Raises 2003 Net Revenue and EPS Guidance
Announces a Two-for-One Stock Split

San Jose, CA, July 24, 2003 – eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY; www.ebay.com), the world’s online marketplace, reported financial results for its quarter ended June 30, 2003.

eBay reported record consolidated Q2-03 net revenues of $509.3 million, up 91% year-over-year; record operating income of $152 million, up 91% year-over-year; and record pro forma operating income of $168.7 million, up 109% year-over-year. Operating income was 30% of net revenues and pro forma operating income was 33% of net revenues.

Consolidated net income in Q2-03 was a record $109.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. eBay’s pro forma consolidated net income, excluding certain items, was a record $120.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.

These results exceeded the company’s guidance of $500 million for net revenues, $0.30 for GAAP earnings per diluted share and $0.33 for pro forma earnings per diluted share.

In addition, eBay’s Board of Directors has approved a two-for-one split of all outstanding shares of the company’s common stock, payable August 28, 2003 to stockholders of record on August 4, 2003.

“Q2 was another great quarter for eBay,” said Meg Whitman, President and CEO of eBay. “Our thriving community of buyers and sellers continues to spread the word that eBay is a great place to trade, build a business, make friends and have fun.”

Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary

eBay reported record consolidated net revenues of $509.3 million in Q2-03, representing a 91% year-over-year increase. Excluding PayPal, eBay’s Q2-03 net revenues totaled $407.7 million, representing a 53% year-over-year increase. PayPal’s Q2-03 total net revenues were $101.5 million, representing an 89% year-over-year increase compared to the $53.8 million PayPal reported in Q2-02. As expected, revenues from third party advertisers and end-to-end services declined 43% year over year to $12.4 million and now represent approximately 2% of net revenues. Consolidated revenues reflected a foreign exchange benefit in Q2-03 in the amount of approximately $6.9 million, based on Q1-03 weighted average foreign exchange rates.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 81%, which was consistent with the 81% level reported in Q1-03, but down from the 83% level reported in Q2-02. The reported gross profit percentage reflects an improvement in US and International segments offset by an increased contribution of the PayPal business, which has a lower gross margin structure.

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $134.6 million, or 26% of net revenues, consistent with the 26% reported in Q1-03 and down from the 30% reported in Q2-02. The sequential dollar increase of $10.9 million in sales and marketing expense during the quarter was attributed to the company’s expanded marketing programs and growth in sales and marketing headcount.

Product development costs totaled $38.8 million, or approximately 8% of net revenues, up from the 7% of net revenues reported in Q1-03 and down from the 9% of net revenues reported in Q2-02. The incremental product development expense reflects an actual sequential spending increase, offset by $12.3 million of required capitalization for major site and other product development efforts.

General and administrative costs totaled $69.5 million, or about 14% of net revenues, up from the 13% of net revenues reported for Q1-03 and consistent with the 14% of net revenues reported for Q2-02. Included in general and administrative costs were PayPal’s transaction losses, which represented approximately 0.32% of PayPal’s total payment volume. The incremental general and administration costs primarily reflect an increase in legal costs, headcount, and the impact of a weakening dollar on Euro denominated expenses in the quarter.

Income from operations totaled $152.0 million during Q2-03, a 91% increase over the $79.4 million reported in Q2-02. On a pro forma basis, income from operations totaled $168.7 million, or 33% of Q2-03 consolidated net revenues, comparing favorably to the $80.7 million and 30% of net revenues reported in Q2-02.

-3-


 

Net interest and other income totaled $10.9 million in Q2-03, up from the $7.4 million reported in Q1-03, reflecting a larger investment base. On a pro forma basis, net interest and other income increased to $9.9 million from $7.7 million in Q1-03.

The Q2-03 effective tax rate for both GAAP and pro forma was 32%, consistent with the 32% effective tax rate in Q1-03 and a decrease from the 38% rate in Q2-02. The lower effective tax rate reflects the increased profit contribution from the company’s international operations.

eBay’s balance sheet remains strong. At the end of Q2-03, the company had $2.5 billion in aggregate corporate cash and investments and total assets of more than $5.0 billion.

The company reported $208.7 million in operating cash flows, 125% higher than the $92.8 million reported in Q2-02, primarily reflecting increased profitability.

Capital expenditures increased in Q2-03 to $186.1 million from $43.9 million in Q1-03, reflecting the $125 million purchase of new facilities in San Jose, California. As a result, free cash flows during Q2-03 totaled $22.6 million, 25% lower than the $30.1 million reported in Q2-02.

Business Outlook

Net Revenues – The company now expects that revenues for 2003 could be as high as $2.075 billion, $25 million higher than the company’s most recent guidance. This higher revenue outlook derives from the strength of eBay’s US, International and Payments businesses. From a quarterly perspective, eBay expects consolidated net revenue to be approximately $515 million in Q3-03, and approximately $575 million in Q4-03. eBay’s guidance is based on an assumed quarterly weighted average translation of 1.14 U.S. dollars per Euro.

GAAP Diluted EPS – eBay now estimates that earnings per diluted share for the full year 2003 could be as high as $1.31, $0.05 higher than the company’s most recent guidance. From a quarterly perspective, eBay estimates GAAP earnings per diluted share to be $0.29 in Q3-03 and $0.36 in Q4-03. This guidance includes a $0.02 decrease in Q3-03 and $0.01 decrease in Q4-03 from the acquisition of EachNet, which closed on July 16, 2003.

Pro Forma Diluted EPS – eBay now estimates that pro forma earnings per diluted share for the full year 2003 could be as high as $1.47, $0.06 higher than the company’s most recent guidance. This guidance includes a $0.02 decrease in Q3-03 and $0.01 decrease in Q4-03 from the acquisition of EachNet, which closed on July 16, 2003. eBay now believes that amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses and other pro forma items primarily related to the PayPal acquisition, as well as the related tax impact of these items, will range between $13.0 million to $18.0 million per quarter through 2003. From a quarterly perspective, eBay estimates pro forma earnings per diluted share to be $0.34 in Q3-03 and $0.40 in Q4-03.

Effective Tax Rate – eBay’s current estimate for its effective tax rate is 32% for 2003.

Capital Expenditures – eBay expects capital expenditures to be approximately $80 million in Q3-03 and $76 million in Q4-03, reflecting expected spending in technology, facilities, and PayPal. This implies an increase in 2003 capital expenditure guidance of approximately $11 million to $385 million from our prior guidance of $374 million.

Stock Split – eBay’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of all outstanding shares of the company’s common stock, payable August 28, 2003 to stockholders of record on August 4, 2003.

Legal Settlement

We have reached a settlement with the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri on the issue of PayPal’s services to online gambling merchants, which were discontinued following PayPal’s acquisition by eBay, as previously disclosed, for a payment of $10 million. The settlement amount will be included as an adjustment to our purchase price of PayPal and not as a charge against earnings.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, eBay uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating income, net income, earnings per share, and cash flows, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Consistent with our historical practice, the non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
