NEW YORK— November 8, 2022—IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) released its third 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)

 

   Q3 2022   Q3 2021   Growth 
Revenue  $1,300.9   $924.1    41%
Operating loss   (124.7)   (32.1)   -289%
Unrealized gain on investment in MGM   42.5    29.5    44%
Net (loss) earnings   (63.8)   60.7    NM 
Diluted (loss) earnings per share   (0.74)   0.65    NM 
Adjusted EBITDA   54.8    30.2    81%

 

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

 

Q3 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Dotdash Meredith Digital revenue was $221 million and Print revenue was $251 million. Pro Forma revenue decreased 19% due to 13% Digital declines and 24% Print declines.

 

oOperating loss of $95 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $31 million in Q3 2022 reflect restructuring charges and transaction-related items associated with the acquisition of Meredith ($25 million impacting operating loss and $18 million impacting Adjusted EBITDA)

 

·Angi Inc. revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $498 million and operating loss improved to $11 million (compared to a loss of $15 million in Q3 2021) and Adjusted EBITDA increased 85% to $23 million.

 

oAngi Ads and Leads revenue increased 7% year-over-year, the second consecutive quarter of growth
oAngi Services revenue was $132 million, increasing 12% year-over-year

 

·Emerging & Other revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $181 million reflecting:

 

o13% growth from Care.com
o77% growth from Vivian Health

 

·IAC repurchased approximately 367,000 shares at an average price of $71.56 in Q3 2022.

 

·IAC entered into a definitive agreement to sell Bluecrew to EmployBridge, the nation’s largest provider of light industrial staffing solutions, for cash and stock with IAC becoming a minority shareholder in the combined company. The transaction is expected to be completed in November 2022.

 

·IAC holds 64.7 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 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 $1.3 billion in 2020, Q1 2022 and Q3 2022 and is worth $2.2 billion as of November 4, 2022.

o$112.9 million higher amortization of intangibles and $6.4 million higher depreciation (including $7.0 million related to restructuring charges) driven by the acquisition of Meredith

·Revenue decreased 31% to $156.7 million reflecting:

oA 38% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business)

o11% Adjusted EBITDA declines due primarily to higher losses at Bluecrew, Daily Beast and Newco and lower profits at Mosaic Group, partially offset by higher profits at Care.com

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $26.1 million in Q3 2022 for an effective tax rate of 28%, which is higher than the statutory rate due primarily to the realization of a capital loss. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $9.9 million in Q3 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.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $101.5 million, a $311.1 million decline year-over-year, and Free Cash Flow decreased $354.6 million to negative $214.3 million due to unfavorable working capital including $111.0 million paid in Q3 2022 for change-in-control and tax payments related to the Meredith acquisition, higher capital expenditures and higher cash interest payments.

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   11/4/22   Dilution at: 
Share Price            $45.26   $50.00   $55.00   $60.00   $65.00 
                                    
Absolute Shares as of 11/4/22   85.9         85.9    85.9    85.9    85.9    85.9 
                                    
Restricted stock, RSUs and non-publicy traded subsidiary denominated equity awards   5.1         0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6 
Options   2.9   $14.03    0.5    0.5    0.6    0.6    0.6 
Total Dilution             1.1    1.1    1.1    1.1    1.1 
% Dilution             1.3%   1.3%   1.3%   1.3%   1.3%
Total Diluted Shares Outstanding             87.0    87.0    87.0    87.0    87.0 

 

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. In addition, absolute shares exclude 3 million shares of restricted stock because this award is unvested as of November 4, 2022.

 

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 November 4, 2022, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $93.9 million (of which approximately 60% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before September 30, 2023) assuming a stock price of $45.26 and a 50% withholding rate. The table above assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used at September 30, 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 and which our internal budgets are based and may impact management compensation. 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 November 4, 2022 and a description of the calculation methodology.

 

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our capitalized software, equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements 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, technology, licensee relationships, content, trade names, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base and subscriber relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. 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.
