With this quarters results, it couldnt be clearer that we are on the right course in separating IAC into 5 distinct public entities. Each of the businesses have their own unique opportunities some with current challenges and others with wind at their backs, said IACs Chairman and CEO, Barry Diller. Ticketmaster grew revenue strongly and continues to invest for the future; our Retailing business struggled due to consumer pressures at Catalogs but, importantly, HSN continued to exhibit strong momentum; Interval continued its superb execution; Lending significantly narrowed its losses and posted its first quarter of sequential revenue growth in eight quarters; and, New IAC posted outstanding results with a more than doubling of profit in its Media & Advertising business.
Overall Highlights
· Q1 revenue growth was solid, while Operating Income Before Amortization declined modestly, reflecting the effects of a difficult macro environment on our Catalogs business, profit declines at Ticketmaster, and transaction expenses in connection with our planned spin-offs. Excluding transaction expenses, Operating Income Before Amortization grew 2% over the prior year, driven in large part by impressive growth at our Media & Advertising business.
· Q1 Free Cash Flow was $111.6 million, up 86% over the prior year, with $148.7 million in net cash provided by operating activities.
· As previously reported, IAC repurchased 6 million common shares at $24.25 per share on January 10, 2008.
Given the pending spin-off transactions, we thought it appropriate to present Q1 results for the businesses which will comprise IAC, HSN, Ticketmaster, LendingTree and Interval after the spin-offs:

Media & Advertising
Media & Advertising consists of proprietary properties such as Ask.com, Fun Web Products, Citysearch and Evite and network properties which include distributed search, sponsored listings, and toolbars. Both proprietary and network revenue grew during the quarter.
Media & Advertising revenue growth was driven by improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google, which resulted in an increase in revenue per query across all proprietary search sites. Revenue benefited further from an increase in queries and revenue per query at Fun Web Products and from distributed search. Revenue and revenue per query at Ask.com grew strongly, even excluding the benefits of the renewed contract. Queries declined overall due largely to significantly reduced marketing which more than offset growth in the core user base which searches most frequently. Proprietary revenue growth outpaced that of network revenue, primarily due to higher revenue per query at proprietary sites like Ask.com and Zwinky.com.
Media & Advertising profit benefited from a reduction in the current year expense of $4.6 million resulting from the capitalization and amortization of costs related to the distribution of toolbars which began on April 1, 2007. These costs had previously been expensed as incurred. Profits benefited further from lower marketing spend at Ask.com.

Match
Revenue growth was driven by an 8% and 12% increase in international subscribers and revenue per subscriber, respectively, and 6% growth in revenue per subscriber domestically where subscribers declined slightly. Operating Income Before Amortization growth reflects lower customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue in international markets. Domestic customer acquisition costs increased reflecting increased spending related to Chemistry.com, which continues to grow subscribers, partially offset by reductions in other domestic marketing spend. Operating income for the current period reflects amortization of non-cash marketing of $2.8 million.
ServiceMagic
ServiceMagic revenue benefited from a 12% increase in customer service requests, improved monetization of service requests and a 7% increase in the number of service providers in the network. Flat Operating Income Before Amortization reflects increased operating expenses primarily associated with the expansion of the sales force and higher customer acquisition costs, including higher offline marketing expenses, versus the prior year period. Profits were impacted further by slower growth from higher margin discretionary home repair and improvement requests, which we believe is due, in part, to the general slowdown in housing and consumer spending. Operating Income growth reflects lower amortization of intangibles.
Entertainment
Revenue was flat and a decline in Operating Income Before Amortization reflects increased professional fees and ongoing investments to increase both advertising revenue and the quality of local content throughout Entertainments discount and promotion product suite.
Emerging Businesses
Emerging Businesses include Shoebuy, ReserveAmerica, Pronto.com, Gifts.com, InstantAction.com and programming businesses such as Connected Ventures, 23/6, VSL and RushmoreDrive.com. Revenue for the period primarily reflects strong growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy, while losses increased due primarily to the inclusion of InstantAction.com, RushmoreDrive.com and other start-up investments not in the year ago figures.
Corporate
Corporate expense for the period included $8.6 million in expenses related to the spin-offs.

