NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Separation
On December 19, 2019, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("Old IAC") entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended as of April 28, 2020 and June 22, 2020, the "Transaction Agreement") with Match Group, Inc. ("Old MTCH"), IAC Holdings, Inc. ("New IAC" or the "Company"), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC, and Valentine Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC. On June 30, 2020, the businesses of Old MTCH were separated from the remaining businesses of Old IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) Old IAC, which was renamed Match Group, Inc. ("New Match") and which owns the businesses of Old MTCH and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp, and which owns Old IAC's other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old MTCH (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match. This transaction is referred to as the "Separation".
Nature of Operations
The Company operates Vimeo, Dotdash and Care.com, among many other online businesses, and has majority ownership of ANGI Homeservices, which includes HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List and Handy.
Basis of Presentation
As used herein, ‘‘IAC,’’ the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ or ‘‘us’’ and similar terms refer to IAC/InterActiveCorp and the businesses comprising IAC (unless the context requires otherwise).
The Company prepares its consolidated and combined financial statements (collectively referred to herein as "financial statements") in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’).
The Company's financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis beginning June 30, 2020 and on a combined basis for periods prior thereto. The difference in presentation is due to the fact that the final steps of the legal reorganization, including the contribution of all the entities that comprise the Company following the Separation, were not completed until June 30, 2020. The preparation of the financial statements on a combined basis for periods prior to June 30, 2020 allows for the financial statements to be presented on a consistent basis for all periods presented.
The historical combined financial statements of the Company have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Old IAC. The combined financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the entities comprising the Company since their respective dates of acquisition by Old IAC and the allocation to the Company of certain Old IAC corporate expenses based on the historical financial statements and accounting records of Old IAC through June 30, 2020. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. For the purpose of the combined financial statements, income taxes have been computed as if the entities comprising the Company filed tax returns on a standalone, separate basis for periods prior to the Separation.
All intercompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between (i) the Company and (ii) Old IAC and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Separation are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the balance sheet as ‘‘Invested capital.’’
In management’s opinion, the assumptions underlying the historical financial statements of the Company, including the basis on which the expenses have been allocated from Old IAC, are reasonable. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses that we may have incurred as an independent, stand-alone company for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on the Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on October 5, 2020.
COVID-19 Update and Impairments
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 outbreak, which has been declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization, has been varied. The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the speed of contagion, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to the operating environment in which we do business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the virus continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for the Company’s various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited will be the Company’s ability to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues.
In March 2020, the Company's ANGI Homeservices business experienced a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). In the second quarter of 2020, ANGI Homeservices experienced a rebound in service requests, exceeding pre-COVID-19 growth levels, driven by increased demand from homeowners who spent more time at home due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. ANGI Homeservices continued to experience strong demand for home services in the third quarter of 2020. However, many service professionals' businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted ANGI Homeservices' ability to monetize this increased level of service requests. Vimeo has seen strong revenue growth as the demand for communication via video has increased due to the pandemic. The Search segment has experienced a decline in revenue due, in part, to the decrease in advertising rates due to the impact of COVID-19, which decrease in rates was more significant earlier in the year.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the effects of COVID-19 were an indicator of possible impairment for certain of its assets and identified the following impairments:
• | a $212.0 million impairment related to the goodwill of the Desktop reporting unit; | |
• | a $21.4 million impairment related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Desktop reporting unit; | |
• | a $51.5 million impairment of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values; and | |
• | a $7.5 million impairment of a note receivable and a warrant related to certain investees. |
There were no impairments identified during the second quarter of 2020.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairments of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, of the Desktop reporting unit. Refer to "Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google" for additional information.
In addition, the United States, which represents 81% and 80% of the Company's revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, has experienced a significant resurgence of the COVID-19 virus with record levels of infection being reported in the weeks following September 30, 2020. Europe, which is the second largest market for the Company's products and services, has also seen a dramatic resurgence in COVID-19. This resurgence and the measures designed to curb its spread could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable debt and equity securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of revenue reserves; the carrying value of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets"); the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and building, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; contingencies; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
Accounting for Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities, other than those of the Company's consolidated and combined subsidiaries and those accounted for under the equity method, if applicable, are accounted for at fair value or under the measurement alternative of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, with any changes to fair value recognized within other income (expense), net each reporting period. Under the measurement alternative, equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities of the same issuer; value is generally determined based on a market approach as of the transaction date. A security will be considered identical or similar if it has identical or similar rights to the equity securities held by the Company. The Company reviews its investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values for impairment each reporting period when there are qualitative factors or events that indicate possible impairment. Factors the Company considers in making this determination include negative changes in industry and market conditions, financial performance, business prospects, and other relevant events and factors. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company prepares quantitative assessments of the fair value of its investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When the Company's assessment indicates that the fair value of the investment is below its carrying value, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value and records the corresponding charge within other income (expense), net. See "Note 5 - Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the impairments of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
In the event the Company has investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying balance sheet. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any investments accounted for using the equity method.
General Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company's customers and in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
The Company's disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in "Note 10—Segment Information."

Prior to January 1, 2020, ANGI's Handy business recorded revenue on a net basis. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company modified the Handy terms and conditions so that Handy, rather than the service professional, has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and Handy, rather than the consumer, has the contractual relationship with the service professional. Consumers request services and pay for such services directly through the Handy platform and then Handy fulfills the request with independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. This change in contractual terms requires gross revenue accounting treatment effective January 1, 2020. Also, in the case of certain tasks, HomeAdvisor provides a pre-priced product offering, pursuant to which consumers can request services through a HomeAdvisor platform and pay HomeAdvisor for the services directly. HomeAdvisor then fulfills the request with independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. Revenue from HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering is also recorded on a gross basis effective January 1, 2020. In addition to changing the presentation of revenue to gross from net, the timing of revenue recognition changed for HomeAdvisor pre-priced jobs and will be later than consumer connection revenue because the Company will not be able to record revenue, generally, until the service professional completes the job on the Company's behalf. The change to gross revenue reporting for Handy and HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering, effective January 1, 2020, resulted in an increase in revenue of $20.8 million and $51.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of advance payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of the Company's performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2019 are $178.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $163.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $139.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at September 30, 2020 are $268.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying balance sheet.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. The amount of capitalized sales commissions where the initial customer relationship period is greater than one year is $61.4 million and $42.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The current and non-current capitalized sales commissions balances are included in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying balance sheet and are $52.5 million and $8.9 million, and $36.1 million and $6.2 million, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The revenue reserve was $4.6 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total allowance for credit losses and revenue reserve was $35.0 million and $24.1 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to the Services Agreement. In addition, the Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total revenue earned from Google was $132.4 million and $385.9 million, representing 17% and 18%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenue earned from Google was $182.4 million and $574.7 million, representing 26% and 28%, respectively, of the Company's combined revenue. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $46.3 million and $53.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business and Ask Media Group, both within the Search segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue from the Services Agreement of $35.6 million and $118.9 million, respectively, was earned within the Desktop business and $83.7 million and $231.2 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenue from the Services Agreement of $68.0 million and $234.1 million, respectively, was earned within the Desktop business and $100.3 million and $299.1 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group.
The Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2023; provided that during each September, either party may, after discussion with the other party, terminate the Services Agreement, effective on September 30 of the year following the year such notice is given. Neither party gave notice to the other party to terminate the Services Agreement pursuant to this provision in September 2020. The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of the Company's products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations, particularly the businesses in our Search segment. From time to time, Google has made changes to the policies under the Services Agreement and has also made industry-wide changes that have negatively impacted the Desktop business and Google may do so in the future.
Google implemented industry-wide policy changes that became effective on July 1, 2019 and August 27, 2020. These industry-wide changes, combined with other changes to policies under the Services Agreement during the second half of 2019, have had a negative impact on the historical and expected future results of operations of the Desktop business.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company reassessed the fair values of the Desktop reporting unit and the related indefinite-lived intangible assets and recorded impairments equal to the remaining carrying value of the goodwill of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the intangible assets. The reduction in the Company’s fair value estimates is due to lower consumer queries, increasing challenges in monetization and the reduced ability to market profitably due to policy changes implemented by Google and other browsers. The effects of COVID-19 on monetization were an additional factor.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach and there was no cumulative effect arising from the adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 effective January 1, 2020, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within ASU No. 2019-12 are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective basis for those amendments that are not applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The Company was included within Old IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings through June 30, 2020, the date of the Separation. For periods prior thereto, the income tax benefit/provision were computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from Old IAC for the Company’s share of Old IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying statement of cash flows.
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company's tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision in the quarter in which the change occurs.
We have calculated the provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 using the estimated annual effective tax rate method described above. We have used the discrete effective tax rate method to calculate domestic taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 because small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $29.5 million and $107.0 million respectively, due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by the non-deductible portion of the Desktop goodwill impairment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $19.1 million and $53.3 million respectively, due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards.
As a result of the Separation, the Company's net deferred tax liability was adjusted via invested capital for tax attributes allocated to it from Old IAC's consolidated federal and state tax filings. The allocation of tax attributes that was recorded as of June 30, 2020 was preliminary. Any subsequent adjustment to allocated tax attributes will be recorded as an adjustment to deferred taxes and additional paid-in capital. This adjustment is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2021 following the filing of income tax returns for the year ending December 31, 2020.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Accruals for interest and penalties are not material.

