NOTE 1—
THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As used herein, “IAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
Nature of Operations
IAC today is comprised of category leading businesses, including Dotdash Meredith (“DDM”) and Care.com among others and holds strategic equity positions in MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) and Turo Inc. (“Turo”).
Angi Inc. Spin-Off
On March 31, 2025, IAC completed the spin-off of Angi Inc. (“Angi”) by means of a special dividend (the “Distribution”) of all shares of Angi capital stock held by IAC to holders of its common stock and Class B common stock. As a result of the Distribution, IAC no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent public company. On November 1, 2023, Angi completed the sale of Total Home Roofing, LLC (“Roofing”) and reflected it as a discontinued operation in its standalone financial statements. At the time of its sale, Roofing did not meet the threshold to be reflected as a discontinued operation at the IAC level, therefore, IAC moved Roofing to Emerging & Other. As a result of the Distribution, the operations of Angi, which include Roofing, are presented as discontinued operations within IAC’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 31, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (referred to herein as “financial statements”) in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements include all accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between entities comprising the Company have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable equity securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the recoverability of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”); the useful lives and recoverability of buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; the fair value of interest rate swaps; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; pension and post-retirement benefit plan asset and liabilities, including actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, inflation and healthcare costs; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
General Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all authorized parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”), applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money.
In addition, as permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is tied to sales-based or usage-based royalties, allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations, or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
The Company also applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $
78.6
million and less than $
0.1
million, respectively, at March 31, 2025, and $
56.6
million and $
0.1
million, respectively, at December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $
35.7
million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2024. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $
93.6
million and $
0.1
million, respectively, at December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $
46.8
million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2023. The change in the deferred revenue balance from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 reflects a further reduction of $
24.5
million related to the sale of assets of Mosaic Group on February 15, 2024. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the balance sheet.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Services Agreement with Google
On January 20, 2025, the Company entered into a further amendment to its Services Agreement (the “Amendment”), with the amended terms effective on April 1, 2025. Following the execution of the Amendment, the expiration date of the Services Agreement was extended from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, with an automatic renewal for an additional one-year period absent notice of non-renewal from either party on or before December 31, 2025. The Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. A portion of the Company’s net cash from operating activities that it can freely access is attributable to revenue earned pursuant to the Services Agreement and other revenue earned from Google.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates have in the past (and could in the future) require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which have negatively impacted revenue and been costly to address (and could in the future), which have had and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, changes to certain of the economic terms of the Services Agreement became effective April 1, 2025 and could impact Search revenue.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total revenue earned from Google was $
99.2
million and $
131.4
million, respectively, representing
17
% and
21
%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. The related accounts receivable totaled $
38.2
million and $
43.7
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned at Search and was $
69.8
million and $
102.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing
12
% and
16
%, respectively of the Company’s total revenue.

results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company does not plan to adopt ASU No. 2023-09 early.
ASU No. 2024-03—Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which is intended to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information about expenses of a public business entity, primarily through enhanced disclosures of certain components of expenses commonly presented within captions on the statement of operations, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU No. 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and ASU No. 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing ASU No. 2024-03, its impact on its disclosures and method of adoption. ASU No. 2024-03 does not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company does not plan to adopt ASU No. 2024-03 early.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•
Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
•
Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.
•
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Warrant
The Company owns preferred shares of Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, which are accounted for as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, as the preferred shares are not common stock equivalents. As part of the Company’s original investment in Turo preferred shares, the Company received a warrant that was recorded at fair value each reporting period with any change in fair value included in “Other income, net” in the statement of operations. The warrant was measured using significant unobservable inputs and classified in the fair value hierarchy table as Level 3. 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 and the fair value of the warrant of $
70.0
million was reclassified to equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The Company had measured this warrant at fair value at June 30, 2024 using the settlement value of the shares received pursuant to its net exercise on July 23, 2024.
For the periods prior to the settlement, the warrant was included in “Other non-current assets” in the balance sheet.
The following table presents the change in the warrant for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets, buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The Company's financial assets, comprising equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes for similar or identical securities are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.
Financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes
The total fair value of the outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, is estimated using observable market prices or indices for similar liabilities, which are Level 2 inputs, and was approximately $
1.47
billion and $
1.49
billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

