EXPLANATORY NOTE

        The Registrant hereby amends in its entirety Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 4. Controls and Procedures contained in IAC/InterActiveCorp's (the "Company") Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011 (the "Original Form 10-Q"), as described below. On January 27, 2012, management and the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that an error existed in the Company's previously issued financial statements relating to accounting for a deferred income tax liability that requires correction. During 2011, the Company undertook an analysis of the tax basis of certain businesses in connection with a review of its organizational structure. As a result of this review, the Company determined that the original deferred income tax provision recorded in 2002 in connection with a series of transactions, which included the exchange of certain of the Company's media businesses for certain other assets, was incorrectly calculated and incorrectly allocated to a former subsidiary. The correction of these errors as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 increased non-current deferred income tax liabilities and reduced shareholders' equity by $380.9 million. There is also a reclassification of non-current deferred income tax assets of $79.4 million and $110.5 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is required because non-current deferred income tax assets and liabilities of the same tax jurisdiction must be presented on the consolidated balance sheet on a net basis. Correcting these errors has no impact on the Company's consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows.

        This Amendment reflects the changes described above. No other information included in the Original Form 10-Q has been amended by this Form 10-Q/A to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

        IAC is a leading internet company with more than 50 brands serving consumer audiences across more than 30 countries...our mission is to harness the power of interactivity to make daily life easier and more productive for people all over the world. IAC includes the businesses comprising its Search segment; its Match and ServiceMagic segments; the businesses comprising its Media & Other segment; as well as investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

        All references to "IAC," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" in this report are to IAC/InterActiveCorp.

Basis of Presentation

        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, whether through voting interests or variable interests. The Company's consolidated financial statements include one variable interest entity, in which the Company has a controlling financial interest through voting rights and is also the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 have been reclassified to present Evite, Gifts.com, IAC Advertising Solutions and InstantAction, all of which were previously reported in IAC's Media & Other segment, as discontinued operations. In addition, certain other prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to the fair values of marketable securities and other investments, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and other revenue related allowances, the reserves for income tax contingencies and the valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets and the fair value of 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.

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

        We have restated our consolidated financial statements as described in Note 14—RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

        A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in customer buying behavior or advertiser spending behavior could adversely affect our operating results. A significant majority of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a paid listing supply agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"), which expires on March 31, 2016. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue earned from Google was $221.3 million and $436.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, revenue earned from Google was $174.1 million and $345.7 million, respectively. The majority of this revenue was earned by the businesses comprising the Search segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $75.3 million at June 30, 2011 and $70.5 million at December 31, 2010.

        The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. The amount of unrealized gains, net of tax, reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The amount of unrealized gains, net of tax, reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were less than $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 3—INCOME TAXES

        At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

        The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or our tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision for the quarter in which the change occurs. Included in the income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is a benefit of $0.7 million due to a lower estimated annual effective tax rate from that applied to the first quarter's ordinary income from continuing operations.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $9.5 million and $25.6 million, respectively, which represent effective tax

NOTE 3—INCOME TAXES (Continued)

rates of 17% and 28%, respectively. The tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to the reduction in state tax accruals resulting from income tax provision to tax return reconciliations and the expiration of statutes of limitations and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by interest on tax contingencies and state taxes.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $5.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 26% and 93%, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign tax credits, partially offset by interest on tax contingencies and state taxes. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset created by the impairment charge for our investment in The HealthCentral Network, Inc. ("HealthCentral"), interest on tax contingencies and state taxes, partially offset by foreign tax credits.

        At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $473.3 million and $487.6 million, respectively. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011, $460.1 million is included in "non-current income taxes payable," $12.3 million relates to deferred tax assets included in "other non-current assets" and $0.8 million is included in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities." Included in unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 is $94.9 million relating to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. If unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 are subsequently recognized, $95.1 million and $210.7 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. In addition, a continuing operations income tax provision of $4.3 million would be required upon the subsequent recognition of unrecognized tax benefits for an increase in the Company's valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets.

        The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is a $1.5 million benefit and a $1.9 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is a $0.6 million expense and a $3.3 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $0.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $104.2 million and $97.7 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $4.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for penalties.

