The consolidated financial statements include the 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. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of marketable securities and other investments; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the useful

lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration; the liabilities for uncertain tax positions; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in advertising spending behavior or in customer buying behavior could adversely affect our operating results. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"). On October 26, 2015, the Company and Google entered into a services agreement that is effective as of April 1, 2016, following the expiration of the current services agreement, and expires on March 31, 2020. The Company may choose to terminate the agreement effective March 31, 2019. These services agreements require that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , revenue earned from Google is $332.0 million and $979.8 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , revenue earned from Google is $351.4 million and $1.1 billion , respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $112.2 million and $118.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common standard for all industries. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted beginning on the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Upon adoption, ASU No. 2014-09 may either be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not yet determined whether the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or the method and timing of adoption.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2—INCOME TAXES

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of 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 the liabilities for uncertain tax positions 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 our 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 in the quarter in which the change occurs.

(Unaudited)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $ 40.5 million and $ 34.7 million , respectively, which represents effective income tax rates of 38% and 19% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state taxes, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the realization of certain deferred tax assets, a reduction in tax reserves and related interest due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and the non-taxable gain on contingent consideration fair value adjustments in the current year period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company recorded an income tax benefit for continuing operations of $ 59.8 million and $ 8.5 million , respectively, despite pre-tax income of $ 90.4 million and $ 158.0 million , respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is due principally to a reduction in tax reserves and related interest due to the expiration of statutes of limitations for federal income taxes for 2001 through 2009 of $88.2 million .

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , is a less than $0.1 million expense and a $0.2 million benefit, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company has accrued $2.2 million and $2.8 million , respectively, for the payment of interest. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company has accrued $2.1 million and $2.9 million , respectively, for penalties.

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 Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2012. Various other jurisdictions are open to examination for various tax years beginning with 2009. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for uncertain tax positions and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are $24.8 million and $33.2 million , respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 are subsequently recognized, $22.8 million , net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax provision for continuing operations. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $7.7 million within twelve months of September 30, 2015 primarily due to expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements.

The unrealized gains and losses in the tables above are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The gross unrealized losses on the marketable debt securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates. The Company does not consider the gross unrealized losses to be other-than-temporary because the Company does not intend to sell the marketable debt securities that generated the gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 , and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be maturity.

The contractual maturities of debt securities classified as current available-for-sale at September 30, 2015 are as follows:

There were no gross realized losses from the maturities and sales of available-for-sale marketable securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . However, during the second quarter of 2015 , the Company recognized $0.3 million in losses that were deemed to be other-than-temporary related to various corporate debt securities that were expected to be sold by the Company, in part, to fund its cash needs related to Match Group, Inc.'s acquisition of PlentyOfFish for $575 million .

Gross realized gains from the maturities and sales of available-for-sale marketable securities and gross unrealized losses that were deemed to be other-than-temporary are included in "Other income (expense), net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted 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. See below for a discussion of fair value measurements made using Level 3 inputs.

The following tables present the Company's financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Auction rate security

The Company's auction rate security is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flow streams of the security over the life of the security. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing fair value. The cost basis of the auction rate security is $10.0 million , with gross unrealized losses of $5.0 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The unrealized losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2015 , the auction rate security is rated BBB- and matures in 2035. The Company does not consider the auction rate security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 , due to its credit rating and because the Company does not intend to sell this security, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security, before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

Contingent Consideration Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015 , there are nine contingent consideration arrangements related to business acquisitions. Eight of the contingent consideration arrangements have limits as to the maximum amount that can be paid; the maximum contingent payments related to these arrangements is $242.8 million and the fair value of these arrangements at September 30, 2015 is $31.0 million . The fair value of the one contingent consideration arrangement without a limit on the maximum amount is $0.5 million at September 30, 2015 . The contingent consideration arrangements are generally based upon earnings performance and/or operating metrics such as monthly active users. The Company determines the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements by using a probability-weighted analysis to determine the amount of the gross liability, and, if the arrangement is long-term in nature, applying a discount rate that captures the risks associated with the obligation. The number of scenarios in the probability-weighted analyses can vary; generally, more scenarios are prepared for longer duration and more complex arrangements. The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements at September 30, 2015 reflect discount rates ranging from 12 - 25 %.

