We are optimistic about the future and we remain steadfastly focused on execution against our priorities."

Business Outlook

"This quarter's results demonstrate continued balanced growth across all of our revenue contributors and strong trends in our key financial metric of overall free cash flow generation. As we exit our fifth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, we continue to execute upon the key business and financial objectives we have laid out as a company, resulting from a steadily increased base of hundreds of blue-chip traditional marketers, thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses, and millions of worldwide consumers. We are also upwardly revising our business outlook for revenues and operating income before depreciation and amortization for the full year 2003, and we are pleased that our own visibility in our financial prospects has increased," said Susan Decker, chief financial officer, Yahoo!. Please refer to the "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations" attached to this press release for our business outlook.

Second Quarter 2003 Financial Highlights

Revenues: In the second quarter of 2003, Yahoo! reported net revenues of $321.4 million, a 42 percent increase from the same period in 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net revenues were $604.4 million, a 44 percent increase from the $418.5 million reported in the same period in 2002.

Marketing services revenues for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $219.2 million, a 44 percent increase from the same period in 2002. Marketing services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $409.2 million, a 41 percent increase from the same period in 2002. These increases resulted from a combination of a strong increase in revenues from Yahoo!'s sponsored search services, as well as growth in the balance of Yahoo!'s global marketing services revenues.

Fees revenues for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $69.9 million, a 43 percent increase compared to the same period in 2002. Fees revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $133.7 million, a 51 percent increase compared to the same period in 2002. These increases were primarily driven by the growth in paying relationships for Yahoo!'s premium services, including the SBC Yahoo! DSL and Dial products, Yahoo! Personals, and our small business and communications suites of premium services, partially offset by a decrease in our event webcasting business.

Listings revenues for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $32.3 million, a 29 percent increase compared to the same period in 2002. Listings revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $61.5 million, a 52 percent increase compared to the same period in 2002. These increases were driven primarily by the incremental contribution of revenue from HotJobs, which was acquired in February 2002, as well as increases in our search and marketplace services revenues.

Operating income and Operating income before depreciation and amortization: Operating income for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $62.8 million, compared to $7.5 million in the same period of 2002. Operating income before depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $97.3 million, a 178 percent increase compared to the $35.0 million reported in the same period of 2002. Operating income margin was 20 percent of net revenues in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 3 percent of net revenues for the same period of 2002. Operating income before depreciation and amortization margin doubled to 30 percent of net revenues in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 15 percent of net revenues in the same period of 2002. The substantial increase in Operating income and operating income before depreciation and amortization reflects strong growth in net revenues and only an 18 percent increase in costs on a year over year basis as a result of our ongoing cost discipline.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $117.7 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period of 2002. Operating income before depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $181.3 million, a 237 percent increase compared to the $53.8 million reported in the same period of 2002. Operating income margin was 19 percent of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 1 percent of net revenues for the same period of 2002. Operating income before depreciation and amortization margin increased to 30 percent of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 13 percent of net revenues in the same period of 2002.

Cash flow from operating activities and Free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $92.1 million, compared to $103.4 million for the same period of 2002. Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $67.7 million, a 6 percent increase compared to the $64.0 million reported for the same period of 2002.

Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $190.8 million, compared to $150.8 million for the same period of 2002. Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $142.8 million, a 40 percent increase compared to the $102.3 million reported for the same period of 2002.

Net Income (Loss): Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $50.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $21.4 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period of 2002.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $97.5 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with income before the cumulative effect of accounting change of $31.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the same period of 2002. Net loss was $32.3 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2002, including the charge of $64.1 million for the cumulative effect of the accounting change for the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142, which the Company adopted January 1, 2002, requires companies to assess the goodwill recorded from previous acquisitions, and as necessary, record an impairment charge that does not affect cash or the Company's operations.

(1) Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2003
includes approximately $2.3 million of net investment losses.
Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes
approximately $0.7 million of net losses, comprised of $1.6
million of net investment losses, $0.7 million of proceeds from
the termination of a contract, and $0.2 million of net gains on
disposal of assets. Other income, net for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 includes $4.9 million of net investment gains. Other
income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes $3.0
million of net investment gains and $2.5 million of proceeds from
the termination of contracts.

(2) Diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002
is computed excluding common share equivalents of 19,972 shares,
as their effect is anti-dilutive.

(3) The Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures, including
operating income before depreciation and amortization and free
cash flow are helpful, when presented in conjunction with the
comparable GAAP measures. Operating income before depreciation and
amortization is defined as income (loss) from operations before
depreciation and amortization. Operating income before
depreciation and amortization eliminates the effects of
depreciation and amortization 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 business operations.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities
less capital expenditures, change in long-term deferred revenue
and non-cash investment gains (losses) and other. Change in long-
term deferred revenue represents cash payments received in advance
of revenue recognized related to the Company's agreement with its
sponsored search provider, which is expected to be recognized as
marketing services revenue in 2005. Non-cash investment gains
(losses) and other represents non-cash gains (losses) and
impairment of investments. Free cash flow is considered a
liquidity measure and provides useful information to management
and investors about the amount of cash generated after the
acquisition of property and equipment, non-cash investment gains
(losses), change in long-term deferred revenue and other, which
can then be used for strategic opportunities including, among
others, to invest in the business, make strategic acquisitions,
strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock.
In addition, management refers to these financial measures to
facilitate internal comparisons to the Company's historical
operating results, in making operating decisions and for budget
planning purposes. These measures should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating
income, cash flows from operating activities, or other measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
