	Description of Business
	United Online, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "United Online" or the "Company"), through its operating subsidiaries, provides consumer services and products over the Internet under a number of brands, including NetZero, Juno, Classmates, StayFriends, and MyPoints. The Company reports its business in two reportable segments: Communications and Content & Media. The Company's primary Communications service is Internet access. The Company's Content & Media segment provides social networking services and products and a loyalty marketing service. On a combined basis, the Company's web properties attract a significant number of Internet users and the Company offers a broad array of Internet marketing services for advertisers.
	On November 1, 2013, United Online, Inc. consummated the separation of FTD Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "FTD") from United Online, Inc. through a tax-free distribution of all FTD Companies, Inc. common stock held by United Online, Inc. to United Online, Inc.'s stockholders (the "FTD Spin-Off Transaction"). On October 31, 2013, immediately prior to the completion of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, United Online, Inc. implemented a one-for-seven reverse stock split of shares of United Online, Inc. common stock. Accordingly, the results of operations, the financial condition and the cash flows of FTD have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Further, except as noted, all United Online, Inc. common stock share information and related per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split of shares of United Online, Inc. common stock.
	Prior to the completion of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, United Online, Inc. and FTD entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement, each dated October 31, 2013, that govern the post-separation relationship. In addition, United Online, Inc. and FTD entered into a Transition Services Agreement, dated October 31, 2013, as amended January 2, 2014, under which United Online, Inc. agreed to provide FTD with various services on an interim, transitional basis, generally for a period of up to 12 months.
	The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Woodland Hills, California, and the Company also maintains offices in Seattle, Washington; Erlangen, Germany; Berlin, Germany; San Francisco, California; Schaumburg, Illinois; Fort Lee, New Jersey; and Hyderabad, India.
	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods.
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
	The most significant areas of the consolidated financial statements that require management judgment include the Company's revenue recognition, goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, member redemption liability, income taxes, contingent consideration, and legal contingencies. The accounting policies for these areas are discussed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements.
	The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and other obligations through at least the next 12 months.
	Accounting Policies
	Segments—The Company complies with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. Management measures and reviews segment performance for internal reporting purposes in accordance with the "management approach" defined in ASC 280. The reportable segments identified in Note 2 below are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and which have a maturity date within three months from the date of purchase.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were maintained primarily with major financial institutions and brokerage firms in the United States ("U.S."), Germany and India. Deposits with these institutions and firms generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
	Accounts Receivable—The Company's accounts receivable are derived primarily from revenues earned from advertising customers located in the U.S. and pay accounts. The Company extends credit based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable and, to date, such losses have been within management's expectations.
	The Company evaluates specific accounts receivable where information exists that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, based on the best available facts and circumstances, a specific allowance is recorded for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount of the allowance. Also, an allowance is established for all customers based on the aging of the receivables. If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected delinquencies or an unexpected material adverse change in a customer's ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company are adjusted.
	At December 31, 2014, one customer comprised approximately 16% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2013, one customer comprised approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any individual customers that comprised more than 10% of total revenues.
	Inventories—Inventories consist of finished goods, including gift cards related to the Company's member redemption liability, mobile broadband service devices, and modems. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories also consist of work-in-process mobile broadband service devices, which have not yet been loaded with Company firmware required for functionality. The Company's management regularly assesses the valuation of inventory and reviews inventory quantities on hand and, if necessary, records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on the age of the inventory and forecasts of product demand, as well as markdowns for the excess of cost over the amount we expect to realize from the sale of certain inventory. The Company recorded charges totaling $1.1 million, $0.6 million and a $1.2 million for the markdown of mobile broadband service inventory-related balances during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally three to five years for computer software and equipment and three to seven years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements, which are included in furniture and fixtures, are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or seven years. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the Company's consolidated financial statements with the resulting gain or loss reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
	Derivative Instruments—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the risk that its cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company records derivative instruments in other current assets or accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of derivatives as other income, net, or technology and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations or in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not contain any credit risk-related contingent features. The Company's hedging program is not designed for trading or speculative purposes.
	Net Investment Hedges—For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment, the gain or loss is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets to the extent the hedge is effective, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in accrued liabilities or other current assets, respectively. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Gains or losses related to any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are recognized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company presents the cash flows of net investment hedges in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
	Cash Flow Hedges—The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge certain forecasted expense transactions occurring up to 12 months in the future and denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company initially reports the gains or losses related to the effective portion of the hedges as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets and subsequently reclassifies the forward foreign currency exchange contracts' gains or losses to technology and development expenses when the hedged transactions are recorded in earnings. The Company excludes the change in the time value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts from its assessment of their hedge effectiveness. Gains or losses related to the change in time value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are immediately recognized in other income, net, along with any ineffectiveness. The Company presents the cash flows from cash flow hedges in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for the cash flows from the hedged items.
	Other Derivatives—Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that the Company uses to hedge intercompany transactions and partially offset the economic effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company recognizes realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts in other income, net. The Company presents the cash flows of other derivatives in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
	For additional information related to derivative instruments, see Note 5—"Derivative Instruments".
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments—ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). In accordance with ASC 820, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters. If market observable inputs for model-based valuation techniques are not available, the Company will be required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use in estimating the fair value of the financial instrument. Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. Time deposits, which are included in cash equivalents, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values based on third-party inputs. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are calculated based on income approach observable market inputs adjusted for counterparty risk of nonperformance. The key assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these derivative instruments are the forward foreign currency exchange rates and discount rate.
	Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which among other things, addresses financial accounting and reporting requirements for acquired goodwill. ASC 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and requires the Company to test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment at least annually.
	The Company tests the goodwill of its reporting units for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key management or other personnel, significant changes in the manner of the Company's use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the acquired business or the Company's overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results of operations.
	Testing goodwill for impairment involves a two-step quantitative process. However, prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test for selected reporting units. If the Company chooses the qualitative option, the Company is not required to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test unless it has determined, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the two-step quantitative impairment test is required or chosen, the first step of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, including goodwill, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, then the carrying amount of the goodwill is compared with its implied fair value, which is determined by deducting the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit's identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit, and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
	The process of estimating the fair value of goodwill is subjective and requires the Company to make estimates that may significantly impact the outcome of the analyses. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit is determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach is weighted at 75%, unless a meaningful base of market data is unavailable, in which case, the market approach is not used. Under the income approach, each reporting unit's fair value is estimated based on the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is dependent upon a number of factors, including projections of the amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows, assumed discount rates and other assumptions. Under the market approach, using the guideline company method, each reporting unit's fair value was estimated by multiplying the reporting unit's assessed sustainable level of revenues and normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") by selected revenue and EBITDA multiples based on market statistics of identified public companies comparable to the respective reporting unit.
	Finite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets—The Company accounts for identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposition of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recorded at management's estimate of their fair values. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment when events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of an asset, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, shifts in technology, loss of key management or other personnel, significant negative industry or economic trends, changes in the Company's operating model or strategy, and competitive forces. In determining if an impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If an impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying amounts and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the respective fair values of the assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years.
