Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on
us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: rates of revenue growth; engagement and usage of our products; scaling and adaptation of existing technology and network infrastructure; competition in our market;
management of our growth; acquisitions and investments; qualified employees and key personnel; protection of our brand and intellectual property; changes in government regulation affecting our business; intellectual property infringement and other
claims; protection of customers information and privacy concerns; and security measures related to our mobile applications and websites, among other things.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 22, 2013. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements
and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2013, our results of operations for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2013 and 2012, and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The results of the three month period ended March 31, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2013 or for any interim period or for any other future year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates are used for revenue
recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website development costs, goodwill, recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets, and for share-based compensation. To the extent there are material
differences between these estimates, judgments, or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
guidance on the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. An entity must report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net
income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net
5
income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with earlier adoption permitted, and must be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have any
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as we do not have any items of other comprehensive income in any period presented.
Note 3.

Fair Value Measurements
|
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of
which is internally developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
|
We
applied the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value measurements:
Cash equivalents
Cash
equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of less than three months. The fair value measurement of these assets is based on quoted market prices in active markets and, therefore, these assets are recorded
at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term and long-term
investments
Our investments consist of fixed income securities, which include U.S. government agency securities, commercial paper, and corporate notes and bonds. Investments with maturities greater than three months but less than one year
are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. The fair value measurement of these assets is based on observable market-based inputs or inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Our U.S. government agency securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Our commercial paper and corporate notes and bonds are classified
as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our short-term and long-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost, as we do not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be
required to sell these investments prior to maturity. The amortized cost of our short-term and long-term investments approximates their fair value.
Of the short-term investments and long-term investments on hand as of March 31, 2013, 65.3% mature on or prior to March 31, 2014, and the remaining 34.7% mature on or prior to March 31,
2015.
The following tables present the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates
presented (in thousands):

We recorded amortization and depreciation expense related to property and equipment (other than website
development costs) of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
We capitalized $3.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in website development costs during the three months ended March 31,
2013 and 2012. Amortization expense for website development costs included in technology and development expenses was $2.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Construction-in-progress primarily consists of website development costs that are capitalizable, but for which the associated
applications had not been placed in service.

Amortization expense recorded for intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and
2012 was $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These amounts are included in technology and development expenses.
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. During the three months ended March 31,
2013 and 2012, we did not have reportable taxable income, and we are not projecting reportable taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2013. We have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 because, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, no tax
liability or expense has been recorded in the financial statements. We have accumulated tax losses of approximately $115.7 million as of December 31, 2012, which are available to reduce future taxable income.

Shareholders Equity
|
Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine and to amend the number of shares of any series of
preferred stock that is wholly unissued or to be established and to fix and determine and to amend the designation, preferences, voting powers and limitations, and the relative, participating, optional or other rights, of any series of shares of
preferred stock that is wholly unissued or to be established, subject in each case to certain approval rights of holders of our outstanding Class B common stock. There was no preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2013 or
December 31, 2012.
Our Class A common stock has no preferences or privileges and is not redeemable. Holders of
Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.
Our Class B common stock has no preferences or
privileges and is not redeemable. At any time after the date of issuance, each share of Class B common stock, at the option of the holder, may be converted into one share of Class A common stock, or automatically converted upon the
affirmative vote by or written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of the Class B common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 193,900 shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock
at the option of the holders. During the year ended December 31, 2012, 2,065,787 shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock at the option of the holders. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to
10 votes for each share.
In September 2012, we sold 3,844,818 shares of our Class A common stock, including 419,818
shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the underwriters option to purchase additional shares, and certain shareholders sold 575,000 shares of our Class A common stock, at a price of $43.00 per share. We received net proceeds
of $156.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We received no proceeds from the sale of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders.
Note 8.

Share-Based Awards
|
On July 19, 2011, our 2011 Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) became effective and was subsequently
amended and restated effective as of June 1, 2012, to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares and include the material terms of performance goals for performance-based awards. The 2011 Plan is administered by the
compensation committee of the board of directors. Under the terms of the 2011 Plan, the compensation committee of the board of directors may grant equity awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock or
restricted stock units, to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors. The compensation committee has also authorized certain senior executive officers to grant equity awards under the 2011 Plan, within
limits prescribed by the compensation committee.

