FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BANKRATE ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER
FISCAL 2009 RESULTS

New York, NY July 22, 2009 – Bankrate, Inc. (NASDAQ: RATE) today announced preliminary financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the second quarter is expected to be $31.0 million compared to $40.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 23%. Net income is expected to be $1.9 million or $0.10 per fully diluted share in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share in the second quarter of 2008. Earnings per fully diluted share, excluding share-based compensation expense (“Adjusted EPS”), is expected to be $0.19 for the second quarter of 2009, compared to Adjusted EPS of $0.33 for the second quarter of 2008.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding share-based compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”), are expected to be $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, a decline of 26%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the second quarter of 2009, including share-based compensation expense are expected to be $6.7 million compared to the $9.0 million reported in the second quarter of 2008.

“Macroeconomic conditions have continued to impact financial advertising, particularly in our banking, mortgage and credit card channels,” said Thomas R. Evans, President and CEO of Bankrate, Inc. “The softness in the financial service advertising sector has been a major contributor to our recent results. Consequently, we believe that revenue and


EBITDA for the year will be well below the current consensus estimates,” Mr. Evans added.

The second quarter 2009 estimated results are preliminary and subject to completion of the Company’s quarterly closing process and the customary review by its external auditors. Accordingly, such estimated results are subject to change. Bankrate will release its full financial second quarter 2009 results on July 30, 2009.

In a separate press release also issued today, Bankrate announced that it has agreed to be acquired by funds advised by Apax Partners for $28.50 per share in cash.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement Bankrate’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Bankrate uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Operating EPS, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Bankrate’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, Bankrate believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. In addition, because Bankrate has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, Bankrate believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Certain matters included in the discussion above may be considered to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of our management team. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements made with respect to future revenue, revenue growth, market acceptance of our products, and profitability. Investors and prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual


results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following: the willingness of our advertisers to advertise on our web site, interest rate volatility, our ability to establish and maintain distribution arrangements, our ability to integrate the operations and realize the expected benefits of businesses that we have acquired and may acquire in the future, our ability to maintain the confidence of our advertisers by detecting click-through fraud or unscrupulous advertisers, the effect of unexpected liabilities we assume from our acquisitions, the effects of expanding our operations internationally, the ability of consumers to access our Online Network through non-PC devices, our ability to manage traffic on our Online Network and service interruptions, increased competition and its effect on traffic, advertising rates, margins and market share, our ability to protect our intellectual property, the effects of facing liability for content on our Online Network, the concentration of ownership of our common stock, the fluctuations of our results of operations from period to period, the accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions, our ability to adapt to technological changes, the impact of legislative or regulatory changes affecting our business, changes in consumer spending and saving habits, changes in accounting principles, policies, practices or guidelines, effects of changes in the stock market and other capital markets, the strength of the United States economy in general, and risks to the consummation of Bankrate’s pending acquisition by affiliates of Apax Partners, L.P., including the risk that a condition to closing of such transaction may not be satisfied. These and additional important factors to be considered are set forth under “Introductory Note,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results or expectations.
