* In 2012, the Company renamed and realigned its reportable segments. Search has been renamed “Search & Applications.” The Media & Other segment has been separated into a “Media” segment and an “Other” segment, the details of which are further described on page 3. As announced in our Q1 earnings release, a new segment was created called Local that includes ServiceMagic, which was previously reported as its own separate segment, and CityGrid Media, which was previously included in the Search & Applications segment. In addition, DailyBurn was moved from the Search & Applications segment to the Media segment and Pronto was moved from the Media & Other segment to the Search & Applications segment. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Search & Applications
The Search segment has been renamed “Search & Applications” with new metrics, delineated between Websites(1) and Applications(2), to provide more clarity on how we view and operate this segment. Revenue reflects strong growth from both Applications and Websites. Revenue growth from Applications was driven by increased contributions from existing and new partners and products. Websites revenue reflects strong query gains driven primarily by increased marketing and content optimization. Websites revenue, however, grew more slowly than queries due to the prior year period benefiting from $7.0 million of revenue related to our direct sponsored listings business, which was sold in November 2011, as well as flat revenue at Pronto and relatively modest revenue growth at Dictionary.com. Profits were favorably impacted by higher revenue and operating expense leverage, partially offset by higher cost of acquisition as a percentage of revenue.
Note 1: Websites includes Ask.com, Pronto and Dictionary.com, excluding downloadable applications related to the aforementioned sites.
Note 2: Applications includes our direct to consumer applications business (B2C) and partnership operations (B2B), as well as downloadable applications related to Ask.com and Dictionary.com.
SEE IMPORTANT NOTES AT END OF THIS DOCUMENT
Match
Match includes Core(1), Developing(2) and Meetic(3), which has been consolidated since September 1, 2011. Revenue benefited from the contribution of Meetic, which had revenue of $52.7 million and was not in the year ago period, and growth from Core. Core revenue increased 12% to $109.5 million driven by a 10% increase in subscribers. Operating Income Before Amortization, excluding Meetic’s results, increased 12% to $47.3 million and was favorably impacted by higher revenue and lower customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Operating income in the current year period reflects an increase in amortization of intangibles and non-cash compensation expense due to the acquisition of Meetic.
Local
Local includes ServiceMagic and CityGrid Media. Revenue increased reflecting growth from both ServiceMagic and CityGrid. ServiceMagic domestic revenue grew due to higher average lead acceptance fees. ServiceMagic international revenue grew primarily due to an increase in service request accepts. CityGrid Media revenue increased due to higher reseller revenue partially offset by a decline from direct sales revenue. Local profits were favorably impacted by higher revenue and lower selling and marketing expense and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue.
Media
Media includes Electus, CollegeHumor, Notional, Vimeo, DailyBurn and Newsweek Daily Beast, which has been consolidated following our acquisition of a controlling interest in late May 2012. The businesses have been combined into a separate segment to more clearly describe how we view and operate these businesses. The increase in revenue is due to the contribution of Newsweek Daily Beast and strong growth from Electus and Vimeo. Higher losses reflect the inclusion of Newsweek Daily Beast and increased operating expenses at CollegeHumor.
Other
Other includes Shoebuy, Hatch Labs and Blu Trumpet. Losses were negatively impacted by increased investment in Hatch Labs and in Blu Trumpet, which was not in the year ago period.
Corporate
Corporate loss increased primarily due to a non-income tax refund in Q2 2011. Operating loss in Q2 2012 was impacted by a decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $3.5 million, which is primarily due to a charge in the prior year period related to a modification of certain awards and the reduction in expense in the current year period related to the reassessment of the probability of the vesting of certain performance-based awards.
Note 1: Core consists of Match.com in the United States, Chemistry and People Media.
Note 2: Developing consists of OkCupid, Singlesnet, mobile-only products and non-Meetic international operations.
Note 3: Meetic consists of the publicly traded personals company Meetic S.A., which operates principally in Europe.

OTHER ITEMS
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates in Q2 2012 includes a pre-tax non-cash charge of $18.6 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our investment in Newsweek Daily Beast to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates in Q2 2011 includes the losses from Newsweek Daily Beast. Other income in Q2 2011 includes a $4.6 million pre-tax gain associated with certain non-income tax refunds related to Match Europe, which was sold in 2009.
The effective tax rates for continuing operations and Adjusted Net Income in Q2 2012 were 37% and 32%, respectively. The effective tax rate for continuing operations was higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the non-cash re-measurement charge, which yielded a tax benefit at a lower rate, and state taxes, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. The effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income was lower than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign income taxed at lower rates and the favorable impact of the reassessment of our ability to realize certain deferred tax assets, partially offset by state taxes. The effective tax rates for continuing operations and Adjusted Net Income in Q2 2011 were 17% and 21%, respectively. The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to a reduction in state tax accruals that were no longer required.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
IAC’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share of common and Class B common stock outstanding with record and payment dates of August 15, 2012 and September 1, 2012, respectively.
During Q2 2012, IAC repurchased 2.9 million common shares at an average price of $47.53 per share. Between April 1, 2012 and May 7, 2012, IAC issued 8.8 million shares of common stock and received cash proceeds of $201.2 million in connection with the exercise of warrants, some of which were exercised on a cashless or net basis. There are no remaining outstanding warrants.
As of June 30, 2012, IAC had 88.8 million common and class B common shares outstanding. IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook. As of July 20, 2012, the Company had 9.5 million shares remaining in its repurchase authorization.
As of June 30, 2012, IAC had $945.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $95.8 million in debt of which $15.8 million is short-term.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
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. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, and (4) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IAC’s 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 IAC’s statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation 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 earnings attributable to IAC shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and noncontrolling interests, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE, (5) the reversal of a deferred tax liability associated with our 27% investment in Meetic, (6) the re-measurement losses recorded upon acquiring control of Meetic and Newsweek Daily Beast, (7) one-time items, and (8) discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IAC’s 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, income taxes and noncontrolling interests, 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 in accordance with the treasury stock method and include all 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). 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, IAC’s 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, income taxes and noncontrolling interests, 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 IAC’s 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. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes, if applicable, tax payments and refunds related to the sale of IAC’s interests in VUE, an internal restructuring and dividends received that represent a return of capital due to the exclusion of the proceeds from these sales and dividends 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.

One-Time Items
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 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 stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for stock options and restricted stock units, are included on a treasury method basis, and for performance-based RSUs are included on a treasury method basis once the performance conditions are met. We view the true cost of our restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs 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 the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance-based RSUs, the awards are settled, at the Company’s discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.
Amortization of intangibles (including impairment of intangibles, if applicable) and goodwill impairment (if applicable) are non-cash expenses relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer lists, technology and supplier agreements, 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. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable are not ongoing costs of doing business.
Income or loss effects related to IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC had no operating control over VUE, which was sold for a gain in 2005, had no way to forecast this business, and did not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IAC’s businesses.
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.
