NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
IAC today consistsis comprised of category leading businesses, including Dotdash Meredith, Angi Inc. and Care.com, as well as others ranging from early stage to established businesses.
As used herein, “IAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
Total Home Roofing, LLC Sale
On November 1, 2023, Angi Inc. completed the sale of 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Total Home Roofing, LLC ("Roofing"), and has reflected it as a discontinued operation in its standalone financial statements. Roofing does not meet the threshold to be reflected as a discontinued operation at the IAC level. During the fourth quarter of 2023, IAC moved Roofing to Emerging & Other and prior period financial information has been recast to conform to this presentation. Following IAC's move of Roofing to Emerging & Other, Angi Inc. has three operating segments: (i) Ads and Leads, (ii) Services and (iii) International (includes Europe and Canada).
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (collectively referred(referred to herein as "financial statements") in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable debt and equity securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the recoverability of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets"); the useful lives and recoverability of capitalized software, buildings, equipment buildings and leasehold improvements and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; the fair value of interest rate swaps; contingencies; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements; unrecognized tax benefits; the liability for potential refunds and customer credits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; pension and postretirement benefit expenses, including actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, inflation and healthcare costs; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Interest Rate Swaps
In March 2023, Dotdash Meredith entered into interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $350 million, towhich synthetically convertconverted a portion of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B from floatinga variable rate to a fixed rate to manage interest rate risk exposure.exposure, beginning on April 3, 2023. Dotdash Meredith designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and applies hedge accounting to these contracts in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the changes in fair value recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the balance sheet and reclassified into “Interest expense” in the statement of operations in the periods in which the interest rate swaps affect earnings. Dotdash Meredith assessed hedge effectiveness at the time of entering into these agreements and determined these interest rate swaps are expected to be highly effective. Dotdash Meredith evaluates the hedge effectiveness of the interest rate swaps quarterly, or more frequently, if necessary, by verifying (i) that the critical terms of the interest rate swaps continue to match the critical terms of the hedged interest payments and (ii) that it is probable the counterparties will not default. If the two requirements are met, the interest rate swaps are determined to be effective and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss." The cash flows related to interest settlements of the hedged monthly interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows, consistent with the interest expense on the related Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B. See "Note 4—3—Long-term Debt" for additional information. General Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all authorized parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company's customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
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 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. This change in accounting treatment resulted in a decrease in revenue of $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There is no impact to operating loss or Adjusted EBITDA from this change in revenue recognition.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $172.8$128.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2023,2024, and $157.1$143.4 million and $0.2$0.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $79.2 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2023. The deferred revenue balance at March 31, 2024 also reflects the reduction of $33.2 million related to the sale of Mosaic Group in the first quarter of 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $95.6 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $90.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $165.5$157.1 million and $0.4$0.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.2022. Non-current deferred revenue is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the balance sheet.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09,ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money.
In addition, as permitted under the practical expedient available under ASU No. 2014-09, ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is tied to sales-based or usage-based royalties, allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations, or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The Company uses a portfolio approach to assess the accounting treatment of the incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes an asset if we expect to recover those costs. To the extent that these costs are capitalized, the resultant asset is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the services to which the asset relates. The Company has determined that certain costs, primarily commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs and mobile app store fees, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract.
Commissions Paid to Employees Pursuant to Sales Incentive Programs
The Company has determined that commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized as the incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. Capitalized commissions paid to employees pursuant to these sales incentive programs are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period and are included in "Selling and marketing expense" in the statement of operations. The Company calculates the anticipated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data.
For sales incentive programs where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the commissions as incurred. Effective October 1, 2022, the Ads business, within Angi Inc., began expensing commissions, rather than capitalizing them, based upon a review of the duration of the related customer relationship period which have been determined to be less than a year.
App Store Fees
The Company pays fees to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for the distribution of our paid mobile apps. The Company capitalizes and amortizes mobile app store fees related to subscriptions over the term of the applicable subscription. The amortization of mobile app store fees is included in "Cost of revenue" in the statement of operations.

The current and non-current capitalized costs to obtain a contract with a customer are included in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets," respectively, in the balance sheet.