The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements are sensitive to changes in the forecasts of earnings and/or the relevant operating metrics and changes in discount rates. The Company remeasures the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements each reporting period, and changes are recognized in “General and administrative expense” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The contingent consideration arrangement liability at September 30, 2015 includes a current portion of $0.7 million and non-current portion of $30.8 million , which are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

Cost method investments

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the carrying values of the Company's investments accounted for under the cost method totaled $113.7 million and $90.9 million , respectively, and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates each cost method investment for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $64.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges for certain cost method investments as a result of our assessment of the near-term prospects and financial condition of the investees. This charge is included in "Other income (expense), net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Equity method investments

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a $4.2 million other-than-temporary impairment charge on an equity method investment following the sale of a majority of the investee's assets. This charge is included in "Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Long-term marketable equity security

The cost basis of the Company's long-term marketable equity security at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is $8.7 million , with a gross unrealized gain of $0.9 million and a gross unrealized loss of $1.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The gross unrealized gain at September 30, 2015 and gross unrealized loss at December 31, 2014 are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes

The following table presents the carrying value and the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes:

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using market prices or indices for similar liabilities and takes into consideration other factors such as credit quality and maturity, which are Level 3 inputs.

Long-term debt consists of:



	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(In thousands)
4.875% Senior Notes due November 30, 2018 (the "2013 Senior Notes"); interest payable each May 30 and November 30, which commenced May 30, 2014	$	500,000	$	500,000

Total long-term debt	$	1,000,000	$	1,080,000

The 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes were issued on November 15, 2013 and December 21, 2012, respectively. On December 21, 2012, IAC entered into a $300 million revolving credit facility (the "IAC credit facility"). On October 7, 2015, the IAC credit facility agreement was amended and restated, and now expires October 7, 2020. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there are no outstanding borrowings under the IAC credit facility. The annual fee to maintain the IAC credit facility is 35 basis points. Also, on October 7, 2015, Match Group, Inc. entered into a $500 million revolving credit facility, which expires on October 7, 2020 (the "Match credit facility"). The annual fee to maintain the Match credit facility is 35 basis points.

On October 16, 2015, Match Group, Inc. commenced a private exchange offer to eligible holders to exchange any and all of the 2012 Senior Notes for up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Match Notes") to be issued by Match Group, Inc. ("Match Exchange Offer"). The Company expects to exchange $443.5 million of the 2012 Senior Notes for $443.5 million of the Match Notes pursuant to the Match Exchange Offer. Based on the results of the Match Exchange Offer, IAC does not expect to accept any 2013 Senior Notes for payment in the cash tender offer, which commenced on October 16, 2015.

The 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain IAC domestic subsidiaries, which are designated as guarantor subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries are the same for the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and the IAC credit facility; any borrowings under the IAC credit facility would also be secured by the stock of certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. See Note 11 for guarantor and non-guarantor financial information. The Match credit facility is guaranteed by the same entities that guarantee the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and the IAC credit facility, and also secured by the stock of certain Match Group, Inc. domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects that, promptly following the closing of the Match Exchange Offer, Match Group, Inc. will be designated an unrestricted subsidiary of IAC for purposes of the indentures governing the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and the IAC credit facility. Upon such designation, neither Match Group, Inc. nor any of its subsidiaries will guarantee any debt of the Company.

The indentures governing the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the event we are not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 . In addition, the terms of the IAC credit facility require that we maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0 and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at September 30, 2015 . The terms of the Match credit facility require Match Group, Inc. to maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 , and restrict Match Group, Inc.'s ability to incur additional indebtedness.

_________________________________________

^(a) 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 vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 1.0 million and 1.3 million potentially dilutive securities, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , 0.3 million shares related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

^(b) Performance-based stock units ("PSUs") are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable performance condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the PSUs is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 0.2 million PSUs that were probable of vesting were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the performance conditions had not been met. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , less than 0.1 million PSUs related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The overall concept that IAC employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker views the businesses, 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 if they meet certain aggregation criteria, which principally relate to the similarity of their economic characteristics or, in the case of the eCommerce reportable segment, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate operating segments.

