Quarterly Business Unit Discussion

Marketplaces

The Marketplaces business unit, which consists of eBay, Shopping.com, StubHub, Kijiji and other ecommerce sites, had a strong quarter with a record $1.50 billion in revenue, equating to 21% year-over-year growth. Revenue growth was driven by StubHub, advertising, the fixed price format on eBay and, in part, by the benefit of a weaker U.S. dollar. Based on average monthly unique visits, eBay was the number one ecommerce site in the U.S., UK and Germany during the 2007 holiday shopping season, according to Nielsen Online. Approximately 54% of Marketplaces revenue came from markets outside the U.S. Gross merchandise volume was $16.21 billion for the quarter, an increase of 12% over the fourth quarter of 2006. eBay continues to focus on buyer and seller initiatives to accelerate gross merchandise volume in the U.S., Germany and the United Kingdom.

Payments

PayPal posted another stellar quarter with $563 million in revenue, an increase of 35% year-over-year. Net total payment volume (TPV) for the quarter was $14.04 billion, an increase of 35% year-over-year. The revenue and net TPV growth represents increased penetration on eBay as well as expanded adoption of PayPal Merchant Services across the Web. PayPal will continue to focus on greater penetration into the Marketplaces business as well as the acquisition of new merchants.

Communications

Skype contributed $115 million in revenue, representing 76% year-over-year growth, and posted a fourth consecutive quarter of segment profitability. Skype attracted new users at a rapid pace through the quarter and ended the period with more than 276 million registered users around the world.

Selected Financial Results

•  Taxes — The GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter was 21%, compared to 28% for the fourth quarter of 2006. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the quarter was 24% compared to 29% for the fourth quarter of 2006. The GAAP effective tax rate for 2007 was 54% while the full year non-GAAP tax rate came in at 21%.

•  First quarter 2008 — eBay expects net revenues in the range of $2.000 to $2.050 billion with GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.28 to $0.30 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.37 to $0.39.

eBay Inc.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, eBay uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, and free cash flow.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with eBay’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate eBay’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included on page 13, 15 and 16 of this press release.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance and the company’s prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, and net purchases of property and equipment that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, because eBay has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company’s financial reporting.

For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, eBay’s management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases, employer payroll taxes on employee non-qualified stock option gains, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets and the income taxes associated with the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, eBay’s management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in reviewing the financial results of eBay.

eBay excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate:

Stock-based compensation related to stock options and employee stock purchases.  These expenses consist of expenses for stock options and employee stock purchases under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” eBay excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that eBay does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.

Employer payroll taxes on employee non-qualified stock option gains.  This amount is dependent on eBay’s stock price and the timing and size of exercise by employees of their stock options, over which management has limited to no control, and as such does not correlate to eBay’s operation of the business.

Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.  eBay incurs amortization or impairments of acquired intangible assets in connection with acquisitions and investments. eBay excludes these items because they arise from eBay’s prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the current operating results of eBay’s business.

Income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP entries.  This amount is used to present stock-based compensation and the other amounts described above on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP net income.

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, eBay also uses free cash flow. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less net purchases of property and equipment. eBay considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, buildings, and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in eBay’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company’s cash balance for the period.
