Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

        On August 20, 2008, IAC completed its previously announced plan to separate into five publicly traded companies:

        We refer to this transaction as the "Spin-Off". Immediately subsequent to the Spin-Off, IAC effected a one-for-two reverse stock split. All per share amounts, unless otherwise noted, reflect the impact of the reverse stock split and are not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off entities.

        In addition, on May 30, 2008, IAC sold Entertainment Publications, Inc. ("EPI"), which previously comprised IAC's Entertainment segment.

        Accordingly, the results of operations and statements of position of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com and EPI have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

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

Discontinued Operations

        On August 9, 2005, IAC completed the separation of its travel and travel-related businesses and investments (other than Interval and TV Travel Shop) into an independent public company. We refer to this transaction as the "Expedia spin-off" and to the new company that holds IAC's former travel and travel-related businesses and investments as "Expedia."

        During the second quarter of 2005, HSNi sold its 48.6% ownership interest in EUVÍA and TV Travel Shop ceased operations. During the second quarter of 2006, Quiz TV Limited, which was previously reported in our Emerging Businesses group, ceased operations. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2006, PRC, IAC's former Teleservices subsidiary, was sold and iBuy, which was also previously reported in IAC's Emerging Businesses group, was classified as held for sale. During the second quarter of 2007, iBuy's assets were sold and HSNi's German TV and internet retailer, Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated station HSE24 ("HSE"), which was previously reported in the International reporting segment of our Retailing sector, was also sold.

        Further, on May 30, 2008, IAC sold EPI. In addition, on August 20, 2008, IAC completed the separation of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com into separate independent public companies.

5


        Accordingly, discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and cash flows include Expedia, EUVÍA, PRC and HSE through August 8, 2005, June 2, 2005, November 28, 2006 and June 19, 2007, respectively. HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com, EPI, TV Travel Shop, Quiz TV Limited and iBuy are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.

Sources of Revenue

        For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Media & Advertising segment was our largest financial contributor. Our Media & Advertising businesses offer information and services via the internet and are compensated directly and indirectly by advertisers generally based on performance and volume related measures. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Match segment was our largest financial contributor. Our Match business offers subscription membership services.

        Our ServiceMagic business is generally compensated on a fee basis by home service providers who participate in our services.

Channels of Distribution; Marketing Costs

        We market and offer our products and services directly to customers through branded websites and membership programs, allowing our customers to transact directly with us in a convenient manner. We have made, and expect to continue to make, substantial investments in online and offline advertising to build our brands and drive traffic to our businesses.

        We pay traffic acquisition costs which consist of revenue share payments to partners that have distributed toolbars and/or integrated sponsored listings into their websites and similar arrangements with third parties who direct traffic to our websites. We also pay to market and distribute our services on third party distribution channels, such as internet portals and search engines. In addition, some of our businesses manage affiliate programs, pursuant to which we pay commissions and fees to third parties based on revenue earned. These distribution channels might also offer their own products and services, as well as those of other third parties, that compete with those made available and offered by our businesses.

        The cost of acquiring new customers through online and offline third party distribution channels has increased, particularly in the case of online channels as internet commerce continues to grow and competition in the segments in which IAC's businesses operate increases.

Access to Supply

        Our various businesses provide supplier partners with important customer acquisition channels and we believe that the ability of our supplier partners to reach a large qualified audience through our services is a significant benefit. While we aim to build and maintain strong relationships with our supplier partners, we may not succeed in these efforts and there is always the risk that certain supplier partners may not make their products and services available to us in the future, including advertisers on the businesses within our Media & Advertising segment.

International Operations

        We continue to seek to expand the presence of certain of our brands and businesses abroad, particularly in Europe, given the large consumer marketplace for the services and goods that our brands and businesses offer. We believe foreign markets generally exhibit similar characteristics of the U.S. in regards to customer acceptance of an online marketplace. As a percentage of total IAC revenue (which excludes revenue related to discontinued operations), international operations represented approximately 15% in each of 2007, 2006 and 2005. International revenue grew approximately 37% in 2007 from 2006.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

IAC Consolidated Results

Revenue

        Revenue in 2007 increased 33% or $332.0 million primarily as a result of revenue increases of $214.3 million from the Media & Advertising segment, $59.7 million from the Emerging Businesses group, $37.5 million from Match and $29.7 million from ServiceMagic. The revenue growth from the Media & Advertising segment was driven primarily by an increase in queries from distributed search and sponsored listings and an increase in both revenue per query and queries at Fun Web Products and Ask. The contribution from the Emerging Businesses group was driven primarily by strong revenue growth at Shoebuy and Pronto.com. The revenue increase from Match was driven by an 11% increase in average revenue per subscriber, primarily in North America, and a 1% increase in worldwide subscribers. Revenue growth from ServiceMagic was driven primarily by a 37% increase in customer service requests, improved monetization of service requests and a 9% increase in the number of service providers in the network.

        Revenue in 2006 increased 91% or $477.1 million primarily as a result of revenue increases of $330.8 million from the Media & Advertising segment, $63.2 million from the Emerging Businesses group, $61.7 million from Match and $22.7 million from ServiceMagic. The revenue growth from the Media & Advertising segment was driven primarily by the acquisition of IAC Search & Media on July 19, 2005, which contributed $470.4 million to revenue in 2006 compared with $165.1 million in 2005. The revenue increase from the Emerging Businesses group was driven primarily by the acquisition of Shoebuy on February 3, 2006. The revenue growth at Match was driven by worldwide growth in subscribers of 7%.

Included in these increases is the impact of the acquisitions of IAC Search & Media on July 19, 2005 and Shoebuy on February 3, 2006, respectively.

Advertising and promotional expenditures at the Media & Advertising segment were favorably impacted by the reduction in 2007 marketing expense of $17.4 million, resulting from the capitalization and amortization of costs associated with the distribution of toolbars, which began on April 1, 2007. These costs had previously been expensed as incurred. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is due in part to a 34% increase in average headcount from the prior year at Citysearch primarily related to the opening of a new call center in late 2006. Selling and marketing expense from Match increased primarily due to an increase of $22.0 million in advertising and promotional expenditures related to its domestic and international marketing campaigns. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expense is increased expenses at the Emerging Businesses group primarily due to an increase of $8.9 million in online marketing at Pronto.com. In addition, selling and marketing expense increased at ServiceMagic primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the expansion of the sales force and increased marketing expenses.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2006 increased $172.0 million from 2005 primarily due to increases of $121.2 million from the Media & Advertising segment, $28.2 million from Match and $8.1 million from the Emerging Businesses group. The increase in selling and marketing expense from the Media & Advertising segment reflects the impact of the inclusion of IAC Search & Media from its date of acquisition on July 19, 2005. In addition, selling and marketing expense from Match increased primarily due to an increase of $25.3 million in advertising and promotional expenditures related principally to offline marketing expense associated with its advertising campaigns in North America and certain international markets. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expense is the Emerging Businesses group, which was impacted primarily by the inclusion of Shoebuy from its date of acquisition February 3, 2006.

As a percentage of total revenue

  21%   (449) bp   25%   (2,385) bp   49%

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

        General and administrative expense in 2007 increased $23.2 million from 2006 primarily due to increases of $12.8 million from corporate and $10.2 million from ServiceMagic. The increase in general and administrative expense at corporate was primarily due to an increase of $4.8 million in non-cash compensation expense, $4.1 million in transactions costs related to the Spin-Offs and the inclusion of a favorable settlement of a lawsuit in the prior year period. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued in 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media acquisition as well as the impact of expense relating to equity modifications recorded in the prior year. General and administrative expense from ServiceMagic in 2007 reflects an increase of $7.4 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, due in part, to an increase in headcount of 20%, resulting from growth in the business.

        General and administrative expense in 2006 decreased $5.5 million from 2005 primarily due to a reduction in corporate expenses of $51.2 million, partially offset by increases of $25.8 million from the Media & Advertising segment and $14.4 million from the Emerging Businesses group. The decrease in general and administrative expense at corporate was driven primarily by a decrease of $28.6 million in non-cash compensation expense, the absence of approximately $15.2 million of Expedia spin-off related expenses in 2006, lower professional fees and a favorable settlement of a lawsuit. The decrease in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to a $55.3 million charge in 2005 related to the modification of vested stock options in connection with the Expedia spin-off, partially offset by an increase during 2006 in non-cash compensation expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media acquisition, as well as expense associated with 2006 equity grants and modifications. Partially offsetting these factors is an increase in expenses from the Media & Advertising segment and the Emerging Businesses group which were driven by the inclusion of a full year of results of IAC Search & Media and the results of Shoebuy since its acquisition on February 3, 2006, respectively.

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for the prior periods. There was no impact to the amount of stock-based compensation recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of adopting SFAS 123R. The Company has been recognizing expense for all stock-based grants since August 9, 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), due to the modification resulting from the Expedia spin-off. The majority of IAC's stock-based compensation expense is reflected in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $140.2 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 2.2 years.

        Other operating expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in product development at IAC Search & Media, which include costs related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of technology that are not capitalized.

        Other operating expense in 2007 increased $8.7 million from 2006, primarily due to an increase of $5.7 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at IAC Search & Media in 2007. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is primarily due to a 14% increase in headcount, as IAC Search & Media continued to upgrade and enhance its search technology and products.

        Other operating expense in 2006 increased $24.9 million from 2005 primarily due to the inclusion of the full year of results in 2006 of IAC Search & Media.

