NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
MTCH Separation:
On December 19, 2019, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("Old IAC") entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended, the "Transaction Agreement") with Match Group, Inc. ("Old MTCH"), IAC Holdings, Inc. ("New IAC" or the "Company"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Old IAC, and Valentine Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Old IAC. On June 30, 2020, the businesses of Old MTCH were separated from the remaining businesses of Old IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) Old IAC, which was renamed Match Group, Inc. ("New Match") and which owns the businesses of Old MTCH and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp, and which owns Old IAC's other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old MTCH (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match. This transaction is referred to as the "MTCH Separation."
Spin-off:
On December 22, 2020, IAC announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off its full stake in Vimeo to IAC shareholders. IAC's Vimeo business will be separated from the remaining businesses of IAC through a series of transactions (which we refer to as the "Spin-off") that, if completed in their entirety, will result in the transfer of IAC's Vimeo business to Vimeo Holdings, Inc. ("SpinCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC, with SpinCo becoming an independent, separately traded public company through a spin-off from IAC, and Vimeo, Inc., the IAC subsidiary that currently holds the Vimeo business, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpinCo. In connection with the foregoing, SpinCo will be renamed as Vimeo, Inc. and Vimeo will be renamed as Vimeo.com, Inc. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions including final approval by IAC's Board of Directors, approval of the separation proposal by IAC stockholders, and other customary conditions and approvals and is expected to close pre-market on May 25, 2021.
Nature of Operations
The Company operates Vimeo, Dotdash and Care.com, among many others, and has majority ownership of Angi Inc. (formerly ANGI Homeservices Inc.), which includes HomeAdvisor, Angi (formerly Angie's List) and Handy.
Basis of Presentation
As used herein, "IAC," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" and similar terms refer to IAC/InterActiveCorp and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
The Company prepares its consolidated and combined financial statements (collectively referred to herein as "financial statements") in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The Company's financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis beginning June 30, 2020 and on a combined basis for periods prior thereto. The difference in presentation is due to the fact that the final steps of the legal reorganization, including the contribution to New IAC of all the entities that comprise the Company following the MTCH Separation, were not completed until June 30, 2020. The preparation of the financial statements on a combined basis for periods prior to June 30, 2020 allows for the financial statements to be presented on a consistent basis for all periods presented.
The historical combined financial statements of the Company have been derived from the historical accounting records of Old IAC. The combined financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the entities comprising the Company since their respective dates of acquisition by Old IAC and the allocation to the Company of certain Old IAC corporate expenses based on the historical accounting records of Old IAC through June 30, 2020. 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. For the purpose of the combined financial statements, income taxes have been computed as if the entities comprising the Company filed tax returns on a standalone, separate basis for periods prior to the MTCH Separation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
All intercompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between (i) the Company and (ii) Old IAC and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the MTCH Separation are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the statement of parent's equity as "Invested capital".
In management’s opinion, the assumptions underlying the historical financial statements of the Company, including the basis on which the expenses have been allocated from Old IAC, are reasonable. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses that the Company would have incurred as an independent, stand-alone company for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited 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 and Impairments
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 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 for certain of our businesses, 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 the businesses in IAC's Angi Inc. segment in March 2020, these businesses 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, these businesses 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. These businesses 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 the ability of these businesses to monetize this increased level of service requests. Vimeo has seen strong revenue growth as the demand for communication via video has increased due to the pandemic. The Search segment has experienced an increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year due, in part, to lower advertising rates in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. COVID-19 impacted our businesses in varied ways in the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the volatile nature of our operating results in 2020 will impact the comparability of our year-over-year results of operations.
There were no impairments identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the effects of COVID-19 were an indicator of possible impairment for certain of its assets and identified the following impairments:
a $212.0 million impairment related to the goodwill of the Desktop reporting unit (included in the Search segment);
a $21.4 million impairment related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Desktop reporting unit;
a $51.5 million impairment of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values; and
a $7.5 million impairment of a note receivable and a warrant related to certain investees.
In addition, the United States, which represents 80% of the Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 experienced another resurgence of the COVID-19 virus. Europe, which is the second largest market for the Company's products and services, has also seen a resurgence in COVID-19. This resurgence of COVID-19 and the measures designed to curb COVID-19's spread could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its 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 assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable debt and equity securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the determination of revenue reserves; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the carrying value of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets"); the useful lives and recoverability of building, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; contingencies; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements; 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, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
Accounting for Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities, other than those of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries and those accounted for under the equity method, if applicable, are accounted for at fair value or under the measurement alternative of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, with any changes to fair value recognized within other income (expense), net each reporting period. Under the measurement alternative, equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities of the same issuer; value is generally determined based on a market approach as of the transaction date. A security will be considered identical or similar if it has identical or similar rights to the equity securities held by the Company. The Company reviews its investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values for impairment each reporting period when there are qualitative factors or events that indicate possible impairment. Factors the Company considers in making this determination include negative changes in industry and market conditions, financial performance, business prospects, and other relevant events and factors. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company prepares quantitative assessments of the fair value of its investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When the Company's assessment indicates that the fair value of the investment is below its carrying value, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value and records the corresponding charge within other income (expense), net. See "Note 4—Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" for additional information on the impairments of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In the event the Company has investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying balance sheet. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has one investment accounted for using the equity method.
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.
The Company's disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in "Note 8—Segment Information."
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances are $275.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020, and $178.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $131.8 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 $90.9 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances are $297.6 million and $1.6 million, at March 31, 2021, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the accompanying balance sheet.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU No. 2014-09, 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 it has the right to invoice for services performed.
Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The Company has determined that certain costs, primarily commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs and mobile app store fees, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract. Commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period. The Company calculates the estimated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. 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 Company generally capitalizes and amortizes mobile app store fees over the term of the applicable subscription.
The current and non-current capitalized costs to obtain a contract with a customer are included in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying balance sheet and are $61.6 million and $10.0 million, and $61.5 million and $9.3 million, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue (and a substantial portion of IAC's net cash from operations that it can freely access) is attributable to the Services Agreement. In addition, the Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total revenue earned from Google was $171.8 million and $138.9 million, respectively, representing 20% of the Company's revenue for both periods. The related accounts receivable totaled $66.2 million and $61.9 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The total revenue earned from the Services Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $152.5 million and $126.6 million, respectively, representing 17% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business and Ask Media Group, both within the Search segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue earned from the Services Agreement was $31.0 million and $46.1 million, respectively, within the Desktop business and $121.4 million and $80.5 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group.
The Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2023; provided that during each September, either party may, after discussion with the other party, terminate the Services Agreement, effective on September 30 of the year following the year such notice is given. Neither party gave notice to the other party to terminate the Services Agreement pursuant to this provision in September 2020. The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates have in the past and could in the future require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which have been and could be costly to address and have had or otherwise could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As described below, Google has made changes to the policies under the Services Agreement and has also made industry-wide changes that have negatively impacted the Desktop business and it may do so in the future.
Certain industry-wide policy changes became effective on August 27, 2020. These industry-wide changes, combined with increased enforcement of policies under the Services Agreement, have had a negative impact on the results of operations of Desktop's business-to-consumer ("B2C") business. In addition, at multiple times during the fourth quarter of 2020, Google suspended services with respect to some of Desktop's B2C products and may do so in the future. As a result, the Desktop B2C business elected to modify certain marketing strategies in early January 2021. Subsequently, Google informed us of another policy change in the first quarter of 2021 that is scheduled to go into effect on May 10, 2021. This Google policy change may eliminate our ability to successfully introduce and market new products that would be profitable at scale. Therefore, the Desktop B2C business substantially reduced marketing in early March 2021 and effectively eliminated all marketing of its B2C products by the end of the first quarter of 2021. This reduction in marketing will positively impact profitability in 2021 but will substantially reduce revenue in 2021. Beyond 2021, the revenue from the installed base of products will decline precipitously. In response, we have undertaken cost reduction measures to maintain a very modest level of profitability.
The reduction in revenue and profitability during the three months ended March 31, 2020 due, in part, to Google policy changes implemented in the second half of 2019 was the primary factor in the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments related to the Desktop business recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $212.0 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The impact of COVID-19 was an additional factor.
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 was included within Old IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings through June 30, 2020, the date of the MTCH Separation. For periods prior thereto, the income tax benefit/provision were computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from Old IAC for the Company’s share of Old 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 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 in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $48.8 million, due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by state taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $41.4 million, due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by the non-deductible portion of the Desktop goodwill impairment.
As a result of the MTCH Separation, the Company's net deferred tax liability was adjusted via invested capital for tax attributes allocated to it from Old IAC's consolidated federal and state tax filings. The allocation of tax attributes that was recorded as of June 30, 2020 was preliminary. Any subsequent adjustment to allocated tax attributes will be recorded as an adjustment to deferred taxes and additional paid-in capital. This adjustment is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2021 following the filing of income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Accruals for interest and penalties are not material.
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 Old IAC and will be under audit for its tax returns filed on a standalone basis following the MTCH Separation. 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 Old IAC’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2017, which includes the operations of the Company. The statute 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 tax years beginning with 2009. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the 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 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.

