NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Angi Inc. (the “Company”), formerly ANGI Homeservices Inc., connects quality home service professionals with consumers across 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. Over 250,000 domestic service professionals actively sought consumer matches, completed jobs, or advertised work through Angi Inc. platforms; and consumers turned to at least one of our brands to find a professional for approximately 34 million projects during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company has two operating segments (i) North America (United States and Canada), which includes HomeAdvisor, Angi (formerly Angie’s List), Handy, and HomeStars; and (ii) Europe, which includes Travaux, MyHammer, MyBuilder, Werkspot, and Instapro.
As used herein, “Angi Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to Angi Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
At March 31, 2021, IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) owned 84.2% and 98.2% of the economic interest and voting interest, respectively, of the Company.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between (i) Angi Inc. and (ii) IAC and its subsidiaries, with the exception of a promissory note payable to a foreign subsidiary of IAC, are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. See “Note 10—Related Party Transactions with IAC” for additional information on transactions between Angi Inc. and IAC.
For the purpose of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed as if Angi Inc. filed tax returns on a standalone, separate tax return basis. Any differences between taxes currently payable to or receivable from IAC under the tax sharing agreement between the Company and IAC and the current tax provision computed on an as if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital and as financing activities within the statement of cash flows.
In management's opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
COVID-19 Update
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 outbreak, which has been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization, has been varied and volatile. The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the continuing spread of COVID-19, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures (including the global distribution of vaccines) and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services (including those provided by certain of our service professionals) and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to

ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
the operating environment in which we do business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the virus continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for the Company’s various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited will be the Company’s ability to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues. Additionally, many service professionals’ businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted the Company’s ability to monetize on increased levels of service requests.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable debt securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the determination of revenue reserves; the carrying value of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”); the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
General Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers and in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company’s performance. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of the Company’s performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2020 were $54.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $34.4 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $37.1 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at March 31, 2021 are $57.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

(Unaudited)
For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. The amount of capitalized sales commissions where the initial customer relationship period is greater than one year is $49.2 million and $49.6 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The current and non-current capitalized sales commissions balances are included in “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are $48.7 million and $49.2 million, and $0.5 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that are expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2—INCOME TAXES
The Company is included within IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings. In all periods presented, the income tax benefit and/or provision has been computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from IAC for the Company’s share of IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. The tax sharing agreement between the Company and IAC governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters, including responsibility for taxes attributable to the Company, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes and other matters and, therefore, ultimately governs the amount payable to or receivable from IAC with respect to income taxes. Any differences between taxes currently payable to or receivable from IAC under the tax sharing agreement and the current tax provision computed on an as if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital and as financing activities within the statement of cash flows.
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company’s tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision or benefit in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $9.3 million due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting for stock-based awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $9.0 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 49% and is higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to a $5.7 million reduction to deferred taxes due to the true-up of the state tax rate for an indefinite-lived intangible asset, partially offset by unbenefited foreign losses.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. There are currently no accruals for interest and penalties.

The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax as a result of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has substantially completed its audit of IAC’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2017, which includes the operations of the Company. The statutes of limitations for the years 2010 through 2012 and for the years 2013 through 2017 have been extended to May 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for various tax years beginning with 2009. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $5.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively; all of which are for tax positions included in IAC’s consolidated tax return filings. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021 are subsequently recognized, the income tax provision would be reduced by $5.4 million. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2020 is $5.1 million. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $0.5 million by March 31, 2022 due to settlements, all of which would reduce the income tax provision.
NOTE 3—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Marketable Debt Securities
The Company did not hold any available-for-sale marketable debt securities at March 31, 2021.