million DDM Term Loan A due December 1, 2026 (“DDM Term Loan A”), (ii) the
seven-year
$
1.25
billion DDM Loan B due December 1, 2028 (“DDM Loan B”) and (iii) a
five-year
$
150
million revolving credit facility (“DDM Revolving Facility”). On November 26, 2024, DDM entered into Amendment No. 1 to the DDM Credit Agreement (the “Amended DDM Credit Agreement”), which governs both the existing DDM Term Loan A and the DDM Revolving Facility, and replaced $
1.18
billion of then outstanding DDM Term Loan B principal with an equal amount of DDM Term Loan B-1 due December 1, 2028 (“DDM Term Loan B-1”). DDM Term Loan A and DDM Term Loan B-1 are collectively referred to as the “DDM Term Loans”.
DDM Term Loan A bears interest at an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), as defined in the Amended DDM Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin depending on DDM’s most recently reported consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended DDM Credit Agreement. The adjustment to the secured overnight financing rate is fixed at
0.10
% for DDM Term Loan A. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, DDM Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus
2.25
%, or
6.66
% and
6.94
%, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, DDM Term Loan B-1 bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, subject to a minimum of
0.50
%, plus
3.50
%, or
7.82
% and
8.05
%, respectively. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the respective maturity dates of the DDM Term Loans.
DDM holds interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $
350
million, which synthetically convert a portion of DDM Term Loan B and, following the effectiveness of the Amended DDM Credit Agreement, DDM Term Loan B-1, from a variable rate to a fixed rate to manage interest rate risk exposure until April 1, 2027. Should Adjusted Term SOFR continue to equal or exceed
0.50
%, then the fixed rate for DDM Term Loan B-1 will be approximately
7.32
% ((i) the weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately
3.82
% on the interest rate swaps and (ii) the base rate of
3.50
%). In the event Adjusted Term SOFR becomes less than
0.50
%, then the interest rate swaps would be fixed in a range from approximately
7.32
% to
7.42
% as determined by the governing agreements.
DDM has designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and applies hedge accounting to these contracts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the changes in fair value recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the balance sheet. Realized gains or losses are reclassified into “Interest expense” in the statement of operations. The cash flows related to interest settlements of the hedged monthly interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows, consistent with the interest expense on the related DDM Term Loan B-1 and DDM Term Loan B.
DDM assessed hedge effectiveness at the time of entering into these agreements and determined these interest rate swaps are expected to be highly effective. DDM evaluates the hedge effectiveness of the interest rate swaps quarterly, or more frequently, if necessary, by verifying (i) that the critical terms of the interest rate swaps continue to match the critical terms of the hedged interest payments and (ii) that it is probable the counterparties will not default. If the two requirements are met, the interest rate swaps are determined to be effective and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” See “
Note 4—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
” for the net unrealized gains and losses before reclassifications in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and realized gains reclassified into “Interest expense” for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. At March 31, 2025, approximately $
0.4
million is expected to be reclassified into interest expense within the next twelve months as net realized gains.
DDM Term Loan A requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $
8.8
million through December 31, 2025 and approximately $
13.1
million thereafter through maturity. DDM Term Loan B-1 requires quarterly payments of $
3.0
million commencing March 31, 2026 through maturity. DDM Term Loan B-1 may require additional annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which, in part, is governed by the applicable net leverage ratio and further subject to the excess cash flow exceeding certain thresholds as defined in the Amended DDM Credit Agreement. No such payment was required related to the period ended December 31, 2024.
There were
no
outstanding borrowings under the DDM Revolving Facility at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on DDM’s most recently reported consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the governing agreements, was
40
basis points at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Any borrowings under the DDM Revolving Facility would bear interest, at DDM’s option, at either a base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin, which is based on DDM’s consolidated net leverage ratio.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
As of the last day of any calendar quarter, subject to certain exemptions and increases for qualifying material acquisitions, the Amended DDM Credit Agreement requires DDM to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last day of such quarter of no greater than
5.5
to 1.0, all as defined in the governing agreements. This ratio was not exceeded for the test periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Amended DDM Credit Agreement also contains covenants that would limit DDM’s ability to pay dividends, incur incremental secured indebtedness, or make distributions or certain investments in the event a default has occurred or if DDM’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds
4.0
to 1.0, subject to certain available amounts, all as defined in the governing agreements. DDM did not exceed this ratio for the test periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The DDM Credit Agreement permitted and the Amended DDM Credit Agreement permits the Company to, among other things, contribute cash to DDM, which has in the past and may in the future provide, among other things, additional liquidity to ensure that DDM does not exceed certain consolidated net leverage ratios for any test period, as defined in the governing agreements. In connection with these capital contributions, DDM may make distributions to the Company in amounts not to exceed these capital contributions, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing. No quarterly contributions have been made to DDM since September 2024, which DDM distributed to the Company in October 2024; therefore, there were no pending contributions or distributions outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company contributed $
55
million to DDM, which DDM subsequently distributed to the Company in April 2024. Absent these contributions, DDM’s consolidated net leverage ratio would not have exceeded
5.5
to 1.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. DDM distributed $
105
million back to IAC in January 2024 related to the Company’s contribution in December 2023.
The obligations under the DDM Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of DDM’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of DDM and certain of its subsidiaries.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The overall concept that the Company employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with the chief operating decision maker’s (“CODM”) view of the businesses. The Office of the Chairman, which is comprised of certain executives and members of the board of directors, is the CODM of the Company. We consider how the businesses are organized as to segment management and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes in the case of Emerging & Other because they do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate reportable segments.

Segment Reporting Performance Measure and Reconciliations
Adjusted EBITDA is the segment reporting performance measure used by the CODM as one of the metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, and our internal budgets are based and may impact management compensation. 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.