	Member Redemption Liability—Member redemption liability for loyalty marketing service points represents the estimated costs associated with the obligation of MyPoints.com, Inc. ("MyPoints") to redeem outstanding points accumulated by its loyalty marketing service members, less an allowance for points expected to expire prior to redemption. The estimated cost of points is primarily presented in cost of revenues, except for the portion related to member acquisition activities, internal marketing surveys and other non-revenue generating activities, which are presented in sales and marketing expenses. The member redemption liability is recognized when members earn points, less an allowance for points expected to expire, and is reduced when members redeem accumulated points upon reaching required redemption thresholds.
	MyPoints members may redeem points for third-party gift cards and other rewards. Members earn points when they respond to direct marketing offers delivered by MyPoints, purchase goods or services from advertisers, engage in certain promotional campaigns of advertisers, or engage in other specified activities.
	The member redemption liability is estimated based upon the weighted-average cost and number of points that may be redeemed in the future. The weighted-average cost of points is calculated by taking the total cost of items fulfilled divided by total points redeemed. MyPoints purchases gift cards and other awards from merchants at a discount and sets redemption levels for its members. The discounts and points needed to redeem awards vary by merchant and award denomination. MyPoints has the ability to adjust the number of points required to redeem awards to reflect changes in the cost of awards.
	MyPoints accounts for and reduces the gross points issued by an estimate of points that will never be redeemed by its members. This reduction is calculated based on an analysis of historical point-earning trends, redemption activities and individual member account activity. MyPoints' historical analysis takes into consideration the total points in members' accounts that have been inactive for six months or longer, less an estimated reactivation rate, plus an estimate for future cancelations of points that have not yet been outstanding for 180 days. Changes in, among other factors, the net number of points issued, redemption activities and members' activity levels could materially impact the member redemption liability.
	Points in active MyPoints accounts do not expire; however, unredeemed points expire after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. For purposes of the member redemption liability, "inactive" means a lack of all of the following: email response; survey completion; profile update; and any point-earning or point-redeeming transaction. The canceling or disabling of inactive MyPoints accounts would have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the Company fully considers inactive MyPoints accounts when establishing the member redemption liability, as discussed above.
	Contingent Consideration—The Company measures its contingent consideration liability at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration—fair value adjustment includes changes in fair value measurements of the contingent consideration, as well as interest expense related to the contingent consideration, and is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The current and noncurrent portions of the related liability are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Revenue Recognition—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, no significant Company obligations remain, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected.
	Revenues are comprised of services revenues, which are derived primarily from fees charged to pay accounts; advertising and other revenues; and products revenues, which are derived primarily from the sale mobile broadband service devices and mobile phones, including the related shipping and handling fees; from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints, including the related shipping and handling fees; and from the sale of third-party merchandise.
	Service revenues for the Company's Communications services and for its social networking services are derived primarily from fees charged to pay accounts and are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related services are provided to the customer. The Company's pay accounts generally pay in advance for their services by credit card, PayPal, automated clearinghouse or check, and revenues are then recognized ratably over the service period. Advance payments from pay accounts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue. The Company offers alternative payment methods to credit cards for certain Communications pay service plans. These alternative payment methods currently include payment by money order or payment through a local telephone company. In circumstances where payment is not received in advance, revenues are only recognized if collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Advertising revenues from the Company's Communications services and from its social networking services consist primarily of amounts from its Internet search partner that are generated as a result of users utilizing the partner's Internet search services, amounts generated from display advertisements, and amounts generated from referring members to third-party websites or services. The Company recognizes such advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed or, for performance-based arrangements, when the related performance criteria are met. In determining whether an arrangement exists, the Company ensures that a written contract is in place, such as a standard insertion order or a customer-specific agreement. The Company assesses whether performance criteria have been met and whether the fees are fixed or determinable based on a reconciliation of the performance criteria and the payment terms associated with the transaction. The reconciliation of the performance criteria generally includes a comparison of the Company's internally-tracked performance data to the contractual performance obligation and, when available, to third-party or customer-provided performance data.
	The Company's Communications products revenues are generated from the sale of mobile broadband service devices and mobile phones, as well as the related activation fees and shipping and handling fees and are recognized upon delivery of such devices as this is considered a separate earnings process from the sale of Communications services. Sales of mobile broadband service devices bundled with free service plans and paid service plans, and activation fees, are allocated using the relative selling price method in accordance with the multiple-element arrangement provisions of ASC 605. The selling prices of the Company's mobile broadband paid service plans are determined by vendor specific objective evidence, which is based upon the monthly stand-alone selling price of each plan. The selling prices of the mobile broadband service devices and free service plans are determined by management's best estimate of selling price, which considers market and economic conditions, internal costs, pricing, and discounting practices. The revenues allocated to the free service plans are recognized ratably over the service period. Activation fees received up front in excess of the amount allocated to the mobile broadband devices are deferred and recognized as service revenues over the estimated service period.
	Advertising and other revenues for the Company's loyalty marketing service consist primarily of fees generated when emails are transmitted to members, when members respond to emails and when members complete online transactions. Each of these activities is a discrete, independent activity, which generally is specified in the agreement with each advertising customer. As the earning activities take place, activity measurement data (examples include the number of emails delivered and the number of responses received) is accumulated and the related revenues are recorded. The Company's loyalty marketing service also generates revenues from the sale of gift cards.
	The Company's social networking products revenues are derived from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints, including the related shipping and handling fees. Products revenues from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints are recognized upon delivery to the customer. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the related products revenues are recognized and are included in products revenues. Shipping costs are included in cost of revenues.
	Probability of collection is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If it is determined that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is not recognized until collectibility becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
	Cost of Revenues—Cost of revenues primarily includes product costs; shipping and delivery costs; printing and postage costs; costs of points earned by members of the Company's loyalty marketing service; telecommunications and data center costs; depreciation of network computers and equipment; license fees; costs related to providing customer support; costs related to customer billing and billing support for the Company's pay accounts; domain name registration fees; and personnel and overhead-related costs associated with operating the Company's networks and data centers.
	Sales and Marketing—Sales and marketing expenses include expenses associated with promoting the Company's brands, services and products and with generating advertising revenues. Expenses associated with promoting the Company's brands, services and products include advertising and promotion expenses; fees paid to distribution partners, third-party advertising networks and co-registration partners to acquire new pay and free accounts; personnel and overhead-related expenses for marketing, merchandising, customer service, and sales personnel; and telemarketing costs incurred to acquire and retain pay accounts and up-sell pay accounts to additional services. Expenses associated with generating advertising revenues include sales commissions and personnel-related expenses. The Company has expended significant amounts on sales and marketing, including branding and customer acquisition campaigns consisting of television, Internet, public relations, sponsorships, print, and outdoor advertising, and on retail and other performance-based distribution relationships. Marketing and advertising costs to promote the Company's services and products are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses include media, agency and promotion expenses. Media production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. Media and agency costs are expensed over the period the advertising runs. Advertising and promotion expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $29.7 million, $34.1 million and $40.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company did not have any prepaid advertising and promotion expenses.
