SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. See “ Note 14—Related Party Transactions with IAC ” for information on transactions between Angi and IAC. Segment Changes As a result of management’s continued assessments of reporting structure, there was a decision in the fourth quarter of 2022 to refine segments to more effectively measure the businesses’ performance. Management has identified four reportable segments with discrete financial results to appropriately match operating costs to the revenues generated for these businesses (Ads & Leads, Services, Roofing and International). Our financial information for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. COVID-19 Update The COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Recently, there has been a return to more normal societal interactions, including the way we operate our business. We cannot predict the future impacts of this ongoing and any new pandemic(s). Accounting Estimates Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the carrying value of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”); the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and capitalized software, leasehold improvements, and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets, and other factors that the Company considers relevant. Revenue Recognition The Company’s disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in “ Note 11—Segment Information .” The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to our customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. Ads and Leads Revenue Primarily reflects domestic ads and leads revenue, including consumer connection revenue for consumer matches, revenue from service professionals under contract for advertising and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors, including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Consumer connection revenue is generally billed one week following a consumer match, with payment due upon receipt of invoice. The Company maintains a liability for potential credits issued to services providers. Revenue is also derived from (i) sales of time-based website, mobile and call center advertising to service professionals, (ii) service professional membership subscription fees, (iii) membership subscription fees from consumers, and (iv) other services. Angi service professionals generally pay for advertisements in advance on a monthly or annual basis at the option of the service professional, with the average advertising contract term being approximately one year. Angi website, mobile and call center advertising revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Revenue from the sale of advertising in the Angie’s List Magazine is recognized in the period in which the publication is distributed. Service professional membership subscription revenue is initially deferred upon receipt of payment and is recognized using the straight-line method over the applicable subscription period, which is typically one year. Angi prepaid consumer membership subscription fees are recognized as revenue using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period, which is typically one year. Services Revenue Primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through Services platforms and we engage a service professional to perform the service. Consumers are billed when a job is scheduled through the Services platform. Billing practices are governed by the contract terms of each project as negotiated with the consumer. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized over time as this is based on the timing of when the consumer receives the promised services. From January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, Angi Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, Angi Inc. modified the Services terms and conditions so that the service professional, rather than Angi, Inc., has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the service professional. This change in contractual terms requires net revenue accounting treatment effective January 1, 2023. There is no impact to operating income or Adjusted EBITDA. Roofing Revenue Primarily reflects revenue from the roof replacement business offering by which the consumer purchases services directly from the Roofing business, which was acquired on July 1, 2021, and we then engage a service professional to perform the service. Consumers typically pay when a job is completed and revenue is recognized based on the Company’s progress in satisfying the roofing service. International Revenue Primarily reflects revenue generated within the International segment (comprised of businesses in Europe and Canada), including consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers. Transaction Price The objective of determining the transaction price is to estimate the amount of consideration the Company is due in exchange for its services or goods, including amounts that are variable. Contracts may include sales incentives, such as rebates, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the transaction price. The Company also maintains a liability for potential future refunds and customer credits, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue. All estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and customer trends. The Company determines the total transaction price, including an estimate of any variable consideration, at contract inception and reassesses this estimate each reporting period. The Company excludes from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers. Accordingly, such tax amounts are not included as a component of net revenue or cost of revenue. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under ASC 606, applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable or based on an estimate if not directly observable. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company has determined that certain costs, primarily commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract. Capitalized sales commissions are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period. The Company calculates the estimated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. The following table provides information about our contract asset balances at the balance sheet dates. Classification December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In thousands) Contract Assets Other current assets $ 37,220 $ 37,971 Other non-current assets $ 1,904 $ 1,109 During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized expense of $77.4 million and $84.7 million, respectively, related to the amortization of these costs. Performance Obligations As permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which we have the right to invoice for services performed. Accounts Receivables, Net of the Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The allowance for credit loss is based upon a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the specific customer’s ability to pay its obligation. The time between the Company’s issuance of an invoice and payment due date is not significant; customer payments that are not collected in advance of the transfer of promised services or goods are generally due no later than 30 days from invoice date. Credit Losses The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In thousands) Balance at January 1 $ 33,652 $ 26,046 Current period provision for credit losses 108,151 88,076 Write-offs charged against the allowance for credit loss (103,985) (82,911) Recoveries collected 5,342 2,441 Balance at December 31 $ 43,160 $ 33,652 Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of advance payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company’s performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $53.4 million and $54.5 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current deferred revenue balances are $50.9 million and $53.8 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The non-current deferred revenue balances are $0.1 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments, with maturities of less than 91 days from the date of purchase. Domestically, cash equivalents consist of AAA rated government money market funds, treasury discount notes, and time deposits. Internationally, there are no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Investments in Marketable Debt Securities The Company invests in marketable debt securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. Marketable debt securities are adjusted to fair value each quarter, and the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of debt securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings. The Company reviews its debt securities for impairment, including from risk of credit loss, each reporting period. The Company recognizes an unrealized loss on debt securities in net loss when the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors the Company considers in making such determination include the duration, severity and reason for the decline in value and the potential recovery and our intent to sell the debt security. The Company also considers whether it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and whether the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered because of credit losses. If an impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the debt security will be written down to its fair value and the loss will be recognized within other income (expense), net. The Company held no marketable debt securities at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Capitalized Software, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment Capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter. Asset Category Estimated Capitalized software and computer equipment 2 to 3 Years Furniture and other equipment 5 to 7 Years Leasehold improvements 5 to 25 Years The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the software and compensation for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The net book value of capitalized internal use software was $128.6 million and $86.