Communications Net Transaction Revenues

Communications net transaction revenues for 2009 represent Skype activity from January 1, 2009 through November 19, 2009 (the completion date of the sale of Skype), compared to a full year of Skype activity in 2008. Communications net transaction revenues increased $49.3 million, or 9%, in 2009 compared to 2008. The increase in net transaction revenues was due primarily to a year-over-year increase in total SkypeOut minutes. Following our sale of Skype on November 19, 2009, we have accounted for our approximately 30% equity interest in Skype’s business on the equity method. See “Note 4 – Sale of Skype” in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Communications net transaction revenues increased $161.2 million, or 44%, in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase in net transaction revenues was due primarily to a year-over-year increase in total SkypeOut minutes.

Communications net transaction revenues earned internationally totaled $0.5 billion in 2009, $0.4 billion in 2008 and $0.3 billion in 2007, representing 82%, 83% and 84% of total Communications net transaction revenues, respectively. Skype revenue was primarily generated in Europe.

Communications Net Transaction Revenues

Communications net transaction revenues increased $23.4 million, or 20%, during the first quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenues was due primarily to a 65% increase in SkypeOut minutes during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in SkypeOut minutes was due primarily to the growth in the cumulative number of Skype registered users to 443.2 million at March 31, 2009 from 309.3 million at March 31, 2008. We believe that the growth in Skype registered users was primarily due to its marketing activities, strategic partnership initiatives and the expansion of its product offerings.

Communications Net Transaction Revenues
 
Communications net transaction revenues increased 93% and 103% during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenues was primarily due to an increase in SkypeOut minutes to 1.4 billion during the third quarter of 2007, compared to 1.1 billion in the same period of the prior year. SkypeOut minutes increased to 4.0 billion in the first nine months of 2007, compared to 2.6 billion in the same period of the prior year. The increase in SkypeOut minutes was due primarily to the growth in the cumulative number of Skype registered users to 245.7 million at September 30, 2007 from 135.9 million at September 30, 2006. Prior period SkypeOut minutes have been adjusted to exclude SkypeCast minutes. The growth in activity per Skype user has slowed somewhat as Skype has increased its focus on monetization of users.
