(EXACT NAME OF REGISTRANT AS SPECIFIED IN ITS CHARTER) DELAWARE (STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION) 000-23709 13-3870996 (COMMISSION FILE NUMBER) (I.R.S. EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NO.) 450 WEST 33RD STREET NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 (ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES) (ZIP CODE) (212) 683-0001 (REGISTRANT'S TELEPHONE NUMBER, INCLUDING AREA CODE) N.A. (FORMER NAME OR FORMER ADDRESS, IF CHANGED SINCE LAST REPORT) ---------------------------------------------------- ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION On October 16, 2003, DoubleClick 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. The attached press release discloses the Company's net cash position as of September 30, 2003, which may be considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and reconciles the Company's net cash position to its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in marketable securities as of September 30, 2003, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Net cash is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash available to the Company after taking into account the principal amount of outstanding debt and capital lease obligations. Management uses this financial measure in making operating decisions, for budget planning purposes and in considering strategic opportunities including strategic acquisitions and repurchasing stock or bonds. The attached press release also discloses EBITDA, which represents net income as presented in the statement of operations under GAAP before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. 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 measures included in the press release should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to or other measures of the Company's financial position prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