Commissions Paid to Third-Party Agent Sales of Magazine Subscriptions
Dotdash Meredith uses third-party agents to obtain certain subscribers. The agents are paid a commission, which can be as much as the subscription price charged to the subscriber. Dotdash Meredith subscriptions do not have substantive termination penalties; therefore, the contract term is determined on an issue-by-issue basis. Accordingly, these commissions do not qualify for capitalization because there is no contract with a customer until a copy is served to a customer; therefore, these costs are expensed when the publication is sent to the customer. Dotdash Meredith recognizes a liability to the extent the commission is refundable to the third-party agent. Dotdash Meredith expenses additional amounts paid to agents (such as per subscriber bounties) to acquire subscribers as incurred. Expenses related to third-party agent sales of magazine subscriptions are included in "Selling and marketing expense" in the statement of operations.
Certain Risks and Concentrations—Services Agreement with Google (the "Services Agreement")
The Company and Google are parties to an amended Services Agreement, which automatically renewed effective March 31, 2023 and now expires on March 31, 2025. The Company earns certain other advertising revenue from Google that is not attributable to the Services Agreement. A meaningful portion of the Company’s net cash from operating activities that it can freely access is attributable to revenue earned pursuant to the Services Agreement and other revenue earned from Google.
For the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, total revenue earned from Google was $172.9$131.4 million and $193.4$172.9 million, respectively, representing 16%14% and 15%16%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. The total revenue earned from the Services Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 was $138.8$102.9 million and $147.1$138.8 million, respectively, representing 13%11% and 11%13%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue. The related accounts receivable totaled $70.9$45.7 million and $74.1$52.2 million at March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.
The revenue attributable to the Services Agreement is earned by Ask Media Group and the Desktop business, which comprise the Search segment. For the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, revenue earned from the Services Agreement was $120.3$85.4 million and $120.5$120.3 million, respectively, within Ask Media Group and $18.5$17.4 million and $26.6$18.5 million, respectively, within the Desktop business.
The Services Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Google may generally unilaterally update its policies and guidelines without advance notice. These updates may be specific to the Services Agreement or could be more general and thereby impact the Company as well as other companies. These policy and guideline updates have in the past and could in the future require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of our products, services and/or business practices, which have been and could be costly to address or negatively impact revenue and have had and in the future could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

These actions included: (i) the discontinuation of certain print publications and the shutdown of PeopleTV, for which the related expense was primarily reflected in the first quarter of 2022, (ii) a voluntary retirement program announced in the first quarter of 2022, for which the related expense was primarily reflected in the first half of 2022, (iii) the consolidation of certain leased office space, for which the related expense was reflected in the third quarter of 2022 and (iv) a reduction in force plan, for which the related expenses were accrued primarily in the fourth quarter of 2022. These actions resulted in $80.2 million of restructuring charges incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022.
A summary of the costs incurred, payments and related accruals is presented below. The Company anticipates the estimated remaining costs associated with the 2022 restructuring events will be paid by December 31, 2023 from existing cash on hand.

Equity Method Investment
The Company owns common shares of Turo Inc. ("Turo"), a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting given the Company's ownership interest at March 31, 2023 of approximately 26.5% on a fully diluted basis in the form of preferred shares, which are not common stock equivalents. The Company accounts for the equity earnings (losses) for this investment on a one quarter lag. These equity earnings (losses) were immaterial.
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.

Warrant
The Company owns preferred shares of Turo Inc. ("Turo"), a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, which is accounted for as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, as the preferred shares are not common stock equivalents. As part of the Company's original investment in Turo preferred shares, the Company received a warrant that is recorded at fair value each reporting period using an option pricing model with any change in fair value included in "Other income, net" in the statement of operations. The warrant is measured using significant unobservable inputs and is classified in the fair value hierarchy table as Level 3. The warrant is included in "Other non-current assets" in the balance sheet.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements
At March 31, 2023, the Company has no contingent consideration arrangements outstanding. In connection with the Meredith acquisition on December 1, 2021, the Company assumed a contingent consideration arrangement liability of $0.6 million, which was written off during the first quarter of 2022 due to a change in estimate of the liability related to this arrangement.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets, capitalized software, buildings, equipment buildings and leasehold improvements, 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 for similar or identical securities are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.
ROU Assets and Related Leasehold Improvements, Furniture and Equipment
During the first quarter of 2023, the CompanyDotdash Meredith recorded impairment charges of $70.0 million related to certain unoccupied leased office space due to the continued decline in the commercial real estate market; amarket consisting of impairments of $44.7 million impairmentand $25.3 million of an ROU asset and a $25.3 million impairment ofrelated leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, whichrespectively.
The impairment charges related to ROU assets are included in "General and administrative expense" and "Depreciation," respectively,the impairment charges related to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment are included in "Depreciation" in the statement of operations. The impairment charges represent the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value, calculated using a discounted cash flow approach using sublease market assumptions of the expected cash flows and discount rate. The impairment charges were allocated between the ROU assets and related leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment of the asset group based on their relative carrying values.
The aggregate carrying value of goodwill for which the most recent estimate of the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20% is $153.6 million of goodwill at Mosaic Group. There is one indefinite-lived intangible asset at Dotdash Meredith Digital with a value of approximately $126.0 million for which the excess of fair value over carrying value is less than 20%.

The adjustment to the secured overnight financing rate is fixed at 0.10% for the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A. The Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B has a varying adjustment of 0.10%, 0.15% or 0.25% based upon the duration of the borrowing period. At March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, or 6.94%7.68% and 5.91%7.69%, respectively, and the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 4.00%, or 8.77%9.43% and 8.22%9.44%, respectively.

In March 2023, Dotdash Meredith entered into interest rate swaps on the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B for a total notional amount of $350 million with a maturity date of April 1, 2027.

Settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 triggered a remeasurement of the pension plans in the U.S. The actuarial loss of $0.2 million was the result of an adjustment in plan demographics, partially offset by gains on investment performance.
Settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 triggered a remeasurement of the funded pension plans in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and U.S. The U.K. actuarial loss of $25.0 million primarily relates to the decline in the fair value of the U.K. pension plan's assets exceeding the decline in the plan liabilities, in each case due to higher interest rates. The U.S. actuarial loss of $12.5 million was primarily due to the decline in the fair value of plan assets.
The following table summarizes the weighted average expected return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit costs(credit) cost at March 31, 2023,2024 following the remeasurement,remeasurements, and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively:

NOTE 8—7—INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company's tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision or benefit in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $54.7 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 55%, which is higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the nondeductible portion of goodwill in the sale of Mosaic Group, nondeductible compensation expense, and state taxes, partially offset by research credits and the realization of a capital loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $139.5 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 25%, which is higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes and nondeductible compensation expense, partially offset by research credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $70.5 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 23%, which is higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes and excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation expense.
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's income taxes are routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities as a result of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns for periods prior to the June 30, 2020 separation of IAC from Match Group (the "Match Separation") and for its tax returns filed on a standalone basis following the Match Separation. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its audit of the federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2013 through 2019, which include the operations of the Company. The settlement of these tax years has been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. The statute of limitations for the years 2013 through 2019 has been extended to December 31, 2023.Service. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2014.2013. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. At March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, accruals for interest and penalties are not material.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, were $17.4$20.8 million and $16.6$19.6 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, at March 31, 20232024 increased by $0.8$1.2 million due primarily to research credits, partially offset by settlements.credits. If unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 20232024 are subsequently recognized, $16.2$19.7 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense. The comparable amount at December 31, 20222023 was $15.4$18.6 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $0.6$0.4 million by March 31, 20242025 due to expected settlements and statute expirations, all of which $0.5 million would reduce the income tax provision.
The Company regularly assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets considering all available evidence including, to the extent applicable, the nature, frequency and severity of prior cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, tax filing status, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, available tax planning and historical experience. At March 31, 2023, the Company has a U.S. gross deferred tax asset of $816.4 million that the Company expects to fully utilize on a more likely than not basis. Of this amount, $641.7 million will be utilized upon the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the remaining net deferred tax asset of $174.7 million will be utilized based on forecasts of future taxable income. The Company's most significant net deferred tax asset that could expire relates to U.S. federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $40.4 million. The Company expects to generate sufficient future taxable income of at least $192.6 million prior to the expiration of these NOLs, the majority of which expire between 2033 and 2036, to fully realize this deferred tax asset.
NOTE 9—8—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company treats its common stock and Class B common stock as one class of stock for net earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") purposes as both classes of stock participate in earnings, dividends and other distributions on the same basis. The restricted stock award granted to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") on November 5, 2020 is a participating security and the Company calculates basic EPS using the two-class method since those restricted shares are unvested and have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend on common shares and participate in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares. Diluted EPS is calculated, on the most dilutive basis, which excludes awards that would be anti-dilutive, including the restricted stock award granted to our CEO.
Undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security is subtracted from earnings in determining earnings attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock for basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period.
For the calculation of diluted EPS, net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock is adjusted for the impact from our public subsidiary's dilutive securities, if applicable, and the reallocation of undistributed earnings allocated to the participating security by the weighted-average number of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities during the period.