NOTE 7—
INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company’s tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision or benefit in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $
79.2
million, which represents an effective income tax rate of
26
%, which was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes and nontaxable stock-based compensation expense which was reversed due to the forfeiture of our former CEO’s restricted stock award pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $
46.5
million which represents an effective income tax rate of
48
%, which was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the non-deductible portion of goodwill in the sale of the assets of Mosaic Group, nondeductible compensation expense, and state taxes, partially offset by research credits and the realization of a capital loss.
As a result of the Distribution, the Company has allocated to Angi a portion of the tax attributes related to the consolidated federal and state tax filings pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. This allocation requires that the Company’s net deferred tax liability be adjusted in the year of the Distribution with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The allocation of attributes that was recorded as of March 31, 2025 is preliminary and subject to adjustments. An allocation of additional tax attributes will be made at the close of the tax year on December 31, 2025 as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, as well as upon the filing of the 2025 tax return and potential tax audits in the future.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2015. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accruals for interest and penalties are not material.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $
16.3
million and $
15.7
million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 2025 increased by $
0.6
million due primarily to research credits. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2025 are subsequently recognized, $
15.3
million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount at December 31, 2024 was $
14.7
million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $
0.3
million by March 31, 2026 due to expected settlements and statute expirations, all of which would reduce the income tax provision from continuing operations.
NOTE 8—
(LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company treats its common stock and Class B common stock as one class of stock for net earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) purposes as both classes of stock participate in earnings, dividends and other distributions on the same basis. On January 13, 2025, the restricted common stock award of
3.0
million shares (“restricted shares”) previously issued to our former CEO on November 5, 2020 (such award, the “Restricted Stock Award”), which was a participating security, was forfeited by Mr. Levin pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement. For all periods presented in these financial statement, the Company calculated basic EPS using the two-class method prior to the restricted shares being forfeited because those restricted shares were unvested and had a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declared a cash dividend on its common shares and would have participated in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares. Diluted EPS is calculated on the most dilutive basis, which excludes stock-based awards that would be anti-dilutive, including prior to its forfeiture the restricted stock award previously granted to our former CEO.
Undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security is subtracted from earnings in determining earnings attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock for basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period.
For the calculation of diluted EPS, net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock is adjusted for the reallocation of undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security by the weighted-average number of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities during the period.

(a)
On November 5, 2020, IAC’s CEO was granted the Restricted Stock Award. On January 13, 2025, the Restricted Stock Award was forfeited by Mr. Levin pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement. For all periods presented in these financial statements, the Company calculated EPS using the two-class method since prior to the restricted shares being forfeited those restricted shares were unvested and had a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declared a cash dividend on its common shares and would have participated in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares.
(b)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a loss from continuing operations and, as a result approximately
4.3
million of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from computing diluted EPS for the period because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding were used to compute the EPS amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
(c)
If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and subsidiary denominated equity and vesting of restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024,
3.4
million of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10—
CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal and other matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain legal and other matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no accrual is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, and for which the Company cannot estimate a loss or range of loss, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including unrecognized tax benefits and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See “
Note 7—Income Taxes
” for information related to unrecognized tax benefits.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
IAC and Angi
Allocation of CEO Compensation and Certain Expenses
Joseph Levin, served as CEO of Angi from October 10, 2022 through April 8, 2024, at which point Jeffrey W. Kip, President of Angi, was appointed to succeed Joseph Levin as CEO of Angi. Mr. Levin served as CEO of IAC from June 24, 2015 through March 31, 2025. As a result, IAC allocated $
2.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in costs to Angi (including salary, benefits, stock-based compensation and costs related to the CEO’s office). These costs were allocated from IAC based upon time spent on Angi by Mr. Levin. Management considered the allocation method to be reasonable. The allocated costs also included costs directly attributable to Angi that were initially paid for by IAC and billed by IAC to Angi.
Upon the completion of the spin-off of Angi on March 31, 2025, Mr. Levin stepped down from his role as CEO of IAC and became an advisor to the Company. Mr. Levin was appointed Executive Chairman of Angi, effective upon his departure from IAC.
The Combination, Distribution and Related Agreements
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The Company and Angi, in connection with the transaction resulting in the formation of Angi in 2017, which is referred to as the “Combination,” entered into a contribution agreement, an investor rights agreement, a services agreement, a tax sharing agreement and an employee matters agreement, which collectively governed the relationship between IAC and Angi prior to the Distribution.
Following the completion of the Distribution on March 31, 2025, IAC no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent, public company. In addition, Angi is no longer considered a related party. The agreements between IAC and Angi that were put in place in connection with the Combination survive the Distribution in accordance with their terms, with certain exceptions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, pursuant to the employee matters agreement and prior to the Distribution and the one-for-ten reverse stock split at Angi that occurred on March 24, 2025,
1.2
million shares of Angi Class A common stock were issued to a subsidiary of the Company as reimbursement for IAC common stock issued in connection with the exercise and settlement of certain Angi stock appreciation rights.
The services agreement governed services that IAC provided to Angi through the Distribution. In connection with the Distribution, Angi and IAC updated the schedule of services provided under the services agreement to reflect the provision of certain services requested by Angi through the earlier of March 31, 2026, or such time as Angi may notify IAC that it no longer requires such services, on terms consistent with the services agreement, including Angi’s continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan until January 1, 2026.
Pursuant to the employee matters agreement, in the event of a distribution of Angi capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the IAC Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Following the Distribution, solely for purposes of determining the expiration of options with respect to shares of common stock of one company held by employees of the other company, IAC and Angi employees will be deemed employed by both companies for so long as they continue to be employed by whichever of the companies employs them immediately following the Distribution. While the employee matters agreement will remain in place following the completion of the Distribution, Angi’s continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan will no longer be covered by the employee matters agreement upon effectiveness of the Distribution and will instead be covered under the services agreement as described above.
In connection with the Distribution, IAC and Angi terminated a sub-lease arrangement wherein IAC subleased certain office space to Angi and upon completion of the Distribution, the investor rights agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.
IAC and Vimeo Inc. (
“
Vimeo
”
)
In connection with the spin-off of Vimeo from IAC, the parties entered in several agreements to govern their relationship following the completion of the transaction, certain of which remain in effect and are as follows: a separation agreement, a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. Following the completion of the transaction, Vimeo and IAC entered into certain commercial agreements, including lease agreements between Vimeo and the Company’s subsidiary, Angi. The Company and Vimeo are related parties because Mr. Diller is the beneficial owner of more than
ten
percent of the voting interests in both IAC and Vimeo.
Prior to the Distribution, the Company charged Vimeo rent pursuant to lease agreements of $
0.9
million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company had non-current rent receivable amounts of $
0.4
million at December 31, 2024 due from Vimeo pursuant to the lease agreements. This amount was included in “Non-current assets of discontinued operations” in the balance sheet.
At March 31, 2025, the Company has
no
outstanding receivables due from Vimeo pursuant to the agreements noted above.

