NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Acquisition of Meredith
On December 1, 2021, Dotdash Media Inc. (formerly known as About Inc., and referred to herein as "Dotdash"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC"), completed the acquisition of Meredith Holdings Corporation ("Meredith"), which holds Meredith Corporation's national media business, consisting of its digital and magazine businesses, and its corporate operations. The parent of the combined entity is Dotdash Meredith, Inc. ("Dotdash Meredith"). See “Note 4—Business Combinations” for a description of the acquisition of Meredith.
Vimeo Spin-off
On May 25, 2021, IAC completed the spin-off of its full stake in Vimeo, Inc. (formerly Vimeo Holdings, Inc. ("Vimeo")) to IAC shareholders (which we refer to as the “Spin-off”). Following the Spin-off, Vimeo became an independent, separately traded public company. Therefore, Vimeo is presented as a discontinued operation within IAC's financial statements for all periods prior to May 25, 2021. See “Note 3—Discontinued Operations” for additional details.
Nature of Operations
IAC today is comprised of Dotdash Meredith, Angi Inc. and Care.com, as well as a number of other businesses ranging from early stage to established.
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).
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to herein as "financial statements") in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between and amongst the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The 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 unaudited financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The 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, 2021.
COVID-19 Update
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread has been varied and volatile.

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
As previously disclosed, the impact of COVID-19 on the businesses in IAC's Angi Inc. segment initially resulted in a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). While these businesses experienced a rebound in service requests from mid-2020 through early 2021, service requests started to decline in May 2021 and continued to decline into the first quarter of 2022 because of Angi Inc.'s brand integration that began in March 2021 and, in late 2021 and early 2022, the Omicron variant surge. Moreover, many service professionals’ businesses have been and continue to be adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which continues to negatively impact the ability of Angi Inc.'s businesses to monetize service requests. Although Angi Inc.'s ability to monetize service requests rebounded modestly in the second half of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, it still has not returned to levels experienced pre-COVID-19. No assurances can be provided that Angi Inc. will continue to be able to improve monetization, or that service professionals’ businesses and, as a consequence, our revenue and profitability will not continue to be adversely impacted in the future. In addition, in the first quarter of 2022, revenue at Dotdash, excluding Meredith, declined compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to lower traffic to its sites compared to prior year COVID-19 traffic highs, impacting both display advertising and performance marketing revenue.
The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 severity of resurgences of COVID-19 caused by variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes toward receiving them, materials and supply chain constraints, labor shortages, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments.
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 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 buildings, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of an acquisition and the allocation of purchase price to the identifiable intangible assets acquired during the measurement period; 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; pension and postretirement benefit expenses, including actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets and healthcare costs; 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 Liabilities, with any changes to fair value recognized in "Other income, net" in the statement of operations 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; fair 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.

General Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company's customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance obligation. 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 $165.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021, and $137.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $90.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $66.1 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2020. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances are $178.1 million and $0.5 million, at March 31, 2022, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the 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 tied to sales-based or usage-based royalties, 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.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The Company uses a portfolio approach to assess the accounting treatment of the incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes an asset for these costs if we expect to recover those costs. To the extent that these costs are capitalized, the resultant asset is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the services to which the asset relates. 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 Third-Party Agent Sales of Magazine Subscriptions
Dotdash Meredith uses third-party agents to obtain certain subscribers. The agents are paid a commission, which can be as much as the subscription price charged to the subscriber. Dotdash Meredith subscriptions do not have substantive termination penalties; therefore, the contract term is determined on an issue-by-issue basis. Accordingly, these costs do not qualify for capitalization because there is no contract with a customer until a copy is served to a customer; therefore these costs are expensed when the publication is sent to the customer. Dotdash Meredith recognizes a liability to the extent the commission is refundable to the third-party agent. Dotdash Meredith expenses additional amounts paid to agents (such as per subscriber bounties) to acquire subscribers as incurred.