(a) On November 5, 2020, IAC's CEO was granted a stock-based award in the form of 3.0 million shares of restricted common stock. The number of shares that ultimately vests is subject to the satisfaction of growth targets in IAC's stock price over the 10-year service condition of the award. These restricted shares have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend on its common shares and participate in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other IAC common shares. Accordingly, the two-class method of calculating EPS is used. While the restricted shares are presented as outstanding shares in the balance sheet, these shares are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding in calculating basic EPS and the allocable portion of net earnings are also excluded. Fully diluted EPS reflects the impact on earnings and fully diluted shares in the manner that is most dilutive.
(b) IAC has the option to settle certain Angi Inc. stock-based awards in its shares. The impact on net earnings relates to the settlement of Angi Inc.'s dilutive securities in IAC common shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, these Angi Inc. equity awards were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a loss from operations and as a result these awards were excluded from computing dilutive earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
(c) If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and subsidiary denominated equity and vesting of restricted common stock, and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 3.4 million and 3.3 million, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from computingthe calculation of diluted EPS because the impacttheir inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(d) For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a loss from operations and, as a result, approximately 7.8 million potentially dilutive securities were excluded from computing diluted EPS because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding were used to compute the EPS amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 11—10—CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where the Companyit believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no accrual is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, and for which the Company cannot estimate a loss or range of loss, 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 uncertain income tax positions 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, due to MGM's ongoing share repurchase program, which increased the Company's ownership interest passively, the Company determined that the equity method of accounting applied and elected to account for its investment in MGM pursuant to the fair value option. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company's investment in MGM was accounted for as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through income each period. Since the Company has always marked its investment in MGM to fair value through income each period the election of the fair value option results in no change to the historical accounting for this investment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized unrealized pre-tax gains of $163.8 million and $704.8 million, respectively, on its investment in MGM and were due to changes in the stock price of MGM's common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange. Based on the number of MGM common shares outstanding at March 31, 2024, the Company owns approximately 20.6% of MGM.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is considered our primary segment measure of profitability and one of the primary 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. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The Company endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements.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.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with awards that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans and expense related to awards issued by certain subsidiaries of the Company. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis; IAC remits the required tax-withholding amounts for net-settled awards from its current funds.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our capitalized software, buildings, 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, service professional relationships 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 liabilities for the portion of the purchase price of acquisitions, if applicable, that is contingent consideration liabilitiesupon the financial performance and/or operating targets of the acquired company at fair value.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.

The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2023 relative to the fourth quarter of 2022 at Dotdash Meredith, partially offset by an increase at Angi Inc., due primarily to timing of cash receipts for credit card transactions. The decrease in other assets is due, in part, to a decrease in prepaid hosting services at Angi Inc., Dotdash Meredith and Corporate. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to timing of annual subscription renewals at Care.com.
Net cash provided by investing activities includes maturities of marketable debt securities of $137.5 million and net proceeds from the sales of assets of $29.4 million, including $28.9 million related to the sale of a building at Dotdash Meredith, partially offset by $98.5 million for the purchases of marketable debt securities and capital expenditures of $21.9 million primarily related to investments of $11.3 million in capitalized software at Angi Inc. to support its products and services and payment of $8.1 million related to the acquisition of the formerly leased land under IAC's New York City headquarters building. The purchase of the land was completed in April 2023.
Net cash used in financing activities includes the repurchase of 1.7 million shares of IAC common stock, on a settlement date basis, for $84.7 million at an average price of $51.16 per share, principal payments on Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A and Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B of $7.5 million, withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees, excluding Angi Inc., for stock-based awards that were net settled of $2.2 million and withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $1.4 million.
2022
Adjustments to net loss consist primarily of an unrealized loss on the investment in MGM of $187.3 million, amortization of intangibles of $57.2 million, pension and postretirement benefit expense of $36.3 million, depreciation of $30.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $29.7 million, provision of credit losses of $23.3 million and non-cash lease expense of $13.7 million, partially offset by deferred taxes of $76.9 million, net gains on investments in equity securities of $35.9 million and an unrealized increase in the estimated fair value of a warrant of $8.0 million. The decrease from changes in working capital include decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $82.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $17.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $75.6 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $11.3 million. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to a decrease in accrued employee compensation due, in part, to payment of 2021 bonuses in 2022 and payment of commissions, partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges at Dotdash Meredith, and a decrease in accrued traffic acquisition costs at Search. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2022 relative to the fourth quarter of 2021 at Dotdash Meredith and Search, partially offset by revenue growth at Angi Inc., primarily attributable to Angi Services. The increase in deferred revenue is due primarily to timing of annual subscription renewals at Care.com.
