The difference between operating loss from continuing operations and net loss from continuing operations for 2012 is primarily due to non-operating, non-cash gains on previously held equity positions in companies that LivingSocial acquired during Q1 2012.

In November 2013, LivingSocial announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its Korean operations for $260 million. The transaction closed in January 2014. The statement of operations information above has been recast to present its Korean operations as discontinued operations.
