SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2005--
Company Posts Full Year Revenues of $3,575 Million, Operating Income
of $689 Million, Operating Income Before Depreciation

Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) today reported results for the fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2004.
"Yahoo! moved at an impressive pace in the fourth quarter, capping
another record year for the Company. Our users were more engaged in
2004 than ever before because of Yahoo!'s relentless focus on
delivering the most innovative products and services on the Internet,"
said Terry Semel, chairman and chief executive officer, Yahoo!.
"Yahoo! also benefited from the growing acceptance of online
advertising with marketers who recognize its effectiveness and are
therefore increasingly using this platform to reach their consumers."
-- Revenues were $1,078 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, a
62 percent increase compared to $664 million for the same
period of 2003.
-- Revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs ("TAC") were $785
million for the fourth quarter of 2004, a 54 percent increase
compared to $511 million for the same period of 2003.
-- Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $691 million,
a 56 percent increase compared to $443 million for the same
period of 2003.
-- Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $235
million, a 149 percent increase compared to $94 million for
the same period of 2003.

million, a 172 percent increase compared to $92 million for

$0.25 per diluted share (including a net impact of $185
million, or $0.13 per diluted share, related to the sale of an
investment). Excluding this gain, net income for the fourth
quarter was $187 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. This
compares with net income of $75 million or $0.05 per diluted
share for the same period of 2003.
"Yahoo!'s strong fourth quarter performance completes our third
consecutive year of delivering strong organic revenue growth,
expanding operating margins, and generating substantial free cash
flow," said Susan Decker, chief financial officer, Yahoo!. "We are
attracting more and more users to Yahoo!'s network of services and
driving their usage deeper with more relevant products and services.
This deeper usage is the real magic behind the surpassing of our
financial objectives."

Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2004 Financial Highlights
Marketing services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled
$911 million, a 67 percent increase from the $545 million reported for
the same period of 2003. Marketing services revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2004 totaled $3,002 million, a 150 percent increase from
the $1,200 million reported for 2003. Listings revenue for the fourth
quarter of 2004 totaled $38 million, a 15 percent increase compared to
the $33 million reported for the same period of 2003. Listings revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $147 million, a 16
percent increase compared to the $127 million reported for 2003. The
year over year increases in marketing services and listings revenues
resulted from growth in Yahoo!'s organic revenue and incremental
revenue associated with acquisitions completed during the past year.
Fees revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled $129 million, a 52
percent increase compared to the $85 million reported for the same
period of 2003. Fees revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004
totaled $426 million, a 43 percent increase compared to the $298
million reported for 2003. The year over year increases in fees
revenues were primarily driven by the growth in the number of paying
relationships for Yahoo!'s premium services, which were approximately
8.4 million at December 31, 2004 compared to approximately 4.9 million
at December 31, 2003.
United States revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 were $775
million, a 42 percent increase from the $546 million reported for the
same period of 2003. United States revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2004 were $2,653 million, a 96 percent increase from the
$1,355 million reported for 2003. International revenues for the
fourth quarter of 2004 were $303 million, a 156 percent increase from
the $118 million reported for the same period of 2003. International
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $921 million, a 241
percent increase from the $270 million reported for 2003.
United States segment operating income before depreciation and
amortization in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $278 million, a 68
percent increase from the $166 million reported for the same period of
2003. United States segment operating income before depreciation and
amortization for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $891 million, a
102 percent increase from the $441 million reported for 2003.
International segment operating income before depreciation and
amortization in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $49 million, a 315
percent increase from the $12 million for the same period of 2003.
International segment operating income before depreciation and
amortization for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $141 million, a
291 percent increase from the $36 million reported for 2003. These
increases were primarily a result of the increases in United States
and International revenues and continued efforts to control
discretionary spending.
Free cash flow was $251 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and
$844 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Free cash flow was
the largest contributor to the increase of $1,176 million in our cash,
cash equivalents and investments in marketable debt securities which
grew from approximately $2,566 million at December 31, 2003 to $3,742
million at December 31, 2004. Other contributors to the increase were
$651 million of cash generated from the issuance of common stock as a
result of the exercise of employee stock options, and $503 million in
proceeds from sales of marketable equity securities, offset by a net
$70 million used in structured stock repurchase transactions and $756
million used for acquisitions.

Statements of Operations" for definition of these key financial
measures and "Business Outlook" attached to this press release.