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Business Combinations The purchase price of each acquisition is attributed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets that either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company usually uses the assistance of outside valuation experts to assist in the allocation of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets acquired. While outside valuation experts may be used, management has ultimate responsibility for the valuation methods, models and inputs used and the resulting purchase price allocation. The excess purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is recorded as goodwill and is assigned to the reporting unit(s) that is expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset has declined below its carrying value. At October 1, 2022, the Company has four reporting units: Ads and Leads, Services, Roofing and International. When the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit’s goodwill is necessary; otherwise, a quantitative assessment is performed and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value an impairment equal to the excess is recorded. In the fourth quarter of 2022, our segment presentation was changed to reflect our four new operating segments, which now include (i) Ads and Leads, (ii) Services, (iii) Roofing and (iv) International (includes Europe and Canada). Goodwill was allocated to reflect the new segment presentation. The allocation of goodwill to Roofing and Canada reflects their respective historical carrying values because of the lack of operational integration with Angi North America; the allocation of the remaining goodwill to Ads and Leads and Services was based upon their relative fair values as of October 1, 2022. For the Company’s annual goodwill test at October 1, 2022, as a result of the significant changes in the operating segments and reporting units, we elected to perform a quantitative assessment of the reporting units’ goodwill first, instead of performing a qualitative assessment. The quantitative test for the reporting units of Ads & Leads, Services and International included use of both an income approach based on discounted cash flows (“DCF”) and a market approach. The quantitative test for the reporting unit of Roofing only included an income approach based on DCF as there were no relevant publicly traded company comparables to perform a market approach. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses are based on the Company’s most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting units. Assumptions used in the DCF analyses, including the discount rate, are assessed based on the reporting units' current results and forecasted future performance, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rate used in determining the fair value of the Company’s Ads & Leads, Services, Roofing and International reporting units was 12%, 15%, 16% and 18.5%, respectively for 2022 and 15.0% for the International reporting unit in 2021. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. To determine a peer group of companies for our respective reporting units, we considered companies relevant in terms of consumer use, monetization model, margin and growth characteristics, and brand strength operating in their respective sectors. As a result of the valuation process, we determined that the fair value of the Ads & Leads, Services and International reporting units exceeded the carrying value and thus there was no impairment of goodwill in 2022. The fair value based on the valuation exceeded the carrying value of the Ads & Leads, Services, and International reporting units by $1.3 billion, $40 million, and $143 million. For the Roofing reporting unit, we determined the carrying value exceeded the fair value, resulting in an impairment being recorded to goodwill totaling $26 million in 2022. While the Company has the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying values, the Company’s policy is to determine the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1, in part, because the level of effort required to perform the quantitative and qualitative assessments is essentially equivalent. The Company determines the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using an avoided royalty DCF valuation analysis. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses are based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company’s trade names and trademarks. Assumptions used in the avoided royalty DCF analyses, including the discount rate and royalty rate, are assessed annually based on the actual and projected cash flows related to the asset, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company’s annual indefinite-lived impairment assessment ranged from 12.0% to 18.5% in 2022 and 11.1% to 15.0% in 2021, and the royalty rates used ranged from 2.0% to 4.5% in 2022 and 2.0% to 5.0% in 2021. The 2022, 2021 and 2020 annual assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets identified no impairments. Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives Long-lived assets, which consist of ROU assets, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed either on a straight-line basis or based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the asset will be realized. Fair Value Measurements The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: • Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets, capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. Warranty Costs As part of certain of our revenue arrangements, we include warranties providing customers with assurance on the quality of the services provided. Under our warranties, we incur costs to ensure the services performed are up to the customers standard and/or to reimburse for any claim for damages submitted in accordance with our warranty terms and conditions. These costs are recorded in the period the associated revenue is recognized as a component of cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, offline marketing, which is primarily television advertising and partner-related payments to those who direct traffic to our platforms. Advertising expense was $561.5 million, $556.4 million and $487.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Legal Costs Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes The Company is included within IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings. In all periods presented, the income tax provision and/or benefit has been computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from IAC for the Company’s share of IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, for uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company elects to recognize the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. The Company evaluates and accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. Recognition (step one) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustainable upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when the Company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to Angi Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock appreciation rights, stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses The financial position and operating results of foreign entities whose primary economic environment is based on their local currency are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. These local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses of these operations are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as a component of other income (expense), net. Translation gains and losses relating to foreign entities that are liquidated or substantially liquidated are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. See “ Note 10—Stock‑based Compensation ” for a discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are ordinarily reported on the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders’ equity, separately from the Company’s equity. However, securities that are redeemable at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer must be classified outside of shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, all noncontrolling interests that are redeemable at the option of the holder are presented outside of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, management of these businesses has retained an ownership interest. The Company is party to fair value put and call arrangements with respect to these interests. These put and call arrangements allow management of these businesses to require the Company to purchase their interests or allow the Company to acquire such interests at fair value, respectively. The put arrangements do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument as the put agreements do not provide for net settlement. These put and call arrangements become exercisable by the Company and the counter-party at various dates. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the remaining redeemable non-controlling interest was exercised. One of these arrangements was exercised during the year ended December 31, 2020. Because these put arrangements are exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of the Company, to the extent that the fair value of these interests exceeds the value determined by normal noncontrolling interest accounting, the value of such interests is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded adjustments of $28.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to increase these interests to fair value. Fair value determinations require high levels of judgment and are based on various valuation techniques, including market comparables and discounted cash flow projections. Certain Risks and Concentrations The Company’s business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on third-party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of c |
