NEW YORK— May 9, 2022—IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) released its first quarter results today and separately posted a letter to shareholders from IAC CEO Joey Levin on the Investor Relations section of its website at ir.iac.com.

 

IAC SUMMARY RESULTS

($ in millions except per share amounts)

 

   Q1 2022   Q1 2021   Growth 
Revenue  $1,325.3   $786.6    68%
Operating loss   (108.8)   (7.2)   -1405%
Unrealized (loss) gain on investment in MGM   (187.3)   382.5    NM 
Net (loss) earnings   (235.8)   329.1    NM 
Diluted (loss) earnings per share   (2.72)   3.46    NM 
Adjusted EBITDA   7.7    47.1    -84%

 

See reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures beginning on page 13.

 

Q1 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Dotdash Meredith revenue increased 665% year-over-year to $500 million, benefitting from the Meredith acquisition.

 

oDigital revenue was $216 million and Print revenue was $290 million.

 

oOperating loss of $56 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9 million reflect $26.5 million of restructuring charges incurred and transaction-related items associated with the acquisition of Meredith incurred in Q1 2022.

 

·Angi Inc. revenue increased 13% year-over-year to $436 million, the 6th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

 

oAngi Services revenue was $113 million, increasing 107% year-over-year and up over 100% for the 4th straight quarter. Trailing twelve months Angi Services revenue was $416 million, up 126% period-over-period.

 

oMonetized Transactions were nearly 4 million and Transacting Service Professionals were 204,000.

 

·Emerging & Other revenue increased 9% to $167 million reflecting:

 

o$90 million from Care.com, up 17% year-over-year.

 

o84% year-over-year growth from Bluecrew and Vivian Health on a combined basis.

 

oOn April 26, 2022, Vivian Health completed a $60 million primary and secondary equity raise led by Thoma Bravo with participation from IAC and Collaborative Fund.

 

·IAC holds 63.5 million shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”). IAC’s Net (loss) earnings and Diluted (loss) earnings per share reflect decreases or increases in MGM’s share price in the quarter as unrealized losses and gains. As a result, Net (loss) earnings and Diluted (loss) earnings per share can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance. IAC’s stake in MGM was purchased for $1.2 billion in 2020 and Q1 2022 and is worth $2.4 billion as of May 6, 2022.

o3% Digital declines driven by:

 

§Lower traffic to our sites compared to prior year COVID traffic highs, impacting both Display Advertising and Performance Marketing revenue

 

§Multiple macro headwinds (e.g., Omicron, supply chain, Ukraine) impacting the display advertising environment

 

§Rolling out the Dotdash playbook on the Meredith properties including content remediation and reduced monetization

 

o9% Print declines driven by continued secular declines and the advertising headwinds referenced above

Please refer to the Angi Inc. Q1 2022 earnings release for further detail.

 

Search

 

·Revenue increased 23% to $223.4 million due to a 35% 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 21% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business)

 

·Operating income increased 36% to $25.1 million due primarily to 37% higher Adjusted EBITDA driven by the higher Ask Media Group revenue and lower Desktop marketing

 

 

Page 5 of 17

 

Emerging & Other

 

·Revenue increased 9% to $167.0 million reflecting:

 

oCare.com revenue increasing 17% to $90.1 million

 

oGrowth from Bluecrew and Vivian Health

 

o$7.2 million lower IAC Films revenue due to delivery of Val in Q1 2021

 

·Operating loss was $5.0 million as compared to income of $1.0 million in Q1 2021 reflecting:

 

o$11.0 million lower Adjusted EBITDA due primarily to lower profits at IAC Films, Mosaic Group and Care.com

 

o$5.0 million lower amortization of intangibles driven by Care.com

 

Corporate

 

·Operating loss decreased $6.2 million to $38.6 million due to:

 

o$2.7 million lower Adjusted EBITDA losses due primarily to $4.1 million of transaction-related costs in Q1 2021 in connection with the spin-off of Vimeo

 

o$3.9 million lower stock-based compensation expense due primarily to Dotdash Meredith stock-based compensation expense now recognized at Dotdash Meredith beginning in Q4 2021 (previously recognized at Corporate)

 

Other income, net

 

Q1 2022 Other income, net includes Dotdash Meredith’s pre-tax losses of $35.4 million in total related to Meredith’s funded pension plans in the U.K. and the U.S. The U.K. loss of $23.6 million primarily relates to the decline in the fair value of the U.K. pension plan’s assets exceeding the decline in plan liabilities in each case due to higher interest rates. The U.S. loss of $11.7 million was due to the decline in the fair value of plan assets.

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $70.5 million in Q1 2022 for an effective tax rate of 23%, which is higher than the statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, partially offset by the impact of stock-based awards. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $53.3 million in Q1 2021 for an effective tax rate of 14%, which is lower than the statutory rate due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by state taxes.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations decreased $39.3 million to $12.9 million and Free Cash Flow decreased $49.6 million to negative $17.6 million due to lower Adjusted EBITDA and 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).

 

       Avg.                     
       Exercise   As of     
   Shares   Price   5/6/22   Dilution at: 
Share Price            $77.16   $80.00   $85.00   $90.00   $95.00 
                                    
Absolute Shares as of 5/6/22   86.9         86.9    86.9    86.9    86.9    86.9 
                                    
Restricted stock, RSUs and non-publicy traded subsidiary denominated equity awards   4.9         0.5    0.5    0.5    0.5    0.5 
Options   2.9   $13.99    0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6 
Total Dilution             1.2    1.2    1.2    1.2    1.2 
% Dilution             1.3%   1.3%   1.3%   1.3%   1.3%
Total Diluted Shares Outstanding             88.0    88.0    88.0    88.0    88.0 

 

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 May 6, 2022, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $167.4 million (of which approximately 65% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before March 31, 2023) assuming a stock price of $77.16 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 March 31, 2022. 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 9 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of May 6, 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.