        The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its review of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2006. The settlement has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. The IRS began its review of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009 in July 2011. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2007 has currently been extended to December 31, 2012. Various state and local jurisdictions are currently under

examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2003. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $57.0 million within twelve months of the current reporting date, of which approximately $10.9 million could decrease income tax provision, primarily due to settlements, expirations of statutes of limitations, and the reversal of deductible temporary differences that will primarily result in a corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

NOTE 4—BUSINESS COMBINATION

        On January 20, 2011, Match acquired OkCupid for $50.0 million in cash, plus potential additional consideration of up to $40.0 million that was contingent upon OkCupid's 2011 earnings performance. During the second quarter of 2011, the provisions of this contingent consideration arrangement were amended. Pursuant to the amendment, $30.0 million was paid to the former owners, and a potential additional payment of up to $10.0 million is contingent upon revised performance goals. The fair value of the contingent consideration at June 30, 2011 is $10.0 million and is included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using its judgment of the likelihood of achieving the revised performance goals, which incorporates significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE 6—FUNDS HELD IN ESCROW FOR MEETIC TENDER OFFER

        On July 8, 2011, IAC launched its previously announced tender offer for the 73% of Meetic that it does not own at a price per share of €15.00. The initial phase of the tender offer will close on August 29, 2011 and the second phase of the tender offer will close on September 19, 2011. In connection with the tender offer, IAC was obligated to place sufficient funds in escrow to purchase 100% of the shares that it does not own or $360.6 million. These funds are classified as a non-current asset as their expected use is to acquire a non-current asset. At the conclusion of the tender process, any unused funds will be returned to IAC.

        There are no gains or losses included in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, relating to the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs.

Auction rate securities

        The Company's auction rate securities ("ARS") are valued by discounting the estimated future cash flow streams of the securities over the lives of the securities. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing fair value. During the first quarter of 2011, one of the ARS was redeemed at its par value of $5.0 million. The cost basis of ARS is $10.0 million and $15.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, with gross unrealized losses of $1.3 million and $1.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unrealized losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2011, the remaining auction rate security is rated A/WR and matures in 2035. Due to its high credit rating and because the Company does not intend to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the auction rate security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.

Contingent consideration arrangement

        See Note 4 for information regarding the contingent consideration arrangement.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

        The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are measured at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

        During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an $18.3 million impairment charge to write-down its investment in HealthCentral to fair value. The decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary due to HealthCentral's continued losses and negative operating cash flows. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in HealthCentral using a multiple of revenue approach. The impairment charge is included within "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

        The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The funds held in escrow for the Meetic tender offer consist of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of notes receivable is based on discounting the expected future cash flow streams using yields of the underlying credit. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using quoted market prices or indices for similar liabilities and taking into consideration other factors such as credit quality and maturity. The fair value of the letters of credit and surety bond are based on the present value of the costs associated with maintaining these instruments over their expected term. See Note 5 for discussion of the fair value of marketable securities, Note 7 for discussion of the fair value of the auction rate securities and Note 4 for discussion of the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement.

        The Company has guaranteed $5.0 million of The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company's $10.0 million line of credit. At June 30, 2011, $10.0 million had been drawn on this line of credit. The carrying value and fair value of this guarantee represents the amount the Company expects to pay to settle this obligation.

        At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying values of the Company's investments accounted for under the cost method totaled $6.9 million and $39.0 million, respectively, and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. IAC's investment in The Active Network, Inc., which was previously accounted for under the cost method, became an investment measured at fair value during the second quarter of 2011. The cost basis of this long-term

marketable equity security was $33.4 million at June 30, 2011, with a gross unrealized gain of $47.5 million included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates each cost method investment for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

(a)
If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 1.2 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, approximately 22.1 million and 22.6 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(b)
There are no performance-based stock units ("PSUs") included in the denominator for earnings per share as the performance conditions have not been met for the respective reporting periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 3.3 million PSUs are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, approximately 1.9 million PSUs are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

        The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (5) one-time items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-U.S. GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable U.S. GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-U.S. GAAP measure.

NOTE 11—CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See Note 3 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 12—SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

        During 2010, IAC received a dividend from Meetic, which the Company deemed to be a partial return of its investment. Accordingly, the dividend is reflected as a cash flow from an investing activity in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. IAC's share of the dividend was $11.4 million in total. IAC received $8.8 million of the dividend in June 2010 and the balance in July 2010.

NOTE 12—SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION (Continued)

Non-Cash Transactions for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

        On February 8, 2011, in connection with the tax-free exchange with Liberty Media Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company received 0.1 million shares of IAC common stock, valued at $2.9 million, in fulfillment of post-closing working capital adjustments.

        On January 31, 2011, IAC contributed The Daily Beast, previously reported in IAC's Media & Other segment, to a newly formed venture with Harman Newsweek called The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company. Pursuant to this transaction, IAC and Harman Newsweek operate The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company jointly. IAC accounts for its interest in The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company under the equity method.

        The consideration for the acquisition of OkCupid on January 20, 2011 includes a contingent consideration arrangement which is described in Note 4.

Non-Cash Transactions for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

        On March 10, 2010, Match and Meetic completed a transaction in which Match contributed its Latin American business ("Match Latam") and Meetic contributed its Latin American business ("Parperfeito") to a newly formed venture. These contributions, along with a $3.0 million payment from Match to Meetic, resulted in each party owning a 50% equity interest in the newly formed venture, which was valued at $72 million. Match controls the venture through its voting interests. Accordingly, this transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Parperfeito and a decrease in ownership of Match Latam. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction as the fair value of the consideration received by Match equaled the fair value of the assets exchanged.

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        Between July 1, 2011 and July 22, 2011, IAC repurchased 2.4 million shares of common stock for aggregate consideration of $89.9 million.

        On July 26, 2011, IAC's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 15 million shares of its outstanding common stock.

NOTE 14—RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Restatement of Prior Period Consolidated Financial Statements

        The June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheets have been restated to correct the deferred income tax liability relating to a gain recorded in 2002 in connection with a series of transactions, which included the exchange of certain of the Company's media businesses for certain other assets, and the subsequent incorrect allocation of a portion of the deferred income taxes that were recorded in 2002 to a former subsidiary. These errors were identified during an analysis of the tax basis of certain businesses in connection with a 2011 review of the Company's organizational structure. Accordingly, the Company has restated the financial statements referenced above to correct these errors. The correction of these errors as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 increased non-current deferred income tax liabilities and reduced shareholders' equity by $380.9 million. Reclassifications of certain other deferred income tax balances as of June 30, 2011 and December 31,

In the fourth quarter of 2010, IAC exchanged (on a tax-free basis) our Evite, Gifts.com and IAC Advertising Solutions businesses and cash for substantially all of Liberty Media Corporation's ("Liberty") equity stake in IAC and InstantAction ceased operations. Accordingly, the results of these businesses, which were all previously reported in IAC's Media & Other segment, are excluded from the tables above and are presented as discontinued operations.

        Refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for reconciliations of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income (loss) by reportable segment and to net earnings (loss) attributable to IAC shareholders in total.

  (Dollars in thousands)
 

Revenue

  $ 485,404   23%   $ 394,244  

        Revenue in 2011 increased $91.2 million from 2010 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $55.2 million from Search, $19.5 million from Match, $9.8 million from Media & Other and $6.6 million from ServiceMagic. The increase in revenue from Search reflects strong growth from Mindspark's B2B operations as well as growth from destination websites, Mindspark's B2C operations and CityGrid Media. The increase in revenue from Match reflects strong growth from its Core operations (consisting of Match.com U.S., People Media and Chemistry.com) as well as from the impact of OkCupid, acquired January 20, 2011. The increase in revenue from Media & Other was driven by growth at Shoebuy, Electus, Notional and Vimeo, partially offset by a decline at Pronto. The increase in revenue from ServiceMagic came from growth in both its domestic and international operations.

        A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is attributable to online advertising. A significant majority of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a paid listing supply agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"), which expires on March 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue earned from Google was $221.3 million and $174.1 million, respectively. The majority of this revenue was earned by the businesses comprising the Search segment.

        Revenue in 2011 increased $173.2 million from 2010 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $104.9 million from Search, $41.8 million from Match, $15.9 million from Media & Other and $10.7 million from ServiceMagic. The increases in revenue from these businesses are primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. The revenue from Media & Other was further impacted from the inclusion in 2010 of revenue associated with profit participations related to our former interest in Reveille.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue earned from Google was $436.2 million and $345.7 million, respectively.

As a percentage of revenue

    37%     171 bp     36%  

bp = basis points

        Cost of revenue consists primarily of traffic acquisition costs. Traffic acquisition costs consist of payments made to partners who distribute Mindspark's customized browser-based applications, integrate our paid listings into their websites or direct traffic to our websites. These payments include amounts based on revenue share and other arrangements. Cost of revenue also includes Shoebuy's cost of products sold and shipping and handling costs, as well as expenses associated with the operation of the Company's data centers, including compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in data center functions, rent, energy and bandwidth costs, and content acquisition costs.

        Cost of revenue in 2011 increased $40.8 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $32.1 million from Search and $10.3 million from Media & Other, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million from Match. The increase in cost of revenue from Search was primarily due to an increase of $29.2 million in traffic acquisition costs related to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs increased over the prior year period due to an increase in the proportion of revenue from customized browser-based applications and other arrangements with third parties who direct traffic to our websites. Cost of revenue from Media & Other increased primarily due to increases from Electus and Notional. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales from Media & Other is an increase of $2.6 million in the cost of products sold and $1.1 million in shipping and handling costs at Shoebuy resulting from increased sales and higher fuel costs, partially offset by a decrease from The Daily Beast which, following the formation of The Newsweek/Daily Beast Company joint venture with Harman Newsweek on January 31, 2011, has been accounted for as an equity method investment. The decrease in cost of revenue from Match was primarily due to reduced spending from Singlesnet.

