Yelp Investor Presentation Deck
Safe Harbor: Forward-Looking Statements
These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in these slides and the accompanying oral presentation, including
statements regarding Yelp Inc.'s ("Yelp" or the "Company") future operations, future performance, expected financial results and future financial position, future revenue and revenue growth rates, future share repurchase
activity, strategic and investment priorities as well as their anticipated results, projected growth, expenses and savings, trends, opportunities, prospects, estimates, and plans and objectives of management are forward-looking
statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "forecast," "guidance," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "project," "plan," "potential,"
"target," "opportunity," "initiative," "model," "expect" or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its estimates of its financial results and its
current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and
objectives and financial needs.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including macroeconomic uncertainty - including related to inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain issues, and the
ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain it and its effect on consumer behavior, user activity and advertiser spending; the impact of fear or actual outbreaks of diseases, including COVID-19 and any
variants thereof, and any resulting changes in consumer behavior, economic conditions or governmental actions; our ability to maintain and expand our base of advertisers, particularly if the modest increase in churn in the
second half of 2022 substantially worsens and/or consumer demand significantly degrades; our ability to continue to effectively operate with a primarily remote work force and attract and retain key talent; our limited operating
history in an evolving and competitive industry; our ability to generate and maintain sufficient high-quality content from our users; our reliance on traffic from search engines like Google and Bing and the quality and reliability of
such traffic; our ability to manage acquisitions of new businesses, solutions or technologies and to integrate and monetize those businesses, solutions or technologies; our ability to timely upgrade and develop our systems,
infrastructure and customer service capabilities; our ability to maintain a strong brand and manage negative publicity that may arise; and changes in political, business and economic conditions. These risks and uncertainties
may also include those described in the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for Company management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and
circumstances discussed in these slides and the accompanying oral presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You
should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot
guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of its date. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly
any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation, to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company's expectations.
