3

Statements containing words such as may, believe, anticipate, expect, intend, plan, project, will, projections, continue, business outlook, forecast, estimate, outlook, guidance, or similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Differences in Zillow Groups actual results from those described in these forward-looking statements may result from actions taken by Zillow Group as well as from risks and uncertainties beyond Zillow Groups control. Factors that may contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, Zillow Groups ability to maintain and effectively manage an adequate rate of growth; Zillow Groups ability to maintain or establish relationships with listings and data providers; the impact of the real estate industry on Zillow Groups business; the impact of pending litigation and other legal and regulatory matters, including those described in Note 14 under the subsection titled Legal Proceedings in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of Zillow Groups Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017; Zillow Groups ability to innovate and provide products and services that are attractive to its users and advertisers; Zillow Groups ability to increase awareness of the Zillow Group brands; Zillow Groups ability to attract consumers to Zillow Groups mobile applications and websites; Zillow Groups ability to compete successfully against existing or future competitors; Zillow Groups investment of resources to pursue strategies that may not prove effective; Zillow Groups ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic acquisitions or investments; the reliable performance of Zillow Groups network infrastructure and content delivery processes; and Zillow Groups ability to protect its intellectual property. The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is illustrative, but is not exhaustive. For more information about potential factors that could affect Zillow Groups business and financial results, please review the Risk Factors described in Zillow Groups Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and in Zillow Groups other filings with the SEC. Except as may be required by law, Zillow Group does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA (including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (historical and forecasted) to net income (loss) (historical and forecasted), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of net income (loss), adjusted, to net income (loss), as reported on a GAAP basis, and the calculations of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share - basic and diluted, within this earnings release.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by our management and board of directors to measure operating performance and trends, and to prepare and approve our annual budget. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
4
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation; |
| Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related costs; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the gain on divestiture of business; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or other income; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; and |
| Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.
Our presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, income tax benefit (expense) and the gain on divestiture of business. This measure is not a key metric used by our management and board of directors to measure operating performance or otherwise manage the business. However, we provide non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as supplemental information to investors, as we believe the exclusion of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, income tax benefit (expense) and the gain on divestiture of business facilitates investors operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
