Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ziff Davis and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, including judgments about investment classifications and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes that its most significant estimates are those related to revenue recognition, valuation and impairment of investments, its assessment of ownership interests as variable interest entities and the related determination of consolidation, share-based compensation expense, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, long-lived and intangible asset impairment, contingent consideration, income taxes and contingencies and allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global economy, disrupting the financial markets and creating increasing volatility and overall uncertainty. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and the actual results, our consolidated financial statements could be materially affected. (c) Consensus, Inc. Spin-Off and Discontinued Operations On September 21, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved its previously announced separation of the cloud fax business (the “Separation”) into an independent publicly traded company, Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc. (“Consensus”). On October 7, 2021 (the “Distribution Date”), the Separation was completed and the Company transferred J2 Cloud Service, LLC to Consensus who in turn transferred non-fax assets and liabilities back to Ziff Davis such that Consensus was left with the cloud fax business. The Separation was achieved through the Company’s distribution of 80.1% of the shares of Consensus common stock to holders of J2 Global common stock as of the close of business on October 1, 2021, the record date for the distribution. The Company’s stockholders of record received one share of Consensus common stock for every three shares of J2 Global’s common stock. On October 8, 2021, Consensus began trading on Nasdaq under the stock symbol “CCSI”. Ziff Davis, Inc. (formerly J2 Global, Inc.) retained a 19.9% interest in Consensus following the Separation (the “Retained Consensus Shares”). On October 7, 2021, Consensus paid Ziff Davis approximately $259.1 million of cash in a distribution that is anticipated to be tax-free provided certain requirements are met, and issued $500.0 million of senior notes due 2028 to Ziff Davis, which Ziff Davis then exchanged with the lenders under the Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement Amendments by and among the subsidiaries of Ziff Davis party thereto as guarantors, Citicorp North America Inc. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, for the extinguishment of indebtedness outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility (see Note 10 - Debt). Such lenders or their affiliates agreed to resell the 2028 notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A. The accounting requirements for reporting the Company’s cloud fax business as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the cloud fax business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Ziff Davis did not retain a controlling interest in Consensus. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option and subsequent fair value changes in the Retained Consensus Shares are included in the assets of and results from continuing operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 6 - Discontinued Operations and Dispositions). (d) Allowances for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status. It also considers customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the adequacy of these reserves. (e) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the Company satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (see Note 3 - Revenues). Principal vs. Agent The Company determines whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis by assessing whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as the principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. In determining whether the Company acts as the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance under Topic 606 for principal-agent considerations and assesses: (i) if another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer and (ii) whether the Company controls the specified goods or services prior to transferring control to the customer. Sales Taxes The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are (i) both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected by the Company from a customer. (f) Fair Value Measurements The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), in measuring fair value and in disclosing fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, interest payable, customer deposits and long-term debt are reflected in the financial statements at cost. With the exception of certain investments and long-term debt, cost approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt was determined using the quoted market prices of debt instruments with similar terms and maturities when available. As of the same dates, the carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximated fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company. (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and with maturities of three months or less at the purchase date. (h) Investments The Company accounts for its investments in debt securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 320, Investments - Debt Securities (“ASC 320”). The Company’s debt investments are typically comprised of corporate debt securities, which it classifies as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. All debt securities are accounted for on a specific identification basis. The Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are carried at an estimated fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Available-for-sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in loss on investments, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 321, Investments - Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) which requires the accounting for equity investments (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) generally be measured at fair value for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value that are not accounted for by the equity method, the Company measures the equity security using cost, less impairment, if any, and plus or minus observable price changes arising from orderly transactions in the same or similar investment from the same issuer. Any unrealized gains or losses is reported in current earnings (see Note 5 - Investments). The Company assesses whether an other-than-temporary impairment loss on an investment has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions (see Note 5 - Investments). Investments classified as short-term are available to be converted into cash to fund current operations. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities accounted for at fair value under the fair value option, and the related fair value gains and losses are recognized in earnings. As the initial carrying value of the Retained Consensus Shares was negative immediately following the Separation, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25 to support the initial recognition of the Retained Consensus Shares at fair value and the negative book value of $69.3 million was recorded as a gain on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of Consensus common stock is readily available as Consensus is a publicly traded company. (i) Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”s) A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its investments in entities in which it is involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in its investment as a limited partner in the OCV Fund I, LP (“OCV Fund”, “OCV” or the “Fund”). In determining whether the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, both of the following characteristics must be present: a) the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the VIEs economic performance (the power criterion); and b) the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE, or the right to receive benefits of the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the economic criterion). The Company has concluded that, as a limited partner, although the obligations to absorb losses or the right to benefit from the gains is not insignificant, the Company does not have “power” over OCV because it does not have the ability to direct the significant decisions which impact the economics of OCV. The Company believes that the OCV general partner, as a single decision maker, holds the ability to make the decisions about the activities that most significantly impact the OCV Fund’s economic performance. As a result, the Company has concluded that it will not consolidate OCV, as it is not the primary beneficiary of the OCV Fund, and will account for this investment under the equity-method of accounting (see Note 5 - Investments). OCV qualifies as an investment company under ASC 946 - Financial Services, Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). Under ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, an investor that holds investments that qualify for specialized industry accounting for investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 should record its share of the earnings or losses, realized or unrealized, as reported by its equity method investees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognizes its equity in the net earnings or losses relating to the investment in OCV on a one-quarter lag due to the timing and availability of financial information from OCV. If the Company becomes aware of a significant decline in value that is other-than-temporary, the loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline. (j) Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount The Company capitalizes costs incurred with borrowing and issuance of debt securities and records debt issuance costs and discounts as a reduction to the debt amount. These costs and discounts are amortized and included in interest expense over the life of the borrowing using the effective interest method. (k) Concentration of Credit Risk All of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested at major financial institutions primarily within the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland. These institutions are required to invest the Company’s cash in accordance with the Company’s investment policy with the principal objectives being preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and above market returns commensurate with preservation of capital. The Company’s investment policy also requires that investments in marketable securities be in only highly rated instruments, with limitations on investing in securities of any single issuer. However, these investments are not insured against the possibility of a total or near complete loss of earnings or principal and are inherently subject to the credit risk related to the continued credit worthiness of the underlying issuer and general credit market risks. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were maintained in accounts in qualifying financial institutions that are insured up to the limit determined by the applicable governmental agency. These institutions are primarily in the United States and United Kingdom, however, the Company has accounts within several other countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. (l) Foreign Currency Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars at average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Net translation loss was $21.3 million, $8.9 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized within other expense (income), net. Foreign exchange gains (losses) amounted to $2.0 million, $(3.1) million and $(2.6) million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. (m) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under a finance lease is stated at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and is recorded in cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from one one (n) Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives (subject to amortization), in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected undiscounted future net cash flows generated by the asset. If it is determined that the asset may not be recoverable, and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable definite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors it considers important which could individually or in combination trigger an impairment include the following: • Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; • Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; • Significant negative industry or economic trends; • Significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and • The Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value. If the Company determined that the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, it would record an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. The Company assessed whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate the carrying amount of definite-lived assets may not be recoverable. In the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairments of certain operating right-of-use assets and associated property and equipment (see Note 11 - Leases). No impairment was recorded in fiscal year 2019. The Company classifies its long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable, (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation expense on the asset. The Company assesses the fair value of a long-lived asset less any costs to sell at each reporting period and until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale. (o) Business Combinations and Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with GAAP and uses estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price paid for acquisitions to the fair value of the assets, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Such estimates may be based on significant unobservable inputs and assumptions such as, but not limited to, future revenue growth rates, gross and operating margins, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates and terminal growth rate assumptions. The Company uses established valuation techniques and may engage reputable valuation specialists to assist with the valuations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of an acquisition as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of purchased customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technologies and other intangible assets. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over the period of estimated economic benefit ranging from one In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results in 2022, and possibly longer. As of December 31, 2021, there were no indications that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable. However, a prolonged adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s consolidated financial results may require an impairment charge related to one or more of these assets in a future period. No impairments to goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, or 2019 as a result of COVID-19. (p) Contingent Consideration Certain of the Company’s acquisition agreements include contingent earn-out arrangements, which are generally based on the achievement of future income thresholds or other metrics. The contingent earn-out arrangements are based upon the Company’s valuations of the acquired companies and reduce the risk of overpaying for acquisitions if the projected financial results are not achieved. The fair values of these earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. For each transaction, the Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company considers several factors when determining that contingent earn-out liabilities are part of the purchase price, including the following: (1) the valuation of our acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (2) the former shareholders of acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of the Company’s other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company measures its contingent earn-out liabilities in connection with acquisitions at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). The Company may use various valuation techniques depending on the terms and conditions of the contingent consideration including a Monte-Carlo simulation. This simulation uses a probability distribution for each significant input to produce hundreds or thousands of possible outcomes and the results are analyzed to determine probabilities of different outcomes occurring. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earn-out obligation. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any amount paid in excess of the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in operating activities. The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could be materially different from the initial estimates or prior amounts. Changes in the estimated fair value of its contingent earn-out liabilities and adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (q) Self-Insurance Program The Company provides health and dental insurance plans to certain of its employees through a self-insurance structure. The Company has secured reinsurance in the form of a two tiered stop-loss coverage that limits the exposure arising from any claims made. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based on management’s estimate of the discounted ultimate costs for self-insured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical experience. Although management believes it has the ability to reasonably estimate losses related to claims, it is possible that actual results could differ from recorded self-insurance liabilities. (r) Income Taxes The Company’s income is subject to taxation in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves for tax contingencies are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or lapse of a statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly based upon the facts and circumstances known at the time. In assessing this valuation allowance, the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable. ASC 740 provides guidance on the minimum threshold that an uncertain income tax benefit is required to meet before it can be recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions taken by a company. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit will be recorded. Uncertain income tax positions that relate only to timing of when an item is included on a tax return are considered to have met the recognition threshold. The Company recognized accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act” was enacted into law providing for changes to various tax laws that impact business. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also appropriated funds for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company did not seek to borrow any funds under the program. However, as a result of an acquisition that closed during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company assumed outstanding PPP loans that had started the process of being forgiven prior to the closing of the acquisition. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company received approval from the SBA to forgive the entire amount of the outstanding PPP Loan. The amount forgiven did not have a significant impact to the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not believe these provisions have a significant impact to our current and deferred income tax balances. The Company will benefit from the technical correction to tax depreciation related to qualified improvement property and has elected to defer income tax payments and employer side social security payments where eligible. (s) Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Accordingly, the Company measures share-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense over the employee’s requisite service period using the straight-line method. The measurement of share-ba

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	Revenues Digital Media Digital Media revenues are earned primarily from the delivery of advertising services and from subscriptions to services and information. Revenue is earned from the delivery of advertising services on the Company’s owned and operated websites and on those websites that are part of Digital Media’s advertising network. Depending on the individual contracts with the customer, revenue for these services are recognized over the contract period when any of the following performance obligations are satisfied: (i) when an advertisement is placed for viewing; (ii) when a qualified sales lead is delivered; (iii) when a visitor “clicks through” on an advertisement; or (iv) when commissions are earned upon the sale of an advertised product. Revenue from subscriptions is earned through the granting of access to, or delivery of, data products or services to customers. Subscriptions cover video games and related content, health information, data and other copyrighted material. Revenues under such agreements are recognized over the contract term for use of the service. Revenues are also earned from listing fees, subscriptions to online publications, and from other sources. Subscription revenues are recognized over time. The Company generates Digital Media revenues through the license of certain assets to clients. Assets are licensed for clients’ use in their own promotional materials or otherwise. Such assets may include logos, editorial reviews, or other copyrighted material. Revenues under such license agreements are recognized over the contract term for use of the asset. Technology assets are also licensed to clients. These assets are recognized over the term of the access period. The Digital Media business also generates revenue from other sources which include marketing and production services. Such other revenues are generally recognized over the period in which the products or services are delivered. The Company also generates Digital Media revenues from transactions involving the sale of perpetual software licenses, related software support and maintenance, hardware used in conjunction with its software, and other related services. Revenue is recognized for these software transactions with multiple performance obligations after (i) the Company has had an approved contract and is committed to perform the respective obligations and (ii) the Company can identify and quantify each obligation and its respective selling price. Once the respective performance obligations have been identified and quantified, revenue will be recognized when the obligations are met, either over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the obligation. Revenues from software license performance obligations are generally recognized upfront at the point in time that the software is made available to the customer to download and use. Revenues for related software support and maintenance performance obligations are related to technical support provided to customers as needed and unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches during the term of the support period when they are available. The Company is obligated to make the support services available continuously throughout the contract period. Therefore, revenues for support contracts are generally recognized ratably over the contractual period the support services are provided. Hardware product and related software performance obligations, such as an operating system or firmware, are highly interdependent and interrelated and are accounted for as a bundled performance obligation. The revenues for this bundled performance obligation are generally recognized at the point in time that the hardware and software products are delivered and ownership is transferred to the customer. Other service revenues are generally recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company records revenue on a gross basis with respect to revenue generated (i) by the Company serving online display and video advertising across its owned and operated web properties, on third-party sites or on unaffiliated advertising networks; (ii) through the Company’s lead-generation business; and (iii) through the Company’s subscriptions. The Company records revenue on a net basis with respect to revenue paid to the Company by certain third-party advertising networks who serve online display and video advertising across the Company’s owned-and-operated web properties and certain third-party sites. Cybersecurity and Martech The Company’s Cybersecurity and Martech revenues substantially consist of recurring subscription and usage-based fees, which are primarily paid in advance by credit card. The Company defers the portions of monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually recurring subscription and usage-based fees collected in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and recognizes them in the period earned. Along with its numerous proprietary Cybersecurity and Martech solutions, the Company also generates revenues by reselling various third-party solutions, primarily through its email security line of business. These third-party solutions, along with the Company’s proprietary products, allow it to offer customers a variety of solutions to better meet the customer’s needs. The Company records revenue on a gross basis with respect to reseller revenue because the Company has control of the specified good or service prior to transferring control to the customer. Revenues from external customers classified by revenue source are as follows (in thousands). See Note 18 - Segment Information for additional information.

