Trending Schedules

Endnotes

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Domestic AOL-brand access subscribers include subscribers participating in introductory free-trial periods and subscribers that are paying no monthly fees or reduced monthly fees through member service and retention programs. Individuals who have registered for our free offerings, including subscribers who have migrated from paid subscription plans, are not included in the AOL-brand access subscriber numbers presented above.
(2) Calculated as average monthly access subscription revenue per AOL-brand access subscriber.
(3) Churn represents the percentage of subscribers that are either terminated or cancel our services, factoring in new and reactivated subscribers. Monthly average churn is calculated as the monthly average number of terminations plus cancellations divided by the initial subscriber base plus any new registrations and reactivations for the applicable period.
(4) Part of our strategy is to increase the reach of our audience in order to increase our advertising revenue. We utilize unique visitors as a measure of our success in this goal. Unique visitor numbers provide an indication of our consumer reach. Although our consumer reach does not correlate directly to advertising revenue, we believe that our ability to broadly reach diverse demographic and geographic audiences is attractive to brand advertisers seeking to promote their brands to a variety of consumers without having to partner with multiple content providers. The information that we disclose regarding unique visitors is based on data provided by a third party (comScore Media Metrix, or "Media Metrix").
(5) Unique visitors to AOL Properties represent the estimated number of individuals who visited any content of a website or application owned by AOL or for which the traffic has been assigned to AOL by the owner during the applicable measurement period.
(6) Unique visitors to AOL Advertising Network includes both AOL Properties and the Third Party Network. We utilize this metric to evaluate the reach of our total advertising network.
(7) These trending schedules include the financial measures advertising revenue net of TAC, Adjusted OIBDA, Free Cash Flow, Cash Net of Debt and advertising revenue net of TAC, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures may be different than similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Explanations of our non-GAAP financial measures are as follows:

We use advertising revenue net of TAC, among other measures, to evaluate the financial performance of our business. TAC consists of costs incurred through arrangements in which we acquire third-party online advertising inventory for resale and arrangements whereby partners distribute our free products or services or otherwise direct traffic to AOL Properties. We believe that this definition enhances the comparability of our advertising revenues to the advertising revenues of certain of our competitors. However, comparable activity may be measured differently by other companies and our revenue sources and TAC may be different than those of our competitors. Therefore, our metrics involving TAC may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors.

We use Adjusted OIBDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization excluding the impact of restructuring costs, non-cash equity-based compensation, gains and losses on all disposals of assets (including those recorded in costs of revenues), non-cash asset impairments and write-offs and special items. We consider Adjusted OIBDA to be a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business on a consistent basis across reporting periods, as it eliminates the effect of non-cash items such as depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets that were primarily recognized in business combinations, asset impairments and write-offs, as well as the effect of restructurings, gains and losses on asset sales and special items, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We exclude the impacts of equity-based compensation to allow us to be more closely aligned with the industry and analyst community.

A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business or the current or future expected cash expenditures for restructuring costs. The Adjusted OIBDA measure also does not include equity-based compensation, which is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term compensation package. Moreover, the Adjusted OIBDA measures do not reflect gains and losses on asset sales, impairment charges and write-offs related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets or special items which impact our operating performance. We evaluate the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budgets, investment spending levels and return on capital.

We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by continuing operations, less capital expenditures and product development costs and principal payments on capital leases. We consider Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the continuing business that, after capital expenditures and product development costs and principal payments on capital leases, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparisons of our operating results to competitors' operating results. A limitation on the use of this metric is that Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in cash for the period because it excludes certain non-operating cash flows and the results of discontinued operations.

We define Cash Net of Debt as cash and equivalents less short- and long-term debt and other financing obligations. We consider Cash Net of Debt to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about our ability to repay debt should it come due immediately. A limitation on the use of this metric is that it does not factor in the other uses of cash or the ability to use other assets in the repayment of debt.

 

(8) In the fourth quarter of 2012, AOL began to manage its business on a segmented basis, and therefore is presenting financial information for the fourth quarter of 2012 and historical periods in this release on the same basis as that reviewed by our management. Segment information for the year ended December 31, 2010 will be presented for full year only, as the quarterly segment information is not meaningful.
(9) Special items were $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, including $9.0 million in acquisition-related costs during the first quarter and $8.5 million in legal settlement expenses during the fourth quarter. Special items were ($57.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2012, including $96.0 million of patent licensing income during the second quarter, costs related to the patent sale and return of the related proceeds to shareholders of $15.7 million (primarily incurred during the second and fourth quarters), costs related to the proxy contest of $8.9 million primarily in the second quarter, $7.6 million related to a tax settlement in the second quarter and acquisition-related costs of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter.
