results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.09,001.

the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, operating profit excluding share-based
compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation
expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based
compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For
more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables
captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to
the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash
provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA" set forth at the end of
this release.
Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.09,001.96%) believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its
performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses, particularly share-
based compensation expenses, that may not be indicative of its operating We
believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these
non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning
and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also

useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to
supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is
that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that
has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant
recurring expense in our results of operations. A limitation of using non-
GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact our
net income for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by
providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each
non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the

results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.09,001.
96%) uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by
the SEC: adjusted EBITDA, operating profit excluding share-based
compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation
expenses, and basic and diluted earnings per ADS excluding share-based
compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For
more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables
captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to
the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash
provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA" set forth at the end of
this release.
Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.09,001.96%) believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its
performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses, particularly share-
based compensation expenses, that may not be indicative of its operating We
believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these
non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning
and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also
facilitate management's internal comparisons to Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.09,
001.96%) 's historical performance and liquidity. Baidu (BIDU:$108.63,00$2.

useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to
supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is
that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charge that
has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant
recurring expense in our results of operations. A limitation of using non-
GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact our
net income for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by
providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each
non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the
reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly
