Dear Shareholders, We set out five years ago to build Yahoo! into the only place anyonein the world would have to go to find and get connected to anythingor anybody. Our goal was to attract and retain as large a globalaudience as possible and give consumers a single, trusted, and comprehensive place to go for all of their daily needs, be it content,things to buy, or ways to communicate with each other. From abusiness perspective, we set out to create a global, comprehensive,branded network. During 1999, we continued to be very aggressiveand made truly significant progress in growing our global enterprise.We finished the year having established a massive global audience,and on a financial basis we consistently exceeded expectations delivering record revenues and profits, while simultaneously investingheavily in growing our market share....
Sincerely,
Tim KoogleChairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yahoo! Inc.