	Technology and Development—Technology and development expenses include expenses for product development, maintenance of existing software, technology and websites, and development of new or improved software and technology, including personnel-related expenses for the Company's technology group in various office locations. Costs incurred by the Company to manage and monitor the Company's technology and development activities are expensed as incurred.
	Software Development Costs—The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop software for internal use in accordance with ASC 350, which requires such costs be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The Company capitalizes costs associated with customized internal- use software systems that have reached the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases at the point in which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The Company capitalized costs associated with internal-use software totaling $6.8 million and $5.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over each project's estimated useful life, which is generally three years. Capitalized internal-use software is included in the computer software and equipment category within property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets.
	General and Administrative—General and administrative expenses, which include unallocated corporate expenses, consist of personnel-related expenses for executive, finance, legal, human resources, facilities, internal audit, investor relations, internal customer support personnel, and personnel associated with operating our corporate network systems. In addition, general and administrative expenses include, among other costs, professional fees for legal, accounting and financial services; insurance; occupancy and other overhead-related costs; office relocation costs; non-income taxes; gains and losses on sales of assets; bad debt expense; and reserves or expenses incurred as a result of settlements, judgments, fines, penalties, assessments, or other resolutions related to litigation, arbitration, investigations, disputes, or similar matters. General and administrative expenses also include expenses resulting from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin offs, financing transactions, and other strategic transactions, including, without limitation, expenses for advisors and representatives such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, and accounting firms.
	Restructuring and Other Exit Costs—Restructuring and other exit costs consist of costs associated with the realignment and reorganization of the Company's operations and other employee termination events. Restructuring and other exit costs include employee termination costs, facility closure and relocation costs, and contract termination costs. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of exit cost and can extend over a 12-month period. The Company records restructuring and other exit costs liabilities in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including restricted stock units, stock awards, stock options, and employee stock purchases. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option-pricing model. The Company values its restricted stock units based on the grant-date closing price of the Company's common stock. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for valuing stock options. The Company's assumptions about stock price volatility are based on the Company's historical volatility for periods approximating the expected life of options granted. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method because the Company does not have adequate historical data to estimate expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods on a straight-line basis in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. ASC 718 also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to calculate the amount of share-based payment awards ultimately expected to vest. The Company uses the "with and without" approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from share-based payment awards in additional paid- in capital in the consolidated balance sheets if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of share-based payment awards on other tax attributes in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Comprehensive Income—The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non- owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income primarily consists of its reported net income, changes in unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, net of tax, and foreign currency translation.
	Foreign Currency Translation—The Company accounts for foreign currency translation in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The functional currency of each of the Company's international subsidiaries is its respective local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Income Taxes—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of the Company's tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
	In connection with the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, the Company entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with FTD. The Tax Sharing Agreement generally will govern the Company's and FTD's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the consummation of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), including as a result of Section 355(e) of the Code. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, with certain exceptions, FTD generally will be responsible for the payment of all income and non-income taxes attributable to its operations or the operations of its subsidiaries, and FTD will indemnify the Company for these taxes. With certain exceptions, the Company generally will be responsible for the payment of all other income and non-income taxes, including consolidated U.S. federal income taxes of the United Online tax reporting group for which FTD is severally liable, and the Company will indemnify FTD for these taxes. The Company and FTD generally will be jointly responsible for any taxes that arise from the failure of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code, if such failure is for any reason for which neither the Company nor FTD is responsible.
	Earnings Per Share—The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company's restricted stock units are considered participating securities because they contain non- forfeitable rights to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest.
	Legal Contingencies—The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and investigations. The Company records liabilities related to pending matters when an unfavorable outcome is deemed probable and management can reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss. As additional information becomes available, the Company continually assesses the potential liability related to such pending matters.
	Operating Leases—The Company leases office space, data centers, and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements with original lease periods of up to ten years. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. Rent holidays and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, as codified in ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update state 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. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The core principle of the guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the new definition of a discontinued operation. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The core principle of the guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205- 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Pushdown Accounting. The amendments in this update provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The amendments in this update became effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity could make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	2012 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
	The MyPoints reporting unit typically generates higher revenues and operating income in the quarter ending December 31 when compared to the other quarters. In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, revenues and operating income were substantially lower than expected. The Company lowered its forecast for future periods, which resulted in the determination that the estimated fair value of the MyPoints reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Accordingly, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test was performed. Based on the results of the second step, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge totaling $26.6 million. The impairment charge was included in impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets in the consolidated statements of operations.
	2013 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
	During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, due to a decline in internal financial projections, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill assessment for its Classmates reporting unit. Due to the complexity and the effort required to estimate the fair value of the Classmates reporting unit in step one of the impairment test and to estimate the fair value of all assets and liabilities of the Classmates reporting unit in step two of the test, the fair value estimates were derived based on preliminary assumptions and analysis that are subject to change. Based on the Company's preliminary analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially lower than the carrying value of goodwill for the Classmates reporting unit. As a result, the Company recorded its best estimate of $52.8 million for the goodwill impairment charge during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company recorded an adjustment of $2.7 million to the estimated impairment charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, for a total impairment charge of $55.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The impairment charge was included in impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets in the consolidated statements of operations.
	2014 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
	The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment for all of its reporting units during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The Company did not perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The first step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test resulted in the determination that the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. Accordingly, the second step was not required.

	Reverse Stock Split
	On October 31, 2013, United Online, Inc. effected a one-for-seven reverse stock split of shares of United Online, Inc. common stock. United Online, Inc. common stock share information and related per share amounts prior to October 31, 2013 have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split of shares of United Online, Inc.
	Dividends
	Dividends are paid on shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date. In addition, dividend equivalents are generally paid on nonvested restricted stock units outstanding as of the record date.
	In January, April, July, and October 2012, United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.70 per share of common stock, as adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split. The dividends were paid on February 29, 2012, May 31, 2012, August 31, 2012, and November 30, 2012 and totaled $9.3 million, $9.4 million, $9.4 million, and $9.4 million, respectively, including dividend equivalents paid on nonvested restricted stock units.
	In January, April, and July 2013, United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.70 per share of common stock, as adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split. The dividends were paid on February 28, 2013, May 31, 2013, and August 30, 2013 and totaled $9.4 million, $9.7 million, and $9.7 million, respectively, including dividend equivalents paid on nonvested restricted stock units. In November 2013, United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. The dividends were paid on November 29, 2013 and totaled $2.2 million, including dividend equivalents paid on nonvested restricted stock units.
	In January 2014, the Company announced that United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors determined to discontinue cash dividend payments in order to provide financial flexibility to support anticipated long-term growth initiatives.