Net cash used in investing activities includes $202.5 million for the purchase of an additional 4.5 million shares of MGM and capital expenditures of $30.5 million primarily related to investments in capitalized software at Angi Inc. to support its products and services.
Net cash used in financing activities includes withholding taxes paid on behalf of IAC employees, excluding Angi Inc., for stock-based awards that were net settled of $14.9 million, the repurchase of 1.0 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, for $8.1 million at an average price of $7.80 per share, principal payments on Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A and Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B of $7.5 million and withholding taxes paid on behalf of Angi Inc. employees for stock-based awards that were net settled of $1.3 million.

Outstanding Stock-based AwardsContractual Obligations
IAC and Angi Inc. may settle stock options, stock settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock on a gross or a net basis based upon factors deemed relevant at the time.To the extent that equity awards are settled on a net basis, the holders of the awards receive shares of IAC or Angi Inc., as applicable, with a value equal to the fair value of the award on the vest date for RSUs and restricted stock and with a value equal to the intrinsic value of the award upon exercise for stock options or stock settled appreciation rights less, in each case, an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment, which will be paid by IAC or Angi Inc., as applicable, on the employee's behalf.All awards are being settled currently on a net basis.
The following table summarizes (i) the aggregate intrinsic value of IAC options, Angi Inc. options, Angi Inc. stock settled stock appreciation rights, IAC and Angi Inc. non-publicly traded subsidiary denominated stock settled stock appreciation rights and (ii) the aggregate fair value (based on stock prices as of May 5, 2023) of IAC and Angi Inc. RSUs and IAC restricted stock outstanding as of that date; assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be paid by the Company on behalf of employees upon exercise or vesting that would be payable (assuming these equity awards are net settled with a 50% tax rate) and the shares that would have been issued are as follows:

_____________________
(a) The number of shares ultimately needed to settle these awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant subsidiary at the time of exercise. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the stock price of IAC.
(b) The Company has the discretion to settle these awards net of withholding tax and exercise price (which is represented in the table above) or settle on a gross basis and require the award holder to pay its share of the withholding tax, which he or she may do by selling IAC common shares. Assuming all IAC stock options outstanding on May 5, 2023 were settled on a gross basis (i.e., through the issuance of a number of IAC common shares equal to the number of stock options exercised) the Company would have issued2.8 million common shares and would have received $39.2 million in cash proceeds.
(c) Approximately 70% of the estimated withholding taxes payable on RSUs, which vest afterAt March 31, 2024, is related to awards that are scheduled to cliff vest in 2025, the five-year anniversary of the grant date.
(d) On November 5, 2020, the Company granted 3.0 million shares of IAC restricted common stock to its CEO, that cliff vest on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date based on satisfaction of IAC's stock price targets and continued employment through the vesting date. The IAC stock price is currently below the minimum price threshold to earn the award.
(e) Includes Angi Inc. stock options and subsidiary denominated equity.
(f) Pursuant to the employee matters agreement between IAC and Angi Inc., certain stock appreciation rights of Angi, Inc. and equity awards denominated in shares of Angi Inc.'s subsidiaries may be settled in either shares of Angi Inc. common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, Angi Inc. is obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of Angi Inc. common stock.
Contractual Obligations
In March 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the formerly leased land under its New York City headquarters building, which purchase was completed in April 2023 for a total purchase price of approximately $80.0 million, including $8.1 million paid in March 2023. At March 31, 2023, there have been no other material changes to the Company's contractual obligations since the disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Capital Expenditures
The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company's 20232024 capital expenditures are expected to be higherlower than its 20222023 capital expenditures of $139.8$141.4 million by approximately 5%40% to 10%50%, due primarily to the acquisition of the formerly leased land described above,under IAC's New York City headquarters building in 2023, partially offset by lower capital expendituresan increase related to the development of capitalized software at Angi Inc. and Care.com.
Liquidity Assessment
On a consolidated basis, the Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities of $25.2$64.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023;2024; excluding the positive cash flows from operating activities of $19.1$56.2 million and $22.3 million generated by Dotdash Meredith and Angi Inc. and, respectively, the Company generated negative cash flows from operating activities of $5.8 million generated by Dotdash Meredith, the Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities of $11.9$14.4 million.