Stock Options
All stock options outstanding at March 31, 2013 are nonqualified stock options, with the exception of substituted incentive stock options for 15,143 shares of Zillows Class A common stock
that were granted in connection with the December 14, 2012 acquisition of HotPads, Inc. Options under the 2011 Plan are granted with an exercise price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the
date of grant, with the exception of substituted stock options granted in connection with acquisitions, and are exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the compensation committee. Under the 2011 Plan, the maximum term of
an option is ten years from the date of grant. Any portion of an option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a participants termination of service expires on such date. Employees generally forfeit their rights to exercise vested
options after 3 months following their termination of employment or 12 months in the event of termination by reason of death, disability or retirement. Options granted under the 2011 Plan are typically granted with seven-year terms and typically
vest 25% after 12 months and ratably thereafter over the next 36 months, except for options granted under the Stock Option Grant Program for Nonemployee Directors (Nonemployee Director Awards), which are fully vested and exercisable on
the date of grant, and except for certain options granted to the Companys chief executive officer described below.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, stock options for an aggregate of 30,690 shares of our
Class A common stock were granted as Nonemployee Director Awards. The fair value of options granted for the Nonemployee Director Awards, $16.29 per share, is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model,
assuming no dividends, expected volatility of 51%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.36%, and a weighted-average expected life of 3.5 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, share-based compensation expense recognized in our statement
of operations related to Nonemployee Director Awards was $0.5 million, and is included in general and administrative expenses.
In January 2013, an option for 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock was granted to the Companys chief executive officer.
One-eighth of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on the three-year anniversary
9
of the date of grant. An additional 1/96
th
of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable monthly thereafter over the next three years so that this portion of the award will be vested and exercisable six
years from the date of grant. One-eighth of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on the four-year anniversary of the date of grant. An additional 1/96th of the total number of shares subject to the option
will vest and become exercisable monthly thereafter over the next three years so that this portion of the award will be vested and exercisable seven years from the date of grant. The contractual life of the award is 10 years. The fair value of the
option, $19.00 per share, is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, assuming no dividends, expected volatility of 51%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.70%, and a weighted-average expected life of 7.3
years. The option is subject to shareholder approval of a share increase under the 2011 Plan, and no portion of the option is exercisable until such shareholder approval has been obtained. However, for accounting purposes for determining the date of
grant, shareholder approval is deemed to be a formality or perfunctory because the award has been approved by Zillows co-founders, who control enough votes to ensure shareholder approval of the share increase under the 2011 Plan.
In December 2012, an option for 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock was granted to the Companys
chief executive officer. One-eighth of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. An additional 1/96
th
of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable monthly thereafter over the next
three years so that this portion of the award will be vested and exercisable four years from the date of grant. One-eighth of the total number of shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on the two-year anniversary of the date
of grant. An additional 1/96
th
of the total number of
shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable monthly thereafter over the next three years so that this portion of the award will be vested and exercisable five years from the date of grant. The contractual life of the award is 7
years. The fair value of the option, $13.28 per share, is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, assuming no dividends, expected volatility of 49%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.60%, and a
weighted-average expected life of 6.0 years. A portion of the option is subject to shareholder approval of a share increase under the 2011 Plan, and no portion of the option is exercisable until such shareholder approval has been obtained. However,
for accounting purposes for determining the date of grant, shareholder approval is deemed to be a formality or perfunctory because the award has been approved by Zillows co-founders, who control enough votes to ensure shareholder approval of