Revenue reflects 9% growth at HSN, excluding Americas Store, which ceased operations on April 3, 2007, partially offset by a 7% decline at Catalogs. Online sales continued to grow at a double digit rate in the first quarter.
HSN revenue grew 5% for the period on comparable unit shipments and a 5% increase in average price point. The increase in average price point was largely the result of increased sales in electronics. During the quarter, HSN continued to improve sales efficiency and increased the number and average spend of active customers. Catalogs revenue decline reflects a 4% decrease in units shipped and a 2% decline in average price point. The Catalogs business, which is principally comprised of home and apparel merchandise, continues to be affected by the difficult retail environment.
Operating Income Before Amortization at HSN declined 1% to $31.4 million, principally due to a shift in consumer demand and thus sales mix to electronics and cookware, which typically carry a lower margin. Profits were further negatively impacted by higher shipping and handlings costs. Catalogs Operating Income Before Amortization declined from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 to a loss of $5.2 million in the current period, reflecting lower gross margins in a highly promotional retail environment, partially offset by reduced costs associated with a 15% decline in catalog circulation.
Operating income of $27.6 million at HSN for the current period reflects amortization of non-cash marketing of $3.7 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million. Operating loss of $7.3 million at Catalogs for the current period reflects amortization of intangibles of $ 2.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million.

Revenue growth was driven by a 3% increase in tickets sold, with 7% higher average overall revenue per ticket. Domestic revenue increased 15% primarily due to contributions from Paciolan and TicketsNow (acquired in January and February, respectively) as well as higher average revenue per ticket and slightly higher overall ticket volume, including ticket sales for Jonas Brothers, Tom Petty and Kenny Chesney. International revenue grew 16%, or 6% excluding the effects of foreign exchange, due primarily to increased revenue in Canada and Australia. Acquisitions contributed $18.4 million to Ticketmasters overall revenue. Profits were adversely impacted by non-recurring items benefiting the prior year and losses associated with certain acquisitions and strategic investments, particularly in Germany, China and resale initiatives. Profits were impacted further by higher expenses associated with product and technology initiatives and higher overall royalty rates. Operating income for the current period reflects an increase in amortization of intangibles and an increase in non-cash compensation.

Lending
Revenue declined primarily due to fewer loans sold into the secondary market and fewer loans closed at the exchange. Revenue from all home loan products declined. Losses reflect a shift to lower margin products, higher costs per loan sold as a result of lower close rates and stricter underwriting criteria. Losses also reflect certain charges aggregating $3.1 million associated with legal and regulatory costs and restructuring initiatives, partially offset by lower marketing and other operating expenses.

Real Estate
Revenue declines reflect the absence of revenue from the agent network business which closed in December 2007 and fewer closings at the builder and broker networks, partially offset by increased closings at the company owned brokerage. The company owned brokerage, now operating in 14 markets, grew revenue 38% during the period. Losses decreased due primarily to lower marketing expenses and lower administrative costs resulting in part from the restructuring of the business during 2007.

Revenue reflects a $19.1 million contribution from ResortQuest Hawaii, acquired on May 31, 2007. Revenue and profit growth were driven by strong transaction revenue, due to 6% growth in member transaction volume and higher average fees, and a 4% increase in members. Profits grew at a slower rate than revenue primarily due to the inclusion of ResortQuest Hawaii.

OTHER ITEMS
Q1 other income (expense) benefited from a $4.3 million gain in Q1 2008 reflecting an increase in the fair value of the derivative asset received by the Company in connection with the sale of HSE24. The fair value of this derivative increases or decreases in inverse correlation to the fair value of the underlying stock of Arcandor AG. Additionally, Q1 other income (expense) benefited from a $2.3 million gain in Q1 2008 as compared to a $0.3 million loss in Q1 2007, reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives that were created in the Expedia spin-off. The derivatives relate to IACs obligation to deliver both IAC and Expedia shares upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants.
The effective tax rates for continuing operations and adjusted net income were 43% and 40% in Q1 2008, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and non-deductible costs related to the spin-offs, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. The Q1 2008 effective tax rate for continuing operations was further impacted by interest on tax contingencies and a write-off of a deferred tax asset related to non-cash compensation. The effective tax rates for continuing operations and adjusted net income were 38% and 37% in Q1 2007, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and interest on tax contingencies, partially offset by foreign tax credits associated with equity income from unconsolidated affiliates.
Prior year data has been restated to reflect the correction of an error related to Intervals deferred revenue and related costs.

|
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, consolidated Free Cash Flow increased by $51.5 million from the prior year period due principally to lower cash taxes paid, lower capital expenditures and improved cash management, partially offset by a decreased contribution from Ticketmaster client cash. The contribution from Ticketmaster client cash decreased $24.4 million from the prior year period. Free Cash Flow includes the change in lines of credit because the change in loans held for sale is already included in cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow excludes tax payments and refunds related to the sale of the Companys interests in PRC and VUE because the proceeds from these sales were not included in cash provided by operating activities.