        Depreciation in 2007 and 2006 increased $7.0 million and $19.1 million, respectively, primarily due to the incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures made throughout 2006 and 2007 and various acquisitions, partially offset by certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated during the period.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2007 increased $45.1 million from 2006 primarily due to growth of $29.9 million and $15.0 million from the Media & Advertising segment and Match, respectively. Contributing favorably to Operating Income Before Amortization is a benefit of $17.4 million from the Media & Advertising segment resulting from the capitalization of certain marketing costs that had previously been expensed as incurred as described above in the selling and marketing expense discussion. In addition, Operating Income Before Amortization was further impacted by continued growth and lower operating costs at Match.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2006 increased $64.2 million from 2005 primarily due to increases of $27.8 million from the Media & Advertising segment and $15.5 million from Match and a $17.2 million reduction in corporate expenses. The increase at the Media & Advertising segment was

11



primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of results from IAC Search & Media in 2006. In addition, Operating Income Before Amortization was also favorably impacted by continued growth at Match. Also contributing to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization is the decrease in corporate expenses primarily related to the inclusion of $15.2 million of Expedia spin-off transaction expenses in 2005.

  (6)%   523 bp   (11)%   1,803 bp   (29)%

        Operating loss in 2007 decreased $32.8 million from 2006 primarily due to the increase of $45.1 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $6.5 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $12.5 million in amortization of non-cash marketing and an increase of $6.2 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash marketing is attributable to Match and IAC Search & Media. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to additional equity grants in 2007 and 2006. Operating loss reflects lower amortization of intangibles primarily due to lower amortization expense at the Media & Advertising segment due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized. The amortization of non-cash marketing referred to in this report consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which Vivendi Universal Entertainment, LLLP ("VUE") was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE.

        Operating loss in 2006 decreased $41.3 million from 2005 primarily due to the increase of $64.2 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $26.4 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in non-cash marketing of $37.1 million primarily related to IAC Search & Media and an increase of $12.2 million in amortization of intangibles. The reduction in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to a $55.3 million charge in 2005 related to the modification of vested stock options in connection with the Expedia spin-off. The increase in the amortization of intangibles relates primarily to an increase in amortization related to intangibles arising from the July 2005 acquisition of IAC Search & Media.

        Interest income in 2007 decreased $4.8 million from 2006 primarily due to lower cash and marketable securities balances in 2007, as well as a partial reallocation of investments into tax-exempt cash equivalents and marketable securities. Interest expense in 2007 increased $1.2 million from 2006 as average interest rates increased slightly while the average amount of outstanding debt remained relatively consistent year over year.

        Gain on sale of VUE interests in 2007 represents amounts received due to the resolution of certain contingencies related to the sale of our common interests in VUE to NBC Universal on June 7, 2005.

12


        Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2007 decreased $9.0 million from 2006 primarily due to a smaller contribution from the Company's investment in Jupiter Shop Channel, a shopping channel in Japan.

        Other income in 2007 increased $37.3 million from 2006 primarily due to a gain of $24.1 million in 2007 related to the change in value of the derivative asset received by the Company in connection with the sale of HSE, a year-over-year positive change of $15.2 million in the amount recognized related to the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off and a $3.1 million gain on the sale of fixed assets in 2007. Other income in 2006 includes a gain of $5.8 million from the sale of long-term investments.

        Interest income in 2006 decreased $70.4 million from 2005 primarily due to the absence of any income related to the VUE preferred securities (compared to $51.0 million in the prior period) which were sold on June 7, 2005 and lower cash and marketable securities balances in 2006. Interest expense in 2006 decreased $15.7 million from 2005 as a result of the prior year inclusion of interest expense on the Company's 63/4% Senior Notes which matured on November 15, 2005. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates on interest rate swap arrangements and interest expense on the New York City Industrial Development Agency Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035 (the "Liberty Bonds").

        Equity in the income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2006 decreased $13.1 million from 2005 primarily due to the absence of any equity income from its investment in VUE, partially offset by the increased equity income from the Company's investment in Jupiter Shop Channel. Since the Company sold its interests in VUE in June 2005, no equity income from this investment was recorded in 2006 compared with $22.0 million in 2005. Equity income in 2005 included IAC's share in VUE's results for the fourth quarter of 2004, which IAC had previously consistently recorded on a one-quarter lag, and IAC's share in VUE's results from January 1, 2005 through the date of sale.

        Other expense in 2006 decreased $10.7 million from 2005 primarily due to a change of $13.9 million in the amount recognized related to derivatives that were created in the Expedia spin-off. The 2006 amount was a net loss of $9.3 million, and the 2005 amount was a net gain of $4.6 million. Partially offsetting the 2006 amount was a gain from the sale of a long-term investment. Other expense in 2005 included realized losses on the sale of marketable securities of $15.7 million, $15.0 million of which were deemed to be other-than-temporary as of the end of the first quarter of 2005. Losses deemed to be other-than-temporary related to marketable securities that were sold by the Company to fund its cash needs related to: the repurchase of 13.2 million shares of IAC common stock associated with the acquisition of IAC Search & Media; the acquisition of Cornerstone Brands; and the redemption of substantially all of IAC's preferred stock in connection with the Expedia spin-off.

Income tax provision

        In 2007, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $2.3 million, despite a loss from continuing operations. The tax provision includes interest on tax contingencies, partially offset by benefits from foreign tax credits associated with foreign equity investments, tax exempt income, federal tax credits for increasing research activities and non-taxable gains on derivatives. In 2006, the Company recorded a tax benefit for continuing operations of $48.5 million which represents an effective tax rate of 64%. The 2006 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign tax credits and the release of deferred tax liabilities associated with a foreign equity investment, net adjustments related to the reconciliation of provision accruals to tax returns and state and local income taxes, partially offset by interest on tax contingencies. In 2005, the Company recorded a tax provision for continuing operations of $165.4 million which represents an effective tax rate of 36%. The 2005 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes, interest on tax contingencies and non-deductible non-cash compensation expense, substantially offset by net adjustments related to the reconciliation of provision

13



accruals to tax returns, the effect of changes in estimated combined state tax rates and benefits from tax exempt income.

        The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48") effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in an increase of $420.7 million to retained earnings. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $223.5 million and $231.0 million.

        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 deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known.

        In 2005, the Joint Committee of Taxation completed its review and approved the audit settlement previously agreed to with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended December 31, 1997 through 2000. The resolution of this IRS examination did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or its consolidated financial position. The IRS is currently examining the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2008. Various state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are Florida, New York and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001. These examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $39.8 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due to settlements and the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

Discontinued operations

        Discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations include Expedia through August 8, 2005, EUVÍA through June 2, 2005, PRC through November 28, 2006 and HSE through June 19, 2007. HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com, EPI, TV Travel Shop, Quiz TV Limited and iBuy are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Results from these discontinued operations, net of tax, in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were a loss of $173.2 million, income of $204.1 million and income of $501.8 million, respectively. The 2007 amount is principally due to the losses of Tree.com and EPI, which include impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets for Tree.com of $459.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, and $48.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, for EPI. The losses from Tree.com and EPI were partially offset by income of Ticketmaster, HSNi and ILG. The 2006 amount is principally due to the income of Ticketmaster, HSNi and ILG, partially offset by losses of EPI, which include impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets of $189.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The 2005 amount is principally due to the income of Expedia, HSNi, Ticketmaster, a tax benefit of $62.8 million related to the write-off of the Company's investment in TV Travel Shop and income of ILG.

        Additionally, the Company recognized after-tax gains in 2007, 2006 and 2005 of $31.1 million, $9.6 million and $70.2 million on the sales of HSE, PRC and EUVÍA, respectively.

        Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for reconciliations by segment of Operating Income Before Amortization to Operating Income.

Media & Advertising

        Media & Advertising consists of the results of IAC Search & Media (since its acquisition on July 19, 2005), Citysearch and Evite. IAC Search & Media consists of proprietary properties such as Ask.com and Fun Web Products, and network properties which include distributed search, sponsored listings and toolbars.

        Revenue grew 39% to $758.5 million, primarily due to an increase in queries from distributed search and sponsored listings and an increase in both revenue per query and queries at Fun Web Products and Ask. Within IAC Search & Media, network revenue growth outpaced that of proprietary

15


revenue primarily due to an increase in distributed search and sponsored listings. Proprietary revenue grew on the strength of Fun Web Products and Ask.com.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 51% to $88.2 million, primarily due to the revenue growth noted above, as well as a reduction in the current year marketing expense of $17.4 million resulting from the capitalization and amortization of costs associated with the distribution of toolbars, which began on April 1, 2007. These costs had previously been expensed as incurred (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). The increase in Operating Income Before Amortization was adversely impacted by increases of $21.5 million in selling and marketing expense and $7.1 million in other operating expense at IAC Search & Media and an increase of $10.2 million in selling and marketing expense at Citysearch. The increases in selling and marketing expense at IAC Search & Media and Citysearch are primarily due to Ask.com's 2007 ad campaign and the opening of a new Citysearch call center in late 2006. Operating Income Before Amortization also reflects increased cost of sales primarily related to revenue share payments to third party traffic sources which is a direct result of the growth in network revenue.

        Operating loss decreased $35.9 million to income of $29.9 million, due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, as well as a $10.0 million decrease in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        The Company has entered into a new paid listings agreement with Google effective January 1, 2008. The new contract limits our ability to syndicate sponsored listings to certain partners, which will lead to a greater percentage of revenues for our Media & Advertising segment coming from the higher-margin proprietary side of the business, and a lesser percentage from the lower-margin syndication business. As a result, in 2008 we expect to see margin expansion and a benefit to profit growth, while simultaneously seeing a negative impact on revenue growth.