Commissions Paid to Employees Pursuant to Sales Incentive Programs
The Company has determined that commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized as the incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. Capitalized commissions paid to employees pursuant to these sales incentive programs are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period. The Company calculates the anticipated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data.
For sales incentive programs where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the commissions as incurred.
App Store Fees
The Company pays fees to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for the distribution of our paid mobile apps. The Company capitalizes and amortizes mobile app store fees related to subscriptions over the term of the applicable subscription.
The following table presents the capitalized costs to obtain a contract with a customer at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 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 operating activities attributable to continuing 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, 2022 and 2021, total revenue earned from Google was $193.4 million and $171.8 million, respectively, representing 15% and 22%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. The related accounts receivable totaled $66.8 million and $89.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The total revenue earned from the Services Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $147.1 million and $152.5 million, respectively, representing 11% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by Ask Media Group and the Desktop business, both within the Search segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, revenue earned from the Services Agreement was $120.5 million and $121.4 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group and $26.6 million and $31.0 million, respectively, within the Desktop business.

The Company and Google are parties to an amended Services Agreement, which expires on March 31, 2024 and provides for an automatic renewal for an additional one year period absent a notice of non-renewal from either party on or before March 31, 2023. 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 or negatively impact revenue and have had and in the future 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-to-consumer ("B2C") business. Google may make changes in the future that could impact the revenue earned from Google, including under the Services Agreement.
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 the B2C business. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Google suspended services with respect to some B2C's products and may do so with respect to other products in the future. As a result, the 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 became effective on May 10, 2021. We anticipated that this Google policy change would eliminate our ability to successfully introduce and market new B2C products that would be profitable. Therefore, we undertook cost reduction measures and effectively eliminated all marketing of B2C products beginning in March 2021. This elimination of marketing has positively impacted profitability starting in the second quarter of 2021 because revenue from B2C products is earned over multiple periods beyond just the period in which the initial marketing is incurred. Following the cessation of the introduction of new products in March 2021, the B2C revenue stream relates solely to the then existing installed base of products. In 2022 and beyond, we expect the revenue and profits of the B2C business to decline significantly.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted by IAC
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
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company's tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision or benefit in the quarter in which the change occurs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $70.5 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 23%, which is higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes and excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $53.3 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 14% which is 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.
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.
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."
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 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, 2013 through 2017, and is currently auditing the years ended December 31, 2018 through 2019, which include the operations of the Company. The statute of limitations for the years 2013 through 2019 has been extended to December 31, 2023. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2012. 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.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are $18.7 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 2022 increased by $0.7 million due primarily to research credits. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2022 are subsequently recognized, $17.4 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount at December 31, 2021 was $16.7 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $2.9 million by March 31, 2023 due to expected settlements of which $2.6 million would reduce the income tax provision.
NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 25, 2021, IAC completed the Spin-off. Following the Spin-off, Vimeo became an independent, separately traded public company. Therefore, Vimeo is presented as a discontinued operation within IAC's financial statements for all periods prior to May 25, 2021.

NOTE 4—BUSINESS COMBINATION
On December 1, 2021, Dotdash acquired Meredith under the terms of an agreement (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of October 6, 2021. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Meredith (other than certain excluded shares) was converted into the right to receive $42.18 in cash. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Meredith equity awards were cancelled, and in exchange each holder received such holder’s portion of the merger consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement, less the per share exercise price in the case of stock options. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting.

Equity Method Investment
The Company owns common shares of Turo Inc. ("Turo"), a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting given the Company's ownership interest at March 31, 2022 of approximately 26.9% on a fully diluted basis in the form of preferred shares, which are not common stock equivalents. The Company accounts for the equity losses for this investment on a one quarter lag.
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.
18
IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
•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.

Warrant
As part of the Company's investment in Turo preferred shares, the Company received a warrant that is recorded at fair value each reporting period with any change included in "Other income, net" in the statement of operations. The warrant is measured using significant unobservable inputs and is classified in the fair value hierarchy table as Level 3. The warrant is included in "Other non-current assets" in the balance sheet.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements
At March 31, 2022, the Company has two outstanding contingent consideration arrangements related to business combinations. The maximum contingent payments related to these arrangements is $7.0 million, however, as of March 31, 2022 the Company does not expect to make any further payments on these arrangements.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets and buildings, 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.
The Mosaic Group reporting unit fair value approximates its carrying value at March 31, 2022. To the extent there is a decline in the fair value of the reporting unit, a goodwill impairment would be recorded to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value. A 10% decline in the fair value of the Mosaic Group reporting unit would result in a goodwill impairment of approximately $25.0 million.