As a percentage of revenue

    27%     (256) bp     30%  

        Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in sales, sales support and customer service functions. Advertising and promotional expenditures include online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and third parties that distribute Mindspark's downloadable applications, and offline marketing, including television and radio advertising.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2011 increased $14.9 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $8.1 million from Match and $5.6 million from Search; however as a percentage of revenue selling and marketing expense decreased from 2010 primarily due to an increase in the proportion of revenue that results in the payment of traffic acquisition costs. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Match is due to an increase of $8.8 million in advertising and promotional expenditures primarily related to offline marketing, including an ad campaign to launch the OurTime.com website, as well as an increase in advertising spend associated with an agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2010 with Yahoo!. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Search is due to an increase of $6.8 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense at CityGrid Media. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures at Search was driven primarily by increased online marketing spend from its destination websites as well as efforts related to new product launches at Mindspark.

The increase in selling and marketing expense from both Match and Search are primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Selling and marketing expense from Media & Other decreased primarily due to lower online marketing spend at Pronto. As a percentage of revenue selling and marketing expense decreased from 2010 primarily due to the factor described above in the three month discussion.

As a percentage of revenue

    17%     (241) bp     19%  

        General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax and human resources, facilities costs and fees for professional services.

        General and administrative expense in 2011 increased $5.6 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $2.3 million from corporate, $1.4 million from Match and $0.9 million from Media & Other; however as a percentage of revenue general and administrative expense decreased from 2010 primarily due to operating expense leverage. General and administrative expense from corporate increased primarily due to higher compensation and other employee-related costs including an increase of $1.5 million in non-cash compensation expense related to the cancellation of certain equity awards during the second quarter of 2011. The increase in general and administrative expense from Match resulted primarily from an increase in professional fees due, in part, to the Meetic tender offer, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and other employee-related costs. The increase in general and administrative expense from Media & Other is principally due to Electus and Shoebuy, as well as Mobile Hatch, which was not in the prior year period, partially offset by The Daily Beast, which has been accounted for as an equity method investment from January 31, 2011 as described above.

        General and administrative expense in 2011 increased $8.0 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $2.6 million from corporate, $2.4 million from both ServiceMagic and Match and $1.9 million from Media & Other, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million from Search. The increases in general and administrative expense from corporate, Match and Media & Other are primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. General and administrative expense at ServiceMagic increased primarily due to the inclusion in 2010 of a reversal of a $2.5 million provision for contingent consideration related to the 2009 acquisition of Market Hardware, which was not earned. The decrease in general and administrative expense from Search is primarily due to a decrease in litigation related expenses, partially offset by an increase in compensation and other-employee related costs due, in part, to an increase in average headcount at CityGrid Media and Mindspark. As a percentage of revenue general and administrative expense decreased from 2010 primarily due to the factor described above in the three month discussion.

        Product development expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology.

        Product development expense in 2011 increased $2.9 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $2.0 million from Search and $0.8 million from Match. Contributing to the increase in product development expense at Search is a decrease in costs being capitalized in the current year period related to the development and enhancement of IAC Search & Media's product offerings and related technology, partially offset by lower compensation and other employee-related costs due, in part, to the Ask.com restructuring that took place during the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in product development expense from Match is primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2011 increased $33.0 million from 2010 primarily due to increases of $18.5 million from Search and $13.2 million from Match. The increase in Operating Income Before Amortization reflects, in each case, higher revenue and operating expense leverage, as well as a decrease in depreciation from Search and a decrease in cost of revenue from Match.

        Operating income in 2011 increased $33.6 million from 2010 primarily due to an increase of $33.0 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $2.6 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in non-cash compensation expense. The decrease in amortization of intangibles is principally due to certain intangible assets at Match being fully amortized prior to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily related to the cancellation of certain equity awards during the second quarter of 2011.

        At June 30, 2011, there was $149.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.

        Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates in 2011 decreased $16.0 million from 2010 primarily due to the inclusion in 2010 of an $18.3 million impairment charge to write-down the Company's investment in The HealthCentral Network, Inc. ("HealthCentral") to fair value. Absent this impairment charge, equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates increased primarily due to the factor described above in the three month discussion, partially offset by the positive contribution from our investment in Meetic. The Company recognized a loss in the prior year period related to its investment in Meetic primarily due to the amortization of intangibles, which was required by purchase accounting rules.