IAC and Expedia Group
At March 31, 2025, the Company and Expedia Group each have
50
% ownership interest in
two
aircraft that may be used by both companies. Members of the aircraft flight crew are employed by an entity in which the Company and Expedia Group each have
50
% ownership interest. The Company and Expedia Group have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits pro-rata according to each company’s respective usage of the aircraft, for which they are separately billed by the entity described above. The Company and Expedia Group are related parties because Mr. Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both IAC and Expedia Group. For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total payments made to this entity by the Company were not material.
Expedia Group may also use an aircraft owned
100
% by a subsidiary of the Company on a cost basis. For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the payments made by Expedia Group to the Company pursuant to this arrangement were not material.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company and Expedia Group entered into a
five-year
lease agreement, which commenced October 2024, for Expedia Group to occupy office space in the Company’s New York City headquarters building. The total payments pursuant to this lease agreement are not material.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
Management Overview
IAC today is comprised of category leading businesses, including Dotdash Meredith (“DDM”) and Care.com among others and holds strategic equity positions in MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) and Turo Inc. (“Turo”).
As used herein, “IAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” and similar terms refer to IAC Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
For a more detailed description of the Company’s operating businesses, see “Description of IAC Businesses” included in “Item 1—Business” to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Angi Inc. Spin-Off
On March 31, 2025, IAC completed the spin-off of Angi Inc. (“Angi”) by means of a special dividend (the “Distribution”) of all shares of Angi capital stock held by IAC to holders of its common stock and Class B common stock. As a result of the Distribution, IAC no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent public company. On November 1, 2023, Angi completed the sale of Total Home Roofing, LLC (“Roofing”) and reflected it as a discontinued operation in its standalone financial statements. At the time of its sale, Roofing did not meet the threshold to be reflected as a discontinued operation at the IAC level, therefore, IAC moved Roofing to Emerging & Other. As a result of the Distribution, the operations of Angi, which include Roofing, are presented as discontinued operations within IAC’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 31, 2025.

