Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some
measures
presented
for
InfoSpace,
Inc.
("InfoSpace")
and
2
nd
Story Software, Inc. ("TaxACT") in this presentation are non-GAAP
financial measures within the meaning of the SEC's Regulation
G.
InfoSpace believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures
is useful to financial statement users because it describes InfoSpace
and TaxAct operating performance, excluding some recurring and
non-recurring charges that are included in the most directly
comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP.
InfoSpace management uses these non-GAAP measures as
important indicators of the Company's historical performance and
in
planning and forecasting future performance.
The non-GAAP financial
measures that InfoSpace presents may not be comparable to
similarly-named financial measures used by other companies, and
financial statement users should not consider non-GAAP financial
measures in isolation from, or a substitute for, financial information
presented in compliance with GAAP.
You are encouraged to review
the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial
measures included in the following pages of this presentation and in
InfoSpace's filings with the SEC.