(Unaudited)
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are $23.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 2021 increased by $1.3 million due primarily to research credits. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021 are subsequently recognized, $21.4 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2020 was $20.4 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $6.3 million by March 31, 2022, due to expirations of statutes of limitations or other settlements; $6.0 million of which would reduce the income tax provision.
NOTE 3—BUSINESS COMBINATION
On February 11, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of Care.com, the leading online destination for families to easily connect with caregivers, for a total purchase price of $626.9 million, which includes cash consideration of $587.0 million paid by the Company and the settlement of all outstanding vested employee equity awards for $40.0 million paid by Care.com prior to the completion of the acquisition. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed the purchase accounting for the Care.com acquisition, which resulted in a reduction in goodwill of $21.7 million. The primary adjustment was related to the completion of the assessment of acquired tax attributes.

Accounts receivable, other current assets, other non-current assets, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities of Care.com were reviewed and adjusted to their fair values at the date of acquisition, as necessary. The fair value of deferred revenue was determined using an income approach that utilized a cost to fulfill analysis. The fair values of the trade name and developed technology were determined using an income approach that utilized the relief from royalty methodology. The fair values of customer relationships and provider relationships were determined using an income approach that utilized the excess earnings methodology. The valuations of the intangible assets incorporate significant unobservable inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and the determination of royalty and discount rates. The amount attributed to goodwill is not tax deductible.
The financial results of Care.com are included in the Company's financial statements, within the Emerging & Other segment, beginning February 11, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company included $18.5 million of revenue and $12.3 million of net loss in its statement of operations related to Care.com. The net loss of Care.com reflects a reduction in revenue of $8.7 million due to the write-off of deferred revenue due to purchase accounting fair value adjustments and $4.8 million in transaction-related costs, including severance.

Equity Method Investment
During the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, the Company acquired 0.3 million and 0.5 million common shares, respectively, of Turo Inc. ("Turo"), a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, for approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting on a one quarter lag, given the Company's preexisting ownership interest of approximately 27.1% on a fully diluted basis in the form of preferred shares, which are not common stock equivalents.
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.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Contingent Consideration Arrangement
At March 31, 2021, the Company has one outstanding contingent consideration arrangement related to a business acquisition. The maximum contingent payments related to this arrangement for periods subsequent to December 31, 2020, which is the end of the most recent measurement period, is $15.0 million. At March 31, 2021, the Company does not expect to make any payments related to this contingent consideration arrangement. In connection with the Care.com acquisition on February 11, 2020, the Company assumed a contingent consideration arrangement liability of $1.0 million, which was subsequently paid and settled during the first quarter of 2020.
Generally, our contingent consideration arrangements are based upon financial performance and/or operating metric targets and the Company generally determines the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements by using probability-weighted analyses to determine the amounts of the gross liability, and, if the arrangements are initially long-term in nature, applying a discount rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligations to determine the net amount reflected in the financial statements.
The fair value of contingent consideration arrangements is sensitive to changes in the expected achievement of the applicable targets and changes in discount rates. The Company remeasures the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements each reporting period, including the accretion of the discount, if applicable, and changes are recognized in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying statement of operations. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there is no contingent consideration liability outstanding.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets and building, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The Company's financial assets, comprising equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

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 ANGI Group 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 the 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 ANGI Group 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 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.

Vimeo Credit Facility
On February 12, 2021, Vimeo entered into a $100 million revolving credit facility (the "Vimeo Credit Facility"), which expires on February 12, 2026. Any borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility are guaranteed by Vimeo's wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, if any, and are secured by substantially all assets of Vimeo and any guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The commitment fee, which is based on the consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and the average daily dollar amount of the available revolving commitment, was 20 basis points at March 31, 2021. Any borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility would bear interest, at Vimeo's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on Vimeo’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The financial covenants require Vimeo to maintain a minimum liquidity of not less than $50.0 million until December 31, 2022, and, thereafter, at the end of each quarterly test period, a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) of not more than 5.5 to 1.0. The Vimeo Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that would limit Vimeo’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions on or repurchase certain equity interests in the event a default has occurred or Vimeo’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0. At March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility.

NOTE 7—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company treats its common stock and Class B common stock as one class of stock for earnings per share ("EPS") purposes as both classes of stock participate in earnings, dividends and other distributions on the same basis. The restricted stock award granted to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") on November 5, 2020 is a participating security and the Company calculates EPS using the two-class method since those shares are unvested and have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend to common shareholders and participates in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shareholders.
Undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security is subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to IAC common stock and Class B common stock shareholders for basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to IAC common stock and Class B common stock shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period.
For the calculation of diluted EPS, net income attributable to IAC common stock and Class B common stock shareholders is adjusted for the impact from public subsidiaries’ dilutive securities, if applicable, and the reallocation of undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security by the weighted-average number of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities during the period.
The numerator and denominator of basic and diluted EPS computations for the Company’s common stock and Class B common stock are calculated as follows:

_____________________
(a)     On November 5, 2020, IAC's CEO was granted a stock-based award in the form of 3.0 million shares of restricted common stock. The number of shares that ultimately vest is subject to the satisfaction of growth targets in IAC's stock price over the 10-year service condition of the award. These restricted shares have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend to common shareholders and participates in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shareholders. Accordingly, the two-class method of calculating earnings per share is used. While the restricted shares are presented as outstanding shares in the consolidated balance sheet, these shares are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share and the allocable portion of net earnings are also excluded. Fully diluted earnings per share reflects the impact on earnings and fully diluted shares in the manner that is most dilutive.
(b)    The Company computed basic and diluted earnings per share for periods prior to the MTCH Separation using the shares issued on June 30, 2020 in connection with the MTCH Separation.
(c)    IAC has the option to settle certain Angi Inc. stock-based awards in its shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, it is more dilutive for IAC to settle these Angi Inc. equity awards. The impact on earnings relates to the settlement of Angi Inc.'s dilutive securities in IAC common shares.
(d)    If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and subsidiary denominated equity, vesting of restricted common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and market-based awards ("MSUs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 3.0 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 8—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. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they meet certain aggregation criteria, which principally relate to the similarity of their economic characteristics, which is the case for the Desktop and Ask Media Group operating segments in the Search reportable segment, or, in the case of the Emerging & Other reportable segment, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate reportable segments.

(d) The Company's primary financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. 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 10—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 also identified certain other legal matters where the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, 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.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation against IAC and MTCH
In August 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group’s Tinder business filed a lawsuit in New York state court against IAC and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme Court, New York County). The complaint alleges that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by two investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Match Group, thereby depriving the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand‑alone basis. The complaint asserts inter alia claims for breach of contract and interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. Shortly after filing suit, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs.
In October 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, including that the 2017 valuation of Tinder by the investment banks was an expert determination any challenge to which is time-barred under applicable law. In June 2019, the court issued a decision and order granting the motion in part but leaving the plaintiffs’ principal claims intact. The defendants appealed from the partial denial of their motion to dismiss, and in October 2019, the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the lower court’s decision. After additional appellate motion practice, in May 2020, the Appellate Division reaffirmed the lower court’s decision on different grounds. In June 2020, the defendants filed a motion for leave to appeal that decision to the Court of Appeals; the Appellate Division denied the motion in July 2020.
In June 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss or for other relief based upon certain provisions of the plaintiffs’ agreement with a litigation funding firm; the parties are currently supplementing their briefing on that motion, which remains pending. From July to November 2019, the defendants filed counterclaims against former Tinder CEO Sean Rad for breach of contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged misappropriation and unauthorized destruction of confidential company information, unauthorized recording of conversations with company employees, and breach of his non-solicitation obligations. In January 2020, the parties participated in a mediation that did not result in the resolution of the matter. Fact discovery in the case is substantially complete, and expert discovery is under way.
In July 2020, the four individuals who earlier had discontinued their claims in the lawsuit commenced arbitration proceedings against IAC and Match Group before the American Arbitration Association in California, asserting the same claims and seeking the same relief as the six remaining plaintiffs in the lawsuit. In September 2020, the defendants filed a motion to stay the trial in the New York lawsuit in favor of the California arbitration; in November 2020, the court denied the motion. In December 2020, the claimants in the California arbitration filed a motion to stay those proceedings in favor of the New York action, in which a trial has been provisionally scheduled for November 2021; in January 2021, the arbitrator denied the motion and provisionally scheduled a hearing on the merits for February 2022. In April 2021, the respondents in the California arbitration filed a motion for summary judgment dismissing the claimants' merger-related claims.
IAC believes that the allegations against it in the New York lawsuit and the California arbitration are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (as defined in Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-MTCH Separation ), Match Group has agreed to indemnify the Company for matters relating to any business of Match Group, including indemnifying the Company for costs related to the matter described above.
NOTE 11—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Old IAC prior to the MTCH Separation
The Company’s statement of operations includes allocations of costs, including stock-based compensation expense, related to Old IAC’s accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions prior to the MTCH Separation for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Old IAC historically allocated costs related to its accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions that were incurred at the Old IAC legal entity level to its publicly traded subsidiaries, Old MTCH and Angi Inc. for any services provided under the applicable services agreements. The remaining unallocated expenses of Old IAC related to its accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support and internal audit functions were allocated to the Company. Old IAC allocated costs to the Company, inclusive of stock-based compensation expense, which totaled $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. It is not practicable to determine the actual expenses that would have been incurred for these services had the Company operated as a standalone entity during the periods presented. Management considers the allocation method to be reasonable.
The portion of interest income reflected in the statement of operations that is related party in nature was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and is included in "Interest income, net" in the table below.
The following table summarizes the components of the net increase in Old IAC’s investment in the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

(Unaudited)
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of Angi Inc. Class B common stock were issued to a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the employee matters agreement as reimbursement for shares of IAC common stock, issued for periods after the MTCH Separation, and Old IAC common stock, issued for periods prior to the MTCH Separation, in connection with the exercise and vesting of IAC and Old IAC equity awards held by Angi Inc. employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 2.6 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock were issued to a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the employee matters agreement as reimbursement for IAC common stock, issued in connection with the exercise and settlement of certain Angi Inc. stock appreciation rights. There were no shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock issued to IAC during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, Angi Inc. was charged $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, by IAC and Old IAC, respectively, for services rendered pursuant to the services agreement. At March 31, 2021, Angi Inc. had outstanding payables of less than $0.1 million due to the Company, pursuant to the services agreement. There were no outstanding receivables or payables pursuant to the services agreement as of December 31, 2020.
At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Angi Inc. had outstanding payables of $0.9 million due to the Company pursuant to the tax sharing agreement. There were no payments to or refunds from Angi Inc. pursuant to this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Additionally, the Company subleases office space from Angi Inc. and was charged $0.4 million of rent for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. At March 31, 2021 there were no outstanding payables due to Angi Inc. pursuant to the sublease agreements. At December 31, 2020, there was an outstanding payable of less than $0.1 million due to Angi Inc. pursuant to sublease agreements, which was subsequently paid in full in the first quarter of 2021.
IAC and Old MTCH
Prior to the MTCH Separation, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, Old MTCH incurred rent expense of $0.8 million for leasing office space for certain of its businesses at properties owned by the Company. The amount was paid in full by Old MTCH at March 31, 2020. After June 30, 2020, the date of the MTCH Separation, Match Group is no longer a related party.
On January 31, 2020, Old IAC contributed two office buildings in Los Angeles to Old MTCH, which are primarily occupied and were previously leased from the Company by Tinder. In connection with this contribution, the Company entered into a lease with Old MTCH for office space, which the Company currently occupies, in one of the buildings and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid Old MTCH less than $0.1 million under the lease. Old MTCH issued 1.4 million shares of Old MTCH common stock to Old IAC for the buildings.
IAC and Expedia
The Company and Expedia each have a 50% ownership interest in two aircraft that may be used by both companies. In 2019, the Company and Expedia entered into an agreement to jointly acquire a new corporate aircraft for a total expected cost of $72.7 million (including purchase price and related costs), with each company to bear 50% of such expected cost. The Company paid approximately $23 million in 2019 in connection with the purchase agreement, and the respective share of the balance is due upon delivery of the new aircraft, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021. Members of the aircraft flight crews are employed by an entity in which the Company and Expedia each have a 50% ownership interest. The Company and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits pro-rata according to each company’s respective usage of the aircraft, for which they are separately billed by the entity described above. The Company and Expedia are related parties because Mr. Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both IAC and Expedia. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total payments made to this entity by the Company were not material.
NOTE 12—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As of May 6, 2021, the outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan of $213.1 million was repaid in its entirety.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL
MTCH Separation:
On December 19, 2019, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("Old IAC") entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended, the "Transaction Agreement") with Match Group, Inc. ("Old MTCH"), IAC Holdings, Inc. ("New IAC" or the "Company"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Old IAC, and Valentine Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Old IAC. On June 30, 2020, the businesses of Old MTCH were separated from the remaining businesses of Old IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) Old IAC, which was renamed Match Group, Inc. ("New Match") and which owns the businesses of Old MTCH and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp, and which owns Old IAC's other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old MTCH (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match. This transaction is referred to as the "MTCH Separation."
Spin-off:
On December 22, 2020, IAC announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off its full stake in Vimeo to IAC shareholders. IAC's Vimeo business will be separated from the remaining businesses of IAC through a series of transactions (which we refer to as the "Spin-off") that, if completed in their entirety, will result in the transfer of IAC's Vimeo business to Vimeo Holdings, Inc. ("SpinCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC, with SpinCo becoming an independent, separately traded public company through a spin-off from IAC, and Vimeo, Inc., the IAC subsidiary that currently holds the Vimeo business, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpinCo. In connection with the foregoing, SpinCo will be renamed as Vimeo, Inc. and Vimeo will be renamed as Vimeo.com, Inc. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions including final approval by IAC's Board of Directors, approval of the separation proposal by IAC stockholders, and other customary conditions and approvals and is expected to close pre-market on May 25, 2021.
Management Overview
The Company operates Vimeo, Dotdash and Care.com, among many others, and has majority ownership of Angi Inc. (formerly ANGI Homeservices Inc.), which includes HomeAdvisor, Angi (formerly Angie's List) and Handy.