These reclassifications were made in order to separate games publishing revenue from traditional advertising revenue and to move job posting related revenue from subscriptions to advertising. The Company has recorded $153.0 million, and $135.5 million of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was previously included in the deferred revenue balance as of the beginning of each respective year. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company acquired $9.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of deferred revenue in connection with the Company’s business acquisitions (see Note 4 - Business Acquisitions) which are subject to purchase accounting adjustments, as appropriate. Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, revenues are allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company satisfies its performance obligations within the Digital Media business upon delivery of services to its customers. In addition, the Company provides content to its advertising partners which the Company sells to its partners’ customer base and receives a revenue share based on the terms of the agreement. The Company satisfies its performance obligations within the Cybersecurity and Martech business upon delivery of services to its customers. Payment terms vary by type and location of our customers and the services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Due to the nature of the services provided, there are no obligations for returns. Significant Judgments Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time The Company’s Digital Media business consists primarily of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This was determined based on a review of the contracts and the nature of the services offered, where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services provided. Satisfaction of these performance obligations is evidenced in the following ways: Advertising • Website reporting by the Company, the customer, or a third-party contains the delivery evidence needed to satisfy the performance obligations within the advertising contract • Successfully delivered leads are evidenced by either delivery reports from the Company’s internal lead management systems or through e-mail communication and/or other evidence of delivery showing acceptance of leads by the customer • Commission is evidenced by direct site reporting from the affiliate or via direct confirmation from the customer Subscription and Licensing • Evidence of delivery is contained in the Company’s systems or from correspondence with the customer which tracks when a customer accepts delivery of any assets, digital keys or download links The Company has concluded revenue is recognized based on delivery of services over the contract period for advertising and on a straight-line basis over the contract period for subscriptions. The Company believes that the methods described are a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. The Company’s Cybersecurity and Martech business consists primarily of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This has been determined based on the fact that the nature of services offered are subscription based where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services provided regardless of whether the customer uses the services or not. Depending on the individual contracts with the customer, revenue for these services are recognized over the contract period when any of the following materially distinct performance obligations are satisfied: • Faxing capabilities are provided (included in discontinued operations through October 7, 2021) • Voice, email marketing and search engine optimization as services are delivered • Consumer privacy services and data backup capabilities are provided • Security solutions, including email and endpoint are provided The Company has concluded that the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation over time is a time-based measure. The Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the subscription period and believes that the method used is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time The Company’s Digital Media business has technology subscriptions that have standalone functionality. As a result, they are considered to be functional intellectual property where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This is evidenced once a digital key is delivered to the customer. Once the key is delivered to the customer, the customer has full control of the technology and the Company has no further performance obligations. The Company has concluded that revenue is recognized once the digital key is delivered. The Company believes that this method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Practical Expedients Existence of a Significant Financing Component in a Contract As a practical expedient, the Company has not assessed whether a contract has a significant financing component because the Company expects at contract inception that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of promised goods or services by the Company to the customer will be one year or less. In addition, the Company has determined that the payment terms that the Company provides to its customers are structured primarily for reasons other than the provision of finance to the Company. The Company typically charges a single upfront amount for the services because other payment terms would affect the nature of the risk assumed by the Company to provide service given the costs of the customer acquisition and the highly competitive and commoditized nature of the business we operate which allows customers to easily move from one provider to another. This additional risk may make it uneconomical to provide the service. Costs to Fulfill a Contract The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from customer contracts that are for one year or less. Costs primarily consist of incentive compensation paid based on the achievements of sales targets in a given period for related revenue streams and are recognized in the month when the revenue is earned. Incentive compensation is paid on the issuance or renewal of the customer contract. As a practical expedient, for amortization periods which are determined to be one year or less, the Company expenses any incremental costs of obtaining the contract with a customer when incurred. For those customers with amortization periods determined to be greater than one year, the Company capitalizes and amortizes the expenses over the period of benefit. In addition, the Company partners with various affiliates in order to generate a portion of its revenue for certain lines of business. The commissions earned by the Company’s affiliates are incentive based and are paid on the acquisition of new customers in a given period. For those customers with amortization periods determined to be greater than one year, the Company capitalizes and amortizes the expenses over the period of benefit. Revenues Invoiced The Company has applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	Business AcquisitionsThe Company uses acquisitions as a strategy to grow its customer base by increasing its presence in new and existing markets, expand and diversify its service offerings, enhance its technology, and acquire skilled personnel. The Company completed the following acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2021, paying the purchase price in cash in each transaction: (a) an asset purchase of DailyOM, acquired on April 30, 2021, a California-based provider of health and wellness digital media, content and learning business; (b) a share purchase of SEOmoz, acquired on June 4, 2021, a Seattle-based provider of search engine optimization (“SEO”) solutions; (c) an asset purchase of Solutelia, LLC, acquired on July 15, 2021, a Colorado-based on-demand wireless telecommunications network monitoring and analysis, testing and optimization software business and related wireless telecommunications engineering services business; (d) a stock purchase of Arthur L. Davis Publishing, acquired on September 23, 2021, an Iowa-based digital nursing publication; (e) a stock purchase of Root Wireless, Inc. acquired on December 13, 2021, a Washington-based mobile analytics firm; and (f) four immaterial Digital Media acquisitions. The Consolidated Statement of Operations since the date of each acquisition and balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, reflect the results of operations of all 2021 acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2021, these acquisitions contributed $39.9 million to the Company’s revenues. Net income from continuing operations contributed by these acquisitions was not separately identifiable due to the Company’s integration activities and is impracticable to provide. Total consideration for these transactions was $160.4 million, net of cash acquired and assumed liabilities and is subject to certain post-closing adjustments which may increase or decrease the final consideration paid. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration for all 2021 acquisitions, including individually material acquisitions noted separately (in thousands): Assets and Liabilities Valuation Accounts receivable $ 9,513 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,655 Property and equipment 2,188 Operating lease right-of-use assets, noncurrent 5,888 Trade names 16,349 Customer relationship 21,945 Goodwill 97,032 Other intangibles 38,894 Other long-term assets 62 Deferred tax asset 230 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (5,863) Deferred revenue (9,491) Operating lease liabilities, current (7,191) Other current liabilities (14) Deferred tax liability (9,237) Other long-term liabilities (1,511) Total $ 160,449 During the year ended December 31, 2021, the purchase price accounting has been finalized for the following 2020 acquisitions: RetailMeNot, Inc., Inspired eLearning, The Aberdeen Group, LLC and The Big Willow, Inc., and other immaterial Digital Media and Cybersecurity and Martech acquired businesses. The initial accounting for all the 2021 acquisitions is incomplete due to timing of available information and is subject to change. The Company has recorded provisional amounts which may be based upon past acquisitions with similar attributes for certain intangible assets (including trade names, software and customer relationships), preliminary acquisition date working capital and related tax items. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to the initial working capital and to the purchase accounting due to the finalization of prior period acquisitions in the Digital Media business, which resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $1.4 million. In addition, the Company recorded adjustments to the initial working capital and to the purchase accounting due to the finalization of prior period acquisitions in the Cybersecurity and Martech businesses which resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $0.5 million (see Note 9 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets). Such adjustments had an immaterial impact on the amortization expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $9.5 million. The gross amount due under contracts is $9.9 million, of which $0.4 million is expected to be uncollectible. The Company did not acquire any other classes of receivables as a result of its acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and represents intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recognized associated with these acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2021 is $97.0 million, of which $42.1 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments	Investments Investments consist of equity and debt securities. The Company determined that certain equity securities were without a readily determinable fair value because these securities are privately held, not traded on any public exchanges and not an investment in a mutual fund or similar investment. As a result, Management has elected to alternatively measure this investment at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes to estimate fair value. The Company made a “reasonable effort” to identify any observable price changes for identical or similar investments with the issuer that were known and could be reasonably known. Any changes in the carrying value of the equity securities was reported in current earnings as (gain) loss on investment, net. In addition, the Company determined that the shares of redeemable preferred stock that were also received as part of the consideration were corporate debt securities and were classified as available-for-sale-securities. In the first quarter of 2020, in a non-cash transaction of $18.3 million, the Company exchanged these shares of redeemable preferred stock that were previously classified as available-for-sale corporate debt securities for a new series of preferred stock, classified as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The Company recognized a loss on exchange of $4.4 million, which is reflected in loss on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair values for the Company’s securities without a readily determinable fair value (in thousands). These equity securities are included within ‘Long-term investments’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost Impairment Adjustments Reported Amount December 31, 2021 Equity securities $ 17,156 $ (16,677) $ (479) $ — Total $ 17,156 $ (16,677) $ (479) $ — December 31, 2020 Equity securities $ 50,384 $ (19,605) $ (479) $ 30,300 Total $ 50,384 $ (19,605) $ (479) $ 30,300 Impairment losses, including gains and losses, are recorded in loss on investments, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $16.7 million impairment loss on investments related to a decline in value due to a sales transaction of an investee. The Company was not expected to recover the recorded cost of these securities and reduced such amount to what the Company received as a result of the sale. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold the remaining investments with proceeds for $14.3 million and a realized loss of approximately $0.3 million. At December 31, 2021, cumulative impairment losses on these securities were $40.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $19.6 million impairment loss related to a decline in value primarily due to the recapitalization of the investee and overall market volatility. At December 31, 2020, cumulative impairment losses on these securities were $23.8 million. The following table summarizes the gross unrealized gains and losses and fair values for short-term investments accounted for at fair value under the fair value option, with the unrealized gains and losses reported within earnings on the Statement of Operations (in thousands): Initial Book Value Gross Gross Fair December 31, 2021 Investment in Consensus (equity securities) $ (69,290) $ 298,490 $ — $ 229,200 Total $ (69,290) $ 298,490 $ — $ 229,200 The following table summarizes the gross unrealized gains and losses and fair values for investments classified as available-for-sale (in thousands): Amortized Gross Gross Fair December 31, 2020 Corporate debt securities $ 511 $ 152 $ — $ 663 Total $ 511 $ 152 $ — $ 663 The Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The following table summarizes the Company’s corporate debt securities designated as available-for-sale, classified by the contractual maturity date of the security (in thousands): December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Due within 1 year $ — $ 663 Due within more than 1 year but less than 5 years — — Due within more than 5 years but less than 10 years — — Due 10 years or after — — Total $ — $ 663 Recognition and Measurement of Credit Loss of Debt Securities The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instrument-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in the first quarter of 2020. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. This ASU also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in the earlier recognition of credit losses, if any. The Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are carried at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Available-for-sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in other (income) expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. There were no investments in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses on its debt securities. On September 25, 2017, the Company entered into a commitment to invest $200 million (approximately 76.6% of equity) in the OCV Fund. The primary purpose of the Fund is to provide a limited number of select investors with the opportunity to realize long-term appreciation from public and private companies, with a particular focus on the technology and life science industries. The general activities of the OCV Fund is to buy, sell, hold and otherwise invest in securities of every kind and nature and rights and options with respect thereto, including, without limitation, stock, notes, bonds, debentures and evidence of indebtedness; to exercise all rights, powers, privileges and other incidents of ownership or possession with respect to securities held or owned by the OCV Fund; to enter into, make and perform all contracts and other undertakings; and to engage in all activities and transactions as may be necessary, advisable or desirable to carry out the foregoing. The manager, OCV Management, LLC, and general partner of the Fund are entities with respect to which Richard S. Ressler, Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, is indirectly the majority equity holder and a related party. As a limited partner in the Fund, prior to the settlement of certain litigation generally related to the Company’s investment in the Fund in January 2022, the Company paid an annual management fee to the manager equal to 2.0% (reduced by 10% each year beginning with the sixth year) of capital commitments. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Fund’s limited partnership agreement, once the Company has received distributions equal to its invested capital, the Fund’s general partner would be entitled to a carried interest equal to 20%. The Fund has a six For more information related to the litigation, see Note 12. During 2021, the Company received capital call notices from the management of OCV Management, LLC for $22.2 million inclusive of certain management fees, of which $22.2 million has been paid for the year ended December 31, 2021. During 2020, the Company received capital call notices from the management of OCV Management, LLC for $32.9 million, inclusive of certain management fees, of which $31.9 million has been paid for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company received a distribution from OCV of $15.3 million, zero and $10.3 million respectively. The Company recognizes its equity in the net earnings or losses relating to the investment in OCV on a one-quarter lag due to the timing and availability of financial information from OCV. If the Company becomes aware of a significant decline in value that is other-than-temporary, the loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized an investment gain (loss) of $35.8 million, $(11.3) million, and $(0.2) million, net of tax expense (benefit), respectively. The fiscal 2021 gain was primarily the result of gains in the underlying investments. The fiscal 2020 loss was primarily a result of the impairment of two of its investments as a result of COVID-19 in the amount of $7.0 million net of tax benefit. In addition, the Company recognized an investment loss in fiscal 2020 in the amount of $4.3 million, net of tax benefit. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 the Company recognized management fees of $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $3.0 million, net of tax benefit, respectively. The following table discloses the carrying amount for the Company’s equity method investment (in thousands). These equity securities are included within ‘Long-term investments’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Equity securities $ 122,593 $ 67,195 Maximum exposure to loss $ 122,593 $ 67,195 As a limited partner, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its proportional ownership in the partnership. In addition, the Company is not required to contribute capital in an aggregate amount in excess of its capital commitment and any expected losses will not be in excess of the Capital Account. Finally, there are no call or put options, or other types of arrangements, which limit the Company’s ability to participate in losses and returns of the Fund.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations and Dispositions	Discontinued Operations and Dispositions Consensus Spin-Off On October 7, 2021, the Separation was completed and the Company transferred J2 Cloud Services, LLC to Consensus who in turn transferred non-fax assets and liabilities back to Ziff Davis such that Consensus was left with the cloud fax business. The Separation was achieved through the Company’s distribution of 80.1% of the shares of Consensus common stock to holders of J2 Global common stock as of the close of business on October 1, 2021, the record date for the distribution. The Company’s stockholders of record received one share of Consensus common stock for every three shares of J2 Global’s common stock. Ziff Davis, Inc. (formerly J2 Global, Inc.) retained a 19.9% interest in Consensus following the Separation. We did not retain a controlling interest in Consensus. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option, and subsequent fair value changes are included in the assets of and results from continuing operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, our investment in Consensus common stock was remeasured at fair value based on Consensus’ closing stock price, with an unrealized gain of approximately $298.5 million recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and a balance of $229.2 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (See Note 5). No gain or loss was recorded on the Separation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain of the Company’s management and members of its board of directors resigned from the Company as of the Distribution Date and joined Consensus. In addition, one of the Company’s members of its senior management as of December 31, 2021 serves on the board of directors of Consensus. On October 7, 2021, Consensus paid Ziff Davis approximately $259.1 million of cash in a distribution that is anticipated to be tax-free provided certain requirements are met, and issued $500.0 million of senior notes due 2028 to Ziff Davis, which Ziff Davis then exchanged such notes with the lenders under the Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement Amendments by and among the subsidiaries of Ziff Davis party thereto as guarantors, Citicorp North America Inc. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, in exchange for extinguishment of indebtedness outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility (see Note 10 - Debt). Such lenders or their affiliates agreed to resell the 2028 notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company incurred a net loss on extinguishment of approximately $8.8 million recorded within ‘Loss on Extinguishment of Debt’ component of ‘Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 10). The divestiture of the cloud fax business was determined to qualify for US Federal tax-free treatment under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The accounting requirements for reporting the Company’s cloud fax business as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed as the Separation constitutes a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the result of the cloud fax business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations report discontinued operations separate from continuing operations. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (including Note 19 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information) and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity combine continuing and discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity include the cloud fax activity for January 1, 2021 through October 7, 2021. The key components of cash flows from discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Capital expenditures $ 15,252 $ 16,237 $ 6,996 Depreciation and amortization $ 9,010 $ 11,759 $ 10,270 Loss on debt extinguishment $ 8,750 $ 37,969 $ — Amortization of financing costs and discounts $ — $ 1,171 $ 1,428 Foreign currency remeasurement gain $ — $ 31,537 $ — Deferred taxes $ 8,015 $ 5,534 $ (55,931) In preparation for and executing the Separation, the Company incurred $11.6 million, net of reimbursement from Consensus, in transaction-related costs including legal and accounting fees during the year ended December 31, 2021, which were recorded in ‘General and administrative expenses’ component of ‘Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes’ within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and transaction execution and separation activities within finance, tax and legal functions. In connection with the Separation, Ziff Davis and Consensus entered into several agreements that govern the relationship of the parties following the Separation. These agreements, as well as other activities related to Ziff Davis’s continuing involvement with Consensus are further discussed in Note 21 - Related Party Transactions. The key components of income from discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands). The Company made an accounting policy election not to allocate interest to discontinued operations. Interest expense included in discontinued operations relates to the 6.0% Senior Notes issued by J2 Cloud Services, LLC and the Bridge Loan Facility, which was required to be repaid as part of the Separation.

Such assets were recorded within the Cybersecurity and Martech reportable segment. On February 9, 2021, in a cash transaction, the Company sold the Voice assets. The total gain recognized on the sale of these Voice assets was $2.8 million which was recorded in (loss) gain on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the year ended December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company committed to a plan to sell its B2B Backup business as it was determined to be a non-core business. The B2B Backup business met the held for sale criteria, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities were presented as held for sale on the Consolidated Statement Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The business is recorded within the Cybersecurity and Martech reportable segment. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company received an offer to purchase the B2B Backup business and management determined that the fair value of the business less cost to sell was lower than its carrying amount. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment to goodwill of $32.6 million during the second quarter of 2021, which was recorded in impairment of business on the Consolidated Statement of Operations (see Note 9 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets). On September 17, 2021, in a cash transaction, the Company sold the B2B Backup business. The total loss recognized on the sale of the B2B Backup business was $24.6 million which was recorded in (loss) gain on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the year ended December 31, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, which defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: § Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. § Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. § Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1. The Company values these Level 1 investments using quoted market prices. The fair value of long-term debt is determined using recent quoted market prices or dealer quotes for each of the Company’s instruments, which are Level 1 inputs. On October 7, 2021, we completed the Consensus separation and retained 19.9% of the shares of Consensus common stock immediately following the Separation. We did not retain a controlling interest in Consensus. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option, and the fair value of our retained shares and subsequent fair value changes are included in our assets of and results from continuing operations, respectively. At December 31, 2021, our investment in Consensus common stock was remeasured at fair value based on Consensus’ closing stock price, with unrealized gains of $298.5 million recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and a balance of $229.2 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the investment in Consensus is determined using the quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 input. Certain of the Company’s debt securities are classified within Level 2. The Company values these Level 2 investments based on model-driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of our senior notes was determined using quoted market prices or dealer quotes for instruments with similar maturities and other terms and credit ratings, which are Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the MUFG Credit Facility approximated its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate, which approximated a market interest rate, and was considered a Level 2 input. The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was $1.3 billion and $2.0 billion, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively (see Note 10 - Debt). In 2019, the Company entered into a $5.5 million note payable that was short-term in nature and associated with the quarter’s acquisition activity. In the same year, the Company paid down $5.1 million of the outstanding note and in the third quarter of 2020, the balance of the note payable was paid in full. The Company classifies its contingent consideration liability in connection with acquisitions within Level 3 because factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs, such as volatility and market risks, and are not supported by market activity. For similar reasons, certain of the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities were classified within Level 3. The valuation approaches used to value Level 3 investments considers unobservable inputs in the market such as time to liquidity, volatility, dividend yield and breakpoints. Significant increases or decreases in either of the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The following table presents the fair values, valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, and ranges of the Company’s financial liabilities categorized within Level 3. The weighted averages below are a product of the unobservable input and fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no transfers that occurred between levels.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination and is assigned to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of purchased customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technologies and other intangible assets. The fair values of these identified intangible assets are based upon expected future cash flows or income, which take into consideration certain assumptions such as customer turnover, trade names and patent lives. These determinations are primarily based upon the Company’s historical experience and expected benefit of each intangible asset. If it is determined that such assumptions are not accurate, then the resulting change will impact the fair value of the intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated economic benefit, which ranges from one The changes in carrying amounts of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands): Digital Media Cybersecurity and Martech Consolidated Balance as of January 1, 2020 $ 755,161 $ 557,940 $ 1,313,101 Goodwill acquired (Note 4) 177,951 24,950 202,901 Goodwill removed due to sale of businesses (2) — (4,751) (4,751) Purchase accounting adjustments (1) 9,721 (2,130) 7,591 Foreign exchange translation 101 6,057 6,158 Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 942,934 $ 582,066 $ 1,525,000 Goodwill acquired (Note 4) 55,704 41,328 97,032 Goodwill removed due to sale of businesses (3) — (50,277) (50,277) Goodwill impairment (4) — (32,629) (32,629) Purchase accounting adjustments (1) (1,437) 505 (932) Foreign exchange translation (542) (6,197) (6,739) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 996,659 $ 534,796 $ 1,531,455 (1) Purchase accounting adjustments relate to measurement period adjustments to goodwill in connection with prior business acquisitions (see Note 4 - Business Acquisitions).