The Company's primary financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which 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 and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. The Company believes this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, and we believe that by excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income generated from our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses.

The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) for the Company's reportable segments:

NOTE 10—CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us,

(Unaudited)

including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, 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 income 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 2 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 11—GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management Overview

IAC is a leading media and Internet company. The Company is organized into four segments: Match Group, which includes dating and education businesses with brands such as Match, OkCupid, Tinder and The Princeton Review; Search & Applications, which includes brands such as About.com, Ask.com, Dictionary.com and Investopedia; Media, which consists of businesses such as Vimeo, Electus, The Daily Beast and CollegeHumor; and eCommerce, which includes HomeAdvisor and ShoeBuy. IAC's brands and products are among the most recognized in the world reaching users in over 200 countries.

For a more detailed description of the Company's operating businesses, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to our services agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"). On October 26, 2015, the Company and Google entered into a services agreement that is effective as of April 1, 2016, following the expiration of the current services agreement, and expires on March 31, 2020. The Company may choose to terminate the agreement effective March 31, 2019. These services agreements require that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, revenue earned from Google is $332.0 million and $979.8 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenue earned from Google is $351.4 million and $1.1 billion , respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment.

Recent Developments

On November 9, 2015, Match Group, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed initial public offering ("IPO") of less than 20% of its common stock. The IPO is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2015.

On October 28, 2015, Match Group, Inc. completed its previously announced purchase of Plentyoffish Media Inc., or PlentyOfFish, for $575 million in cash.

On October 26, 2015, the Company amended and extended its services agreement with Google as described above.

On October 16, 2015:


•	Match Group, Inc. commenced a private exchange offer to eligible holders to exchange any and all of the 2012 Senior Notes for up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Match Notes") to be issued by Match Group, Inc. ("Match Exchange Offer").


•	The Company expects to exchange $443.5 million of the 2012 Senior Notes for $443.5 million of the Match Notes pursuant to the Match Exchange Offer. Based on the results of the Match Exchange Offer, IAC does not expect to accept any 2013 Senior Notes for payment in the cash tender offer, which commenced on October 16, 2015.

Factors Affecting Consolidated Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company delivered 7% and 5% revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, respectively; however, operating income declined 14% . The revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increases were driven by strong growth from The Match Group and eCommerce, partially offset by declines at Search & Applications. The operating income decline, despite higher Adjusted EBITDA, was due to an increase of $9.7 million in stock-based compensation and the positive impact in the prior year period of a $14.3 million contingent consideration fair value adjustment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company delivered 5% revenue growth; however, Adjusted EBITDA and operating income declined 15% and 31% , respectively. The revenue growth was driven primarily by the factors described above. The Adjusted EBITDA decline was driven by lower revenue at Search & Applications, $14.8 million of costs at The Match Group related to the ongoing consolidation and streamlining of technology systems and European operations at our

Dating businesses and increased investment at Media and eCommerce. The operating income decline was due to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and an increase of $28.4 million in stock-based compensation.

Search & Applications revenue decreased 4% reflecting a decline from Websites, partially offset by an increase from Applications. Websites revenue decreased 10% to $188.1 million due primarily to a decline in revenue at Ask.com and certain legacy businesses, partially offset by strong growth at About.com driven primarily by increased online marketing. Applications revenue increased 2% to $189.0 million due to 20% growth in B2C driven by higher queries from our desktop search applications and the contribution from our mobile applications (via our acquisition of Apalon on November 3, 2014), partially offset by lower revenue in B2B.

The Match Group revenue increased 19% , or 25% excluding the effects of foreign exchange, driven by an 11% increase in Dating revenue and 108% increase in Non-dating revenue. Dating North America revenue and Dating International revenue both increased 11% to $158.6 million and $76.6 million, respectively. The growth in Dating revenue was driven by increased paid subscribers. North America and International paid subscribers increased 7% and 34%, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange effects, total Dating revenue and Dating International revenue would have increased 17% and 29%, respectively. Non-dating revenue benefited from the full quarter contribution from The Princeton Review, which was acquired on August 1, 2014.

