All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including those regarding: WebMDs guidance on future financial results and other projections or measures of future performance of WebMD; the amount and timing of the benefits expected from strategic initiatives and acquisitions or from deployment of new or updated technologies, products, services or applications; the prospects for new applications of porous plastics and other porous media; and other potential sources of additional revenue. These statements are based on WebMDs current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future events or results to be different than those described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to: market acceptance of WebMDs products and services; operational difficulties relating to combining acquired companies and businesses; WebMDs ability to form and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with customers and strategic partners; changes in economic, political or regulatory conditions or other trends affecting the healthcare, Internet, information technology and plastics industries, including matters relating to the manner and timing of implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the healthcare industrys responses; and the ability of WebMD to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Exhibit 99.1 furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K includes both financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures include WebMDs income before taxes, non-cash and other items and related per share amounts. Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial measures. Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report includes a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP information to forward-looking GAAP financial information, each of which is expected to be discussed on the Analyst and Investor Conference Call referred to in Exhibit 99.1. WebMD believes that the above non-GAAP measures, and changes in those measures, are meaningful indicators of WebMDs performance and provide additional information that WebMD management finds useful in evaluating such performance and in planning for future periods. Accordingly, WebMD believes that such additional information may be useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for, the GAAP financial measures.