Dotdash Meredith Term Loans and Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility
On December 1, 2021, Dotdash Meredith entered into a credit agreement ("Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement"), which provides for (i) the five-year $350 million Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A, (ii) the seven-year $1.25 billion Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B (and together with Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A, the "Dotdash Meredith Term Loans") and (iii) a five-year $150 million revolving credit facility ("Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility"). The proceeds of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Meredith and pay related fees and expenses. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A bears interest at an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR") as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin depending on Dotdash Meredith's most recently reported consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.00%, or 2.29% and 2.15%, respectively. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 4.00%, or 4.50% at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the terms of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans.
The outstanding balances of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A and Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B were $345.6 million and $1.25 billion at March 31, 2022, respectively, and $350.0 million and $1.25 billion at December 31, 2021, respectively. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $4.4 million through December 31, 2024, $8.8 million through December 31, 2025 and approximately $13.1 million thereafter through maturity. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B requires quarterly payments of $3.1 million through maturity. Commencing December 31, 2022, pursuant to the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement, the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B may require additional annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which, in part, is governed by Dotdash Meredith's net leverage ratio.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on the consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement, most recently reported and was 35 basis points at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Any borrowings under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility would bear interest, at Dotdash Meredith's option, at either a base rate or term benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which is based on Dotdash Meredith's net leverage ratio.
As of the last day of any calendar quarter ending on or after March 31, 2022, if either (i) $1.00 or more of loans under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility or Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A are outstanding, or (ii) the outstanding face amount of undrawn letters of credit, other than cash collateralized letters of credit at 102% of face value, exceeds $25 million, subject to certain increases for qualifying material acquisitions, then Dotdash Meredith will not permit the consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last day of such quarter to exceed 5.5 to 1.0. The Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement also contains covenants that would limit Dotdash Meredith’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or if Dotdash Meredith’s consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement) exceeds 4.0 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at March 31, 2022.
The obligations under the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Dotdash Meredith's wholly-owned subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Dotdash Meredith and certain of its subsidiaries.
ANGI Group Debt
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 ANGI Group’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 3.75 to 1.0. At March 31, 2022 there were no limitations pursuant thereto.
The $250 million ANGI Group Revolving Facility, which otherwise would have expired on November 5, 2023, was terminated effective August 3, 2021. No amounts were ever drawn under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility prior to its termination.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, ANGI Group prepaid $6.9 million of the ANGI Group Term Loan principal that was otherwise due in the first quarter of 2022 and, as of May 6, 2021, the outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan was repaid in its entirety.

NOTE 8—(LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company treats its common stock and Class B common stock as one class of stock for net (loss) 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 restricted shares are unvested and have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend on common shares and participate in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares.
Undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security is subtracted from earnings in determining earnings attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock for basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock 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 (loss) earnings attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock is adjusted for the impact from our public subsidiary's 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.

_____________________
(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 vests 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 on its common shares and participate in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares. Accordingly, the two-class method of calculating EPS is used. While the restricted shares are presented as outstanding shares in the balance sheet, these shares are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding in calculating basic EPS and the allocable portion of net earnings are also excluded. Fully diluted EPS reflects the impact on earnings and fully diluted shares in the manner that is most dilutive.
(b) IAC has the option to settle certain Angi Inc. stock-based awards in its shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, both the Company and Angi Inc. had a loss from operations and as a result these awards were excluded from computing dilutive earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 it was more dilutive for IAC to settle these Angi Inc. equity awards. The impact on net earnings relates to the settlement of Angi Inc.'s dilutive securities in IAC common shares.
(c) For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a loss from continuing operations and, as a result, approximately 7.8 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from computing diluted EPS because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding were used to compute the EPS amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
(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 and 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 EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9—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 the chief operating decision maker's view of 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, or, in the case of the Emerging & Other reportable segment, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate reportable segments. The determination of operating segments for Dotdash Meredith following the acquisition of Meredith is provisional; therefore, it is possible that a different level of segment reporting may be required following the completion of this determination.

(b) Includes $10.0 million in foreign exchange losses primarily related to the substantial liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
NOTE 11—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.
NOTE 12—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Following the Spin-off, the relationship between IAC and Vimeo is governed by a number of agreements.

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.

