Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to Bankrate, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) historical consolidated financial information, which have been presented to give effect to the disposition of NetQuote Holdings, Inc. and IQ Holdings, LLC (together the “Disposed Companies”). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 of the Company and its subsidiaries is presented as if the disposition had occurred as of September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 are presented as if the disposition had occurred on January 1, 2012.

The Company’s historical financial information was derived from its audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (as filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (as filed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC). The Company’s historical financial statements used in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with its historical financial statements and risk factors, all of which are included in the filings with the SEC noted above.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments and primary assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial position would have been if the transaction had occurred on the dates indicated and are not intended to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts that exist upon completion of the disposition.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except as noted)

1. Description of the Transaction and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Transaction

Effective December 29, 2015, Bankrate, Inc. (“Bankrate”, the “Company” or the “Seller”) competed the sale of (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NetQuote Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetQuote”), and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of IQ Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IQ Holdings” and together with NetQuote, the “Disposed Companies”), to All Web Leads, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“AWL” or the “Buyer”) pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated November 5, 2015, (the “Transaction”).  

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on December 29, 2015 the Buyer paid to Bankrate a purchase price comprised of (i) $140.0 million in cash at the closing of the Transaction, plus $200,000 for cash to remain at the Disposed Companies, and (ii) $23.5 million (the net “Deferred Payment Amount”) to be paid on the second anniversary of the closing date.  Closing working capital adjustments up to the first $2.0 million reduce the deferred payment, and any working capital adjustments in excess of $2.0 million are reductions to the closing cash consideration. The Deferred Payment Amount of $23.5 million consists of the deferred payment of $25.0 million, per the Purchase Agreement, net of working capital adjustments.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the Company’s historical financial information giving effect to the disposition of the Disposed Companies and related adjustments described in these notes. Certain note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC rules and regulations.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 

a. Adjustment to cash and cash equivalents to reflect cash consideration received from the disposition, net of estimated Seller transaction costs and estimated working capital adjustments; plus the amount of NetQuote Holdings, Inc. cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015 retained by the Company at closing, as follows:

b. Adjustments to reflect estimated income tax impacts related to the disposition and to reflect estimated tax expense (benefit) adjustment to the Company’s income taxes for the Disposed Companies. Taxes are recorded at the consolidated level. Pro forma income tax expense (benefit) has been calculated at the statutory rate of 37.5%, as adjusted for discrete items.

Estimated loss on sale, net of tax	$	(5,421)

These charges were not considered in the pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the periods presented, in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X 11-02(b)(5).

g. Adjustments related to revenues and cost of revenues between the Company’s subsidiaries and the Disposed Companies which have previously been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Contingencies

The Disposed Companies may be subject to sales taxes related to sourcing of certain revenue streams in certain state jurisdictions. An estimate of the amount or range of possible loss could not be estimated at the time of the Company’s September 30, 2015 Form 10-Q filing, as the Company needed to obtain additional information and perform certain analysis regarding these potential state taxes. During the fourth quarter 2015,  the Company accrued an estimated tax liability of approximately $11.9 million related to the Disposed Companies’ sales taxes and is making payments to the various states.

4. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations

Following are pro forma reconciliations from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest, income taxes, changes in fair value of contingent acquisition consideration, stock-based compensation, and other items such as loss on extinguishment of debt, legal settlements, acquisition, disposition, offering and related expenses, the impact of purchase accounting, restructuring charges, any impairment charge, and costs related to unusual governmental actions, the financial review process that was used to prepare the restatement of our financial statements (the “Internal Review”), the restatement of our financial statements and related litigation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