(the “Co-Issuer” and together with J2 Cloud, the “Issuers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, completed the issuance and sale of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of their 6.0% senior notes due in 2025 (the “6.0% Senior Notes”) in a private placement offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. J2 Cloud received proceeds of $636.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The 6.0% Senior Notes bore interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. On October 7, 2020, J2 Cloud redeemed all of its outstanding $650.0 million 6.0% Senior Notes due in 2025 for $694.6 million, including an early redemption premium of $29.2 million and accrued and unpaid interest of $15.4 million. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $38.0 million which is recorded in interest expense, net within discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 4.625% Senior Notes On October 7, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% senior notes due 2030 (the “4.625% Senior Notes”) in a private placement offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company received proceeds of $742.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The net proceeds were used to redeem all of its outstanding 6.0% Senior Notes due in 2025 and, remaining net proceeds were available for general corporate purposes which may include acquisitions and the repurchase or redemption of other outstanding indebtedness. These Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2021. The 4.625% Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2030, and are senior unsecured obligations of the Company which are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). If the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries acquires or creates a domestic restricted subsidiary, other than an Insignificant Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture pursuant to which the 4.625% Senior Notes were issued (the “Indenture”)), after the issue date, or any Insignificant Subsidiary ceases to fit within the definition of Insignificant Subsidiary, such restricted subsidiary is required to unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, the Company’s obligations under the 4.625% Senior Notes. The Company may redeem some or all of the 4.625% Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2025 at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding the redemption date. Before October 15, 2023, and following certain equity offerings, the Company also may redeem up to 40% of the 4.625% Senior Notes at a price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding the redemption date. The Company may make such redemption only if, after such redemption, at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Senior Notes remains outstanding. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2025, the Company may redeem some or all of the 4.625% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. The Indenture contains covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to (i) pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s common stock or repurchase the Company’s capital stock; (ii) make certain restricted payments; (iii) create liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vi) transfer and sell assets. These covenants contain certain exceptions. Restricted payments are applicable only if the Company and subsidiaries designated as restricted subsidiaries has a net leverage ratio of greater than 3.5 to 1.0. In addition, if such net leverage ratio is in excess of 3.5 to 1.0, the restriction on restricted payments is subject to various exceptions, including the total aggregate amount not exceeding the greater of (A) $250 million and (B) 50.0% of EBITDA for the most recently ended four fiscal quarter period ended immediately prior to such date for which internal financial statements are available. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. On October 8, 2021, Ziff Davis announced that it had accepted tender offers to purchase $83.3 million in aggregate principal of its 4.625% Senior Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $90.0 million. The tender offer expired on October 22, 2021. As such, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $7.4 million associated with the tender of the 4.625% Senior Notes, which was recorded within ‘Loss on extinguishment of debt’ within the Statements of Operations. Further, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased an additional $25.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Senior Notes for a purchase price of approximately $26.0 million. The Company recognized a loss of $0.6 million associated with the repurchase of the 4.625% Senior Notes, which was recorded within ‘Loss on extinguishment of debt’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During January 2022, the Company repurchased an additional $54.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Senior Notes (see Note 23 - Subsequent Events). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the 4.625% Senior Notes was approximately $659.9 million and $796.9 million, respectively, and was based on recent quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the 4.625% Senior Notes which are Level 1 inputs (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). The following table provides additional information on the 4.625% Senior Notes (in thousands): 2021 Principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes $ 641,276 Less: Unamortized discount (4,259) Less: Debt issuance costs (1,339) Net carrying amount of 4.625% Senior Notes $ 635,678 3.25% Convertible Notes On June 10, 2014, the Company issued $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due June 15, 2029 (the “3.25% Convertible Notes”). The 3.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing on June 15, 2021, the Company had to pay contingent interest on the 3.25% Convertible Notes during any six-month interest period if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes for each of the five In connection with the spin-off of Consensus, the Company called its 3.25% Convertible Notes for redemption and on August 2, 2021, the Company redeemed in full all of its outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company satisfied its conversion obligation by paying the principal of $402.4 million in cash and issued 3,050,850 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity). The redemption of the liability component of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, resulted in a gain of approximately $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 within ‘Loss on debt extinguishment, net’ in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The reacquisition of the equity component of the 3.25% Convertible Notes resulted in a reduction of stockholders’ equity of approximately $390.5 million, net of tax, During the fourth quarter of 2020, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the quarter. As a result, the 3.25% Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of the holder during the quarter beginning January 1, 2021 and ending March 31, 2021. Since as of December 31, 2020, the Company intended to settle the principal amount in cash, the net carrying amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes was classified within current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020. Accounting for the 3.25% Convertible Notes In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, convertible debt that can be settled for cash is required to be separated into the liability and equity component at issuance, with each component assigned a value. The value assigned to the liability component is the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of similar debt without the conversion feature. The difference between the cash proceeds and estimated fair value of the liability component, representing the value of the conversion premium assigned to the equity component, is recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date. This debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period from the issuance date through the first stated repurchase date. The Company estimated the borrowing rates of similar debt without the conversion feature at origination to be 5.79% for the 3.25% Convertible Notes and determined the debt discount to be $59.0 million. As a result, a conversion premium after tax of $37.7 million was recorded in additional paid-in capital. The aggregate debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the period from the issuance date through the first stated repurchase date on June 15, 2021 which management believed was the expected life of the 3.25% Convertible Notes using an interest rate of 5.81%. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining period over which the unamortized debt discount will be amortized was 0.5 years. The 3.25% Convertible Notes were carried at face value less any unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. The fair value of the 3.25% Convertible Notes at each balance sheet date was determined based on recent quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the 3.25% Convertible Notes, which are Level 1 inputs (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). If such information was not available, the fair value was determined using cash-flow models of the scheduled payments discounted at market interest rates for comparable debt without the conversion feature. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the 3.25% Convertible Notes was approximately zero and $593.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the if-converted value of the 3.25% Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $173.3 million. The following table provides additional information related to the 3.25% Convertible Notes (in thousands): 2021 2020 Additional paid-in capital $ — $ 37,688 Principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes $ — $ 402,414 Less: Unamortized discount of the liability component — (4,644) Less: Carrying amount of debt issuance costs — (855) Net carrying amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes $ — $ 396,915 The following table provides the components of interest expense related to the 3.25% Convertible Notes (in thousands): 2021 2020 2019 Cash interest expense (coupon interest expense) $ 5,994 $ 13,080 $ 13,081 Non-cash amortization of discount on 3.25% Convertible Notes 4,645 9,717 9,171 Amortization of debt issuance costs 855 1,749 1,600 Total interest expense related to 3.25% Convertible Notes $ 11,494 $ 24,546 $ 23,852 The Company has recorded changes in fair value associated with the contingent interest feature of the 3.25% Convertible Notes in interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 of zero, zero, and $(0.8) million, respectively (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). 1.75% Convertible Notes On November 15, 2019, the Company issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2026 (the “1.75% Convertible Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $537.1 million in cash, net of purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs. A portion of the net proceeds were used to pay off all amounts outstanding under the then-existing Credit Facility. The 1.75% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2020. The 1.75% Convertible Notes will mature on November 1, 2026, unless earlier converted or repurchased. Holders may surrender their 1.75% Convertible Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2026 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding the calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price of the 1.75% Convertible Notes on each such applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period following any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after July 1, 2026, and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The Company will settle conversions of the 1.75% Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof at the Company’s election. The Company currently intends to satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and delivering a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of the notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, subject to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the market trigger conditions did not meet the conversion requirements of the 1.75% Convertible Notes and, accordingly, the 1.75% Convertible Notes are classified as long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the Separation, the conversion rate on the 1.75% Convertible Notes was 7.9864 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $125.21 per share of the Company’s common stock. The Separation constituted an event under the 1.75% Convertible Notes that required an adjustment and the conversion rate increased to 9.3783 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $106.63 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the indenture governing the 1.75% Convertible Notes, but will not be adjusted for accrued interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 1.75% Convertible Note Indenture), the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 1.75% Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the 1.75% Convertible Notes prior to November 1, 2026, and no sinking fund is provided for the 1.75% Convertible Notes. The 1.75% Convertible Notes are the Company’s general senior unsecured obligations and rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 1.75% Convertible Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated, including its then-existing 3.25% Convertible Notes due 2029; (iii) effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, including the then-existing 6.0% Senior Notes due 2025. Accounting for the 1.75% Convertible Notes In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options , convertible debt that can be settled for cash is required to be separated into the liability and equity component at issuance, with each component assigned a value. The value assigned to the liability component is the effective fair value, as of the issuance date, of similar debt without the conversion feature. The difference between the cash proceeds and estimated fair value of the liability component, representing the value of the conversion premium assigned to the equity component, is recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date. This debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period from the issuance date through the maturity date of November 1, 2026. The Company estimated the borrowing rates of similar debt without the conversion feature at origination to be 5.5% for the 1.75% Convertible Notes and determined the debt discount to be $118.9 million. As a result, a conversion premium after tax of $88.1 million (net of $2.8 million of the deferred issuance costs) are recorded in additional paid-in capital. The aggregate debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the period from the issuance date through the maturity date of November 1, 2026, which management believes is the expected life of the 1.75% Convertible Notes using an interest rate of 5.5%. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining period over which the unamortized debt discount will be amortized is 4.8 years. In connection with the issuance of the 1.75% Convertible Notes, the Company incurred $12.9 million of deferred issuance costs, which primarily consisted of the underwriters’ discount, legal and other professional service fees. Of the total deferred issuance costs incurred, $10.1 million of such deferred issuance costs were attributable to the liability component and are recorded within other assets and are being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date. The remaining $2.8 million of the deferred issuance costs were netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital at the issuance date. As of December 31, 2021, the unamortized deferred issuance costs were $7.7 million. The 1.75% Convertible Notes are carried at face value less any unamortized debt discount and issuance costs. The fair value of the 1.75% Convertible Notes at each balance sheet date is determined based on recent quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the 1.75% Convertible Notes, which are Level 1 inputs (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). If such information is not available, the fair value is determined using cash-flow models of the scheduled payments discounted at market interest rates for comparable debt without the conversion feature. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the 1.75% Convertible Notes was approximately $685.4 million and $569.7 million, respectively. The following table provides additional information related to the 1.75% Convertible Notes (in thousands): 2021 2020 Additional paid-in capital $ 88,138 $ 88,138 Principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes $ 550,000 $ 550,000 Less: Unamortized discount of the liability component (87,334) (102,631) Less: Carrying amount of debt issuance costs (7,717) (8,889) Net carrying amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes $ 454,949 $ 438,480 The following table provides the components of interest expense related to the 1.75% Convertible Notes (in thousands): 2021 2020 Cash interest expense (coupon interest expense) $ 9,625 $ 9,653 Non-cash amortization of discount on 1.75% Convertible Notes 15,338 14,563 Amortization of debt issuance costs 1,173 1,098 Total interest expense related to 1.75% Convertible Notes $ 26,136 $ 25,314 Credit Facility and Bridge Loan On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a $100.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). Subject to customary conditions, the Company may, from time to time, request increases in the commitments under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $250.0 million, for a total aggregate commitment of up to $350.0 million. The final maturity of the Credit Facility will occur on April 7, 2026. On June 2, 2021, June 21, 2021, August 20, 2021 and September 16, 2021, the Company entered into First, Second, Third and Fourth Amendments (together the “Amendments”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendments (i) provided for the issuance of a senior secured term loan under the Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount of $485.0 million (the “Bridge Loan Facility”), (ii) permitted the spin-off of the Company’s cloud fax business into a new publicly traded company, and (iii) provided for certain other changes to the Credit Agreement. The Bridge Loan Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) initially upon funding of the loan, either a base rate plus 2.00%, or a LIBOR rate plus 3.00%, (ii) from six months after the funding date of the Bridge Loan Facility until twelve months after the funding date of the Bridge Loan Facility, either a base rate plus 2.50%, or a LIBOR rate plus 3.50%, and (iii) from twelve months after the funding date of the Bridge Loan Facility until repayment of the Bridge Loan Facility, either a base rate plus 3.00% or a LIBOR rate plus 4.00%. The Bridge Loan Facility was to mature on the date that is 364 days after the funding date of the Bridge Loan Facility, with two automatic extensions, each for an additional three months, if SEC approval of the spin-off transaction was still outstanding. The Company was required to pay a funding fee of 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loan Facility made on the funding date thereof, as well as a duration fee of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bridge Loans on the sixth month anniversary of the funding of the Bridge Loans, and a fee of 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bridge Loans on each of the nine-month, twelve-month and fifteen-month anniversaries of the funding of the Bridge Loans. The Company incurred approximately $5.1 million in costs and interest associated with the Bridge Loan Facility recorded within ‘Interest expense’ component of ‘Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 In connection with the spin-off of Consensus, the Company drew the full amount of the Bridge Loan Facility and used the proceeds of the Bridge Loan Facility to redeem the 3.25% Convertible Notes and a portion of the 4.625% Senior Notes. On October 7, 2021, Consensus issued $500.0 million of senior notes due 2028 to Ziff Davis, which Ziff Davis then exchanged such notes with the lenders under the Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement Amendments by and among the subsidiaries of Ziff Davis party thereto as guarantors, Citicorp North America Inc. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, in exchange for the extinguishment of the indebtedness outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility. Such lenders or their affiliates agreed to resell the 2028 notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company incurred a net loss on extinguishment of approximately $8.8 million recorded within ‘Loss on Extinguishment of Debt’ component of ‘Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating and finance leases which expire at various dates through 2031. Office and equipment leases are typically for terms of three During the year ended 2021, the Company recorded impairments of $12.7 million on its operating lease right of use assets primarily related to exiting certain lease space as the Company regularly evaluates its office space requirements in light of more of its workforce working from home as part of a permanent “remote” or “partial remote” work model. During the year ended 2020, the Company had also decided to exit and seek subleases for certain leased facilities in the Digital Media reportable segment primarily also due to work from home models. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12.1 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets for the affected facilities and an impairment charge of $3.6 million for associated property and equipment. The impairments were determined by comparing the fair value of the impacted right-of-use asset to the carrying value of the asset as of the impairment measurement date, as required under ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The fair value of the right-of-use asset was based on the estimated sublease income for the affected facilities taking into consideration the time it will take to obtain a sublease tenant, the applicable discount rate and the sublease rate which represent Level 3 unobservable inputs. The impairments are presented in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In certain agreements in which the Company leases office space where the Company is the tenant, it subleases the site to various other companies through a sublease agreement. Finance leases are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are therefore not included in the disclosures. The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2021 2020 Operating lease cost $ 31,396 $ 38,421 Short-term lease cost 2,754 1,031 Total lease cost $ 34,150 $ 39,452 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Operating leases Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 55,617 $ 80,133 Total operating lease right-of-use assets $ 55,617 $ 80,133 Operating lease liability, current $ 27,156 $ 29,634 Operating lease liabilities, noncurrent 53,708 73,628 Total operating lease liabilities $ 80,864 $ 103,262 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2021 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 27,798 $ 27,402 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases $ 9,850 $ 31,148 Other supplemental operating lease information consists of the following: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Operating leases: Weighted average remaining lease term 3.9 years 4.0 years Weighted average discount rate 3.48 % 3.68 % Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases Fiscal Year: 2022 $ 28,163 2023 21,261 2024 17,046 2025 8,563 2026 5,511 Thereafter 5,405 Total lease payments $ 85,949 Less: Imputed interest (5,085) Present value of operating lease liabilities $ 80,864 Sublease Total sublease income for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2.0 million, $2.6 million, and $3.5 million, respectively. Total estimated aggregate sublease income to be received in the future is $7.0 million. In 2020, the Company recorded $2.1 million associated with its sublease tenants in default as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19. The impairment is presented in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Significant Judgments Discount Rate The majority of the Company’s leases are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Rates are obtained from various large banks to determine the appropriate incremental borrowing rate each quarter for collateralized loans with a maturity similar to the lease term. Options The lease term is generally the minimum noncancelable period of the lease. The Company does not include option periods unless the Company determined it is reasonably certain of exercising the option at inception or when a triggering event occurs.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation From time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation and other legal disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. Any claims or regulatory actions against the Company and its affiliates, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming and costly, and could divert significant operational resources. The outcomes of such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, carrying the potential for unfavorable rulings that could include monetary damages and injunctive relief. On July 8, 2020, Jeffrey Garcia filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company in the Central District of California (20-cv-06906), alleging violations of federal securities laws. The Company has moved to dismiss the consolidated class action complaint. The court granted the motion to dismiss and the plaintiff has filed an amended complaint. The Company has moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 24, 2020, International Union of Operating Engineers of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware filed an action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (C.A. No. 2020-0819-VCL) asserting derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related theories against directors of the Company and other third parties relating generally the investment by the Company in OCV Fund I, L.P. (the “Chancery Court Derivative Action”). On November 17, 2020, the court entered an order allowing Orlando Police Pension Fund to intervene as a plaintiff in the case. The parties have reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit, which requires court approval. On July 29, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation of settlement that provides the terms of the settlement and begins the settlement approval process with the Court. On January 20, 2022 the Court approved the settlement (See Note 23 - Subsequent Events). Among other terms of the settlement, no further capital calls will be made in connection with the Company’s investment in OCV Fund I, L.P. On December 11, 2020, Danning Huang filed a lawsuit in the District of Delaware (20-cv-01687-LPS) asserting derivative claims against directors of the Company and other third parties. The lawsuit alleges violations of Section 14(a), Section 10(b), Section 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and abuse of control. On March 24, 2021, Fritz Ringling filed a lawsuit in the District of Delaware (21-cv-00421-UNA) asserting substantially similar derivative claims, and on April 8, 2021, the district court consolidated the two actions under the caption In re J2 Global Stockholder Derivative Litigation. No.: 20-cv-01687-LPS. On January 21, 2022, a stipulation of partial dismissal was filed in the consolidated action following approval of the settlement of the Chancery Court Derivative Action described above, the Company and its directors and officers intend to defend against the remaining claims. The Company does not believe, based on current knowledge, that the foregoing legal proceedings or claims, after giving effect to existing accrued liabilities, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, depending on the amount and timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period. The Company has not accrued for any material loss contingencies relating to these legal proceedings because materially unfavorable outcomes are not considered probable by management. It is the Company’s policy to expense as incurred legal fees related to various litigations. Non-Income Related Taxes The Company does not collect and remit sales and use, telecommunication, or similar taxes and fees in certain jurisdictions where the Company believes such taxes are not applicable or legally required. Several states and other taxing jurisdictions have presented or threatened the Company with assessments, alleging that the Company is required to collect and remit such taxes there. The Company is currently under audit or is subject to audit for indirect taxes in various states, municipalities and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has a $24.0 million reserve established for these matters. It is reasonably possible that additional liabilities could be incurred resulting in additional expense, which could have a material impact to our financial results.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The continuing operations provision for income tax consisted of the following (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Current: Federal $ (8,435) $ 15,112 $ 14,227 State (248) 4,300 1,002 Foreign 15,931 18,631 6,045 Total current 7,248 38,043 21,274 Deferred: Federal (17,132) (6,022) (2,004) State (5,044) (67) (3,849) Foreign 729 6,396 (1,661) Total deferred (21,447) 307 (7,514) Total provision $ (14,199) $ 38,350 $ 13,760 A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate with the Company’s continuing operations effective income tax rate is as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Statutory tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net (1.3) 1.8 0.8 Foreign rate differential (0.3) 2.8 (0.7) Foreign income inclusion 0.7 5.2 4.4 Foreign tax credit (0.8) (4.3) (4.5) Reserve for uncertain tax positions (2.4) 11.5 9.3 Valuation allowance (1.7) 9.9 0.2 Impact on deferred taxes of enacted tax law and rate changes (0.5) 3.3 (1.3) Tax credits and incentives (1.5) (7.2) (9.2) Mark-to market on investment in Consensus (18.0) — — Return to provision adjustments 0.5 2.4 0.2 Executive compensation 0.7 2.7 5.3 Other (0.4) (0.2) (0.4) Effective tax rates (4.0) % 48.9 % 25.1 % The effective tax rate for continuing operations the year ended December 31, 2021 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to a book-tax difference related to the $298.5 million of book income recognized related to the Company’s shares held in Consensus stock. The income is not subject to tax since the Company has the ability to dispose of the investment in a tax-free manner based on guidance and requirements set out by the Internal Revenue Service. Additional reasons the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate include the impact of a decrease in the net reserve for uncertain tax positions during 2021 and a reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to realized and unrealized capital losses. The decrease in the reserve for uncertain tax positions is primarily due to the lapse of the statute of limitations for U.S. tax reserves. The reduction in the valuation allowance is primarily due to an increase in unrealized capital gains on investments held by the Company which can provide a source of capital gain income in future years to realize the benefit of the capital losses. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company recording a net increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions during 2020 and recording a valuation allowance for a capital loss recognized due to the sale of assets related to its Voice business unit in Australia and New Zealand and the impairment of certain U.S. investments. The effective tax rate for 2019 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to a net increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions related to prior years and the impacts of the jurisdictional mix of income and disallowance of certain losses and expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Temporary differences and carryforwards which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 28,393 $ 21,134 Tax credit carryforwards 2,801 9,022 Accrued expenses 12,548 17,393 Allowance for bad debt 2,116 3,757 Share-based compensation expense 3,545 5,923 Impairment of investments — 6,714 Deferred revenue 4,331 912 State taxes 3,771 4,948 Other 9,426 11,071 66,931 80,874 Less: valuation allowance (1,812) (8,262) Total deferred tax assets $ 65,119 $ 72,612 Deferred tax liabilities: Basis difference in property and equipment $ (8,337) $ (17,126) Basis difference in intangible assets (117,244) (129,301) Unrealized gains on investments (11,291) — Prepaid insurance (3,121) (2,703) Convertible debt (21,972) (65,192) Other (6,219) (3,403) Total deferred tax liabilities (168,184) (217,725) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (103,065) $ (145,113) The Company had approximately $65.1 million and $72.6 million in deferred tax assets from continuing operations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related primarily to net operating loss carryforwards, basis difference in intangible assets including differences related to intra-entity transfers, tax credit carryforwards and accrued expenses treated differently between its financial statements and its tax returns. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. If necessary, the Company records a valuation allowance sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The deferred tax assets should be realized through future operating results and the reversal of temporary differences. The Company had a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets from continuing operations of $1.8 million and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The valuation allowance decreased $6.5 million as a result of the release of valuation allowance related to the impairment and sales of investments that would result in a capital loss in the year of sale. The deduction for the capital losses would be limited to other capital gains recognized during the year. A $6.3 million valuation allowance was recorded in 2020 related to these items. During 2021, the Company recognized unrealized capital gains at its investments that provided a sufficient source of future income to be more likely than not to realize the deferred tax assets related to capital losses. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $37.2 million , after considering substantial restrictions on the utilization of these NOLs due to “ownership changes”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Company estimates that all of the above-mentioned federal NOLs will be available for use before their expiration. $36.7 million of NOLs for losses incurred prior to January 1, 2018 expire through the year 2037 and $0.5 million of the NOLs carry forward indefinitely depending on the year the loss was incurred. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has interest expense limitation carryovers of $23.3 million and $0, respectively, which last indefinitely. The Company also has federal capital loss limitation carryforwards as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $28.7 million and $0, respectively that begin to expire in 2031. In addition, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had available state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $5.1 million and $9.1 million, respectively, which last indefinitely. The Company has no foreign tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company has not provided for deferred taxes on approximately $322.8 million of undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021. The Company has not provided for any additional deferred taxes with respect to items such as foreign withholding taxes, state income tax or foreign exchange gain or loss that would be due when cash is actually repatriated to the U.S. because those foreign earnings are considered permanently reinvested in the business or may be remitted substantially free of any additional taxes. Because of the various avenues in which to repatriate the earnings, the determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings if eventually remitted is not practicable. Cash paid for income taxes net of refunds received for continuing operations and discontinued operations was $61.2 million, $45.0 million and $45.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain tax payments are prepaid during the year and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s prepaid tax payments were $0.8 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income from continuing operations before income taxes included income from domestic operations of $279.7 million , $(2.0) million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and income from foreign operations of $71.7 million, $80.4 million and $53.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Uncertain Income Tax Positions Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies gross interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for continuing operations was $39.5 million, of which $35.6 million , if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for continuing operations was $46.0 million, of which $44.9 million, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2019, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for continuing operations was $43.7 million, of which $42.7 million, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The aggregate changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, for 2021, 2020 and 2019, is as follows (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 46,032 $ 43,687 $ 40,842 Increases related to tax positions during a prior year 3,448 3,953 5,285 Decreases related to tax positions taken during a prior year (5,511) (244) — Increases related to tax positions taken in the current year 4,675 4,264 3,991 Settlements — (5,628) (5,831) Decreases related to expiration of statute of limitations (9,117) — (600) Ending balance $ 39,527 $ 46,032 $ 43,687 The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $5.7 million, $7.2 million, and $5.0 million, respectively, which is classified as a liability for uncertain tax positions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognized interest and penalty expense (benefit) in 2021, 2020 and 2019 of $(1.5) million, $2.8 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. Uncertain income tax positions are reasonably possible to significantly change during the next 12 months as a result of completion of income tax audits and expiration of statutes of limitations. At this point it is not possible to provide an estimate of the amount, if any, of significant changes in reserves for uncertain income tax positions as a result of the completion of income tax audits that are reasonably possible to occur in the next 12 months. In addition, the Company cannot currently estimate the amount of, if any, uncertain income tax positions which will be released in the next 12 months as a result of expiration of statutes of limitations due to ongoing audits. As a result of ongoing federal, state and foreign income tax audits (discussed below), it is reasonably possible that the Company’s entire reserve for uncertain income tax positions for the periods under audit will be released. It is also reasonably possible that the Company’s reserves will be inadequate to cover the entire amount of any such income tax liability. Income Tax Audits: The Company is in various stages of audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for its 2012 through 2016 tax years. On February 24, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Deficiency for tax years 2012 through 2014 which disallowed certain deductions for domestic production. The Company disagrees with the Notice and has filed a petition with the United States Tax Court on May 24, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the audits are ongoing. The Company is under audit by the California Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) for its tax years 2012 and 2013. The FTB, however, has agreed to suspend its audit for 2012 and 2013 pending the outcome of the IRS audit for such tax years. In August 2018, the FTB notified the Company that it will commence an audit of tax years 2015 and 2016. As of December 31, 2021, the audits are ongoing. In June 2019, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (“NYS”) notified the Company that it will commence an audit for tax year 2015. In April 2020, the NYS notified the Company that it will also commence an audit for tax years 2016 and 2017. As of December 31, 2021, the audits are ongoing. We conduct business on a global basis and as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and in multiple state, local, and foreign tax jurisdictions. As noted previously, our U.S. federal income tax returns for years 2012 through 2016 are under various stages of audit by the IRS. We are also under audit for various U.S. state and local tax purposes as noted above for our significant jurisdictions. With limited exception, our significant foreign tax jurisdictions are no longer subject to an income tax audit by the various tax authorities for tax years prior to 2014.

