NEW YORK— August 4, 2025—IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) released its second quarter results today and separately posted a Q2 2025 earnings presentation on the Investor Relations section of its website at ir.iac.com.
“IAC’s second quarter earnings turn the page to a new era for the industry-leading People Inc., a name that fits the way good names should: effortlessly and intuitively. With seven consecutive quarters of Digital revenue growth, People Inc. continues to build and innovate, backed by premier brands, superior technology and unmatched scale,” said Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive, IAC. “We may have been quiet on capital allocation this quarter but don’t mistake silence for inertia.

Unconstrained, we intend to do exactly as we set out to do — catalyze opportunities, optimize our assets, and unlock shareholder value.”

•Revenue of $427.4 million increased 1% year-over-year reflecting:
◦9% Digital revenue growth driven by:
▪Advertising revenue increased 5%, accelerating from 1% growth in Q1 2025, reflecting:
•Higher premium advertising revenue due primarily to the Health and Pharmaceuticals, Technology and Travel categories
•Lower programmatic advertising revenue due to lower impression volumes driven primarily by the higher premium advertising growth and related impression consumption, partially offset by higher rates
▪Performance marketing revenue increased 14%, accelerating from 11% growth in Q1 2025, driven by 25% affiliate commerce growth, partially offset by revenue declines from services, concentrated primarily in the Finance category
▪Licensing and other revenue increased 23% due primarily to improved performance from content syndication partners and Apple News+, as well as a full quarter of OpenAI revenue (partnership began in May 2024)
◦9% Print revenue declines driven by the ongoing portfolio optimization and the continued migration of audience and advertising spend from print to digital

•Operating income of $34.8 million increased 90% reflecting:
◦Digital operating income increased 46% to $38.1 million reflecting:
▪$11.6 million lower amortization of intangibles due to certain definite lived intangible assets that became fully amortized in 2024
▪Adjusted EBITDA declined 1% to $63.0 million due to higher cost of revenue, an increase in online marketing spend and investments in Q2 2025 related to D/Cipher+ and product (the PEOPLE app), partially offset by higher revenue
◦Print operating income increased 102% to $11.2 million reflecting:
▪Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $16.7 million due to lower operating expenses resulting from continued cost rationalization, partially offset by revenue declines
▪$1.4 million lower amortization of intangibles and $0.5 million lower depreciation
◦Other operating loss increased 10% to $14.5 million due primarily to $1.2 million higher stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by 1% lower Adjusted EBITDA losses

Care.com
•Revenue decreased 6% to $82.0 million reflecting:
◦9% decrease in Consumer revenue driven by lower subscriptions on the Care.com platform
◦4% decrease in Enterprise revenue primarily driven by lower overall product utilization
•Operating income was $3.0 million compared to a loss of $1.0 million in Q2 2024 due primarily to Adjusted EBITDA increasing $3.1 million to $5.8 million reflecting:
◦$9.5 million in legal accruals in Q2 2024 related to the resolution of certain legal matters
◦Lower revenue
Search
•Revenue decreased 39% to $61.7 million reflecting:
◦39% decrease at Ask Media Group due to channel mix and an overall reduction in traffic acquisition costs driving fewer visitors to ad-supported search and content websites
◦41% decrease at Desktop (legacy desktop search software business)
•Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA both increased 10% to $5.1 million due to lower traffic acquisition costs and lower compensation costs, partially offset by lower revenue
Emerging & Other
•Revenue decreased 20% to $15.9 million reflecting:
◦$4.7 million lower IAC Films revenue
◦Flat Vivian Health revenue year-over-year, representing an improvement from the 7% decline in Q1 2025
◦14% growth from The Daily Beast
•Operating loss increased $2.4 million to $9.2 million reflecting:
◦$2.6 million higher stock-based compensation expense
◦ $0.2 million lower Adjusted EBITDA losses to $6.3 million due to reduced losses at The Daily Beast and profits at Vivian Health as compared to losses in Q2 2024, partially offset by higher legal fees related to a legacy business and losses at IAC Films as compared to profits in Q2 2024
Page 7 of 21
Corporate
Operating loss decreased $3.7 million to $33.1 million reflecting:
•$4.0 million lower stock-based compensation expense due primarily to inclusion of expense in Q2 2024 related to the former IAC CEO’s restricted stock award which was forfeited on January 13, 2025
•$0.3 million higher Adjusted EBITDA losses driven primarily by higher legal fees and lower allocations due to the Angi Inc. spin-off, which was completed on March 31, 2025, partially offset by lower compensation costs
Investment in MGM
IAC holds 64.7 million shares of MGM, which were purchased for $1.3 billion, and were worth $2.3 billion as of August 1, 2025. Net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect changes in MGM’s share price as unrealized gains and losses and, as a result, can be very volatile, which reduces their ability to be effective measures to assess operating performance.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $63.0 million in Q2 2025 for an effective tax rate of 23%, which was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to state taxes. In Q2 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $40.4 million for an effective tax rate of 22%, which was higher than the statutory rate due primarily to state taxes and research credits, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