Angi Inc.'s Brand Integration Initiative
In March 2021, ANGI Homeservices Inc. changed its name to Angi Inc. and updated one of its leading websites and brands, Angie’s List, to Angi, and since then, has concentrated its marketing investment in the Angi brand in order to focus its marketing, sales, and branding efforts on a single brand.
39
Angi Inc. relies heavily on free, or organic, search results from search engine optimization and paid search engine marketing to drive traffic to its websites. This brand integration 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, powered by Angi, which has negatively affected the efficiency of its search engine marketing efforts.
Since the beginning of the integration process, these efforts have had a pronounced negative impact on service requests from organic search results, which in turn has resulted in increased paid search engine marketing to generate service requests. These factors have increased marketing spend and reduced revenue materially more than expected at the launch of the brand initiative in March 2021. Angi Inc. expects the pronounced negative impact to organic search results, increased paid search engine marketing costs, and reduced monetization from our mobile applications to continue until such time as the new brand establishes search engine optimization ranking and consumer awareness is established.
Angi Services Investment
Angi Services was launched in August 2019 and Angi Inc. has invested significantly in Angi Services and expects to continue to do so going forward. Since the launch of Angi Services, Angi Inc. has experienced and expects significant future revenue growth as it expands the business, refines the overall experience, and increases penetration in certain geographies and service categories. This increased investment in Angi Services has contributed to losses for Angi Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and this investment is expected to continue through at least 2023.
Dotdash Meredith Restructuring Charges
In the first quarter of 2022, Dotdash Meredith announced its plans to discontinue certain print publications and the shutdown of PeopleTV to focus the portfolio and further enable investments toward digital growth. The discontinued print publications consist of Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, EatingWell, Health, Parents, and People en Español, with the April 2022 issues of these publications being their final print editions. Dotdash Meredith also announced a voluntary retirement program to its employees who met certain age and service requirements. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $22.4 million of related restructuring charges, including $20.5 million of severance and related costs. Dotdash Meredith anticipates the estimated remaining costs of $9.4 million will be paid by December 31, 2023 from existing cash on hand. See "Note 14—Dotdash Meredith Restructuring Charges, Transaction-Related Expenses and Change-in-Control Payments" to the financial statements included in "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information on Dotdash Meredith restructuring charges.
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 operating activities attributable to continuing 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, 2022 and 2021, total revenue earned from Google was $193.4 million and $171.8 million, respectively, representing 15% and 22%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. The related accounts receivable totaled $66.8 million and $89.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The total revenue earned from the Services Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $147.1 million and $152.5 million, respectively, representing 11% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by Ask Media Group and the Desktop business, both within the Search segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, revenue earned from the Services Agreement was $120.5 million and $121.4 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group and $26.6 million and $31.0 million, respectively, within the Desktop business.
40
The Company and Google are parties to an amended Services Agreement, which expires on March 31, 2024 and provides for an automatic renewal for an additional one year period absent a notice of non-renewal from either party on or before March 31, 2023. 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 or negatively impact revenue and have had and in the future 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-to-consumer ("B2C") business. Google may make changes in the future that could impact the revenue earned from Google, including under the Services Agreement.
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 the B2C business. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Google suspended services with respect to some B2C's products and may do so with respect to other products in the future. As a result, the 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 became effective on May 10, 2021. We anticipated that this Google policy change would eliminate our ability to successfully introduce and market new B2C products that would be profitable. Therefore, we undertook cost reduction measures and effectively eliminated all marketing of B2C products beginning in March 2021. This elimination of marketing has positively impacted profitability starting in the second quarter of 2021 because revenue from B2C products is earned over multiple periods beyond just the period in which the initial marketing is incurred. Following the cessation of the introduction of new products in March 2021, the B2C revenue stream relates solely to the then existing installed base of products. In 2022 and beyond, we expect the revenue and profits of the B2C business to decline significantly.
COVID-19 Update
The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread has been varied and volatile.
As previously disclosed, the impact of COVID-19 on the businesses in IAC's Angi Inc. segment initially resulted in a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). While these businesses experienced a rebound in service requests from mid-2020 through early 2021, service requests started to decline in May 2021 and continued to decline into the first quarter of 2022 because of Angi Inc.'s brand integration that began in March 2021 and, in late 2021 and early 2022, the Omicron variant surge. Moreover, many service professionals’ businesses have been and continue to be adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which continues to negatively impact the ability of Angi Inc.'s businesses to monetize service requests. Although Angi Inc.'s ability to monetize service requests rebounded modestly in the second half of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, it still has not returned to levels experienced pre-COVID-19. No assurances can be provided that Angi Inc. will continue to be able to improve monetization, or that service professionals’ businesses and, as a consequence, our revenue and profitability will not continue to be adversely impacted in the future. In addition, in the first quarter of 2022, revenue at Dotdash, excluding Meredith, declined compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to lower traffic to its sites compared to prior year COVID-19 traffic highs, impacting both display advertising and performance marketing revenue.
The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 severity of resurgences of COVID-19 caused by variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes toward receiving them, materials and supply chain constraints, labor shortages, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments.