Prior to 2018, there were 2,873,920 shares available under the 2012 Program. In November 2018 and May 2019, the Company entered into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans with a broker to facilitate the repurchase program. 600,000 shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program in 2018 at an aggregate cost of $42.5 million and were subsequently retired in March 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 197,870 shares at an aggregate cost of $16.0 million which were subsequently retired in the same year. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,140,819 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $87.5 million, which were subsequently retired in the same year. As of December 31, 2020, all of the available shares were repurchased under the 2012 Program at an aggregate cost of $204.6 million (including an immaterial amount of commission fees). On August 6, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to ten million shares of our common stock through August 6, 2025 (the “2020 Program”) in addition to the five million shares repurchased under the 2012 Program. The Company entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 445,711 and 2,490,599 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $47.7 million and $177.8 million, respectively, (including an immaterial amount of commission fees) under the 2020 Program, which were subsequently retired. During January 2022, the Company repurchased 554,289 shares at an aggregate cost of $58.7 million (including an immaterial amount of commission fees) under the 2020 Program (see Note 23 - Subsequent Events). As a result of the Company’s share repurchase programs, the number of shares available for purchase as of December 31, 2021 is 7,063,690 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the Consensus spin-off, the Company called its 3.25% Convertible Notes for redemption and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 3,050,850 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, in connection with that redemption (see Note 10 - Debt). Periodically, participants in the Company’s stock plans surrender to the Company shares of stock to pay the exercise price or to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock. During the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company purchased and retired 251,946, 111,451 and 71,077 shares, respectively, from plan participants for this purpose.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation The Company’s share-based compensation plans include the 2007 Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). Each plan is described below. The 2007 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other share-based awards. 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized to be used for 2007 Plan purposes. Options under the 2007 Plan may be granted at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the exercise prices shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant for non-statutory stock options. As of December 31, 2021, 5,439 shares underlying options and zero shares of restricted units were outstanding under the 2007 Plan. The 2007 Plan terminated on February 14, 2017. The 2015 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units and other share-based awards. 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized to be used for 2015 Plan purposes. Options under the 2015 Plan may be granted at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the exercise prices shall not be less than the higher of the par value or 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. As of December 31, 2021, 435,135 shares underlying options and 360,743 shares of restricted stock units were outstanding under the 2015 Plan. In connection with the Consensus separation and pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2007 Plan and the 2015 Plan, the number of shares underlying each stock-based award outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of approximately 1.09 and the related exercise price for the stock options was divided by a factor of approximately 1.09, which was intended to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. Further, the price targets for the Company’s market-based restricted stock awards were reduced by $21.41. These adjustments to the Company’s equity compensation awards did not result in additional compensation expense. Stock based compensation awards that were held by Consensus employees were terminated and replaced with awards issued under the Consensus stock compensation plan (including under the Purchase Plan). Stock-based compensation expense through the Separation date for Consensus employees is included in results from discontinued operations. Stock Options At December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, options to purchase 168,614, 175,601 and 163,741 shares of common stock were exercisable under and outside of the 2015 Plan, at weighted average exercise prices of $67.62, $60.35, $45.94, respectively. Stock options generally expire after 10 years and vest over a 5-year period. All stock option grants are approved by “outside directors” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is summarized as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (In Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding at January 1, 2019 707,777 $ 56.84 Granted — — Exercised (189,436) 32.39 Canceled — — Options outstanding at December 31, 2019 518,341 $ 65.77 Granted — — Exercised (42,740) 23.11 Canceled — — Options outstanding at December 31, 2020 475,601 $ 69.61 Granted — — Exercised (70,776) 41.63 Canceled — — Adjustment due to Consensus Separation (1) 35,749 $ 68.25 Options outstanding at December 31, 2021 440,574 $ 68.45 5.93 $18,683,104 Exercisable at December 31, 2021 168,614 $ 67.62 5.81 $7,290,699 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2021 440,574 $ 68.45 5.93 $18,683,104 (1) As noted above, in connection with the Consensus separation and pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2007 Plan and the 2015 Plan, the number of shares underlying each stock option outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of approximately 1.09 and the related exercise price for the stock options was divided by a factor of approximately 1.09, which was intended to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. The total intrinsic values of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $5.8 million, $3.0 million, and $10.4 million, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Cash received from options exercised under all share-based payment arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2.9 million, $1.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises under the share-based payment arrangements totaled $1.9 million, $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes information concerning outstanding and exercisable options as of December 31, 2021: Options Outstanding Exercisable Options Range of Number Outstanding December 31, 2021 Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Weighted Average Exercise Price Number Exercisable December 31, 2021 Weighted Average Exercise Price $27.15 5,439 0.17 years $ 27.15 5,439 $ 27.15 68.97 435,135 6.00 years 68.97 163,175 68.97 $27.15 - $68.97 440,574 5.93 years $ 68.45 168,614 $ 67.62 At December 31, 2021, there were 1,709,569 additional shares underlying options, shares of restricted stock and other share-based awards available for grant under the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, there was $4.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation options granted under the 2015 Plan. That expense is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of 4.00 years (i.e., the remaining requisite service period). Fair Value Disclosure The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of each option grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company estimates the expected term based upon the historical exercise behavior of its employees. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term equal to the expected term of the option assumed at the date of grant. The Company uses an annualized dividend yield based upon the per share dividends declared by its Board of Directors. Estimated forfeiture rates were 12.4%, 13.0% and 13.9% as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units The Company has awarded restricted stock and restricted stock units to its Board of Directors and senior staff pursuant to certain share-based compensation plans. Compensation expense resulting from restricted stock and restricted unit grants is measured at fair value on the date of grant and is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. Vesting periods are approximately one year for awards to members of the Company’s Board of Directors, four Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units with Market Conditions The Company has awarded certain key employees market-based restricted stock awards pursuant to the 2015 Plan. The market-based awards have vesting conditions that are based on specified stock price targets of the Company’s common stock. Market conditions were factored into the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilized multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified stock price targets with a 20-day and 30-day lookback (trading days). Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 the Company awarded 73,094, 82,112, and 74,051 market-based restricted stock awards, respectively. The per share weighted average grant-date fair values of the market-based restricted stock awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $94.40, $70.99 and $69.99, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of market-based restricted stock awards granted have been estimated utilizing the following assumptions: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Underlying stock price at valuation date $ 113.27 $ 91.17 $ 84.58 Expected volatility 30.3 % 27.0 % 28.3 % Risk-free interest rate 1.3 % 0.7 % 2.5 % Restricted stock award activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is set forth below: Shares Weighted-Average Nonvested at January 1, 2019 1,207,011 $ 64.82 Granted 187,773 79.00 Vested (172,884) 73.65 Canceled (116,841) 72.58 Nonvested at December 31, 2019 1,105,059 $ 64.76 Granted 1,268 98.63 Vested (264,172) 70.25 Canceled (21,589) 79.34 Nonvested at December 31, 2020 820,566 $ 62.66 Granted — — Vested (435,529) 60.52 Canceled (33,194) 83.23 Adjustment due to Consensus Separation (1) 32,120 74.62 Nonvested at December 31, 2021 383,963 $ 41.45 (1) As noted above, in connection with the Consensus separation and pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2007 Plan and the 2015 Plan, the number of shares underlying each restricted stock award outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of approximately 1.09 and the market condition stock price target for marked-based restricted stock awards was also adjusted. Restricted stock unit activity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is set forth below: Number of Weighted-Average Aggregate Outstanding at January 1, 2019 41,231 Granted 3,844 Vested (12,343) Canceled (11,858) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 20,874 Granted 210,630 Vested (9,029) Canceled (12,691) Outstanding at December 31, 2020 209,784 Granted 319,345 Vested (124,761) Canceled (60,201) Adjustment due to Consensus Separation (1) 16,576 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 360,743 2.71 $ 39,991,969 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2021 360,743 2.71 $ 39,991,969 (1) As noted above, in connection with the Consensus separation and pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the 2007 Plan and the 2015 Plan, the number of shares underlying each restricted stock unit outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of approximately 1.09 and the market condition stock price target for marked-based restricted stock units was also adjusted. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had unrecognized share-based compensation cost of $44.3 million associated with these awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.51 for awards and 3.9 for units. The total fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $68.1 million, $18.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from the vesting of restricted stock awards and units totaled $9.5 million, $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Share-based compensation is recognized on dividends paid related to nonvested restricted stock not expected to vest, which amounted to approximately zero, zero and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Purchase Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of two million shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the Purchase Plan, eligible employees can have up to 15% of their earnings withheld, up to certain maximums, to be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at certain plan-defined dates. The price of the Company’s common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan for the offering periods is equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the beginning or the end of the offering period. On February 2, 2018, the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to be effective May 1, 2018, such that (i) the purchase price for each offering period shall be 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of a share of common stock of the Company (a “Share”) on the beginning or the end of the offering period, rather than 95% of the fair market value of a Share at the end of the offering period, and (ii) each offering period will be six months, rather than three months. The Company determined that a plan provision exists which allows for the more favorable of two exercise prices, commonly referred to as a “look-back” feature. The purchase price discount and the look-back feature cause the Purchase Plan to be compensatory and the Company to recognize compensation expense. The compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the estimated fair value of the purchase right issued under the Purchase Plan. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term equal to the expected term of the option assumed at the date of grant. The Company uses an annualized dividend yield based upon the per share dividends declared by its Board of Directors. Estimated forfeiture rates were 11.15%, 11.15% and 5.80% as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The increase in forfeiture rate comes as a result of the Purchase Plan being offered to all employees regardless of employment location. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, 109,248, 118,629 and 66,413 shares, respectively were purchased under the Purchase Plan at price ranging from $72.92 to $97.84 per share during 2021. Cash received upon the issuance of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Plan was $9.2 million, $7.4 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, 1,295,691 shares were available under the Purchase Plan for future issuance. The compensation expense related to the Purchase Plan has been estimated utilizing the following assumptions: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Risk-free interest rate 0.05% 0.73% 2.31% Expected term (in years) 0.5 0.5 0.5 Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 1.02% Expected volatility 35.00% 25.33% 24.63% Weighted average volatility 35.00% 25.33% 24.63%

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company’s businesses are based on the organizational structure used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM views the Company as two businesses: Cybersecurity and Martech and Digital Media. In connection with the spin-off of the cloud fax business, the Company revised its reportable segments to reflect how the CODM views the business for making operating and investment decisions and for assessing performance. Prior to the spin-off, the Company had three reportable segments: (i) Fax and Martech; (ii) Voice, Backup, Security, and Consumer Privacy and Protection; and (iii) Digital Media. Following the spin-off, the Company has two reportable segments: (i) Digital Media and (ii) Cybersecurity and Martech. The Company’s Digital Media business is driven primarily by advertising revenues, has relatively higher sales and marketing expense and has seasonal strength in the fourth quarter. The Company’s Cybersecurity and Martech business is driven primarily by subscription revenues with relatively stable and predictable margins from quarter to quarter. The accounting policies of the businesses are the same as those described in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on revenue, gross margin and profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. Information on reportable segments and reconciliation to consolidated income from continuing operations is as follows (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Revenue by reportable segment: Digital Media $ 1,069,300 $ 811,360 $ 710,511 Cybersecurity and Martech 348,611 347,697 340,245 Elimination of inter-segment revenues (1,189) (229) (300) Total segment revenues 1,416,722 1,158,828 1,050,456 Corporate (1) — 1 8 Total revenues 1,416,722 1,158,829 1,050,464 Gross profit by reportable segment: Digital Media 974,546 733,887 617,458 Cybersecurity and Martech 255,042 246,815 245,966 Elimination of inter-segment gross profit (824) (229) (300) Total segment gross profit 1,228,764 980,473 863,124 Corporate (1) (95) (47) 8 Total gross profit 1,228,669 980,426 863,132 Direct costs by reportable segment (2) : Digital Media 757,053 594,807 540,193 Cybersecurity and Martech 225,740 193,883 187,283 Elimination of inter-segment direct costs (824) (229) (300) Total segment direct costs 981,969 788,461 727,176 Corporate (1) 79,360 53,625 47,733 Total direct costs 1,061,329 842,086 774,909 Operating income by reportable segment: Digital Media operating income 217,493 139,080 77,265 Cybersecurity and Martech operating income 29,302 52,932 58,683 Total segment operating income 246,795 192,012 135,948 Corporate (2) (79,455) (53,672) (47,725) Total income from continuing operations $ 167,340 $ 138,340 $ 88,223 (1) Corporate includes costs associated with general and administrative and other expenses that are managed on a global basis and that are not directly attributable to any particular segment.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions Disclosure	Related Party Transactions Consensus In preparation for and in executing the Separation, the Company incurred approximately $23.3 million (excluding costs associated with the debt exchange noted below) of transaction-related costs, before reimbursement by Consensus. These transaction costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and transaction execution and separation activities within finance, tax and legal functions. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Ziff Davis received or expects to receive approximately $11.7 million (excluding the reimbursement of a portion of the debt exchange noted below) from Consensus resulting in net transaction costs of $11.6 million. These net transaction-related costs were recorded in ‘General and administrative expenses’ component of ‘Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes’ within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Consensus also reimbursed Ziff Davis for certain costs associated with the debt exchange in connection with the Separation totaling $7.5 million, which was recorded as an offset to the loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, Consensus paid the Company approximately $8.5 million subsequent to the Separation due to excess cash held at the Separation date net of other related items pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. In connection with the Separation, Ziff Davis and Consensus entered into several agreements with Consensus that govern the relationship of the parties following the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, an intellectual property license agreement, and a stockholder and registration rights agreement (the “Agreements”). The transition services agreement governs services including certain information technology services, finance and accounting services and human resource and employee benefit services. The agreed-upon charges for such services are generally intended to allow the providing company to recover all costs and expenses of providing such services and is expected to terminate no later than twelve months following the Separation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an offset to expense of approximately $2.1 million from Consensus related to the transition services agreement within ‘General and administrative expenses’ within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, the Company assigned its lease of office space in Los Angeles, California to Consensus. Ziff Davis will remain the lessee under this lease and its obligations remain through October 7, 2022, after which time Consensus will take over the lease in full. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an offset to lease expense of approximately $0.5 million related to this lease, however, Consensus paid the landlord directly and not Ziff Davis. Amounts due from Consensus as of December 31, 2021 was $9.3 million, comprised of $2.1 million related to services provided under the transition services agreement and $7.2 million related to reimbursement of certain transaction related costs and other reimbursements, and is included in within ‘Accounts receivable’ within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. OCV On September 25, 2017, the Board of the Company authorized the Company’s entry into a commitment to invest $200 million in the Fund over several years at a fairly ratable rate. The manager, OCV, and general partner of the Fund are entities with respect to which Richard S. Ressler, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is indirectly the majority equity holder. As a limited partner in the Fund, prior to the settlement of certain litigation generally related to the Company’s investment in the Fund in January 2022, the Company paid an annual management fee to the manager equal to 2.0% (reduced by 10% each year beginning with the sixth year) of capital commitments. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Fund’s limited partnership agreement, once the Company has received distributions equal to its invested capital, the Fund’s general partner will be entitled to a carried interest equal to 20%.

Basis of Presentation and Sum_2

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ziff Davis and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, including judgments about investment classifications and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes that its most significant estimates are those related to revenue recognition, valuation and impairment of investments, its assessment of ownership interests as variable interest entities and the related determination of consolidation, share-based compensation expense, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations, long-lived and intangible asset impairment, contingent consideration, income taxes and contingencies and allowance for doubtful accounts. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Discontinued Operations	The accounting requirements for reporting the Company’s cloud fax business as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the cloud fax business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Ziff Davis did not retain a controlling interest in Consensus. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option and subsequent fair value changes in the Retained Consensus Shares are included in the assets of and results from continuing operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 6 - Discontinued Operations and Dispositions).
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts	Allowances for Doubtful AccountsThe Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status. It also considers customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the adequacy of these reserves.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the Company satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (see Note 3 - Revenues). Principal vs. Agent The Company determines whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis by assessing whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as the principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. In determining whether the Company acts as the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance under Topic 606 for principal-agent considerations and assesses: (i) if another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer and (ii) whether the Company controls the specified goods or services prior to transferring control to the customer. Sales Taxes The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are (i) both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected by the Company from a customer. Digital Media Digital Media revenues are earned primarily from the delivery of advertising services and from subscriptions to services and information. Revenue is earned from the delivery of advertising services on the Company’s owned and operated websites and on those websites that are part of Digital Media’s advertising network. Depending on the individual contracts with the customer, revenue for these services are recognized over the contract period when any of the following performance obligations are satisfied: (i) when an advertisement is placed for viewing; (ii) when a qualified sales lead is delivered; (iii) when a visitor “clicks through” on an advertisement; or (iv) when commissions are earned upon the sale of an advertised product. Revenue from subscriptions is earned through the granting of access to, or delivery of, data products or services to customers. Subscriptions cover video games and related content, health information, data and other copyrighted material. Revenues under such agreements are recognized over the contract term for use of the service. Revenues are also earned from listing fees, subscriptions to online publications, and from other sources. Subscription revenues are recognized over time. The Company generates Digital Media revenues through the license of certain assets to clients. Assets are licensed for clients’ use in their own promotional materials or otherwise. Such assets may include logos, editorial reviews, or other copyrighted material. Revenues under such license agreements are recognized over the contract term for use of the asset. Technology assets are also licensed to clients. These assets are recognized over the term of the access period. The Digital Media business also generates revenue from other sources which include marketing and production services. Such other revenues are generally recognized over the period in which the products or services are delivered. The Company also generates Digital Media revenues from transactions involving the sale of perpetual software licenses, related software support and maintenance, hardware used in conjunction with its software, and other related services. Revenue is recognized for these software transactions with multiple performance obligations after (i) the Company has had an approved contract and is committed to perform the respective obligations and (ii) the Company can identify and quantify each obligation and its respective selling price. Once the respective performance obligations have been identified and quantified, revenue will be recognized when the obligations are met, either over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the obligation. Revenues from software license performance obligations are generally recognized upfront at the point in time that the software is made available to the customer to download and use. Revenues for related software support and maintenance performance obligations are related to technical support provided to customers as needed and unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance releases and patches during the term of the support period when they are available. The Company is obligated to make the support services available continuously throughout the contract period. Therefore, revenues for support contracts are generally recognized ratably over the contractual period the support services are provided. Hardware product and related software performance obligations, such as an operating system or firmware, are highly interdependent and interrelated and are accounted for as a bundled performance obligation. The revenues for this bundled performance obligation are generally recognized at the point in time that the hardware and software products are delivered and ownership is transferred to the customer. Other service revenues are generally recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company records revenue on a gross basis with respect to revenue generated (i) by the Company serving online display and video advertising across its owned and operated web properties, on third-party sites or on unaffiliated advertising networks; (ii) through the Company’s lead-generation business; and (iii) through the Company’s subscriptions. The Company records revenue on a net basis with respect to revenue paid to the Company by certain third-party advertising networks who serve online display and video advertising across the Company’s owned-and-operated web properties and certain third-party sites. Cybersecurity and Martech The Company’s Cybersecurity and Martech revenues substantially consist of recurring subscription and usage-based fees, which are primarily paid in advance by credit card. The Company defers the portions of monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually recurring subscription and usage-based fees collected in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and recognizes them in the period earned. Along with its numerous proprietary Cybersecurity and Martech solutions, the Company also generates revenues by reselling various third-party solutions, primarily through its email security line of business. These third-party solutions, along with the Company’s proprietary products, allow it to offer customers a variety of solutions to better meet the customer’s needs. The Company records revenue on a gross basis with respect to reseller revenue because the Company has control of the specified good or service prior to transferring control to the customer. Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, revenues are allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company satisfies its performance obligations within the Digital Media business upon delivery of services to its customers. In addition, the Company provides content to its advertising partners which the Company sells to its partners’ customer base and receives a revenue share based on the terms of the agreement. The Company satisfies its performance obligations within the Cybersecurity and Martech business upon delivery of services to its customers. Payment terms vary by type and location of our customers and the services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Due to the nature of the services provided, there are no obligations for returns. Significant Judgments Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time The Company’s Digital Media business consists primarily of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This was determined based on a review of the contracts and the nature of the services offered, where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services provided. Satisfaction of these performance obligations is evidenced in the following ways: Advertising • Website reporting by the Company, the customer, or a third-party contains the delivery evidence needed to satisfy the performance obligations within the advertising contract • Successfully delivered leads are evidenced by either delivery reports from the Company’s internal lead management systems or through e-mail communication and/or other evidence of delivery showing acceptance of leads by the customer • Commission is evidenced by direct site reporting from the affiliate or via direct confirmation from the customer Subscription and Licensing • Evidence of delivery is contained in the Company’s systems or from correspondence with the customer which tracks when a customer accepts delivery of any assets, digital keys or download links The Company has concluded revenue is recognized based on delivery of services over the contract period for advertising and on a straight-line basis over the contract period for subscriptions. The Company believes that the methods described are a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. The Company’s Cybersecurity and Martech business consists primarily of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This has been determined based on the fact that the nature of services offered are subscription based where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services provided regardless of whether the customer uses the services or not. Depending on the individual contracts with the customer, revenue for these services are recognized over the contract period when any of the following materially distinct performance obligations are satisfied: • Faxing capabilities are provided (included in discontinued operations through October 7, 2021) • Voice, email marketing and search engine optimization as services are delivered • Consumer privacy services and data backup capabilities are provided • Security solutions, including email and endpoint are provided The Company has concluded that the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation over time is a time-based measure. The Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the subscription period and believes that the method used is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time The Company’s Digital Media business has technology subscriptions that have standalone functionality. As a result, they are considered to be functional intellectual property where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This is evidenced once a digital key is delivered to the customer. Once the key is delivered to the customer, the customer has full control of the technology and the Company has no further performance obligations. The Company has concluded that revenue is recognized once the digital key is delivered. The Company believes that this method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services. Practical Expedients Existence of a Significant Financing Component in a Contract As a practical expedient, the Company has not assessed whether a contract has a significant financing component because the Company expects at contract inception that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of promised goods or services by the Company to the customer will be one year or less. In addition, the Company has determined that the payment terms that the Company provides to its customers are structured primarily for reasons other than the provision of finance to the Company. The Company typically charges a single upfront amount for the services because other payment terms would affect the nature of the risk assumed by the Company to provide service given the costs of the customer acquisition and the highly competitive and commoditized nature of the business we operate which allows customers to easily move from one provider to another. This additional risk may make it uneconomical to provide the service. Costs to Fulfill a Contract The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from customer contracts that are for one year or less. Costs primarily consist of incentive compensation paid based on the achievements of sales targets in a given period for related revenue streams and are recognized in the month when the revenue is earned. Incentive compensation is paid on the issuance or renewal of the customer contract. As a practical expedient, for amortization periods which are determined to be one year or less, the Company expenses any incremental costs of obtaining the contract with a customer when incurred. For those customers with amortization periods determined to be greater than one year, the Company capitalizes and amortizes the expenses over the period of benefit. In addition, the Company partners with various affiliates in order to generate a portion of its revenue for certain lines of business. The commissions earned by the Company’s affiliates are incentive based and are paid on the acquisition of new customers in a given period. For those customers with amortization periods determined to be greater than one year, the Company capitalizes and amortizes the expenses over the period of benefit. Revenues Invoiced The Company has applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), in measuring fair value and in disclosing fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, interest payable, customer deposits and long-term debt are reflected in the financial statements at cost. With the exception of certain investments and long-term debt, cost approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt was determined using the quoted market prices of debt instruments with similar terms and maturities when available. As of the same dates, the carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximated fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and with maturities of three months or less at the purchase date.
