determined that the Company is comprised of only one segment, web services and products.

	Reclassifications

	In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an immaterial correction of an error related to the 2011 acquisition of Network Solutions was made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012. Goodwill, current deferred tax assets and the current portion of deferred revenue have been adjusted accordingly. In addition, the prior year reserve for credit card refunds of $1.2 million has been reclassified from accounts receivable to accrued expenses. The changes resulting from the correction to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):


	(in thousands)	December 31, 2012
		As Previously Reported		Amount Reclassified			As Reported Herein
	Deferred tax asset	$	18,092	$	(200	)	$	17,892

	Goodwill	$	628,176	$	(331	)	$	627,845

	Deferred revenue	$	191,149	$	(531	)	$	190,618


	Basis of Presentation

	The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

	The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except that certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or excluded as permitted.

	In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

	Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements. The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2013 and any subsequently filed current reports on Form 8-K.

	Use of Estimates

	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11") Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact, if any, on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	Earnings per Share

	Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated using net income (loss) and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share includes the effect from the potential issuance of common stock, such as common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares. However, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, 8.0 million and 8.8 million share-based awards, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares because including those securities would have been antidilutive.

	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

	In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset balances for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets below their carrying amount. As of December 31, 2012, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets and determined there were no indicators of impairment.

	The following table summarizes changes in the Company’s goodwill balances as required by ASC 350-20 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively (in thousands):

	Gross goodwill balances were $730.1 million* as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. This includes accumulated impairment losses of $102.3 million.
	(1)Goodwill decreased by approximately $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to finalizing the Network Solutions' income tax returns. In addition, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million is due to the correction of an immaterial error as further discussed in Note 1.

	Restructuring Costs

	The Company incurred restructuring charges for future service required by certain Network Solutions employees up to their scheduled termination dates throughout 2012 as well as for relocating employees. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reduced severance expenses by $0.3 million for individuals that had forfeited their benefits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded severance and relocation expenses of $0.8 million, net of forfeited benefits.

	On March 31, 2012, the Company exited its sales and customer support call center located in Belleville, Illinois. A $0.2 million reserve for the future minimum lease payments was also recorded as restructuring expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the net book value of the furniture and leasehold improvements was written off, resulting in a loss of $0.4 million which was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the general and administrative line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

	During September 2012, the Company early terminated its contract for telesales and marketing services with Red Ventures LLC and incurred a $1.5 million charge to exit the agreement. General Atlantic LLC is one of the Company's greater than 5 percent shareholders, and also has a 25 percent ownership interest in Red Ventures, see Note 9, Related Party Transactions, for additional information on the total expense between the Company and Red Ventures. The Company recorded the $1.5 million as restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

	The current portion of accrued restructuring as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $0.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The non-current accrued restructuring was $1.2 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	1% Senior Convertible Notes due August 15, 2018

	In August 2013, the Company issued $258.8 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Senior Convertible Notes due August 15, 2018 ("2018 Notes"). The 2018 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2014. The conversion price for the 2018 Notes is equivalent to an initial effective conversion price of approximately $35.00 per share of common stock. Proceeds, net of original issuance discounts and debt issuance costs, of $252.3 million were received from the 2018 Notes. The net proceeds were used to pay down $208.0 million of the First Lien Term Loan and $43.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility.

	The Company may not redeem the 2018 Notes prior to August 20, 2016. On or after August 20, 2016, we may redeem for cash any or all of the 2018 Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day as defined by the indenture. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, holders of the 2018 Notes may also convert their notes at any time prior to May 15, 2018 if the sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day as defined by the indenture. In addition, holders may also convert their notes any time prior to May 15, 2018 if during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate if the Company calls the notes for redemption; or upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

	Prior to August 20, 2016, the 2018 Notes are redeemable or convertible upon certain fundamental changes, as defined in the indenture, which may require us to purchase the 2018 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the purchase date. In addition, following certain types of fundamental changes, also described in the indenture, or a notice of redemption, the conversion rate increases for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such change or notice of redemption.

	The 2018 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and will be effectively junior to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including our borrowings under our First Lien Credit Agreement (discussed below).

	The Company determined that the embedded conversion option in the 2018 Notes is not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The 2018 Notes are within the scope of ASC 470, Topic 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires the Company to separate a liability component and an equity component from the proceeds received. The carrying amount of the liability component of $204.4 million was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated equity component. The fair value of the liability component was subtracted from the initial proceeds and the remaining amount of$47.8 million was recorded as the equity component. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount will be amortized to interest expense over the expected life using the effective interest method.

