Financial Summary
 
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.1 billion, representing an increase of 12% compared to the same period of the prior year. Our revenue growth continues to be driven by PayPal merchant services, global classifieds, advertising and Skype as well as a weaker U.S. dollar relative to other currencies (primarily the Euro). Our revenue growth, particularly in our Marketplaces and Payments segments, was negatively impacted by the difficult global economic environment as buyers reduced their spending. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $524.1 million, or 25% of net revenues, compared to an operating loss of $937.7 million, or (50%) of net revenues, in the same period of the prior year. The year over year change in operating margin (which is operating income as a percentage of net revenues) was due to the goodwill impairment

charge in 2007 as well as margins improving in all three of our business segments offset by the continued faster growth of our lower margin businesses, primarily PayPal and Skype. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $492.2 million, or $0.38 earnings per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $935.6 million, or $0.69 loss per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. The change in earnings per diluted share was due primarily to the goodwill impairment charge in 2007 and our lower weighted average share count as a result of shares of our common stock repurchased over the last year. During the third quarter of 2008, we repurchased 24.8 million shares of our common stock under our repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $622.8 million.

Financial Summary
 
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $2.2 billion, representing an increase of 20% compared to the same period of the prior year. While Marketplaces transaction revenue continues to represent a majority of our overall revenue, revenue growth rates were helped by our faster growing businesses such as PayPal merchant services, global classifieds, advertising and Skype. Our reported results from operations also benefited from the strength in other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $545.4 million, or 25% of net revenues, compared to $456.9 million, or 25% of net revenues, in the same period of the prior year. Operating margin (which is operating income as a percentage of net revenues) remained consistent due primarily to the continued faster growth of our lower-margin businesses, PayPal and Skype, as compared to our Marketplaces business, partially offset by a reduction of sales and marketing expense as a

percentage of net revenues. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $460.3 million, or $0.35 earnings per diluted share, compared to $375.8 million, or $0.27 earnings per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. Our net income benefited in part from a lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year, as the geographic mix of income became more favorable. In addition to the growth in net income, the higher earnings per diluted share was partially attributable to our lower diluted weighted average share count, which was driven primarily by our stock repurchase activity during 2007 and the first half of 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, we repurchased approximately 19.1 million shares of our common stock under our repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $566.0 million.

Financial Summary
 
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $2.2 billion, representing a growth rate of 24% compared to the same period of the prior year. Revenue growth was driven primarily by Marketplaces net transaction revenues, the ongoing expansion at PayPal, Skype and our global advertising and classifieds businesses. Our global presence helped us to benefit from strength in other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $552.8 million, or 25% of net revenues, compared to $467.8 million, or 26% of net revenues, in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the operating margin (which is operating income as a percentage of net revenues) was due primarily to the continued higher growth of our lower-margin businesses, PayPal and Skype, which continued to grow at a faster rate than our Marketplaces business, as well as higher legal-related expenses. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was

$459.7 million, or $0.34 earnings per diluted share, compared to $377.2 million, or $0.27 earnings per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. Our net income results benefited in part from a lower tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year as the geographic mix of income became more favorable. In addition to the growth in net income, the higher earnings per diluted share was partially attributable to our lower diluted weighted average share count, the decrease of which was driven primarily by our stock repurchase activity during 2007 and the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased approximately 36.7 million shares of our common stock under our repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion.

Financial Summary
 
During 2007, our combined businesses generated net revenues totaling $7.7 billion, representing a $1.7 billion, or 29%, year-over-year increase, with each of our segments achieving double digit-growth. Overall, our operations were favorably impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, the geographic mix of taxable income, a tax benefit from a favorable ruling issued by a tax authority and more efficient use of our resources as demonstrated by reducing our sales and marketing, product development, and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. Furthermore, our operating results were negatively impacted by the $1.4 billion impairment charge related to Skype goodwill.
 
Revenue generated by our Marketplaces segment increased 24% in 2007 as compared to 2006 as our core business generated $59.4 billion in GMV in 2007, representing a 13% increase over the prior year. Revenue growth was primarily driven by StubHub (acquired in February 2007), advertising, and the fixed-price format on eBay. Our

Table of Contents

Marketplaces segment represents approximately 70% of our total net revenues and continues to drive the majority of our consolidated net revenue increase in dollars.
 