•Dotdash Meredith revenue increased 665% to $500.5 million due to the contribution of $438.9 million from Meredith, acquired December 1, 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $4.1 million, or 14%, in Dotdash Performance Marketing. The decrease in Dotdash Performance Marketing Revenue was due primarily to declines in both affiliate commerce commission revenue and performance marketing commission revenue due primarily to lower traffic to its sites compared to the prior year COVID-19 traffic highs.
•Angi Inc. revenue increased 13% to $436.2 million driven by an increase of $58.4 million, or 107%, in Angi Services Revenue, partially offset by decreases of $8.3 million, or 3%, in Angi Ads and Leads Revenue and $1.0 million, or 4%, at the European businesses. The increase in Angi Services Revenue is due primarily to Angi Roofing, acquired July 1, 2021, and, to a lesser extent, organic growth. The decrease in Angi Ads and Leads Revenue is due primarily to a decrease of 13% in Service Requests. The revenue decrease at the European businesses was due to the unfavorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound.
•Search revenue increased 23% to $223.4 million due to growth of $50.0 million, or 35%, from Ask Media Group, partially offset by a decrease of $7.6 million, or 21%, from Desktop. The increase in Ask Media Group revenue was due to higher and more efficient marketing driving increased visitors to ad supported search and content websites. The decrease in Desktop revenue was due primarily to the Google policy changes announced in the prior year described above under "Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")."
•Emerging & Other revenue increased 9% to $167.0 million due primarily to a 17% increase in revenue at Care.com and growth from Bluecrew and Vivian Health, partially offset by $7.2 million lower revenue at IAC Films due to the delivery of a film in the first quarter of 2021.

•The Dotdash Meredith increase was due primarily to $206.0 million of expense from the inclusion of Meredith and an increase of $4.6 million in compensation expense related to increased content creation headcount at Dotdash. Included in Meredith's expense is $9.5 million of restructuring costs primarily related to the reorganization of the Dotdash Meredith business described above under "Dotdash Meredith Restructuring Charges."
•The Search increase was primarily due to an increase of $39.9 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, including $27.2 million of costs attributable to the inclusion of Angi Roofing, primarily for roofing materials and third-party contractors. The remaining increase represents payments to third-party service professionals for other Angi Services arrangements.

Selling and marketing expense in 2022 increased from 2021 due to increases of $155.6 million from Dotdash Meredith and $20.0 million from Angi Inc.
•The Dotdash Meredith increase was due principally to $154.0 million of expense from the inclusion of Meredith. Included in Meredith's expense is $5.6 million of restructuring costs primarily related to the reorganization of the Dotdash Meredith business described above under "Dotdash Meredith Restructuring Charges."
•The Angi Inc. increase was due primarily to an increase in advertising expense of $9.9 million, expense of $6.2 million from the inclusion of Angi Roofing, and increases in consulting costs of $2.8 million and software maintenance costs of $1.6 million, partially offset by decreases in lease expense and compensation expense of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The increase in advertising expense was due primarily to an increase of $11.3 million in television spend, partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 million in online marketing spend. The increase in television spend reflects the return to historical spending levels as compared to the cost cutting initiatives during 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19 and is consistent with 2020 spend prior to COVID-19. The increase in consulting and software maintenance costs was due primarily to various sales initiatives at Angi Services. The decrease in lease expense was primarily due to Angi Inc. reducing its real estate footprint in 2021. The decrease in compensation expense was due primarily to decreased commission expense.

