Full year 2025 guidance reiterated for all businesses

NEW YORK— May 5, 2025—IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) released its first quarter results today and separately posted an investor deck on the Investor Relations section of its website at ir.iac.com.
“It was a strong quarter and we are back to what we do best: allocating capital and seizing opportunities for value creation,” said Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC. “We completed the spin-off of Angi, repurchased 5% of the company, and are optimistic about the possibilities for deploying capital, both within our businesses and finding fertile new ground. DDM, our largest business and the largest publisher in the country, continues to grow digital revenue and profit, even amidst the uncertain landscape. DDM’s sheer scale, loyal audiences, beloved brands like PEOPLE and advertising performance continue to differentiate it from the industry and underscore its growth potential.”

Q1 2025 SUMMARY
IAC completed the spin-off of IAC’s full ownership stake in Angi Inc. on March 31, 2025. Angi Inc. results are reflected as discontinued operations in Q1 2025 and all historical periods.

Between February 12, 2025 and May 2, 2025, the Company repurchased 4.5 million common shares for an aggregate of $200 million.
On March 16, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase authorization of 10 million shares. As of May 2, 2025, IAC had 9.2 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.

Dotdash Meredith (“DDM”) Digital revenue increased 7% to $224 million, while Print revenue decreased 7% to $174 million.
Total operating income of $43 million increased $64 million driven primarily by a 166% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $80 million driven by:
A $36 million non-cash gain related to the termination of a lease that would otherwise have expired in 2032, which required a total payment of $43 million; the termination reduces future fixed lease payments by $102 million.
Digital Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% to $42 million.
Print Adjusted EBITDA increased $11 million.

MyRecipes, DDM’s new multi-brand recipe locker that helps consumers easily tag and save food content across leading brands like Food & Wine and allrecipes, went live in Q4 2024 and continues to ramp.

Care.com revenue was $89 million, operating income was $12 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $14 million.

Emerging & Other revenue decreased 46% year-over-year to $18 million with both operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss improving $16 million to $5 million.
Excluding Mosaic Group revenue of $18 million in Q1 2024 (the assets of which were sold on February 15, 2024), revenue would have increased 14% year-over year in Q1 2025 driven by 72% growth from The Daily Beast.
Q1 2024 operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss included $16 million in severance and transaction-related costs at Mosaic Group related to the sale of the assets of the business.

Revenue of $393.1 million increased 1% year-over-year reflecting:

7% Digital revenue growth driven by:
Advertising revenue increased 1%, reflecting:
Higher premium advertising revenue due primarily to the Technology, Retail and Beauty & Style categories
Lower programmatic advertising revenue due to lower impression volumes driven by 3% declines in Core Sessions and the higher premium advertising penetration, partially offset by higher rates

Performance marketing revenue increased 11% year-over-year driven by 26% affiliate commerce growth, partially offset by revenue declines from services, concentrated primarily in the Finance category

Licensing and other revenue increased 30% due primarily to the addition of OpenAI (partnership began in May 2024) and improved performance from content syndication partners and Apple News+

7% Print revenue declines driven by the ongoing portfolio optimization and the continued migration of audience and advertising spend from print to digital

Operating income of $43.2 million increased $64.0 million reflecting:

Digital operating income of $18.7 million compared to a loss of $0.2 million in Q1 2024 reflecting:
$11.4 million lower amortization of intangibles due to certain definite lived intangible assets that fully amortized in the prior year
Adjusted EBITDA growth of 15% to $42.4 million due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales and higher online marketing spend

Print operating income of $7.9 million compared to a loss of $5.1 million in Q1 2024 reflecting:
Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.5 million to $13.5 million due to lower operating expenses resulting from continued cost rationalization, partially offset by revenue declines

$3.5 million higher depreciation due primarily to accelerated expense related to the lease termination










Page 6 of 20
Care.com
Revenue decreased 4% to $88.9 million reflecting:
9% decrease in Consumer revenue driven by lower subscriptions on the Care.com platform

3% increase in Enterprise revenue primarily driven by an increase in back-up care utilization


Operating income of $11.7 million was flat compared to Q1 2024 reflecting:

Adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $14.5 million due primarily to the lower revenue and higher compensation costs, partially offset by lower selling and marketing expense

$1.1 million lower depreciation

Search
Revenue decreased 35% to $70.3 million reflecting:

36% decrease at Ask Media Group due to a reduction in traffic acquisition costs driving fewer visitors to ad-supported search and content websites

32% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business)

Operating income of $3.0 million reflecting Adjusted EBITDA decreasing 31% to $3.0 million due primarily to lower revenue, partially offset by lower traffic acquisition costs and lower compensation costs

72% growth from The Daily Beast
7% decrease at Vivian Health

Mosaic Group losses of $14.0 million in Q1 2024 including $16.5 million in severance and transaction-related costs related to the sale of the assets of the business
Profits at The Daily Beast and Vivian Health as compared to losses in Q1 2024
Higher legal fees








Page 7 of 20

Corporate
Operating loss decreased $20.3 million to $17.2 million reflecting:

The net reversal of $34.9 million in stock-based compensation expense related primarily to the forfeiture of the former IAC CEO’s restricted stock award on January 13, 2025, pursuant to his employment transition agreement (the “ETA”)

$17.5 million higher Adjusted EBITDA losses driven primarily by $14.5 million in separation benefits pursuant to the ETA, $4.8 million of transaction-related costs related to the spin-off of Angi Inc. and $1.8 million in severance related to other headcount reductions

Investment in MGM
IAC holds 64.7 million shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”), which were purchased for $1.3 billion, and were worth $2.1 billion as of May 2, 2025. Net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect changes in MGM’s share price as unrealized gains and losses and, as a result, can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $79.2 million in Q1 2025 for an effective tax rate of 26%, which was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to state taxes and the nontaxable stock-based compensation expense reversal (discussed above). In Q1 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $46.5 million for an effective tax rate of 48%, which was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to the nondeductible portion of the goodwill in the sale of assets of Mosaic Group and nondeductible expenses, partially offset by the realization of a capital loss and research credits.

Free Cash Flow
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $0.1 million, a $40.2 million decrease year-over-year. Free Cash Flow decreased $41.9 million to negative $4.6 million due primarily to unfavorable working capital (including a $21.6 million payment at DDM related to the termination of a lease) and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA.

The dilutive securities presentation is calculated using the methods and assumptions described below, which are different from those used for GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury stock method.

The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise, and in the case of options, assuming no proceeds are received by the Company. Any required withholding taxes are paid in cash by the Company on behalf of the employees. In addition, the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the vesting or exercise of these awards is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares. Assuming all awards were exercised or vested on May 2, 2025, withholding taxes payable by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $64.0 million (of which approximately 60% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before March 31, 2026), assuming a stock price of $35.31 and a 50% withholding rate. The table above assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used at March 31, 2025. The number of shares ultimately needed to settle these awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant subsidiary. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.

FULL YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK

Please find below our full year 2025 outlook. As stewards of shareholder capital, we continually evaluate investment opportunities and are prepared to diverge from our stated outlook when we identify compelling prospects that we believe will create long-term value, even if they may impact short-term results. We also acknowledge that, at times, our expectations about the future may not materialize as anticipated. With that caution in mind, here’s our current outlook:
($ in millions)FY 2025 Outlook

(a) Excludes approximately $36 million non-cash gain from a lease termination in Q1 2025.
(b) FY 2025 stock-based compensation expense reflects the net reduction in Q1 2025 of approximately $35 million of stock-based compensation expense due to the provisions of the January 13, 2025 ETA between IAC and its former CEO.

Additional Q2/FY 2025 Observations
DDM – In Q2 we expect Digital revenue growth of 7%-9% and total Adjusted EBITDA between $67-$73 million. For the full year, we expect Digital revenue growth between 7%-10% given the current volatility in the macro economic environment.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is our primary segment measure of profitability; it and Free Cash Flow are 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. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which are included in this release. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted 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.

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

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA

Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans 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.

Please see page 11 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of May 2, 2025, and a description of the calculation methodology.

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.

You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