The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax as a result of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with Old IAC. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has substantially completed its audit of Old IAC’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2016, which includes the operations of the Company. The IRS began its audit of the year ended December 31, 2017 in the second quarter of 2020. The statute of limitations for the years 2010 through 2012 and for the years 2013 through 2017 have been extended to May 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2009. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are $19.5 million and $20.3 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at September 30, 2020 decreased by $0.8 million due primarily to research credits. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2020 are subsequently recognized, $18.0 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2019 was $18.9 million. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $6.1 million by March 31, 2021, due primarily to expirations of statutes of limitations and other settlements, all of which would reduce the income tax provision.
On February 11, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of Care.com, a leading global platform for finding and managing family care, for a total purchase price of $626.9 million, which includes cash consideration of $587.0 million paid by the Company and the settlement of all outstanding vested employee equity awards for $40.0 million paid by Care.com prior to the completion of the acquisition. The Company's purchase accounting is not yet complete and is not expected to be finalized until the first quarter of 2021; the allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily intangible assets, goodwill, income tax related assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities, is preliminary and subject to revision.

The Company acquired Care.com because it is complementary to other marketplace businesses of IAC. The purchase price was based on the expected financial performance of Care.com, not on the value of the net identifiable assets at the time of acquisition. This resulted in a significant portion of the purchase price being attributed to goodwill.
The preliminary estimated fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired at the date of acquisition are as follows:

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired | $ | 145,300 |
Accounts receivable, other current assets, other non-current assets, other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities of Care.com were reviewed and adjusted to their fair values at the date of acquisition, as necessary. The fair value of deferred revenue was determined using an income approach that utilized a cost to fulfill analysis. The fair values of the trade name and developed technology were determined using an income approach that utilized the relief from royalty methodology. The fair values of customer relationships and provider relationships were determined using an income approach that utilized the excess earnings methodology. The valuations of the intangible assets incorporate significant unobservable inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and the determination of royalty and discount rates. The amount attributed to goodwill is not tax deductible.
The financial results of Care.com are included in the Company's financial statements, within the Emerging & Other segment, beginning February 11, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company included $56.7 million and $123.2 million of revenue, respectively, and $15.7 million and $31.6 million of net loss, respectively, in its statement of operations related to Care.com. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net loss of Care.com reflects a reduction in revenue of $2.4 million and $15.7 million, respectively, due to the write-off of deferred revenue due to purchase accounting fair value adjustments and $2.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in transaction-related costs, including severance.

Additions are related to the acquisition of Care.com (included in the Emerging & Other segment).
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the effects of COVID-19 were an indicator of possible impairment for certain of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets and identified the following impairments:
• | a $212.0 million impairment related to the goodwill of the Desktop reporting unit (included in the Search segment) and | |
• | a $21.4 million impairment related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Desktop reporting unit (included in the Search segment). |
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company reassessed the fair values of the Desktop reporting unit and the related indefinite-lived intangible assets and recorded impairments equal to the remaining carrying value of the goodwill of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the intangible assets. The reduction in the Company’s fair value estimates is due to lower consumer queries, increasing challenges in monetization and the reduced ability to market profitably due to policy changes implemented by Google and other browsers. The effects of COVID-19 on monetization were an additional factor.
The Company also reassessed the fair value of the Mosaic Group reporting unit (included in the Emerging & Other segment) and determined that as of September 30, 2020, its fair value approximates its carrying value of $239.9 million. To the extent there is a decline in the fair value of the Mosaic reporting unit below its carrying value, a goodwill impairment would be recorded to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The fair values of the Desktop and Mosaic Group reporting units were determined using both an income approach based on discounted cash flows ("DCF") and a market approach. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses were based on the most recent forecasts for Desktop and Mosaic Group for 2020 and each of the years in the forecast period, which were updated in light of the factors described above. For years beyond the forecast period, Desktop and Mosaic Group estimates were based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses were intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the Desktop and Mosaic Group reporting units. The discount rate used for determining the fair value of both the Desktop and Mosaic Group reporting units was 15.0%. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined, which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of the Desktop and Mosaic Group reporting units. To determine a peer group of companies for Desktop and Mosaic Group, the Company considered companies relevant in terms of consumer use, monetization model, margin and growth characteristics, and brand strength operating in their respective sectors. The aggregate carrying value of goodwill for which the most recent estimate of the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20% is approximately $655.0 million.

Additions primarily relate to the acquisitions of Magisto (included in the Vimeo segment) and Fixd Repair (included in the ANGI Homeservices segment). Deductions primarily relate to tax benefits of acquired attributes related to the acquisition of Handy (included in the ANGI Homeservices segment). During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of $3.3 million related to the goodwill of the College Humor Media business (included in the Emerging & Other Segment), which was sold on March 16, 2020.
The September 30, 2020 goodwill balances reflect accumulated impairment losses of $981.3 million and $198.3 million at Search and Dotdash, respectively. The December 31, 2019 goodwill balances reflect accumulated impairment losses of $716.2 million and $198.3 million at Search and Dotdash, respectively, and $14.9 million related to College Humor Media (included in the Emerging & Other segment).
As described above, the Company updated its calculations of the fair value for certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and recorded impairments of $32.2 million in aggregate at Desktop, related to indefinite-lived trade names. The impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets is included in “Amortization of intangibles” in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company determines the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using an avoided royalty DCF valuation analysis. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses were intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses were based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company's trade names and trademarks. The discount rate used to value the trade names that were impaired in the first quarter of 2020 was 15.0% and the royalty rate was 1.0%. The aggregate carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets for which the most recent estimate of the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20% is approximately $59.3 million.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
• | Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. |
• | Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company's Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used. |
• | Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |

The potential earnout payment for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $15.0 million; however, the financial performance threshold that would have triggered that payment was not achieved. At September 30, 2020, the Company does not expect to make any payments related to this contingent consideration arrangement. In connection with the Care.com acquisition on February 11, 2020, the Company assumed a contingent consideration arrangement liability of $1.0 million, which was subsequently paid and settled during the first quarter of 2020.
Generally, our contingent consideration arrangements are based upon financial performance and/or operating metric targets and the Company generally determines the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements by using probability-weighted analyses to determine the amounts of the gross liability, and, if the arrangements are initially long-term in nature, applying a discount rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligations to determine the net amount reflected in the financial statements.

The fair value of contingent consideration arrangements is sensitive to changes in the expected achievement of the applicable targets and changes in discount rates. The Company remeasures the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements each reporting period, including the accretion of the discount, if applicable, and changes are recognized in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying statement of operations. There is no contingent consideration liability outstanding at September 30, 2020. The contingent consideration arrangement liability at December 31, 2019 includes a non-current portion of $6.9 million and, is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying balance sheet.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets and building, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The Company's financial assets, comprising equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. See "Note 4—Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for a detailed description of the Desktop goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments recorded during the first and third quarter of 2020.