At March 31, 2023,2024, the Company's consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, excluding MGM, were $1.6 billion, of which $327.5$363.3 million and $275.8$268.7 million was held by Angi Inc. and Dotdash Meredith, respectively. The Company's consolidated debt includes approximately $1.6$1.5 billion, which is a liability of Dotdash Meredith Inc., and $500.0 million, which is a liability of ANGI Group, a subsidiary of Angi Inc. The Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement contains covenants that would limit Dotdash Meredith’s ability to pay dividends, incur incremental secured indebtedness, or make distributions or certain investments in the event a default has occurred or if Dotdash Meredith’s consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0, subject to certain available amounts as defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement, exceeds 4.0 to 1.0; thisAgreement. This ratio was exceeded for the test period ended March 31, 2023.2024. The Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement also permits the CompanyIAC to, among other things, contribute cash to Dotdash Meredith which will provide additional liquidity to ensure that Dotdash Meredith does not exceed certain consolidated net leverage ratios for any test period, as further defined in the Dotdash Meredith Credit Agreement. In connection with these capital contributions, Dotdash Meredith may make distributions to IAC in amounts not more than any such capital contributions, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing. Such capital contributions and subsequent distributions impact the consolidated net leverage ratios of Dotdash Meredith. In the three months ended March 2023, the Company31, 2024, IAC contributed $135.0$55 million to Dotdash Meredith, which Dotdash Meredith subsequently distributed back to the CompanyIAC in April 2024. In addition, Dotdash Meredith distributed $105 million back to IAC in January 2024 related to the Company's contribution in December 2023. Angi Inc. is an independent public company with its own public shareholders and board of directors and has no obligation to provide the Company with funds. As a result, the Company cannot freely access the cash of Angi Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services due to economic or other factors.
The Company believes Angi Inc.'s and Dotdash Meredith's existing cash, cash equivalents and expected positive cash flows from operations, and the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents and expected positive cash flows from operations, excluding Angi Inc. and Dotdash Meredith, will be sufficient to fund their respective normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards and investing and other commitments for the next twelve months. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to make acquisitions and investments. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets. The indebtedness at Dotdash Meredith and Angi Inc. could further limit the Company's ability to raise additional financing.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutAbout Market Risk
Equity Price Risk
At March 31, 2023,2024, the Company owns approximately 64.7 million common shares of MGM. During the fourth quarter of 2023, due to MGM's ongoing share repurchase program, which increased the Company's ownership interest passively, the Company determined that the equity method of accounting applied and elected to account for its investment in MGM pursuant to the fair value option. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company's investment in MGM was accounted for as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through income each period. Since the Company has always marked its investment in MGM to fair value through income each period the election of the fair value option results in no change from its historical accounting for this investment. For the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, the Company recordedrecognized an unrealized pre-tax gain and loss of $704.8$163.8 million and $187.3$704.8 million, respectively, on its investment in MGM.
The cumulative unrealized net pre-tax gain through March 31, 20232024 is $1.6$1.8 billion. At March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the carrying value of the Company's investment in MGM, which includes the cumulative unrealized pre-tax gains, was $2.9$3.1 billion and $2.2$2.9 billion, or approximately 27%29% and 21%28% of the Company's consolidated total assets, respectively. A $2.00 increase or decrease in the share price of MGM would result in an unrealized gain or loss, respectively, of $129.4 million. At May 5, 2023,3, 2024, the carryingfair value of the Company's investment in MGM was $2.8$2.66 billion. The Company's results of operations and financial condition have in the past been and may in the future be materially impacted by increases or decreases in the price of MGM common shares, which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Interest Rate Risk
At March 31, 2023,2024, the principal amount of the Company's outstanding debt totals $2.1$2.03 billion, of which $1.6$1.53 billion is the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans, which bear interest at a variable rate, and $500.0$500 million is the ANGI Group Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate.