See "Principles of Financial Reporting" for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to IAC shareholders to operating loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Angi Inc.'s Brand Integration Initiative
On March 17, 2021, Angi Inc. 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 Angi Inc. will concentrate its marketing investment in the Angi brand in order to focus its marketing, sales and branding efforts on a single brand.
Angi Inc. relies heavily on free and paid search engine marketing efforts to drive traffic to its properties, which has been adversely affected by this initiative. Specifically, the 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, Angi Inc. shifted marketing to support Angi, away from HomeAdvisor, which has negatively affected the efficiency of its search engine marketing efforts.
These efforts have had a pronounced negative impact on Marketplace Service Requests from organic search results, and reduced monetization via its 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 Angi Inc. expects to result in lower profits in the quarter ending June 30, 2021. Angi Inc. expects this trend to continue until such time as the new brand establishes search engine optimization ranking and consumer awareness is established. Angi Inc. expects the reduction in revenue, 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. Angi Inc. has also increased its investment in Angi Services, its pre-priced product offering, which will reduce profits more than planned during 2021.
Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue (and a substantial portion of IAC's net cash from operations that it can freely access) is attributable to the Services Agreement. In addition, the Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total revenue earned from Google was $171.8 million and $138.9 million, respectively, representing 20% of the Company's revenue for both periods. The related accounts receivable totaled $66.2 million and $61.9 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The total revenue earned from the Services Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $152.5 million and $126.6 million, respectively, representing 17% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
38

Table of Contents

The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business and Ask Media Group, both within the Search segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue earned from the Services Agreement was $31.0 million and $46.1 million, respectively, within the Desktop business and $121.4 million and $80.5 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group.
The Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2023; provided that during each September, either party may, after discussion with the other party, terminate the Services Agreement, effective on September 30 of the year following the year such notice is given. Neither party gave notice to the other party to terminate the Services Agreement pursuant to this provision in September 2020. The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates have in the past and could in the future require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which have been and could be costly to address and have had or otherwise could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As described below, Google has made changes to the policies under the Services Agreement and has also made industry-wide changes that have negatively impacted the Desktop business and it may do so in the future.
Certain industry-wide policy changes became effective on August 27, 2020. These industry-wide changes, combined with increased enforcement of policies under the Services Agreement, have had a negative impact on the results of operations of Desktop's business-to-consumer ("B2C") business. In addition, at multiple times during the fourth quarter of 2020, Google suspended services with respect to some of Desktop's B2C products and may do so in the future. As a result, the Desktop B2C business elected to modify certain marketing strategies in early January 2021. Subsequently, Google informed us of another policy change in the first quarter of 2021 that is scheduled to go into effect on May 10, 2021. This Google policy change may eliminate our ability to successfully introduce and market new products that would be profitable at scale. Therefore, the Desktop B2C business substantially reduced marketing in early March 2021 and effectively eliminated all marketing of its B2C products by the end of the first quarter of 2021. This reduction in marketing will positively impact profitability in 2021 but will substantially reduce revenue in 2021. Beyond 2021, the revenue from the installed base of products will decline precipitously. In response, we have undertaken cost reduction measures to maintain a very modest level of profitability.
The reduction in revenue and profitability during the three months ended March 31, 2020 due, in part, to Google policy changes implemented in the second half of 2019 was the primary factor in the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments related to the Desktop business recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $212.0 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The impact of COVID-19 was an additional factor.
COVID-19 Update and Impairments
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 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 for certain of our businesses, 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.

Table of Contents

When COVID-19 first impacted the businesses in IAC's Angi Inc. segment in March 2020, these businesses 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, these businesses 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. These businesses 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 the ability of these businesses to monetize this increased level of service requests. Vimeo has seen strong revenue growth as the demand for communication via video has increased due to the pandemic. The Search segment has experienced an increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year due, in part, to lower advertising rates in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. COVID-19 impacted our businesses in varied ways in the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the volatile nature of our operating results in 2020 will impact the comparability of our year-over-year results of operations.
There were no impairments identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the effects of COVID-19 were an indicator of possible impairment for certain of its assets and identified the following impairments:
a $212.0 million impairment related to the goodwill of the Desktop reporting unit;
a $21.4 million impairment related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Desktop reporting unit;
a $51.5 million impairment of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values; and
a $7.5 million impairment of a note receivable and a warrant related to certain investees.
In addition, the United States, which represents 80% of the Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, experienced another resurgence of the COVID-19 virus. Europe, which is the second largest market for the Company's products and services, has also seen a resurgence in COVID-19. This resurgence of COVID-19 and the measures designed to curb COVID-19's spread could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Angi Inc. revenue increased 13% to $387.0 million driven by Marketplace Revenue growth of $32.3 million, or 12%, growth of $6.5 million, or 33%, at the European businesses and an increase of $4.6 million, or 7%, in Advertising and Other Revenue. The increase in Marketplace Revenue was 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 revenue increase at the European businesses was 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 British Pound. Advertising and Other Revenue increased due primarily to an increase in Angi revenue driven by an 6% increase in Advertising SPs to 40 thousand.
Vimeo revenue grew 57% to $89.4 million driven primarily by a 25% increase in Average Subscribers to 1.6 million and a 27% increase in ARPU to $233. The growth in Average Subscribers is due to an increase in self-serve and enterprise customers as individuals, businesses and organizations accelerated their adoption of video to communicate with their customers and employees due, in part, to the effects of COVID-19. ARPU increased as a greater percentage of both new and existing self-serve subscribers purchased, on average, higher-priced offerings that include features, such as additional storage and bandwidth, video creation and editing tools and live streaming capability. The growth in enterprise customers, whose average annual contract values are much greater, also contributed to ARPU growth.
Dotdash revenue increased 48% to $65.4 million due to growth of $14.0 million, or 99%, in Performance Marketing Revenue and $7.3 million, or 24%, higher Display Advertising Revenue. The growth in Performance Marketing Revenue was due primarily to growth in both affiliate commerce commission revenue and performance marketing commission revenue due to increased online sales and new performance marketing products. The increase in Display Advertising Revenue was driven by an increase in advertising sold through our sales team.
Search revenue increased 17% to $181.0 million due to an increase of $42.9 million, or 43%, from Ask Media Group, partially offset by a decrease of $16.3 million, or 30%, from Desktop. The increase in Ask Media Group revenue was due to growth in paid traffic. The decrease in Desktop revenue was driven by increasing challenges in monetization and the reduced marketing of its B2C products in the first quarter of 2021 due to browser policy changes implemented by Google.
Emerging & Other revenue increased 80% to $153.2 million due primarily to the full quarter contribution of Care.com, acquired February 11, 2020, the addition of Lifecare, acquired by Care.com in October 2020, and an increase in revenue from IAC Films.

Cost of revenue in 2021 increased from 2020 due to increases of $24.8 million from Search, $20.6 million from Angi Inc., $11.6 million from Emerging & Other and $6.6 million from Vimeo.
The Search increase was primarily due to an increase of $26.5 million in traffic acquisition costs at Ask Media Group resulting from the increase in revenue.
The Angi Inc. increase was due primarily to growth of Angi Services (the pre-priced product offerings), which has lower margins than other sources of revenue.
The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $10.2 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com for a full quarter and from the acquisition of Lifecare.
The Vimeo increase was due primarily to increases of $3.6 million in hosting fees and $2.4 million in credit card processing fees and in-app purchase fees. The increase in hosting fees was due to the increase in Average Subscribers, partially offset by cost optimization initiatives. The increase in credit card processing fees and in-app purchase fees was due primarily to an increase in Average Subscribers and growth in on-demand content transactions.

The Angi Inc. increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $8.5 million, advertising expense of $5.9 million and outsourced personnel and consulting costs of $2.6 million. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to increased commission expense and an increase in sales force headcount, partially offset by lower compensation expense in France due to headcount reductions in the third quarter of 2020. 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 at Angi Services.
The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $10.3 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com for a full quarter and from the acquisition of Lifecare.
The Vimeo increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $3.4 million and advertising costs of $2.9 million. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to growth in the enterprise sales force.
The Dotdash increase was due primarily to increases in compensation expense of $1.9 million and online advertising expense of $1.8 million. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to higher headcount.

The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to $8.2 million of expense from the inclusion of Care.com for a full quarter and from the acquisition of Lifecare and the inclusion in 2020 of income of $6.3 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments due to the decrease in the expected amount of contingent consideration to be paid out in connection with a previous Mosaic Group acquisition.
The Corporate increase was due primarily to an increase of $7.3 million in stock-based compensation expense due to the issuance of new grants since 2020, partially offset by a decrease in transaction-related costs ($7.6 million related to the MTCH Separation in 2020 compared to $4.1 million in connection with the Spin-off in 2021).
The Angi Inc. decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $14.0 million in compensation expense, partially offset by increases in professional fees of $3.6 million and $1.3 million in the provision for credit losses. The decrease in compensation expense was due primarily to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $22.9 million, partially offset by a $6.0 million charge related to the acquisition of an additional 21% interest in MyBuilder at a premium to fair value and an increase of $2.8 million in wage related expenses resulting primarily from annual wage increases. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to $11.9 million in stock appreciation rights expense recognized in the first quarter of 2020 which was not incurred in 2021 as the awards became fully vested in 2020 and 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. The increase in professional fees was due primarily to an increase in outsourced personnel costs and legal fees. The increase in outsourced personnel costs was due primarily to an increase in call volume related to Angi Inc.'s customer service function. The increase in provision for credit losses was driven by higher Marketplace Revenue.

Operating loss decreased $300.5 million to a loss of $11.8 million due primarily to the inclusion in 2020 of a goodwill impairment of $212.0 million and $21.4 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments at Search related to the Desktop business, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $57.1 million, described below, and decreases of $14.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, $5.6 million in amortization of intangibles, excluding the Desktop impairment noted above, and the inclusion in 2020 of $6.3 million of income in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in depreciation. The goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments are described above in "Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")." The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to factors described above in the general and administrative expense discussion. The overall decrease in amortization of intangibles of $27.0 million was due principally to the inclusion in 2020 of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments related to the Desktop business noted above and certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during 2020, partially offset by an increase in amortization related to recent acquisitions (Care.com and Lifecare). The increase in depreciation was due primarily to investments in capitalized software to support Angi Inc.'s products and services.
At March 31, 2021, there was $441.4 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 5.8 years.

Angi Inc. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 33% to $23.2 million, despite higher revenue, due primarily to an increase in cost of revenue, an increase in compensation expense due to increased commission expense and headcount, a $6.0 million charge related to the acquisition of an additional 21% interest in MyBuilder at a premium to fair value, $4.0 million in expense related to impairments at the Fixd Services business and from management changes in the first quarter of 2021, and an increase of $1.3 million in provision for credit losses due to higher Marketplace Revenue.
Vimeo Adjusted EBITDA improved $13.2 million to $1.8 million from a loss of $11.4 million due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense due primarily to an increase in headcount and an increase in professional fees, including costs related to the Spin-off, and higher advertising costs.
Dotdash Adjusted EBITDA increased 184% to $19.9 million due primarily to higher revenue and a decrease in the provision for credit losses which had had been established in the first quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19, partially offset by increases in compensation expense, expense for third-party contractors and advertising expense.
Search Adjusted EBITDA increased 40% to $18.4 million due to an increase in Ask Media Group revenue and the decrease of $15.2 million in marketing at Desktop as we substantially reduced marketing of its B2C products in early March 2021 as a result of Google policy changes.
Emerging & Other Adjusted EBITDA increased $31.9 million to $12.0 million from a loss of $20.0 million due primarily to increased revenue at Care.com, $13.5 million in transaction-related items in 2020 from the Care.com acquisition (including $8.7 million in deferred revenue write-offs and $4.8 million in transaction-related costs) and higher profits at IAC Films.

In 2021, the income tax provision represented an effective tax rate of 13%. The effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by state taxes.
In 2020, the income tax benefit represented an effective tax rate of 11%. The effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the non-deductible portion of the Desktop goodwill impairment charge and unbenefited losses related to other investment impairments, partially offset by a revaluation of net operating loss deferred taxes due to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company reports 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. The Company endeavors 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 (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. 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 Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans and expense related to awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding amounts for net-settled awards from its current funds.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our building, 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.
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 technology, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base, memberships, trade names and content, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.
Gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are accounting adjustments to report contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business.