The increase in compensation expense at Dotdash was due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
43
•The Angi Inc. increase was due primarily to an increase of $8.0 million in compensation expense, $6.9 million of expense from the inclusion of Angi Roofing, and increases of $4.7 million in professional fees and $1.9 million in software and maintenance costs. The increase in compensation expense was due primarily to increases in stock-based compensation expense of $8.9 million and wage-related expenses of $3.8 million, partially offset by a $6.0 million charge in the first quarter of 2021, related to the acquisition of an additional 21% interest in MyBuilder at a premium to fair value. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to 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 and new awards granted since the first quarter of 2021. The increase in wage-related expenses was due primarily to an increase in headcount. The increase in professional fees was due primarily to an increase in legal fees and outsourced personnel costs, and to a lesser extent, recruiting fees. The increase in outsourced personnel costs is due primarily to an increase in call volume related to Angi Inc.'s customer service function. The increase in software licenses and maintenance costs is due to increased investment in software to support Angi Inc.'s customer service function.

Operating loss increased $101.6 million to a loss of $108.8 million due primarily to an increase of $40.4 million in amortization of intangibles, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $39.4 million, described below, and increases of $11.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and $11.0 million in depreciation, partially offset by income of $0.6 million in an acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustment. The increase in the amortization of intangibles was due primarily to the acquisition of Meredith, partially offset by lower expense at Care.com due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense due to forfeitures from management departures in the first quarter of 2021 and new awards granted since the first quarter of 2021 at Angi Inc. The increase in depreciation was due primarily to expense from the inclusion of Meredith, partially offset by the write-off of certain capitalized software projects at Angi Inc in the first quarter of 2021.
At March 31, 2022, there was $414.2 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 4.9 years.
The Mosaic Group reporting unit fair value approximates its carrying value at March 31, 2022. To the extent there is a decline in the fair value of the reporting unit, a goodwill impairment would be recorded to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value. A 10% decline in the fair value of the Mosaic Group reporting unit would result in a goodwill impairment of approximately $25.0 million.

•Dotdash Meredith Adjusted EBITDA decreased 57% to $8.5 million, despite higher revenue, due primarily to $22.4 million in restructuring charges and $4.0 million in transaction-related costs associated with the Meredith acquisition. See "Note 14—Dotdash Meredith Restructuring Charges, Transaction-Related Expenses and Change-in-Control Payments" to the financial statements included in "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information on Dotdash Meredith restructuring charges.
•Angi Inc. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $26.4 million to a loss of $3.2 million, despite higher revenue, due primarily to an increase of $45.2 million in cost of revenue due primarily to the growth of Angi Services, including $27.2 million of costs attributable to the inclusion of Angi Roofing, and an increase of $9.9 million in advertising expense, due primarily to a return to historical spending levels as compared to the cost cutting initiatives during 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19, and the consolidation under a single brand on March 17, 2021, which has adversely affected both free and paid search engine marketing efforts.
•Search Adjusted EBITDA increased 37% to $25.1 million due to an increase in Ask Media Group revenue and a decrease in marketing at Desktop as it substantially reduced marketing of its B2C products in January 2021 and the subsequent elimination of all marketing of B2C products beginning in early March 2021 as a result of Google policy changes.
•Emerging & Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased 92% to $0.9 million due primarily to lower profits at IAC Films, Mosaic Group and Care.com.
•Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased 10% to $23.7 million due primarily to the inclusion in the first quarter of 2021 of $4.1 million of transaction-related costs in connection with the Spin-off.

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. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

For a reconciliation of operating loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's reportable segments, see "Note 9—Segment Information" to the financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements."
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.
49
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, 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 advertiser relationships, licensee relationships, trade names, technology, subscriber relationships, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base, memberships, 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:

