Exhibit 99.1
IAC REPORTS Q4 RESULTS
NEW YORK February 6, 2007IAC (Nasdaq: IACI) released fourth quarter 2006 results today, reporting $1.8 billion in revenue, an 8% rate of growth over the prior year, and $268 million in Operating Income Before Amortization, reflecting slight growth. Adjusted EPS was $0.67, compared to $0.50 in the year ago period.
For the full year, IAC reported $6.3 billion in revenue and double digit Operating Income Before Amortization growth. Free cash flow generated during the twelve months of 2006 was $542 million, with $814 million in net cash provided by operating activities. Operating (loss) income for the fourth quarter and the full year 2006 was $(4) million and $253 million, respectively, reflecting an intangible asset and goodwill impairment charge of $214 million in the fourth quarter related to the Discounts segment. GAAP Diluted EPS for the quarter and full year was $0.05 and $0.60, respectively, compared to $0.33 and $2.46 in the prior year periods. Both Adjusted EPS and GAAP Diluted EPS reflect the benefit of lower tax rates as more fully described on page 7.
IAC repurchased 10 million shares of common stock at an average price of $37.87 between October 28, 2006 and February 2, 2007. During 2006, IAC repurchased 36.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.0 billion in aggregate, reducing absolute shares outstanding at January 1, 2006 by 11%. Currently IAC has 58.8 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase authorization.
Commenting on the results, IAC Chairman and CEO Barry Diller said, As we mature, as a conglomerate of interrelated businesses, some start up, some making their way and some already established with leading positions, we will more and more accentuate the two key areas we believe most keenly demonstrate our value - free cash flow generation and earnings per share (adjusted). Our 2006 figures demonstrate our ability to drive those metrics that matter most to value creation. While everything metric counts, you will find these leading indicators will become first among equals in our future reporting and commentary.

Revenue in the quarter reflects increased year-over-year contributions from every sector within IAC. Retailing U.S. revenue increased modestly during the quarter, including slight revenue growth at HSN. The Services sector continued to benefit from strength in Ticketing, while revenue at Lending was flat during a declining mortgage market. In addition, continued growth in queries and revenue per query at Ask.com and across most other search related properties contributed to strong revenue performance in the Media & Advertising sector. Operating Income Before Amortization grew slightly on higher profits at Ticketing, Personals and Vacations, largely offset by lower profits at Retailing.

Retailing revenue growth reflects the results of Shoebuy, acquired in February 2006, and slight growth at HSN and catalogs. Retailing revenue continued to benefit from strong online growth in the fourth quarter, particularly from catalogs.
Retailing U.S.
Revenue benefited from a mid-single digit increase in units shipped, slightly offset by a lower average price point and a higher average return rate. The average price point decline was primarily due to a product mix shift at HSN from electronics coupled with lower price points in the health and apparel product categories. The higher return rate was due primarily to increased sales of jewelry and accessories at HSN, categories which typically carry a higher return rate. Catalog revenue grew primarily due to a higher average price point and lower return rates.
U.S. Operating Income Before Amortization declined due to higher inventory reserves versus the prior-year period, increased costs associated with management transition and higher on-air distribution costs. Operating income benefited from a decrease in the amortization of intangibles of $9.7 million.
Retailing International
International revenue increased by 2%, but declined 6% excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Results were driven primarily by decreased revenue across most product categories and higher return rates. Profits continued to be adversely impacted by higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower on-air distribution costs.

Services revenue benefited from continued worldwide strength at Ticketing, while revenue at Lending was flat. Teleservices results are now included in discontinued operations for all periods presented following the sale of PRC during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Ticketing
Record worldwide ticket volumes drove a 4% increase in tickets sold, with a 7% higher average overall revenue per ticket. Domestic revenue increased 8% resulting primarily from higher average revenue per ticket on stronger concert sales. International revenue grew 15%, or 8% excluding the effects of foreign exchange, due primarily to increased revenue in the United Kingdom and Canada. International acquisitions in Germany (November 2005) and Spain (July 2006) contributed approximately $2 million to Ticketings overall revenue in the quarter. Profits grew in-line with revenues as higher royalty rates were offset by non-recurring items and increased operating efficiencies.
Lending
Lending revenue was flat with higher revenue per loan sold and higher transmit revenue resulting from higher transmit fees and growth in transmitted QFs, offset by fewer loans closed at the exchange and fewer loans sold into the secondary market. Close rates were lower during the quarter across all product categories. Revenue from purchase loans grew in the double digits, primarily due to strong growth at LendingTree Loans, while revenue from refinance mortgages grew in the low single digits and revenue from home equity loans decreased at a double digit rate. Profits grew, reflecting flat marketing expenses and lower overall operating expenses.

