  FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">On April 17, 2003, Netflix, Inc. announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. The press release, which has been attached as Exhibit 99.1 discloses certain financial
  measures, non-GAAP operating income, EBITDA free cash flow, and estimated subscriber lifetime value calculations, that may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company&#146;s
  performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
  principles in the United States. In order to fully assess our financial operating results, management believes that non-GAAP operating income, EBITDA, free cash flow and estimated subscriber lifetime value are appropriate measures of evaluating the
  operating performance and liquidity performance of the Company because it believes that investors and equity research analysts use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its performance and to make informed investment decisions. Management also
  believes that these measures present a more representative measure of the operating and liquidity performance of the Company because they exclude the non-cash impact of stock option accounting. However these measures should be considered in addition
  to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The non-GAAP
  measures included in our press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
