ITEM 12. DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

On October 28, 2003, ValueClick announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) included in the attached press release is a non-GAAP financial measure which represents net income (loss) excluding the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. EBITDA, as defined above, may not be similar to EBITDA measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Company’s performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in costs associated with capital investments and income from interest on our cash and marketable securities that are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating the overall performance of the Company’s business operations.

 

The non-GAAP measure included in the press release should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to other measures of the Company’s financial position prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