	Common Stock Repurchases
	In May 2001, United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the "Program") that allows United Online, Inc. to repurchase shares of its common stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions based on prevailing market conditions and other factors. From time to time since then, the Board of Directors has increased the amount authorized for repurchase under this Program and has extended the Program. From August 2001 through December 31, 2010, United Online, Inc. had repurchased $150.2 million of its common stock under the Program, leaving $49.8 million of authorization remaining under the Program. In February 2011, the Board of Directors extended the Program through December 31, 2011 and authorized an increase in the $49.8 million authorization remaining to $80.0 million. In December 2011, the Board of Directors extended the Program through December 31, 2012. In January 2013, the Board of Directors approved and ratified the extension of the Program through December 31, 2013, and in September 2013, the Board of Directors further extended the Program through December 31, 2014. In October 2014, the Board of Directors further extended the Program through December 31, 2015. There were no repurchases under the Program during the year ended December 31, 2014 and, at December 31, 2014, the authorization remaining under the Program was $80.0 million.
	Shares withheld upon the vesting of restricted stock units and upon the issuance of stock awards to pay minimum statutory employee withholding taxes are considered common stock repurchases, but are not counted as purchases against the Program. Upon vesting of most restricted stock units or issuance of stock awards, we currently do not collect the minimum statutory withholding taxes from employees. Instead, we automatically withhold, from the restricted stock units that vest and from the stock awards that are issued, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory employee withholding taxes due, which is accounted for as a repurchase of common stock. We then pay the minimum statutory employee withholding taxes in cash. The amounts remitted in the years ended 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $2.8 million, $4.3 million, and $2.6 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld 0.3 million, 0.3 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the restricted stock units that vested.

	The Company has one active equity plan, the 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated as of June 13, 2013 (the "Plan"), under which, in general, the Company is authorized to grant restricted stock units, stock awards and stock options.
	Restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a one- to four-year period under a variety of vesting schedules and are canceled upon termination of employment. Restricted stock units granted to non-employee members of United Online, Inc.'s Board of Directors generally vest annually over a one-year period.
	Stock options granted to employees generally vest over a three- or four- year period under a variety of vesting schedules and are canceled upon termination of employment. Stock option grants expire after ten years unless canceled earlier due to termination of employment.
	Upon the exercise of a stock option award, the vesting of a restricted stock unit or the award of common stock or restricted stock, shares of common stock are issued from authorized but unissued shares. Pursuant to the Plan, each restricted stock unit and stock award granted decreases shares available for grant by three shares and cancelations of such shares increase the shares available for grant by three shares.
	At December 31, 2014, there were 15.8 million aggregate shares reserved for issuance and 12.2 million shares available for grant under the Plan.

	The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2012 was $5.39 and $2.02, respectively. The Company did not grant any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0, $1.5 million, and $6,000, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0, $5.1 million and $5,000, respectively. Tax benefits realized from stock options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2013 was $1.2 million, prior to consideration of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012. At December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was $3.2 million and was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.
	The fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
	Risk-free interest rate			1.87	%
	Expected term (in years)			5.96
	Dividend yield			0	%
	Volatility			48.93	%
	Employee Stock Purchase Plans
	In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company's 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan expired in 2011 following the completion of the final purchase thereunder. In November 2013, the Company adopted a revised 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This plan had 1.2 million shares of the common stock reserved and available for issuance at December 31, 2014.
	Under the employee stock purchase plans, each eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of his or her compensation to purchase shares of United Online, Inc.'s common stock on two purchase dates each year at a purchase price per share equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing market price per share of United Online, Inc.'s common stock on the employee's entry date into the two-year offering period in which the purchase date occurs or (ii) the closing market price per share of United Online, Inc.'s common stock on the purchase date. Each offering period has a 24-month duration and purchase intervals of six months.
	The fair value of employee stock purchase plan shares was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
			Year Ended December 31,
			2014			2013			2012
	Risk-free interest rate			0.2	%		0.2	%		0.2	%
	Expected term (in years)			0.5 – 2.0			0.5 – 2.0			0.5 – 2.0
	Dividend yield			1.0	%		8.1	%		7.6	%
	Volatility			43.7	%		40.4	%		37.4	%
	The assumptions presented in the table above represent the weighted average of the applicable assumptions used to value employee stock purchase plan shares. The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of United Online, Inc.'s common stock. The expected term represents the amount of time remaining in the 24-month offering period. The risk-free interest rate assumed in valuing the employee stock purchase plan shares is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected annual dividend by the closing market price of United Online, Inc.'s common stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was $1.1 million and was expected to be recognized over a weighted- average period of 0.7 years.

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	898		$	(244	)
Realization of the net deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the Company having sufficient taxable income within the carryback and carryforward periods to obtain a benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences, utilization of tax credit carryforwards, and utilization of net operating loss carrybacks and carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes. The determination of whether the deferred tax assets will actually be realized is subjective and requires management's judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including taxable income in prior carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, applicable tax planning strategies, and forecasts of future income, including the consideration of carryback availability as a source of taxable income to realize deferred tax assets.
In assessing the realization of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014, based on the carryback availability, the Company believes that it was more likely than not that the Company will realize a benefit of $2.5 million related to its domestic deductible differences. All of the remaining domestic net deferred tax assets, excluding indefinite-lived assets, will be subject to a valuation allowance as they are not expected to be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance totaling $48.2 million for net unrealizable deferred tax assets, excluding indefinite-lived assets, was recorded at December 31, 2014.
Subsequent to the FTD Spin-Off Transaction in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company performed an extensive evaluation for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, excluding indefinite-lived assets. In its evaluation of positive and negative evidence, the Company determined that the negative evidence was more persuasive, which led the Company to record a full valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets, excluding indefinite-lived assets and net operating loss carryback. The Company had a valuation allowance totaling $48.2 million and $47.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to reduce domestic net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. The valuation allowance relates to domestic net deferred tax assets, including federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, member redemption liability and foreign tax credit carryforwards.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits totaling $8.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of which $8.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, would have an impact on the Company's effective income tax rate, if recognized. The effective income tax rate impact is inclusive of changes in valuation allowance resulting from recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits (before federal impact of state items), excluding interest and penalties, was as follows (in thousands):
	Year Ended December 31,

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local jurisdictions, Germany, and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), certain state and local, and foreign tax authorities. The audits are in varying stages of completion. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by tax authorities. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, case law developments and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes, as appropriate. Tax years prior to 2009 are generally not subject to examination by the IRS and state, local and foreign jurisdictions, except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open.
At December 31, 2014, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that its gross liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $6.4 million within the next 12 months due to audit settlements and expiration of statute of limitations.
The Company had accrued $2.7 million and $2.8 million for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, all of which is included in income taxes payable. The Company recognized changes in net accrued interest and penalties totaling $(0.1) million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, U.S. income taxes were not provided on $7.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries because such earnings have been permanently reinvested in foreign operations. If these earnings were repatriated to the U.S., the Company would not expect to owe additional U.S. income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryovers.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, net income tax benefits (shortfalls) attributable to stock-based compensation from continuing operations that were allocated to stockholders' equity totaled $(0.2) million, $1.3 million and $(0.4) million, respectively.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards totaling $87.5 million, $54.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2018, the state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2016 and the foreign net operating loss carryforwards generally have an indefinite life. These carryforwards have been adjusted to reflect the Company's estimate of limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $4.3 million of foreign tax credit carryovers, which will begin to expire in 2019. Due to the ownership change provisions under Section 382, use of a portion of the Company's domestic net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited in future periods in the event of another ownership change.