        Revenue and Operating Income Before Amortization grew to $544.2 million and $58.3 million, respectively, primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of results from IAC Search & Media in 2006 and increased traffic at Citysearch, which favorably impacted its pay-for-performance revenue.

        Operating loss was $6.0 million in 2006 compared to operating income of $7.7 million in 2005, despite the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above primarily due to a $29.6 million increase in amortization of non-cash marketing and an $11.8 million increase in the amortization of intangibles resulting from the IAC Search & Media acquisition.

        On a stand alone basis, IAC Search & Media revenue increased 27% compared to its prior year period. Revenue growth was primarily driven by increased search queries, partially offset by a decline in non-search advertising revenue. Network revenue grew at a faster rate than proprietary revenue due to an increase in distributed search results and traffic from our syndicated portals. Proprietary revenue growth was attributable to strength in the Fun Web Products business and at Ask.com in the U.S., partially offset by weakness at Ask.com in the U.K. IAC Search & Media's Operating Income Before Amortization grew at a slower rate than revenue primarily due to increased cost of sales related to revenue share payments to third party traffic sources. Operating Income Before Amortization was further impacted by increases of $49.0 million in selling and marketing expense and $7.9 million in other operating expense. Partially offsetting these factors was a decrease of $16.6 million in general and administrative expense related primarily to lower professional fees.

Match

        Revenue grew 12% to $348.7 million, reflecting higher average prices in North America which contributed to an 11% increase in average revenue per subscriber. International and worldwide subscribers grew 11% and 1%, respectively. The growth in international paid subscribers was driven by expansion in several markets, most notably the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 24% to $78.4 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to lower operating costs and a lower international cost of customer acquisition as a percentage of revenue.

        Operating income increased 13% to $65.8 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above as well as a decrease in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an $8.2 million increase in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        Revenue grew 25% to $311.2 million, reflecting a 7% increase in worldwide paid subscribers to 1.3 million and an increase in the average revenue per paid subscriber, due in part to a greater percentage of subscribers at higher package prices versus the prior year. International paid subscribers grew 13% over the prior year period driven by expansion in several markets, most notably the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 32% to $63.4 million, primarily due to the higher revenue noted above and $1.7 million in reduced website hosting expenses, partially offset by increased marketing expense in international markets and increased operating costs of $4.3 million related to Chemistry.com, which launched nationally during the first quarter of 2006.

        Operating income increased 32% to $58.4 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above as well as a decrease in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in amortization of non-cash marketing.

ServiceMagic

        Revenue grew 47% to $93.4 million, benefiting from a 37% increase in customer service requests, improved monetization of service requests and a 9% increase in the number of service providers in the network.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income increased 29% and 42%, respectively, to $20.8 million and $17.6 million, respectively, primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $10.2 million in general and administrative expense and $8.2 million in selling and marketing expense. These increases are primarily related to increases in compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the opening of a new call center in Kansas City, the expansion of the sales force and increased marketing expenses.

        ServiceMagic's results for the year were strong, although it did experience slower growth in its higher margin non-essential home repair and improvement requests during the fourth quarter. While difficult to say with certainty, we believe that this was due, in part, to the general economic slowdown, particularly its impact on housing and consumer spending. We continue to invest in this business to enhance its long-term prospects, but near term results may be impacted if current adverse economic conditions persist.

17


        Revenue grew 55% to $63.7 million, benefiting from a 41% increase in customer service requests and a 22% increase in the number of service providers in the network.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income increased 44% and 39%, respectively, to $16.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by increases in both selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense. These increases in expense are primarily related to increases in compensation and other employee-related costs associated, in part, with a 27% and 77% increase in headcount, respectively.

Emerging Businesses

        Emerging Businesses include Shoebuy, ReserveAmerica, Pronto.com, Gifts.com College Humor and Busted Tees, as well as other early stage businesses.

        Revenue grew 70% to $145.3 million reflecting strong growth at Shoebuy and Pronto.com.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss and operating loss decreased 44% and 16%, respectively, to losses of $7.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively. Losses decreased due primarily to the inclusion in the current year's results of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture, partially offset by increased operating expenses associated with early stage businesses not in the year ago period.

        Revenue grew 282% to $85.6 million reflecting the inclusion of Shoebuy since its acquisition on February 3, 2006.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased 9% to a loss of $14.1 million primarily driven by increased operating expenses associated with Pronto.com and other early stage businesses not in the year ago period, partially offset by the inclusion of Shoebuy.

        Operating loss increased 89% to $25.5 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above, an increase of $4.5 million in amortization of non-cash marketing, an increase of $4.4 million in non-cash compensation expense and an increase of $2.0 million in amortization of intangibles. The increase in non-cash marketing is attributable to Gifts.com. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is principally due to equity grants in 2006 to Shoebuy management. The increase in amortization of intangibles resulted from the Shoebuy acquisition.

Corporate and Other

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased 12% to a loss of $98.9 million reflecting $4.1 million in transactions costs related to the Spin-Offs in 2007 and the inclusion of a favorable settlement of a lawsuit in the prior year period.

        Operating loss increased 13% to $170.4 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and a $9.2 million increase in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued in 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the

18



IAC Search & Media acquisition as well as the impact of expense relating to equity modifications recorded in the prior year.

        Refer to the consolidated general and administrative expense discussion on page 10 for additional information.

        The Company expects corporate operating expenses to significantly increase in 2008 due to legal (including litigation), accounting and other professional and consulting fees relating to, and charges associated with equity award modifications to be made in connection with, the Spin-Offs.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss decreased 16% to a loss of $88.4 million reflecting $15.2 million of Expedia spin-off related expenses in 2005, lower professional fees and a favorable settlement of a lawsuit in 2006.

        Operating loss decreased 25% to $150.6 million, primarily due to the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and a $32.1 million decrease in non-cash compensation expense. The decrease in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to a $55.3 million charge in 2005 related to the modification of vested stock options in connection with the Expedia spin-off, partially offset by an increase during 2006 in non-cash compensation expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media acquisition, as well as expense associated with 2006 equity grants and modifications.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        All IAC common stock share information has been adjusted to reflect IAC's one-for-two reverse stock split in August 2008. All per share amounts, unless otherwise noted, reflect the impact of the reverse stock split and are not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off entities.

        As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents and $326.8 million of marketable securities.

        During 2007 and 2006, IAC purchased 7.8 million and 18.2 million shares of IAC common stock for aggregate consideration, on a trade date basis, of $508.6 million and $999.7 million, respectively. IAC also repurchased an additional 3.0 million shares of IAC common stock on January 10, 2008 for $145.5 million. In 2006, IAC's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 30 million shares of IAC common stock of which 22.4 million shares remain at February 1, 2008. 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 used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $26.5 million in 2007 compared with net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations of $45.9 million in 2006. The decrease of $72.3 million in net cash provided by operating activities reflects an increase in cash taxes paid of $149.2 million.

        Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $337.4 million primarily resulted from the net proceeds of $583.4 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by capital expenditures of $112.9 million, acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $45.9 million, and the net increase in long-term investments of $120.0 million. During 2007 the Company invested $256.2 million in entities that are accounted for under the equity method. The most significant investment made by the Company was in Front Line Management Group, Inc., and included the conversion of a $26.5 million convertible note. On August 9, 2007, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Front Line to the Warner Music Group at the same per share price that the Company paid to acquire its investment in Front Line. In accordance with the terms of the Spin-Off, IAC transferred its equity investment in Front Line, valued at $125.8 million at December 31, 2007, to Ticketmaster. Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2006 of $540.1 million primarily resulted from the net proceeds of $507.4 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities and proceeds from the sale of PRC of $267.6 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $144.9 million and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $96.3 million.

        Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $533.5 million was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock of $542.9 million, the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock-based awards, net of withholding taxes, of $64.2 million and principal payments on long-term obligations of $7.6 million, partially offset by the excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $75.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2006 of $855.3 million was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock in the amount of $983.2 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock- based awards, net of withholding taxes, of $93.8 million.

        Net cash provided by discontinued operations in 2007 and 2006 of $356.5 million and $678.6 million, respectively, relates primarily to the operations of Ticketmaster, HSNi, Interval and Tree.com. The Company does not expect future cash flows associated with existing discontinued operations to be significant.

        As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $846.7 million in short and long-term obligations, of which $12.1 million, consisting principally of the Ask Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2008 (the "Convertible Notes"), are classified as current. Long-term debt consists primarily

20



of the 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "2002 Senior Notes") and the Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035. Interest on the Liberty Bonds is payable at a rate of 5% per annum.

        In connection with the IAC Search & Media acquisition, IAC guaranteed $115 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock at an initial conversion price of $13.34 per share (not adjusted for the one-for-two reverse stock split as all this debt matured prior to August 2008), subject to certain adjustments. Upon conversion, IAC and Expedia have the right, subject to certain conditions, to deliver cash (or a combination of cash and shares) in lieu of shares of its respective common stock. During 2007, $7.7 million of Convertible Notes was converted into 0.1 million IAC common shares and 0.1 million Expedia common shares. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes is $12.3 million at December 31, 2007.

