(d) Effective January 1, 2017, the Company will adopt a new accounting standard which requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies resulting from stock award activity to be included within the income tax provision. The income tax provision included in the 2017 financial guidance (including the Q1 2017 guidance provided below) excludes any adjustments related to this new accounting standard because the adjustments will be based on actual exercise or settlement activity, which cannot be estimated at this time.

Additional information regarding forecast for the quarter ending March 31, 2017:

 

  -   Revenue is forecasted to be between $151 million to $154 million.

 

  -   Revenue distribution is forecasted to be: approximately 58.5% from Advertising and sponsorship—Biopharma and medical device; 21% from Advertising and sponsorship—OTC, CPG and other; 15.5% from health services; and 5% from information services.

 

  -   Net income is forecasted to be between $9.8 million to $11.5 million.

 

  -   Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be between $38 million to $40 million.

 

  -   In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excluded the following expense items that are included in the calculation of Net Income: interest expense, net of $5.3 million; depreciation and amortization of $7.4 to $7.0 million; non-cash stock-based compensation of $9.3 to $8.9 million; and income tax provision of $6.2 to $7.3 million. See Annex A—Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

The above guidance does not include the impact, if any, of future deployment of capital for items such as share repurchases, convertible note repurchases or acquisitions, gains or losses from discontinued operations, and other non-recurring, one-time or unusual items (including the strategic review announced in the accompanying press release).


WEBMD HEALTH CORP.

SUPPLEMENTAL 2017 GUIDANCE FOR INCOME PER SHARE CALCULATION

Based on the Company’s Financial Guidance for the Year Ending December 31, 2017, the 1.50% convertible notes, the 2.50% convertible notes and the 2.625% convertible notes are expected to be dilutive to net income on both the low end and high end of the full year guidance range. Additionally, the 1.50% convertible notes, the 2.50% convertible notes and the 2.625% convertible notes may be dilutive in certain future quarters, depending on the amount of net income for such quarter. The following table contains the approximate level of net income for an individual future quarter and for the full year 2017 at which each of the series of convertible notes would become dilutive to income per share. To the extent this net income is exceeded for any such period, the table also includes the amounts by which the numerator and denominator should each be adjusted for purposes of the diluted income per share calculation.
