Summary
eBay Inc. (EBAY) filed an 8-K on April 19, 2006, to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. The report primarily serves as a vehicle to attach a press release containing these results, which includes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The company emphasized the use of non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share, to provide a clearer comparison to prior periods, particularly in light of the adoption of FAS 123(R) impacting stock-based compensation expenses. Investors should note that this filing is furnished and not deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it has a limited impact on SEC liability. The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements regarding the remainder of fiscal year 2006, and investors are directed to eBay's Form 10-K and upcoming 10-Q filings for a more comprehensive discussion of risks and financial condition.