Investments	Investments The Company accounts for its investments in debt securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 320, Investments - Debt Securities (“ASC 320”). The Company’s debt investments are typically comprised of corporate debt securities, which it classifies as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. All debt securities are accounted for on a specific identification basis. The Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are carried at an estimated fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Available-for-sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in loss on investments, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 321, Investments - Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) which requires the accounting for equity investments (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) generally be measured at fair value for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value that are not accounted for by the equity method, the Company measures the equity security using cost, less impairment, if any, and plus or minus observable price changes arising from orderly transactions in the same or similar investment from the same issuer. Any unrealized gains or losses is reported in current earnings (see Note 5 - Investments). The Company assesses whether an other-than-temporary impairment loss on an investment has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions (see Note 5 - Investments). Investments classified as short-term are available to be converted into cash to fund current operations. The Retained Consensus Shares are equity securities accounted for at fair value under the fair value option, and the related fair value gains and losses are recognized in earnings. As the initial carrying value of the Retained Consensus Shares was negative immediately following the Separation, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10-25 to support the initial recognition of the Retained Consensus Shares at fair value and the negative book value of $69.3 million was recorded as a gain on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of Consensus common stock is readily available as Consensus is a publicly traded company.
Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)	Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”s) A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its investments in entities in which it is involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in its investment as a limited partner in the OCV Fund I, LP (“OCV Fund”, “OCV” or the “Fund”). In determining whether the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, both of the following characteristics must be present: a) the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the VIEs economic performance (the power criterion); and b) the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE, or the right to receive benefits of the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the economic criterion). The Company has concluded that, as a limited partner, although the obligations to absorb losses or the right to benefit from the gains is not insignificant, the Company does not have “power” over OCV because it does not have the ability to direct the significant decisions which impact the economics of OCV. The Company believes that the OCV general partner, as a single decision maker, holds the ability to make the decisions about the activities that most significantly impact the OCV Fund’s economic performance. As a result, the Company has concluded that it will not consolidate OCV, as it is not the primary beneficiary of the OCV Fund, and will account for this investment under the equity-method of accounting (see Note 5 - Investments). OCV qualifies as an investment company under ASC 946 - Financial Services, Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). Under ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, an investor that holds investments that qualify for specialized industry accounting for investment companies in accordance with ASC 946 should record its share of the earnings or losses, realized or unrealized, as reported by its equity method investees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognizes its equity in the net earnings or losses relating to the investment in OCV on a one-quarter lag due to the timing and availability of financial information from OCV. If the Company becomes aware of a significant decline in value that is other-than-temporary, the loss will be recorded in the period in which the Company identifies the decline.
Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount	Debt Issuance Costs and Debt DiscountThe Company capitalizes costs incurred with borrowing and issuance of debt securities and records debt issuance costs and discounts as a reduction to the debt amount. These costs and discounts are amortized and included in interest expense over the life of the borrowing using the effective interest method.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit RiskAll of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested at major financial institutions primarily within the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland. These institutions are required to invest the Company’s cash in accordance with the Company’s investment policy with the principal objectives being preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and above market returns commensurate with preservation of capital. The Company’s investment policy also requires that investments in marketable securities be in only highly rated instruments, with limitations on investing in securities of any single issuer. However, these investments are not insured against the possibility of a total or near complete loss of earnings or principal and are inherently subject to the credit risk related to the continued credit worthiness of the underlying issuer and general credit market risks.
Foreign Currency	Foreign CurrencyMost of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars at average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss).
Property and Equipment	Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under a finance lease is stated at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and is recorded in cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from one one
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets	Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives (subject to amortization), in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected undiscounted future net cash flows generated by the asset. If it is determined that the asset may not be recoverable, and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable definite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors it considers important which could individually or in combination trigger an impairment include the following: • Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; • Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; • Significant negative industry or economic trends; • Significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and • The Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value. If the Company determined that the carrying value of definite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, it would record an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. The Company assessed whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate the carrying amount of definite-lived assets may not be recoverable. In the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairments of certain operating right-of-use assets and associated property and equipment (see Note 11 - Leases). No impairment was recorded in fiscal year 2019.
Business Combinations and Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Business Combinations and Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible AssetsThe Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with GAAP and uses estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price paid for acquisitions to the fair value of the assets, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Such estimates may be based on significant unobservable inputs and assumptions such as, but not limited to, future revenue growth rates, gross and operating margins, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates and terminal growth rate assumptions. The Company uses established valuation techniques and may engage reputable valuation specialists to assist with the valuations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of an acquisition as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of purchased customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technologies and other intangible assets. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over the period of estimated economic benefit ranging from one
Contingent Consideration	Contingent Consideration Certain of the Company’s acquisition agreements include contingent earn-out arrangements, which are generally based on the achievement of future income thresholds or other metrics. The contingent earn-out arrangements are based upon the Company’s valuations of the acquired companies and reduce the risk of overpaying for acquisitions if the projected financial results are not achieved. The fair values of these earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. For each transaction, the Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company considers several factors when determining that contingent earn-out liabilities are part of the purchase price, including the following: (1) the valuation of our acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (2) the former shareholders of acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of the Company’s other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company measures its contingent earn-out liabilities in connection with acquisitions at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements). The Company may use various valuation techniques depending on the terms and conditions of the contingent consideration including a Monte-Carlo simulation. This simulation uses a probability distribution for each significant input to produce hundreds or thousands of possible outcomes and the results are analyzed to determine probabilities of different outcomes occurring. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earn-out obligation. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any amount paid in excess of the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in operating activities. The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could be materially different from the initial estimates or prior amounts. Changes in the estimated fair value of its contingent earn-out liabilities and adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Self-Insurance Program	Self-Insurance ProgramThe Company provides health and dental insurance plans to certain of its employees through a self-insurance structure. The Company has secured reinsurance in the form of a two tiered stop-loss coverage that limits the exposure arising from any claims made. Self-insurance claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based on management’s estimate of the discounted ultimate costs for self-insured claims incurred using actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical experience. Although management believes it has the ability to reasonably estimate losses related to claims, it is possible that actual results could differ from recorded self-insurance liabilities.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s income is subject to taxation in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves for tax contingencies are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or lapse of a statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly based upon the facts and circumstances known at the time. In assessing this valuation allowance, the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable. ASC 740 provides guidance on the minimum threshold that an uncertain income tax benefit is required to meet before it can be recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions taken by a company. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit will be recorded. Uncertain income tax positions that relate only to timing of when an item is included on a tax return are considered to have met the recognition threshold. The Company recognized accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense on its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based CompensationThe Company accounts for share-based awards to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Accordingly, the Company measures share-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense over the employee’s requisite service period using the straight-line method. The measurement of share-based compensation expense is based on several criteria, including but not limited to the valuation model used and associated input factors, such as expected term of the award, stock price volatility, risk free interest rate, dividend rate and award cancellation rate. These inputs are subjective and are determined using management’s judgment. If differences arise between the assumptions used in determining share-based compensation expense and the actual factors, which become known over time, the Company may change the input factors used in determining future share-based compensation expense. Any such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the changes are made and in periods thereafter. The Company estimates the expected term based upon the historical exercise behavior of its employees.
Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”)	Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”) EPS is calculated pursuant to the two-class method as defined in ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), which specifies that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and should be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders, excluding participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The Company’s participating securities consist of its unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the impact of other potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of participating securities is calculated under the more dilutive of either the treasury method or the two-class method.
Research, Development and Engineering	Research, Development and EngineeringResearch, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for software development incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, in the form of a working model, are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in their annual consolidated financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s business segments are based on the organization structure used by the chief operating decision maker for making operating and investment decisions and for assessing performance. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company changed its segment reporting as a result of the spin-off of its cloud fax business. The Company has two reportable segments: (i) Digital Media and (ii) Cybersecurity and Martech. While this reporting change did not impact the Company's consolidated results, segment data has been recast to be consistent for all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 18 - Segment Information.
Advertising Costs	Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021 and has identified no material effect on its financial statements or disclosures. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investment - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this ASU clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options under Topic 815. This ASU identifies two main areas for improvement: (1) accounting for certain equity securities upon the application or discontinuation of the equity method of accounting and (2) scope considerations for forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The amendment states, as it is related to the first area of improvement, that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendment also states, as it is relates to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities, an entity should consider certain criteria to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021 and has identified no material effect on its financial statements or disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. LIBOR is expected to phased out by 2021. The amendments in this ASU are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on its financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this ASU reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock in order to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and reduce complexity. In addition, it amends the guidance for scope exception surrounding derivatives for contracts in an entity’s own equity. In each case, the related guidance surrounding EPS has also been amended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU improve the consistency of the codification and reorganize the guidance into appropriate sections providing less opportunities for disclosures to be missed. The amendments in this update do not change GAAP and are not expected to result in a significant change in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021 and has identified no effect on its financial statements or disclosures. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope of ASC 848 to include derivatives that are affected by a change in the interest rate used for discounting, margining, or contract price alignment that do not also reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. Similar to ASU 2020-04, the guidance is effective for all entities immediately upon issuance on January 7, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021 and has identified no effect on its financial statements or disclosures.