        IAC anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its overall operations. The Company may make a number of acquisitions which could result in the reduction of its cash balance or the incurrence of debt. The Company expects that 2008 capital expenditures will be lower than 2007.

        The Company has considered its anticipated operating cash flows in 2008, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, current borrowing capacity and access to capital markets and believes that these are sufficient to fund its operating needs, including debt requirements, 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 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. We provide and 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 and amortization of non-cash marketing, (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, non-cash marketing, and acquisition-related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.

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 SEC rules. 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 restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, 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 non-cash marketing consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which VUE was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE (collectively referred to as the "NBC Universal Advertising"). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on

23



various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost. At December 31, 2007, there was approximately $47.0 million of NBC Universal Advertising credits available for use.

        The NBC Universal Advertising is excluded from Operating Income Before Amortization because it is non-cash and generally is incremental to the advertising the Company otherwise secures as a result of its ordinary cost/benefit marketing planning process. Accordingly, the Company's aggregate level of advertising, and the increased concentration of that advertising on NBC Universal network and cable channels, does not reflect what our advertising effort would otherwise be without these credits, which will expire on September 30, 2009 if not exhausted before then. As a result, management believes that treating the NBC Universal Advertising as an expense does not appropriately reflect its true cost/benefit relationship, nor does it best reflect the Company's long-term level of advertising expenditures. Nonetheless, while the benefits directly attributable to television advertising are always difficult to determine, and especially so with respect to the NBC Universal Advertising due to its incrementality and heavy concentration, it is likely that the Company does derive benefits from it, though management believes such benefits are generally less than those received through its regular advertising for the reasons stated above. Operating Income Before Amortization therefore has the limitation of including those benefits while excluding the associated expense.

        Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as supplier contracts and customer relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.


RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME BEFORE AMORTIZATION

        For a reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income (loss) for the Company's operating segments and to net (loss) earnings available to common shareholders in total for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The following disclosure is provided to supplement the descriptions of IAC's accounting policies contained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in regard to significant areas of judgment. Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they relate, some of our accounting policies and estimates have a more significant impact on our consolidated financial statements than others. What follows is a discussion of some of our more significant accounting policies and estimates.

        We review the carrying value of all long-lived assets, this is primarily property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may be impaired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal on Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), impairment is considered to have occurred whenever the carrying value of a

24


long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows that is expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The determination of cash flows is based upon assumptions that may not occur. The value of long-lived assets that is subject to assessment for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144 is $407.2 million at December 31, 2007.

        In accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), we review the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis as of October 1st or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We determine the fair value of a reporting unit based upon an evaluation of its expected discounted cash flows. This discounted cash flow analysis utilizes an evaluation of historical and forecasted operating results. The determination of discounted cash flows is based upon forecasted operating results that may not occur. In 2007 and 2006, IAC determined for businesses included within continuing operations that the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired based on current facts and circumstances. If actual operating results of the Company vary significantly from anticipated results, it could result in the future impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets. The value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that is subject to assessment for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142 is $1.8 billion and $329.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007.

        The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). The Company invests in certain marketable securities, which consist primarily of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and municipalities and foreign sovereignties and investment grade corporate securities. In addition, the Company holds approximately 5.5 million shares of Arcandor AG at December 31, 2007. The unrealized gains and losses on these securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of a security sold or the amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

        The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairment of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded in current earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established. Future events may result in reconsideration of the nature of losses as other-than-temporary and market and other factors may cause declines in the value the Company's investment in marketable securities to decline.

        We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances when it is assessed that all or a portion of the receivable will not be collected. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the specific customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the customer's

25


industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. As of December 31, 2007, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is $8.7 million.

        Estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to the deferred assets and liabilities are shown in Note 7, and reflect management's assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in the consolidated financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and the probability of realization. As of December 31, 2007, the balance of deferred tax assets, net, is $127.5 million. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, state income tax apportionment or the outcome of any review of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as actual operating results of the Company that vary significantly from anticipated results. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by the interpretation. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This measurement step is inherently difficult and requires subjective estimations of such amounts to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company had adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and was providing expense for stock-based compensation for the fair value of grants made on or after January 1, 2003 on a prospective basis and provided pro forma information in the notes to financial statements to present its results as if the fair value of all equity awards issued in years prior to 2003 were being expensed. There were no stock options granted by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. As disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimated the fair value of options issued in 2005 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.10%, a dividend yield of zero and volatility factors of 42%, based on the expected market price of IAC common stock based on historical trends and a weighted average expected life of the options of 6.5 years. The impact on compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007, assuming a 1% increase in the risk-free interest rate, a 10% increase in the volatility factor, and a one year increase in the weighted average expected life of the outstanding options would be an increase of $0.9 million, $3.4 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company also issues restricted stock units and performance stock units. For restricted stock units issued, the value of the instrument is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and amortized ratably as non-cash compensation expense over the vesting term. For performance stock units issued, the value of the instrument is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation when the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved. For stock options issued since 2003, including unvested options assumed in acquisitions, the value of the option is measured at the grant date (or acquisition date, if applicable) at fair value and amortized over the remaining vesting term.

Item 7A.    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, including the current portion thereof.

        The Company invests its excess cash in certain cash equivalents and marketable 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 and municipalities and foreign sovereignties 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 loss is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

        Based on the Company's total debt investment securities as of December 31, 2007, 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 approximately $3.3 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 balance of approximately $878.2 million is invested in variable rate interest earning assets, the Company would also earn more (less) interest income due to such an increase (decrease) in interest rates.

        At December 31, 2007, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $846.7 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. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of this interest rate exposure. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt is to maintain its mix of floating rate and fixed rate debt within a certain range. In 2004 and 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements related to a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes, which allow IAC to receive fixed rate amounts in exchange for making floating rate payments based on the LIBOR. As of December 31, 2007, of the $750 million total principal amount of the 2002 Senior Notes, the interest rate is fixed on $400 million at 7% and the balance of $350 million has been swapped to floating based on the spread over 6-month LIBOR. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2007 resulted in gains of $4.5 million which have been entirely offset by corresponding losses attributable to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.

        The Company's outstanding fixed-rate debt at December 31, 2007 relates to the $750 million outstanding under the 2002 Senior Notes, the $80 million outstanding under the Liberty Bonds and the $12.3 million outstanding under the Convertible Notes. Excluding the $350 million under the 2002 Senior Notes, which currently pays a variable interest rate as a result of the outstanding swap agreements noted above, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the fixed-rate debt by approximately $28.4 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. If the LIBOR rates were to increase (decrease) by 100 basis points, then the annual

27



interest payments on the $350 million of variable-rate debt would have increased (decreased) by $3.5 million. Such potential increase or decrease in interest payments are based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of variable-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.

        The Company formally designates and documents all hedging relationships as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, as applicable, and documents the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and the method of assessing ongoing effectiveness.

Equity Price Risk

        As a result of the sale of HSE on June 19, 2007, IAC received from Arcandor AG ("ARO"), formerly known as KarstadtQuelle AG, approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock valued at €141 million (the "ARO Shares"), plus additional consideration in the form of a derivative asset, that has value of up to €54 million within three years. ARO shares are listed on the German stock exchange (XETRA: ARO) and as a result, IAC is exposed to changes in ARO's stock price. The ultimate value of the derivative asset is dependent, in part, upon the average value of ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). If the Average Value of the ARO Shares is equal to or less than €141 million, IAC will receive a cash payment equal to €54 million. If the Average Value of the ARO Shares is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. If the Average Value of the ARO Shares is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the value of the ARO Shares equals or exceeds €35.68 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days during the three year period from June 20, 2007 through June 19, 2010, the derivative asset expires without any payment being made. The derivative asset is maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized in current earnings as a component of other income. During 2007 the change in the fair value of this derivative asset resulted in a gain of $24.1 million which was recognized in current earnings. IAC's investment in ARO is accounted for as a marketable equity security and at December 31, 2007 is valued at €89 million. The related loss, net of deferred taxes, is included in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The severity of the unrealized loss (fair value is approximately 37% less than cost) and duration of the unrealized loss (less than 6 months) are consistent with the weak and adverse conditions affecting the market in which Arcandor operates. The Company evaluated the prospects of Arcandor in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss. Based on that evaluation and the Company's ability and intent to hold the ARO shares for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an expected recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider the unrealized loss related to the ARO shares to be other-than-temporary at December 31, 2007.

        Following the Expedia spin-off, derivative liabilities were created due to IAC's obligation to deliver shares of both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock to the holders upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of certain IAC warrants. Derivative assets were also created due to Expedia's contractual obligation to deliver shares of Expedia common stock to IAC upon conversion by the holders of the Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the warrants. Both the derivative liabilities and derivative assets are maintained at fair value each reporting period, and the changes in fair values, which are based upon changes in both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, are recognized in current earnings as a component of other income. The net fair value adjustments recognized in current earnings during 2007 was a gain of $5.8 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union and Canada. The Company's primary exposure to foreign currency risk relates to investments in foreign

28



subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar. However, the exposure is mitigated since the Company has generally reinvested profits from international operations in order to grow the businesses. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk related to its assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

        As the Company increases its operations in international markets it becomes increasingly exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of 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.

        As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. Historically, the Company has not hedged translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally.

        Foreign exchange gains and losses were not material to the Company's earnings in 2007, 2006 and 2005. However, the Company periodically reviews its strategy for hedging transaction risks. The Company's objective in managing its foreign exchange risk is to minimize its potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on its earnings, cash flows and financial position.

