ANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE VERSUS 2002 BUDGET
USA filed its 2002 budget with the SEC on January 29, 2002. Factors
significantly impacting USA's currently anticipated performance versus its
budget include: stronger than expected results for certain of its operating
businesses (primarily Expedia, Hotels.com and Match.com); the inclusion of
Interval International as of the acquisition closing date of September 24, 2002,
and other factors listed below. As against its 2002 budget, USA currently
expects to (a):
[ ] exceed OPERATING REVENUE by 4% and exceed TOTAL REVENUE by 2%; and
[ ] exceed OPERATING EBITDA by 15% and exceed TOTAL EBITDA by 10%.
Subsequent to the budget filing in January, certain items of a non-operating,
non-cash nature offset the better than expected operating results. As such,
against its 2002 budget, USA expects to (a):
[ ] exceed CASH NET INCOME by 9% and achieve CASH EPS of $0.41;
[ ] exceed OPERATING INCOME by 29%, not including a significant increase in
non-cash amortization of intangibles relating to its acquisition of Expedia
and as a result of a step up in certain of its assets for book purposes
relating to the Vivendi transaction. Including these items, USA expects to
perform below its budget for Operating Income by approximately 16%;
[ ] exceed NET INCOME by 11%, not including the impact of the non-cash items
mentioned above. USA will also record lower non-cash interest income than
budgeted due to the fact that the 1.4% PIK dividend related to USA's Class
B Preferred interest in VUE had been budgeted as income on USA's P&L, which
has been revised to exclude that item. Including the impact of those items,
USA expects to be below its budget for Net Income by approximately 77%.
----------------------
(a) Presented on a comparative pro forma basis reflecting the Vivendi and
Expedia transactions, reflecting continuing operations and excluding
one-time items. Pro forma USA's pending merger with Ticketmaster, USA
anticipates Operating Income of $149 million, Cash Net Income of $206
million, Cash EPS of $0.40 and Net Income of $26 million in 2002.
PRELIMINARY 2003 BUDGET AND 2004 OUTLOOK
USA is filing its Preliminary 2003 Budget with the SEC today, October 24, 2002.
Based on that filing, pro forma for USA's pending merger with Ticketmaster, USA
currently expects to:
[ ] grow REVENUE by 28% in 2003 and 24% in 2004;
[ ] grow EBITA by 66% in 2003 and 46% in 2004;
[ ] grow CASH NET INCOME by 105% in 2003 and approximately 35% in 2004, and
CASH EPS by 96% in 2003 and approximately 35% in 2004; and
[ ] grow NET INCOME by 35% in 2003 and more than 400% in 2004, and DILUTED EPS
by 33% in 2003 and more than 400% in 2004.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
HSN - U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] HSN's gross margins increased 380 bps to 38.1% from 34.3% last year, driven
by the continued shift in product mix towards higher margin products and
improved margins in all of lines of business.
[ ] Sales were slightly lower in Q3 compared to the prior year, due mainly to
the challenging retail environment and the changing shift in product mix
towards higher margin merchandise with less emphasis on higher priced
electronics.
[ ] HSN.com grew significantly, with sales up 25% over the prior year in Q3,
while traffic on the site increased 29% year-over-year. HSN.com represented
11% of Q3 sales.
[ ] Off-air sales grew 34% over last year due to strong growth in upsells and
the auto-ship program, which had its strongest quarter ever, propelled by
the expansion of its enrollment programs.
[ ] Customer Service calls are down by 19% from the same period last year,
indicative of higher customer satisfaction.
[ ] My Virtual Model launched on hsn.com in August, allowing customers to "try
on" selected garments before purchasing. Over 40,000 models have been
created and customers on average try on 22 garments per session, totaling
over 1.7 million garments to date.
[ ] HSN staged 32 major product launches during Q3, including new product lines
from celebrity chef Rocco Dispirito and former supermodel Lauren Hutton,
who both sold out during their first airings. The debut of former QVC show
host Kathy Levine's "By Request" apparel line was a huge success, bringing
in close to $2 million in revenue on its first outing.
TICKETMASTER / MATCH.COM / CITYSEARCH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] Ticketing revenue grew 21% in Q3, mainly due to increased tickets sold
(also eased by the weakness in the prior period related to 9/11).
International expansion, particularly in the U.K., Norway and The
Netherlands, was also a key growth driver.
[ ] Ticketmaster.com was relaunched this quarter, improving the overall look
and feel of the site, enhancing localization and search, increasing
performance and rolling out new content management tools that will provide
greater value to our venue partners.
[ ] Online ticket sales were 41% of total tickets during Q3, which reflects a
slight traffic decrease at the beginning of the period due to the re-launch
and a strong rebound towards the end of the quarter as consumers became
more familiar with the site's new features.
[ ] The Ticketmaster rollout and installation of new products continues to gain
momentum with TicketFastTM now installed in 218 venues, eEntry in 79 and
Access Manager in 155.
[ ] Revenue growth at Match.com was strong, while bottom line growth reflected
some carried over marketing costs from Q2, and other offline and online
marketing spending in Q3, which management expects will drive revenues in
future periods.