On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with FTD. The Tax Sharing Agreement specifies the portion of tax liabilities for which the Company and FTD will each bear responsibility, and the Company and FTD have agreed to indemnify each other against amounts for which the other is not responsible. Although the Tax Sharing Agreement was entered into by the Company and FTD, the Tax Sharing Agreement is not binding on the IRS or any other taxing authority.

	The Company has been cooperating with certain governmental authorities in connection with their respective investigations of its former post-transaction sales practices and certain other current or former business practices.
	•	In 2010, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM Inc. received subpoenas from the Attorney General for the State of Kansas and the Attorney General for the State of Maryland, respectively. These subpoenas were issued on behalf of a Multistate Work Group that currently consists of the Attorneys General for the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. The inquiry concerns certain post-transaction sales practices in which these companies previously engaged with certain third-party vendors and certain auto-renewal practices of Classmates, Inc. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company received an offer of settlement from the Multistate Work Group consisting of certain injunctive relief and the consideration of two areas of monetary relief: (1) restitution to consumers and (2) a $20 million payment by Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM for the violations alleged by the Multistate Work Group and to reimburse the Multistate Work Group for its investigation costs. The Company rejected the Multistate Work Group's offer. The Company has since had ongoing discussions with the Multistate Work Group regarding a negotiated resolution. In December 2013, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. proposed to the Multistate Work Group to resolve the matter without admitting liability by making a settlement payment of $2.2 million. In February 2014, the Multistate Work Group responded to the Company's settlement offer of $2.2 million with a counter offer of (1) $17.5 million plus (2) restitution by Classmates, Inc. to a group of purchasers of its subscription services. The Multistate Work Group did not provide an explanation as to how the $17.5 million was determined or the proposed allocation of such counter offer between Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM Inc. In addition, the Multistate Work Group did not propose a limit on the amount of such restitution. The parties continued settlement discussions and offers and in June 2014, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. proposed to the Multistate Work Group to resolve the matter without admitting liability by making a settlement payment of $5 million plus an additional total $1 million payment for making restitution to a group of purchasers of Classmates, Inc.'s subscription services. In July 2014 the Multistate Work Group sent Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM a revised Consent Decree containing a demand for a cash payment of $12.5 million plus restitution to a group of purchasers of Classmates, Inc.'s subscription services up to a maximum of $5 million as part of the relief provided for. However, to the extent the restitution claims exceed $2 million, the $12.5 million payment would be reduced dollar for dollar up to a maximum credit of $3 million. In September 2014 Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM provided the Multistate Work Group with a counter-proposal in the amount of $7 million plus a restitution payment to a group of purchasers of Classmates, Inc.'s subscription services of up to $2 million, and to the extent restitution payments to consumers total less than $2 million, then Classmates, Inc. shall remit the balance of the restitution account to the Attorneys General. In October 2014 the Multistate Work Group sent Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM a revised Consent Decree containing a demand for a cash payment of $9 million plus restitution to a group of purchasers of Classmates, Inc.'s subscription services up to a maximum of $4 million as part of the relief provided for. The Consent Decree further provides that if Classmates, Inc.'s payments to consumers total less than $4 million, then Classmates, Inc. shall, remit the balance of the restitution account to the Attorneys General. In December 2014 Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. proposed to the Multistate Work Group to resolve the matter without admitting liability by making a payment of $8 million and restitution up to a maximum of $2.5 million. In January 2015 the Multistate Work Group responded to Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc.'s December 2014 offer by seeking a payment from Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. in the amount of $8 million and restitution up to a maximum of $3 million. The Consent Decree further provides that if Classmates, Inc.'s payments to consumers total less than $3 million, then Classmates, Inc. shall, remit the balance of the restitution account to the Attorneys General. While settlement discussions are ongoing, there can be no assurances as to the terms on which the Multistate Work Group and Classmates, Inc. may agree to settle this matter (and how such settlement may affect Classmates, Inc.'s ongoing business), or that any settlement of this matter may be reached. If no settlement is reached, certain Attorneys General of the Multistate Work Group may file litigation against Classmates, Inc. and, in the event of litigation, Classmates, Inc. intends to vigorously defend itself.
	•	In 2011, Classmates, Inc. received a civil investigative demand from the Attorney General for the State of Washington regarding its marketing, refund, cancelation, and renewal practices. Prior to that, in 2009, Classmates, Inc. had received a civil investigative demand from the Attorney General for the State of Washington regarding certain post-transaction sales practices in which it had previously engaged with certain third-party vendors. In 2012, the Attorney General for the State of Washington joined the aforementioned Multistate Work Group. The Company believes that by joining the Multistate Work Group, the Attorney General's investigation may have been consolidated into the Multistate Work Group's inquiry.
	Prior to the completion of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, the Company and FTD Companies, Inc. entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"). The Separation Agreement addresses, among other things, the control and settlement of certain litigation matters that relate to the Company (and certain subsidiaries) and FTD Companies, Inc. (and certain subsidiaries), including the ongoing matters relating to the Multistate Work Group. The Separation Agreement also provides for the allocation of liabilities and expenses between the Company and FTD Companies, Inc. with respect to these matters. It also establishes procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification, insurance claims and related matters.
	The Company cannot predict the outcome of these or any other governmental investigations or other legal actions or their potential implications for its business. In addition, the Company, at times, has negotiated resolutions related to certain governmental investigations. For example, in 2010, Classmates, Inc. (then known as Classmates Online, Inc.) paid $960,000 to resolve an investigation of the Attorney General for the State of New York related to its former post-transaction sales practices; and in July 2013, Classmates, Inc. (formerly known as Memory Lane, Inc.) paid $300,000 to resolve an investigation of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia related to its former post-transaction sales practices. There are no assurances that additional governmental investigations or other legal actions will not be instituted in connection with the Company's former post-transaction sales practices or other current or former business practices.
	The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages; (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions, or settlements; (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. At December 31, 2014, the Company had reserves totaling $8.2 million for estimated losses related to certain of the matters noted above. With respect to the legal matters described above, excluding the Multistate Work Group's inquiry of Classmates, Inc., the Company has determined, based on its current knowledge, that the amount of possible loss or range of loss, including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. As such, even though the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to its legal matters, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

	Yearbook App
	On December 5, 2013, Classmates, Inc. ("Classmates"), a subsidiary of United Online, Inc., acquired the Yearbook App for approximately $0.8 million in cash. The Yearbook App is a Facebook application that helps users find and re-connect with past classmates. The primary reason for the acquisition was to acquire the Yearbook App subscription customer relationships and developed technology, which had a total estimated fair value of $0.4 million upon acquisition. The effect of increased engagement with the Classmates website and members contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of Yearbook App's net liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The Yearbook App's results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and are immaterial. The purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets. The purchase price allocation is considered final. The weighted-average amortizable life of the acquired intangible assets is 5 years. The $0.4 million of goodwill acquired is deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma effect of the transaction is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
	schoolFeed, Inc.
