On February 10, 2011, eBay Inc. (“eBay”) provided a overview of its growth plans through 2013 at a company-held meeting. A copy of eBay’s press release entitled “eBay Inc. Expects Double-Digit Annual Revenue and Earnings Growth Over Next Three Years” is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. An archive of eBay’s webcast of the meeting will be publicly available on eBay Inc.’s Investor Relations page at http://investor.ebayinc.com for 30 days following the meeting
The attached press release includes free cash flow, which is defined as a “non-GAAP financial measure” by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. This measure may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of free cash flow to GAAP operating cash flow, see page four included in the attached press release.
The attached press release also contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things, eBay’s future performance that are based on eBay’s current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties. A more thorough discussion of certain factors that may affect eBay’s actual results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in eBay’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by visiting the company’s investor relations web site at http://investor.ebayinc.com or the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