[ ] Match.com added Earthlink's Romance Center to its growing list of
distribution partners.
[ ] Citysearch unveiled Best of Citysearch winners in a record 68 cities (21
more than in 2001), helping increase Consumer Ratings on the site by more
than 177 percent.
[ ] Citysearch recently signed a new distribution deal with Yahoo! Get Local.
[ ] Evite was tapped to design and host custom invitations for ABC's fall
lineup, including links to Evite from the shows' sites.

EXPEDIA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] Expedia, the world's leading online travel service, reached gross travel
bookings of $1.47 billion, more than doubling year-over-year and up 10%
sequentially.
[ ] Merchant revenue nearly tripled year-over-year and rose 14% sequentially to
$98.5 million, due mainly to increased revenue from Expedia(R) Special Rate
hotels and the addition of the Classic Custom Vacations(R) business.
Merchant room nights rose 22% sequentially and 168% year-over-year to 2.6
million. Despite a decline in revenue per ticket, agency revenue rose 59%
year-over-year to $62.5 million.
[ ] International revenue nearly tripled year-over-year, as Expedia's
international points of sale gained market share and introduced new
content, including packages, driving additional sales.
[ ] Expedia recently announced the acquisition of Newtrade Technologies Inc. to
provide enhanced connectivity to hotels and improve Expedia's efficiency
and reliability as a merchant of hotel rooms.
[ ] Enhanced content, including 360-degree videos of rooms and grounds, was
added to Expedia's hotel displays, giving consumers more information by
which to choose from the more than 6,000 merchant hotels on its sites.
[ ] Expedia expects to launch its corporate product launch in Q4 2002. This
will be the first such corporate travel solution to fully integrate
customer service, reporting and policy management tools, and an online
booking tool.
HOTELS.COM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] Hotels.com grew revenue 83% year-over-year, driven mainly by the huge
success of the hotels.com marketing campaign. The company spent $12.6
million on advertising in Q3, up from $8.9 million in Q2. 20% of Q3 revenue
was attributable to WWW.HOTELS.COM.
[ ] Hotels.com sold over 2.3 million merchant room nights in Q3, up 22%
sequentially and 89% over the prior year.
[ ] International expansion continues to be an area of strong growth. The
company added 31 new international destinations during Q3, to a total of
120. Revenue from hotels and vacation properties outside the U.S. was 15.7%
of total revenue in the quarter, up from 12.2% in Q2 and 10.2% in the prior
year's period.
[ ] Hotels.com and Administaff, the nation's leading Professional Employer
Organization (PEO), announced a new 5-year strategic alliance. The
agreement provides Internet and telephone access to Hotels.com's discount
lodging properties for Administaff's more than 4,400 corporate clients and
75,000 worksite employees.
[ ] On October 9, 2002, Hotels.com announced the acquisition of Turbotrip, a
New Orleans-based hotel consolidator, including a ten-year exclusive
affiliate agreement with NewOrleans.com.

PRECISION RESPONSE CORPORATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] PRC's business environment continued to improve. The company grew revenue
3% vs. last year while at the same time expanding margins, and had positive
sequential growth for the third consecutive quarter. The improved results
reflect the operating efficiency initiatives implemented earlier in the
year that have improved profitability substantially despite modest revenue
growth.
[ ] PRC launched PRC Energy, a new operating unit dedicated to providing energy
specific outsourcing services to handle the unique customer care needs of
the energy industry.
INTERNATIONAL TV SHOPPING AND OTHER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] International TV Shopping and Other consists primarily of HSN International
(HSE Germany and Euvia) and TV Travel Group.
[ ] HSE Germany is making progress, with growth in sales and gross margins, and
decreased return rates as compared to last year. HSE Germany reported
revenue and EBITDA of $72.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in Q3
2002, vs. revenue and EBITDA of $60.0 million and ($5.6) million,
respectively, in the prior year.
[ ] During the quarter, USA decided to discontinue its active majority interest
in Italy and wrote down its investment in Italy, resulting in a
non-recurring charge of $31.4 million.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] On September 24, USA closed its acquisition of Interval International for
$533 million in cash.
[ ] On October 10, USA and Ticketmaster announced an agreement by which
Ticketmaster would be merged into USA. The deal is expected to close by the
end of 2002 and would result in USA issuing approximately 45.1 million new
USA common shares to former Ticketmaster shareholders. At the same time,
USA announced it has ended the processes to acquire 100% of Expedia and
Hotels.com.
[ ] Hotels.com and Expedia, USA being the controlling shareholder of both
companies, are actively exploring areas where they might work together in a
way that would benefit all their customers and stockholders. Although there
continue to be many areas of their businesses where the companies can best
achieve their goals through separate strategies and practices, there have
been instances where, fully consistent with their existing contractual
agreements, they have worked cooperatively, and we anticipate that they
will continue to explore such possibilities in the future.
[ ] USA maintained its rank as the 8th largest group in terms of online reach,
with 26.2 million unduplicated unique visitors (source: comScore Media
Metrix). (a)