On January 20, 2025, the Company entered into a further amendment to its Services Agreement (the “Amendment”), with the amended terms effective on April 1, 2025. Following the execution of the Amendment, the expiration date of the Services Agreement was extended from March 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, with an automatic renewal for an additional one-year period absent notice of non-renewal from either party on or before December 31, 2025.
Google has made changes to the policies under the Services Agreement and has also made industry-wide changes that have in the past (and could in the future) require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which have negatively impacted revenue and been costly to address (and could in the future), which have had and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, changes to certain of the economic terms of the Services Agreement became effective April 1, 2025 and could impact Search revenue. See “
Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “
Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements
” for additional information on the Services Agreement with Google.
•
DDM revenue increased 1% to $393.1 million due to an increase of $14.9 million, or 7%, from Digital, partially offset by a decrease of $12.1 million, or 7%, from Print.
◦
The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $7.5 million, or 30%, in Licensing and Other revenue, $5.7 million, or 11%, in Performance marketing revenue and $1.7 million, or 1%, in Advertising revenue.
The increase in Licensing and Other revenue was due primarily to the addition of the OpenAI partnership, which began in May 2024, and improved performance of content syndication partners including Apple News+. The increase in Performance marketing revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue, partially offset by a decrease in performance marketing service revenue in the Finance category.
The increase in Advertising revenue was driven primarily by an increase in premium advertising sold through the DDM sales team in the Technology, Retail and Beauty & Style categories, partially offset by lower programmatic revenue as a result of lower impression volumes driven by a 3% decrease in Core Sessions, partially offset by higher programmatic rates.
◦
The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $5.2 million, or 12%, in advertising revenue, $3.6 million, or 5% in subscription revenue, $2.6 million, or 9%, in project and other revenue and $2.4 million, or 23%, in performance marketing revenue. The decreases in advertising revenue, subscription revenue and performance marketing revenue are all due, in part, to ongoing portfolio optimization changes that resulted in a reduction in the number of issues sold in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter and the ongoing migration of audience from print to digital platforms. The decrease in project and other revenue was due primarily to political advertising spend from a legacy agency business in 2024 on third-party publisher platforms.
•
Care.com revenue decreased
4% to $88.9 million due primarily to a decrease of $4.8 million, or 9%, in Consumer Revenue, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million, or 3%, in Enterprise Revenue. The decrease in Consumer Revenue was driven by a lower number of subscriptions on the Care.com platform. The increase in Enterprise Revenue was primarily due to an increase in backup care usage.
•
Search revenue decreased 35% to $70.3 million due to decreases of $32.3 million, or 36%, from Ask Media Group, resulting from a reduction in marketing from affiliate partners that drove fewer visitors to our ad supported search and content websites and $5.9 million, or 32%, from Desktop due primarily to a decline in search queries from our legacy business-to-business partnership operations.
•
Emerging & Other revenue decreased 46% to $18.3 million due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year period of $17.9 million in revenue from Mosaic Group, the assets of which were sold on February 15, 2024, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $2.6 million, or 72%, from The Daily Beast.

•
The Search decrease was due primarily to a decrease in traffic acquisition costs of $39.3 million following a decrease in revenue and the proportion of revenue earned from affiliate partners who direct traffic to our websites.
•
The Emerging & Other decrease was due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year period of $7.8 million in expense from Mosaic Group, the assets of which were sold on February 15, 2024.

The DDM decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $13.5 million from Print, partially offset by an increase of $9.4 million from Digital.

The Print decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $10.9 million in production and distribution costs (postage, printing, paper and content) resulting from the planned reduction in the number of printed copies of certain publications and a decrease in paper costs and a decrease of $2.1 million in compensation expense primarily related to headcount reductions in the fourth quarter of 2024 intended to better align resources with strategic initiatives.
◦
The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $5.6 million in compensation expense and $2.0 million in both traffic acquisition costs and content costs. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to an increase in headcount to better align resources with strategic initiatives. The increase in traffic acquisition costs was due primarily to a new contractual relationship entered into in the prior year to increase programmatic revenue rates. The increase in content costs was due primarily to increased demand for custom content campaigns within premium advertising revenue.
Selling and marketing expense in
2025

The decrease at Care.com was due primarily to certain capitalized software being fully depreciated. The increase at DDM was due primarily to accelerated depreciation expense recognized in 2025 on certain leasehold improvements in connection with the termination of a lease for certain unoccupied office space, partially offset by certain assets being fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2024 and accelerated depreciation expense recognized in 2024 on certain leasehold improvements in connection with the termination of a lease.
Amortization of intangibles in 2025 decreased from 2024 due primarily to lower expense at DDM due to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized in the prior year.

Operating income in 2025 increased $99.2 million to $35.8 million from a loss of $63.4 million in 2024 due primarily to an increase of $45.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA, described below, a decrease of $39.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and decreases of $13.2 million in amortization of intangibles and $0.8 million in depreciation, both described above. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to a reversal of expense resulting from an increase in awards being forfeited in the current year, as described above in the general and administrative expense discussion, partially offset by new awards granted in 2024.
At March 31, 2025, there was $96.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2
years.

Includes a pre-tax gain of $29.2 million on the sale of assets of Mosaic Group, which was included within Emerging & Other, and was accounted for as a sale of a business, in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
In 2025, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes and nontaxable stock-based compensation expense, which was reversed due to the forfeiture of our former CEO’s restricted stock award pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement.
In 2024, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the nondeductible portion of the goodwill in the sale of Mosaic Group, nondeductible compensation expense, and state taxes, partially offset by the realization of a capital loss and research credits.

