Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

     Pursuant to Regulation FD, DoubleClick Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing certain information with respect to a presentation being made by Bruce Dalziel, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on September 8, 2004, and Kevin Ryan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on September 9, 2004, to various members of the financial and investment community in New York City. The slide presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

     The attached presentation discloses the Company’s net cash position as of June 30, 2004, which may be considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Net cash can be reconciled to the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in marketable securities as of June 30, 2004, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Net cash as of June 30, 2004 is defined as gross cash and cash equivalents of $77.5 million, restricted cash of $15.4 million, and investments in marketable securities of $448.7 million minus zero coupon convertible subordinated notes of $135.0 million, and capital lease obligations and loans payable of $3.4 million. 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, capital lease obligations and loans payable. 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 information in this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) 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.