Financing activities attributable to continuing operations | $ | (27,482) | $ | (99,164) |
Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of net earnings adjusted for non-cash items, and the effect of changes in working capital. Non-cash adjustments include the unrealized loss (gain) on the investment in MGM, deferred income taxes, amortization of intangibles, pension and postretirement benefit expense, net gains on investments in equity securities, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, provision for credit losses, non-cash lease expense (including right-of-use asset impairments), and unrealized increase in the estimated fair value of a warrant.
2022
Adjustments to net losses attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of an unrealized loss on the investment in MGM of $187.3 million, amortization of intangibles of $57.2 million, pension and postretirement benefit expense of $36.3 million, depreciation of $30.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $29.7 million, provision of credit losses of $23.3 million, and non-cash lease expense of $13.7 million, partially offset by deferred taxes of $76.9 million, net gains on investments in equity securities of $34.8 million, and an unrealized increase in the estimated fair value of a warrant of $8.0 million. The decrease from changes in working capital include decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $84.0 million and operating lease liabilities of $17.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $75.3 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $11.3 million. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to a decrease in accrued employee compensation due, in part, to payment of 2021 bonuses in 2022 and payment of commissions, partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges at Dotdash Meredith, and a decrease in accrued traffic acquisition costs at Search. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2022 relative to the fourth quarter of 2021 at Dotdash Meredith and Search, partially offset by revenue growth at Angi Inc., primarily attributable to Angi Services. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to the growth in subscription sales at Care.com.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $202.5 million for the purchase of an additional 4.5 million shares of MGM and capital expenditures of $30.5 million primarily related to investments in capitalized software at Angi Inc. to support its products and services.
Net cash used by financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $14.9 million, the repurchase of 1.0 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, for $8.1 million at an average price of $7.80 per share, principal payments on Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A and Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B of $7.5 million, and withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $1.3 million.
52
2021
Adjustments to net earnings attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of $382.5 million of unrealized gain on the investment in MGM and an unrealized increase in the estimated fair value of a warrant of $12.8 million, partially offset by $51.7 million of deferred income taxes, $19.3 million of provision for credit losses, $19.2 million of depreciation, $18.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $16.8 million of amortization of intangibles, and non-cash lease expense (including right-of-use asset impairments) of $6.6 million. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $40.5 million and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $6.9 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $17.1 million, a decrease in other assets of $8.0 million and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $5.2 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 operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at Care.com. 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. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to an increase in accrued advertising and related payables at Angi Inc. and an increase in payroll and related tax liabilities related to Care.com's payment solution business, partially offset by a decrease in accrued employee compensation related to the payment of 2020 cash bonuses in 2021 and payment of commissions, and payment related to the termination of a production at IAC Films.
Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes maturities of marketable debt securities of $225.0 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $20.2 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 used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $48.2 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $22.9 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests, $18.3 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $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.
Discontinued Operations
Net cash provided by discontinued operations of $302.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates to the operations of Vimeo. The Company does not expect cash flows from discontinued operations following the Spin-off.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing Arrangements
Dotdash Meredith Term Loans and Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility
On December 1, 2021, Dotdash Meredith entered into a credit agreement ("Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement"), which provides for (i) the five-year $350 million Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A, (ii) the seven-year $1.25 billion Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B and (iii) the five-year $150 million Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility. The proceeds of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Meredith and pay related fees and expenses.
The outstanding balances of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A and Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B were $345.6 million and $1.25 billion and bore interest at 2.29% and 4.50% at March 31, 2022, respectively. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the terms of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $4.4 million through December 31, 2024, $8.8 million through December 31, 2025 and approximately $13.1 million thereafter through maturity. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B requires quarterly payments of $3.1 million through maturity. Commencing December 31, 2022, pursuant to the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement, the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B may require additional annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which, in part, is governed by Dotdash Meredith's net leverage ratio.
53
There were no outstanding borrowings under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility at March 31, 2022. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on the consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement, most recently reported and was 35 basis points at March 31, 2022. Any borrowings under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility would bear interest, at Dotdash Meredith's option, at either a base rate or term benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which is based on Dotdash Meredith's net leverage ratio.
As of the last day of any calendar quarter ending on or after March 31, 2022, if either (i) $1.00 or more of loans under the Dotdash Meredith Revolving Facility or Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A are outstanding, or (ii) the outstanding face amount of undrawn letters of credit, other than cash collateralized letters of credit at 102% of face value, exceeds $25 million, subject to certain increases for qualifying material acquisitions, then Dotdash Meredith will not permit the consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last day of such quarter to exceed 5.5 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at March 31, 2022.