(2) Beginning this quarter, a new subtotal is being presented in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations: Income
before income taxes, earnings in equity interests and minority
interests. Earnings in equity interests and Minority interests in
operations of consolidated subsidiaries are now presented below
Provision for income taxes. In accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, these items have consistently been
presented net of income taxes. This presentation has also been
adopted for prior periods.
(3) In accordance with the adoption of EITF 04-08 "The Effect of
Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per
Share", the number of diluted shares for the three months and year
ended December 31, 2003 has been revised to include the shares
related to the Company's convertible notes since issuance. The
inclusion of these shares results in a decrease of $0.01 to
previously reported diluted earnings per share for the year ended
December 31, 2003. There is no change to the previously reported
diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31,
2003. In addition, there is no change to the previously reported
diluted earnings per share for any of the periods reported in the
year ended December 31, 2004, as the computation of diluted
earnings per share for all such periods included the shares
issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes as the market
price condition for convertibility was satisfied in all periods
reported.

Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of
revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs, operating income before
depreciation and amortization, and free cash flow, which are
reconciled to gross profit, income from operations, and cash flow from
operating activities, respectively, which we believe are the most
comparable GAAP measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for
internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on
possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to
and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing
aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and
the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial
measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends
affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered
as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross
profit, income from operations, and cash flow from operating
activities calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Revenues excluding traffic acquisition costs or TAC is defined as
gross profit plus other cost of revenues. Under GAAP, both our
revenues and cost of revenues include TAC. In defining revenues
excluding TAC as our non-GAAP gross profit measure, we have removed
TAC from both revenues and cost of revenues. We began incurring TAC
when we acquired Overture Services, Inc. in October 2003. TAC
primarily represents revenues, a significant portion of which is
shared with, and paid to, Overture's third party affiliates who
integrate Overture's sponsored search service into their websites. We
present revenues excluding TAC: (1) to permit investors to make a
meaningful comparison of our current performance to our performance
before we acquired Overture, (2) to provide a metric for our investors
to analyze and value our Company and (3) to provide investors one of
the primary metrics used by the Company for evaluation and
decision-making purposes. Specifically, it allows investors to compare
gross profit as a percentage of revenues before and after the Overture
acquisition, since TAC is the only significant difference in the cost
of revenues between our legacy business and Overture's business.
Consequently, presenting revenues excluding TAC helps investors better
understand changes in our gross profit as a percentage of revenues for
pre- and post-acquisition of Overture. We also provide revenues
excluding TAC because we believe it is useful to investors in valuing
our Company. One of the ways investors value companies is to apply a
multiple to revenues. Since a significant portion of the GAAP revenues
associated with Overture is paid to our third party affiliates, we
believe investors find it more meaningful to apply multiples to
revenues excluding TAC to assess our value as this avoids "double
counting" revenues that are paid to, and being reported by, our third
party affiliates. Further, management uses revenues excluding TAC for
evaluating the performance of our business, making operating
decisions, for budgeting purposes, and as a factor in determining
management compensation. A limitation of revenues excluding TAC is
that it is a measure which we have defined for internal and investor
purposes that may be unique to the Company and therefore it may not
enhance the comparability of our results to other companies in our
industry who have similar business arrangements but address the impact
of TAC differently.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization is defined as
income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible
assets and amortization of stock compensation expense. We consider
operating income before depreciation and amortization to be an
important indicator of the operational strength of the Company. This
measure eliminates the effects of depreciation, amortization of
intangible assets and amortization of stock compensation expense from
period to period, which we believe is useful to management and
investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company, as
depreciation and amortization costs are not directly attributable to
the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. A
limitation associated with this measure is that it does not reflect
the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible
assets used in generating revenues in the Company's businesses.
Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets
through other financial measures such as capital expenditures. A
further limitation associated with this measure is that it does not
include stock compensation expenses related to our workforce.
Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental
information about stock compensation expense on the face of the
consolidated statements of operations.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less
net capital expenditures. In addition, for the quarters ended June 30,
2002 and December 31, 2003, free cash flow also included a change in
long-term deferred revenue and an Overture receivable settled through
acquisition, respectively. The change in long-term deferred revenue
represented cash payments received in advance of revenue recognized.
The Overture receivable settled through acquisition represented a
Yahoo! accounts receivable balance owed from Overture that was settled
as part of the acquisition. We consider free cash flow to be a
liquidity measure which provides useful information to management and
investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the
acquisition of property and equipment, which can then be used for
strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the
Company's business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the
balance sheet and repurchasing stock. A limitation of free cash flow
is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the
cash balance for the period.