Item 8.    Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
IAC/InterActiveCorp

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IAC/InterActiveCorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statement of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IAC/InterActiveCorp and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

        As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2007, IAC/InterActiveCorp adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of IAC/InterActiveCorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

IAC had no ownership interest in Expedia after the spin-off of Expedia.

(b)
Due to a reconciliation of federal and state income taxes for the 2005 period prior to the Expedia spin-off and as provided for in the tax sharing agreement entered into with Expedia at the time of the Expedia spin-off, the Company recorded a $17.8 million reduction to the amount distributed to Expedia shareholders due to a reduced tax liability.

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

        On August 20, 2008, IAC completed its previously announced plan to separate into five publicly traded companies:

        We refer to this transaction as the "Spin-Off". Immediately subsequent to the Spin-Off, IAC effected a one-for-two reverse stock split. All per share amounts, unless otherwise noted, reflect the impact of the reverse stock split and are not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off entities.

        In addition, on May 30, 2008, IAC sold Entertainment Publications, Inc. ("EPI"), which previously comprised IAC's Entertainment segment.

        Accordingly, the results of operations and statements of position of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com and EPI have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

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

Media & Advertising

        Media & Advertising consists of IAC Search & Media, a provider of information search and related services, Citysearch, a network of local city guide websites, and Evite, a social planning website. IAC Search & Media includes Ask and Fun Web Products and provides, among other services, information search services through Ask.com, downloadable consumer applications with web search functionalities and display, search and contextual advertising services.

Match

        The Match segment consists primarily of Match.com, as well as uDate.com, Chemistry.com and related brands, all of which offer single adults a private and convenient environment for meeting other single adults through their respective websites, as well as through Match's affiliated networks.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION (Continued)

ServiceMagic

        ServiceMagic is a leading online marketplace that connects consumers with pre-screened, customer-rated home service professionals by way of its patented and patent-pending proprietary technologies. ServiceMagic acquired ImproveNet in August 2005 and these two businesses have integrated their operations.

Emerging Businesses

        The emerging businesses consist primarily of Shoebuy, ReserveAmerica, Pronto.com, Gifts.com, College Humor and Busted Tees, as well as other early stage businesses.

Discontinued Operations

        On August 9, 2005, IAC completed the separation of its travel and travel-related businesses and investments (other than Interval and TV Travel Shop) into an independent public company. We refer to this transaction as the "Expedia spin-off" and to the new company that holds IAC's former travel and travel-related business and investments as "Expedia."

        During the second quarter of 2005, HSNi sold its 48.6% ownership interest in EUVÍA and TV Travel Shop ceased operations. During the second quarter of 2006, Quiz TV Limited, which was previously reported in our Emerging Businesses group, ceased operations. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2006, PRC, IAC's former Teleservices subsidiary, was sold and iBuy, which was also previously reported in IAC's Emerging Businesses group, was classified as held for sale. During the second quarter of 2007, iBuy's assets were sold and HSNi's German TV and internet retailer, Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated station HSE24 ("HSE"), which was previously reported in the International reporting segment of our Retailing sector, was also sold.

        On May 30, 2008, IAC sold EPI, which previously comprised IAC's Entertainment segment. In addition, on August 20, 2008, IAC completed the separation of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com into separate independent public companies.

        Accordingly, discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and cash flows include Expedia, EUVÍA, PRC and HSE through August 8, 2005, June 2, 2005, November 28, 2006 and June 19, 2007, respectively. HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com, EPI, TV Travel Shop, Quiz TV Limited and iBuy are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The notes accompanying these consolidated financial statements reflect our continuing operations and, unless otherwise noted, exclude information related to the discontinued operations. See Note 9 for additional information related to discontinued operations.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all voting controlled subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company. The Company has no variable interest entities. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

37


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee are accounted for using the cost method. The Company evaluates each cost and equity 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. Such impairment evaluations include, but are not limited to, the current business environment including competition and uncertainty of financial condition; going concern considerations such as the rate at which the investee company utilizes cash, and the investee company's ability to obtain additional private financing to fulfill its stated business plan; the need for changes to the investee company's existing business model due to changing business environments and its ability to successfully implement necessary changes; and comparable valuations. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Media & Advertising

        Media & Advertising's revenue consists primarily of advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is generated primarily through the display of paid listings in response to destination and convenience searches, as well from advertisements appearing on IAC Search & Media and third party websites and the distribution of results generated by Ask destination search websites. Citysearch and Evite's revenue is primarily generated through the sale of local and national online advertising. There are several types of internet advertisements, and the way in which ad revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned every time a graphic ad is displayed, every time a user clicks on an ad, every time a user indicates interest in the advertised topic or every time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site.

Match

        Subscription fee revenue is generated from customers who subscribe to online matchmaking services on Match.com, Chemistry.com and Match's other personals websites. Subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which range from one to twelve months.

ServiceMagic

        ServiceMagic's lead acceptance revenue is generated and recognized when an in-network home service professional is delivered a targeted customer lead. ServiceMagic's activation revenue is generated through the enrollment and activation of a new home service professional. The activation revenue is initially deferred and recognized over 36 months, which is the estimated economic life of an in-network home service professional. Deferred activation revenue totaled $2.9 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Emerging Businesses

        Shoebuy's revenue consists of merchandise sales, reduced by incentive discounts and sales returns. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, revenue is recognized when delivery to the customer

38


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


has occurred. Allowances for returned merchandise are based on past experience. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue. The costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as cost of sales.

        All other revenue generated by the Emerging Business group is recognized either upon delivery or when the service is provided.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments consist primarily of U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government agency securities and commercial paper with original maturities of less than 91 days and money market instruments.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash at December 31, 2007 and 2006 primarily includes balances required to be maintained in connection with casualty insurance coverage.

Marketable Securities

        The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). The Company invests in certain marketable securities, which consist primarily of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and municipalities and foreign sovereignties and investment grade corporate securities. The Company only invests in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and the ability to readily convert investments into cash to fund current operations, or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. The unrealized gains and losses on these securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of a security sold or the amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

        The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary 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. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded in current earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the

39


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the specific customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the customer's industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance and any gains or losses on dispositions are included in operations.

        Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of depreciable assets and leasehold improvements to operations over their estimated service lives.

Asset Category
  Depreciation Period

Computer equipment and capitalized software

  2 to 3 Years

Buildings and leasehold improvements

  3 to 39 Years

Furniture and other equipment

  3 to 10 Years

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting units that are expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

        In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount 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 amount is deemed to not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives.

Derivative Instruments

        In the normal course of business, the Company employs established policies and procedures to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates using financial instruments deemed appropriate by management. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and forward contracts, to hedge certain interest

40


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


rate and foreign exchange exposures. The Company's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, respectively, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. Derivative positions are used only to manage underlying exposures of IAC. IAC does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company formally designates and documents all of its hedging relationships as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, as applicable, and documents the strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions and its method of assessing ongoing effectiveness. IAC applies hedge accounting based upon the criteria established by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives are recorded each period in the statement of operations or other comprehensive income (loss). For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into the statement of operations when the hedged transaction affects earnings. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative in the period of change and the offsetting loss or gain of the hedged item attributed to the hedged risk are recognized in the statement of operations. See Note 15 for a description of derivative instruments.

Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online costs, including fees paid to search engines and distribution partners, as well as offline costs, including television, print and radio advertising. Advertising expense was $283.4 million, $242.4 million and $119.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Amortization of non-cash marketing consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which Vivendi Universal Entertainment LLLP ("VUE") was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE (collectively referred to as the "NBC Universal Advertising"). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost.

Income Taxes

        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 amounts 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 on deferred tax assets 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, on potential tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by the interpretation. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest 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 substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

        Foreign currency transaction net gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were net gains of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2005 were net losses of $2.5 million. Transaction gains and losses are included in "Other income (expense)" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. See Note 4 for a description of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107"), and the Company's stock compensation plans.

Minority Interest

        Minority interest in 2007, 2006 and 2005 primarily represents minority ownership in certain operations included in the Emerging Businesses group.

        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

42


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


respect to these interests. These put and call arrangements allow management to require the Company to purchase their interests or allow the Company to acquire such interests at fair value, respectively. These put and call arrangements become exercisable by the Company and the counter-party at various dates over the next eight years. During 2008, none of these arrangements that become exercisable are significant. These put arrangements are exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of the Company and are accounted for in accordance with EITF D-98 "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities." Accordingly, to the extent that the fair value of these interests exceeds the value determined by normal minority interest accounting, the value of such interests is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At and for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a $9.6 million adjustment to reflect these interests at fair value.

Accounting Estimates

        Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: recovery of marketable securities; the allowance for doubtful accounts; recoverability of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets; recovery of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; income taxes payable and deferred income taxes, including related reserves and valuation allowances; sales return and other revenue allowances; various other allowances, reserves and accruals; and, assumptions related to the determination of stock-based compensation.

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. The Company also depends on third party service providers for processing certain fulfillment services.

        Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are primarily of investment grade short to intermediate term securities, all of which are maintained with quality financial institutions of high credit. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions and are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits.

        A component of IAC's revenue is attributable to a paid listing supply agreement with Google, which was renewed in 2007 and now expires on December 31, 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, such revenue was approximately $568.1 million, $379.0 million and $127.3 million, respectively. Principally all of this revenue is earned by IAC Search & Media. Net accounts receivable related to this agreement totaled $49.6 million and $31.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively, except as it relates to disclosures, for which the effects will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value with the objective of reducing both the complexity in the accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and the effect of the measurements on earnings or changes in net assets. Among other things, SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

        The accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 have been reclassified to present HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster, Tree.com and EPI as discontinued operations. See Note 9 for additional information related to discontinued operations.

