Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On February 18, 2010, WebMD Health Corp. issued a press release announcing its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report contains the financial tables that accompanied the press release. Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report contains an Annex to the press release entitled “Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.4 are being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall any of those exhibits be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

     As previously disclosed, the merger of HLTH Corporation and WebMD (the “Merger”) was completed on October 23, 2009. The applicable accounting treatment for the Merger results in HLTH being treated as the acquiring entity, even though WebMD was the surviving company in the Merger. Accordingly, prior period financial information included in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 reflects the historical activity of HLTH, with the following adjustments:

	•		weighted-average shares outstanding used in computing income per common share are adjusted by multiplying the historical weighted-average shares outstanding for HLTH, for the respective periods, by the 0.4444 exchange ratio in the Merger; and
	•		basic and diluted income per common share are calculated to reflect the adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding for the respective periods.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the above adjustments apply to the portion of the quarter prior to the completion of the Merger on October 23, 2009 and the actual outstanding shares were used following the completion of the Merger.

     The consolidated accounts of HLTH included, until the completion of the Merger, 100% of the assets and liabilities of WebMD, which was more than 80% owned by HLTH until the Merger. The ownership interests of the noncontrolling stockholders of WebMD are recorded as “noncontrolling interest” in the December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet included in Exhibit 99.2. In the statements of operations included in Exhibit 99.2, “Net income attributable to Company stockholders” reflects an adjustment for the noncontrolling stockholders’ share of the net income of WebMD until completion of the Merger.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

     Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report includes forward-looking financial information that accompanied Exhibit 99.1. Exhibit 99.3 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
