Match Group
| · | Revenue growth was due primarily to increased subscribers and ARPU at Tinder, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange effects. |
| · | Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue due to lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher cost of revenue, due primarily to in-app purchase fees as revenue is increasingly sourced through mobile app stores, and higher legal costs. |
Please refer to the Match Group Q3 2019 earnings release and the related investor presentation referenced therein for further detail.
Page 3 of 19
ANGI Homeservices
| · | Revenue increased 18% to $357.4 million driven by: |
| o | 27% Marketplace growth due to: | |
| § | a 19% increase in service requests to 7.6 million | |
| § | a 10% increase in paying service professionals to 226,000 | |
| § | a 16% increase in revenue per paying service professional to a record $1,199 | |
| o | 10% growth in Europe, impacted by $0.8 million unfavorable foreign exchange effects (15% growth in local currency) | |
| o | The acquisitions of Handy (in October 2018; included in Marketplace) and Fixd Repair (January 2019) |
| · | Pro Forma Revenue increased 22% (excluding Q3 2018 deferred revenue write-offs of $0.7 million in connection with the Angie’s List transaction and revenue of $10.2 million from Felix, which was sold on December 31, 2018). |
| · | Operating income decreased $8.8 million to $24.7 million due to 24% lower Adjusted EBITDA and $5.1 million higher depreciation expense, partially offset by $13.7 million lower stock-based compensation expense and $1.4 million lower amortization of intangibles. |
| o | Adjusted EBITDA decreased due primarily to higher selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue and investments at Handy, Fixd Repair and the pre-priced product expansion on HomeAdvisor, partially offset by $2.3 million of transaction-related items in connection with the Angie’s List transaction and Handy acquisition in the prior year period. |
Please refer to the ANGI Homeservices Q3 2019 earnings release and the IAC Q3 2019 shareholder letter for further detail.
Page 4 of 19
Vimeo
| · | Revenue increased 29% to $52.1 million driven by 40% higher Platform Revenue, partially offset by the sale of the hardware business in Q1 2019. |
| o | Platform Revenue growth was due to: | |
| § | a 30% increase in ending subscribers to over 1.2 million (including the addition of subscribers from Magisto, which was acquired on May 28, 2019). Ending subscribers increased 8% year-over-year excluding Magisto | |
| § | a 7% increase in average revenue per subscriber |
| · | Operating loss increased $5.0 million to $11.2 million due to Adjusted EBITDA losses increasing $3.8 million to $8.0 million primarily due to higher marketing and payroll costs (due in part to the Magisto acquisition) and $1.5 million higher amortization of intangibles. |
Dotdash
| · | Revenue increased 34% to $40.3 million due to 44% higher traffic resulting in strong advertising revenue growth, as well as growth in affiliate commerce commissions. |
| · | Operating income increased $1.3 million to $3.7 million due to Adjusted EBITDA increasing $4.0 million to $7.0 million, partially offset by $2.7 million higher amortization of intangibles. |
Applications
| · | Revenue decreased 18% to $126.1 million due to a 37% decrease at Desktop, partially offset by a 45% increase at Mosaic Group. |
| o | Mosaic Group revenue growth was due to: | |
| § | 14% growth related to the ongoing transition to subscription products and new products | |
| § | The acquisition of TelTech in Q4 2018 | |
| o | The decrease in Desktop revenue was driven by lower Consumer queries and continued Partnerships declines. |
| · | Operating income increased 18% to $39.1 million due to a $16.1 million decrease in the expected amount of contingent consideration to be paid in connection with a previous acquisition, partially offset by Adjusted EBITDA declining to $25.4 million. |
Page 5 of 19
Emerging & Other
| · | Revenue decreased 3% to $129.6 million due primarily to the sales of Electus, Dictionary.com and CityGrid in Q4 2018 and lower IAC Films and College Humor Media revenue, partially offset by higher revenue from Ask Media Group and Bluecrew. |
| · | Operating loss was $1.8 million in Q3 2019 compared to a profit of $10.9 million in Q3 2018 and Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.5 million in Q3 2019 compared to a profit of $12.2 million in Q3 2018. The profit declines were due primarily to investment in College Humor Media and Bluecrew, lower margins at Ask Media Group and the above-mentioned sales of businesses in Q4 2018. |
Corporate
Operating loss increased $4.5 million driven primarily by a $4.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, as a result of the issuance of new equity awards, and higher Adjusted EBITDA losses including $1.0 million in costs related to the proposed separation of Match Group from IAC.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax benefits of $14.8 million in Q3 2019 and $18.2 million in Q3 2018, despite pre-tax income, due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards and research credits in both periods.
While the Company does not expect to be a full US federal cash income tax payer until 2022, which is in line with previous estimates, the ultimate timing is dependent upon a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, other components of pre-tax income (including realized gains and losses), the amount and timing of tax deductions related to stock-based awards and the impacts, if any, of the proposed separation of Match Group from IAC.
Page 6 of 19
Free Cash Flow
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Free Cash Flow decreased $26.5 million to $585.1 million due primarily to higher capital expenditures, partially offset by favorable working capital.

