Exhibit 99.1 Move, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results; Revenue Up 17 Percent Year-Over-Year, GAAP Net Income of $1.7 Million WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2006--Move, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOVE) reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Total revenue for the second quarter was $73.9 million, a 17 percent increase compared to $63.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net income applicable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.02 per share, for the second quarter of 2005. Excluding stock-based compensation expense, net income would have been $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2006. Move's EBITDA (earnings before interest, restructuring charges and certain other non-cash and non-recurring items, principally stock-based charges, depreciation, and amortization) for the second quarter of 2006 was $4.7 million, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2005. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2005 included $4.2 million in expense related to the Company's obligation to advance the defense costs of former officers. The Company has reported EBITDA because management uses it to monitor and assess the Company's performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding the Company's business. "We had a strong second quarter. We successfully implemented essential components of our corporate strategy, including our new corporate brand, the industry's most powerful real estate search engine, Move.com, and a suite of new products and services," said Mike Long, Move's chief executive officer. "We are pleased that even with continued large investments in our business, we were able to achieve improving financial performance."

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Move uses a non-GAAP measure of income (loss) from operations excluding restructuring, impairment and certain other non-cash and non-recurring items, principally depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and other charges, which is referred to as EBITDA. We have also presented a non-GAAP table of our Segment Data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 that extracts stock based compensation under SFAS 123R "Share Based Payment". A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the attached tables. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of Move's current financial performance and its prospects for the future and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are the primary basis management uses for planning and forecasting its future operations. Move believes these non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results and a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters and should be carefully evaluated.