Net (earnings) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2025 and 2024 primarily represents the publicly-held interest in Angi’s earnings and losses prior to the Distribution.
The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is our primary segment measure of profitability and among the metrics 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. This non-GAAP measure 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 Company endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)
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.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation
expense
consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans that are denominated in IAC common shares and expense related to awards denominated in the equity of 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; the related shares are included in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company currently settles all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding on behalf of employees for net-settled awards from its current funds.
Depreciation
is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software 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, licensee relationships, trade names, content, technology, customer lists and user base, and professional 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.
The following tables reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s reportable segments and net (loss) earnings attributable to IAC shareholders:

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of net earnings (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and the effect of changes in working capital. Non-cash adjustments include the unrealized losses (gains) on the investment in MGM, deferred income taxes, amortization of intangibles, net gain on lease terminations, net loss (gain) on sales of investments and businesses (including unrealized losses on investments), stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, non-cash lease expense (including ROU impairments) and unrealized decrease in the estimated fair value of a warrant.
Adjustments to net loss from continuing operations consist primarily of an unrealized loss on the investment in MGM of $324.3 million, amortization of intangibles of $23.5 million, depreciation of $11.9 million, non-cash lease expense (including ROU impairments) of $9.0 million and net loss on sales investments and businesses (including unrealized losses on investments) of $7.5 million, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $80.6 million, net gain on lease terminations of $36.0 million and stock-based compensation expense of $20.4 million. The decrease from changes in working capital includes decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $48.2 million, a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $34.3 million and an increase in other assets of $32.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $79.0 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $22.6 million. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to a decrease in accrued employee compensation, due primarily to payment of 2024 bonuses in 2025, a decrease in accrued payroll due to timing of payments and a decrease at DDM due to severance payments, and a decrease in accrued traffic acquisition costs and related payables at Search, partially offset by an increase in a liability related to the settlement of a legal matter. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases, including $26.1 million related to the termination of a lease for certain unoccupied office space at DDM described under “Contractual Obligations” below, net of interest accretion. The increase in other assets is due primarily to a receivable related to insurance coverage for the aforementioned legal matter. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2025 relative to the fourth quarter of 2024 at DDM. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to timing of annual subscription renewals at Care.com.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes a cash distribution of $386.6 million related to the Distribution and capital expenditures of $4.7 million, partially offset by net proceeds from the sales of investments and businesses of $10.1 million and proceeds from the sale of a portion of the retirement investment fund of $5.2 million at DDM.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes the repurchase of 3.9 million shares of common stock, on a settlement date basis, for $179.4 million at an average price of $45.71 per share, withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $45.2 million and principal payments on DDM Term Loans of $8.8 million.
2024
Adjustments to net earnings from continuing operations consist primarily of an unrealized gain on the investment in MGM of $163.8 million and net gain on sales of businesses and investments (including unrealized losses on investments) of $25.9 million primarily related to the sale of assets at Mosaic Group in February 2024, partially offset by deferred taxes of $39.8 million, amortization of intangibles of $36.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $19.5 million, depreciation of $12.7 million, non-cash lease expense of $10.4 million and an unrealized decrease in the estimated fair value of a warrant of $10.2 million. The increase from changes in working capital includes a decrease in accounts receivable of $81.8 million, a decrease in other assets of $31.2 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $17.7 million and an increase in income taxes payable and receivable of $5.8 million, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $72.1 million and operating lease liabilities of $13.2 million. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the fourth quarter of 2023 at DDM and a decrease at Mosaic Group due to cash receipts prior to the sale of its assets. The decrease in other assets is due primarily to receipt of pre-acquisition income tax refunds at DDM and a decrease in prepaid hosting services at DDM and Corporate. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to timing of annual subscription renewals at Care.com. The increase in income taxes payable and receivable is due to income tax accruals in excess of payments, primarily due to the sale of assets of Mosaic Group. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to decreases in accrued employee compensation, due primarily to payment of 2023 bonuses in 2024 and a decrease in accrued payroll due to timing of payments, and accrued traffic acquisition costs and related payables at Search and DDM. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion.
Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes net proceeds from the sales of businesses and investments of $159.7 million, including $155 million from the sale of assets of Mosaic Group, maturities of marketable debt securities of $137.5 million and net proceeds from the sales of assets of $12.7 million, principally from the sale of an aircraft at DDM, partially offset by $123.1 million for the purchases of marketable debt securities and capital expenditures of $2.9 million.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $8.2 million and principal payments on DDM Term Loans of $7.5 million.
Net cash used in and provided by discontinued operations of $29.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, relates to the operations of Angi. The Company does not expect significant cash flows from discontinued operations following the Distribution.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Investment in MGM
At March 31, 2025, the Company owns 64.7 million common shares of MGM. Based on the number of MGM common shares outstanding at March 31, 2025, the Company owns 23.1% o