	On June 8, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Classmates completed the acquisition of schoolFeed, Inc. ("schoolFeed"), owner of the schoolFeed Facebook app. Classmates acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of schoolFeed from the stockholders for consideration of $7.5 million in cash upon closing and a maximum of $27.5 million of contingent consideration payments payable upon the achievement of certain performance objectives. The acquisition strengthened the Classmates business domestically by providing the opportunity for our members to reconnect and interact with more of their high school friends and acquaintances.
	The contingent consideration payments were calculated based on the number of individuals who (i) install the schoolFeed app or register for schoolFeed via the schoolFeed registration process and (ii) the number of eligible new subscribers who convert to pay accounts, all subject to certain conditions. The contingent consideration is measured based on three annual earnout periods ending June 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and if earned, will be paid annually shortly after the closing of each earnout period. The range of the amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $27.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized at the Closing Date was estimated at $9.4 million using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The key assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the contingent consideration included estimated probabilities of U.S. and other target market daily registrations; mean growth rates of 0% to 18% for U.S. registrations and 0% to 14% for other target market registrations, each with a standard deviation of 50%, during the earnout periods; an estimated rate of conversion of new subscribers to pay accounts; and a discount rate of 19.5%. Changes to one or multiple inputs to the Monte-Carlo simulation, including the discount rate, growth rates, volatility rates, the estimated number of daily registrations, and the estimated rate of conversion of new subscribers to pay accounts, could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration.
	During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Facebook restricted certain functionality of the schoolFeed app, which limited schoolFeed's ability to use the Facebook platform to contact users who were not registered members of schoolFeed. Subsequently, in May 2013, Facebook discontinued the schoolFeed app's access to the Facebook platform, which resulted in the termination of future new installations of the schoolFeed app through Facebook, as well as the discontinuance of the sharing of Facebook content through the schoolFeed app.
	At June 30, 2013, the Company had accrued $3.4 million for the contingent consideration payment for the earnout period ended June 30, 2013, which was paid in full in August 2013. There was no contingent consideration earned for the earnout period ended June 30, 2014, and the Company does not currently expect any contingent consideration will be earned for the earnout period ending June 30, 2015.
	The total cost of the schoolFeed acquisition was estimated to equal approximately $16.9 million based on fair values estimated at the Closing Date. The following table summarizes the components of the purchase price (in thousands):
	Cash consideration		$	7,500
	Fair value of contingent consideration			9,397
	Total fair value of consideration transferred		$	16,897
	In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred $0.5 million in transaction-related costs in the year ended December 31, 2012, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
	The preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the Closing Date, as summarized below (in thousands). The Company believes that the recorded fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions. The purchase price allocation is considered final.
	Description		Estimated			Estimated
			Fair Value			Amortizable
						Life
	Net liabilities assumed:
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	59
	Other current assets (including accounts receivable)			78
	Other noncurrent assets			8
	Accounts payable and other liabilities			(153	)
	Deferred tax liabilities			(2,742	)
	Total net liabilities assumed			(2,750	)

	Trademarks and trade names			600		7 years
	Total intangible assets acquired			7,190
	Goodwill			12,457
	Total purchase price		$	16,897
	The primary reason for the acquisition was to, among other things, increase the free and pay membership base of the Classmates business by extending its presence through Facebook. These factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of schoolFeed's net liabilities as of the date of acquisition and, as a result, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. The goodwill was attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and is included in the Content & Media segment. Goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of schoolFeed is not deductible for tax purposes. The weighted- average amortizable life of the definite-lived acquired intangible assets is 5.2 years.
	schoolFeed's revenues and earnings for the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2012 were immaterial.
	The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the schoolFeed acquisition occurred on January 1, 2011 (in thousands):

	In connection with the preparation of the Company's provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that the accounting for income taxes in the prior periods needed to be revised. In addition, the revisions in the accounting for income taxes also contributed to an increase to the goodwill impairment charge recorded by its Classmates reporting unit during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company's prior-period financial statements were revised in connection with the filing of the Company's Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

	Dec. 31, 2014
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods.
Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
	The most significant areas of the consolidated financial statements that require management judgment include the Company's revenue recognition, goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, member redemption liability, income taxes, contingent consideration, and legal contingencies. The accounting policies for these areas are discussed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements.
Segments	Segments—The Company complies with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. Management measures and reviews segment performance for internal reporting purposes in accordance with the "management approach" defined in ASC 280. The reportable segments identified in Note 2 below are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and which have a maturity date within three months from the date of purchase.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were maintained primarily with major financial institutions and brokerage firms in the United States ("U.S."), Germany and India. Deposits with these institutions and firms generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable—The Company's accounts receivable are derived primarily from revenues earned from advertising customers located in the U.S. and pay accounts. The Company extends credit based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable and, to date, such losses have been within management's expectations.
	The Company evaluates specific accounts receivable where information exists that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these cases, based on the best available facts and circumstances, a specific allowance is recorded for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount of the allowance. Also, an allowance is established for all customers based on the aging of the receivables. If circumstances change (i.e., higher than expected delinquencies or an unexpected material adverse change in a customer's ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company are adjusted.
	At December 31, 2014, one customer comprised approximately 16% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2013, one customer comprised approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any individual customers that comprised more than 10% of total revenues.
Inventories	Inventories—Inventories consist of finished goods, including gift cards related to the Company's member redemption liability, mobile broadband service devices, and modems. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories also consist of work-in-process mobile broadband service devices, which have not yet been loaded with Company firmware required for functionality. The Company's management regularly assesses the valuation of inventory and reviews inventory quantities on hand and, if necessary, records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on the age of the inventory and forecasts of product demand, as well as markdowns for the excess of cost over the amount we expect to realize from the sale of certain inventory. The Company recorded charges totaling $1.1 million, $0.6 million and a $1.2 million for the markdown of mobile broadband service inventory-related balances during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally three to five years for computer software and equipment and three to seven years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements, which are included in furniture and fixtures, are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or seven years. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the Company's consolidated financial statements with the resulting gain or loss reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the risk that its cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company records derivative instruments in other current assets or accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of derivatives as other income, net, or technology and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations or in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not contain any credit risk-related contingent features. The Company's hedging program is not designed for trading or speculative purposes.
	Net Investment Hedges—For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment, the gain or loss is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets to the extent the hedge is effective, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in accrued liabilities or other current assets, respectively. The Company utilizes the forward-rate method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Gains or losses related to any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are recognized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company presents the cash flows of net investment hedges in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
	Cash Flow Hedges—The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge certain forecasted expense transactions occurring up to 12 months in the future and denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company initially reports the gains or losses related to the effective portion of the hedges as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets and subsequently reclassifies the forward foreign currency exchange contracts' gains or losses to technology and development expenses when the hedged transactions are recorded in earnings. The Company excludes the change in the time value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts from its assessment of their hedge effectiveness. Gains or losses related to the change in time value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are immediately recognized in other income, net, along with any ineffectiveness. The Company presents the cash flows from cash flow hedges in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for the cash flows from the hedged items.