        Other income, net in 2011 increased $1.1 million from 2010 primarily due to the factor described above in the three month discussion, partially offset by the inclusion in 2010 of a gain of $4.0 million related to the sale of certain securities.

Income tax provision

  $ (9,518 ) NM   $ (5,313 )

        In 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $9.5 million on pre-tax income of $55.1 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 17%. The 2011 tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to the reduction in state tax accruals resulting from income tax provision to tax return reconciliations and the expiration of statutes of limitations and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by interest on tax contingencies and state taxes. In 2010, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $5.3 million on pre-tax income of $20.7 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 26%. The 2010 tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign tax credits, partially offset by interest on income tax contingencies and state taxes.

Income tax provision

  $ (25,559 ) NM   $ (11,458 )

        In 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $25.6 million on pre-tax income of $91.4 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 28%. The 2011 tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to the reduction in state tax accruals resulting from income tax provision to tax return reconciliations and the expiration of statutes of limitations and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by interest on tax contingencies and state taxes. In 2010, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $11.5 million on pre-tax income of $12.3 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 93%. The 2010 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset created by the impairment charge for our investment in HealthCentral, interest on income tax contingencies and state taxes, partially offset by foreign tax credits.

        At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $369.1 million and $389.9 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 decreased by $20.8 million from December 31, 2010 due principally to the reversal of state tax reserves to reflect income tax provision to tax return reconciliations, the expiration of statutes of limitations, and the receipt of favorable income tax rulings, as well as a net decrease in deductible temporary differences, partially offset by an increase in reserves related to a cost sharing and buy-in arrangement with a foreign subsidiary. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is a $1.5 million benefit and a $1.9 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is a $0.6 million expense and a $3.3 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $0.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $104.2 million and $97.7 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $4.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for penalties.

        The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its review of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2006. The settlement has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. The IRS began its review of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009 in July 2011. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2007 has currently been extended to December 31, 2012. Various state and local jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2003. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $57.0 million within twelve months of the current reporting date, of which approximately $10.9 million could decrease income tax provision, primarily due to settlements, expirations of statutes of limitations, and the reversal of deductible temporary differences that will primarily result in a corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        Of the Company's six reporting units with goodwill, IAC Search & Media and Shoebuy have fair values closest to their carrying values. The amount of goodwill of each of these two reporting units is $533.9 million and $21.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2011. To illustrate the magnitude of potential impairment charges related to potential future changes in estimated fair values, had the estimated fair values of each of these two reporting units been hypothetically lower by 20% at October 1, 2010, the date of our most recent annual impairment assessment, the carrying values of IAC Search & Media and Shoebuy would have exceeded their fair values by approximately $9 million and $3 million, respectively. If operating results of these two businesses vary significantly from anticipated results, future, and in the case of IAC Search & Media, potentially material, impairments of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets could occur.

Segment Results

        In addition to the discussion of consolidated results above, the following is a discussion of the results of each segment.

        Our Search segment includes Mindspark, a digital consumer products business consisting of our B2C operations, through which we develop, market and distribute downloadable applications, and our B2B operations, which provide customized browser-based applications for software and media companies; destination websites, including Ask.com and Dictionary.com, through which we provide search and additional services; and CityGrid Media, an online media company that aggregates and integrates local content and ads and distributes them to publishers across web and mobile platforms.

        Revenue increased 28% to $252.4 million, reflecting strong growth from Mindspark's B2B operations as well as growth from destination websites, Mindspark's B2C operations and CityGrid Media. The revenue growth in Mindspark's B2B operations was driven by increased contribution from both existing and new partners. The increase in Mindspark's B2C revenue was driven primarily by new products launched since the year ago period. The revenue growth in destination websites reflects increased and more efficient marketing efforts as well as improved monetization. The increase in revenue at CityGrid Media primarily reflects growth from existing resellers and the contribution from new resellers.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 58% to $50.6 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue due to a decrease of $3.6 million in depreciation and lower selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase of $29.2 million in traffic acquisition costs. The decrease in depreciation is primarily due to the write-off of certain assets in the prior year period, as well as a decrease in depreciation in the current year period resulting from the write-off of certain capitalized software costs associated with the Ask.com restructuring that took place in the fourth quarter of 2010. As a percentage of revenue both selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense decreased primarily due to an increase in the proportion of revenue that results in the payment of traffic acquisition costs and operating expense leverage, respectively; however, overall selling and marketing expense increased primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense at CityGrid Media. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures was driven primarily by increased online marketing spend from our destination websites as well as efforts related to new product launches at Mindspark. General and administrative expense increased due to higher compensation and other employee-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in litigation related expenses. The increase in traffic acquisition costs is primarily due to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs increased over the prior year period due to an increase in the proportion of revenue from customized browser-based applications and other arrangements with third parties who direct traffic to our websites.