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
|
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common
shares (including Class A common stock and Class B common stock) outstanding during the period. In the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share, undistributed earnings are allocated assuming all earnings during the period were
distributed.
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of
common shares (including Class A common stock and Class B common stock) outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive Class A common stock equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the Class A common stock
equivalent would be antidilutive. Potential Class A common stock equivalents consist of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and Class A common stock underlying unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted
stock units using the treasury stock method.
For the periods presented, the following Class A common stock equivalents
were included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they had a dilutive impact (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, 2,856,087 shares underlying stock options, 66,455 shares
of Class A common stock underlying unvested shares of restricted stock, and 63,065 shares of Class A common stock underlying unvested restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share because
their effects would have been antidilutive.
11
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the
Company, the holders of all classes of common stock have equal rights to receive all the assets of the Company after the rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock have been satisfied. We have not presented net income (loss) per share
under the two-class method for our Class A common stock and Class B common stock because it would be the same for each class due to equal dividend and liquidation rights for each class.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
Lease Commitments
We have various operating leases for office space and equipment. In March 2011, we entered into a lease effective through November 2022 for approximately 66,000 square feet of office space that has housed
our principal offices in Seattle, Washington, since August 2011. In June 2012, we entered into a lease amendment for our corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington, which increases the rentable area of the premises by 21,575 square feet. In April
2012, we entered into an operating lease in Irvine, California for 20,025 square feet under which we are obligated to make escalating monthly lease payments which began in August 2012 and continue through July 2022. In November 2012, we entered into
an operating lease in San Francisco, California for 18,353 square feet under which we are obligated to make escalating monthly lease payments which began in December 2012 and continue through November 2018. We lease additional office space in San
Francisco, California, Chicago, Illinois, Lincoln, Nebraska, and New York, New York. The operating lease for our prior headquarters in Seattle, Washington, which we vacated in August 2011, expired in February 2013.
Future minimum payments for all operating leases as of March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

Line of Credit and Letters of Credit
During March 2011, we entered into a loan and security agreement with a financial institution to establish a line of credit of $4.0
million. In April 2012, we amended our loan and security agreement to increase our line of credit from $4.0 million to $25.0 million. The line of credit is secured by substantially all our assets, including our intellectual property, and provides us
with flexibility for future potential financing needs. The revolving line of credit contains customary financial covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum adjusted quick ratio (calculated as (i) unrestricted cash plus net accounts
receivable divided by (ii) current liabilities less the sum of deferred revenue and any indebtedness owing from borrower to bank), measured on a monthly basis, of 1.50 to 1.00, and minimum Adjusted EBITDA, measured on a quarterly basis, of
greater than or equal to negative $5 million for each quarterly period through December 31, 2012 and greater than or equal to $0 for each quarterly period thereafter. In addition, the revolving line of credit contains customary restrictions on
our ability to, among other things, engage in certain mergers and acquisition transactions and create liens on assets. The revolving line of credit contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest
or fees, violation of certain covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events and material judgments. The occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest by five percentage
points and
12
could result in the acceleration of Zillows obligations under the revolving line of credit. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no amounts
outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is available through April 2016.
In March 2011, we executed a
standby letter of credit of $1.5 million in connection with the lease of our Seattle offices, and in July 2012, we amended the standby letter of credit to increase the amount to approximately $1.7 million. In November 2012, we executed a letter of
credit of approximately $0.2 million in connection with the lease of our San Francisco office. The letters of credit are secured by our investments and are effective until 60 days after the expiration date of the lease.
Legal Proceedings
There have been no material developments in legal proceedings during the three months ended March 31, 2013. For a description of
previously reported legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 3 (Legal Proceedings) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot be certain of the outcome of any litigation and claims, nor the amount of
damages and exposure that we could incur, we currently believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. This forward-looking statement is based on
managements current understanding of the relevant law and facts, and it is subject to various contingencies, including the potential costs and risks associated with litigation and the actions of arbitrators, judges and juries. Regardless of
the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Note 11.
|
Segment Information and Revenue
|
We have one reportable segment. Our reportable segment has been identified based on how our chief operating
decision-maker manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The chief executive officer acts as the chief operating decision-maker and reviews financial and operational information on an entity-wide basis. We
have one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components. Accordingly, we have determined that we have a single reporting segment and operating unit
structure.
The chief executive officer reviews information about revenue categories, including marketplace revenue and
display revenue. The following table presents our revenue categories during the periods presented (in thousands):

Subsequent Events
|
In April 2013, pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and Restricted Stock Agreement between
Zillow and a former employee, 218,071 unvested restricted stock units held by such employee became vested, such that the former employee is entitled to receive one share of Zillows Class A common stock for each outstanding restricted
stock unit. As a result of the accelerated vesting of the restricted stock units, we expect to record approximately $7.1 million of share-based compensation expense within sales and marketing expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In April 2013, we amended our operating lease for our principal offices in Seattle,
Washington, to increase the rentable area of the premises by 22,583 square feet as of October 1, 2013, and to increase the rentable area of the premises by an additional 22,583 square feet as of September 1, 2014, for which we are
obligated to make escalating monthly lease payments beginning in January 2014 and terminating in November 2022. Future minimum payments for the additional space are as follows (in thousands):
