Current Outlook

Revenue ex-TAC:

GAAP Revenue $1,130 - $1,180 $4,750 - $4,880

Less: TAC $60 - $80 $250 - $280

Revenue ex-TAC $1,070 - $1,100 $4,500 - $4,600

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

Depreciation & Amortization $140 - $160 $600 - $630

Stock-Based Compensation $30 - $50 $240 - $270

(1) Yahoo! has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, Net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc., because it is unable to
provide a forward-looking estimate of certain reconciling items between Net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, including: other income, net; provision for income
taxes; and earnings in equity interests. Certain factors that are materially significant to Yahoo!’s ability to estimate these items are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably
predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to Net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc. is not available without unreasonable effort.

Note: The above business outlook is based on information and expectations as of January 28, 2013. Yahoo! does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update the business outlook to
reflect subsequent events or circumstances; however, Yahoo! may update the business outlook or any portion thereof at any time at its discretion.