        Due to the adoption of FIN 48, $238.7 million of income tax liabilities at January 1, 2007 were reclassified from current to non-current income taxes payable as payment was not expected within twelve months of January 1, 2007.

        In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Other

        Effective April 1, 2007, the Company began to capitalize and amortize the costs associated with certain arrangements that require it to pay a fee per access point delivered. These access points are generally in the form of downloadable search toolbars associated with the Company's Media & Advertising businesses. These fees are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the access points to the extent the Company can reasonably estimate a probable future economic benefit and the period over which such benefit will be realized. Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred. Amounts capitalized from April 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 are being amortized over a period of 18 months. For fees paid prior to April 1, 2007, such benefit or period could not be reasonably estimated and the fees were charged to expense as incurred. The effect of capitalizing and amortizing these costs from April 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 was to reduce expense by $17.4 million.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

        There were no significant business acquisitions completed by the Company in 2007 or 2006.

        On July 19, 2005, IAC completed the acquisition of Ask Jeeves, now referred to as IAC Search & Media, a leading provider of world-class information retrieval technologies, brands and services that are available to consumers across a range of platforms, including destination websites, downloadable search-based applications and portals. Under the terms of the agreement, IAC issued 18.9 million shares of IAC common stock to IAC Search & Media security holders based on an exchange ratio of 1.2668 shares (or 0.3167 of a share, adjusted to reflect IAC's one-for-two reverse stock splits in August 2005 and August 2008) of IAC common stock for each share of IAC Search & Media common stock in a tax-free transaction valued as of the date of the agreement at approximately $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired. IAC also assumed options to acquire approximately 2.0 million shares of IAC common stock and assumed less than 0.1 million restricted share units. The price used to value the securities was $87.95, which was the average of the closing prices of IAC common stock during the five consecutive trading days beginning two trading days prior to the announcement of the IAC Search & Media acquisition. The amount recorded as unearned compensation was based upon the fair value of the unvested stock options and restricted stock as of the acquisition date and is being recognized as non-cash compensation over the vesting period. IAC Search & Media is included in IAC's Media & Advertising reporting segment.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

        IAC valued the identifiable intangible assets acquired and identified $406.2 million of intangible assets other than goodwill. The goodwill recognized amounted to $1.4 billion. The trade names acquired were identified as indefinite-lived intangible assets and $266.9 million was allocated to these assets. Intangibles with definite lives included existing technology ($108.7 million), distribution agreements ($4.6 million), customer lists ($17.1 million), advertising relationships ($4.2 million) and other ($4.7 million) and are being amortized over a weighted-average period of 4.3 years. None of the amount allocated to goodwill is tax deductible. The consideration for IAC Search & Media was based on historical as well as expected performance metrics. The Company viewed IAC Search & Media's revenue, operating income, Operating Income Before Amortization, net income and cash flow as its most important valuation metrics. The Company agreed to consideration that resulted in recognition of a significant amount of goodwill for a number of reasons including: IAC Search & Media's market position and brand; IAC Search & Media's business model which complements the business models of the Company's other businesses; growth opportunities in the markets in which IAC Search & Media operates; and IAC Search & Media's distinctly unique, proprietary and exclusive service lines which should enable the Company to grow. As a result, the predominant portion of the consideration was based on the expected financial performance of IAC Search & Media and not the asset value on the books of IAC Search & Media at the time of acquisition.

NOTE 4—SFAS 123R AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method and has applied the classification provisions of SAB 107 regarding the SEC's interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

        The adoption of SFAS 123R did not impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, since the Company had previously adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). On August 9, 2005, the Company began recognizing expense for all stock-based compensation instruments granted prior to January 1, 2003 due to the modification of all such instruments in connection with the Expedia spin-off. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the entire tax benefit from stock-based compensation was reported as a component of operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations are reported as a component of financing cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $75.4 million and $11.2 million, respectively, are included as a component of financing cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2005, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $86.0 million is included as a component of operating cash flows.

        The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings available to common shareholders and net earnings per share as if the fair value-based method under SFAS No. 123 had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for the year ended December 31, 2005:

Diluted pro forma

  $ 4.90  

        Pro forma information is determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted prior to December 31, 2002 under the fair value-based method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In conjunction with the Expedia spin-off and the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company conducted an assessment of certain assumptions used in determining the expense related to stock-based compensation. This assessment was completed in the third quarter of 2005. The cumulative effect of the change in the Company's estimate related to the number of stock-based awards that were expected to vest resulted in a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million which is included in continuing operations and $38.1 million which is included in discontinued operations ($35.3 million related to Expedia). The after-tax effect of this change in estimate on earnings and earnings per share from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and net income is $1.7 million or $0.01 per share, $23.7 million or $0.13 per share and $25.5 million or $0.14 per share, respectively. In addition, the deduction line item in the table above included in the determination of pro forma expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, includes a favorable adjustment of $20.6 million due to the cumulative effect of the change in the Company's estimate related to the number of stock-based awards that were expected to vest. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period on a straight-line basis.

        IAC currently has two active plans under which future awards may be granted, both of which currently cover outstanding stock options to acquire shares of IAC common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and restricted stock, as well as provide for the future grant of these and other equity awards. These plans are: the IAC 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated IAC 2000 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan. Under the IAC 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, the Company was originally authorized to grant stock options, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, and other equity based awards for up to 12.5 million shares of IAC common stock, adjusted to reflect IAC's one-for-two reverse stock split in August 2008. Under IAC's 2000 Stock

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 4—SFAS 123R AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)


and Annual Incentive Plan, the Company is authorized to grant stock options, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, and other equity based awards and the number of shares that remained available for future awards pursuant to the authorizations under this plan was adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock splits in August 2005 and August 2008 and the Expedia spin-off. Both of the active plans described above authorize the Company to grant awards to its employees, officers, directors and consultants.

        In addition, both of the plans described above have a stated term of ten years and provide that the exercise price of stock options granted will not be less than the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The plans do not specify grant dates or vesting schedules as those determinations have been delegated to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of IAC's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Each grant agreement reflects the vesting schedule for that particular grant as determined by the Committee. Broad-based stock option awards to date have generally vested in equal annual installments over a four-year period (see below for a description of 5-year cliff vesting options granted to the Company's Chairman), and RSU awards to date have generally vested in equal annual installments over a five-year period, in each case, from the grant date. PSU awards to date will generally cliff vest at the end of a three-year period from the date of grant. In addition to equity awards outstanding under the two active plans discussed above, stock options and other equity awards outstanding under terminated plans and plans assumed in acquisitions are reflected in the information set forth below.

        Non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs is included in the following line items in the accompanying statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

  $ 46,767   $ 43,527   $ 58,120  
               

        The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the amount recorded is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimated rate.

        In connection with the Expedia spin-off, all outstanding share-based compensation instruments of the Company were modified. Accordingly, on August 9, 2005, the Company recorded a pre-tax modification charge of $67.0 million related to the treatment of vested stock options, of which $55.3 million is included in continuing operations and $11.7 million is included in discontinued operations.

        The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock options granted by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Approximately 6.4 million stock options were granted and assumed in acquisitions by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2005.

        The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including expected volatility and expected term. For purposes of this model, no dividends have been assumed. Expected stock price volatilities are estimated based on the Company's historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates are based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with comparable terms as the awards, in effect at the grant date. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercise patterns, giving consideration to expectations of future employee behavior. The following are the weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the year ended December 31, 2005: volatility factor of 42%, risk-free interest rate of 4.1%, expected term of 6.5 years, and a dividend yield of zero.

        The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2005 at market prices equal to IAC's common stock on the grant date was $48.96.

        In June 2005, the Company granted stock options to its Chairman at exercise prices greater than market value on the date of grant with a 10-year term and cliff vesting at the end of five years, and with accelerated vesting upon certain types of termination of employment or upon a change of control. The weighted average exercise price and the weighted average fair value related to these grants were $80.24 and $55.80, respectively.

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between IAC's closing stock price on the last trading day of 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2007. This amount changes based on the fair market value of IAC's common stock. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $175.9 million, $151.7 million and $428.4 million, respectively.

        Cash received from stock option exercises and the related tax benefit realized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005: were $39.3 million and $88.2 million; $104.7 million and $25.2 million; and $99.4 million and $164.1 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

        RSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock and with the value of each RSU equal to the fair value of IAC common stock at the date of grant. RSUs may be settled in cash, stock or both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant. With the exception of awards to non-U.S. employees, which are settled in cash, all awards are settled in stock. Each restricted stock, RSU and PSU grant is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. PSUs also include performance-based vesting, where certain performance targets set at the time of grant must be achieved before an award vests. The Company recognizes expense for all restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs for which vesting is considered probable. For restricted stock and RSU grants to U.S. employees, the accounting charge is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed ratably as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. For PSU grants to U.S. employees, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC

common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation when the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved.