        Operating income increased 59% to $50.3 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a slight decrease in both non-cash compensation expense and amortization of intangibles.

        Revenue increased 26% to $501.0 million, driven primarily by the factors described above in the three month discussion.

37


        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 57% to $100.0 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue due to a decrease of $5.7 million in depreciation and lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by increases of $53.7 million in traffic acquisition costs and $3.8 million in product development expense. The decrease in depreciation, the lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue and the increase in traffic acquisition costs are primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. The increase in product development expense is primarily due to a decrease in costs being capitalized in the current year period, partially offset by lower compensation and other employee-related costs due, in part, to the Ask.com restructuring that took place during the fourth quarter of 2010.

        Operating income increased 59% to $99.4 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a slight decrease in both non-cash compensation expense and amortization of intangibles.

        Revenue increased 20% to $116.4 million, benefiting from strong growth within its Core and Developing operations. Match's Developing operations consist of OkCupid, Singlesnet, mobile-only products and its international operations. Core revenue increased 22% to $97.6 million driven by a 17% increase in subscribers. The growth in Developing revenue was primarily due to display advertising revenue driven by the acquisition of OkCupid, which was not reflected in the prior year period. Revenue in the prior year period was negatively impacted by the write-off of $2.2 million in deferred revenue associated with the formation of our venture with Meetic in Latin America and the Singlesnet acquisition.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 45% to $42.3 million, primarily due to the higher revenue noted above, a decrease of $3.2 million in cost of revenue and lower general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase of $8.1 million in selling and marketing expense. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to reduced spending from Singlesnet. General and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue, however increased from 2010, primarily due to an increase in professional fees due, in part, to the Meetic tender offer, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and other employee-related costs. The increase in selling and marketing expense is due to an increase of $8.8 million in advertising and promotional expenditures primarily related to offline marketing, including an ad campaign to launch the OurTime.com website, as well as an increase in advertising spend associated with an agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2010 with Yahoo!.

        Operating income increased 61% to $41.0 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $2.5 million in amortization of intangibles due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized prior to the second quarter of 2011.

        Revenue increased 22% to $228.0 million. Core revenue increased 20% to $190.9 million driven by an increase in subscribers. Developing revenue increased 38% to $37.2 million driven primarily by Match's venture with Meetic in Latin America, which was not reflected in the full prior year period, as well as from the acquisition in 2011 of OkCupid and the contribution of Singlesnet, acquired March 2, 2010.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 53% to $67.3 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to lower cost of revenue and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

38


        Operating income increased 64% to $64.4 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $2.0 million in amortization of intangibles.

        Revenue increased 13% to $56.1 million, benefiting from growth in its domestic and international operations. Domestically, revenue growth reflects an 8% increase in accepted service requests, which was driven by an 8% increase in service requests and a 4% increase in service professionals. Domestic growth also reflects an increase in revenue from website design and hosting services. ServiceMagic's international revenue growth reflects a 71% increase in accepted service requests. A service request can be transmitted to more than one service professional and is deemed accepted upon transmission.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 41% to $8.6 million, primarily due to the higher revenue noted above and lower selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue. Operating Income Before Amortization in 2010 benefited from the reversal of a $0.9 million provision for contingent consideration related to the 2009 acquisition of Market Hardware, which was not earned.

        Operating income increased 43% to $8.2 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above.

        Revenue increased 12% to $102.4 million, driven primarily by the factors described above in the three month discussion. Domestically, revenue growth reflects an 8% increase in accepted service requests, which was driven, in part, by a 4% increase in service requests. ServiceMagic's international revenue growth reflects a 65% increase in accepted service requests.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 42% to $12.8 million, driven primarily by the factors described above in the three month discussion. Operating Income Before Amortization in 2010 benefited from the reversal of a $2.5 million provision for contingent consideration related to the 2009 acquisition of Market Hardware, which was not earned.

        Operating income increased 48% to $12.0 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a slight decrease in amortization of intangibles.