	Upon conversion or maturity of the 2018 Notes, the Company may settle the notes with either cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The Company has adopted a current policy to settle the $258.8 million of principal amount in cash and any excess conversion value in shares of our common stock. Because the principal amount of the 2018 Notes will be settled in cash upon conversion, only the conversion spread relating to the 2018 Notes may be included in our calculation of diluted net income per common share. When the market price of our stock exceeds the conversion price, as applicable, we will include, in the diluted net income per common share calculation, the effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon conversion using the treasury stock method. As such, the 2018 Notes have no impact on diluted net income per common share until the price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price (approximately $35.00 per common share) of the 2018 Notes.

	As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the debt and equity component was $205.6 million and $47.8 million, respectively. The unamortized debt discount of $53.2 million will be amortized over the remaining life of the 2018 Notes.

	First Lien Credit Agreement

	On October 27, 2011, the Company entered into credit facilities, pursuant to (i) a First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2011, by and among the Company, J. P. Morgan Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Co-Syndication Agents; Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC and SunTrust Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto ("the First Lien Credit Agreement") and (ii) a Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2011 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). The First Lien Credit Agreement originally provided for (i) a six-year first lien term loan (the “First Lien Term Loan”) and (ii) a five-year first lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Second Lien Credit Agreement originally provided for a seven-year second lien term loan (the “Second Lien Term Loan”).

	The Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement. In addition, there are customary covenants that limit the incurrence of debt, the payment of dividends, the disposition of assets, and making of certain payments. Substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets are pledged as collateral under the credit agreements.

	On March 6, 2013, the Company repriced its First Lien Term Loan and increased the outstanding balance to $660.0 million. In addition, the Company increased the maximum amount of available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to $70 million. After giving effect to the repricing, the First Lien Term Loan had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%, with a 1.0% LIBOR floor, and the revolving credit facility's interest rate is now 3.25% plus LIBOR. The proceeds received from the additional First Lien Term Loan were used to extinguish the Second Lien Term Loan's outstanding balance of $32.0 million.

	The repricing of the First Lien Term Loan and the payoff of the Second Lien Term Loan were both accounted for as debt extinguishments in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. In addition, the partial pay down of $208 million on the First Lien Term Loan, using proceeds from the August 2013 convertible debt issuance, was also accounted for as a debt extinguishment. As a result of the extinguishments, the Company recorded a $20.7 million loss from debt extinguishment from accelerating unamortized deferred financing fees and loan origination discounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to both instruments. Included in the loss is $7.2 million of prepayment penalties that were paid during the first quarter of 2013 related to the extinguishment of the Second Lien Term Loan and repricing of the First Lien Term Loan.

	After considering the two debt transactions discussed above, the net reduction in the Company's outstanding long-term debt from principal payments totaled $53.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Outstanding long-term debt and the interest rates in effect at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consist of the following (in thousands):


		September 30,			December 31,

	Debt discount and issuance costs

	The Company recorded $1.6 million and $3.1 million of interest expense from amortizing debt issuance costs and discount costs during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $2.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, was recorded.

	The First Lien Term Loan has repayment terms that are based on the excess cash flow generated by the Company as defined by the agreement. Excess cash flow payments are required to be made during the quarter following the calendar year ended. The Company has forecasted the excess cash flows expected to be generated during the year ended December 31, 2013 and reflected the estimate as current maturities, net of prepayments made through September 30, 2013. Subsequent to that, the minimum principal payments, excluding the excess cash flow payments, are presented due to the significant estimates required in determining such amounts. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has satisfied the excess cash flow payment requirements with the principal payments that have been made during the year. Total estimated principal payments due for the next five years are as follows:


	Year 1	$	6,600

	Year 2	6,600

	Year 3	6,600

Year 4	6,600

Fair Value	'
	Fair Value

	The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

	Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	Level 2-Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

	Level 3-Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

	The Company has financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accruals carrying value approximates fair market value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to the short maturity of these items. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s total long term debt was $685.8 million. As of December 31, 2012, the combined fair value of the Company's First Lien and Second Lien Term Loans was $657.2 million. The fair value of the First Lien Loan and the 2018 Notes, including the equity component, were calculated by taking the quoted market price for the instruments multiplied by the principal amount. This is based on a Level 2 fair value hierarchy calculation obtained from quoted market prices for the Company’s long-term debt instruments that may not be actively traded at each respective period end. The Revolving Credit Facility is a variable rate debt instrument indexed to 1-Month LIBOR that resets monthly and the fair value approximates the carrying value as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

	The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

	The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except that certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or excluded as permitted.

	In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013, and the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

	Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements. The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2013 and any subsequently filed current reports on Form 8-K.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates

	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11") Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact, if any, on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