The contractual maturities of debt securities classified as current available-for-sale at December 31, 2020 were within one year.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

ANGI Group Senior Notes
The ANGI Group Senior Notes were issued on August 20, 2020. At any time prior to August 15, 2023, these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains a covenant that would limit ANGI Group’s ability to incur liens for borrowed money in the event a default has occurred or ANGI Group’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 3.75 to 1.0. At March 31, 2021, there were no limitations pursuant thereto.
ANGI Group Term Loan and ANGI Group Revolving Facility
The outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan was $213.1 million and $220.0 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, ANGI Group prepaid $6.9 million that was otherwise due in the first quarter of 2022, and as of May 6, 2021, the outstanding balance was repaid in its entirety. The Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, or 2.10% and 2.16% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The ANGI Group Credit Agreement requires ANGI Group to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 4.5 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0. The ANGI Group Credit Agreement also contains covenants that would limit ANGI Group’s ability to pay dividends, or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or ANGI Group’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.25 to 1.0. At March 31, 2021, there were no limitations pursuant thereto.

The $250.0 million ANGI Group Revolving Facility expires on November 5, 2023. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility. The commitment fee, which is based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and the average daily dollar amount of the available revolving commitments, was 35 basis points at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Any future borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility would bear interest, at ANGI Group’s option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is based on ANGI Group’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The financial and other covenants are the same as those for the ANGI Group Term Loan.
The ANGI Group Senior Notes and the ANGI Group Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of ANGI Group’s wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries and ANGI Group’s obligations under the ANGI Group Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of ANGI Group and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. Outstanding borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility have priority over the ANGI Group Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the borrowings under the ANGI Group Credit Agreement.

(a) If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock appreciation rights, stock options and subsidiary denominated equity and vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 5.2 million potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(b) Market-based awards and performance-based stock units are considered contingently issuable shares. Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of market-based awards and performance-based stock units are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable performance or market condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the market-based award and performance-based stock units is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 1.4 million shares underlying market-based awards and performance-based stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the performance or market condition(s) had not been met.
(c) For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a loss from operations and as a result, approximately 38.0 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from computing dilutive earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding were used to compute all earnings per share amounts.
NOTE 7—SEGMENT INFORMATION
The overall concept that the Company employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker views the businesses. In addition, we consider how the businesses are organized as to segment management; and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market.

The Company believes this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of its competitors. The above items are excluded from the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

NOTE 9—CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has not identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See “Note 2—Income Taxes” for additional information related to income tax contingencies.
NOTE 10—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH IAC
Angi Inc. and IAC have entered into certain agreements to govern their relationship. These agreements include: a contribution agreement; an investor rights agreement; a services agreement; a tax sharing agreement; and an employee matters agreement.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the company was charged $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, by IAC for services rendered pursuant to the services agreement. At March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding payables of less than $0.1 million due to IAC, pursuant to the services agreement. There were no outstanding receivables or payables pursuant to the services agreement as of December 31, 2020.
Separately, the Company subleases office space to IAC and charged IAC $0.4 million of rent for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. At March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding receivables pursuant to the sublease agreements. At December 31, 2020 there was an outstanding receivable of less than $0.1 million due from IAC pursuant to the sublease agreements, which was subsequently paid in full in the first quarter of 2021.
At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding payables of $0.9 million, due to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, which are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There were no payments to or refunds from IAC pursuant to this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of Angi Inc.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
Management Overview
Angi Inc., formerly ANGI Homeservices, Inc., (“Angi Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) connects quality home service professionals with consumers across 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. Over 250,000 domestic service professionals actively sought consumer matches, completed jobs, or advertised work through Angi Inc. platforms; and consumers turned to at least one of our brands to find a professional for approximately 34 million projects during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company has two operating segments (i) North America (United States and Canada), which includes HomeAdvisor, Angi (formerly Angie’s List), Handy, and HomeStars; and (ii) Europe, which includes Travaux, MyHammer, MyBuilder, Werkspot, and Instapro.
For a more detailed description of the Company’s operating businesses, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Defined Terms and Operating Metrics:
Unless otherwise indicated or as the context requires otherwise certain terms, which include the principal operating metrics we use in managing our business, used in this quarterly report are defined below:

Components of Results of Operations
Sources of Revenue
Marketplace Revenue is primarily derived from (i) consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by service professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the service professional ultimately provides the requested service) and revenue from completed jobs sourced through the marketplace platforms and (ii) service professional membership subscription fees. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors, including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Advertising and Other Revenue is primarily derived from (i) sales of time-based website, mobile, and call center advertising to service professionals, and (ii) membership subscription fees from consumers.
Operating Costs and Expenses:
•Cost of revenue - consists primarily of payments made to independent service professionals who perform work contracted under pre-priced arrangements through the marketplace platforms, credit card processing fees, and hosting fees.
•Selling and marketing expense - consists primarily of advertising expenditures, which include online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, offline marketing, which is primarily television advertising, and partner-related payments to those who direct traffic to our brands, compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs for our sales force and marketing personnel, and facilities costs.
•General and administrative expense - consists primarily of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax, human resources and customer service functions, fees for professional services (including transaction-related costs related to acquisitions), provision for credit losses, software license and maintenance costs, and facilities costs. Our customer service function includes personnel who provide support to our service professionals and consumers.
•Product development expense - consists primarily of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology, software license and maintenance costs, and facilities costs.
Non-GAAP financial measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Principles of Financial Reporting” for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to Angi Inc. shareholders to operating income (loss) to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Brand Integration Initiative
On March 17, 2021, our Company updated one of its leading websites and brands, Angie’s List, to Angi, and began the process of consolidating under a single brand. Going forward we will concentrate our marketing investment in the Angi brand in order to focus our marketing, sales, and branding efforts on a single brand.
Our Company relies heavily on free and paid search engine marketing efforts to drive traffic to our properties, which has been adversely affected by this initiative. Specifically, our brand initiative has adversely affected the placement and ranking of Angi Inc. websites, particularly Angi.com, in organic search results as Angi does not have the same domain history as Angie’s List. In addition, we shifted marketing to support Angi, away from HomeAdvisor, which has negatively affected the efficiency of our search engine marketing efforts.
These efforts have had a pronounced negative impact on Marketplace Service Requests from organic search results, and reduced monetization via our mobile applications, which in turn has resulted in relatively more Marketplace Service Requests from paid search engine marketing. The combined effect has reduced revenue and increased marketing spend, which we expect to result in lower profits in the quarter ending June 30, 2021. We expect this trend to continue until such time as the new brand establishes search engine optimization ranking and consumer awareness is established. We expect the reduction in revenue,
23
increased marketing expense, and lower profits to continue for the remainder of 2021 and potentially into 2022, with the most significant impact in the second quarter of 2021. The Company has also increased its investment in Angi Services, our pre-priced product offering, which will reduce profits more than planned during 2021.
COVID-19 Update
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 outbreak, which has been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization, has been varied and volatile. The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the continuing spread of COVID-19, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures (including the global distribution of vaccines) and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services (including those provided by certain of our service professionals) and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to the operating environment in which we do business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the virus continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for the Company’s various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited will be the Company’s ability to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues.
When COVID-19 first impacted us in March 2020, we experienced a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). During the second quarter of 2020, we experienced a rebound in service requests, exceeding pre-COVID-19 growth levels, driven by increased demand from homeowners who spent more time at home due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Company continued to experience strong demand for home services in the second half of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. However, many service professionals’ businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted our ability to monetize this increased level of service requests.

North America revenue increased $36.9 million, or 11%, driven by increases in Marketplace Revenue of $32.3 million or 12%, and Advertising and Other Revenue of $4.6 million, or 7%. The increase in Marketplace Revenue is due to an increase in consumer connection revenue of $32.5 million, or 14%, due primarily to an increase of 29% in Marketplace Service Requests to 7.7 million, resulting in a 17% increase in Marketplace Monetized Transactions to 4.2 million. The increase in Advertising and Other Revenue is due primarily to an increase in Angi revenue driven by a 8% increase in Advertising SPs.
Europe revenue increased $6.5 million, or 33%, due to strong growth across its markets due to increased consumer demand and the favorable impact of the weakening of the U.S dollar relative to the Euro and the British Pound.

