ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 5, 2012, Ancestry.com Inc. (the Company) announced via a press release selected preliminary results of operations for its
quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The exhibit contains
references to adjusted EBITDA, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.
Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure
of operating performance because it excludes items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core performance. In determining adjusted EBITDA, the Company adjusts net income for such things as interest, taxes, stock-based compensation and
certain non-cash and non-recurring items. However, non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income and net cash provided by operating activities, or other financial
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance; for planning purposes,
including the preparation of the annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the Companys business; to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys business strategies; to provide consistency and
comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of the Companys results with those of other companies; and in communications with the Board of Directors concerning the Companys financial performance. The Company
also uses adjusted EBITDA as a factor when determining managements incentive compensation.
The information in this Item 2.02
(including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
