NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
IAC has majority ownership of both Match Group, which includes Tinder, Match, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid and Hinge, and ANGI Homeservices, which includes HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List and Handy, and also operates Vimeo and Dotdash, among many other online businesses.
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).
As of June 30, 2019, IAC’s economic and voting interest in:
• | Match Group were 80.4%, and 97.5%, respectively. All references to "Match Group" or "MTCH" in this report are to Match Group, Inc. |
• | ANGI Homeservices were 83.1%, and 98.0%, respectively. All reference to "ANGI Homeservices" or "ANGI" in this report are to ANGI Homeservices Inc. |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
In management's opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Accounting for Investments and Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities, other than those of our consolidated subsidiaries and those accounted for under the equity method, are accounted for at fair value or under the measurement alternative of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, following its adoption on January 1, 2018, 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 we consider 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 our investments in equity securities, which require judgment and the use of estimates. When our 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.
Investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of entities in which the Company has the ability to

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any investments accounted for using the equity method.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable debt securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts; the determination of revenue reserves; the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; 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 and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
General Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to our 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 advance 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 term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of our performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2018 are $360.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $315.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2019 are $402.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under 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 we have the right to invoice for services performed.
For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. The amount of capitalized sales commissions where the customer relationship period is greater than one year is $40.8 million and $40.5 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google (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 and six months ended June 30, 2019, consolidated revenue earned from Google was $196.4 million and $392.3 million, respectively, both representing 17%, of the Company's consolidated revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, consolidated revenue earned from Google was $204.9 million and $416.2 million, representing 19% and 20%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $73.2 million and $69.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business within the Applications segment and the Ask Media Group within the Emerging & Other segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue from the Services Agreement of $78.1 million and $166.1 million, respectively, was earned within the Applications segment and $104.0 million and $198.2 million, respectively, within the Emerging & Other segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue from the Services Agreement of $107.4 million and $215.9 million, respectively, was earned within the Applications segment and $82.6 million and $168.4 million, respectively, within the Emerging & Other segment.
The current Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2020. On February 11, 2019, the Company and Google amended the Services Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2020. The amendment extends the expiration date of the agreement to March 31, 2023. The Company believes that the amended agreement, taken as a whole, is comparable to the Company’s currently existing agreement with Google. 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 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 have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On May 31, 2019, Google announced policy changes, which became effective on July 1, 2019, related to all extensions distributed through the Chrome Web Store, including the Company's. These policy changes could negatively impact the distribution of our desktop products through the Chrome Web Store and, thereby, reduce the revenue and profits of the Desktop business within our Applications segment, which could in turn reduce the fair value of the Desktop reporting unit and the related intangible asset. A reduction in the fair value of the Desktop reporting unit of approximately 10% would result in an impairment of goodwill equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Any reduction in the fair value of the related intangible asset would result in an impairment equal to such reduction. As of June 30, 2019, the goodwill balance of the Desktop reporting unit and the carrying value of the related intangible asset are $265.1 million and $28.9 million, respectively.
Adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842") effective January 1, 2019. ASC 842 superseded previously existing guidance on accounting for leases and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the statement of financial position.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of $154.7 million of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") and related lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, with no cumulative effect adjustment. The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company adopted ASC 842 prospectively and, therefore, did not revise comparative period information or disclosure. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2—LEASES
The Company leases land, office space, data center facilities and equipment used in connection with its operations under various operating leases, the majority of which contain escalation clauses.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from these leases. ROU assets and related lease liabilities are based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term using the Company's and its publicly-traded subsidiaries' respective incremental borrowing rates on the lease commencement date or January 1, 2019 for leases that commenced prior to that date. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of lease payments in determining ROU assets and related lease liabilities. If the lease includes one or more options to extend the term of the lease, the renewal option is considered in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option(s). Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As permitted by ASC 842, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") are not recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Variable lease payments consist primarily of common area maintenance, utilities and taxes, which are not included in the recognition of ROU assets and related lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

NOTE 3—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 our 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 June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $16.3 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 10%, 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company
13
IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
recorded an income tax benefit, despite pre-tax income, of $47.3 million due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $31.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which represent effective income tax rates of 10% and 1%, respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards.
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. 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 is currently auditing the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2016. The statute of limitations for the years 2010 through 2012 has been extended to July 31, 2020 and the statute of limitations for the years 2013 through 2015 has been extended to December 31, 2020. 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 examination of prior year tax returns. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are $52.0 million and $52.3 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2019 are subsequently recognized, $48.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2018 was $49.1 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $24.0 million by June 30, 2020, due to expirations of statutes of limitations or other settlements; $23.5 million of which would reduce the income tax provision.

The Company has an investment in Pinterest, which became a publicly-traded company in the second quarter of 2019. With effect from Pinterest's initial public offering, the Company's investment has been accounted for as a marketable security. Prior to this, the Company accounted for its investment in Pinterest as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $29.8 million related to its investment in Pinterest, which is included in “Other income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

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. |
The following tables present the Company's financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Contingent Consideration Arrangements
At June 30, 2019, the Company has one outstanding contingent consideration arrangement related to a business acquisition. The arrangement has a total maximum contingent payment of $45.0 million. At June 30, 2019, the gross fair value of this arrangement, before unamortized discount, is $44.0 million. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company paid $2.0 million to settle a contingent consideration arrangement that was outstanding at December 31, 2018.
Generally, our contingent consideration arrangements are based upon financial performance and/or operating metric targets. 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, because the arrangements are initially long-term in nature, applying a discount rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligation to determine the net amount reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at June 30, 2019 reflects a discount rate of 25%. The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements at December 31, 2018 reflect discount rates ranging from 12% to 25%.
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 consolidated statement of operations. The contingent consideration arrangement liability at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes a current portion of $12.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and a non-current portion of $17.2 million and $26.6 million, respectively. The current and non-current portions of the contingent consideration liability are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property 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.
Financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of long-term debt is estimated using observable market prices or indices for similar liabilities, which are Level 2 inputs. At December 31, 2018, the Company considered the outstanding borrowings under the MTCH's $500 million revolving credit facility ("MTCH Credit Facility"), which has a variable interest rate, to have a fair value equal to its carrying value. The outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility were repaid with a portion of the net proceeds from MTCH's $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes issued on February 15, 2019. See "Note 5—Long-term Debt" for additional information on the repayment of the MTCH Credit Facility.