Cash Flow Information
In summary, IAC's cash flows are as follows:

     Investing activities$205,019 $(518,610)
     Financing activities$194,413 $1,671,816 
Net cash provided by operating activities consists of earnings adjusted for non-cash items, the effect of changes in working capital and acquisition-related contingent consideration payments (to the extent greater than the liability initially recognized at the time of acquisition). Non-cash adjustments include the unrealized gain on the investment in MGM, goodwill impairment, net (gains) losses on equity securities, deferred income taxes, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, provision for credit losses, and depreciation.
2021
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of $382.5 million of unrealized gain on the investment in MGM, partially offset by $47.2 million of deferred income taxes, $22.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $19.4 million of provision for credit losses, $19.3 million of depreciation, and $18.7 million of amortization of intangibles. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $42.8 million and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $8.5 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $28.3 million and a decrease in other assets of $11.7 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth at Angi Inc. and the timing of cash receipts at Mosaic. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due, in part, to a decrease in accrued employee compensation related to the payment of 2020 cash bonuses in 2021 and payment of commissions, partially offset by an increase in accrued advertising and related payables at Angi Inc. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at Care.com and Vimeo. The decrease in other assets is due primarily to decreases in capitalized downloadable search toolbar costs at Search and prepaid hosting services at Corporate and Angi Inc.
Net cash provided by investing activities includes maturities of marketable debt securities of $225.0 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $20.4 million, primarily related to investments in capitalized software at Angi Inc. to support its products and services, and purchases of long-term investments of $7.2 million, primarily related to Turo.
Net cash provided by financing activities includes $299.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 9.0 million shares of Vimeo Class A voting stock, partially offset by $48.2 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $23.0 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC 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 of the ANGI Group Term Loan required quarterly payment that was otherwise due in the first quarter of 2022, $4.9 million for the repurchase of 0.4 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $11.85 per share, and $1.4 million of debt issuance costs related to the Vimeo Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

2020
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of a $212.0 million goodwill impairment, $51.5 million of impairments of certain equity securities without readily determinable fair values, $45.8 million of amortization of intangibles, including impairments of $21.4 million, $37.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $19.9 million of provision for credit losses, and $15.5 million of depreciation, partially offset by $13.8 million of deferred income taxes. The deferred income tax benefit primarily relates to the net operating loss created in the first quarter, the tax benefit on intangible and goodwill impairments, and deferred taxes resulting from a true-up of a state tax rate, partially offset by adjustments pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $27.2 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $8.0 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $24.7 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth at Angi Inc. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due, in part, to a decrease in accrued employee compensation mainly related to the payment of 2019 cash bonuses in 2020, partially offset by an increase in accrued advertising and related payables at Angi Inc. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at Vimeo and Care.com.
Net cash used in investing activities includes cash used for acquisitions and investments of $532.9 million, principally related to the Care.com acquisition, and capital expenditures of $14.8 million, primarily related to investments at Angi Inc. in the development of capitalized software to support its products and services, and leasehold improvements, partially offset by a decrease in notes receivable—related party of $27.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities includes cash transfers of $1.7 billion from IAC pursuant to IAC's centrally managed U.S. treasury function, partially offset by $38.5 million for the repurchase of 5.2 million shares of Angi Inc. common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $7.43 per share, $3.4 million in principal payments on the ANGI Group Term Loan, and $3.2 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing Arrangements
The outstanding balance of the ANGI Group 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 ANGI Group Term Loan was repaid its entirety.
The 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 March 31, 2021. Borrowings under the ANGI Group Revolving 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.
The ANGI Group Credit Agreement contains covenants that would limit ANGI Group's ability to pay dividends or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or if ANGI Group's consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the ANGI Group Credit Agreement) exceeds 4.25 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at March 31, 2021. Any borrowings under the ANGI Group Credit Agreement 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.
On February 12, 2021, Vimeo entered into a $100 million revolving credit facility, which expires on February 12, 2026. Any borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility are guaranteed by Vimeo's wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, if any, and are secured by substantially all assets of Vimeo and any guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The commitment fee, which is based on the consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and the average daily dollar amount of the available revolving commitment, was 20 basis points at March 31, 2021. Any borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility would bear interest, at Vimeo's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on Vimeo's consolidated net leverage ratio. At March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Vimeo Credit Facility.
Share Repurchase Authorizations and Activity
At March 31, 2021 IAC has 8.0 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Angi Inc. repurchased 0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock, on a trade date basis, at an average price of $11.85 per share, or $4.9 million in aggregate. Angi Inc. has 18.9 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2021.
IAC and Angi Inc. may purchase their shares over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.
Outstanding Stock-based Awards
IAC and Angi Inc. may settle stock options, stock settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock on a gross or a net basis based upon factors deemed relevant at the time. To the extent that equity awards are settled on a net basis, the holders of the awards receive shares of IAC or Angi Inc., as applicable, with a value equal to the fair value of the award on the vest date for RSUs and restricted stock and with a value equal to the intrinsic value of the award upon exercise for stock options or stock settled appreciation rights less, in each case, an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment, which will be paid by IAC or Angi Inc., as applicable, on the employee's behalf. All awards are being settled currently on a net basis.
Certain previously issued Angi Inc. stock appreciation rights are settleable in either shares of Angi Inc. common stock or shares of IAC common stock at IAC's option. If settled in IAC common stock, Angi Inc. reimburses IAC in shares of Angi Inc.'s common stock.
The following table summarizes (i) the aggregate intrinsic value of IAC options, Angi Inc. options, Angi Inc. stock settled stock appreciation rights, IAC and Angi Inc. non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated stock settled stock appreciation rights and (ii) the aggregate fair value (based on stock prices as of April 30, 2021) of IAC and Angi Inc. RSUs and IAC restricted stock outstanding as of that date; 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:

_______________
(a)    The number of shares ultimately needed to settle these awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant subsidiary at the time of exercise. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.

(b)    Excludes the aggregate intrinsic value/fair value of Vimeo stock settled stock appreciation rights and RSUs. The aggregate intrinsic value/fair value of Vimeo outstanding awards as of April 30, 2021, assuming a per share price of $35.35, which is equal to the per share price of Vimeo based upon a $5.7 billion pre-money valuation, is $453.7 million. Of this amount, $154.3 million is attributable to currently vested awards. After the Spin-off, these awards will be settled in shares of SpinCo common stock. Vimeo management currently plans to require individual award holders to pay his or her share of the withholding tax obligation, which he or she will generally be able to do by selling SpinCo common shares (including a portion of the shares received in connection with the applicable exercise).
(c)    The Company has the discretion to settle these awards net of withholding tax and exercise price (which is represented in the table above) or settle on a gross basis and require the award holder to pay its share of the withholding tax, which he or she may do so by selling IAC common shares. Assuming all IAC stock options outstanding on April 30, 2021 were settled on a gross basis, i.e., through the issuance of a number of IAC common shares equal to the number of stock options exercised, the Company would have issued 3.8 million common shares and would have received $80.9 million in cash proceeds.
Upon completion of the Spin-off, each option to purchase shares of IAC common stock will convert into one option to purchase shares of IAC common stock and a number of options to purchase shares of SpinCo common stock equal to the spin-off ratio, with the option exercise prices based on (i) the value of IAC common stock prior to the Spin-off and (ii) the value of IAC common stock and the value of SpinCo common stock after giving effect to the Spin-off. Based upon (i) the number of IAC options outstanding on April 30, 2021; (ii) the closing stock price of IAC on April 30, 2021 of $253.47 per share; and (iii) the per share price of Vimeo common stock of $35.35 per share (from the equity raise in January 2021 at the $5.7 billion pre-money valuation), approximately $100 million of this withholding obligation would relate to SpinCo options that will be issued in the transaction. This estimate is preliminary and will ultimately depend upon (i) the number of IAC options outstanding immediately prior to the Spin-off; (ii) the value of IAC common stock prior to the Spin-off; and (iii) the value of IAC common stock and the value of SpinCo common stock after giving effect to the Spin-off.
(d)    Approximately 85% of the estimated withholding taxes payable on shares that will vest after March 31, 2022 is related to awards that are scheduled to cliff vest on the five-year anniversary of the grant date in 2025.
(e)    On November 5, 2020, the Company granted 3.0 million shares of IAC restricted common stock to its CEO, that cliff vest on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date based on satisfaction of IAC's stock price targets and continued employment through the vesting date.
(f)    Includes stock options, RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity.
(g)    Pursuant to the employee matters agreement between IAC and Angi Inc., certain stock appreciation rights of Angi, Inc. and equity awards denominated in shares of Angi Inc.'s subsidiaries may be settled in either shares of Angi Inc. common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, Angi Inc. is obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of Angi Inc. common stock.
Capital Expenditures
The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company's 2021 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2020 capital expenditures of $61.6 million by approximately 60% to 70%, due primarily to increased investments in capitalized software to support the development of products and services at Angi Inc. and payments related to the purchase of a 50% interest in an aircraft at Corporate, the final payment for which is expected to be made in the third quarter of 2021.
Liquidity Assessment
As of March 31, 2021, the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents was $3.9 billion, of which $777.0 million and $316.3 million was held by Angi Inc. and Vimeo, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held at Vimeo will be included in the Spin-off and IAC will not retain any portion thereof. The Company's outstanding debt of $713.1 million is a liability of Angi Inc., of which $213.1 million, representing the full outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan, was repaid in its entirety as of May 6, 2021. The Company generated $53.9 million of operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of which $15.3 million and $0.9 million was generated by Angi Inc. and Vimeo, respectively. Angi Inc. is a separate and distinct legal entity with its own public shareholders and board of directors and has no obligation to provide the Company with funds. As a result, the Company cannot freely access the cash of Angi Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents 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.