	Other Derivatives—Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that the Company uses to hedge intercompany transactions and partially offset the economic effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company recognizes realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts in other income, net. The Company presents the cash flows of other derivatives in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
	For additional information related to derivative instruments, see Note 5—"Derivative Instruments".
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments—ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). In accordance with ASC 820, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters. If market observable inputs for model-based valuation techniques are not available, the Company will be required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use in estimating the fair value of the financial instrument. Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. Time deposits, which are included in cash equivalents, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values based on third-party inputs. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are calculated based on income approach observable market inputs adjusted for counterparty risk of nonperformance. The key assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these derivative instruments are the forward foreign currency exchange rates and discount rate.
Goodwill	Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which among other things, addresses financial accounting and reporting requirements for acquired goodwill. ASC 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and requires the Company to test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment at least annually.
	The Company tests the goodwill of its reporting units for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key management or other personnel, significant changes in the manner of the Company's use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the acquired business or the Company's overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results of operations.
	Testing goodwill for impairment involves a two-step quantitative process. However, prior to performing the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test for selected reporting units. If the Company chooses the qualitative option, the Company is not required to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test unless it has determined, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the two-step quantitative impairment test is required or chosen, the first step of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, including goodwill, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, then the carrying amount of the goodwill is compared with its implied fair value, which is determined by deducting the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit's identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit, and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
	The process of estimating the fair value of goodwill is subjective and requires the Company to make estimates that may significantly impact the outcome of the analyses. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit is determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach is weighted at 75%, unless a meaningful base of market data is unavailable, in which case, the market approach is not used. Under the income approach, each reporting unit's fair value is estimated based on the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is dependent upon a number of factors, including projections of the amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows, assumed discount rates and other assumptions. Under the market approach, using the guideline company method, each reporting unit's fair value was estimated by multiplying the reporting unit's assessed sustainable level of revenues and normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") by selected revenue and EBITDA multiples based on market statistics of identified public companies comparable to the respective reporting unit.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets	Finite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets—The Company accounts for identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposition of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recorded at management's estimate of their fair values. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment when events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may indicate that an asset is impaired include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of an asset, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, a change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, shifts in technology, loss of key management or other personnel, significant negative industry or economic trends, changes in the Company's operating model or strategy, and competitive forces. In determining if an impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If an impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying amounts and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the respective fair values of the assets. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to ten years.
Member Redemption Liability	Member Redemption Liability—Member redemption liability for loyalty marketing service points represents the estimated costs associated with the obligation of MyPoints.com, Inc. ("MyPoints") to redeem outstanding points accumulated by its loyalty marketing service members, less an allowance for points expected to expire prior to redemption. The estimated cost of points is primarily presented in cost of revenues, except for the portion related to member acquisition activities, internal marketing surveys and other non-revenue generating activities, which are presented in sales and marketing expenses. The member redemption liability is recognized when members earn points, less an allowance for points expected to expire, and is reduced when members redeem accumulated points upon reaching required redemption thresholds.
	MyPoints members may redeem points for third-party gift cards and other rewards. Members earn points when they respond to direct marketing offers delivered by MyPoints, purchase goods or services from advertisers, engage in certain promotional campaigns of advertisers, or engage in other specified activities.
	The member redemption liability is estimated based upon the weighted-average cost and number of points that may be redeemed in the future. The weighted-average cost of points is calculated by taking the total cost of items fulfilled divided by total points redeemed. MyPoints purchases gift cards and other awards from merchants at a discount and sets redemption levels for its members. The discounts and points needed to redeem awards vary by merchant and award denomination. MyPoints has the ability to adjust the number of points required to redeem awards to reflect changes in the cost of awards.
	MyPoints accounts for and reduces the gross points issued by an estimate of points that will never be redeemed by its members. This reduction is calculated based on an analysis of historical point-earning trends, redemption activities and individual member account activity. MyPoints' historical analysis takes into consideration the total points in members' accounts that have been inactive for six months or longer, less an estimated reactivation rate, plus an estimate for future cancelations of points that have not yet been outstanding for 180 days. Changes in, among other factors, the net number of points issued, redemption activities and members' activity levels could materially impact the member redemption liability.
	Points in active MyPoints accounts do not expire; however, unredeemed points expire after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. For purposes of the member redemption liability, "inactive" means a lack of all of the following: email response; survey completion; profile update; and any point-earning or point-redeeming transaction. The canceling or disabling of inactive MyPoints accounts would have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the Company fully considers inactive MyPoints accounts when establishing the member redemption liability, as discussed above.
Contingent Consideration	Contingent Consideration—The Company measures its contingent consideration liability at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration—fair value adjustment includes changes in fair value measurements of the contingent consideration, as well as interest expense related to the contingent consideration, and is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The current and noncurrent portions of the related liability are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). ASC 605 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, no significant Company obligations remain, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected.
	Revenues are comprised of services revenues, which are derived primarily from fees charged to pay accounts; advertising and other revenues; and products revenues, which are derived primarily from the sale mobile broadband service devices and mobile phones, including the related shipping and handling fees; from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints, including the related shipping and handling fees; and from the sale of third-party merchandise.
	Service revenues for the Company's Communications services and for its social networking services are derived primarily from fees charged to pay accounts and are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related services are provided to the customer. The Company's pay accounts generally pay in advance for their services by credit card, PayPal, automated clearinghouse or check, and revenues are then recognized ratably over the service period. Advance payments from pay accounts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue. The Company offers alternative payment methods to credit cards for certain Communications pay service plans. These alternative payment methods currently include payment by money order or payment through a local telephone company. In circumstances where payment is not received in advance, revenues are only recognized if collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Advertising revenues from the Company's Communications services and from its social networking services consist primarily of amounts from its Internet search partner that are generated as a result of users utilizing the partner's Internet search services, amounts generated from display advertisements, and amounts generated from referring members to third-party websites or services. The Company recognizes such advertising revenues in the period in which the advertisement is displayed or, for performance-based arrangements, when the related performance criteria are met. In determining whether an arrangement exists, the Company ensures that a written contract is in place, such as a standard insertion order or a customer-specific agreement. The Company assesses whether performance criteria have been met and whether the fees are fixed or determinable based on a reconciliation of the performance criteria and the payment terms associated with the transaction. The reconciliation of the performance criteria generally includes a comparison of the Company's internally-tracked performance data to the contractual performance obligation and, when available, to third-party or customer-provided performance data.