f MGM
.
Investment in Turo
At March 31, 2025, IAC’s ownership percentage in Turo is approximately 32%.
Share Repurchase Authorizations and Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, IAC repurchased 3.9 million shares of its common stock, on a trade date basis, at $45.71 per share, or $179.4 million in aggregate, consisting of the remaining 3.7 million shares of its existing stock repurchase authorization from June 2020 (the “2020 Share Authorization”) and 0.2 million shares of its new stock repurchase authorization of 10 million shares, which was approved by the board of directors of IAC on March 16, 2025 (the “2025 Share Authorization”). From April 1, 2025 through May 2, 2025, IAC repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock, on a trade date basis, at $36.55, or $20.6 million in aggregate. At May 2, 2025, IAC has 9.2 million shares remaining in the 2025 Share Authorization.
IAC may repurchase shares pursuant to its repurchase authorization over an indefinite period of time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, price and future outlook.
Contractual Obligations
At March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations disclosures as of December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As previously disclosed, during the first quarter of 2025, DDM entered into an agreement that terminated its lease for certain unoccupied office space, which otherwise would have expired in 2032, for a total payment of $43.1 million, consisting of equal payments paid in January and April 2025. The Company recorded a gain on the lease termination of $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is reflected in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. The termination of this lease reduces future fixed lease payments by $101.7 million.
Capital Expenditures
The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company’s 2025 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than its 2024 capital expenditures of $15.0 million by approximately 30% to 40%, due primarily to an increase related to capitalized software at DDM.
Liquidity Assessment
On a consolidated basis, the Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025; excluding the positive cash flows from operating activities of $16.6 million generated by DDM, the Company generated negative cash flows from operating activities of $16.6 million.
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion, of which $242.6 million was held by DDM. The Company’s consolidated debt of approximately $1.5 billion is the liability of DDM.
The Amended DDM Credit Agreement contains covenants that would limit DDM’s ability to pay dividends, incur incremental secured indebtedness, make distributions or certain investments in the event a default has occurred or if DDM’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0, subject to certain available amounts, all as defined in the Amended DDM Credit Agreement. DDM did not exceed this ratio for the test period ended March 31, 2025. The Amended DDM Credit Agreement also permits IAC to, among other things, contribute cash to DDM, which has in the past and may in the future provide, among other things, additional liquidity to ensure that DDM does not exceed certain consolidated net leverage ratios for any test period, as defined in the Amended DDM Credit Agreement. In connection with these capital contributions, DDM may make distributions to the Company in amounts not to exceed these capital contributions, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing. No quarterly contributions have been made to DDM since September 2024, which DDM distributed to the Company in October 2024; therefore, there were no pending contributions or distributions outstanding as of March 31, 2025. See “
Note 3—Long-term Debt
” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “
Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements
” for additional information.
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services due to adverse market or macroeconomic conditions or other factors.
The Company believes DDM’s existing cash, cash equivalents and expected positive cash flows from operations, and the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and expected positive cash flows from operations, excluding DDM, will be sufficient to fund their respective normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards and investing and other commitments for the next twelve months, and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to refinance its existing capital structure and make acquisitions and investments. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions or volatility in the financial markets. The indebtedness at DDM could further limit the Company’s ability to raise additional financing.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Equity Price Risk
At March 31, 2025, the Company owns 64.7 million common shares of MGM. The Company accounts for its investment in MGM under the equity method of accounting and has elected to account for this investment pursuant to the fair value option. The fair value of the investment in MGM is remeasured each reporting period based upon MGM’s closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day in the reporting period and any unrealized pre-tax gains or losses are included in the statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized pre-tax losses and gains from its investment in MGM of $324.3 million and $163.8 million
, respectively.
The cumulative unrealized net pre-tax gain through March 31, 2025 is $654.5 million. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in MGM, which includes the cumulative unrealized pre-tax gain, was $1.9 billion and $2.2 billion, or approximately 27% and 23% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, respectively. A $2.00 increase or decrease in the share price of MGM would result in an unrealized gain or loss, respectively, of $129.4 million. At May 2, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s investment in MGM was
$2.1 billion
. The Company’s results of operations and financial condition have in the past been and may in the future be materially impacted by increases or decreases in the price of MGM common shares.
Interest Rate Risk
At March 31, 2025, the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding debt totals $1.47 billion pertaining to the DDM Term Loans, which bear interest at variable rates.
DDM holds interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350 million, which synthetically converts a portion of DDM Term Loan B-1 due December 1, 2028 from a variable rate to a fixed rate to manage interest rate exposure until April 1, 2027. DDM applies hedge accounting to these contracts. See “
Note 3—Long-term Debt
” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “
Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements
” for more information. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using discounted cash flows derived from observable market prices, including swap curves, and represents what DDM would pay or receive to terminate the swap agreements. DDM intends to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, however, if these interest rate swaps were not highly effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps used as hedges could have a significant impact on future results of operations.
