·                  Consolidated revenue declined 5% year-over-year, as solid growth at The Match Group and HomeAdvisor and strong growth at Vimeo were more than offset by declines at Search & Applications, the closure and sale of Newsweek print and digital and the restructuring of CityGrid Media.

 

·                  The Match Group revenue increased 8% as Dating paid subscribers grew 10% to 3.5 million globally.

 

·                  In the Media segment, Vimeo grew revenue over 45% versus the prior year and reached nearly 500,000 paid subscribers.

 

·                  Search & Applications revenue declined 7% driven by lower Applications revenue.  Websites revenue increased 1% and page views grew 8% to 8.5 billion.

 

·                  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA declined 10% versus the prior year notwithstanding modest growth at The Match Group, primarily due to the revenue decline at Search & Applications and increased investment at Media.

 

·                  Net loss and Adjusted Net Income in the current year reflect the $66.6 million after-tax effect of the write-downs of certain investments.  These write-downs negatively impacted GAAP Diluted EPS and Adjusted EPS by $0.80 and $0.75, respectively.

 

·                  IAC increased its quarterly cash dividend over 40% to $0.34 per share; the dividend is payable on September 1, 2014 to IAC stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2014.

Search & Applications

 

Websites revenue increased 1% due to growth at About.com, the acquisition of the “Owned & Operated” website businesses of ValueClick, Inc. (acquired January 10, 2014) and the contribution of CityGrid Media, partially offset by a decline in revenue at Ask.com.  Applications revenue decreased primarily due to lower queries in B2B (our partnership operations), partially offset by query growth in B2C (our direct to consumer downloadable applications business).  Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower revenue and the impact of the write-off of $4.3 million of deferred revenue in connection with the April 1, 2014 acquisition of SlimWare, partially offset by the contribution of the ValueClick businesses and CityGrid Media.

 

The Match Group

 

Dating revenue grew 7% driven by 6% growth in North America(1) and 8% growth in International(2).  Non-dating(3) revenue grew 84%.  The growth in revenue was driven by increased subscribers.  Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher marketing expense at Dating and DailyBurn.  Operating income increased 15% as the prior year was negatively impacted by a $4.2 million contingent consideration fair value adjustment and the current year benefited from a $3.4 million year-over-year decrease in amortization of intangibles.

 

Note 1:  Includes Match.com, Chemistry, People Media, OkCupid and other dating businesses operating within the United States and Canada.
Note 2: Includes all dating businesses operating outside of the United States and Canada.

Note 3: Includes DailyBurn and Tutor.com.

Media

 

Revenue decreased due to the impact of the closure of the Newsweek print business and the sale of the Newsweek digital business as well as timing of Electus projects, partially offset by continued strong growth at Vimeo.  The Adjusted EBITDA loss was larger than the prior year due to the favorable effect of certain items related to the Newsweek print closure in the prior year and increased Vimeo investment in the current year.

 

eCommerce

 

Revenue decreased due to the move of CityGrid Media to the Search & Applications segment.  Excluding the impact of CityGrid Media, revenue grew 12% driven mainly by HomeAdvisor.  Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly as the prior year included $4.8 million in severance costs related to the restructuring of CityGrid Media, partially offset by increased investment in the current year at HomeAdvisor.  Operating income increased $4.6 million, primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in amortization of intangibles due principally to an impairment at CityGrid Media related to the restructuring in the prior year.

 

Corporate

 

Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased due to lower compensation costs and professional fees.  Corporate operating loss reflects an increase of $5.0 million in non-cash compensation expense due to higher forfeitures in the prior year and the issuance of equity awards since the prior year.

 

OTHER ITEMS

 

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes includes $68.4 million of write-downs of certain investments.

 

Interest expense increased due the issuance of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2018 in November 2013.

 

The effective tax rates for continuing operations in Q2 2014 and Q2 2013 were 251% and 40%, respectively, and the effective tax rates for Adjusted Net Income in Q2 2014 and Q2 2013 were 94% and 37%, respectively.  The Q2 2014 effective rates for continuing operations and Adjusted Net Income were higher than the statutory rate due primarily to the unbenefited loss associated with the write-downs of certain investments; excluding the effect of the write-downs, the tax rates for continuing operations and Adjusted Net Income in Q2 2014 would have been 40% and 38%, respectively, and were higher than the statutory rate due to state taxes and interest on tax reserves, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA, 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, 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) non-cash compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairments and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure 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 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 earnings attributable to IAC shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and noncontrolling interests, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangibles and goodwill and intangible asset impairments and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, (3) income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE, and (4) discontinued operations.  We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IAC’s consolidated results as well as other charges that are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.

 

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes.  We include dilution from options and warrants in accordance with the treasury stock method and include all restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, with performance-based RSUs included based on the number of shares that the Company believes are probable of vesting.  This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which are treated on a treasury method, and performance-based RSUs, which are included for GAAP purposes only to the extent the performance criteria have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period).  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, IAC’s 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, income taxes and noncontrolling interests, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.  Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Adjusted EBITDA, and in addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not account for IAC’s 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, less capital expenditures.  In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes, if applicable, tax payments and refunds related to the sales of certain businesses and investments, including IAC’s interests in VUE, an internal restructuring and dividends received that represent a return of capital due to the exclusion of the proceeds from these sales and dividends 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 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

 

Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs.  These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for stock options and restricted stock units are included on a treasury method basis, and for performance-based RSUs are included on a treasury method basis once the performance conditions are met.  We view the true cost of our restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs as the dilution to our share base, and such units are included in our shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes as described above under the definition of Adjusted EPS.  Upon the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of restricted stock units 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.

 

Amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairments are non-cash expenses relating 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 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 ongoing costs of doing business.

 

Income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC had no operating control over VUE, which was sold for a gain in 2005, had no way to forecast this business, and did not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IAC’s businesses.

 

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 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.
