distribution; general economic conditions and changes in economic conditions; and transition and implementation risks

Note: Non-GAAP Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) attributable to Yahoo! Inc. excluding certain gains, losses, expenses, and their related tax effects that

have been revised to conform to the current presentation.