ANGI Group Senior Notes
On August 20, 2020, ANGI Group, LLC ("ANGI Group"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ANGI, issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of the ANGI Group Senior Notes, the proceeds of which are intended for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions and return of capital. At any time prior to August 15, 2023, these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:

2023 | 101.938 | % | |||
2024 | 100.969 | % | |||
2025 and thereafter | 100.000 | % |
The indenture governing the ANGI Group Senior Notes contains a covenant that would limit ANGI Group’s ability to incur liens for borrowed money in the event a default has occurred or the ANGI Group’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 3.75 to 1.0. At September 30, 2020, there were no limitations pursuant thereto.
ANGI Group Term Loan and ANGI Group Revolving Facility
ANGI was a party to a credit agreement that terminates on November 5, 2021. On August 12, 2020, ANGI Group entered into a joinder agreement with ANGI, the other subsidiaries of ANGI that are party to the credit agreement, and each of the other loan parties to the credit agreement, pursuant to which, ANGI Group became the successor borrower under the credit agreement and ANGI Homeservices Inc.'s obligations thereunder were terminated. The credit agreement governs the ANGI Group Term Loan and revolving credit facility (the "ANGI Group Revolving Facility"). In addition, on August 12, 2020, the definition of "Permitted Unsecured Ratio Debt" in the credit agreement was amended to remove the requirement that guarantees of certain indebtedness of the borrower be subordinated to the guarantees under the credit agreement.
The outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan was $237.2 million and $247.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There are quarterly principal payments of $3.4 million through December 31, 2021, $6.9 million for the one-year period ending December 31, 2022 and $10.3 million through maturity of the loan when the final amount of $161.6 million is due. Additionally, interest payments are due at least quarterly through the term of the loan. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the ANGI Group Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, or 1.66% and 3.25%, respectively. The spread over LIBOR is subject to change in future periods based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio.
The ANGI Group Term Loan requires ANGI Group to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 4.5 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 (in each case as defined in the ANGI Group credit agreement). The ANGI Group credit agreement also contains covenants that would limit ANGI Group's ability to pay dividends or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.25 to 1.0. At September 30, 2020, there were no limitations pursuant thereto.

The $250 million ANGI Group Revolving Facility expires on November 5, 2023. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and was 25 basis points at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Any future borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility would bear interest, at ANGI Group's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio. The financial and other covenants are the same as those for the ANGI Group Term Loan.
The ANGI Group Senior Notes, ANGI Group Term Loan and ANGI Group Revolving Facility are guaranteed by certain of ANGI Group's wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries and ANGI Group’s obligations under the ANGI Group Term Loan and the ANGI Group Revolving Facility are secured by substantially all assets of ANGI Group and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The ANGI Group Term Loan and outstanding borrowings, if any, under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility rank equally with each other, and have priority over the ANGI Group Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the borrowings under the credit agreement.
IAC Group Credit Facility
The IAC Group, LLC ("IAC Group") $250 million revolving credit facility (the "IAC Group Credit Facility"), which was scheduled to expire on November 5, 2023, was terminated effective October 2, 2020. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the IAC Group Credit Facility.

(a) | If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and subsidiary denominated equity, and vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). For the three months ended September 30, 2020, less than 0.1 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a loss from operations and as a result, approximately 6.0 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding were used to compute the earnings per share amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. |
(b) | IAC has the option to settle certain ANGI stock-based awards in its shares. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, it is more dilutive for IAC to settle these ANGI equity awards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a loss from operations, therefore it is more dilutive for ANGI to settle these ANGI equity awards. The impact on earnings relates to the settlement of ANGI's dilutive securities under the if-converted method. |
(c) | The Company computed basic and diluted earnings per share for periods prior to the Separation using the shares issued on June 30, 2020 in connection with the Separation. |
The overall concept that the Company employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with: how the chief operating decision maker views the businesses; how the businesses are organized as to segment management; and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services offered or the target market. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they meet certain aggregation criteria, which principally relate to the similarity of their economic characteristics or, in the case of the Emerging & Other reportable segment, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate reportable segments.

(d) | The Company's primary financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which 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. The Company believes this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between the Company's performance and that of its competitors. The above items are excluded from the Company's Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses. |

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See "Note 2—Income Taxes" for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

Tinder Optionholder Litigation against IAC and MTCH
In August 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group’s Tinder business filed a lawsuit in New York state court against IAC and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme Court, New York County). The complaint alleges that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by certain investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their Tinder stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Match Group, thereby depriving the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand-alone basis. The complaint asserts inter alia claims for breach of contract and interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. Shortly after filing suit, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs.
In October 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, including that the 2017 valuation of Tinder by the investment banks was an expert determination any challenge to which is time-barred under applicable law. In June 2019, the court issued a decision and order granting the motion in part but leaving plaintiffs’ principal claims intact. The defendants appealed from the partial denial of their motion to dismiss, and in October 2019, the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the lower court’s decision. After additional appellate motion practice, in May 2020, the Appellate Division reaffirmed the lower court’s decision on different grounds. In June 2020, the defendants filed a motion for leave to appeal that decision to the Court of Appeals; the Appellate Division denied the motion in July 2020.
In June 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss based upon certain provisions of the plaintiffs’ agreement with a litigation funding firm; that motion remains pending. From July to November 2019, the defendants filed counterclaims against Sean Rad for breach of contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged misappropriation and unauthorized destruction of confidential company information, unauthorized recording of conversations with company employees, and breach of his non-solicitation obligations. In January 2020, the parties participated in a mediation that did not result in the resolution of the matter.
Document discovery in the case is substantially complete; deposition discovery is in progress. In July 2020, the four individuals who earlier had discontinued their claims in the lawsuit commenced arbitration proceedings against IAC and Match Group before the American Arbitration Association in California, asserting the same claims and seeking the same relief as the six remaining plaintiffs in the lawsuit. In September 2020, the defendants filed a motion to stay the trial in the New York action in favor of the California arbitration proceedings; that motion remains pending. IAC believes that the allegations in this lawsuit and the arbitrations are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them. For a fuller description of this matter, please see Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (as defined in Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General-Separation), Match Group has agreed to indemnify the Company for matters relating to any business of Match Group, including indemnifying the Company for costs related to the matter described above.
NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Old IAC prior to the Separation
The Company’s statement of operations includes allocations of costs, including stock-based compensation expense, related to Old IAC’s accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions prior to the Separation. Old IAC historically allocated costs related to its accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions that were incurred at the Old IAC legal entity level to its publicly traded subsidiaries, Old MTCH and ANGI Homeservices, based upon time spent or other cost drivers, such as revenue, number of legal entities or transaction volume, in their standalone financial statements. For periods subsequent to the Old MTCH initial public offering in November 2015 and the combination of the HomeAdvisor business and Angie's List, Inc into ANGI Homeservices on September 29, 2017 (the "Combination"), Old IAC billed Old MTCH and ANGI Homeservices for any services provided under the applicable services agreements. The remaining unallocated expenses of Old IAC related to its accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions were allocated to the Company. Allocated costs, inclusive of stock-based compensation expense, in 2020 prior to the Separation, were $85.5 million. Allocated costs, inclusive of stock-based compensation expense, were $46.6 million and $119.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. It is not practicable to determine the actual expenses that would have been incurred for these services had the Company operated as a standalone entity during the periods presented. Management considers the allocation method to be reasonable.

The Company and Expedia each have a 50% ownership interest in two aircraft that may be used by both companies. In 2019, the Company and Expedia entered into an agreement to jointly acquire a new corporate aircraft for a total expected cost of $72.3 million (including purchase price and related costs), with each company to bear 50% of such expected cost. The Company paid approximately $23 million in 2019 in connection with our joint entry into the purchase agreement, and the respective share of the balance is due upon delivery of the new aircraft, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021. Members of the aircraft flight crews are employed by an entity in which the Company and Expedia each have a 50% ownership interest. The Company and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits pro-rata according to each company’s respective usage of the aircraft, for which they are separately billed by the entity described above. The Company and Expedia are related parties since they were under common control, given that Mr. Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both IAC and Expedia. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, total payments made to this entity by the Company were not material.
On November 5, 2020, the Company announced it is considering a spin-off of its ownership stake in Vimeo to its shareholders; the Company also entered into an agreement to raise $150 million at Vimeo at an enterprise value of approximately $2.75 billion.
On November 5, 2020, the Company entered into a new, ten-year employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") and a Restricted Stock Agreement ("RSA Agreement") with Joseph Levin, IAC's Chief Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $1,000,000 and a discretionary annual bonus, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The RSA Agreement provides for a grant of 3,000,000 shares of IAC restricted common stock, that cliff vest on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date based on satisfaction of IAC's stock price targets and Mr. Levin's continued employment through the vesting date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Mr. Levin may elect to accelerate vesting of the IAC restricted shares, effective on the 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th anniversary of the grant date, in which case performance will be measured through such date, and Mr. Levin will receive a pro-rated portion of the award (based on the years elapsed from the grant date) and any remaining shares will be forfeited. The applicable stock price goals are proportionately lower on the earlier vesting dates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
Separation
On December 19, 2019, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("Old IAC") entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended as of April 28, 2020 and June 22, 2020, the "Transaction Agreement") with Match Group, Inc. ("Old MTCH"), IAC Holdings, Inc. ("New IAC" or the "Company"), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC, and Valentine Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC. On June 30, 2020, the businesses of Old MTCH were separated from the remaining businesses of Old IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) Old IAC, which was renamed Match Group, Inc. ("New Match") and which owns the businesses of Old MTCH and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp, and which owns Old IAC's other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old MTCH (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match. This transaction is referred to as the "Separation."