MTCH Senior Notes
The 6.375% MTCH Senior Notes were issued on June 1, 2016. These notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date.
The 5.00% MTCH Senior Notes were issued on December 4, 2017. At any time prior to December 15, 2022, the 5.00% MTCH Senior 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 set forth in the indenture governing the notes. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date.
On February 15, 2019, MTCH issued its 5.625% Senior Notes. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility, to pay expenses associated with the offering, and for general corporate purposes. At any time prior to February 15, 2024, 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 set forth in the indenture governing the notes. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date.
The indentures governing the 6.375% and 5.00% MTCH Senior Notes contain covenants that would limit MTCH's ability to pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase MTCH stock in the event a default has occurred or MTCH's consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the indentures) exceeds 5.0 to 1.0. At June 30, 2019, there were no limitations pursuant thereto. There are additional covenants in those indentures that limit MTCH's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the event MTCH is not in compliance with certain ratios set forth in the indentures, and (ii) incur liens, enter into agreements restricting MTCH subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of their assets. The indenture governing the 5.625% MTCH Senior Notes is less restrictive than the indentures governing the 6.375% and 5.00% MTCH Senior Notes and generally only limits MTCH's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens on assets and limits MTCH's ability to consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets.
MTCH's Senior Notes are ranked equally with each other.
MTCH Term Loan and MTCH Credit Facility
At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the MTCH Term Loan was $425.0 million. The MTCH Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%, and was 4.90% and 5.09% at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The MTCH Term Loan provides for annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which, if any, is governed by the secured net leverage ratio contained in the credit agreement. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the term of the loan.
At June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility. At December 31, 2018, the outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility were $260.0 million, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, or approximately 4.00%, and were repaid with a portion of the net proceeds from the 5.625% MTCH Senior Notes, described above. MTCH's Credit Facility expires on December 7, 2023. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on the MTCH consolidated net leverage ratio, and is 30 basis points and 25 basis points at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility bear interest, at MTCH's option, at a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is based on MTCH's consolidated net leverage ratio. The terms of the MTCH Credit Facility require MTCH to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 (in each case as defined in the credit agreement).
The MTCH Term Loan and MTCH Credit Facility contain covenants that would limit MTCH’s ability to pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase MTCH stock in the event MTCH’s secured net leverage ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0, while the MTCH Term Loan remains outstanding and, thereafter, if the consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0, or in the event a default has occurred. There are additional covenants under these MTCH debt agreements that limit the ability of MTCH and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions. Obligations under the MTCH Credit Facility and MTCH Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain MTCH wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries

and are secured by the stock of certain MTCH domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The MTCH Term Loan and outstanding borrowings, if any, under the MTCH Credit Facility rank equally with each other, and have priority over the 6.375%, 5.00% and 5.625% MTCH Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the borrowings under the MTCH credit agreement.
ANGI Term Loan and ANGI Credit Facility
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the ANGI Term Loan was $254.4 million and $261.3 million, respectively. At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the ANGI Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. The spread over LIBOR is subject to change in future periods based on ANGI's consolidated net leverage ratio. The interest rate was approximately 4.00% at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the term of the loan. Additionally, there are quarterly principal payments of $3.4 million through December 31, 2021, $6.9 million for the one-year period ending December 31, 2022 and $10.3 million through maturity of the loan when the final amount of $161.6 million is due.
The terms of the ANGI Term Loan require ANGI 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 (in each case as defined in the credit agreement). The ANGI Term Loan also contains covenants that would limit ANGI’s ability to pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase ANGI stock in the event a default has occurred or ANGI’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.25 to 1.0. There are additional covenants under the ANGI Term Loan that limit the ability of ANGI and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions.
On November 5, 2018, ANGI entered into a five-year $250 million revolving credit facility (the "ANGI Credit Facility"). At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ANGI Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on ANGI's consolidated net leverage ratio most recently reported and is 25 basis points at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Borrowings under the ANGI Credit Facility bear interest, at ANGI's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is based on ANGI's consolidated net leverage ratio. The financial and other covenants are the same as those for the ANGI Term Loan.
The ANGI Term Loan and ANGI Credit Facility are guaranteed by ANGI's wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries
and are secured by substantially all assets of ANGI and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
IAC Exchangeable Notes
0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022
Exchangeable Notes
On October 2, 2017, IAC FinanceCo, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $517.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022. The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 are guaranteed by the Company. Each $1,000 of principal of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 is exchangeable for 6.5713 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $152.18 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon exchange, the Company has the right to settle the principal amount of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 with any of the three following alternatives: (1) shares of the Company's common stock, (2) cash or (3) a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. It is the Company's intention to settle the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 with cash equal to the face amount of the notes upon exchange; any shares issued would be offset by shares received upon exercise of the Note Hedge (described below).
The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 are exchangeable at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2022 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days during the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day; (3) if the issuer calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading

day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as further described under the indenture governing the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022. On or after July 1, 2022 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange all or any portion of their 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 regardless of the foregoing conditions. The Company’s 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 are currently exchangeable; during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, no notes were exchanged.
We separately account for the debt and the equity components of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022, and therefore, the Company recorded an original issue discount and corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital of $70.4 million, which was the fair value attributed to the exchange feature of the debt at issuance. The Company is amortizing the original issue discount utilizing the effective interest method over the life of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022, which increases the effective interest rate from its coupon rate of 0.875% to 3.88%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred interest expense of $5.4 million and $10.8 million, which includes amortization of original issue discount of $3.4 million and $6.8 million, and debt issuance costs of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred interest expense of $5.3 million and $10.5 million, which includes amortization of original issue discount of $3.3 million and $6.5 million, and debt issuance costs of $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized original issue discount was $47.3 million and $54.0 million, resulting in a net carrying value of the liability component of $470.2 million and $463.5 million, respectively.
The if-converted value of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 exceeded its principal amount by $222.2 million and $105.0 million based on the Company's stock price on June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In connection with the debt offering, the Company purchased call options allowing the Company to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) the entire 3.4 million shares that would be issuable upon the exchange of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 at approximately $152.18 per share (the "0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 Hedge"), and sold warrants allowing the holder to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) 3.4 million shares at $229.70 per share (the "0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 Warrants"). The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 Hedge is expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the Company's common stock upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payment IAC FinanceCo, Inc. is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the exchanged notes. The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 Warrants have a dilutive effect on the Company's common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company common stock exceeds its strike price of $229.70.
0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030
Exchangeable Notes
During the second quarter of 2019, IAC FinanceCo 2, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and IAC FinanceCo 3, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030. The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 are both guaranteed by the Company. Each $1,000 of principal of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 is exchangeable for 3.3028 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $302.77 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Each $1,000 of principal of the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 is exchangeable for 3.4323 shares of the Company's common stock, which is equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $291.35 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon exchange, the Company has the right to settle the principal amount of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 with any of the three following alternatives: (1) shares of the Company's common stock, (2) cash or (3) a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The Company's intent is to settle the principal amount of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 in cash upon exchange.
The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 are exchangeable at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2026 and October 15, 2029, respectively, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last
23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days during the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day; (3) if the issuer calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as further described under the indentures governing the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030. Additionally, each of IAC FinanceCo 2, Inc. and IAC FinanceCo 3, Inc. may redeem for cash all or any portion of its applicable notes, at its option, on or after June 20, 2023 and July 20, 2026, respectively, if the last reported sale price of the common stock underlying the respective notes has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is provided, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable issuer provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after March 15, 2026 and October 15, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange all or any portion of their 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, respectively, regardless of the foregoing conditions.
The net proceeds from the sales of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 were approximately $1.1 billion, after deducting fees and expenses. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering were used to pay the net premium of $136.9 million on the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 Hedge and Warrants and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 Hedge and Warrants (described below) and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes.
We separately account for the debt and the equity components of the exchangeable notes and therefore, the Company recorded an original issue discount and corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital of $138.8 million for the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and $189.2 million for the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, which is the fair value attributed to the exchange feature of each series of debt at issuance. The Company is amortizing the original issue discount utilizing the effective interest method over the life of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, which increases the effective interest rate from its coupon rate of 0.875% and 2.00% to 4.98% and 6.29%, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred interest expense of $4.3 million, which includes amortization of original issue discount of $2.6 million, and debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. As of June 30, 2019, the unamortized original issue discount on the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 is $137.3 million, resulting in a net carrying value of the liability component of $437.7 million. As of June 30, 2019, the unamortized original issue discount on the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 is $188.1 million, resulting in a net carrying value of the liability component of $386.9 million.
Note Hedge and Warrants
In connection with the debt offerings, the Company purchased call options allowing the Company to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) the entire 1.9 million and 2.0 million shares that would be issuable upon the exchange of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, respectively, at approximately $302.77 per share (the "0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 Hedge") and $291.35 per share (the "2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 Hedge"), and sold warrants allowing the holder to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events) 1.9 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, at $457.02 per share (the "0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 Warrants" and the "2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 Warrants," respectively).
The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 Hedge and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 Hedge are expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the Company's common stock upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payment IAC FinanceCo 2, Inc. and IAC FinanceCo 3, Inc. are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the exchanged notes. The 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 Warrants and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030 Warrants have a dilutive effect on the Company's common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company common stock exceeds their strike prices of $457.02, respectively.

IAC Senior Notes
The 4.75% Senior Notes were issued by IAC on December 21, 2012. These Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which are designated as guarantor subsidiaries. See "Note 11—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information" for financial information relating to guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The 4.75% Senior Notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date.
IAC Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2019, IAC has a $250 million revolving credit facility (the "IAC Credit Facility"), under which IAC Group, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, is the borrower ("Borrower"), that expires on November 5, 2023. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on the consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) most recently reported, and is 20 basis points at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility bear interest, at the Borrower's option, at a base rate or LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin, which is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Borrower's consolidated net leverage ratio. The terms of the IAC Credit Facility require that the Borrower maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0 before the date on which the Borrower no longer holds majority of the outstanding voting stock of each of ANGI and MTCH ("Trigger Date") and no greater than 2.75 to 1.0 on or after the Trigger Date. The terms of the IAC Credit Facility also restrict the Borrower's ability to incur additional indebtedness. Borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially the same domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the 4.75% Senior Notes and are also secured by the stock of certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries, including the shares of MTCH and ANGI owned by the Borrower. The 4.75% Senior Notes are subordinate to the outstanding borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the assets securing such borrowings.

_____________________
(a) | IAC has the option to settle certain MTCH and ANGI stock-based awards in its shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, it is more dilutive for IAC to settle certain ANGI equity awards and MTCH to settle certain MTCH equity awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, it is more dilutive for IAC to settle certain MTCH and ANGI equity awards. |
(b) | 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, warrants and subsidiary denominated equity, exchange of the Company's Exchangeable Notes and vesting of restricted stock units. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 11.2 million potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 3.4 million and 6.9 million potentially dilutive securities, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. |
(c) | Market-based awards and performance-based stock units ("PSUs") are considered contingently issuable shares. Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of market-based awards and PSUs are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable market or performance condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the market-based awards and PSUs is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For both three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 0.3 million shares underlying market-based awards and PSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the market or performance conditions had not been met. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 0.2 million shares underlying market-based awards and PSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the market or performance conditions had not been met. |
(d) | It is the Company's intention to settle the Exchangeable Notes through a combination of cash, equal to the face amount of the notes, and shares; therefore, the Exchangeable Notes are only dilutive for periods during which the average price of IAC common stock exceeds the approximate $152.18, $302.77 and $291.35 per share exchange price per $1,000 principal amount of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022, the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and the 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, respectively. The average price of IAC common stock was $223.29 and $215.28 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and the dilutive impact of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022, which is the only series of Exchangeable Notes that is currently dilutive, was 1.1 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively. |
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the average price of IAC common stock was $153.21 and the dilutive impact of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 was less than 0.1 million shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the average price of IAC common stock was $150.39 and the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2022 were 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; 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

