Note:
    The matters discussed in this presentation contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
    concerning Yahoo!’s expected financial performance, as well as Yahoo!’s strategic and operational plans. Actual results
    may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future
    performance. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the expected benefits of the commercial
    agreement with Google may not be realized, including as a result of actions taken by United States or foreign regulatory
    authorities and the response or acceptance of the agreement by publishers, advertisers, users, and employees; the
    implementation and results of Yahoo!'s ongoing strategic initiatives; the impact of organizational changes; Yahoo!'s ability to
    compete with new or existing competitors; reduction in spending by, or loss of, marketing services customers; the demand
    by customers for Yahoo!'s premium services; acceptance by users of new products and services; risks related to joint
    ventures and the integration of acquisitions; risks related to Yahoo!'s international operations; failure to manage growth and
    diversification; adverse results in litigation, including intellectual property infringement claims; Yahoo!'s ability to protect its
    intellectual property and the value of its brands; dependence on key personnel; dependence on third parties for technology,
    services, content, and distribution; general economic conditions and changes in economic conditions; the possibility that
    Microsoft or another person may in the future make proposals to acquire all or part of Yahoo!, or take other actions which
    may create uncertainty for our employees, publishers, advertisers, and other business partners; and the possibility of
    significant costs of defense, indemnification, and liability resulting from stockholder litigation relating to such proposals. All
    information in this presentation is as of October 21, 2008 and Yahoo! does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update
    this information to reflect future events or circumstances. More information about potential factors that could affect Yahoo!’s
    business and financial results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in Yahoo!’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
    31, 2007, as amended, and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which are on file with

Note: Non-GAAP Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income excluding certain gains, losses, expenses, and their related tax effects that we believe are not indicative of
our ongoing operating results. All per share amounts are based on fully diluted share counts. Q1’08 non-GAAP net income excludes a net strategic workforce realignment charge of $17 million
(comprised of $29 million in pre-tax cash charges, offset by $12 million in stock-based compensation expense reversals), as well as incremental costs of $14 million incurred for outside advisors
related to Microsoft’s unsolicited proposal, other strategic alternatives, and related litigation defense costs. Q2’08 non-GAAP net income and Q3’08 non-GAAP net income exclude incremental
costs of $22 million and $37 million, respectively, incurred for outside advisors related to Microsoft’s proposals to acquire all or a part of the Company, other strategic alternatives, including the
Google agreement, the proxy contest, and related litigation defense costs. See Table 4 for Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income and GAAP Net Income per Share to Non-GAAP Net Income and
Non-GAAP Net Income per Share and Table 5 for Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income, with details on adjustments.

Note: Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense
(including the compensation of Terry Semel, who served as our chief executive officer through June 18, 2007 and whose compensation after June 1, 2006 consisted almost entirely of stock-based
compensation). Q1’08 OCF includes a pre-tax cash charge of $29 million for severance pay expenses and related cash expenditures related to a strategic workforce realignment the Company
implemented in the quarter, as well as incremental costs of $14 million incurred for outside advisors related to Microsoft’s unsolicited proposal, other strategic alternatives, and related litigation defense
costs. Q2’08 OCF and Q3’08 OCF includes incremental costs of $22 million and $37 million, respectively, incurred for outside advisors related to Microsoft’s proposals to acquire all or a part of the
Company, other strategic alternatives, including the Google agreement, the proxy contest, and related litigation defense costs.

 Note: Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities (adjusted to include excess tax benefits
 from stock-based compensation), less net capital expenditures and dividends received. The excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, as
 reported on the statements of cash flows in financing activities, represent the reduction in income taxes otherwise payable during the period,
 attributable to the actual gross tax benefits in excess of the expected tax benefits for options exercised/awards released in current and prior periods.

     Note: Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense
     (including the compensation of Terry Semel, who served as our chief executive officer through June 18, 2007 and whose compensation after June 1, 2006 consisted almost entirely of stock-based
     compensation). The current outlook is based on current information and expectations as of October 21, 2008. Yahoo! does not expect, and undertakes no obligation, to update this outlook prior to the release
     of the Company’s next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding subsequent developments; however, Yahoo! may update this business outlook or any portion thereof at any time at its discretion. The
     outlook for the three months ending December 31, 2008 (Q4’08) excludes any incremental costs incurred for outside advisors related to other strategic alternatives, including the Google agreement, defense
     costs for securities litigation relating to Microsoft’s proposals to acquire all or a part of the Company and other strategic alternatives and any charges arising form the cost-reduction initiatives to be
     implemented in Q4’08. The outlook for the year ending December 31, 2008 (FY’08) excludes charges arising from the Company’s strategic workforce realignment implemented in Q1’08, including $29 million of
     such costs incurred through September 30, 2008, incremental costs incurred for outside advisors related to Microsoft's proposals to acquire all or a part of the Company, other strategic alternatives, including
     the Google agreement, the proxy contest, and related litigation defense costs, including $73 million of such incremental costs incurred through September 30, 2008, and any charges arising from the cost
     reduction initiatives to be implemented in Q4’08.

     Note: Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash flow from operating activities (adjusted to include excess tax benefits
     from stock-based compensation), less net capital expenditures and dividends received. The current outlook is as of October 21, 2008. Yahoo! does
     not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.

 Note: Q1’08 GAAP operating income includes a net strategic workforce realignment charge of $17 million (comprised of $29 million in severance pay expenses and
 related cash expenditures, offset by $12 million in stock-based compensation expense reversals), as well as incremental costs of $14 million incurred for outside
 advisors related to Microsoft’s unsolicited proposal, other strategic alternatives, and related litigation defense costs. Q2’08 GAAP operating income and Q3’08 GAAP
 operating income includes incremental costs of $22 million and $37 million, respectively, incurred for outside advisors related to Microsoft’s proposals to acquire all or
 part of the Company, other strategic alternatives, including the Google agreement, the proxy contest, and related litigation defense costs. Excluding these charges, US
 GAAP operating income as a percentage of GAAP revenue would have been 6% in Q1’08, 3% in Q2’08 and 3% in Q3’08, and Worldwide GAAP operating income as a
 percentage of GAAP revenue would have been 8% in Q1’08, 7% in Q2’08 and 6% in Q3’08.