Pursuant to the joinder agreement entered into on August 12, 2020, ANGI Group became the successor borrower under the ANGI Group Term Loan and ANGI Homeservices Inc.’s obligations thereunder were terminated. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the ANGI Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%.

See "Principles of Financial Reporting" for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to IAC shareholders to operating (loss) income to consolidated and combined Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. |
Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to the Services Agreement. In addition, the Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total revenue earned from Google was $132.4 million and $385.9 million, representing 17% and 18%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, total revenue earned from Google was $182.4 million and $574.7 million, representing 26% and 28%, respectively, of the Company's combined revenue. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $46.3 million and $53.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business and Ask Media Group, both within the Search segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue from the Services Agreement of $35.6 million and $118.9 million, respectively, was earned within the Desktop business and $83.7 million and $231.2 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenue from the Services Agreement of $68.0 million and $234.1 million, respectively, was earned within the Desktop business and $100.3 million and $299.1 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group.
The Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2023; provided that during each September, either party may, after discussion with the other party, terminate the Services Agreement, effective on September 30 of the year following the year such notice is given. Neither party gave notice to the other party to terminate the Services Agreement pursuant to this provision in September 2020. The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly the businesses in our Search segment. As described below, Google has made changes to the policies under the Services Agreement and has also made industry-wide changes that have negatively impacted the Desktop business and Google may do so in the future.
Google implemented industry-wide policy changes that became effective on July 1, 2019 and August 27, 2020. These industry-wide changes, combined with other changes to policies under the Services Agreement during the second half of 2019, have had a negative impact on the historical and expected future results of operations of the Desktop business.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company reassessed the fair values of the Desktop reporting unit and the related indefinite-lived intangible assets and recorded impairments equal to the remaining carrying value of the goodwill of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the intangible assets. The reduction in the Company’s fair value estimates is due to lower consumer queries, increasing challenges in monetization and the reduced ability to market profitably due to policy changes implemented by Google and other browsers. The effects of COVID-19 on monetization were an additional factor.

NM = Not meaningful.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020:
• | Revenue increased $83.0 million, or 12%, to $788.4 million, due to increases of $57.4 million from Emerging & Other, resulting primarily from the contribution from Care.com, acquired February 11, 2020, $32.6 million from ANGI, $23.0 million from Vimeo and $10.5 million from Dotdash, partially offset by a decrease of $40.5 million from Search. |
• | Operating income decreased $142.5 million to a loss of $128.6 million due primarily to a goodwill impairment of $53.2 million and $10.8 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments at Search related to the Desktop business, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million, described below, and an increase of $26.8 million in amortization of intangibles, excluding the $10.8 million Desktop impairment noted above, the inclusion in 2019 of income of $16.1 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, and increases of $7.1 million in stock-based compensation expense and $3.7 million in depreciation. The overall increase in amortization of intangibles of $37.6 million was due principally to an increase in amortization related to recent acquisitions, the inclusion in 2020 of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $10.8 million related to the Desktop business, and a reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets. The goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments are described above in "Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement").” The income from acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments in 2019 was due to the decrease in the expected amount of contingent consideration to be paid in connection with a previous acquisition. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period and the reversal in the third quarter of 2019 of $7.6 million of expense related to certain performance-based awards that did not vest, partially offset by the vesting of awards. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to the investments in capitalized software to support ANGI's products and services and leasehold improvements related to additional office space at ANGI. |
47
• | Adjusted EBITDA decreased $24.7 million to $35.2 million due to reduced profits of $20.4 million and $17.3 million from ANGI and Search, respectively, and increased losses of $4.8 million and $2.8 million from Corporate and Emerging & Other, respectively, partially offset by reduced losses of $11.4 million from Vimeo and growth of $9.2 million from Dotdash. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
• | Revenue increased $163.6 million, or 8%, to $2.2 billion, due to increases of $118.8 million from Emerging & Other resulting primarily from the contribution from Care.com, acquired February 11, 2020, $103.9 million from ANGI, $58.0 million from Vimeo and $27.5 million from Dotdash, partially offset by a decrease of $144.7 million from Search. |
• | Operating loss increased $513.9 million to a loss of $548.0 million due primarily to a goodwill impairment of $265.2 million and $32.2 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments at Search related to the Desktop business, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $109.1 million, described below, and increases of $53.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, $35.9 million in amortization of intangibles, excluding the $32.2 million Desktop impairment noted above, $11.8 million in depreciation and a change of $6.1 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments (income of $6.9 million in 2020 compared to income of $13.0 million in 2019). The overall increase in amortization of intangibles of $68.1 million was due principally to the inclusion in 2020 of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $32.2 million related to the Desktop business, an increase in amortization related to recent acquisitions and a reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets. The goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments are described below in "COVID-19 Update and Impairments". The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to a modification charge of $55.6 million related to the Separation and the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period, partially offset by the vesting of awards. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to the investments in capitalized software to support ANGI's products and services and leasehold improvements related to additional office space at ANGI. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA decreased $109.1 million to $41.9 million due primarily to reduced profits of $67.5 million and $16.7 million from Search and ANGI, respectively, and increased losses of $54.6 million and $4.0 million from Corporate and Emerging & Other, respectively, partially offset by reduced losses of $21.0 million from Vimeo and growth of $12.8 million from Dotdash. The increased losses at Corporate are due primarily to $25.0 million related to the IAC Fellows Foundation endowment and an increase of $18.2 million in costs related to the Separation. |