_____________________
(a) | 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 our performance and that of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our businesses, and this measure is one of the primary metrics on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. 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. |
The following tables reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's reportable segments:

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 we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See "Note 3—Income Taxes" for additional information related to income tax contingencies.
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 certain 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 one of the plaintiffs (Mr. Rad) of his 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. The defendants have appealed from the court's partial denial of their motion to dismiss. On June 3, 2019, the defendants filed a second motion to dismiss based upon certain provisions of the plaintiffs' agreement with a litigation funding firm; the plaintiffs have opposed the motion, which remains pending. Discovery in the case is proceeding. IAC and Match Group believe that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against it.

Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google
A meaningful portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google (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 and six months ended June 30, 2019, consolidated revenue earned from Google was $196.4 million and $392.3 million, respectively, both representing 17%, of the Company's consolidated revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, consolidated revenue earned from Google was $204.9 million and $416.2 million, representing
50
19% and 20%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $73.2 million and $69.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by the Desktop business within the Applications segment and the Ask Media Group within the Emerging & Other segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue from the Services Agreement of $78.1 million and $166.1 million, respectively, was earned within the Applications segment and $104.0 million and $198.2 million, respectively, within the Emerging & Other segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue from the Services Agreement of $107.4 million and $215.9 million, respectively, was earned within the Applications segment and $82.6 million and $168.4 million, respectively, within the Emerging & Other segment.
The current Services Agreement expires on March 31, 2020. On February 11, 2019, the Company and Google amended the Services Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2020. The amendment extends the expiration date of the agreement to March 31, 2023. The Company believes that the amended agreement, taken as a whole, is comparable to the Company’s currently existing agreement with Google. 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 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 have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On May 31, 2019, Google announced policy changes, which became effective on July 1, 2019, related to all extensions distributed through the Chrome Web Store, including the Company's. These policy changes could negatively impact the distribution of our desktop products through the Chrome Web Store and, thereby, reduce the revenue and profits of the Desktop business within our Applications segment, which could in turn reduce the fair value of the Desktop reporting unit and the related intangible asset. A reduction in the fair value of the Desktop reporting unit of approximately 10% would result in an impairment of goodwill equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Any reduction in the fair value of the related intangible asset would result in an impairment equal to such reduction. As of June 30, 2019, the goodwill balance of the Desktop reporting unit and the carrying value of the related intangible asset are $265.1 million and $28.9 million, respectively.
2019 Developments
Investment
In July 2019, the Company completed the initial funding of its $250 million investment in Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace; the remaining funding is expected to be completed in August 2019.

On January 25, 2019, ANGI completed the acquisition of Fixd Repair, LLC and Fixd Services LLC (collectively, "Fixd Repair"), a home warranty and service company.
Disposition
In the first quarter of 2019, Vimeo sold its hardware business resulting in a pre-tax loss of $8.2 million.
Financing Transactions
On July 24, 2019, the Company issued a notice that all outstanding 4.75% Senior Notes will be redeemed on August 23, 2019, which is prior to their maturity date of December 15, 2022.
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company issued a total of $1.15 billion of exchangeable senior notes, as described above in "Long-term debt."
On February 15, 2019, MTCH issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due February 15, 2029.

Second Quarter 2019 and Year to Date June 2019 Consolidated Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2019:
• | Revenue increased $127.5 million, or 12%, to $1.2 billion, due to growth from MTCH of $76.8 million and ANGI of $49.1 million, increases of $7.0 million from Dotdash and $6.2 million from Vimeo, partially offset by decreases of $10.1 million from Applications and $1.3 million from Emerging & Other due, in part, to the sales of Electus, Dictionary.com and CityGrid in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | Operating income decreased $14.1 million, or 8%, to $154.3 million, due to a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 million, described below, increases of $4.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2.3 million in depreciation and a change of $1.6 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in amortization of intangibles. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to modification charges at MTCH and Corporate, and the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period, including those issued in connection with recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of $8.5 million in modification and acceleration charges related to the Combination ($8.2 million in 2019 compared to $16.7 million in 2018). |
• | Adjusted EBITDA decreased $6.0 million, or 2%, to $259.1 million, despite growth of $28.0 million from MTCH and $6.4 million from Dotdash, due primarily to decreases of $15.5 million from ANGI and $10.1 million from Applications, a loss of $1.5 million in 2019 from Emerging & Other compared to a profit of $8.3 million in 2018, and increased losses of $3.0 million and $1.8 million from Corporate and Vimeo, respectively. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019:
• | Revenue increased $238.3 million, or 12%, to $2.3 billion, due to growth from MTCH of $134.0 million and ANGI of $97.2 million, increases of $14.2 million from Vimeo, $10.9 million from Dotdash and $1.4 million from Applications, partially offset by a decrease of $19.4 million from Emerging & Other due, in part, to the sales of Electus, Dictionary.com and CityGrid in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | Operating income decreased $24.2 million, or 9%, to $234.2 million, due to a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million, described below, an increase of $13.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, a change of $2.9 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, and increases of $2.2 million in amortization of intangibles and $2.0 million in depreciation. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to modification charges at MTCH and Corporate, and the issuance of new equity awards since the prior year period, including those issued in connection with recent acquisitions, as well as an expense of $9.4 million related to the vesting of certain awards for which the market condition was met in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by a decrease of $18.1 million in modification and acceleration charges related to the Combination ($17.8 million in 2019 compared to $35.8 million in 2018). The increase in amortization of intangibles was due primarily to recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower expense from the Combination. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.8 million, or 1%, to $449.7 million, despite growth of $45.3 million from MTCH and $9.7 million from Dotdash, due primarily to decreases of $15.0 million from ANGI and $7.1 million from Applications, a loss of $3.6 million in 2019 from Emerging & Other compared to a profit of $16.5 million in 2018, and increased losses of $10.2 million and $6.2 million from Vimeo and Corporate, respectively. |