North America selling and marketing expense increased $16.7 million, or 10%, driven by increases in compensation expense of $9.0 million, advertising expense of $6.0 million, and outsourced personnel and consulting costs of $2.5 million. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to increased commission expense, in addition to an increase in sales force headcount. The increase in advertising expense was due primarily to an increase in online marketing, partially offset by a decrease in television spend. The increase in outsourced personnel and consulting costs was due primarily to various sales initiatives in Angi Services.
Europe selling and marketing expense decreased $0.8 million, or 6%, driven by a decrease in compensation expense of $0.6 million from lower headcount and a decrease in advertising of $0.1 million.

North America general and administrative expense decreased $13.2 million, or 15%, due primarily to a decrease of $20.0 million in compensation expense, partially offset by increases in professional fees of $3.0 million, provision for credit loss of $1.3 million, and software license and maintenance costs of $0.8 million. The decrease in compensation expense is due to a decrease of $22.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million primarily resulting from annual wage increases. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2021 is due primarily to $11.9 million for stock appreciation rights expense recognized in the first quarter of 2020 which were not incurred in 2021 as the awards became fully vested in 2020, a net decrease of $7.7 million due to the reversal of previously recognized expense related to unvested awards that were forfeited due to management departures in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by the issuance of new equity awards since 2020. The increase in professional fees is due primarily to an increase in outsourced personnel costs and legal fees. The increase in outsourced personnel costs is due primarily to an increase in call volume related to our customer service function. The increase in provision for credit loss is driven by higher Marketplace Revenue.
Europe general and administrative expense increased $6.8 million, or 88%, due primarily to a charge of $6.0 million related to the acquisition of an additional 21% interest in our MyBuilder business at a premium to fair value, and a $0.6 million increase in professional fees related to the platform migration in France.

NM = Not meaningful
North America operating income was $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $17.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, despite a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $10.2 million, described below, due primarily to decreases of $23.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and $7.9 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in depreciation. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to the factors discussed in the general and administrative expense section above. The decrease in the amortization of intangibles was due primarily to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during 2020. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to the development of capitalized software to support our products and services.
Europe operating loss increased $1.3 million, or 16%, due primarily to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.0 million, described below and an increase of $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in amortization of intangibles.
At March 31, 2021, there is $89.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

North America Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10.2 million, or 25%, to $31.2 million, despite higher revenue, due primarily to an increase of $20.6 million in cost of revenue and an increase of $15.9 million in selling and marketing expense, both described above. This was also impacted by $4.0 million in expense related to impairments in Fixd Services business and from management changes at the Company.

For further details of income tax matters, see “Note 2—Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.”
In 2021, the income tax benefit was due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting for stock-based awards.
In 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $9.0 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 49%. The effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to a $5.7 million reduction to deferred taxes due to the true-up of the state tax rate of an indefinite-lived intangible asset, partially offset by unbenefited foreign losses.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
We report Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is one of 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. This non-GAAP measure 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. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
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 amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable. 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. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options, performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) and market-based awards. 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. PSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis and remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our 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.
30
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 service professional relationships, technology, memberships, customer lists and user base, and trade names, 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.

