Q2 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
•Dotdash Meredith Digital revenue increased 12% to $238 million, the second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, while Print revenue declined 7%, the smallest decline since the Meredith acquisition. Total operating income of $18 million increased $36 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $12 million to $66 million, reflecting 25% Digital Adjusted EBITDA growth.

•Angi Inc. Operating income increased $25 million to $9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 115% to $42 million driven by growth at Ads and Leads, International and Services.

◦Revenue was $315 million, down 10% year-over-year driven by declines across the Domestic business from the heightened focus on profitability and customer experience, partially offset by 14% International growth.

◦Between May 3, 2024 and August 2, 2024, Angi Inc. repurchased 4.1 million common shares for an aggregate of $8.6 million (average price of $2.11).
▪Angi Inc. has repurchased 13.4 million shares since announcing the intent to fully utilize its share repurchase authorization in November 2023.
▪On August 2, 2024, the Angi Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase authorization of 25 million shares.

•Emerging & Other Q2 2024 revenue decreased 38% year-over-year reflecting the sale of Roofing on November 1, 2023 and the sale of assets of Mosaic Group on February 15, 2024. Excluding Roofing and Mosaic Group revenue in the prior year period, Emerging & Other revenue was down 1% year-over-year.

•The Company net settled its Turo warrant on July 23, 2024 (the warrant expiration date) for 4.5 million shares of Series E-2 Preferred Stock, bringing ownership in Turo to 32%.

•For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities increased $21 million to $149 million. Free Cash Flow increased $97 million to $117 million.

•IAC holds 64.7 million shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”), which was purchased for $1.3 billion in 2020 and 2022 and is worth $2.3 billion as of August 2, 2024. Net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect changes in MGM’s share price as unrealized gains and losses and, as a result, can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance.

•Revenue of $425.2 million increased 3% year-over-year reflecting:

•Higher programmatic advertising revenue due to higher programmatic rates and 9% growth in Core Sessions
•Higher premium sold advertising revenue driven primarily by the Home/Consumer Packaged Goods, Retail and Travel categories
▪Licensing and other revenue increasing 19% due primarily to improved performance from content syndication partners including Apple News+ and the addition of OpenAI (partnership began in May 2024)
▪Performance marketing revenue was flat year-over-year driven by 17% affiliate commerce growth, offset by revenue declines from services, concentrated primarily in the Finance category

Search
•Revenue decreased 43% to $101.8 million reflecting:

◦An 11% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business)

•Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA both decreased $9.3 million to $4.6 million driven by lower revenue and a revenue mix shift to lower-margin channels due, in part, to the wind down of the Desktop direct-to-consumer business


Emerging & Other
•Revenue decreased 38% to $107.5 million reflecting:
◦The sale of Mosaic Group on February 15, 2024 ($39.0 million included in Q2 2023)

▪Mosaic Group profits in Q2 2023
◦$0.7 million lower amortization of intangibles due primarily to Care.com





Page 6 of 18
Corporate
Operating loss decreased $0.6 million to $37.7 million due to $0.3 million lower Adjusted EBITDA losses, driven by lower legal fees and $0.6 million lower stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by $0.4 million higher depreciation.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $34.6 million in Q2 2024 for an effective tax rate of 20%, which is lower than the statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible compensation expense, partially offset by research credits and state taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $24.3 million in Q2 2023 for an effective tax rate of 21%, which is the same as the statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible compensation expense, partially offset by research credits.

Free Cash Flow increased $97.1 million to $117.3 million due primarily to higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower capital expenditures ($80.3 million in 2023 for the purchase of the land under IAC headquarters).

DILUTIVE SECURITIES
IAC has various dilutive securities. The table below details these securities as well as potential dilution at various stock prices (shares in millions; rounding differences may occur).

Total Diluted Shares Outstanding84.2 84.2 84.2 84.2 84.3 
The dilutive securities presentation is calculated using the methods and assumptions described below, which are different from those used for GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury stock method. In addition, the number of absolute shares excludes 3 million shares of restricted stock because this award was unvested as of August 2, 2024.

The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise, and in the case of options, assuming no proceeds are received by the Company. Any required withholding taxes are paid in cash by the Company on behalf of the employees. In addition, the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the vesting or exercise of these awards is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares. Assuming all awards were exercised or vested on August 2, 2024, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $99.9 million (of which approximately 65% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before June 30, 2025), assuming a stock price of $46.98 and a 50% withholding rate. The table above assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used at June 30, 2024. The number of shares ultimately needed to settle these awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant subsidiary. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.
Angi Inc. Equity Awards and the Treatment of the Related Dilutive Effect
Certain Angi Inc. equity awards can be settled either in IAC or Angi Inc. common shares at IAC’s election. For purposes of the dilution calculation above, these awards are assumed to be settled in shares of Angi Inc. common stock; therefore, no dilution from these awards is included.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is considered our primary segment measure of profitability and is one of the metrics, along with Free Cash Flow, by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses and our internal budgets are based and may also impact management compensation. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP 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. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which are included in this release. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, if applicable. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to analysts and investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account non-operational cash movements. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. For example, it does not take into account stock repurchases. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA

Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans and expense related to awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding amounts for net-settled awards from its current funds.

Please see page 9 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of August 2, 2024, and a description of the calculation methodology.

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, capitalized software, equipment and leasehold improvements and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.

Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as advertiser relationships, technology, licensee relationships, trade names, content, customer lists and user base, service professional relationships and subscriber relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are accounting adjustments to report liabilities for the portion of the purchase price of acquisitions, if applicable, that is contingent upon the financial performance and/or operating targets of the acquired company at fair value that are recognized in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business.
