Q4 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
| · | On December 1, 2021, Dotdash completed the acquisition of Meredith Holdings Corp. (“Meredith”), owner of brands such as PEOPLE, Better Home & Gardens, FOOD & WINE, Allrecipes, Southern Living, InStyle and REAL SIMPLE, in an all cash transaction at a purchase price of $2.7 billion. Q4 2021 and full year 2021 include December 2021 results of Meredith. |
| · | Dotdash Meredith revenue increased 240% year-over-year to $252 million, including $170 million from Meredith post acquisition. Dotdash standalone revenue increased 11%, the 19th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. |
| o | Pro Forma revenue was $645 million in Q4 2021 and Pro Forma Digital revenue was $304 million (up 2% year-over-year). Full year 2021 Pro Forma Digital revenue was $1 billion, up 24% year-over-year. |
| o | Operating loss of $30 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss of $7 million reflect transaction-related items of $73 million for associated with the acquisition of Meredith. |
| · | Angi Inc. revenue increased 16% year-over-year to $416 million, the 5th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. |
| o | Angi Services revenue was $113 million in Q4 2021, increasing 116% year-over-year and up over 100% for the 3rd straight quarter. Full year 2021 Angi Services revenue was $358 million, up 120% year-over-year. |
| o | Monetized Transactions increased 3% year-over-year to 4 million. |
| · | Emerging & Other revenue increased 42% to $211 million reflecting: |
| o | $87 million from Care.com, up 19% year-over-year. |
| o | 104% year-over-year growth from Bluecrew and Vivian Health on a combined basis. |
| · | IAC holds 59 million shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”). IAC’s Net earnings and EPS reflect increases or decreases in MGM’s share price in the quarter as unrealized gains and losses. As a result, Net earnings and EPS can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance. IAC’s stake in MGM was purchased for $1.0 billion in Q2 and Q3 2020 and is worth $2.6 billion as of February 14, 2022. In addition, IAC announced on February 14, 2022 it will purchase an additional 4.5 million shares at $45 per share for a total aggregate amount of $202.5 million. |

| o | $14.0 million higher amortization of intangibles and $4.2 million higher depreciation driven by the acquisition of Meredith |

Search
| · | Revenue increased 54% to $280.3 million due to a 74% increase at Ask Media Group as a result of higher and more efficient marketing driving increased visitors to ad supported search and content websites, partially offset by a 17% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business) |
| · | Operating income increased 114% to $34.3 million due primarily to 103% higher Adjusted EBITDA driven by the higher Ask Media Group revenue and lower Desktop marketing |
Emerging & Other

| o | IAC Films revenue increasing $33.1 million due primarily to The Tragedy of Macbeth and The Humans |
| o | Care.com revenue increasing 19% to $87.0 million |
| o | Growth from Bluecrew, Vivian Health and The Daily Beast |

| o | $9.3 million higher amortization of intangibles driven by Care.com |
Page 5 of 17
Corporate
| · | Operating loss decreased $14.2 million to $38.7 million due to: |
| o | $8.0 million lower Adjusted EBITDA losses due primarily to lower compensation costs and $2.2 million of transaction-related costs in connection with the spin-off of Vimeo in Q4 2020 |
| o | $6.6 million lower stock-based compensation expense due primarily to a decrease in modification charges in Q4 2021 compared to Q4 2020 |
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $10.2 million in Q4 2021 due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by non-deductible transaction-related items associated with the acquisition of Meredith. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $50.7 million in Q4 2020 for an effective tax rate of 9%, which is lower than the statutory rate due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards.
Free Cash Flow
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations increased $5.5 million to $118.9 million due primarily to higher Adjusted EBITDA although Free Cash Flow decreased $24.0 million to $28.7 million due to higher capital expenditures.

DILUTIVE SECURITIES
IAC has various dilutive securities. The table below details these securities as well as potential dilution at various stock prices (shares in millions; rounding differences may occur).

| Shares | Price | 2/11/22 | Dilution at: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Options | 2.9 | $ | 13.99 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.7 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Total Diluted Shares Outstanding | 88.4 | 88.4 | 88.4 | 88.5 | 88.5 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The dilutive securities presentation is calculated using the methods and assumptions described below, which are different from those used for GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury stock method.
The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise, and in the case of options, assuming no proceeds are received by the Company. Any required withholding taxes are paid in cash by the Company on behalf of the employees. In addition, the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the vesting or exercise of these awards is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares. Assuming all awards were settled on February 11, 2022, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $413.0 million (of which approximately 50% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before December 31, 2022) assuming a stock price of $133.36 and a 50% withholding rate. The table above assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used at December 31, 2021. The number of 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 shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.
Angi Inc. Equity Awards and the Treatment of the Related Dilutive Effect
Certain Angi Inc. equity awards can be settled either in IAC or Angi Inc. common shares at IAC’s election. For purposes of the dilution calculation above, these awards are assumed to be settled in shares of Angi Inc. common stock; therefore, no dilution from these awards is included.

IAC PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, both of which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which are included in this release. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations, less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account non-operational cash movements. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. For example, it does not take into account stock repurchases. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans and expense related to awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs 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; IAC remits the required tax-withholding amounts for net-settled awards from its current funds.
Please see page 8 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of February 11, 2022 and a description of the calculation methodology.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, 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 advertiser relationships, licensee relationships, trade names, technology, subscriber relationships, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base, memberships, 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.