4
Real Estate
Revenue declined slightly as fewer leads led to fewer closings at the broker and builder networks, partially offset by revenue from closings in the company owned brokerage business, which was not in the prior year results. Losses increased due primarily to increased costs associated with the geographical expansion of the brokerage business, now operating in eight markets, and higher costs related to the development and re-launch of the RealEstate.com website.
Home Services
Home Services reflects the results of ServiceMagic, which benefited from a 44% increase in customer service requests and a 22% increase in the number of service providers in the network. Average revenue per service request increased slightly versus the year ago period on lower cost per service request, but revenue grew faster than profits due to a planned sales force expansion.

Media & Advertising results include IAC Search & Media, Citysearch and Evite. IAC Search & Media consists of proprietary properties such as Ask.com, Ask.com UK and Fun Web Products, and network properties which include syndicated advertising, search results, and toolbars. Both proprietary and network revenue grew during the quarter.
Media & Advertising revenue growth was driven by an increase in queries and higher revenue per query across most properties. Within IAC Search & Media, network revenue growth outpaced that of proprietary revenue, primarily due to an increase in syndicated sponsored listings. Proprietary revenue grew on the strength of Ask.com in the U.S. and Fun Web Products, offset by weakness at portal properties and Ask.com UK. Additionally, Citysearch delivered yet another strong quarter of revenue growth.
Media & Advertising Operating Income Before Amortization declined slightly due to a large proportion of the strong revenue growth coming from high revenue-sharing relationships, and increased marketing, primarily at Ask.com and Fun Web Products.
Media & Advertising operating income for the current period also reflects a decrease in the amortization of intangibles of $6.4 million.

Membership & Subscriptions revenue benefited from worldwide growth in subscribers and an increase in the average revenue per paid subscriber at Personals, as well as increased membership and confirmations at Vacations.
Vacations
Vacations revenue and profit growth was driven by strong renewals, a 4% increase in members and 6% growth in confirmations. Confirmations were driven by additional week long resort accommodations sold to members in connection with online promotions. Margin growth was driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and, to a lesser extent, increased operating efficiencies due to 15% growth in confirmations online.
Personals
Personals revenue growth was driven by a 7% increase in worldwide paid subscribers and an increase in the average revenue per paid subscriber due in part to a greater percentage of subscribers at higher package prices versus the prior year. International paid subscribers grew by 13% due to continued expansion in several markets, most notably in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Operating Income Before Amortization grew faster than revenue due to a lower cost of acquisition as a percentage of revenue in North America, partially offset by increased international marketing spend.
Discounts
Discounts revenue was impacted by disappointing sales through schools and community groups, including declines in the sale of coupon books, gift wrap and related products, partially offset by sales growth from other products in the fundraising channel. Operating Income Before Amortization benefited from lower personnel expenses and operational cost savings. Operating loss includes a $214 million impairment charge related to intangible assets and goodwill reflecting significant continued deterioration in the core fundraising channels in which the company operates.

OTHER ITEMS
Q4 operating income and net income were positively impacted by lower non-cash compensation expense primarily due to higher forfeitures related to the awards assumed in the IAC Search & Media acquisition and a decrease in expense related to equity award modifications. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in non-cash compensation expense related to equity grants issued during and subsequent to Q4 2005. Q4 operating income and net income were adversely impacted by intangible asset and goodwill impairment charges of $25 million and $189 million, respectively, related to the Discounts segment described above. The intangible asset impairment charge is included in amortization of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Q4 other (expense) income comparisons were negatively impacted by foreign exchange losses of $2.2 million in Q4 2006 compared with foreign exchange gains of $2.0 million in Q4 2005 as well as a $6.4 million loss in Q4 2006 and a $4.8 million loss in Q4 2005 reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives that were created in the Expedia spin-off. The derivatives relate to IACs obligation to deliver both IAC and Expedia shares upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants.
Q4 net income was also impacted by the sale of PRC which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $66.3 million, and an after-tax gain of $9.6 million.
In Q4 2006, IAC recorded a tax benefit on continuing operations of $2.9 million. This tax benefit is due principally to the net effect of an adjustment of $19.6 million related to the release of deferred tax liabilities associated with a foreign equity investment and the increase in the valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset associated with state net operating losses. In addition, there was a benefit associated with the Companys decision to permanently reinvest the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. These favorable items were partially offset by the impairment of goodwill (which is only partially deductible for income tax purposes) and interest on tax reserves. In Q4 2006, the effective tax rate for adjusted net income was 24%, which is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the items referred to in the second sentence of this paragraph and the benefit associated with the Companys decision to permanently reinvest the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by interest on tax reserves. The effective tax rates for continuing operations and adjusted net income were 39% and 37% in Q4 2005, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than the federal statutory rate due principally to state taxes.In addition, the tax rate for continuing operations was unfavorably impacted by non-deductible non-cash compensation expense.