COVID-19 Update and Impairments
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 outbreak, which has been declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization, has been varied. The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the speed of contagion, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to the operating environment in which we do business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the virus continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for the Company’s various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited will be the Company’s ability to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues.
In March 2020, the Company's ANGI Homeservices business experienced a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). In the second quarter of 2020, ANGI Homeservices experienced a rebound in service requests, exceeding pre-COVID-19 growth levels, driven by increased demand from homeowners who spent more time at home due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. ANGI Homeservices continued to experience strong demand for home services in the third quarter of 2020. However, many service professionals' businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted ANGI Homeservices' ability to monetize this increased level of service requests. Vimeo has seen strong revenue growth as the demand for communication via video has increased due to the pandemic. The Search segment has experienced a decline in revenue due, in part, to the decrease in advertising rates due to the impact of COVID-19, which decrease in rates was more significant earlier in the year.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the effects of COVID-19 were an indicator of possible impairment for certain of its assets and identified the following impairments:
• | a $212.0 million impairment related to the goodwill of the Desktop reporting unit; |
• | a $21.4 million impairment related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Desktop reporting unit; |
• | a $51.5 million impairment of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values; and |
• | a $7.5 million impairment of a note receivable and a warrant related to certain investees. |
There were no impairments identified during the second quarter of 2020.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairments of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, of the Desktop reporting unit. Refer to "Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google" for additional information.
In addition, the United States, which represents 81% and 80% of the Company's revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, has experienced a significant resurgence of the COVID-19 virus with record levels of infection being reported in the weeks following September 30, 2020. Europe, which is the second largest market for the Company's products and services, has also seen a dramatic resurgence in COVID-19. This resurgence and the measures designed to curb its spread could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019
• | ANGI revenue increased 9% to $389.9 million driven principally by Marketplace Revenue growth of $33.2 million, or 12%, partially offset by a decline of $0.5 million, or 3%, at the European businesses. The increase in Marketplace Revenue was due primarily to an increase of 8% in Marketplace Monetized Transactions to 4.7 million, driven by an increase of 29% in Marketplace Service Requests to 9.8 million, and an increase in revenue of $20.8 million due to the change to gross revenue reporting for Handy and HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering, effective January 1, 2020. The revenue decline at the European businesses was due primarily to lower monetization from transitioning the business in France to a common European technology platform with the businesses in the Netherlands and Italy, which began in early February 2020, partially offset by the favorable impact of the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound. |
• | Vimeo revenue grew 44% to $75.1 million due to Platform Revenue growth of $23.0 million, or 44%. Platform Revenue growth was driven by a 22% increase in average revenue per subscriber and a 21% increase in Vimeo Ending Subscribers to nearly 1.5 million as enterprises and organizations move to deliver their products and communicate via video with their customers due to the effects of COVID-19. |
• | Dotdash revenue increased 26% to $50.8 million due to growth of 70% in Performance Marketing Revenue and 9% in Display Advertising Revenue. The growth in Performance Marketing Revenue was due primarily to growth in both affiliate commerce commission revenue and performance marketing commission revenue due to increased online sales as a result of COVID-19. The increase in Display Advertising Revenue was driven by an increase in advertising sold through our sales team. |
• | Search revenue decreased 22% to $145.2 million due to decreases of $32.6 million, or 44%, from Desktop and $7.9 million, or 7%, from Ask Media Group. The decrease in Desktop revenue was driven by lower queries and monetization challenges following browser policy changes and a decrease in advertising rates due to the impact of COVID-19. The decrease in Ask Media Group is primarily due to a decrease in advertising rates due to the impact of COVID-19. |
• | Emerging & Other revenue increased 82% to $127.4 million due principally to the contribution of Care.com, acquired February 11, 2020. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
• | ANGI revenue increased 10% to $1.1 billion driven by Marketplace Revenue growth of $103.4 million, or 14%, and an increase of $4.8 million, or 3%, in Advertising & Other Revenue, partially offset by a decline of $4.3 million, or 7%, at the European businesses. The increase in Marketplace Revenue was due primarily to an increase of 4% in Marketplace Monetized Transactions to 12.8 million, driven by an increase of 18% in Marketplace Service Requests to 25.2 million, and an increase in revenue of $51.3 million due to the change to gross revenue reporting for Handy and HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering, effective January 1, 2020. Advertising & Other Revenue increased due primarily to an increase in Angie's List revenue driven by an increase in Advertising SPs. The revenue decline at the European businesses was due primarily to the impact of COVID-19 and lower monetization from transitioning the business in France to a common European technology platform with the businesses in the Netherlands and Italy, which began in early February 2020. |
50
• | Vimeo revenue grew 41% to $199.4 million due to Platform Revenue growth of $60.3 million, or 43%. Platform Revenue growth was driven by the factors described above in the three-month discussion and from the contribution of Magisto (acquired May 28, 2019). Revenue in 2019 included $2.3 million from the hardware business, which was sold in the first quarter of 2019. |
• | Dotdash revenue increased 25% to $139.5 million due to growth of 84% in Performance Marketing Revenue and 5% higher Display Advertising Revenue. The growth in Performance Marketing Revenue was due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion. The higher Display Advertising Revenue was due to an increase in advertising sold through our sales team, partially offset by the impact of COVID-19. |
• | Search revenue decreased 25% to $430.9 million due primarily to decreases of $116.1 million, or 45%, from Desktop and $28.6 million, or 9%, from Ask Media Group. The decreases in Desktop and Ask Media Group revenue were driven by the factors described above in the three-month discussion. |
• | Emerging & Other revenue increased 59% to $320.6 million due primarily to the contributions of Care.com, acquired February 11, 2020, and Nursefly, acquired June 26, 2019, and an increase in revenue at Mosaic, partially offset by lower revenue at Bluecrew and IAC Films and the sale of College Humor Media during the first quarter of 2020. |

Selling and marketing expense in 2020 increased from 2019 due to increases of $25.3 million from Emerging & Other, $14.6 million from ANGI and $5.2 million from Vimeo, partially offset by a decrease of $15.3 million from Search.
• | The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $18.6 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com and an increase of $8.1 million in advertising expense at Mosaic, partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in compensation at College Humor Media due to its sale during the first quarter of 2020. |
• | The ANGI increase was due primarily to increases of $7.2 million in advertising expense and $6.1 million in compensation expense. While service requests from both Google paid traffic and free traffic increased, advertising expense increased due primarily to an increase in online marketing costs as the proportion of service requests from Google paid traffic increased. ANGI continues to benefit from the search engine marketing strategy that was implemented in the second half of 2019, which focuses on the lifetime profitability of rather than cost per service request. This increase in online marketing was partially offset by a decrease in television spend resulting from cost cutting initiatives due to the impact of COVID-19. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to increased commission expense to the sales force resulting from higher revenue. |
• | The Vimeo increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $2.6 million, due, in part, to growth in the sales force and increased commission expense resulting from growth in bookings due to COVID-19, and marketing of $1.9 million. |
• | The Search decrease was due primarily to a decrease in marketing of $14.9 million principally at Desktop as we mitigate the negative impact on revenue from the browser policy changes and COVID-19. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
Selling and marketing expense in 2020 increased from 2019 due to increases of $42.5 million from Emerging & Other, $23.1 million from ANGI, $14.2 million from Vimeo and $4.6 million from Dotdash, partially offset by a decrease of $55.9 million from Search.
52
• | The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $39.8 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com and an increase of $5.9 million in advertising expense at Mosaic due to an increase in online marketing, partailly offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in compensation at College Humor Media due to its sale during the first quarter of 2020. |
• | The ANGI increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $16.5 million, outsourced personnel costs of $4.4 million, advertising expense of $2.9 million and facility costs of $1.4 million, partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in travel related expenses resulting from the impact of COVID-19.

The increase in outsourced personnel costs was due primarily to various sales initiatives at Handy. The increase in advertising expense was due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion. |
• | The Vimeo increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $9.8 million, due, in part, to growth in the sales force and increased commission expense resulting from growth in bookings due to COVID-19, marketing of $1.5 million and software license and maintenance costs of $1.3 million. |
• | The Dotdash increase was due primarily to an increase in compensation expense of $5.7 million, due, in part, to growth in the sales force, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in travel related expenses resulting from the impact of COVID-19. |

General and administrative expense in 2020 increased from 2019 due to increases of $22.2 million from Emerging & Other, $7.8 million from ANGI and $5.6 million from Corporate.
• | The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to the inclusion in 2019 of income of $16.1 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments and $8.3 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million at College Humor Media due to its sale during the first quarter of 2020. The income from acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments in 2019 is due to the decrease in the expected amount of contingent consideration to be paid in connection with a previous acquisition. |
• | The ANGI increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $6.0 million, bad debt expense of $3.6 million due to higher Marketplace Revenue, and $1.2 million in outsourced personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in travel related expenses resulting from the impact of COVID-19. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense and severance costs recorded in the European business in the third quarter of 2020 associated with headcount reductions in France. The increase in stock-based compensation expense is due primarily to the issuance of new equity awards since 2019 and the reversal in the third quarter of 2019 of $7.3 million of expense related to certain performance-based awards that did not vest, partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million in the modification charge related to the Combination. The increase in outsourced personnel costs is due primarily to an increase in call volume related to our customer service function. |
• | The Corporate increase was due primarily to an increase of $5.7 million in compensation expense driven primarily by increased employer taxes related to Match Group stock option exercises by IAC employees during the third quarter of 2020. |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
General and administrative expense in 2020 increased from 2019 due to increases of $99.1 million from Corporate, $24.9 million from Emerging & Other and $15.3 million from ANGI.
• | The Corporate increase was due primarily to an increase of $42.6 million in stock-based compensation expense, $25.0 million related to the IAC Fellows Foundation endowment and higher professional fees, including an increase of $18.2 million in costs related to the Separation. The increase in stock-based compensation is due primarily to a $54.7 million modification charge related to the Separation and the issuance of new equity awards since 2019, partially offset by the vesting of awards. |
• | The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $24.9 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com. |
• | The ANGI increase was due primarily to an increase of $10.8 million in bad debt expense, $7.9 million in compensation expense and $3.4 in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in travel related expenses resulting from the impact of COVID-19, $1.9 million in software license and maintenance costs and $1.2 million in non-payroll taxes. The increase in bad debt is due to higher Marketplace Revenue, the impact from COVID-19 on expected credit losses and anticipated losses from Angie’s List service professionals under contract for advertising. The increase in compensation expense is due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion and severance costs recorded in the European business in the third quarter of 2020 associated with headcount reductions in France. The increase in professional fees is due primarily to an increase in legal fees. The decrease in non-payroll taxes is due, in part, to a decrease in property taxes in North America and the digital services tax in Europe. |