        The expense associated with RSU awards to non-U.S. employees is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting term, subject to mark-to-market adjustments for changes in the price of IAC common stock, as compensation expense within general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, approximately 0.2 million, 0.2 million and 0.1 million international awards were outstanding, respectively. Cash payments related to awards to international employees, including employees of businesses currently presented within discontinued operations, totaled $3.3 million, $1.9 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Nonvested restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows:

(a)
In February 2007, the Company granted PSUs which cliff vest at the end of three years in varying amounts depending upon growth in the Company's metric, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, with certain modifications. These PSUs provided for an opportunity for a number of shares to vest equal to 200% of the initial "target" award. In connection with the Spin-Off the majority of the PSUs will be converted into non-performance based RSUs at the "target" award, some of which will vest upon the Spin-Off and the remainder will cliff vest at the end of three years from the original date of grant. The PSU table above includes these awards on an as converted basis.

        The weighted average fair value of restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs granted during years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 based on market prices of IAC's common stock on the grant date was $74.96, $58.90 and $51.92, respectively. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $39.5 million $53.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $41.6 million, $39.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively.

        In connection with the acquisitions of certain of its operating subsidiaries, and the funding of certain start-up businesses, IAC has granted restricted equity and phantom equity units in the relevant business to certain members of the business' management. These management equity awards vest over a period of years or upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. When acquiring or funding these

51

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 4—SFAS 123R AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)


entities, IAC has taken a preferred interest in the entity with a face value equal to the acquisition price or its investment cost, which accretes paid-in-kind dividends at a prescribed rate of return. The value of the restricted equity awards and phantom equity units is tied to the value of the common stock of the entity, with management as a whole generally receiving a small minority of the total common stock outstanding. Accordingly, these interests only have value to the extent the relevant business appreciates at a greater rate than the relevant preferred dividend, but can have significant value in the event of significant appreciation. The interests are ultimately settled through varying put/call arrangements or on fixed settlement dates in common stock or cash at the option of IAC, with fair market value determined by negotiation or arbitration. The expense associated with these equity awards is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and is amortized ratably as non-cash compensation over the vesting term.

        Effective January 1, 2006, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of LendingTree was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of IAC ("COO"). In connection with his promotion, the terms and conditions of a portion of the COO's existing unvested management equity awards were modified (the "Modification"). In connection with the Modification, (i) a portion of the unvested management equity awards was exchanged for shares of IAC restricted stock, which will vest if certain service and performance conditions established by the Committee are met, and (ii) the terms and conditions applicable to the valuation and settlement of another portion of the unvested management equity awards were amended. The total incremental compensation cost resulting from the Modification was $8.7 million which is being recognized ratably over the vesting period. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, $4.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of the incremental compensation cost associated with the Modification was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

        Included in "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is a non-current deferred tax asset of $88.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In addition, included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 is a current deferred tax liability of $5.4 million.

        At December 31, 2007, the Company had federal and state net operating losses ("NOLs") of approximately $95.7 million and $381.4 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal NOLs will expire at various times between 2010 and 2027, and the state NOLs will expire at various times between 2008 and 2027. Utilization of federal NOLs will be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, utilization of certain state NOLs may be subject to limitations under state laws similar to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. At December 31, 2007, the Company had foreign NOLs of approximately $14.8 million available to offset future income. Of these foreign NOLs, approximately $12.0 million can be carried forward indefinitely,

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES (Continued)


and approximately $1.8 million and $1.0 million will expire within five years and ten years, respectively. During 2007, the Company recognized tax benefits related to NOLs of approximately $4.3 million. Included in this amount was approximately $3.6 million of tax benefits of acquired attributes which was recorded as a reduction of goodwill.

        At December 31, 2007, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of approximately $7.2 million. Of this amount, approximately $4.4 million related to federal and state tax credits for increasing research activities, $2.0 million related to federal credits for foreign taxes and $0.8 million related to various state and local tax credits. If not utilized, the credit carryforwards will expire at various times between 2010 and 2025.

        During 2007, the Company's valuation allowance decreased by approximately $3.6 million. This decrease was primarily related to the write-off of previously unbenefitted deferred tax assets for state and foreign NOLs. Included in this amount was a valuation allowance decrease of $0.7 million recorded as a reduction to goodwill and relates to the net benefit of acquired tax attributes. At December 31, 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $22.3 million related to the portion of tax operating loss carryforwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized. Of this amount, approximately $4.4 million will be applied as a reduction of goodwill or an increase of additional paid-in-capital, if recognized in future years.

        In accordance with APB No. 23, no federal and state income taxes have been provided on permanently reinvested earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries aggregating approximately $27.1 million at December 31, 2007. The amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability with respect to such earnings is $0.6 million.

        The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in an increase of $420.7 million to retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, is as follows:

        As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, were $239.5 million and $271.0 million, respectively. In addition unrecognized benefits, including interest are included in "Assets held for sale" and "Non-current liabilities of discontinued operations" of $4.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2007. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007 is approximately $150.7 million for tax positions which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. If unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 are subsequently recognized, approximately $43.8 million and $40.1 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

        The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $10.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $6.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 the Company has accrued $16.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals 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 deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known.

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES (Continued)

        In 2005, the Joint Committee of Taxation completed its review and approved the audit settlement previously agreed to with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended December 31, 1997 through 2000. The resolution of this IRS examination did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or its consolidated financial position. The IRS is currently examining the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2008. Various state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are Florida, New York and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001. These examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $39.8 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due to settlements and the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT INFORMATION

        The overall concept that IAC employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered or the target market. Entities included in discontinued operations, as described in Note 1 and Note 9, are excluded from the schedules below except for the schedule of assets, in which they are included in corporate and other. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."

(a)
Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (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 consolidated 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, non-cash marketing, and acquisition-related accounting. 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.

        The Company maintains operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and other international territories. Geographic information about the United States and international territories is presented below:

        In the third quarter of 2007, certain auction rate securities had failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. Of the $326.8 million of marketable securities at December 31, 2007, $14.7 million, net of an unrealized loss of approximately $0.3 million, was associated with failed auctions. These auction rate securities are rated AAA. As of December 31, 2007, the unrealized loss related to these securities is not considered to be an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company does not hold any other auction rate securities.

        Substantially all of the Company's fixed income securities are rated investment grade or better. The gross unrealized losses related to fixed income securities were due primarily to changes in interest rates. The Company's management has determined that the gross unrealized losses on its available-for-sale marketable securities at December 31, 2007 are temporary in nature. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized $15.0 million of losses that were deemed to be other-than-temporary related to available-for-sale marketable securities that were sold by the Company to fund its cash needs related to: the repurchase of 13.2 million shares of IAC common stock associated with the acquisition of IAC Search & Media; and the redemption of substantially all of IAC's preferred stock for $656 million in connection with the Expedia spin-off. There was no other than temporary impairment charge recorded in 2007 or 2006.

        During the year ended December 31, 2007, $0.4 million of net unrealized losses included within other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006 were recognized into earnings.

        Investments accounted for under the cost method are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and have a carrying value of $22.2 million and $21.9 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        On June 19, 2007, as part of the consideration for the sale of HSE to Arcandor AG ("ARO"), formerly known as KarstadtQuelle AG, IAC received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock valued at €141 million or $190.1 million. The ARO stock is an available-for-sale marketable security that is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, and is included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, with a carrying value of $130.8 million at December 31, 2007. Included within other comprehensive income at December 31, 2007 was an unrealized loss of $46.1 million related to this marketable security, which is recorded net of a deferred tax benefit of $28.9 million. The severity of the unrealized loss (fair value is approximately 37% less than cost) and duration of the unrealized loss (less than 6 months) are consistent with the weak and adverse conditions affecting the market in which Arcandor operates. The Company evaluated the prospects of Arcandor in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss. Based on that evaluation and the Company's ability and intent to hold the ARO stock for a reasonable period of time sufficient for

NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE (Continued)

(d)
Weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, vesting of restricted stock units and conversion of the Company's Convertible Notes and preferred stock if the effect is dilutive. Because the Company had a loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders in 2007 and 2006, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the denominator for computing dilutive earnings per share, since their impact on earnings per share from continuing operations would be anti-dilutive. In accordance with SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share," the same shares are used to compute all earnings per share amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, approximately 28.7 million, 33.7 million and 17.0 million shares, respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 12—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        All IAC common stock share information and related per share prices included in this note have been adjusted to reflect IAC's one-for-two reverse stock split in August 2008 but are not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off entities.

Description of Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock

        The following is a description of IAC's common stock before and after the Spin-Off. There were no changes to the terms of IAC's common stock as a result of the Spin-Off.

        With respect to matters that may be submitted to a vote or for the consent of IAC's shareholders generally, including the election of directors, each holder of shares of IAC common stock, IAC Class B common stock and IAC preferred stock vote together as a single class. In connection with any such vote, each holder of IAC common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of IAC common stock held, each holder of IAC Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of IAC Class B common stock held and each holder of IAC preferred stock is entitled to two votes for each share of IAC preferred stock held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect 25% of the total number of IAC's directors, and, in the event that 25% of the total number of directors shall result in a fraction of a director, then the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect the next higher whole number of IAC's directors. In addition, Delaware law requires that certain matters be approved by the holders of shares of IAC common stock, holders of IAC Class B common stock or holders of IAC preferred stock voting as a separate class.