	The Company's Communications products revenues are generated from the sale of mobile broadband service devices and mobile phones, as well as the related activation fees and shipping and handling fees and are recognized upon delivery of such devices as this is considered a separate earnings process from the sale of Communications services. Sales of mobile broadband service devices bundled with free service plans and paid service plans, and activation fees, are allocated using the relative selling price method in accordance with the multiple-element arrangement provisions of ASC 605. The selling prices of the Company's mobile broadband paid service plans are determined by vendor specific objective evidence, which is based upon the monthly stand-alone selling price of each plan. The selling prices of the mobile broadband service devices and free service plans are determined by management's best estimate of selling price, which considers market and economic conditions, internal costs, pricing, and discounting practices. The revenues allocated to the free service plans are recognized ratably over the service period. Activation fees received up front in excess of the amount allocated to the mobile broadband devices are deferred and recognized as service revenues over the estimated service period.
	Advertising and other revenues for the Company's loyalty marketing service consist primarily of fees generated when emails are transmitted to members, when members respond to emails and when members complete online transactions. Each of these activities is a discrete, independent activity, which generally is specified in the agreement with each advertising customer. As the earning activities take place, activity measurement data (examples include the number of emails delivered and the number of responses received) is accumulated and the related revenues are recorded. The Company's loyalty marketing service also generates revenues from the sale of gift cards.
	The Company's social networking products revenues are derived from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints, including the related shipping and handling fees. Products revenues from the sale of yearbooks and yearbook reprints are recognized upon delivery to the customer. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the related products revenues are recognized and are included in products revenues. Shipping costs are included in cost of revenues.
	Probability of collection is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If it is determined that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is not recognized until collectibility becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.
Cost of Revenues	Cost of Revenues—Cost of revenues primarily includes product costs; shipping and delivery costs; printing and postage costs; costs of points earned by members of the Company's loyalty marketing service; telecommunications and data center costs; depreciation of network computers and equipment; license fees; costs related to providing customer support; costs related to customer billing and billing support for the Company's pay accounts; domain name registration fees; and personnel and overhead-related costs associated with operating the Company's networks and data centers.
Sales and Marketing	Sales and Marketing—Sales and marketing expenses include expenses associated with promoting the Company's brands, services and products and with generating advertising revenues. Expenses associated with promoting the Company's brands, services and products include advertising and promotion expenses; fees paid to distribution partners, third-party advertising networks and co-registration partners to acquire new pay and free accounts; personnel and overhead-related expenses for marketing, merchandising, customer service, and sales personnel; and telemarketing costs incurred to acquire and retain pay accounts and up-sell pay accounts to additional services. Expenses associated with generating advertising revenues include sales commissions and personnel-related expenses. The Company has expended significant amounts on sales and marketing, including branding and customer acquisition campaigns consisting of television, Internet, public relations, sponsorships, print, and outdoor advertising, and on retail and other performance-based distribution relationships. Marketing and advertising costs to promote the Company's services and products are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses include media, agency and promotion expenses. Media production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. Media and agency costs are expensed over the period the advertising runs. Advertising and promotion expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $29.7 million, $34.1 million and $40.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company did not have any prepaid advertising and promotion expenses.
Technology and Development	Technology and Development—Technology and development expenses include expenses for product development, maintenance of existing software, technology and websites, and development of new or improved software and technology, including personnel-related expenses for the Company's technology group in various office locations. Costs incurred by the Company to manage and monitor the Company's technology and development activities are expensed as incurred.
Software Development Costs	Software Development Costs—The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop software for internal use in accordance with ASC 350, which requires such costs be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The Company capitalizes costs associated with customized internal- use software systems that have reached the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases at the point in which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The Company capitalized costs associated with internal-use software totaling $6.8 million and $5.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over each project's estimated useful life, which is generally three years. Capitalized internal-use software is included in the computer software and equipment category within property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets.
General and Administrative	General and Administrative—General and administrative expenses, which include unallocated corporate expenses, consist of personnel-related expenses for executive, finance, legal, human resources, facilities, internal audit, investor relations, internal customer support personnel, and personnel associated with operating our corporate network systems. In addition, general and administrative expenses include, among other costs, professional fees for legal, accounting and financial services; insurance; occupancy and other overhead-related costs; office relocation costs; non-income taxes; gains and losses on sales of assets; bad debt expense; and reserves or expenses incurred as a result of settlements, judgments, fines, penalties, assessments, or other resolutions related to litigation, arbitration, investigations, disputes, or similar matters. General and administrative expenses also include expenses resulting from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin offs, financing transactions, and other strategic transactions, including, without limitation, expenses for advisors and representatives such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, and accounting firms.
Restructuring and Other Exit Costs	Restructuring and Other Exit Costs—Restructuring and other exit costs consist of costs associated with the realignment and reorganization of the Company's operations and other employee termination events. Restructuring and other exit costs include employee termination costs, facility closure and relocation costs, and contract termination costs. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of exit cost and can extend over a 12-month period. The Company records restructuring and other exit costs liabilities in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including restricted stock units, stock awards, stock options, and employee stock purchases. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option-pricing model. The Company values its restricted stock units based on the grant-date closing price of the Company's common stock. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for valuing stock options. The Company's assumptions about stock price volatility are based on the Company's historical volatility for periods approximating the expected life of options granted. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method because the Company does not have adequate historical data to estimate expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods on a straight-line basis in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. ASC 718 also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to calculate the amount of share-based payment awards ultimately expected to vest. The Company uses the "with and without" approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from share-based payment awards in additional paid- in capital in the consolidated balance sheets if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of share-based payment awards on other tax attributes in the consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income—The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non- owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income primarily consists of its reported net income, changes in unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, net of tax, and foreign currency translation.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation—The Company accounts for foreign currency translation in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The functional currency of each of the Company's international subsidiaries is its respective local currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes—The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of the Company's tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
	In connection with the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, the Company entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with FTD. The Tax Sharing Agreement generally will govern the Company's and FTD's respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the consummation of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction with respect to taxes, including ordinary course of business taxes and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the distribution to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), including as a result of Section 355(e) of the Code. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, with certain exceptions, FTD generally will be responsible for the payment of all income and non-income taxes attributable to its operations or the operations of its subsidiaries, and FTD will indemnify the Company for these taxes. With certain exceptions, the Company generally will be responsible for the payment of all other income and non-income taxes, including consolidated U.S. federal income taxes of the United Online tax reporting group for which FTD is severally liable, and the Company will indemnify FTD for these taxes. The Company and FTD generally will be jointly responsible for any taxes that arise from the failure of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code, if such failure is for any reason for which neither the Company nor FTD is responsible.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share—The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company's restricted stock units are considered participating securities because they contain non- forfeitable rights to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest.
Legal Contingencies	Legal Contingencies—The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and investigations. The Company records liabilities related to pending matters when an unfavorable outcome is deemed probable and management can reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss. As additional information becomes available, the Company continually assesses the potential liability related to such pending matters.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases—The Company leases office space, data centers, and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements with original lease periods of up to ten years. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. Rent holidays and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, as codified in ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update state 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. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The core principle of the guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the new definition of a discontinued operation. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The core principle of the guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205- 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Pushdown Accounting. The amendments in this update provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The amendments in this update became effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity could make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