During the three months endedIn March 31, 2023, Adjusted Term SOFR for the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans increased an average of approximately 65 basis points relative to December 31, 2022. As a result of the increase in Adjusted Term SOFR during the three months ended March 31, 2023, theentered into interest expenserate swaps on Dotdash Meredith Term Loans was $2.0 million higher as compared to what interest expense would have been if the Adjusted Term SOFR been unchanged during 2023. At March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of $1.23 billion related to the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B bore interest at Adjusted SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 4.00%, or 8.77%, and the outstanding balance of $328.1 million related to the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, or 6.94%. If Adjusted Term SOFR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the annual interest expense on the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans would increase or decrease by $15.7 million, excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps. In March 2023, we entered into interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $350 million towith a maturity date of April 1, 2027. The interest rate swaps synthetically convert a portionconverted $350 million of the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B for the duration of the interest rate swaps from floatinga variable rate to a fixed rate to manage interest rate risk exposure beginning on April 3, 2023 and applies hedge accounting to these contracts. See "Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and "Note 4—3—Long-term Debt" to the financial statements included in "Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements" for more information. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated based ondetermined using discounted cash flows the Companyderived from observable market prices, including swap curves, and represents what Dotdash Meredith would pay or receive to terminate the swap agreements. The CompanyDotdash Meredith intends to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, however, if these interest rate swaps were not highly effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps used as hedges could have a significant impact on our future results of operations.During the three months ended March 31, 2024, adjusted term secured overnight financing rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR") for the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans decreased an average of approximately two basis points relative to December 31, 2023. Had Adjusted Term SOFR been unchanged during the first quarter of 2024, the impact of this decrease would have had a nominal effect on interest expense. At March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of $1.22 billion related to the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan B bore interest at Adjusted SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 4.00%, or 9.43%, and the outstanding balance of $310.6 million related to the Dotdash Meredith Term Loan A bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.25%, or 7.68%. If Adjusted Term SOFR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the annual interest expense on the Dotdash Meredith Term Loans, net of the impact related to the $350 million in notional amount of interest rate swaps, would increase or decrease by $11.8 million.
If market rates decline relative to interest rates on the ANGI Group Senior Notes, the Company runs the risk that the related required interest payments 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 $22.9$19.3 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including an immediate increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period, nor changes in the credit profile.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, IAC and its subsidiaries may become parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. The litigation matter described below involves issues or claims that may be of particular interest to IAC's stockholders, regardless of whether such matter may be material to IAC's financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shareholder Litigation Arising Out of the MTCH Separation
This shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit pending in Delaware state court is described in detail under the captions Part I-Item 3-Legal Proceedings of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (page 34)2023 (pages 34-35). See David Newman v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al.,No. 2020-0505 (Delaware Chancery Court), and Construction Industry & Laborers Joint Pension Trust for Southern Nevada Plan A v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al. (Delaware Chancery Court), which have been consolidated under the caption In re Match Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation,,No. 2020-0505.2020-0505 (Delaware Chancery Court). This lawsuit alleges that the terms of the MTCH Separation (as defined on page 2825 of this quarterly report) are unfair to the former Match Group public shareholders and unduly beneficial to IAC as a result of undue influence by IAC and Mr. Diller over the then Match Group directors who unanimously approved the transaction and asserts a variety of direct and derivative claims. As previously reported, the court dismissedDelaware Chancery Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the action in September 2022, and the plaintiffs appealed. Onappealed to the Delaware Supreme Court. Following oral argument on the plaintiffs’ appeal, in May 3, 2023, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an order directing the parties to submit supplemental briefing on the correct legal standard governing judicial review of the MTCH Separation, namely whether review under the more deferential business-judgment rule is triggered when such a transaction has been approved by either a committee of independent directors or a majority vote of the minority stockholders. Supplemental briefing was completed in September 2023 and the court heard further oral argument onfrom the appeal, which remains pending. parties in December 2023.
On April 4, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court issued its decision, holding: (i) that in order to be subject to review under the more deferential business-judgment rule, rather than “entire fairness” review, the MTCH Separation transaction must have been approved by both a committee of independent directors and a majority vote of the Match Group minority shareholders, (ii) that the Delaware Chancery Court correctly ruled that the plaintiffs had pleaded sufficient facts to call into question the independence of one of the three members of the special committee that had negotiated and approved the transaction, (iii) that the Delaware Chancery Court had incorrectly ruled that the plaintiffs had nevertheless failed to call into question the independence of the special committee as a whole, because all members of the committee must be independent in order for the committee as a whole to be independent, and (iv) that the Delaware Chancery Court had correctly dismissed the plaintiffs’ derivative claims for lack of standing, leaving only their direct claims for adjudication. The Delaware Supreme Court remanded the case to the Delaware Chancery Court for further proceedings, and the case will now proceed to discovery.
IAC believes that the allegations in this litigation are without merit and will continue to defend vigorously against them.

Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under the caption Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our annual report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and the risk factor below,2023, any or all of which could materially and adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition or future results.results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and/or operating results.results of operations.
Marketing efforts designed to drive visitors to our various brands and businesses may not be successful or cost-effective.