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019
Operating income decreased $142.5 million to a loss of $128.6 million due primarily to a goodwill impairment of $53.2 million and $10.8 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments at Search related to the Desktop business, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million, described below, and an increase of $26.8 million in amortization of intangibles, excluding the $10.8 million Desktop impairment noted above, the inclusion in 2019 of income of $16.1 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, and increases of $7.1 million in stock-based compensation expense and $3.7 million in depreciation. The overall increase in amortization of intangibles of $37.6 million was due principally to an increase in amortization related to recent acquisitions, the inclusion in 2020 of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $10.8 million related to the Desktop business, and a reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets. The goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments are described above in "Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement").” The income from acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments in 2019 is due to the decrease in the expected amount of contingent consideration to be paid in connection with a previous acquisition. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period and the reversal in the third quarter of 2019 of $7.6 million of expense related to certain performance-based awards that did not vest, partially offset by the vesting of awards. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to investments in capitalized software to support ANGI's products and leasehold improvements related to additional office space at ANGI.
55
At September 30, 2020, there was $197.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
Operating loss increased $513.9 million to a loss of $548.0 million due primarily to a goodwill impairment of $265.2 million and $32.2 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments at Search related to the Desktop business, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $109.1 million, described below, and increases of $53.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, $35.9 million in amortization of intangibles, excluding the $32.2 million Desktop impairment noted above, $11.8 million in depreciation and a change of $6.1 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments (income of $6.9 million in 2020 compared to income of $13.0 million in 2019). The overall increase in amortization of intangibles of $68.1 million was due principally to the inclusion in 2020 of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $32.2 million related to the Desktop business, an increase in amortization related to recent acquisitions and a reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets. The goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments are described above in "COVID-19 Update and Impairments". The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to a modification charge of $55.6 million related to the Separation and the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period, partially offset by the vesting of awards. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to investments in capitalized software to support ANGI's products and services and leasehold improvements related to additional office space at ANGI.
See "Note 4—Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the financial statements included in "Item 1. Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements" for a detailed description of the Desktop goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments.
The aggregate carrying value of goodwill for which the most recent estimate of the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20% is approximately $655.0 million. The aggregate carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets for which the most recent estimate of the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20% is approximately $59.3 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019
• ANGI Adjusted EBITDA decreased 35% to $38.5 million, despite higher revenue due primarily to an increase in cost of revenue, increased investment in fixed price, an increase in compensation expense due, in part, to severance costs recorded in the European business in the third quarter of 2020 associated with headcount reductions in France and an increase of $3.6 million in bad debt expense due to higher Marketplace Revenue.
56
• Vimeo Adjusted EBITDA increased $11.4 million to $3.4 million from a loss of $8.0 million due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense due primarily to an increase in headcount and increases of $2.6 million in credit card processing fees and $1.9 million in marketing.
• Dotdash Adjusted EBITDA increased 130% to $16.2 million due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense.
• Search Adjusted EBITDA decreased 59% to $11.9 million due to a decrease in revenue, partially offset by a decrease in marketing of $14.9 million as we mitigate the negative impact on revenue from the browser policy changes and COVID-19, and lower traffic acquisition costs of $7.4 million.
• Emerging & Other Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $2.8 million to $8.1 million due primarily to $5.0 million in transaction-related items from the Care.com acquisition (including $2.6 million in transaction-related costs and $2.4 million in deferred revenue write-offs), losses at Nursefly and reduced profits from Mosaic, partially offset by lower losses at College Humor Media due to its sale during the first quarter of 2020.
• Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss increased 22% to $26.7 million due primarily to an increase of in compensation expense driven primarily by increased employer taxes related to Match Group stock option exercises by IAC employees during the third quarter of 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019
• ANGI Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11% to $130.8 million, despite higher revenue due primarily to an increase in cost of revenue, an increase of $10.5 million in bad debt expense due to higher Marketplace Revenue, the impact from COVID-19 on expected credit losses and anticipated losses on Angie’s List service professionals under contract for advertising and increased European losses.
• Vimeo Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased 62% to $12.7 million due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense due to the factors described above in the three-month discussion and including expense from the inclusion of Magisto (acquired May 28, 2019).
• Dotdash Adjusted EBITDA increased 57% to $35.3 million due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense, an increase in expense for third-party contractors and an increase in bad debt expense due, in part, to the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.
• Search Adjusted EBITDA decreased 66% to $34.4 million due to a decrease in revenue, partially offset by a decrease in marketing of $53.4 million as we mitigate the negative impact on revenue from the browser policy changes and COVID-19 at both Desktop and Ask Media Group and lower traffic acquisition costs of $20.3 million.
• Emerging & Other Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $4.0 million to $30.6 million due primarily to $25.3 million in transaction-related items from the Care.com acquisition (including $15.7 million in deferred revenue write-offs and $9.6 million in transaction-related costs), losses in the current year compared to profits in the prior year at IAC Films, losses at Nursefly and increased losses at Bluecrew, partially offset by lower losses at College Humor Media due to its sale during the first quarter of 2020 and increased profits from Mosaic.
• Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss increased 90% to $115.3 million due primarily to $25.0 million related to the IAC Fellows Foundation endowment, higher professional fees, including an increase of $18.2 million in costs related to the Separation and an increase of in compensation expense due to the factor described above in the three-month discussion.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of 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. This non-GAAP measure 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. The Company endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
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 these expenses.
The following table reconciles net earnings (loss) attributable to IAC shareholders to operating (loss) income to consolidated and combined Adjusted EBITDA:

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company and expense related to awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans. 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. The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis and remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.
60
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our building, capitalized software, leasehold improvements 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. 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 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 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.

Cash Flow Information
In summary, IAC's cash flows are as follows:

Investing activities | $ | (1,828,298 | ) | $ | (529,223 | ) | ||
Financing activities | $ | 4,304,883 | $ | 139,237 |
Net cash provided by operating activities consists of earnings adjusted for non-cash items, the effect of changes in working capital and acquisition-related contingent consideration payments (to the extent greater than the liability initially recognized at the time of acquisition). Non-cash adjustments include goodwill impairments, stock-based compensation expense, net gains on equity securities, amortization of intangibles, deferred income taxes, provision for credit losses, and depreciation.
62
2020
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of a $265.1 million goodwill impairment, $148.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $132.2 million of amortization of intangibles, including impairments of $32.2 million, $62.6 million of provision for credit losses, and $50.8 million of depreciation, partially offset by $215.9 million of gains on equity securities, net of $51.5 million of impairments of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values, and $82.9 million of deferred income taxes. The increase from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in deferred revenue of $78.0 million and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $50.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $91.5 million and an increase in other assets of $5.7 million. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at Vimeo and Care.com. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to accrued advertising and related payables at ANGI, and accrued compensation costs due, in part, to the deferral of payroll tax payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth at ANGI, Vimeo, and Care.com, and timing of cash receipts at Mosaic Group. The increase in other assets is due, in part, to capitalized production costs of various production deals at IAC Films, partially offset by a decrease in capitalized downloadable search toolbar costs at Search.
Net cash used in investing activities includes cash used for investments and acquisitions of $1.5 billion, principally related to the investment in MGM of $1.0 billion for the purchase of 59.0 million shares and acquisitions principally related to the Care.com acquisition, purchases (net of maturities) of marketable debt securities of $299.9 million, and capital expenditures of $41.7 million, primarily related to investments in capitalized software at ANGI to support their products and services, and leasehold improvements, partially offset by a decrease in notes receivable—related party of $54.8 million and proceeds from the sale of businesses and investments of $17.9 million, principally related to the sales of Dictionary and Electus in 2018.
Net cash provided by financing activities includes transfers of $1.7 billion from Old IAC to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Separation and cash merger consideration of $837.9 million paid by Old IAC in connection with the Separation, $1.4 billion of proceeds related to the sale of Old IAC Class M common stock, and $500.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the ANGI Group Senior Notes, partially offset by $54.4 million for the repurchase of 7.7 million shares of ANGI Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $7.02 per share, $50.0 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of ANGI employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $24.0 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $10.3 million in principal payments on the ANGI Term Loan, $5.6 million for debt issuance costs, and $4.3 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests.
2019
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of $94.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $64.1 million of amortization of intangibles, $50.5 million of provision of credit losses, and $39.0 million of depreciation, partially offset by $56.7 million of deferred income taxes, and $26.1 million of gains on equity securities. The deferred income tax benefit primarily relates to the net operating loss created by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $64.9 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $30.5 million and a decrease in other assets of $11.4 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth at ANGI and timing of cash receipts at Mosaic Group, including cash received in the fourth quarter of 2018 rather than in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at Vimeo and Mosaic Group. The decrease in other assets is primarily due to a receipt of tenant improvement allowances at ANGI.
Net cash used by investing activities includes cash used for investments and acquisitions of $446.7 million, principally related to the investment in Turo and acquisitions of Magisto and Fixd Repair, and capital expenditures of $73.6 million, primarily related to investments in capitalized software at ANGI to support their products and services, leasehold improvements at ANGI, and the payment of a deposit for an ownership interest in an aircraft at Corporate, and an increase in notes receivable—related party of $55.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities of $25.0 million, and net proceeds from the sale of businesses and investments of $24.5 million, principally related to the sale of Felix on December 31, 2018.
Net cash used by financing activities includes cash transfers of $225.5 million from Old IAC pursuant to Old IAC's centrally managed U.S. treasury function, in which the Company participated for periods prior to the Separation, partially offset by $34.0 million for the repurchase of 4.1 million shares of ANGI Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $8.23 per share; $30.0 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of ANGI employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, and $10.3 million in principal payments on ANGI debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the Separation, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents, including the funding we received from Old IAC pursuant to its centrally managed U.S. treasury function, in which the Company participated.
The Company generated $168.0 million of operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of which $173.2 million was generated by ANGI. ANGI is a separate and distinct legal entity with its own public shareholders and board of directors and has no obligation to provide the Company with funds. As a result, the Company cannot freely access the cash of ANGI and its subsidiaries. In addition, the ANGI Group credit agreement contains covenants that would limit ANGI Group's ability to pay dividends or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or if ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the ANGI Group credit agreement) exceeds 4.25 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at September 30, 2020.
On August 20, 2020, ANGI Group issued $500 million of its ANGI Group Senior Notes due August 15, 2028, with interest payable February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2021. The proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions and return of capital.
On August 12, 2020, ANGI Group entered into a joinder agreement with ANGI, the other subsidiaries of ANGI that are party to the credit agreement, and each of the other loan parties to the credit agreement, pursuant to which ANGI Group became the successor borrower under the credit agreement and ANGI Homeservices Inc.'s obligations thereunder were terminated. The credit agreement governs the ANGI Group Term Loan and ANGI Group Revolving Facility. In addition, on August 12, 2020, the definition of "Permitted Unsecured Ratio Debt" in the credit agreement was amended to remove the requirement that guarantees of certain indebtedness of the borrower be subordinated to the guarantees under the credit agreement.
The $250 million ANGI Group Revolving Facility expires on November 5, 2023. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is currently 25 basis points and is based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported. Borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility bear interest, at ANGI Group's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is determined based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio.
The $250 million IAC Group Credit Facility, which was scheduled to expire on November 5, 2023, was terminated effective October 2, 2020. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility.
On June 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized repurchases up to 8.0 million shares of common stock, which is equal to the number of shares available under the repurchase authorization at Old IAC immediately prior to the Separation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ANGI repurchased 7.6 million shares of its Class A common stock, on a trade date basis, at an average price of $7.00 per share, or $53.4 million in aggregate. At September 30, 2020, ANGI has 20.1 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
IAC and ANGI may purchase their shares over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.
The Company has granted stock settled stock appreciation rights to employees and management of certain of its non-publicly traded subsidiaries that are denominated in the equity of those subsidiaries. These equity awards are settled on a net basis, with the award holder entitled to receive IAC shares equal to the intrinsic value of the award upon settlement less an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment, which will be paid by the Company. The aggregate intrinsic value of these awards outstanding at October 30, 2020 is $43.3 million; assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be payable are $21.6 million, assuming a 50% withholding rate, and the Company would have issued 0.2 million common shares. The number of IAC 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 IAC shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the Company's stock price.
64
ANGI currently settles all equity awards on a net basis. Certain previously issued stock appreciation rights are settleable in either shares of ANGI Class A common stock or shares of IAC common stock at IAC's option, these awards are currently being settled in shares of ANGI. The aggregate intrinsic value of these awards outstanding at October 30, 2020 is $77.2 million, assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be payable are $38.6 million, assuming a 50% withholding rate, and ANGI would have issued 3.6 million shares of its Class A common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of all other ANGI equity awards, including stock options, RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity at October 30, 2020 is $135.4 million; assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be payable are $67.7 million, assuming a 50% withholding rate, and ANGI would have issued 6.4 million shares of its Class A common stock.
In connection with the Separation, Old IAC denominated stock options were converted into stock options to purchase IAC common stock and stock options to purchase New Match common stock in a manner that preserved the spread value of the stock options immediately before and immediately after the adjustment, with the allocation between the two stock options based on the value of a share of IAC common stock relative to the value of a share of New Match common stock multiplied by the transaction exchange ratio of 2.1584. Assuming all IAC stock options outstanding on October 30, 2020 were net settled on that date, withholding taxes, which would be paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon exercise, would have been $222.6 million in aggregate assuming a 50% withholding rate.
In connection with the Separation, Old IAC's RSUs were converted into IAC RSUs in a manner that preserved their fair value. RSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock. These equity awards are settled on a net basis, with the award holder entitled to receive IAC shares equal to the fair value of the award upon settlement less an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment, which will be paid by the Company. The number of IAC common shares that would be required to net settle RSUs outstanding at October 30, 2020 is 0.6 million shares. In addition, withholding taxes, which will be paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon vest, would have been $70.4 million at October 30, 2020, assuming a 50% withholding rate.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company's economic interest and voting interest in ANGI is 84.5% and 98.2%, respectively. The Company intends to take steps if necessary to maintain an economic interest in ANGI of at least 80%.
The Company's international cash can be repatriated without significant tax consequences.
The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company's 2020 capital expenditures are expected to be lower than 2019 capital expenditures of $97.9 million by approximately 30% to 35%, due to timing of payments related to the purchase of a 50% interest in an aircraft at Corporate and lower leasehold improvements at ANGI. The remaining payment of $13.3 million related to the purchase of the 50% interest in an aircraft is expected to be made in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, and expected positive cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and investing and other commitments for the foreseeable future. The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services due to COVID-19 or other factors. As described in the "COVID-19 Update" section above, to date, the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread have had an impact on certain of the Company's businesses. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak have adverse impacts on economic conditions generally, the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's capital structure could limit its ability to: (i) obtain additional financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service or other requirements; and (ii) use operating cash flow to make acquisitions or capital expenditures, or invest in other areas, such as developing business opportunities. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing could also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets caused by COVID-19 or otherwise. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
At September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the Company's instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 5, 2020, other than the issuance of the ANGI Group Senior Notes on August 20, 2020, which increased the Company's exposure to interest rate risk.
If market interest rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments of the ANGI Group Senior Notes will exceed those based on market rates. A 100-basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the fixed-rate debt by $33.4 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including an immediate increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. The outstanding balance of $237.2 million on the ANGI Group Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. As of September 30, 2020, the rate in effect was 1.66%. If LIBOR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, then the annual interest expense on the ANGI Group Term Loan would increase or decrease by $2.4 million. The decline in interest rates in 2020 relative to 2019 has reduced the Company's interest expense by approximately $1.3 million and $3.1 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
67
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, IAC and its subsidiaries may become parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to IAC's stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters may be material to IAC's financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation against IAC and MTCH
On August 14, 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group, LLC or Tinder, Inc. ("Tinder"), an operating business of Match Group, filed a lawsuit in New York state court against IAC and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme Court, New York County). The complaint alleges that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by certain investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their Tinder stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Match Group, thereby depriving the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand-alone basis. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, interference with contractual relations (as against Match Group only), and interference with prospective economic advantage, and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. On August 31, 2018, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs.
On October 9, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, including that the 2017 valuation of Tinder by the investment banks was an expert determination any challenge to which is both time-barred under applicable law and available only on narrow substantive grounds that the plaintiffs have not pleaded in their complaint; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On June 13, 2019, the court issued a decision and order: (i) granting the motion to dismiss the claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for unjust enrichment, (ii) granting the motion to dismiss the merger-related claim for breach of contract as to two of the remaining six plaintiffs, and (iii) otherwise denying the motion to dismiss. On June 21, 2019, the defendants filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s partial denial of their motion to dismiss, and the parties thereafter briefed the appeal. On October 29, 2019, the Appellate Division, First Department, issued an order affirming the lower court’s decision. On November 22, 2019, the defendants filed a motion for reargument or, in the alternative, leave to appeal the Appellate Division’s order to the New York Court of Appeals; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On May 21, 2020, the Appellate Division issued an order: (i) granting the defendants’ motion for reargument, vacating its prior decision, and replacing it with a new decision that affirmed the lower court’s decision on different grounds, and (ii) denying the defendants’ motion for leave to appeal the initial (and now vacated) decision to the Court of Appeals, without prejudice to the defendants’ filing a motion for leave to appeal the new decision to the Court of Appeals. On June 5, 2020, the defendants filed a motion for leave to appeal the Appellate Division's May 21 decision to the Court of Appeals; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On July 24, 2020, the Appellate Division issued an order denying the motion.
On June 3, 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss based upon certain provisions of the plaintiffs’ agreement with a litigation funding firm; the plaintiffs opposed the motion, which remains pending. On July 15, 2019, the defendants filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint, as well as counterclaims against Sean Rad for breach of contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged misappropriation of confidential company information. On September 13, 2019, the defendants filed an amended answer and counterclaims, adding claims based on Rad's alleged unauthorized recording of conversations with company employees. On November 21, 2019, the defendants filed a second amended answer and counterclaims, adding claims based on Rad’s alleged unauthorized destruction of company information and breach of his non-solicitation obligations. On January 30, 2020, the parties participated in a mediation that did not result in the resolution of the matter.
69
Document discovery in the case is substantially complete; deposition discovery, which had been on hiatus in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, is in progress. On July 12, 2020, the four individuals who earlier had discontinued their claims in the lawsuit commenced separate arbitration proceedings against IAC and Match Group before the American Arbitration Association in California, asserting the same claims and seeking the same relief as the six remaining plaintiffs in the lawsuit. On September 14, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to stay the trial in the New York action in favor of the California arbitration proceedings; the plaintiffs opposed the motion, which remains pending. IAC believes that the allegations in this lawsuit and the arbitrations are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (as defined in Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General-Separation), Match Group has agreed to indemnify the Company for matters relating to any business of Match Group, including indemnifying the Company for costs related to the matter described above.
Shareholder Litigation Arising Out of the Separation of Match Group from IAC
On June 24, 2020, a shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in Delaware state court against then IAC/InterActiveCorp (now Match Group, Inc.), then IAC Holdings, Inc. (now IAC/InterActiveCorp), IAC’s Chairman and Senior Executive Barry Diller, former Match Group (as a nominal defendant only), and the ten members of former Match Group’s Board of Directors at the time of the Separation (as defined in Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General-Separation), challenging, on behalf of a putative class of then Match Group public shareholders, the agreed-upon terms of the Separation. See David Newman v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al., No. 2020-0505 (Delaware Chancery Court). The gravamen of the complaint is that the terms of the Separation are unfair to former Match Group and unduly beneficial to IAC as a result of undue influence by IAC and Mr. Diller over the then Match Group directors who unanimously approved the transaction. The complaint asserts direct and derivative claims: (i) for breach of fiduciary duty against IAC and Mr. Diller as former Match Group’s controlling shareholders, (ii) for breach of fiduciary duty against the Match Group directors who unanimously approved the Separation, (iii) for breach of contract (i.e., a provision of former Match Group’s charter), (iv) for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (v) for tortious interference with contract against IAC. The complaint seeks various declarations and damages in an unspecified amount. On September 24, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. IAC believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: IAC’s future financial performance, IAC’s business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which IAC’s businesses operate and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on IAC management’s expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this quarterly report, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

