THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As used herein, “IAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
On July 31, 2025, Dotdash Meredith Inc. was rebranded “People Inc.” and is referred to as such throughout this report (unless the context requires otherwise). Dotdash Meredith Inc. remains the entity’s legal name.
Nature of Operations
IAC today is comprised of category leading businesses, including People Inc. and Care.com, among others, and holds strategic equity positions in MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) and Turo Inc. (“Turo”).
Angi Inc. Spin-Off
On March 31, 2025, IAC completed the spin-off of Angi Inc. (“Angi”) by means of a special dividend (the “Distribution”) of all shares of Angi capital stock held by IAC to holders of its common stock and Class B common stock. As a result of the Distribution, IAC no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent public company. As a result of the Distribution, the operations of Angi are presented as discontinued operations within IAC’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 31, 2025. See “Note 12—Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (referred to herein as “financial statements”) in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements include all 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 entities comprising the Company have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on June 12, 2025.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions, if applicable, during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, if applicable, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents and marketable equity securities; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the recoverability of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”); the useful lives and recoverability of buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; the fair value of interest rate swaps; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and liabilities, including actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, inflation and healthcare costs; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
General Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all authorized parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in “Note 5—Segment Information.”
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money.
In addition, as permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is tied to sales-based or usage-based royalties, allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations, or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
The Company also applies the practical expedient to expense commissions paid pursuant to sales incentive programs as incurred where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less.
The following table presents the changes in deferred revenue:

Certain Risks and Concentrations
Services Agreement with Google
On January 20, 2025, the Company entered into a further amendment to its Services Agreement (the “Amendment”), with the amended terms effective on April 1, 2025.

Further, changes to certain of the economic terms of the Services Agreement became effective April 1, 2025 and could impact Search revenue.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue earned from Google was $81.5 million and $272.4 million, respectively, representing 14% and 16% , respectively, of the Company’s revenue.
