(a) Q2 2018 operating income of $23.3 million at ANGI Homeservices includes $16.7 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2.6 million of costs and deferred revenue write-offs in connection with the Combination; excluding these transaction-related items, operating income was $42.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $69.6 million.

 

Match Group

 

·                  Revenue growth was due primarily to increased subscribers and ARPU at Tinder.

 

·                  Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue due to operating leverage including the impact of the ongoing shift to brands with lower marketing as a percentage of revenue, particularly Tinder, partially offset by higher cost of revenue due to in-app purchase fees as revenue is increasingly sourced through mobile app stores.

 

Please refer to the Match Group Q2 2018 earnings release and the related investor presentation referenced therein for further detail.

 



 

Page 3 of 18

 

ANGI Homeservices

 

·                  Revenue increased 63% to $294.8 million driven by a full quarter contribution from Angie’s List following the completion of the combination of HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List to create ANGI Homeservices on September 29, 2017, as well as:

 

·                  31% Marketplace growth driven by a 30% increase in service requests to 6.8 million, a 23% increase in paying service professionals to 202,000 and a 7% increase in revenue per paying service professional to a record high of $1,016

 

·                  14% growth in Europe

 

·                  Operating income was $23.3 million in Q2 2018 compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in Q2 2017 reflecting:

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA growth of 390% to $67.0 million reflecting:

 

·                  Lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue

 

·                  $1.8 million deferred revenue write-offs and $0.8 million of severance, retention and integration-related costs in connection with the Angie’s List transaction

 

·                  An increase in stock-based compensation expense of $10.2 million and amortization of intangibles of $13.0 million, both driven primarily by the Angie’s List transaction

 

Please refer to the ANGI Homeservices Q2 2018 earnings release for further detail.

 

Video

 

·                  Revenue increased 14% to $62.8 million driven by strong growth at Vimeo and the contribution from Lady Bird at IAC Films, partially offset by declines at Electus and the impact of moving Daily Burn from Video to Applications effective April 1, 2018.

 

·                  Operating loss increased to $15.0 million due to 63% higher Adjusted EBITDA losses and an increase of $1.8 million in amortization of intangibles.  The higher Adjusted EBITDA losses were driven by higher losses from Electus and Vimeo (driven by investments in product development and marketing), partially offset by profits at IAC Films.

 



 

Page 4 of 18

 

Applications

 

·                  Revenue decreased 1% to $143.1 million due to a 25% decrease in Partnerships, partially offset by a 5% increase in Consumer.  Partnerships declines continued as expected and Consumer growth was driven by mobile growth, partially offset by lower revenue per query at the B2C desktop applications business.

 

·                  Operating income of $33.1 million decreased 15% driven primarily by a 13% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA to $35.4 million as the prior year benefitted from a $2.9 million favorable legal settlement.

 

Publishing

 

·                  Revenue increased 76% to $137.4 million due to:

 

·                  40% higher Premium Brands revenue driven by 50% growth at Dotdash, 47% growth at Investopedia and 65% growth at The Daily Beast

 

·                  96% higher Ask & Other revenue

 

·                  Operating income improved $15.7 million to $12.8 million (from a loss of $2.9 million in Q2 2017) driven primarily by Adjusted EBITDA growth ($13.8 million compared to $2.7 million Q2 2017).

 

Corporate

 

Operating loss increased $4.2 million due primarily to a $6.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, due primarily to a mark-to-market adjustment, partially offset by $2.0 million lower depreciation.

 

Other income, net

 

Other income, net in Q2 2018 includes $126.4 million of net unrealized gains related to certain equity investments that were adjusted to fair value in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which was adopted on January 1, 2018, and $27.3 million related to the gain on sales of certain investments.  Other income, net in Q2 2017 includes $21.2 million related to the gain on sales of certain investments.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $31.4 million for an effective income tax rate of 10%, which is lower than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Between May 10, 2018 and August 6, 2018:

IAC currently has 8.0 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase authorization.  IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period 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.

 

As of June 30, 2018:

 

·                  IAC had 83.7 million common and Class B common shares outstanding.

 

·                  On a consolidated basis, the Company had $1.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, of which IAC held $1.2 billion, Match Group held $309.8 million and ANGI Homeservices held $255.6 million.

 

·                  On a consolidated basis, the Company had $2.1 billion in long-term debt, of which IAC owed $552.0 million, Match Group owed $1.3 billion and ANGI Homeservices owed $268.1 million.

 

·                  IAC has a $300 million revolving credit facility and Match Group has a $500 million revolving credit facility.  Both credit facilities were undrawn as of June 30, 2018 and currently remain undrawn.

 

For Match Group as of June 30, 2018, IAC’s economic interest was 81.2% and IAC’s voting interest was 97.6%.  IAC held 225.1 million shares.

 

For ANGI Homeservices as of June 30, 2018, IAC’s economic interest was 86.4% and IAC’s voting interest was 98.5%.  IAC held 415.9 million shares.  However, in Q4 2018, IAC expects to be issued approximately 5 million shares of Class B common stock of ANGI Homeservices pursuant to the post-closing adjustment provision of the Angie’s List transaction agreement, which would return IAC’s economic interest in ANGI Homeservices to approximately 87% and IAC’s voting interest in ANGI Homeservices to 98.5%.

The dilutive securities calculation in the above table is different from GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury method, and is based on the following assumptions:

 

RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity awards (excluding all ANGI Homeservices and Match Group and their subsidiary denominated awards) — These awards are settled on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise, in each case assuming a withholding tax rate of 50%.  Withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon vesting or exercise would have been $51.4 million, assuming a stock price of $155.07 and a 50% withholding rate.  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.

 

Options — The cash generated from the exercise of all vested and unvested options, consisting of (a) the option exercise price and (b) the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the exercise of IAC options, is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares.

 

Exchangeable Senior Notes — No dilution is reflected in the table above for the 0.875% Exchangeable Senior Notes issued on October 2, 2017, which are exchangeable into IAC common shares at an initial conversion price of approximately $152.18 per share, because any dilution is offset by the assumed exercise of the bond hedge, which was purchased upon issuance of the Exchangeable Senior Notes.

 

ANGI Homeservices and Match Group Equity Awards and the Treatment of the Related Dilutive Effect

 

Certain ANGI Homeservices and Match Group equity awards can be settled either in IAC common shares or the common shares of these subsidiaries at IAC’s election.  For purposes of the dilution calculation above, these awards are assumed to be settled in shares of ANGI Homeservices and Match Group common stock; therefore, no dilution from these awards is included.

IAC PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

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

 

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements.  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.  The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature.  Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC’s statement of operations of certain expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.  We believe Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors.  Adjusted EBITDA margin has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our consolidated statement of operations of certain expenses.

 

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures.  We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to 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 Our Non-GAAP Measures

 

Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions (including the Combination), of stock options, RSUs, performance-based RSUs and market-based awards.  These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic cost of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method.  Performance-based RSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period).  To the extent that stock-based awards are settled on a net basis, the Company remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.

 

Please see page 9 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of August 6, 2018 and a description of the calculation methodology.

 

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, 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 (including the Combination).  At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as service professional relationships, technology, customer lists and user base, content, trade names and memberships, 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 impairment charges 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 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 the ongoing cost of doing business.