The weighted average number of RSUs outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes includes the weighted average number of performance-based RSUs that the Company believes are probable of vesting. There are no performance-based RSUs included for GAAP purposes.

IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP. These measures 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 contained in this release and which we discuss below.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (4) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IACs segments, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IACs statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation, non-cash marketing, and acquisition-related accounting.
Adjusted Net Income generally captures all items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income available to common shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and minority interest, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, (4) equity income or loss from IACs 5.44% interest in VUE and gain on the sale of IACs interest in VUE, (5) non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off as a result of both IAC and Expedia shares being issuable upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants, (6) income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative asset associated with the sale of HSE24, (7) one-time items, and (8) discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IACs consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes. We include dilution from options and warrants per the treasury stock method and include all restricted shares and restricted stock units (RSUs) in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, with performance-based RSUs included based on the number of shares that the Company believes are probable of vesting. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis and with respect to performance-based RSUs only to the extent the performance criteria are met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). In addition, convertible instruments are assumed to be converted in determining shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, if the effect is dilutive. Shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, IACs consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Operating Income Before Amortization, and in addition Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not account for IACs former passive ownership in VUE. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statement of operations.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and preferred dividends paid by IAC. For purposes of Free Cash Flow, we also include changes in warehouse lines of credit due to the close connection that exists with changes in loans held for sale which are included in cash provided by operating activities. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes tax payments and refunds related to the sale of IACs interests in VUE, PRC and HSE24 due to the exclusion of the proceeds from these sales from cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. 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.

Pro Forma Results
We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this release, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.
Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income are presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this release, there are no adjustments for any one-time items.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures
Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. We view the true cost of our restricted stock units as the dilution to our share base, and as such units are included in our shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes as described above under the definition of Adjusted EPS. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards are settled, at the Companys discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.
Amortization of non-cash marketing consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which VUE was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE (collectively referred to as NBC Universal Advertising). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost.
The NBC Universal Advertising is excluded from Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income because it is non-cash and generally is incremental to the advertising the Company otherwise secures as a result of its ordinary cost/benefit marketing planning process. Accordingly, the Companys aggregate level of advertising, and the increased concentration of that advertising on NBC Universal network and cable channels, does not reflect what our advertising effort would otherwise be without these credits, which will expire on September 30, 2008 if not exhausted before then. As a result, management believes that treating the NBC Universal Advertising as an expense does not appropriately reflect its true cost/benefit relationship, nor does it best reflect the Companys long-term level of advertising expenditures. Nonetheless, while the benefits directly attributable to television advertising are always difficult to determine, and especially so with respect to the NBC Universal Advertising due to its incrementality and heavy concentration, it is likely that the Company does derive benefits from it, though management believes such benefits are generally less than those received through its regular advertising for the reasons stated above. Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income therefore have the limitation of including those benefits while excluding the associated expense.
Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as supplier contracts and customer relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.
Equity income or loss from IACs 5.44% common interest in VUE was excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC had no operating control over VUE, had no way to forecast this business, and did not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IACs businesses. The gain from the sale in June 2005 of IACs interests in VUE and related effects are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for similar reasons.
Non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the obligations underlying these derivatives, which relate to the Ask Convertible Notes and certain IAC warrants, are expected to ultimately be settled in shares of IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, and not in cash.
Income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative asset created in the sale of HSE24 is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the variations in the value of the derivative are non-operational in nature.
Free Cash Flow
We look at Free Cash Flow as a measure of the strength and performance of our businesses, not for valuation purposes. In our view, applying multiples to Free Cash Flow is inappropriate because it is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events. We manage our business for cash and we think it is of utmost importance to maximize cash but our primary valuation metrics are Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted EPS. In addition, because Free Cash Flow is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events, we believe it is not appropriate to annualize quarterly Free Cash Flow results.