The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services due to COVID-19 or other factors. As described in the "COVID-19 Update and Impairments" section above, to date, the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread have had an adverse impact on certain of the Company's businesses. 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's capital structure could limit its ability to: (i) obtain additional financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service or other requirements; and (ii) use operating cash flow to make acquisitions or capital expenditures, or invest in other areas, such as developing business opportunities. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing could also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets caused by COVID-19 or otherwise. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, IAC and its subsidiaries 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. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to IAC's stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters may be material to IAC's financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation against IAC and MTCH
On August 14, 2018, ten then-current and former employees of Match Group, LLC or Tinder, Inc. ("Tinder"), an operating business of Match Group, filed a lawsuit in New York state court against IAC and Match Group. See Sean Rad et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp and Match Group, Inc., No. 654038/2018 (Supreme Court, New York County). The complaint alleges that in 2017, the defendants: (i) wrongfully interfered with a contractually established process for the independent valuation of Tinder by two investment banks, resulting in a substantial undervaluation of Tinder and a consequent underpayment to the plaintiffs upon exercise of their Tinder stock options, and (ii) then wrongfully merged Tinder into Match Group, thereby depriving the plaintiffs of their contractual right to later valuations of Tinder on a stand-alone basis. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, interference with contractual relations (as against Match Group only), and interference with prospective economic advantage, and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of at least $2 billion, as well as punitive damages. On August 31, 2018, four plaintiffs who were still employed by Match Group filed a notice of discontinuance of their claims without prejudice, leaving the six former employees as the remaining plaintiffs.
On October 9, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, including that the 2017 valuation of Tinder by the investment banks was an expert determination any challenge to which is both time-barred under applicable law and available only on narrow substantive grounds that the plaintiffs have not pleaded in their complaint; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On June 13, 2019, the court issued a decision and order: (i) granting the motion to dismiss the claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for unjust enrichment, (ii) granting the motion to dismiss the merger-related claim for breach of contract as to two of the remaining six plaintiffs, and (iii) otherwise denying the motion to dismiss. On June 21, 2019, the defendants filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's partial denial of their motion to dismiss, and the parties thereafter briefed the appeal. On October 29, 2019, the Appellate Division, First Department, issued an order affirming the lower court's decision. On November 22, 2019, the defendants filed a motion for reargument or, in the alternative, leave to appeal the Appellate Division's order to the New York Court of Appeals; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On May 21, 2020, the Appellate Division issued an order: (i) granting the defendants' motion for reargument, vacating its prior decision, and replacing it with a new decision that affirmed the lower court's decision on different grounds, and (ii) denying the defendants' motion for leave to appeal the initial (and now vacated) decision to the Court of Appeals, without prejudice to the defendants' filing a motion for leave to appeal the new decision to the Court of Appeals. On June 5, 2020, the defendants filed a motion for leave to appeal the Appellate Division's May 21 decision to the Court of Appeals; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On July 24, 2020, the Appellate Division issued an order denying the motion.
On June 3, 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss and for other relief based upon certain provisions of the plaintiffs’ agreement with a litigation funding firm; the plaintiffs opposed the motion and, on April 14, 2021, filed a supplemental opposition to the motion. The parties are currently supplementing their briefing on that motion, which remains pending.

On July 15, 2019, the defendants filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint, as well as counterclaims against former Tinder CEO Sean Rad for breach of contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged misappropriation of confidential company information. On September 13, 2019, the defendants filed an amended answer and counterclaims, adding claims based on Rad's alleged unauthorized recording of conversations with company employees. On November 21, 2019, the defendants filed a second amended answer and counterclaims, adding claims based on Rad's alleged unauthorized destruction of company information and breach of his non-solicitation obligations. On January 30, 2020, the parties participated in a mediation that did not result in the resolution of the matter. Fact discovery in the case is substantially complete and expert discovery is under way.
On July 12, 2020, the four individuals who earlier had discontinued their claims in the lawsuit commenced separate arbitration proceedings against IAC and Match Group before the American Arbitration Association in California, asserting the same claims and seeking the same relief as the six remaining plaintiffs in the lawsuit. On September 14, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to stay the trial in the New York action in favor of the California arbitration; the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On November 16, 2020, the court denied the motion. The court has provisionally scheduled the New York action for trial commencing on November 8, 2021.
In the California arbitration, on December 8, 2020, the claimants filed a motion to stay the proceedings in favor of the New York lawsuit; the respondents opposed the motion. On December 22, 2020, the respondents requested permission to file a motion for summary judgment on the claims arising out of the merger of Tinder into Match Group; the claimants opposed the request. On January 28, 2021, the arbitrator issued a decision and order: (i) denying the claimants' motion to stay the proceedings, (ii) granting the respondents' request to file a motion for summary judgment on the merger claims, provided that the motion await the close of fact discovery in the New York lawsuit, and (iii) setting a provisional hearing date of February 7, 2022. On April 30, 2021, the respondents filed a motion for summary judgment dismissing the claimants' merger claims.
IAC believes that the allegations against it in the New York lawsuit and the California arbitration are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (as defined in Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-General-Separation), Match Group has agreed to indemnify the Company for matters relating to any business of Match Group, including indemnifying the Company for costs related to the matter described above.
Shareholder Litigation Arising Out of the MTCH Separation
On June 24, 2020, a shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in Delaware state court against then IAC/InterActiveCorp (now Match Group, Inc.), then IAC Holdings, Inc. (now IAC/InterActiveCorp), IAC's Chairman and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, former Match Group (as a nominal defendant only), and the ten members of former Match Group's Board of Directors at the time of the MTCH Separation, challenging, on behalf of a putative class of then Match Group public shareholders, the agreed-upon terms of the MTCH Separation. See David Newman v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al., No. 2020-0505 (Delaware Chancery Court). The gravamen of the complaint is that the terms of the MTCH Separation are unfair to former Match Group and unduly beneficial to IAC as a result of undue influence by IAC and Mr. Diller over the then Match Group directors who unanimously approved the transaction. The complaint asserts direct and derivative claims for: (i) breach of fiduciary duty against IAC and Mr. Diller as former controlling shareholders of Match Group, (ii) breach of fiduciary duty against the Match Group directors who unanimously approved the MTCH Separation, (iii) breach of contract (i.e., a provision of former Match Group's charter), (iv) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (v) tortious interference with contract against IAC. The complaint seeks various declarations and damages in an unspecified amount. On September 24, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint.
On January 8, 2021, instead of responding to the motions to dismiss, the plaintiff, joined by another plaintiff, Boilermakers National Annuity Trust, filed an amended complaint. In addition, on January 7, 2021, another complaint challenging the MTCH Separation was filed against substantially the same defendants in the same court. See Construction Industry & Laborers Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada Plan A v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al. (Delaware Chancery Court). The two cases have been consolidated under the caption In re Match Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation, No. 2020-0505. On March 15, 2021, the court issued an order appointing Construction Industry and Laborers Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada Plan A as lead plaintiff in the litigation and directing it to file a consolidated complaint by April 14, 2021, and on that date the lead plaintiff filed the consolidated complaint.

