Q1 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Between February 14, 2023 and May 5, 2023, IAC repurchased 3.1 million common shares for an aggregate of $158 million (average price of $50.86 per share).

 

·Angi Inc. revenue was $392 million, reflecting the change to net revenue recognition for Services, which took effect January 1, 2023. On a pro forma net basis, revenue increased 1% in Q1 2023 reflecting Ads and Leads revenue of $294 million (flat year-over-year), 14% Services growth and 5% Roofing growth.

 

oOperating loss decreased to $10 million (compared to a loss of $34 million in Q1 2022) and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $31 million (compared to a loss of $3 million in Q1 2022).

 

·Dotdash Meredith Digital revenue was $185 million and Print revenue was $207 million.

 

oOperating loss of $111 million reflects $70 million related to a non-cash lease impairment.

 

oAdjusted EBITDA loss of $23 million in Q1 2023 reflects $45 million of the aforementioned non-cash lease impairment.

 

·Emerging & Other revenue decreased 8% year-over-year to $154 million, operating income increased $16 million to $11 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $14 million to $15 million. Q1 revenue reflects:

 

oThe sale of Bluecrew on November 9, 2022, which was included in the prior year period results.

 

o51% growth from Vivian Health and 5% growth from Care.com.

 

·On April 25, 2023, IAC purchased additional shares in Turo for $104 million. Following the purchase, IAC’s aggregate percentage ownership in Turo is 31%.

 

·IAC holds 64.7 million shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”). IAC’s Net earnings (loss) and Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect increases or decreases in MGM’s share price as unrealized gains and losses. As a result, Net earnings (loss) and Diluted earnings (loss) per share can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance. IAC’s stake in MGM was purchased for $1.3 billion in 2020 and 2022 and is worth $2.8 billion as of May 5, 2023.

DILUTIVE SECURITIES

 

IAC has various dilutive securities. The table below details these securities as well as potential dilution at various stock prices (shares in millions; rounding differences may occur).

 

       Avg.                     
       Exercise   As of     
   Shares   Price   5/5/23   Dilution at: 
Share Price            $53.10   $55.00   $60.00   $65.00   $70.00 
                                    
Absolute Shares as of 5/5/23   82.9         82.9    82.9    82.9    82.9    82.9 
                                    
Restricted stock, RSUs and non-publicy traded subsidiary denominated equity awards   5.3         0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6 
Options   2.8   $14.07    0.5    0.6    0.6    0.6    0.6 
Total Dilution             1.2    1.2    1.2    1.2    1.2 
% Dilution             1.4%   1.4%   1.4%   1.4%   1.4%
Total Diluted Shares Outstanding             84.0    84.0    84.0    84.0    84.0 

 

The dilutive securities presentation is calculated using the methods and assumptions described below, which are different from those used for GAAP dilution, which is calculated based on the treasury stock method. In addition, absolute shares exclude 3 million shares of restricted stock because this award is unvested as of May 5, 2023.

 

The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis; therefore, the dilutive effect is presented as the net number of shares expected to be issued upon vesting or exercise, and in the case of options, assuming no proceeds are received by the Company. Any required withholding taxes are paid in cash by the Company on behalf of the employees. In addition, the estimated income tax benefit from the tax deduction received upon the vesting or exercise of these awards is assumed to be used to repurchase IAC shares. Assuming all awards were settled on May 5, 2023, withholding taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $113.1 million (of which approximately 60% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before March 31, 2024) assuming a stock price of $53.10 and a 50% withholding rate. The table above assumes no change in the fair value estimate of the non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated equity awards from the values used at March 31, 2023. The number of shares ultimately needed to settle these awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant subsidiary. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.

 

Angi Inc. Equity Awards and the Treatment of the Related Dilutive Effect

 

Certain Angi Inc. equity awards can be settled either in IAC or Angi Inc. common shares at IAC’s election. For purposes of the dilution calculation above, these awards are assumed to be settled in shares of Angi Inc. common stock; therefore, no dilution from these awards is included.

IAC PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA, Angi Inc. Pro Forma Net Revenue and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses and which our internal budgets are based and may impact management compensation. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measures presented by providing the comparable GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measures. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures, which are included in this release. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

 

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

 

Angi Inc. Pro Forma Net Revenue reflects the revenue for Services jobs on a net basis for all periods presented for the Services segment and on a consolidated basis. Angi Inc. modified the Services terms and conditions so that the service professional, rather than Angi Inc., has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and Angi Inc.'s performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the service professional. This change in contractual terms requires revenue be reported as the net amount of what is received from the consumer after deducting the amounts owed to the service professional providing the service effective for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2022. We believe Pro Forma Net Revenue is useful for analysts and investors because it can enhance the comparability of revenue trends between periods and we use it for that purpose internally.

 

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to analysts and investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account non-operational cash movements. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. For example, it does not take into account stock repurchases. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA

 

Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans and expense related to awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method.  The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding amounts for net-settled awards from its current funds.

 

Please see page 9 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of May 5, 2023 and a description of the calculation methodology.

 

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our capitalized software, equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.

 

Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as advertiser relationships, technology, licensee relationships, trade names, content, service professional relationships, customer lists and user base and subscriber relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are accounting adjustments to report contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business.

 

Metric Definitions

 

Dotdash Meredith

 

Digital Revenue – Includes Advertising revenue, Performance Marketing revenue and Licensing and Other revenue.

 

(a) Advertising revenue – primarily includes revenue generated from display advertisements sold both directly through our sales team and via programmatic exchanges.

 

(b) Performance Marketing revenue – primarily includes revenue generated through affiliate commerce, affinity marketing channels, and performance marketing commissions. Affiliate commerce commission revenue is generated when Dotdash Meredith refers users to commerce partner websites resulting in a purchase or transaction. Affinity marketing programs market and place magazine subscriptions for both Dotdash Meredith and third-party publisher titles. Performance marketing commissions are generated on a cost-per-click or cost-per-action basis.

 

(c) Licensing and Other revenue – primarily includes revenue generated through brand and content licensing agreements. Brand licensing generates royalties from multiple long-term trademark licensing agreements with retailers, manufacturers, publishers and service providers. Content licensing royalties are earned from our relationship with Apple News + as well as other content distribution relationships.

 

Print Revenue – Primarily includes subscription, advertising, newsstand and performance marketing revenue.

 

Angi Inc.

 

Ads and Leads Revenue - Reflects domestic ads and leads revenue, including consumer connection revenue for consumer matches, revenue from service professionals under contract for advertising and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers.

 

Services Revenue – Reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through an Angi Inc. platform and Angi Inc. connects them with a service professional to perform the service.

 

Roofing Revenue – Reflects revenue from the roof replacement business offering by which the consumer purchases services directly from Angi Inc. and Angi Inc. engages a service professional to perform the service.

 

International Revenue – Reflects revenue generated within the International segment (consisting of businesses in Europe and Canada), including consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers.

 

Other – Reflects costs for corporate initiatives, shared costs, such as executive and public company costs, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments.

 

Pro Forma Net Revenue – From January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, Angi Inc. modified the Services terms and conditions so that the service professional, rather than Angi Inc., has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the service professional. This change in contractual terms requires revenue be reported as the net amount of what is received from the consumer after deducting the amounts owed to the service professional providing the service effective for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2022. There is no impact to operating (loss) income or Adjusted EBITDA from the change in revenue recognition.

 

(a) Pro Forma Services Net Revenue – reflects Services revenue on a net basis for all periods presented.
