Material and Potentially Price-Sensitive Developments

  • Spin-off of Angi (including Roofing) completed March 31, 2025. IAC no longer owns any Angi shares. Historical reporting has been adjusted accordingly.
  • These transactions streamline IAC’s focus, potentially improving capital allocation and shareholder value.

  • Net gains in 2025 from office space and lease amendments partially offset by additional severance expenses.
• Stock-Based Compensation and Non-Recurring Expenses:
  • Stock-based compensation expense remained material, with \$27.9 million reported for full year 2025 (fluctuating quarterly).
• Investment Volatility:
  • Material unrealized losses and gains on the MGM Resorts International investment, with a \$721.7 million loss in 2023 and significant gains/losses in subsequent quarters, causing substantial quarterly volatility in net income.

Segment Performance

• People Inc. Digital:
  • 2025 revenue of \$1.16 billion, up from \$1.09 billion in 2024 and \$939.9 million in 2023.
  • Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA both showed strong improvement in 2025, despite one-time severance costs in Q3.
• People Inc. Print:
  • Ongoing revenue decline (2025: \$622.3 million; 2024: \$711.6 million; 2023: \$776.0 million).
  • Cost reductions, including headcount cuts, kept the print segment profitable on an EBITDA basis.
• Emerging & Other:
  • Continued to generate losses, primarily due to legacy legal costs and one-off impairment charges.
• Corporate:
  • Corporate-level costs remain high, with over \$116 million in operating expenses for 2025.

Outlook and Potential Share Price Impact

The completion of two major divestitures—Care.com and Angi—marks a significant shift in IAC’s portfolio, simplifying its business and potentially unlocking value for existing shareholders. The company’s return to operating profitability and robust EBITDA growth in 2025, despite ongoing cost pressures and restructuring expenses, are positive signals. However, persistent volatility from legacy investments and one-off expenses may continue to impact quarterly results.

Key factors for investors:

• Potential for improved capital returns following divestitures and cost rationalization.
• Short-term earnings volatility likely due to ongoing restructuring, legal settlements, and investment fluctuations.
• Market may react positively to the company’s streamlined structure and return to operating profit, but should remain cautious of non-recurring items and external investment risks.