At March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of $1.18 billion related to DDM Term Loan B-1 bore interest at adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 3.50%, or 7.82%, and the outstanding balance of $288.8 million related to DDM Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, or 6.66%. If Adjusted Term SOFR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the annual interest expense on the DDM Term Loans, net of the impact related to the $350 million in notional amount of interest rate swaps, would increase or decrease by $11.2 million.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management, including our Chairman and Senior Executive and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chairman and Senior Executive and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its internal control over financial reporting in order to improve its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of business, IAC and its subsidiaries are (or may become) parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as shareholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matter described below involves issues or claims that may be of particular interest to IAC’s stockholders, regardless of whether such matter may be material to IAC’s financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the SEC.
Shareholder Litigation Arising Out of the MTCH Separation
On June 24, 2020, a shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in Delaware state court against then
IAC/InterActiveCorp (now Match Group, Inc.), then IAC Holdings, Inc. (subsequently renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp and now known as IAC Inc.), IAC’s Chairman and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, former Match Group (as a nominal defendant only), and the ten members of former Match Group’s board of directors at the time of the separation of the Match Group business from then IAC/InterActiveCorp (the “MTCH Separation”), challenging, on behalf of a putative class of then Match Group public shareholders, the agreed-upon terms of the MTCH Separation.
See
David Newman v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al.
,
No. 2020-0505 (Delaware Chancery Court). The gravamen of the complaint was that the terms of the MTCH Separation were unfair to former Match Group public shareholders and unduly beneficial to IAC as a result of undue influence by IAC and Mr. Diller over the then Match Group directors who unanimously approved the transaction. The complaint asserted direct and derivative claims for: (i) breach of fiduciary duty against IAC and Mr. Diller as alleged former controlling shareholders of Match Group, (ii) breach of fiduciary duty against the Match Group directors who unanimously approved the MTCH Separation, (iii) breach of contract (i.e., a provision of former Match Group’s charter), (iv) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (v) tortious interference with contract against IAC. The complaint sought various declarations and damages in an unspecified amount.
On September 24, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On January 8, 2021, instead of responding to the motions to dismiss, the plaintiff, joined by another plaintiff, Boilermakers National Annuity Trust, filed an amended complaint. In addition, on January 7, 2021, another complaint challenging the MTCH Separation was filed against substantially the same defendants in the same court.
See Construction Industry & Laborers Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada Plan A v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al.
(Delaware Chancery Court). The two cases were consolidated under the caption
In re Match Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation
,
No. 2020-0505. On March 15, 2021, the court issued an order appointing Construction Industry and Laborers Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada Plan A (“Southern Nevada”) as lead plaintiff in the litigation and directing it to file a consolidated complaint by April 14, 2021, and on that date Southern Nevada filed the consolidated complaint.
On June 22, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On September 3, 2021, instead of responding to the motions, the plaintiffs filed motions to add City of Hallandale Beach Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Personnel Retirement Trust (“Hallandale”) as a co-lead plaintiff and to amend and supplement the consolidated complaint, which latter motion the defendants opposed. On October 27, 2021, the court issued an order granting the motions. On November 2, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended and supplemented consolidated complaint.
On December 10, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended and supplemented consolidated complaint, which the plaintiffs opposed. On September 1, 2022, the court, applying the business-judgment standard of review, issued an opinion and order granting the defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. On October 3, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court from the Chancery Court’s order of dismissal. On May 3, 2023, the Delaware Supreme Court heard oral argument on the plaintiffs’ appeal. On May 30, 2023, the court issued an order directing the parties to submit supplemental briefing on the correct legal standard governing judicial review of the MTCH Separation, namely whether review under the more deferential business-judgment rule is triggered when such a transaction has been approved by
either
a committee of independent directors
or
a majority vote of the minority stockholders. Supplemental briefing was completed on September 29, 2023. On December 13, 2023, the court heard further oral argument from the parties.
On April 4, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court issued its decision, holding: (i) that in order to be subject to review under the more deferential business-judgment rule, rather than “entire fairness” review, the MTCH Separation transaction must have been approved by
both
a committee of independent directors
and
a majority vote of the Match Group minority shareholders, (ii) that the Chancery Court correctly ruled that the plaintiffs had pleaded sufficient facts to call into question the independence of one of the three members of the special committee that had negotiated and approved the transaction, (iii) that the Chancery Court had incorrectly ruled that the plaintiffs had nevertheless failed to call into question the independence of the special committee as a whole, because all members of the committee must be independent in order for the committee as a whole to be independent, and (iv) that the Chancery Court had correctly dismissed the plaintiffs’ derivative claims for lack of standing, thereby leaving only their direct claims for adjudication and Hallandale as the sole lead plaintiff. The Delaware Supreme Court remanded the case to the Chancery Court for further proceedings under the “entire fairness” standard of review, and the case proceeded to discovery.
On October 2, 2024, the Chancery Court issued a decision and order dismissing the plaintiff’s claim against Mr. Diller on the principal grounds that he was not a controlling stockholder of Match Group.
On February 27, 2025, the parties participated in a mediation in an attempt to resolve the matter. On March 14, 2025, the parties accepted the mediator’s proposal to resolve the matter. Pursuant to the parties’ agreement in principle, the sum of $30 million will be paid to the plaintiff class in full settlement of all claims, including for attorneys' fees and expenses and the costs of settlement administration. Of that amount, approximately $29.8 million will be paid by the defendants’ insurers, and approximately $0.2 million will be paid by IAC. On April 1, 2025, the parties executed a term sheet memorializing the material terms of the settlement. The parties are currently in the process of preparing a definitive settlement agreement for submission to the Chancery Court for approval.