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018
MTCH revenue increased 18% to $498.0 million driven by International Direct Revenue growth of $50.2 million, or 27%, and North America Direct Revenue growth of $29.3 million, or 13%. Both International and North America Direct Revenue growth were driven by higher Average Subscribers, up 27% to 4.6 million and 9% to 4.5 million, respectively, due primarily to continued growth in Subscribers at Tinder, with Pairs contributing to international growth. Total ARPU increased 2% driven by an increase of 4% in North America ARPU, due to Tinder, as Subscribers purchased premium subscriptions, and 1% in International ARPU, which was unfavorably impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro, British Pound and certain other currencies.
ANGI revenue increased 17% to $343.9 million driven by the Marketplace growth of $54.8 million, or 27%, and growth of $2.2 million, or 13%, at the European businesses, partially offset by a decrease of $7.9 million, or 11%, in Advertising & Other Revenue driven principally by the sale of Felix on December 31, 2018. Marketplace Revenue growth was driven by a 17% increase in Marketplace Service Requests to 7.9 million and an 11% increase in Marketplace Paying SPs to 223,000. Revenue growth at the European businesses was driven by growth across several regions, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound.
Vimeo revenue grew 16% to $45.7 million due to Platform Revenue growth of $9.4 million, or 26%, partially offset by the inclusion in 2018 of $3.3 million of Hardware Revenue. The hardware business was sold in the first quarter of 2019. Platform Revenue growth was driven by an 11% increase in average revenue per subscriber and a 31% increase in Vimeo Ending Subscribers to 1.2 million.
Dotdash revenue increased 23% to $37.7 million due to 28% higher traffic resulting in strong advertising revenue growth, as well as growth in affiliate commerce commission revenue.
Applications revenue decreased 7% to $132.9 million due to a decrease of $29.6 million, or 26%, at Desktop, partially offset by an increase of $19.5 million, or 68%, at Mosaic Group. The decrease at Desktop was driven by lower consumer queries and continuing partnership declines. The increase at Mosaic Group was driven primarily by growth of 37% related to the ongoing transition to subscription products, increased marketing efforts and new products, and the contribution from TelTech.
Emerging & Other revenue decreased 1% to $128.5 million due primarily to the sales of Electus, Dictionary.com and CityGrid in the fourth quarter of 2018 and lower revenue at IAC Films, partially offset by higher revenue at Ask Media Group due to growth in paid traffic, primarily in international markets, and growth at Bluecrew.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018

Revenue growth were due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion. International Direct Revenue was further impacted by a 1% decrease in International ARPU due to unfavorable foreign exchange effects.
ANGI revenue increased 18% to $647.3 million driven by the Marketplace growth of $109.1 million, or 29%, and growth of $4.3 million, or 12%, at the European businesses, partially offset by a decrease of $16.2 million, or 11%, in Advertising & Other Revenue driven primarily by the factors described above in the three-month discussion. Marketplace Service Requests increased 16% to 13.7 million.

Dotdash revenue increased 18% to $71.7 million due to the factors described above in the three-month discussion.
Applications revenue increased 1% to $276.5 million due to an increase of $52.6 million, or 122%, at Mosaic Group, partially offset by a decrease of $51.2 million, or 22%, at Desktop. The increase at Mosaic Group and the decrease at Desktop were driven by the factors described above in the three-month discussion. Mosaic Group revenue was further driven by the acquisition of iTranslate on March 15, 2018 and the transfer of Daily Burn from the Emerging & Other segment effective April 1, 2018.
Emerging & Other revenue decreased 7% to $245.3 million due primarily to the sales of Electus, Dictionary.com and CityGrid in the fourth quarter of 2018 and lower revenue at IAC Films, as well as from the transfer of Daily Burn to Mosaic Group, partially offset by higher revenue at Ask Media Group due to growth in paid traffic, primarily in international markets, and the contribution from Bluecrew.

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation shown separately below) | $276,389 | $58,165 | 27% | $218,224 | |||
As a percentage of revenue | 23% | 21% |
Cost of revenue in 2019 increased from 2018 due to increases of $30.0 million from Emerging & Other and $29.3 million from MTCH.
• | The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to an increase of $35.2 million in traffic acquisition costs, principally driven by an increase at Ask Media Group in the proportion of revenue that results in the payment of traffic acquisition costs and an increase of $6.2 million in payments made to workers staffed by Bluecrew, principally due to higher revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $7.0 million in production costs, driven primarily by the sale of Electus, and the sale of CityGrid in 2018. |
• | The MTCH increase was due primarily to increases of $23.0 million in in-app purchase fees paid to Apple and Google as MTCH's revenues are increasingly sourced through mobile app stores, $4.0 million in hosting fees and $1.6 million in compensation expense. Many brands in MTCH's portfolio have historically offered subscribers a variety of payment methods to purchase subscriptions and à la carte features. Tinder began to offer subscribers an alternative payment method to Google's in-app payment system similar to the payment alternatives other brands in our portfolio have historically offered to subscribers through our mobile apps on Android. If MTCH continues to offer these alternative payment methods to Tinder subscribers, depending on adoption levels, MTCH may see a reduction in Google in-app purchases fees as a percentage of Android revenue in the future. |

Selling and marketing expense in 2019 increased from 2018 due to increases of $54.3 million from ANGI and $4.2 million from Vimeo, partially offset by a decrease of $16.6 million from Emerging & Other.
• | The ANGI increase was due primarily to increases in advertising expense of $39.2 million and compensation expense of $5.7 million as well as $8.8 million of expense from the inclusion of Handy, acquired on October 19, 2018, and Fixd Repair, acquired on January 25, 2019. The increase in advertising expense was due primarily to increased investments in online marketing and television spend. Efficiency of online marketing spend was negatively impacted by traffic sourced through Google. Service requests from free search engine traffic were down from the prior year, while service requests from paid search engine marketing efforts were up, and were considerably more expensive than the prior year. We expect this trend to continue for the near-term. Compensation expense increased due primarily to growth in the sales force. |
• | The Vimeo increase was due primarily to an increase in marketing of $2.6 million related to a brand campaign in 2019 and an increase in compensation expense of $2.0 million, due, in part, to growth in the sales force. |
• | The Emerging & Other decrease was due primarily to a decrease in marketing of $14.0 million at Ask Media Group driven by a shift in revenue resulting in the payment of traffic acquisition costs and the sale of Electus. |