        Revenue increased 19% to $60.8 million primarily reflecting growth at Shoebuy, Electus, Notional and Vimeo, partially offset by a decline at Pronto.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $0.5 million to a loss of $3.1 million. Losses increased primarily due to increased operating expenses at Electus; reduced profitability at Pronto due to lower revenue; and start up costs at Hatch Labs, which was not in the prior year period. Operating Income Before Amortization loss in 2010 included losses related to The Daily Beast, which, following the formation of the joint venture with Harman Newsweek on January 31, 2011, has been accounted for as an equity method investment.

        Operating loss increased by $0.2 million to $3.2 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss described above, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation expense.

39


        Revenue increased 16% to $115.0 million primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Revenue was further impacted from the inclusion in 2010 of revenue associated with profit participations related to our former interest in Reveille.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $1.5 million to a loss of $6.5 million. Losses increased primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion and the inclusion in 2010 of profit participations related to our former interest in Reveille.

        Operating loss increased by $0.1 million to $7.0 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss described above, partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in amortization of intangibles and a decrease in non-cash compensation expense.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $0.7 million to a loss of $14.9 million reflecting higher compensation and other employee-related costs.

        Operating loss increased $2.9 million to $38.1 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss described above and an increase of $2.1 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily related to the cancellation of certain equity awards during the second quarter of 2011.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $2.8 million to a loss of $30.2 million primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating loss increased $3.7 million to $73.3 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss described above and an increase of $0.9 million in non-cash compensation expense.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At June 30, 2011, the Company had $622.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $289.0 million of marketable securities, $360.6 million of funds held in escrow for the Meetic tender offer, which launched July 8, 2011, and $95.8 million in long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of $80.0 million in Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035 and $15.8 million in 7% Senior Notes due January 15, 2013.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company purchased 4.8 million and 17.1 million shares of IAC common stock for aggregate consideration, on a trade date basis, of $172.8 million and $383.5 million, respectively. In addition, in connection with the tax-free exchange with Liberty in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company received 0.1 million shares of IAC common stock in February 2011 in fulfillment of post-closing working capital adjustments. IAC also repurchased an additional 2.4 million shares of common stock from July 1, 2011 through July 22, 2011 for aggregate consideration of $89.9 million. On July 26, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 15 million shares of IAC common stock. IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.

        Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations is $157.2 million and $131.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase of $25.6 million in net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations is primarily due to higher income in 2011, partially offset by cash income tax payments in 2011 as compared to cash income tax refunds in 2010.

        Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2011 of $189.8 million includes $360.6 million of funds held in escrow for the Meetic tender offer, acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $80.0 million and capital expenditures of $19.3 million. The funds held in escrow secure IAC's obligation in the event that all Meetic shares are tendered. Escrowed amounts reflecting shares not tendered will be released to the Company after the closing of the tender. Partially offsetting these uses of cash are the net proceeds of $267.1 million related to purchases, sales and maturities of marketable debt securities and the proceeds from sales of investments of $11.8 million, including the redemption of one of the Company's auction rate securities. Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2010 of $87.7 million includes net purchases of $60.7 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of marketable debt securities, capital expenditures of $23.5 million and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $16.7 million, partially offset by the dividend received from Meetic of $8.8 million and the proceeds of $5.3 million from the sale of certain securities.

        Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2011 of $85.3 million includes the purchase of treasury stock of $155.2 million, partially offset by proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes, of $52.0 million and the excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $17.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2010 of $367.9 million includes the purchase of treasury stock of $379.5 million, partially offset by proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes, of $6.6 million and the excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $5.0 million.

        IAC anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company may make a number of acquisitions which could result in the reduction of its cash and/or marketable securities balance or the incurrence of debt. IAC expects that 2011 capital expenditures will be less than 2010. IAC believes that its cash on hand along with its anticipated operating cash flows in 2011 and its access to capital markets are sufficient to fund its operating needs, capital, investing and other commitments and contingencies for the foreseeable future.

IAC'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

        IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization as a supplemental measure to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure which we discuss below.

Definition of IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

        Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (5) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition-related accounting.

Pro Forma Results

        We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this report, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.

One-Time Items

        Operating Income Before Amortization is presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this report, there are no one-time items.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

        Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for stock options and RSUs, are included on a treasury method basis, and for performance-based RSUs are included on a treasury method basis once the performance conditions are met. Upon the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs, the awards are settled, at the Company's discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.

        Amortization of intangibles (including impairment of intangibles, if applicable) and goodwill impairment (if applicable) are non-cash expenses relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer

43


lists, technology and supplier agreements, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.


RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME BEFORE AMORTIZATION

        For a reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income (loss) by reportable segment and to net earnings (loss) attributable to IAC shareholders in total for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

        The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment portfolio and long-term debt.