Cash Flow Information
In summary, the Company’s cash flows are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||||||
Net cash provided by (used in): | |||||||||||
Operating activities | $ | 15,345 | $ | 55,906 | |||||||
Investing activities | 31,257 | (12,469) | |||||||||
Financing activities | (82,897) | (48,337) |
Net cash provided by operating activities consists of earnings adjusted for non-cash items and the effect of changes in working capital. Non-cash adjustments include stock-based compensation expense, provision for credit losses, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, and deferred income taxes.
2021
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of $19.1 million of provision for credit losses, $16.0 million of depreciation, $5.1 million of amortization of intangibles, $2.9 million of revenue reserves, and $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by $10.3 million of deferred income taxes. The decrease from changes in working capital consists primarily of increases in accounts receivable of $34.6 million, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $4.5 million and deferred revenue of $3.0 million. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to an increase in accrued advertising and related payables. The increase in deferred revenue is driven primarily by increases in memberships. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth in North America.
32
Net cash provided by investing activities includes proceeds of $50.0 million from the maturities of marketable debt securities, net of capital expenditures of $18.7 million, primarily related to investments in the development of capitalized software to support the Company’s products and services.
Net cash used in financing activities includes $48.2 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $22.9 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests, $6.9 million for the prepayment on the Term Loan required quarterly payments that was otherwise due in the first quarter of 2022, and $4.9 million for the repurchase of 0.4 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement and trade date basis, at an average price of $11.85 per share.
2020
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of $25.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $17.8 million of bad debt expense, $13.0 million of amortization of intangibles, and $12.1 million of depreciation, partially offset by $8.3 million of deferred income taxes. The deferred income tax benefit primarily relates to an adjustment to deferred taxes resulting from a true-up of the state tax rate. The increase from changes in working capital consists primarily of an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $21.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $21.2 million. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to an increase in accrued advertising and related payables. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth in North America.
Net cash provided by investing activities includes capital expenditures of $13.2 million, primarily related to investments in the development of capitalized software to support the Company's products and services and leasehold improvements.
Net cash used in financing activities includes $38.5 million for the repurchase of 5.2 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $7.43 per share, $3.4 million for the principal payment on the Term Loan, $3.2 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, and $3.2 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing Arrangements
The outstanding balance of the Term Loan as of March 31, 2021 was $213.1 million and bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, or 2.10%. As of May 6, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was repaid in its entirety.
On August 20, 2020, ANGI Group issued $500.0 million of its Senior Notes due August 15, 2028, with interest payable February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2021. The proceeds from the offering are being used for general corporate purposes, which may include potential future acquisitions and return of capital.
The Credit Facility of $250 million expires on November 5, 2023. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The commitment fee, which is based on ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and the average daily dollar amount of the available revolving commitments, was 35 basis points at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at ANGI Group’s option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is determined based on ANGI Group’s consolidated net leverage ratio. Any borrowings under the ANGI Group Credit Facility are guaranteed by ANGI Group's wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of ANGI Group and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The terms of the Credit Facility require Angi Inc. to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 4.5 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0. There are additional covenants under the Credit Facility that limit the ability of ANGI Group and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions.
Share Repurchase Authorizations and Activity
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares, on a settlement and trade date basis, of its common stock at an average price of $11.85 per share. The Company had 18.9 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2021. The Company may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time
33
on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors Angi Inc. management deems relevant at any particular time without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.
Outstanding Stock-based Awards
The Company may settle equity awards on a gross or a net basis upon factors deemed relevant at the time. Certain Angi stock appreciation rights are settleable, at the Company’s option, on a net basis with Angi remitting withholding taxes on behalf of the employee or on a gross basis with the Company issuing a sufficient number of Class A shares to cover the withholding taxes. In addition, at IAC/InterActiveCorp’s (“IAC”) option, these awards can be settled in either Class A shares of Angi or shares of IAC common stock. If settled in IAC common stock, the Company reimburses IAC in either cash or through the issuance of Class A shares to IAC. The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis.
Pursuant to the employee matters agreement, in the event of a distribution of Angi capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation Committee of the IAC Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Such authority includes (but is not limited to) the ability to convert all or part of IAC equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the distribution into equity awards denominated in shares of Angi Class A Common Stock, which Angi would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to Angi’s stockholders.
The following table summarizes the aggregate intrinsic value of all awards outstanding as of April 30, 2021; assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be paid by the Company on behalf of employees upon exercise or vesting that would be payable (assuming these equity awards are net settled with a 50% tax rate), and the shares that would have been issued are as follows:
Aggregate intrinsic value of awards outstanding | Estimated withholding taxes payable | Estimated shares to be issued | |||||||||||||||
(In thousands) | (Shares in thousands) | ||||||||||||||||
Stock appreciation rights | $ | 15,283 | $ | 7,642 | 477 | ||||||||||||