Shareholder Litigation Regarding the Spin-off
On January 22, 2021, a putative shareholder class action was filed in New York state court against IAC and the members of IAC's board of directors. See Dean Drulias v. Joseph Levin et al., No. 650504/2021 (Supreme Court, New York County). The gravamen of the complaint is that IAC’s proposed Spin-off is being driven by IAC's controlling shareholder, Chairman and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, allegedly in order to: (i) generate additional cash for IAC to invest in the gaming industry, (ii) decrease IAC's stock price to facilitate additional share purchases by Mr. Diller and (iii) generate additional cash for Mr. Diller without diluting his controlling interest in IAC. The complaint asserts claims under Delaware law against IAC's board of directors for breach of fiduciary duty on account of its approval of the Spin-off and against IAC and its board of directors for their respective failures to include certain allegedly material information in the Company's proxy materials related to the proposed transaction. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount, as well as an order requiring the Company to include additional disclosures in the proxy materials related to the proposed transaction. On March 22, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion.
On April 13, 2021, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On April 15, 2021, the plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop the IAC stockholder vote on the Spin-off from taking place as scheduled; the defendants opposed the motion. On April 23, 2021, the court issued a decision and order denying the motion.
IAC believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.

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 IAC management as of the date of this quarterly report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

Certain of our businesses depend upon arrangements with Google.
A meaningful portion of our consolidated revenue (and a substantial portion of our net cash from operations that we can freely access) is attributable to a services agreement with Google. Pursuant to this agreement, we display and syndicate paid listings provided by Google in response to search queries generated through the businesses within our Search segment. In exchange for making our search traffic available to Google, we receive a share of the revenue generated by the paid listings supplied to us, as well as certain other search related services. Our agreement with Google expires on March 31, 2023; provided, however, that only in September of each year, we or Google may, after discussion with the other party, terminate the services agreement, effective on September 30 of the year following the year such notice is given. In addition, we earn certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the services agreement.
The amount of revenue we receive from Google depends on a number of factors outside of our control, including the amount Google charges for advertisements, the efficiency of Google’s system in attracting advertisers and serving up paid listings in response to search queries and parameters established by Google regarding the number and placement of paid listings displayed in response to search queries. In addition, Google makes judgments about the relative attractiveness (to advertisers) of clicks on paid listings from searches performed on our properties and these judgments factor into the amount of revenue we receive. Google also makes judgments about the relative attractiveness (to users) of paid listings from searches performed on our properties and these judgments factor into the number of advertisements that we can purchase. Changes to the amount Google charges advertisers, the efficiency of Google’s paid listings network, Google’s judgment about the relative attractiveness to advertisers of clicks on paid listings from our properties or to the parameters applicable to the display of paid listings generally could result in a decrease in the amount of revenue we receive from Google and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such changes could come about for a number of reasons, including general market conditions, competition or policy and operating decisions made by Google.
Our services agreement with Google also requires that we comply with certain guidelines for the use of Google brands and services, including the Chrome browser and Chrome Web Store. These guidelines govern which of our products and applications may access Google services or be distributed through its Chrome Web Store, and the manner in which Google’s paid listings are displayed within search results across various third-party platforms and products (including our properties). Our services agreement also requires that we establish guidelines to govern certain activities of third parties to whom we syndicate paid listings, including the manner in which these parties drive search traffic to their websites and display paid listings. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice, whether under the services agreement or otherwise, which could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Noncompliance with Google’s guidelines by us or the third parties to whom we are permitted to syndicate paid listings or through which we secure distribution arrangements for the businesses within our Search segment could result in the suspension of some or all Google services to us (and/or the websites of our third-party partners) and/or the termination of our services agreement by Google. Google has, in the past, made policy changes generally and under the services agreement, which had a negative impact on the results of operations of our Desktop business-to-consumer ("B2C") business, and may do so in the future. In addition, in the last quarter of 2020, Google suspended services with respect to some of our Desktop B2C products and may take continued or further action with respect to our products and businesses in the future. As a result, our Desktop B2C business elected to modify certain marketing strategies in early January 2021. Subsequently, Google informed us of another policy change in the first quarter of 2021 that is scheduled to go into effect on May 10, 2021. This Google policy change may eliminate our ability to successfully introduce and market new Desktop B2C products that would be profitable at scale. Therefore, our Desktop B2C business substantially reduced marketing in early March 2021 and effectively eliminated all marketing of its products by the end of the first quarter of 2021. This reduction in marketing will positively impact the profitability of (but will substantially reduce revenue attributable to) our Desktop B2C business in 2021. Beyond 2021, revenue attributable to the installed base of Desktop B2C products will decline precipitously. In response, our Desktop B2C business has undertaken cost reduction measures to maintain a very modest level of profitability.

The termination of our services agreement by Google, the further curtailment of our rights under the services agreement (including the failure to allow our products to access Google services, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise), the failure of Google to perform its obligations under the agreement and/or additional policy changes implemented by Google under the services agreement or otherwise would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of these events were to occur, we may not be able to find another suitable alternate provider of paid listings (or if an alternate provider were found, the economic and other terms of the agreement and the quality of paid listings may be inferior relative to our arrangements with (and the paid listings supplied by) Google) or otherwise replace the lost revenues.
Angi Inc.'s brand integration initiative may involve substantial costs, including as a result of a continued negative impact on its organic search placement, and may not be favorably received by customers and service professionals.
On March 17, 2021, Angi Inc. 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 its marketing, sales and branding efforts on a single brand. Angi Inc. (and in turn, IAC) may incur substantial costs as a result of this 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 customers and service professionals may be confused as Angi Inc. transitions and focuses on the Angi brand as against its other brands. Angi Inc. relies heavily on free and paid search engine marketing efforts to drive traffic to its properties, which has been adversely affected by this initiative. Specifically, the 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, Angi Inc. shifted marketing to support Angi, away from HomeAdvisor, which has negatively affected the efficiency of Angi Inc.'s 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 marketing costs (particularly if free traffic is replaced with paid traffic) and adversely affect the effectiveness of Angi Inc.'s marketing efforts overall (and in turn, those of IAC). Finally, as Angi Inc. aligns and focuses its organization around a single brand, Angi Inc. could experience financial and operational challenges, including a distracted salesforce and reduced service professional participation across its various product lines. Depending on market acceptance, the brand integration initiative could adversely affect the ability of Angi Inc. to attract and retain customers and service professionals, which could cause Angi Inc. (and in turn, IAC) not to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits contemplated by the brand integration initiative.