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
IAC 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, however, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC 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.
The following table reconciles net earnings attributable to IAC shareholders to operating income to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA:

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions (including the Combination), of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based RSUs and market-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Performance-based RSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). To the extent that stock-based awards are settled on a net basis, the Company remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.
64
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our property 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 (including the Combination). 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 impairment charges 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, the Company's cash flows are as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | ||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||
Net cash provided by (used in) | |||||||
Operating activities | $ | 355,808 | $ | 379,802 | |||
Investing activities | (132,672 | ) | (165,647 | ) | |||
Financing activities | 796,771 | (202,705 | ) |
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 stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, bad debt expense, unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, and losses and gains from the sale of investments and businesses.
2019
Adjustments to earnings consist primarily of $129.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $42.4 million of amortization of intangibles, $40.1 million of depreciation, and $33.4 million of bad debt expense, partially offset by $57.2 million of deferred income taxes and $29.2 million of net unrealized gains on certain equity securities. The deferred income tax benefit primarily relates to the net operating loss created by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $125.0 million and a decrease in income taxes payable and receivable of $8.0 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $41.5 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth at ANGI and MTCH as well as the timing of cash receipts at MTCH, ANGI and Applications, including cash received in the fourth quarter of 2018 rather than in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in income taxes payable and receivable is primarily due to income tax payments in excess of tax accruals in foreign jurisdictions. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to growth in subscription sales at MTCH, Vimeo, and Applications.
Net cash used in investing activities includes cash used for acquisitions of $201.0 million, principally related to the acquisitions of Magisto and Fixd Repair, and capital expenditures of $76.6 million, primarily related to investments in the development of capitalized software at ANGI and MTCH to support their products and services, leasehold improvements at ANGI, and the payment of a deposit for an ownership interest in an aircraft at Corporate, partially offset by proceeds from maturities (net of purchases) of marketable debt securities of $123.8 million, and net proceeds from the sale of businesses and investments of $23.4 million, principally related to the December 31, 2018 sale of Felix.
Net cash provided by financing activities includes $1.2 billion in proceeds from the issuance of the 0.875% Exchangeable Notes due 2026 and 2.00% Exchangeable Notes due 2030, $350.0 million in proceeds from the 5.625% MTCH Senior Notes, $40.0 million in borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility, and $9.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of IAC stock options, partially offset by $300.0 million to repay the outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility, $138.5 million and $26.2 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of MTCH and ANGI employees, respectively, for stock-based awards that were net settled, $136.9 million used to pay the net premium on the exchangeable note hedge transactions, $76.1 million for the repurchase of 1.2 million shares of MTCH common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $62.53 per share, $32.8 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $26.4 million of debt issuance costs, $6.9 million in principal payments on ANGI debt, and $6.1 million for the purchase of noncontrolling interest.
67
2018
Adjustments to earnings primarily consist of $116.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $40.1 million of amortization of intangibles, $38.1 million of depreciation and $20.9 million of bad debt expense, partially offset by $126.6 million of net unrealized gains on certain equity securities, $27.2 million of gains from the sale of investments and $11.3 million of deferred income taxes. The deferred income tax benefit primarily relates to the net operating loss created by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by the deferred income tax provision on the net unrealized gains on certain equity securities. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $60.2 million, an increase in other assets of $38.2 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $45.6 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth at ANGI, MTCH and Ask Media Group. The increase in other assets is primarily related to increases in prepaid hosting services and capitalized mobile app store fees at MTCH and increases in capitalized sales commissions and prepaid marketing at ANGI. The increase in deferred revenue is due mainly to growth in subscription sales at MTCH, Vimeo and ANGI and an increase at Electus mainly due to the timing of cash received related to various production deals.
Net cash used in investing activities includes purchases (net of maturities) of marketable debt securities of $114.4 million, cash used for acquisitions and investments of $48.7 million, and capital expenditures of $39.7 million, primarily related to investments in the development of capitalized software at ANGI and MTCH to support their products and services and computer hardware, partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of investments of $27.5 million and $10.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of Angie's List's campus located in Indianapolis.
Net cash used in financing activities includes $115.3 million and $21.4 million for withholding taxes paid on behalf of MTCH and ANGI employees, respectively, for stock-based awards that were net settled, $73.9 million for the repurchase of 1.7 million shares, on a settlement date basis, of MTCH common stock at an average price of $43.43 per share, $7.9 million for the repurchase of 0.1 million shares, on a settlement date basis, of IAC common stock at an average price of $150.81 per share, and $6.9 million in principal payments on ANGI debt, partially offset by $27.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of IAC stock options.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash flows generated from operations and available borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility. IAC's consolidated cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2019 were $3.3 billion, of which $380.6 million was held by ANGI and $266.4 million was held by MTCH. The Company generated $355.8 million of operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019, of which $232.6 million was generated by MTCH and $103.0 million was generated by ANGI. Each of MTCH and ANGI 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 MTCH and ANGI and their respective subsidiaries. In addition, certain agreements governing MTCH and ANGI indebtedness limit the payment of dividends or distributions and loans or advances to stockholders, including the Company, in the event a default has occurred or in the case of MTCH, its secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the MTCH Term Loan) exceeds 2.0 to 1.0 or its consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in certain MTCH indentures) exceeds 5.0 to 1.0 , and in the case of ANGI, its consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the ANGI Term Loan) exceeds 4.5 to 1.0. There were no such limitations at June 30, 2019.