Total outstanding employee stock-based awards | $ | 182,587 | $ | 90,074 | 5,778 |
(a)Includes stock options, RSUs, and subsidiary denominated equity.
(b)The number of shares ultimately needed to settle subsidiary denominated equity awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant award at the time of exercise. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the Company’s stock price.
Capital Expenditures
The Company’s 2021 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2020 capital expenditures of $52.5 million by approximately 50% to 60%, due primarily to increased investment in capitalized software to support the development of our products and services.
Liquidity Assessment
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services due to COVID-19 or other factors. As described in the “COVID-19 Update” section above, to date, the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread have adversely impacted the Company’s business. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak have adverse impacts on economic conditions generally, the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes it has ample access to capital to navigate current and coming economic pressures.
The Company’s indebtedness could limit its ability to: (i) obtain additional financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures or debt service or other requirements; and (ii) use operating cash flow to make certain acquisitions or investments, in the event a default has occurred or, in certain circumstances, if its leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility and Term Loan) exceeds the ratios set forth in the Term Loan. There were no such limitations at March 31,
34
2021. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets caused by COVID-19 or otherwise.
The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, available borrowings under the Credit Facility and expected positive cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and investing and other commitments, for the foreseeable future.
At March 31, 2021, IAC held all Class B shares of Angi Inc., which represent 84.2% of the economic interest and 98.2% of the voting interest of the Company. As a result, IAC has the ability to control Angi Inc.’s financing activities, including the issuance of additional debt and equity securities by Angi Inc. or any of its subsidiaries, or the incurrence of other indebtedness generally. While Angi Inc. is expected to have the ability to access debt and equity markets if needed, such transactions may require the approval of IAC due to its control of the majority of the outstanding voting power of Angi Inc.’s capital stock and its representation on the Angi Inc. board of directors. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.
35
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
36
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
37
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are (or may become) parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is currently a party to any legal proceedings, the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require the description of material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary, routine litigation incident to the registrant’s business) and advise that proceedings ordinarily need not be described if they primarily involve damages claims for amounts (exclusive of interest and costs) not exceeding 10% of the current assets of the registrant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In the judgment of Company management, none of the pending litigation matters which we are defending, including the one described below, involves or is likely to involve amounts of that magnitude. The litigation matter described below involves issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether this matter may be material to our financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FTC Investigation of Certain HomeAdvisor Business Practices
On April 19, 2021, the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) informed HomeAdvisor that upon investigation it believes that certain of the company’s business practices relating to leads provided to service professionals and its mHelpDesk product are unfair or deceptive in violation of the FTC Act. The staff proposed to resolve its potential claims via a consent judgment mandating certain business practice changes (and an unspecified payment amount) and invited the company to engage in settlement discussions to resolve the matter. While HomeAdvisor believes that any such claims would be without merit and is prepared to defend vigorously against any enforcement proceeding, the company has opened a dialogue with the staff to discuss the matter.
Service Professional Class Action Litigation against HomeAdvisor
This purported class action pending in Colorado is described in detail on page 27 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. See Airquip, Inc. et al. v. HomeAdvisor, Inc. et al., No. l:16-cv-1849 and Costello et al. v. HomeAdvisor, Inc. et al., No. 1:18-cv-1802, both filed in U.S. District Court in Colorado and consolidated under the caption In re HomeAdvisor, Inc. Litigation. This lawsuit alleges that our HomeAdvisor business engages in certain deceptive practices affecting the service professionals who join its network, including charging them for substandard customer leads or failing to disclose certain charges. There have been no material or otherwise noteworthy developments in this case since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to the Company’s future financial performance, business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in home services industry and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on Company management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our businesses, (ii) our ability to compete, (iii) the failure or delay of the home services market to migrate online, (iv) adverse economic events or trends (particularly those that adversely impact consumer confidence and spending behavior), (v) our ability to establish and maintain relationships with quality service professionals, (vi) our ability to build, maintain and/or enhance our various brands, (vii) our ability to market our various products and services in a successful and cost-effective manner, (viii) the continued display of links to websites offering our products and services in a prominent manner in search results, (ix) our continued ability to communicate with consumers and service professionals via e-mail (or other sufficient means), (x) our ability to access, share and use personal