“Our determined efforts led us to record highs in Net revenue and Paying advertising locations in the second quarter. As we continue to invest in our strategic initiatives, I remain confident in our ability to drive profitable growth over the long term.”

“The reach and power of our owned and operated ad platform, combined with the execution of our strategic plan, contributed to our strong performance in the second quarter,” said David Schwarzbach, Yelp’s chief financial officer. “We were particularly pleased by advertiser demand in our Services categories, which once again drove record Advertising revenue. With revenue from our Self-serve and Multi-location channels now comprising 49% of total Ad revenue, it’s clear our strategy is working.”

Yelp has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP Net income (loss) because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP Net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of Other income, net and Provision for (benefit from) income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP Net income (loss). Because Yelp cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP Net income (loss).