Traffic building and conversion initiatives involve considerable expenditures for online and offline advertising and marketing. We have made, and expect to continue to make, significant expenditures for search engine marketing (primarily in the form of the purchase of keywords, which we purchase primarily through Google and, to a lesser extent, Microsoft and Yahoo!), social media advertising and other online display advertising and traditional offline advertising (including television and radio campaigns) in connection with these initiatives, which may not be successful or cost-effective. Also, to continue to reach consumers and users, we will need to continue to identify and devote more of our overall marketing expenditures to newer digital advertising channels (such as online video, social media, streaming, OTT and other digital platforms), as well as target consumers and users via these channels in a cost-effective manner. As these channels continue to evolve relative to traditional channels (such as television), it could continue to be difficult to assess returns on related marketing investments. Historically, we have had to increase advertising and marketing expenditures over time in order to attract and convert consumers, retain users of our various products and services and sustain our growth.
Our ability to market our brands and businesses on any given property or channel is subject to the policies of the relevant third-party seller, publisher (including search engines, web browsers and social media platforms with extraordinarily high levels of traffic and numbers of users) or marketing affiliate. As a result, we cannot be certain that these parties will not limit or prohibit us or our affiliate marketing partners from purchasing certain types of advertising (including the purchase by us of advertising with preferential placement or for certain of our products and services) and/or using one or more current or prospective marketing channels in the future. If a significant marketing channel took such an action generally, for a significant period of time and/or on a recurring basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to comply with the policies of third-party sellers, publishers and/or marketing affiliates, our advertisements could be removed without notice and/or our accounts could be suspended or terminated, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any phasing out (or blocking) of third-party cookies by web browsers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely heavily on free search engine marketing to drive traffic to our properties. The display, including rankings, of search results can be affected by a number of factors, many of which are not in our direct control, and may change frequently. Search engines have made changes in the past to their ranking algorithms, methodologies and design layouts that have reduced the prominence of links to websites offering our products and services, and negatively impacted traffic to such websites, and we expect that search engines will continue to make such changes from time to time in the future. However, we may not know how (or otherwise be in a position) to influence actions of this nature taken by search engines. With respect to search results in particular, even when search engines announce the details of their methodologies, their parameters may change from time to time, be poorly defined or be inconsistently interpreted.
Our failure to respond successfully to rapid and frequent changes in the operating and pricing dynamics of search engines, as well as changing policies and guidelines applicable to keyword advertising (which may be unilaterally updated by search engines without advance notice), could adversely affect our paid and free search engine marketing efforts. Specifically, such changes could adversely affect paid listings (both their placement and pricing), as well as the ranking of links to websites offering our products and services within search results, any or all of which could increase our marketing costs (particularly if free traffic is replaced with paid traffic) and adversely affect the effectiveness of our marketing efforts overall. In addition, the failure to respond successfully to policy updates with respect to the phasing out (or blocking) of third party cookies by web browsers (which may be done unilaterally by web browsers without notice), as well as consumers increasingly choosing to use browsers that do not support third party cookies, could also adversely affect the effectiveness of our marketing efforts at those of our businesses that rely on cookies as a meaningful part of their overall marketing strategy.
Moreover, changes in the usage and functioning of search engines as a result of the development of generative artificial intelligence technology (“GAI”) and/or general disruption to the technologies and platforms upon which our businesses rely to provide and market their digital content, products and services, could negatively impact our ability to drive traffic to our properties and monetize our digital content, products and services generally. GAI-powered chatbots and other tools could change the way people access and consume information, and if they supplant traffic to the websites of our businesses (in particular, the Digital business within our Dotdash Meredith financial reporting segment), we could experience decreased traffic and advertising revenues, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, GAI has the potential to generate digital content and information and develop digital products and services at a much greater scale and in a more cost-effective manner relative to traditional efforts, which could result in increased competition. The failure to adopt or otherwise adapt to evolving GAI capabilities could adversely affect our ability to compete generally, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Lastly, certain of our businesses also enter into various arrangements with third parties (including advertising agencies) to drive traffic to their various brands and businesses and generate leads, which arrangements are generally more cost-effective than traditional marketing efforts. If these businesses are unable to renew existing (and enter into new) arrangements of this nature, sales and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue would increase over the long-term, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in the case of traffic and leads generated through third party arrangements, the quality, validity (generated by real users with genuine interest and otherwise acquired in a manner that complies with contractual obligations in place with paid listings providers and/or advertisers) and convertibility of such traffic and leads are dependent on many factors, most of which are not in our control. If the quality, validity and/or convertibility of traffic and leads we acquire via third parties do not meet the expectations of the users of our various products and services, our paid listings providers and/or advertisers (as well any third parties who may acquire such traffic or leads from our paid listings providers and/or advertisers), our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