Media revenue increased 15% primarily due to strong growth at Vimeo.

eCommerce revenue increased 21% due to significant growth at HomeAdvisor driven by domestic revenue and service requests increasing 46% and 53%, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of earnings or loss from continuing operations adjusted for non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, asset impairment charges, excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, deferred income taxes, equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated affiliates, acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, gain on a real estate transaction and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations in 2015 consists of earnings from continuing operations of $144.8 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $64.6 million , partially offset by a $25.3 million decrease in cash from changes in working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily

consist of $71.9 million of stock-based compensation, $46.7 million of depreciation and $39.3 million of amortization of intangibles, partially offset by $49.1 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, $33.6 million of gain on a real estate transaction and $17.9 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments. The decrease from changes in working capital consist primarily of an increase in accounts receivable of $25.8 million , a decrease of $17.5 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities, an increase in other assets of $13.7 million , and a decrease in income taxes payable of $13.7 million , partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $45.7 million . The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due growth in Match's in-app purchases sold through their mobile products and revenue growth at HomeAdvisor. The decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities is due mainly to a decrease in accrued revenue share and accrued advertising expense at the Search & Applications segment, partially offset by an increase in accrued advertising at The Match Group segment. The decrease at Search & Applications in accrued revenue share is due mainly to lower B2B revenue. The decrease at Search & Applications in accrued advertising is due mainly to lower fees paid to search engines and timing of payments. The increase in accrued advertising at The Match Group segment is due mainly to increased online spending. The increase in other assets is primarily due to an increase in VAT refund receivables and an increase in inventory at Shoebuy, due mainly to seasonality. The decrease in income taxes payable is due to current year income tax payments in excess of current year income tax accruals. The increase in deferred revenue is due mainly to growth in prepaid revenue at The Match Group, Vimeo and HomeAdvisor, an increase at Electus due to the timing of various production deals, and increases related to acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2015 includes the purchase of marketable debt securities, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $99.8 million , the purchase of investments and acquisitions of $68.4 million and capital expenditures of $44.6 million , primarily related to the internal development of software to support our products and services, and computer hardware.

Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2015 includes $200.0 million for the repurchase of 3.0 million shares of common stock at an average price of $67.68 per share, $84.9 million related to the payment of cash dividends to IAC shareholders, $80.0 million for the early redemption of the Liberty Bonds, $40.2 million in proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes, $29.9 million for the purchase of noncontrolling interests and $5.7 million in contingent consideration payments, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $49.1 million .

2014

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations in 2014 consists of earnings from continuing operations of $166.6 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $246.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash from changes in working capital of $118.8 million . Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consist of $88.7 million of deferred income taxes, $64.3 million in impairments related to long-term investments, $44.2 million of depreciation, $43.5 million of stock-based compensation expense and $41.8 million of amortization of intangibles, partially offset by $41.3 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based awards and $13.8 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration. The deferred income tax provision relates to a net reduction in deferred tax assets related to the expiration of statutes of limitations for federal income taxes for the years 2001-2009. The decrease in cash from changes in working capital activities primarily consists of a decrease in income taxes payable of $114.6 million , a decrease of $24.2 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities, an increase in accounts receivable of $12.8 million and an increase in other assets of $8.7 million , partially offset an increase in deferred revenue of $41.7 million . The decrease in income taxes payable is primarily due to a net reduction in tax reserves related to the expiration of statutes of limitations for federal income taxes for the years 2001 through 2009. The decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities is due to a decrease in accrued revenue share due to lower B2B revenue in the Search & Applications segment and a seasonal decrease in payables to suppliers at Shoebuy. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth at HomeAdvisor. The increase in other assets is primarily due to an increase in production costs at certain of our media businesses that are capitalized as the television program, video or film is being produced and a receivable related to amounts collected on our behalf by a third party, partially offset by the receipt of insurance claims related to Hurricane Sandy. The increase in deferred revenue is due to growth in subscription revenue at The Match Group and Vimeo, an increase at Electus due to the timing of cash received related to various production deals and increases related to acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2014 includes acquisitions and investments of $261.9 million, which includes the ValueClick O&O website businesses, The Princeton Review and SlimWare, the net proceeds of purchases, sales and maturities of marketable debt securities of $109.9 million , and capital expenditures of $39.0 million , primarily related to the internal development of software to support our products and services.

Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2014 includes $68.5 million related to the payment of cash dividends to IAC shareholders, $30.3 million for the purchase of noncontrolling interests in Tinder and Meetic, $7.7 million in contingent consideration payments related to the 2013 Twoo acquisition and $4.8 million in proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $41.3 million and the return of $12.4 million of funds returned from escrow related to the Meetic tender offer.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as well as cash flows generated from operations. IAC has a $300 million revolving credit facility that was amended and restated on October 7, 2015, and now expires on October 7, 2020 (the "IAC credit facility"). The obligations under the IAC credit facility are secured by the stock of certain IAC domestic and foreign subsidiaries and unconditionally guaranteed by certain IAC domestic subsidiaries. At September 30, 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings under the IAC credit facility. On October 7, 2015, Match Group, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the "Match Credit Agreement"), which provides for a five-year $500 million revolving credit facility that includes a $40 million sub-limit for letters of credit (the "Match credit facility"). The obligations under the Match credit facility are secured by the stock of certain Match Group, Inc. domestic and foreign subsidiaries and guaranteed by the same entities that guarantee the IAC credit facility. The Match credit facility expires on October 7, 2020. Match Group, Inc. currently expects to enter into an $800 million seven-year term loan facility under the Match Credit Agreement. The Company expects that, promptly following the closing of the Match Exchange Offer, defined below, Match Group, Inc. will be designated an unrestricted subsidiary of IAC for purposes of the indentures governing the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and the IAC credit facility. Upon such designation, neither Match Group, Inc. nor any of its subsidiaries will guarantee any debt of the Company.

The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company expects that 2015 capital expenditures will be higher than 2014 by approximately 30%, driven by our ongoing consolidation and streamlining of technology systems at The Match Group and HomeAdvisor's online scheduling product, called Instant Booking. At September 30, 2015, IAC had 5.6 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization. IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook. On October 26, 2015, IAC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share of common and Class B common stock outstanding payable on December 1, 2015 to stockholders of record on November 15, 2015. Future declarations of dividends are subject to the determination of IAC's Board of Directors.

The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with its expected positive cash flows generated from operations and available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, quarterly cash dividends, and investing and other commitments for the foreseeable future. Our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services. On October 28, 2015, Match Group, Inc. completed its acquisition of PlentyOfFish for $575 million, which was funded by cash on hand. The Company may make additional acquisitions and investments and, as a result, the Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available at all or on terms favorable to us. The indentures governing the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the event we are not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, the terms of the Company's revolving credit facility require that we maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0 and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The terms of the Match Group, Inc. $500 million revolving credit facility require Match Group, Inc. to maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 5.00 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00, and restrict Match Group, Inc.'s ability to incur additional indebtedness.

IAC'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. 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. IAC 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 IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

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 and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. 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. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, and we believe that by excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income generated from our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method; however, performance-based RSUs are included only to the extent the performance criteria have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). Upon the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs, the awards are settled, at the Company's discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax-withholding amount from its current funds.

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives.

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 content, technology, customer lists, advertiser and supplier 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. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangibles 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 contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. 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 ongoing costs of doing business.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA

For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

At September 30, 2015, there have been no material changes to the Company's instruments or positions that are sensitive to interest rate risk and equity price risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, international revenue accounted for 26% of consolidated revenue. The Company's primary exposure to foreign currency exchange risk relates to investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro. As foreign currency exchange rates change, translation of the statements of operations of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. The average Euro versus the U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 16% lower in the third quarter of 2015 than 2014. The decrease had a significant impact to the revenue of The Match Group. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, The Match Group revenue, Dating revenue and Dating International revenue would have increased approximately 25%, 17% and 29%, respectively, as compared to the reported increases of 19%, 11% and 11%, respectively, had the foreign currency exchange rates been the same as the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, The Match Group revenue, Dating revenue and Dating International revenue would have increased approximately 23%, 13% and 18%, respectively, as compared to the reported increases of 17%, 7% and less than 1%, respectively, had the foreign currency exchange rates been the same as the first nine months of 2014.

Historically, the Company has not hedged any foreign currency exposures. Our continued international expansion increases our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and as a result such fluctuations could have a significant impact on our future results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and 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.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), IAC management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated 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, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and Forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