|
(a) In accordance with the Companys adoption of SFAS 123R, excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, $18 million in 2006, are included in net cash used in financing activities and therefore not included in Free Cash Flow. Accordingly, amounts presented for operating cash flows and free cash flows for 2006 will be adversely affected in comparison to prior results; however, there is no change in economic substance resulting from this change in reporting classification. Excess tax benefits from stock-based awards in 2005 of $152.7 million were included in net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, consolidated Free Cash Flow decreased by $168 million from the prior year period due to a smaller increase in working capital, including a smaller contribution from Ticketing client cash, as well as higher cash taxes paid. Ticketing client cash contributed $2.6 million in the current period, versus $70.9 million in the prior year period. Free Cash Flow includes the change in warehouse loans payable because the change in loans held for sale is already included in cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow excludes tax payments related to the sale of the Companys interests in VUE because the proceeds on the sale were not included in cash provided by operating activities.

IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, all of which are supplemental measures to 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 contained in this release and which we discuss below.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (4) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IACs segments, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IACs statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, non-cash marketing, and acquisition-related accounting.
Adjusted Net Income generally captures all items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income available to common shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and minority interest, (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, if applicable, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, if applicable, (4) equity income or loss from IACs 5.44% interest in VUE and gain on the sale of IACs interest in VUE, (5) non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off as a result of both IAC and Expedia shares being issuable upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants, (6) one-time items, if applicable and (7) discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IACs consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted fully diluted shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes. We include dilution from options and warrants per the treasury stock method and include all restricted shares and restricted stock units (RSUs) in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis. In addition, convertible instruments are assumed to be converted in determining shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, if the effect is dilutive. Shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, IACs consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Operating Income Before Amortization, and in addition Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not account for IACs former passive ownership in VUE. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statement of operations.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, including preferred dividends received from VUE, less capital expenditures and preferred dividends paid by IAC. For purposes of Free Cash Flow, we also include changes in warehouse loans payable in Lending due to the close connection that exists with changes in loans held by sale which are included in cash provided by operations. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes the tax payments related to the sale of IACs interests in VUE due to the exclusion of the proceeds on the sale from cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. 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.

Pro Forma Results
We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this release, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.
Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income are presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this release, there are no adjustments for any one-time items.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures
Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. We view the true cost of our restricted stock units as the dilution to our share base, and as such all units are included in our shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards are settled, at the Companys discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.
Amortization of non-cash marketing consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which VUE was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE (collectively referred to as NBC Universal Advertising). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost.
The NBC Universal Advertising is excluded from Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income because it is non-cash and generally is incremental to the advertising the Company otherwise secures as a result of its ordinary cost/benefit marketing planning process. Accordingly, the Companys aggregate level of advertising, and the increased concentration of that advertising on NBC Universal network and cable channels, does not reflect what our advertising effort would otherwise be without these credits, which will expire on September 30, 2008 if not exhausted before then. As a result, management believes that treating the NBC Universal Advertising as an expense does not appropriately reflect its true cost/benefit relationship, nor does it best reflect the Companys long-term level of advertising expenditures. Nonetheless, while the benefits directly attributable to television advertising are always difficult to determine, and especially so with respect to the NBC Universal Advertising due to its incrementality and heavy concentration, it is likely that the Company does derive benefits from it, though management believes such benefits are generally less than those received through its regular advertising for the reasons stated above. Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income therefore have the limitation of including those benefits while excluding the associated expense.
Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as supplier contracts and customer relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.
Equity income or loss from IACs 5.44% common interest in VUE is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC had no operating control over VUE, had no way to forecast this business, and did not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IACs businesses. The gain from the sale in June 2005 of IACs interests in VUE and related effects are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for similar reasons.
Non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the obligations underlying these derivatives, which relate to the Ask Convertible Notes and certain IAC warrants, are expected to ultimately be settled in shares of IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, and not in cash.
Free Cash Flow
We look at Free Cash Flow as a measure of the strength and performance of our businesses, not for valuation purposes. In our view, applying multiples to Free Cash Flow is inappropriate because it is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events. We manage our business for cash and we think it is of utmost importance to maximize cash but our primary valuation metrics are Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted EPS. In addition, because Free Cash Flow is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events, we believe it is not appropriate to annualize quarterly Free Cash Flow results.