The obligations under the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Dotdash Meredith's wholly-owned subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Dotdash Meredith and certain of its subsidiaries.
ANGI Group Debt
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 ANGI Group’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) exceeds 3.75 to 1.0. At March 31, 2022 there were no limitations pursuant thereto.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, ANGI Group prepaid $6.9 million of the ANGI Group Term Loan principal that was otherwise due in the first quarter of 2022 and, as of May 6, 2021, the outstanding balance of the ANGI Group Term Loan was repaid in its entirety.
The $250 million ANGI Group Revolving Facility, which otherwise would have expired on November 5, 2023, was terminated effective August 3, 2021. No amounts were ever drawn under the ANGI Group Revolving Facility prior to its termination.
Investment in MGM Resorts International
On February 16, 2022, the Company purchased an additional 4.5 million shares of MGM for $202.5 million. Following this purchase, the Company owns approximately 63.5 million shares, representing a 14.5% ownership interest in MGM as of February 23, 2022.
Share Repurchase Authorizations and Activity
At March 31, 2022, IAC has 8.0 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Angi Inc. repurchased 1.0 million shares of its Class A common stock, on a trade date basis, at an average price of $7.80 per share, or $8.1 million in aggregate. At March 31, 2022 Angi Inc. has 15.0 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
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.
54
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 May 6, 2022) 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) 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 by selling IAC common shares. Assuming all IAC stock options outstanding on May 6, 2022 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 2.9 million common shares and would have received $40.5 million in cash proceeds. These amounts reflect adjustments made to IAC awards upon the completion of the Spin-off.
(c) Approximately 80% of the estimated withholding taxes payable on shares that will vest after March 31, 2023 is related to awards that are scheduled to cliff vest in 2025, the five-year anniversary of the grant date.
55
(d) 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. The IAC stock price is currently below the minimum price threshold to earn the award.
(e) Includes stock options, RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity.
(f) 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.
Contractual Obligations
At March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations since the disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Capital and Other Expenditures
The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company's 2022 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2021 capital expenditures of $90.2 million by approximately 20% to 30%, primarily due to the development of capitalized software to support products and services at Dotdash Meredith and Angi Inc.
Liquidity Assessment
At March 31, 2022, the Company's consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable equity securities, excluding MGM, was $1.9 billion, of which $391.3 million and $229.9 million was held by Angi Inc. and Dotdash Meredith, respectively. The Company's consolidated debt includes approximately $1.6 billion, which is a liability of Dotdash Meredith, Inc., a subsidiary of IAC, and $500.0 million, which is a liability of ANGI Group, a subsidiary of Angi Inc. The Company generated $12.9 million of operating cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, of which $10.1 million was generated by Dotdash Meredith and $0.7 million was used by Angi Inc., 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. In addition, the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement contains covenants that would limit Dotdash Meredith’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions in the event a default has occurred or if Dotdash Meredith’s consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement) exceeds 4.0 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at March 31, 2022.
The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services due to COVID-19 or other factors.
The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, and expected positive cash flows generated from operations, and that of Dotdash Meredith and Angi Inc., will be sufficient to fund their respective 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 next twelve months. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments beyond the next twelve months. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all, which may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets caused by COVID-19 or otherwise. The indebtedness at Dotdash Meredith and Angi Inc., could further limit the Company's ability to raise incremental financing.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
At March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company's instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the Company's long-term investment in MGM described below.
Equity Price Risk
On February 16, 2022, the Company purchased an additional 4.5 million shares of MGM for $202.5 million. Following this purchase, the Company owns approximately 63.5 million shares, representing a 14.5% ownership interest in MGM as of February 23, 2022. The Company's results of operations and financial condition have been and may be materially impacted by increases or decreases in the price of MGM common shares, which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company recorded an unrealized pre-tax loss of $187.3 million and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $382.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cumulative unrealized net pre-tax gain through March 31, 2022 is $1.4 billion. The carrying value of the Company's investment in MGM, which includes the cumulative unrealized pre-tax gains, was $2.7 billion and $2.6 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which represents approximately 22% of IAC's consolidated total assets at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. A $2.00 increase or decrease in the share price of MGM would, respectively, result in an unrealized pre-tax gain or loss of $127.1 million.
57
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, 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.
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 asserted 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 sought 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.
On June 22, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On September 3, 2021, instead of responding to the motions, the plaintiffs filed motions to add City of Hallandale Beach Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Personnel Retirement Trust as a co-lead plaintiff and to amend and supplement the consolidated complaint, which latter motion the defendants opposed. On October 27, 2021, the court issued an order granting the motions. On November 2, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended and supplemented consolidated complaint.
On December 10, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended and supplemented consolidated complaint. On January 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motions. On February 24, 2022, the defendants filed reply briefs in support of the motions. On May 4, 2022, the court held oral argument on the motions, which remain pending.
IAC believes that the allegations in this litigation are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.
