Provision (Benefit). WebMD maintains a valuation allowance on a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards, the amount of which may change from quarter to quarter based on factors that are not directly related to WebMD's results for the quarter. The valuation allowance is either reversed through the statement of operations or additional paid-in capital. The timing of such reversals has not been consistent and as a result, WebMD's income tax expense can fluctuate significantly from period to period in a manner not directly related to WebMD's operating performance. WebMD excludes the income tax provision (benefit) from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it believes that the income tax provision (benefit) is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of WebMD's business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different tax attributes. Investors should note that income tax provision (benefit) will recur in future periods.

• Other Items. WebMD engages in other activities and transactions that can impact WebMD's overall income (loss) from continuing operations. WebMD excludes these other items from Adjusted EBITDA when it believes these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of WebMD's business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that these other items may recur in future periods. In the accompanying press release and financial tables, WebMD has excluded loss on the impairment of auction rate securities from Adjusted EBITDA.