There were no outstanding borrowings under the IAC, MTCH and ANGI credit facilities at June 30, 2019.
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 2019 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2018 capital expenditures of $85.6 million by approximately 65% to 80%, driven by higher capital expenditures at ANGI related to the development of capitalized software to support its products and services and leasehold improvements, and higher capital expenditures at Corporate, as well as leasehold improvements related to the expansion of office space at Tinder. During 2019, the Company will make payments totaling approximately $23.0 million to purchase a 50% ownership interest in an aircraft, of which $13.5 million was made in April of 2019. A balance of approximately $13.5 million is due upon delivery of the new aircraft, which is expected to occur in late 2020 or early 2021.
At June 30, 2019, IAC has 8.0 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, MTCH repurchased 1.3 million shares, on a trade date basis, of its common stock at an average price of $62.84 per share, or $80.9 million in aggregate. From July 1, 2019 through August 2, 2019, MTCH
68
repurchased an additional 0.2 million shares at an average price of $71.23 per share, or $15.3 million in aggregate. MTCH has 1.4 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
On February 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of ANGI authorized ANGI to repurchase up to 15 million shares of its common stock. All shares remain in its repurchase authorization.
IAC, MTCH and ANGI may purchase 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.
The Company has granted stock settled stock appreciation rights denominated in the equity of certain non-publicly traded subsidiaries to employees and management of those subsidiaries. These equity awards are settled on a net basis, with the award holder entitled to receive a payment in IAC shares equal to the intrinsic value of the award at exercise less an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment. The number of IAC common shares that would be required to net settle these vested and unvested interests at current estimated fair values, other than for MTCH, ANGI and their subsidiaries, at August 2, 2019, is 0.1 million shares. In addition, withholding taxes, which will be paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon exercise, would have been $15.9 million at August 2, 2019, assuming a 50% withholding rate. The number of IAC common shares ultimately needed to settle these awards may vary significantly as a result of both movements in the Company's stock price and the determination of fair value of the relevant subsidiary that is different than the Company's estimate. The Company's RSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock. These equity awards are settled on a net basis. The number of IAC common shares that would be required to net settle these awards at August 2, 2019 is 0.1 million shares. In addition, withholding taxes, which will be paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon vest, would have been $28.9 million at August 2, 2019, assuming a 50% withholding rate.
The Company currently settles all stock options on a net basis. Assuming all stock options outstanding on August 2, 2019, were net settled on that date, the Company would have issued 1.9 million common shares (of which 1.6 million is related to vested options and 0.4 million is related to unvested options) and would have remitted $461.5 million (of which $370.4 million is related to vested options and $91.1 million is related to unvested options) in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate).
Certain equity awards issued prior to the MTCH initial public offering and the Combination to employees of MTCH and ANGI and denominated in the shares of those subsidiaries may be settled using IAC shares at the Company's election.
MTCH currently settles substantially all equity awards on a net basis. Assuming all MTCH equity awards outstanding on August 2, 2019 were net settled on that date, MTCH would have issued 8.3 million common shares (of which 1.8 million is related to vested shares and 6.5 million is related to unvested shares) and would have remitted $623.7 million (of which $138.2 million is related to vested shares and $485.5 million is related to unvested shares) in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate). Certain MTCH stock options ("Tandem Awards") can be settled in MTCH or IAC common stock at the Company's election. Assuming all vested and unvested Tandem Awards outstanding on August 2, 2019 were exercised on that date and settled using IAC stock, 0.4 million IAC common shares would have been issued in settlement and MTCH would have issued 1.2 million shares, which is included in the amount above, to IAC as reimbursement.
In connection with the Combination, previously issued stock appreciation rights related to the common stock of HomeAdvisor (US) were converted into ANGI stock appreciation rights that are settleable, at ANGI's option, on a net basis with ANGI remitting withholding taxes on behalf of the employee or on a gross basis with ANGI issuing a sufficient number of Class A shares to cover the withholding taxes. In addition, at IAC's option, these awards can be settled in either Class A shares of ANGI or shares of IAC common stock. If settled in IAC common stock, ANGI reimburses IAC in either cash or through the issuance of Class A shares to IAC. Assuming all of the stock appreciation rights outstanding on August 2, 2019 were net settled on that date using IAC stock, 0.5 million IAC common shares would have been issued in settlement, IAC would have been issued 9.1 million shares of ANGI Class A stock and ANGI would have remitted $122.6 million in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate). ANGI's cash withholding obligation on all other ANGI net settled awards outstanding on August 2, 2019 is $42.7 million (assuming a 50% withholding rate), which is the equivalent of 3.2 million shares.
Prior to the Combination, the Company issued a number of IAC denominated PSUs to certain ANGI employees. Vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon ANGI's performance. These awards are settled in shares of IAC common stock. ANGI reimburses IAC, at IAC's option, in either cash or through the issuance of Class B shares to IAC. Assuming all of the PSUs outstanding on August 2, 2019 were net settled on that date using IAC stock, 0.1 million IAC common shares would have been
69
issued in settlement, IAC would have been issued 1.0 million shares of ANGI Class B stock and ANGI would have remitted $13.4 million in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate).
As of June 30, 2019, IAC's economic and voting interest in MTCH is 80.4% and 97.5%, respectively, and in ANGI is 83.1% and 98.0%, respectively. As described above, certain MTCH and ANGI equity awards can be settled either in IAC common shares or the common shares of these subsidiaries at IAC's election. The Company currently expects to settle a sufficient number of awards in IAC shares to maintain an economic interest in both MTCH and ANGI of at least 80% and to otherwise take such other steps as necessary to maintain an economic interest in each of MTCH and ANGI of at least 80%.
The Company does not expect to be a full U.S. federal cash income taxpayer until 2022. The ultimate timing is dependent upon a number of factors, including the performance of the Company, other components of pre-tax income (including realized gains and losses) and the amount and timing of tax deductions related to stock-based awards.
At June 30, 2019, all of the Company’s international cash can be repatriated without significant tax consequences.
The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, available borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility and expected positive cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and investing and other commitments for the foreseeable future. The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services. The Company’s indebtedness 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 may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make additional acquisitions and investments or to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