| Total Diluted Shares Outstanding | 85.9 | 86.0 | 86.3 | 86.5 | 86.8 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
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.
RSUs and non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards – These awards are settled on a net basis, with the Company paying in cash any required withholding taxes on behalf of the employees upon net settlement of the awards; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise assuming a withholding tax rate of 50%. 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. Withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would be $28.5 million, assuming a stock price of $229.56 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 September 30, 2019.
Options – The Company settles stock options on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon exercise assuming no proceeds are received by the Company and any required withholding taxes are paid in cash by the Company on behalf of the employees assuming a withholding tax rate of 50%. In addition, the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the exercise of these awards is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares. Withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would be $404.2 million ($321.6 million for vested options and $82.5 million for unvested options), assuming a stock price of $229.56 and a 50% withholding rate.
Exchangeable Senior Notes – The Company has three series of Exchangeable Senior Notes outstanding. In the event of an exchange, each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes can be settled in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares. At the time of each Exchangeable Senior Notes issuance, the Company purchased call options with a strike price equal to the exchange price of each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes (“Note Hedge”), which can be used to offset the dilution of each series of the Exchangeable Senior Notes. No dilution is reflected in the table above for the $517.5 million 0.875% Exchangeable Senior Notes due October 1, 2022, which is the only series of Exchangeable Senior Notes that is currently exchangeable, because it is the Company’s intention to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes with cash equal to the face amount of the notes; any shares issued would be offset by shares received upon exercise of the Note Hedge.
Warrants – At the time of the issuance of each series of Exchangeable Senior Notes, the Company also sold warrants for the number of shares with the strike prices reflected in the table above. The cash generated from the exercise of the warrants is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares and the net dilution is reflected in the table above.
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 ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue, ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, all of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 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. ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects provides a comparable framework for assessing how ANGI Homeservices European businesses performed without the effect of exchange rate differences when compared to prior years. 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, however, 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
ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue is defined as revenue excluding (i) in any prior period, revenue from any businesses sold or disposed of, and for which no revenue is reflected in the current period and (ii) any write-offs of deferred revenue as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. The percentage change in ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue is calculated by subtracting ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue for the applicable period in the year ended December 31, 2018 from the Pro Forma Revenue as reported or forecasted revenue in the applicable period in the year ending December 31, 2019 and dividing the resulting difference by the ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue in the applicable period in the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe the presentation of ANGI Homeservices Pro Forma Revenue and the percentage change in revenue on a pro forma basis, in addition to revenue on a GAAP basis, helps improve the ability to understand ANGI Homeservices’ revenue performance because it presents revenue on a comparable basis by excluding the revenue from any businesses sold or disposed of, and for which no revenue is reflected in the current period and any write-offs of deferred revenue as a result of purchase accounting adjustments.
ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects is calculated by translating current period revenues using prior period exchange rates. The percentage change in ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects is calculated by determining the change in ANGI Homeservices Europe current period revenues over prior period revenues where current period revenues are translated using prior period exchange rates. We believe the impact of foreign exchange rates on ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue may be an important factor in understanding period over period comparisons if movement in rates is significant. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, international revenues are favorably impacted as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other foreign currencies, and unfavorably impacted as the U.S dollar strengthens relative to other foreign currencies. We believe the presentation of ANGI Homeservices Europe Revenue Excluding Foreign Exchange Effects in addition to reported revenue helps improve the ability to understand ANGI Homeservices Europe’s performance because it excludes the impact of foreign currency volatility that is not indicative of ANGI Homeservices Europe’s core operating results.
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 because it excludes the impact 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.

IAC PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING (continued)
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Adjusted EBITDA
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions (including the combination of HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List) 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 10 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of November 1, 2019 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 of HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List). At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as technology, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base, memberships, trade names and content, 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.

About IAC
IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) builds companies. We are guided by curiosity, a questioning of the status quo, and a desire to invent or acquire new products and brands. From the single seed that started as IAC over two decades ago have emerged 10 public companies and generations of exceptional leaders. We will always evolve, but our basic principles of financially-disciplined opportunism will never change. IAC today operates Vimeo and Dotdash, among many others, and also has majority ownership of both Match Group, which includes Tinder, Match, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid and Hinge, and ANGI Homeservices, which includes HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List and Handy. The Company is headquartered in New York City and has business operations and satellite offices worldwide.