70
Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in our filings with the SEC, including under the caption "Risks Relating to New IAC's Business Following the Separation" in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-236420), as amended, and Part II-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and operating results may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of IAC management as of the date of this quarterly report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factor relating to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our businesses and other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under the caption "Risks Relating to New IAC's Business Following the Separation" in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-236420), as amended, and Part II-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, which could materially and adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and/or operating results.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and other similar outbreaks could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.
IAC's business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of a widespread health epidemic or pandemic, including the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization. To date, the outbreak of COVID-19 has caused a widespread global health crisis, and governments in affected regions have implemented measures designed to curb the spread of the virus, such as social distancing, government-imposed quarantines and lockdowns, travel bans and other public health safety measures. These measures have resulted in significant social disruption and have had (and are likely to continue to have) an adverse effect on economic conditions generally, on advertising expenditures across traditional and digital advertising channels, and on consumer confidence and spending, all of which could have an adverse effect on IAC's businesses, financial condition and results of operations.
To date, the impact on IAC's businesses has varied from business to business and from quarter to quarter. For example, in March 2020, IAC's ANGI Homeservices business experienced a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). In the second quarter of 2020, ANGI Homeservices experienced a rebound in service requests, exceeding pre-COVID-19 growth levels, driven by increased demand from homeowners who spent more time at home due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. ANGI Homeservices continued to experience strong demand for home services in the third quarter of 2020. However, many ANGI Homeservices service professionals' businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted the ability of ANGI Homeservices to monetize this increased level of service requests. While IAC's Vimeo business has seen strong revenue growth as the demand for communication via video has increased due to the pandemic, the Search segment has experienced a decline in revenue due, in part, to decreased advertising rates due to the impact of COVID-19, which decrease in rates was more significant earlier in the year, and in the third quarter of 2020, IAC recorded impairments of $53.2 million and $10.8 million related to the goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, of its Desktop reporting unit, with the effects of COVID-19 on monetization being a contributing factor. See Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General-COVID 19 Updates and Impairments. Also, the United States, which represents 81% and 80% of the Company's revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, has experienced a significant resurgence of COVID-19 with record levels of infection being reported in the weeks following the end of the third quarter of 2020. Lastly, Europe, which is the second largest market for IAC products and services, has also seen a dramatic resurgence of COVID-19. These resurgences and the measures designed to curb their spread could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
71
In addition, in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and government-imposed measures to control its spread, the ability of IAC to conduct ordinary course business activities has been (and may continue to be) impaired for an indefinite period of time. For example, IAC has taken several precautions that could adversely impact employee productivity, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions and temporarily closing office locations. IAC may also experience increased operating costs as it gradually resumes normal operations and enhances preventative measures, including with respect to real estate, compliance and insurance-related expenses. Moreover, IAC may also experience business disruption if the ordinary course operations of its contractors, vendors or business partners are adversely affected. Any of these measures or impairments could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The extent to which developments related to COVID-19 and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond IAC's control, including the speed of contagion, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to the operating environment in which IAC does business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to COVID-19. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of COVID-19 continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for IAC's various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited IAC's ability will be to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues.
The COVID-19 outbreak may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under the caption "Risks Relating to New IAC's Business Following the Separation" in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-236420), as amended, and Part II-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020. IAC will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, because COVID-19 did not begin to impact our results until late in the first quarter of 2020, any current or future impacts may not be directly comparable to any historical periods and are not necessarily indicative of any future impacts that COVID-19may have on our results for the remainder of 2020 or any subsequent periods. The impact of COVID-19 on our revenues and expenses may also fluctuate differently over the duration of the pandemic.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The Company did not issue or sell any shares of its common stock or any other equity securities pursuant to unregistered transactions during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. As of that date, 8,036,226 shares of IAC common stock remained available for repurchase under the Company's previously announced June 2020 repurchase authorization. The Company may repurchase shares pursuant to this repurchase authorization over an indefinite period of time in 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.
