Q4 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Angi Inc. revenue increased 6% year-over-year to $442 million, operating loss increased to $60 million (compared to a loss of $29 million in Q4 2021) and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $16 million (compared to a loss of $3 million in Q4 2021). |
| o | Angi segment presentation reflects its four new operating segments (i) Ads and Leads, (ii) Services, (iii) Roofing and (iv) International (includes Europe and Canada); prior periods have been recast to reflect the new segment presentation. Angi metrics disclosure has also been updated. Please see further detail within this release and metrics definitions on page 19. |
| o | Ads and Leads revenue increased 7% year-over-year, the third consecutive quarter of growth |
| o | Services revenue increased 10% and Roofing increased 5% |
| · | Dotdash Meredith Digital revenue was $260 million and Print revenue was $224 million. Pro Forma revenue decreased 26% due to 14% Digital declines and 36% Print declines. |
| o | Operating loss of $9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $73 million in Q4 2022 reflect $21 million of restructuring charges and transaction-related items |
| · | Emerging & Other revenue decreased 16% year-over-year to $177 million, operating income increased 583% to $8 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $12 million. Q4 revenue reflects: |
| o | The sale of Bluecrew on November 9, 2022, and 34% lower IAC Films revenue |
| o | 53% growth from Vivian Health and 3% growth from Care.com |
| · | 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 and 2022 and is worth $2.8 billion as of February 10, 2023. |

| § | Meredith integration impacts including site migrations, sales force consolidation and combining advertising technology infrastructure |
| § | Softening consumer demand impacting affiliate commerce revenue and performance marketing revenue (primarily related to financial services products) |
| § | Lower licensing revenue due to certain partner agreements in the prior year that did not repeat in Q4 2022 as well as declines in traffic and advertising on syndication partner sites |
| o | 36% Print declines driven by the restructuring in Q1 2022, including ceasing several publications, reducing circulation in other titles and continued secular declines |

Gross/Net Revenue Recognition Change
From January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022, Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, Angi Inc. modified the Services terms and conditions so that the service professional, rather than Angi Inc., has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the service professional. This change in contractual terms requires net revenue accounting treatment effective January 1, 2023. There is no impact to operating income or Adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the supplemental metrics posted in the Q4 2022 quarterly earnings section at ir.iac.com and ir.angi.com for historical Services and total Angi Inc. revenue on a net basis for comparative purposes to the prospective revenue recognition for Services beginning January 1, 2023.

| · | Operating loss increased $31.5 million to $60.4 million reflecting: |
| o | $26.0 million goodwill impairment at Roofing due to exiting certain markets and a projected reduction in future profits from the business |
Page 6 of 21
| o | $19.6 million higher depreciation due primarily to the impairment of certain internally developed software that will no longer be utilized as Angi transitions away from certain business offerings in the Services segment |
| o | $5.6 million higher stock-based compensation expense due primarily to management departures and new grants issued over the past year |
| o | Adjusted EBITDA increasing $18.9 million to $15.7 million reflecting: |
| § | Gross profit increasing 8% to $339.3 million due primarily to lower cost of revenue year-over-year and as a percentage of revenue driven by Services and Roofing |
| § | Selling and marketing expense flat year-over-year and lower as a percentage of revenue due primarily to improved marketing efficiency and improved sales productivity at Ads and Leads |
| § | Services including $13.0 million of legal related expenses and restructuring charges |
Search
| · | Revenue decreased 45% to $153.1 million reflecting: |
| o | A 46% decrease at Ask Media Group due to a reduction in marketing from affiliate partners driving fewer visitors to ad supported search and content websites |
| o | A 38% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business) |
| · | Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 62% to $13 million driven by lower revenue |
Page 7 of 21
Emerging & Other
| · | Revenue decreased 16% to $177.1 million reflecting: |
| o | The sale of Bluecrew on November 9, 2022 |
| o | 34% lower IAC Films revenue ($22.0 million in Q4 2022 primarily from Causeway and Everything Everywhere All at Once vs. $33.4 million in Q4 2021 primarily from The Tragedy of Macbeth) |
| o | Lower Mosaic Group and Daily Beast revenue |
| o | 53% growth from Vivian Health |
| o | Care.com revenue increasing 3% to $89.3 million |
| · | Operating income increased $7.0 million to $8.2 million reflecting: |
| o | $7.3 million lower amortization of intangibles driven primarily by Care.com |
| o | 2% Adjusted EBITDA growth due primarily to higher profits at Care and lower losses from Bluecrew due to the sale, partially offset by lower profits from IAC Films and higher losses at Daily Beast, Vivian Health and Newco |
Corporate
Operating loss decreased $11.6 million to $27.1 million due to $9.9 million lower Adjusted EBITDA losses, primarily driven by lower compensation costs, and $1.1 million lower stock-based compensation expense.
Other expense, net
Q4 2022 Other expense, net includes:
| · | A gain of $132.2 million on the sale of Bluecrew. On November 9, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Bluecrew, which was included in the Emerging & Other segment, to EmployBridge, a provider of light industrial staffing solutions, for cash and stock with the Company becoming a minority shareholder in the combined company. |
| · | An actuarial loss of $131.1 million principally resulting from a decrease in the net asset position of Meredith’s IPC Pension Scheme related to the purchase of an annuity, which is intended to insure 100% of the future designated contractual benefit payments to all covered participants, $87.0 million in unrealized losses related to certain investments in equity securities and an unrealized decrease of $83.8 million in the estimated fair value of a warrant. |
Page 8 of 21
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.6 million in Q4 2022 for an effective tax rate of 30%, which is higher than the statutory rate due primarily to research credits, partially offset by state taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $12.1 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.
Free Cash Flow
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $82.8 million, a $201.7 million decline year-over-year, which includes $161.7 million of payments related to transaction-related items (including change-in-control), restructuring charges and certain indemnification-related payments at Dotdash Meredith as well as higher cash interest payments. Free Cash Flow decreased $251.2 million to negative $222.5 million due to the above-mentioned changes in net cash used in operating activities 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).

| 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 February 10, 2023.
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 10, 2023, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $105.2 million (of which approximately 60% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before December 31, 2023) assuming a stock price of $51.95 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, 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 11 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of February 10, 2023 and a description of the calculation methodology.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our capitalized software, equipment, leasehold improvements and buildings 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, trade names, content, 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.