Revenue generated by our Payments segment, PayPal, increased 34% in 2007 as compared to 2006. PayPal represents approximately 25% of our total net revenue and generated net TPV of $47.5 billion in 2007, a 33% increase over the $35.8 billion generated in 2006. PayPal continued to be a popular payment vehicle on various Marketplaces platforms. Revenue derived from our Merchant Services business increased by approximately 51% in 2007 compared to 2006 and represented approximately 42% of net TPV in 2007 compared to 35% in 2006.
 
Revenue generated by our Communications segment, Skype, increased 96% in 2007 as compared to 2006. Revenue growth at Skype was due primarily to the growth in SkypeOut minutes driven by our expanding user base and the broadening of our product offerings and various strategic relationships. Skype represents approximately 5% of our total net revenue.
 
Our operating margin was 8% in 2007, which reflected the significant impact of the goodwill impairment charge related to Skype of $1.4 billion, which represented 18% of net revenues. In 2006, our operating margin was 24%.
 
Our diluted earnings per share was $0.25 in 2007. The goodwill impairment charge related to Skype of $1.4 billion reduced our diluted earnings per share by $1.01. In 2006 our diluted earnings per share was $0.79.
 
We generated operating cash flow of $2.6 billion in 2007, which allowed us to repurchase approximately 44.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $1.5 billion. As of December 31, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $4.2 billion.
 
We expect that our business will continue to grow; however, our growth rate has declined over time and we expect that to continue in 2008, primarily as a result of the following:
 
  •  we face challenges in the U.S., U.K. and Germany, which are our three largest markets, as growth of listings, active users and GMV on the eBay.com platform in those countries has slowed. In January 2008, we announced our plan to implement changes to our fee structure, seller incentives and standards and feedback system, all of which may impact our Marketplaces revenue growth;
 
  •  consumer spending in our major markets, including the U.S., Germany and the U.K., is expected to be weaker in 2008; and
 
  •  we anticipate that ecommerce growth as a whole will decelerate in 2008.
 
We believe that our operating margin percentage will be impacted negatively by the growth of our lower gross margin businesses, primarily PayPal and Skype, which are growing faster than our Marketplaces business and investment in buyer and seller initiatives, and may be affected by the other changes mentioned above. To partially offset this trend, we intend to continue to improve operating productivity to keep our operating expenses growing at a slower pace than revenue.
 
We announced another stock repurchase program in January 2008 for $2.0 billion, giving us the ability to repurchase up to $2.85 billion of our common stock under our combined stock repurchase programs. Any repurchases of our common stock under our combined stock repurchase programs may impact our liquidity.
 
In addition to the above, to the extent that the U.S. dollar fluctuates against foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, British pound, Korean won and Australian Dollar, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions into U.S. dollars will impact our consolidated net revenues and, to the extent that they are not hedged successfully, our net income.

During 2007, our combined businesses generated net revenues
totaling $7.7 billion, representing a $1.7 billion, or
29%, year-over-year increase, with each of our segments
achieving double digit-growth. Overall, our operations were
favorably impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar

demonstrated by reducing our sales and marketing, product
development, and general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues. Furthermore, our operating results were
negatively impacted by the $1.4 billion impairment charge
related to Skype goodwill.


 



Revenue generated by our Marketplaces segment increased 24% in
2007 as compared to 2006 as our core business generated

balance was approximately $4.2 billion.


 



We expect that our business will continue to grow; however, our
growth rate has declined over time and we expect that to
continue in 2008, primarily as a result of the following:


 




































  • 

we face challenges in the U.S., U.K. and Germany, which are our

Germany and the U.K., is expected to be weaker in 2008; and
 
  • 

we anticipate that ecommerce growth as a whole will decelerate
in 2008.


 



We believe that our operating margin percentage will be impacted
negatively by the growth of our lower gross margin businesses,
primarily PayPal and Skype, which are growing faster than our
Marketplaces business and investment in buyer and seller
initiatives, and may be affected by the other changes mentioned

Financial summary
 
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $1.9 billion, representing a growth rate of 30% year over year. Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $937.7 million. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $935.6 million, or $0.69 loss per diluted share. Both the operating loss and net loss for the quarter were driven by a goodwill impairment charge in our Communications segment of $1.4 billion resulting from our annual goodwill impairment test that is performed during the third quarter. The impairment resulted from an updated long-term financial outlook for the Skype business generated through our annual long-term strategic planning cycle and our settlement payment with respect to the Skype earn out agreement.

Financial summary
 
Consolidated net revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $1.411 billion, representing a growth rate of 30% year over year, which was primarily due to continued Marketplaces and Payments growth and acquisitions made in the past 12 months, including Shopping.com and Skype.
