Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted EBITDA

Trulia’s stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including
Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude
interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, change in
fair value of warrant liability, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA
excludes these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help
investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the
case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. Trulia believes
these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

Trulia also considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be important because
it provides a useful measure of the operating performance of the Company and
is used by the Company’s management for that purpose. In addition, investors
often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company.
Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only
for understanding the Company’s operating results. The non-GAAP results should
not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different
from non- GAAP measures used by other companies.