data about consumers, (xi) our ability to develop and monetize versions of our products and services for mobile and other digital devices, (xii) any challenge to the contractor classification or employment status of our Handy service professionals, (xiii) our ability to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks and to protect personal and confidential user information, (xiv) the occurrence of data security breaches, fraud and/or additional regulation involving or impacting credit card payments, (xv) the integrity, efficiency and scalability of our technology systems and infrastructures (and those of third parties with whom we do business), (xvi) operational and financial risks relating to acquisitions and the integration of suitable targets, (xvii) our ability to operate (and expand into) international markets successfully, (xviii) our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights and not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, (xix) changes in key personnel, (xx) various risks related to our relationship with IAC and (xxi) various risks related to our outstanding indebtedness.
Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in our filings with the SEC, including in Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of Company management as of the date of this quarterly report. We do not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
Risk Factors
Our changes in executive management may not result in growth of our business or enhance stockholder value, and our transition to a new Chief Executive Officer and search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer may not be successful.
On December 9, 2020, the Company announced the resignation of Jamie Cohen, Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of Glenn H. Schiffman as Interim Chief Financial Officer, while the Company initiated a national search for a permanent replacement. Craig Smith’s resignation from the Board and as Chief Operating Officer became effective on December 18, 2020. On February 24, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Oisin Hanrahan as Chief Executive Officer, following the resignation of William B. Ridenour and Allison Lowrie, Chief Marketing Officer. Our executive management team is critical to the overall management of the Company and also plays a key role in maintaining our culture and setting our strategic direction. These recent changes in our executive management and composition of the Board, may cause or result in: disruption of our business and operations; difficulty recruiting, hiring, motivating and retaining talented and skilled personnel; departures of other members of management; increased stock price volatility; and difficulty in establishing, maintaining or negotiating business or strategic relationships or transactions. Furthermore, the transition to a new Chief Executive Officer and permanent Chief Financial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer could be a distraction to our executive management, business operations, service professionals and customers. The search could also result in significant recruiting and relocation costs. If we fail to successfully and timely attract and appoint executive officers with the appropriate level of expertise, we could experience adverse impacts on our business and results of operations.
40
Our Angi brand integration initiative may involve substantial costs, including as a result of a continued negative impact on our organic search placement, and may not be favorably received by customers and service professionals.
On March 17, 2021, our Company updated one of its leading websites and brands, Angie’s List, to Angi, and began concentrating its marketing investment in the Angi brand in order to focus our marketing, sales, and branding efforts on a single brand.
We may incur substantial costs as a result of our brand integration initiative and may not be able to achieve or maintain brand name recognition or status that is comparable to the recognition and status previously enjoyed by Angie’s List, and our customers and service professionals may be confused as we transition and focus on the Angi brand as against our other brands. Our Company relies heavily on free and paid search engine marketing efforts to drive traffic to our properties, which has been adversely affected by this initiative. Specifically, our brand initiative has adversely affected the placement and ranking of Angi Inc. websites, particularly Angi.com, in organic search results as Angi does not have the same domain history as Angie’s List. In addition, we shifted marketing to support Angi, away from HomeAdvisor, which has negatively affected the efficiency of our search engine marketing efforts, and which in turn reduced revenue and increased marketing spend that is expected to result in lower profits for the quarter ending June 30, 2021. This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of 2021 (and potentially into 2022), with the most significant impact expected in the second quarter of 2021. Any or all of these impacts could continue to increase our marketing costs (particularly if free traffic is replaced with paid traffic) and adversely affect the effectiveness of our marketing efforts overall. Finally, as we align and focus the organization around a single brand, we could experience financial and operational challenges, including a distracted salesforce and reduced service professional participation across our various product lines. Depending on market acceptance, our brand integration initiative could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers and service professionals, which could cause us not to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits contemplated by the brand integration initiative.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The employee matters agreement dated as of September 29, 2017, by and between us and IAC, provides, among other things, that we will reimburse IAC for the cost of certain equity awards held by our current and former employees and that IAC may elect to receive payment either in cash or shares of our Class B common stock.
Pursuant to the employee matters agreement, 2,579,264 shares of Class A common stock and 96,031 shares of Class B common stock were issued to IAC on March 31, 2021 as reimbursement for shares of IAC common stock issued in connection with the settlement of certain equity awards held by our employees during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This issuance did not involve any underwriters or public offerings and we believe that such issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