Free Cash Flow
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $2.7 million, a $62.8 million decrease from cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Free Cash Flow decreased $65.6 million to negative $11.8 million due primarily to unfavorable working capital (including $43.1 million of payments at People Inc. related to the termination of a lease) and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2025:
•IAC had 79.9 million shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding.
•The Company had $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents of which IAC held $831 million and People Inc. held $263 million. The People Inc. cash balance includes $80 million of cash that had been contributed to People Inc. by the Company in June 2025 that was subsequently distributed to IAC by People Inc. in July 2025.
•The Company had $1.45 billion in long-term debt, which is the obligation of People Inc.
•IAC owned 64.7 million shares of MGM.
In Q2 2025, People Inc. successfully refinanced $1.47 billion of its then outstanding debt, extending its maturities until 2030 and 2032. The refinancing consists of the following:
•$350 million Term Loan A-1 due in 2030.
•$150 million revolving credit facility that expires in 2030 (no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and currently has no borrowings outstanding).
•$700 million Term Loan B-2 facility due in 2032.
•$400 million 7.625% senior secured notes due in 2032.
The proceeds of the new debt financing plus cash on hand were used to repay People Inc.’s existing term loan facilities. As of June 30, 2025, People Inc. had a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years and weighted average borrowing cost of 7.4%.
As of June 30, 2025, People Inc.’s net consolidated leverage ratio defined in its credit agreement remained below 4.0x, providing IAC with increased financial flexibility.
As of August 1, 2025, IAC had 9.2 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
Share repurchases can be made over an indefinite period of time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, price and future outlook.
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).

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.
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 exercised or vested on August 1, 2025, withholding taxes payable by the Company on behalf of the employees upon net settlement would have been $72.5 million (of which approximately 50% would be payable for awards currently vested and those vesting on or before June 30, 2026), assuming a stock price of $38.83 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 June 30, 2025. 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.

FULL YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK
Please find below our full year 2025 outlook. As stewards of shareholder capital, we continually evaluate investment opportunities and are prepared to diverge from our stated outlook when we identify compelling prospects that we believe will create long-term value, even if they may impact short-term results. We also acknowledge that, at times, our expectations about the future may not materialize as anticipated. With that caution in mind, here’s our current outlook:

Additional Q3/FY 2025 Observations
•People Inc. – In Q3, we expect Digital revenue growth of 7%-9% and total Adjusted EBITDA between $68-$73 million. For FY 2025, we expect Digital revenue growth between 7%-10% given the ongoing volatility in the macro-economic environment.
•Care.com – In Q3, we expect revenue declines of 4%-7% and Adjusted EBITDA between $6-$10 million which reflects approximately $3 million expense related to a real estate impairment expected in the quarter.
•Search – In Q3, we expect revenue of $55-$65 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3-$4 million.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
IAC reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are supplemental measures to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is our primary segment measure of profitability; it and Free Cash Flow are among the metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, and our internal budgets are based and may also 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 EBITDA (Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) 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, if applicable. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations, 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 that are denominated in IAC common shares and expense related to awards denominated in the equity of 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; the related shares are included in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company currently settles all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding on behalf of employees for net-settled awards from its current funds.
Please see page 11 for a summary of our dilutive securities, including stock-based awards as of August 1, 2025, and a description of the calculation methodology.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software 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 acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company 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 liabilities for the portion of the purchase price of acquisitions, if applicable, that is contingent upon the financial performance and/or operating targets of the acquired company at fair value that are recognized in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. 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.

These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: the future financial performance of IAC and its businesses, the rebrand of Dotdash Meredith as People Inc., business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which IAC’s businesses operate and other similar matters. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) our ability to compete with generative artificial intelligence technology and the related disruption to marketing technologies and the publishing industry, (ii) unstable market and economic conditions (particularly those that adversely impact advertising spending levels and consumer confidence and spending behavior), either generally and/or in any of the markets in which our businesses operate, as well as geopolitical conflicts, (iii) our ability to market our products and services in a successful and cost-effective manner, (iv) the display prominence of links to websites offering our products and services in search results, (v) changes in our relationship with (or policies implemented by) Google, (vi) the failure or delay of the markets and industries in which our businesses operate to migrate online and the continued growth and acceptance of online products and services as effective alternatives to traditional products and services, (vii) our continued ability to develop and monetize versions of our products and services for mobile and other digital devices, (viii) the ability of our Digital business to successfully expand the digital reach of our portfolio of publishing brands, (ix) our continued ability to market, distribute and monetize our products and services through search engines, digital app stores, advertising networks and social media platforms, (x) risks related to our Print business including declining revenue, increases in paper and postage costs, reliance on a single supplier to print our magazines and potential increases in pension plan obligations, (xi) our ability to establish and maintain relationships with quality and trustworthy caregivers, (xii) our ability to access, collect, use and protect the personal data of our users and subscribers, (xiii) our ability to engage directly with users, subscribers, consumers and caregivers on a timely basis, (xiv) the ability of our Chairman and Senior Executive and certain members of his family to exercise significant influence over the composition of our board of directors, matters subject to stockholder approval and our operations, (xv) risks related to our liquidity and indebtedness (the impact of our indebtedness on our ability to operate our business, our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness and interest rate risk), (xvi) our inability to freely access the cash of People Inc. and its subsidiaries, (xvii) dilution with respect to investments in IAC, (xviii) our ability to compete, (xix) our ability to build, maintain and/or enhance our various brands, (xx) our ability to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks (including cyberattacks experienced by third parties with whom we do business), (xxi) the occurrence of data security breaches and/or fraud, (xxii) increased liabilities and costs related to the processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal and confidential user information, (xxiii) the integrity, quality, efficiency and scalability of our systems, technology and infrastructure (and those of third parties with whom we do business), (xxiv) changes in key personnel and risks related to leadership transitions and (xxv) changes to our capital deployment strategy. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are described in IAC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025, and subsequent reports that IAC files with the SEC. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we may make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
