Safe Harbor
This presentation may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or
our future financial performance or estimates regarding third parties. These statements are only estimates
or predictions and reflect our current beliefs and expectations. Actual events or results may differ
materially from those contained in the estimates, projections or forward-looking statements. It is routine
for internal projections and expectations to change as the quarter progresses, and therefore it should be
clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations may
change prior to the end of the quarter. Although these expectations may change, we will not necessarily
inform you if they do. Our policy is to provide expectations not more than once per quarter, and not to
update that information until the next quarter. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein include, without limitation, (i) our online
wedding-related and other websites may fail to generate sufficient revenue to survive over the long term,
(ii) we incurred losses for many years following our inception and may incur losses in the future, (iii) we
may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall, (iv) sales to
sponsors or advertisers may be delayed or cancelled, (v) efforts to launch new technology and features may
not generate significant new revenue or may reduce revenue from existing services, (vi) we may be unable
to develop solutions that generate revenue from advertising delivered to mobile phones and wireless
devices, (vii) the significant fluctuation to which our quarterly revenue and operating results are subject,
(viii) the seasonality of the wedding industry, (ix) our e-commerce operations are dependent on Internet
search engine rankings, and our ability to influence those rankings is limited, (x) the dependence of our
registry services business on third parties, and (xi) other factors detailed in documents we file from time to
time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements in this release are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This presentation includes certain "Non‐GAAP financial information." A reconciliation of such information
to the most directly comparable GAAP data can be found on slide 26 and 27 of this presentation.

* Highlights from Bill Gurley “All markets are not created equal: 10 Factors to consider when evaluating digital marketplaces” – abovethecrowd.com
• New Experience vs. the Status Quo: Great marketplaces do
not simply aggregate a market, they enhance it.
• Opportunity for Technology to Add Value: The technology
offering greatly enhances the user experience.
• High Fragmentation: High buyer and supplier
fragmentation is a positive for an online marketplace.
• Friction of Supplier Sign-Up: Supplier sign up and new
city launches should be relatively quick after a model has
been established.
• Size of Market Opportunity: Large market with high
percentage of the market likely to use the online
alternative.
• Network Effects: Offering a better experience as the
marketplace adds more participants.

  • 2. Safe Harbor This presentation may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or our future financial performance or estimates regarding third parties. These statements are only estimates or predictions and reflect our current beliefs and expectations. Actual events or results may differ materially from those contained in the estimates, projections or forward-looking statements. It is routine for internal projections and expectations to change as the quarter progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of the quarter. Although these expectations may change, we will not necessarily inform you if they do. Our policy is to provide expectations not more than once per quarter, and not to update that information until the next quarter. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein include, without limitation, (i) our online wedding-related and other websites may fail to generate sufficient revenue to survive over the long term, (ii) we incurred losses for many years following our inception and may incur losses in the future, (iii) we may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall, (iv) sales to sponsors or advertisers may be delayed or cancelled, (v) efforts to launch new technology and features may not generate significant new revenue or may reduce revenue from existing services, (vi) we may be unable to develop solutions that generate revenue from advertising delivered to mobile phones and wireless devices, (vii) the significant fluctuation to which our quarterly revenue and operating results are subject, (viii) the seasonality of the wedding industry, (ix) our e-commerce operations are dependent on Internet search engine rankings, and our ability to influence those rankings is limited, (x) the dependence of our registry services business on third parties, and (xi) other factors detailed in documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