Investment Portfolio

        The Company invests its excess cash in certain cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, which consist primarily of money market instruments and short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government, U.S. governmental agencies, states of the U.S. and subdivisions thereof and investment grade corporate issuers. The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

        Based on the Company's total investment in marketable debt securities at June 30, 2011, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the debt investment securities by $1.9 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of debt securities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. Conversely, since almost all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance of $622.9 million is invested in short-term fixed or variable rate money market instruments, the Company would also earn more (less) interest income due to such an increase (decrease) in interest rates.

Long-term Debt

        At June 30, 2011, the Company's outstanding debt is $95.8 million, all of which pays interest at fixed rates. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on market rates. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase in fair value of the fixed-rate debt by $10.7 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of fixed-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period.

Equity Price Risk

        At June 30, 2011, the Company has three investments in equity securities of publicly traded companies. One of these investments is the Company's investment in Meetic, which is accounted for using the equity method. The other two investments are available-for-sale marketable equity securities. The investment in Meetic is included in "Long-term investments" and the available-for-sale marketable equity securities are either included in "Marketable securities" or "Long-term investments" depending on management intent on holding the securities. The available-for-sale marketable equity securities are reported at fair value based on their quoted market price with any unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Investments in equity securities of publicly traded companies are exposed to significant fluctuations in fair value due to the volatility of the stock market, among other factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges related to its available-for-sale marketable equity securities.

45


It is not customary for the Company to make significant investments in equity securities as part of its marketable securities investment strategy.

        Because our investment in Meetic is accounted for using the equity method, it is not reported at fair value. In the event the fair value of our investment in Meetic were to decline below its carrying value, this decline would be only one factor in an assessment for other-than-temporary impairment. In the event the Company acquires a controlling financial interest in Meetic pursuant to the tender offer, the Company will be required to remeasure its investment in Meetic at the acquisition-date fair value. Based on the tender offer price of €15.00 per share, the Company's current estimate of the remeasurement loss is approximately $10 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union. The Company's primary exposure to foreign currency exchange risk relates to investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro and British Pound Sterling. However, the exposure is mitigated since the Company has generally reinvested cash flows from international operations in order to grow the businesses. The statements of operations of the Company's international businesses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in reduced revenue and operating results. Similarly, the Company's revenue and operating results will increase for our international operations if the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

        The economic impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on the Company is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause the Company to adjust its financing and operating strategies. Foreign exchange gains and losses are not material to the Company's earnings in 2011 and 2010. As foreign currency exchange rates change, translation of the statements of operations of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. Historically, the Company has not hedged foreign currency exchange risks because cash flows from international operations are generally reinvested locally. However, the Company periodically reviews its strategy for hedging foreign currency exchange risks. The Company's objective in managing its foreign currency exchange risk is to minimize its potential exposure to the changes that foreign currency exchange rates might have on its earnings, cash flows and financial position.

46


Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

        The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.

        Prior to the filing of our original Form 10-Q, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, IAC management, including the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, initially conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

        In connection with the restatement of certain of our consolidated financial statements described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A, management of the Company reevaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and determined that the control deficiency that caused the misstatement constitutes a material weakness in the operational effectiveness of controls in the area of accounting for deferred income taxes. Therefore, management has subsequently concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

        As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, also evaluated whether any changes occurred to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, the Company concluded that there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

Remediation of Material Weakness

        As a result of the identification of the errors that led to the restatement and the related reassessment of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company has developed certain remediation steps to address the material weakness discussed above and to improve its internal control over financial reporting in the area of deferred income taxes. Specifically, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2011, we have increased the level of review of work performed by Company personnel and third-party tax professionals in the identification and calculation of deferred income tax liabilities. The Company is in the process of completing its testing of the additional internal control processes outlined above that are designed to remediate this material weakness and expects to conclude that the material weakness has been satisfactorily remediated in its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

        This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans" and "believes," among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: IAC's future financial performance, IAC's business prospects and strategy, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which IAC's businesses operate and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

        Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward- looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: changes in senior management at IAC and/or its businesses, changes in our relationship with, or policies implemented by, Google, adverse changes in economic conditions, either generally or in any of the markets or industries in which IAC's businesses operate, adverse trends in the online advertising industry or the advertising industry generally, our ability to convert visitors to our various websites into users and customers, our ability to offer new or alternative products and services in a cost-effective manner and consumer acceptance of these products and services, changes in industry standards and technology, actual tax liabilities that differ materially from our estimates, operational and financial risks relating to acquisitions, our ability to expand successfully into international markets and regulatory changes. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in IAC's filings with the SEC, including in Part II "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and operating results may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of IAC management as of the date of this report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors" of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