(a) | The Company has excluded $48.6 million in unrecognized tax benefits and related interest from the table above as we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which these liabilities might be paid. For additional information on income taxes, see "Note 3—Income Taxes" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements." |
(b) | Represents contractual amounts due including interest on both fixed and variable rate instruments. Long-term debt at June 30, 2019 consists of $2.9 billion bearing interest at fixed rates and $679.4 million bearing interest at variable rates. The variable rate instruments consist of a $425.0 million MTCH Term Loan and a $254.4 million ANGI Term Loan. The MTCH Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%, or 4.90%, at June 30, 2019. The ANGI Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, or approximately 4.00% at June 30, 2019. The amount of interest ultimately paid on the MTCH and ANGI term loans may differ based on changes in interest rates. For additional information on long-term debt arrangements, see "Note 5—Long-term Debt" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements." |
(c) | The Company leases land, office space, data center facilities and equipment used in connection with operations under various operating leases, the majority of which contain escalation clauses. Operating leases obligations include legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced. The Company is also committed to pay a portion of the related operating expenses under certain lease agreements. These operating expenses are not included in the table above. For additional information on operating leases, see "Note 2—Leases" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements." |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relating to long-term debt, including current maturities, has changed since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for:
• | IAC FinanceCo 2, Inc.’s issuance during the second quarter of 2019, of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.875% Exchangeable Senior Notes due June 15, 2026 and IAC FinanceCo 3, Inc.’s issuance during the second quarter of 2019, of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due January 15, 2030; and |
• | MTCH's issuance, on February 15, 2019, of $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due February 15, 2029; a portion of the proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the MTCH Credit Facility. |
The Company's outstanding debt is described in "Note 5—Long-term Debt" to the consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements."
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2019, the Company's outstanding debt was $3.6 billion, of which $2.9 billion bears interest at fixed rates. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on market rates. A 100-basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the fixed-rate debt by $130.4 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of fixed-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. The $425.0 million MTCH Term Loan and the $254.4 million outstanding balance on the ANGI Term Loan bear interest at variable rates. The MTCH Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%. As of June 30, 2019, the rate in effect was 4.90%. If LIBOR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, then the annual interest expense on the MTCH Term Loan would increase or decrease by $4.3 million. The ANGI Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. As of June 30, 2019, the rate in effect was approximately 4.00%. If LIBOR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, then the annual interest expense on the ANGI Term Loan would increase or decrease by $2.6 million.

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"), IAC management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are (or may become) parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters may be material to our financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Consumer Class Action Challenging Tinder’s Age‑Tiered Pricing
On May 28, 2015, a putative state‑wide class action was filed against Tinder in state court in California. See Allan Candelore v. Tinder, Inc., No. BC583162 (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint principally alleged that Tinder violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act (the "Unruh Act") by offering and charging users age 30 and over a higher price than younger users for subscriptions to its premium Tinder Plus service. The complaint sought certification of a class of California Tinder Plus subscribers age 30 and over and damages in an unspecified amount. On September 21, 2015, Tinder filed a demurrer seeking dismissal of the complaint. On October 26, 2015, the court issued an opinion sustaining Tinder’s demurrer to the complaint without leave to amend, ruling that the age‑based pricing differential for Tinder Plus subscriptions did not violate California law in essence because offering a discount to users under age 30 was neither invidious nor unreasonable in light of that age group’s generally more limited financial means. On December 29, 2015, in accordance with its ruling, the court entered judgment dismissing the action. On February 1, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal from the judgment, and the parties thereafter briefed the appeal. On January 29, 2018, the California Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division Three) issued an opinion reversing the judgment of dismissal, ruling that the lower court had erred in sustaining Tinder’s demurrer because the complaint, as pleaded, stated a cognizable claim for violation of the Unruh Act. Because we believe that the appellate court’s reasoning was flawed as a matter of law and runs afoul of binding California precedent, on March 12, 2018, Tinder filed a petition with the California Supreme Court seeking interlocutory review of the Court of Appeal’s decision. On May 9, 2018, the California Supreme Court denied the petition. The case was then returned to the trial court for further proceedings and is currently in discovery.
In a related development, on June 19, 2019, in a substantially similar putative class action asserting the same substantive claims and pending in federal district court in California, the court issued an order granting final approval to a class-wide settlement, the terms of which are not material to Match Group. See Lisa Kim v. Tinder, Inc., No. 18-cv-3093 (U.S. District Court, Central District of California). On June 21, 2019, the Kim court entered judgment in accordance with its prior order. Because the approved settlement class in Kim subsumes the proposed settlement class in Candelore, the judgment in Kim would effectively render Candelore a single-plaintiff lawsuit. Accordingly, on July 11, 2019, two objectors to the Kim settlement, represented by the plaintiff’s counsel in Candelore, filed a notice of appeal from the Kim judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We and Match Group believe that the allegations in the Candelore lawsuit are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against it.
Tinder Optionholder Litigation against IAC and Match Group
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 certain 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 one of the plaintiffs (Mr. Rad) of his 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.
74
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 court’s partial denial of their motion to dismiss. On July 2, 2019, the defendants filed their opening brief on appeal.
On June 3, 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 plaintiffs have opposed the 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 Sean Rad for breach of contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged misappropriation of confidential company information. Discovery in the case is proceeding. IAC and Match Group believe that the allegations against IAC and Match Group in this lawsuit are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against it.
FTC Investigation of Certain Match.com Business Practices
In March 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") requested information and documents in connection with a civil investigation regarding certain business practices of Match.com. The FTC raised certain potential claims relating to Match.com’s marketing, chargeback and online cancellation practices. In November 2018, the FTC offered to resolve its potential claims via a consent judgment mandating certain changes in Match.com’s business practices, as well as a payment in the amount of $60 million. Discussions between Match Group and the FTC ensued, but no resolution was reached. On August 7, 2019, the FTC voted to assert claims against Match Group and referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ"). Match Group expects to continue discussions with the FTC and DOJ. In the event no settlement is reached and litigation ensues, the amounts sought may be substantially higher than the amounts discussed in settlement. We and Match Group believe that the FTC’s claims regarding Match.com’s practices, policies and procedures are without merit and are prepared to defend vigorously against them.
