BUSINESS OUTLOOK

j2 is reaffirming its previously announced fiscal 2014 revenues estimate of between $580 and $600 million.

In Q2 2014, j2 issued $402.5 million in convertible senior notes, which will adversely affect 2014 earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.10.  Notwithstanding this impact, j2 is reaffirming its estimated fiscal 2014 Adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of between $3.23 and $3.47.

- 2 -

Adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2014 excludes share-based compensation of between $8 and $10 million, amortization of acquired intangibles and the impact of any currently unanticipated items, and adds back $1.5 million to reflect the impact of the fair value adjustment to deferred revenues purchased in the Livedrive acquisition, in each case net of tax.

The Adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share estimate assumes a 2014 tax rate of between 27% and 29%.

DIVIDEND

j2’s Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.285 per common share, an 11.8% increase versus the dividend declared in November 2013.  This is j2’s 13th consecutive quarterly dividend increase since its first quarterly dividend in September 2011.  The dividend will be paid on December 4, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 17, 2014.  Future dividends will be subject to Board approval.

* The reconciliation of net income per share from GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP may not foot since each is calculated independently.

The Company discloses adjusted non-GAAP Earnings Per Share ("EPS") as supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure, as it believes it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of its business from period to period. The Company also understands that this adjusted non-GAAP measure is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing the Company's performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of this adjusted non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.

Adjusted non-GAAP EPS is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, net income per share and may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or even identical names used by other companies. In addition, this adjusted non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This adjusted non-GAAP measure has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.