        Shares of IAC Class B common stock are convertible into shares of IAC common stock at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, on a share-for-share basis. Such conversion ratio will in all events be equitably preserved in the event of any recapitalization of IAC by means of a stock dividend on, or a stock split or combination of, outstanding shares of IAC common stock or IAC Class B common stock, or in the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization of IAC with another corporation. Upon the conversion of shares of IAC Class B common stock into shares of IAC common stock, those shares of IAC Class B common stock will be retired and will not be subject to reissue. Shares of IAC common stock are not convertible into shares of IAC Class B common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 12—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

        Except as described herein, shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock are identical. The holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, such dividends as may be declared by IAC's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of IAC, the holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, all the assets of IAC available for distribution to its stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the IAC preferred stock have been satisfied.

        In the event that IAC issues or proposes to issue any shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock (with certain limited exceptions), including shares issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange of options, warrants and convertible securities, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") will have preemptive rights that entitle it to purchase, subject to a cap, a number of IAC common shares so that Liberty will maintain the identical ownership interest in IAC that Liberty had immediately prior to such issuance or proposed issuance. Any purchase by Liberty will be allocated between IAC common stock and Class B common stock in the same proportion as the issuance or issuances giving rise to the preemptive right, except to the extent that Liberty opts to acquire shares of IAC common stock in lieu of shares of IAC Class B common stock. Liberty has not been entitled to exercise any of its preemptive rights in 2007 and 2006 as its ownership has exceeded the established cap.

Description of Preferred Stock

        IAC's Board of Directors has the authority to designate, by resolution, the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of preferred stock issued by IAC without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over shares of IAC common stock and shares of IAC Class B common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both.

        Immediately prior to the Spin-Off all outstanding preferred stock was redeemed. Therefore, the following description of IAC's preferred stock has not been adjusted to reflect IAC's one-for-two reverse stock split in August 2008.

        At December 31, 2007 and 2006, 758 and 846 shares, respectively, of IAC Series B preferred stock were outstanding. Shares of IAC Series B preferred stock accrue dividends at 1.99%, payable quarterly in cash or stock at IAC's option. The Company paid cash dividends of approximately $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, in respect of IAC Series A and Series B preferred stock. The aggregate dollar amount of cash dividends paid in respect of IAC Series B preferred stock for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was de minimis.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 128, for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company uses the if-converted method of calculating the dilutive effect of the IAC Series B preferred stock and prior to the completion of the Expedia spin-off, used this method for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of the IAC Series A preferred stock. Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period if the conversion of those shares would be dilutive.

Note Receivable from Key Executive for Common Stock Issuance

        In connection with the employment of Barry Diller as Chief Executive Officer in August 1995, the Company agreed to sell Mr. Diller 441,988 shares of IAC common stock ("Diller Shares") at $22.6252 per share for cash and a non-recourse promissory note in the approximate amount of $5.0 million, secured by approximately 265,000 shares of IAC common stock. The promissory note was due and paid in full on September 5, 2007.

Stockholders Agreement

        Mr. Diller, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, through his own holdings, and holdings of Liberty, BDTV, Inc., BDTV II, Inc., BDTV III, Inc. and BDTV IV, Inc., over which Mr. Diller has voting control pursuant to the amended and restated stockholders agreement, dated as of August 9, 2005, between Liberty and Mr. Diller, had the right to vote approximately 20.2% (26,101,115 shares) of IAC's outstanding common stock, and 100% (12,799,999 shares) of IAC's outstanding Class B common stock at December 31, 2007. As a result, Mr. Diller controlled 59.9% of the outstanding total voting power of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and is effectively able to control the outcome of nearly all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Liberty holds substantially all of the economic interest in, and Mr. Diller holds all of the voting power in, the shares of IAC stock held by the BDTV entities listed above.

Reserved Common Shares

caption "Other" noted in the table above, Expedia is obligated to issue to the same warrant holders Expedia common stock for their portion of the obligation that arose from the Expedia spin-off.

        In addition to the warrants outstanding as noted above, Hotels.com entered into several exclusive affiliate distribution and marketing agreements and issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to affiliates if they achieved performance targets. On April 15, 2006, contingently issuable warrants to acquire 0.3 million shares of IAC common stock under such agreements assumed as part of the Hotels.com merger expired unexercised. At December 31, 2006 there were no contingently issuable warrants remaining outstanding.

        During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 there were approximately 250, 2,000 and 77,500 warrants exercised, respectively. No warrants were issued during the three year period ended December 31, 2007.

Common Stock Repurchases

        Pursuant to the authorizations from its Board of Directors, during 2007 and 2006, IAC purchased 7.8 million and 18.2 million shares of IAC common stock for aggregate consideration of $508.6 million and $999.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2007, IAC had approximately 25.4 million shares remaining in its authorizations.

Common Stock Exchangeable for Preferred Interest

        On June 7, 2005, IAC completed a transaction with NBC Universal in which IAC sold its common and preferred interests in VUE for approximately $3.4 billion in aggregate consideration, which consideration included 14.2 million shares of IAC capital stock, valued at $1.4 billion. See Note 13 for further discussion of the sale by IAC of its common and preferred interests in VUE. Immediately prior to the completion of this transaction, NBC Universal beneficially owned 10.8 million shares of IAC common stock and 3.4 million shares of IAC Class B common stock (for a total of 14.2 million IAC shares).

NOTE 13—EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

        At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company's equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates totaled $148.0 million and $94.0 million, respectively, and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        During 2007, the Company invested $256.2 million in entities that are accounted for under the equity method. The most significant investment made by the Company was in Front Line Management Group, Inc. ("Front Line"), which included the conversion of a $26.5 million convertible note. On August 9, 2007, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Front Line to Warner Music Group at the same per share price that the Company paid to acquire its investment in Front Line. In connection with the Spin-Off, IAC transferred its equity investment in Front Line to Ticketmaster.

        In the third quarter of 2006, IAC began accounting for its investment in Points under the equity method due to IAC's increased representation on the board of directors of Points. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2006, IAC sold its equity investment in BET, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.5 million and an after-tax gain of $2.6 million.

        Through June 7, 2005, IAC beneficially owned 5.44% of the partnership common equity of VUE, plus certain preferred interests of VUE. This common interest was accounted for using the equity method. On June 7, 2005, IAC sold its common and preferred interests in VUE to NBC Universal for approximately $3.4 billion in aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $1.9 billion in cash, 14.2 million IAC common shares formerly held by NBC Universal and $115 million of television advertising time that NBC Universal initially agreed to provide through its media outlets over a three-year period. Based upon the closing price of IAC common stock on June 7, 2005 of $98.56, the

14.2 million IAC common shares had a market value of approximately $1.4 billion. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $523.5 million and an after-tax gain of $322.1 million. In 2007, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain related to the 2005 sale of its common interest in VUE of $16.7 million representing amounts received due to the resolution of certain contingencies.

        Prior to the sale, the statement of operations data relating to VUE was historically recorded on a one-quarter lag due to the timing of receiving information from the partnership. During the fourth quarter of 2004, VUE recorded a charge related to asset impairments. Due to the one-quarter lag noted above, IAC recorded its share of the charge in the first quarter of 2005. Equity in income of VUE recognized in the year ended December 31, 2005 represents IAC's share in VUE's 2004 fourth quarter results as well as IAC's share of VUE's results from January 1, 2005 through June 7, 2005.

        At December 31, 2007, current maturities of long-term obligations and short-term borrowings consist primarily of the Ask Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes. At December 31, 2006, current maturities of long-term obligations and short-term borrowings consist primarily of a mortgage payable included in Other long-term obligations above.

        On July 19, 2005, as part of the IAC Search & Media acquisition, IAC guaranteed $115.0 million par value of the Ask Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2008 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of both IAC and Expedia common stock at an initial conversion price of $13.34 per share (not adjusted for the one-for-two reverse stock split as all this debt matured prior to August 2008), subject to certain adjustments. Upon conversion, IAC and Expedia may elect to deliver the cash equivalent in lieu of such shares of its respective common stock. See Note 15 for a description of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off. At December 31, 2007, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding was $12.3 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the Convertible Notes were fully converted, thus IAC's guarantee of these notes was extinguished.

        In connection with the financing of the construction of IAC's corporate headquarters, on August 31, 2005, the New York City Industrial Development Agency (the "Agency") issued $80 million in aggregate principal amount of New York City Industrial Development Agency Liberty Bonds (IAC/InterActiveCorp Project), Series 2005 (the "Liberty Bonds"). IAC is obligated to make all principal, interest and other payments in respect of the Liberty Bonds pursuant to certain security and payment arrangements between IAC and the Agency, which arrangements were entered into in connection with the closing of the Liberty Bond issuance. IAC's payment obligation under the Liberty Bonds is collateralized by a mortgage interest in the corporate headquarters building.

        At December 31, 2007, the Company has outstanding two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $200 million and $150 million, respectively, in each case related to a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes. During 2005 and 2004 the Company unwound swap agreements with notional amounts of $50 million and $350 million, respectively, for nominal gains, which are being amortized over the remaining life of the 2002 Senior Notes. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006 resulted in gains of $4.5 million and losses of $11.7 million, respectively, which have been recognized as adjustments to the carrying value of the corresponding debt.

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivatives Related to Long-term Debt

        IAC's objective in managing its exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt is to maintain its mix of floating rate and fixed rate debt within a certain range. IAC's risk management policy enables IAC to manage its exposure to the impact of interest rate changes. As such, from time to time, IAC may enter into interest rate swap transactions designated as fair value hedges with financial institutions to modify the interest characteristics on a portion of its long-term debt. In 2004 and 2003, the Company entered into various interest rate swap agreements related to a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes, which effectively changed the Company's interest rate exposure on a portion of the debt from fixed to floating. As of December 31, 2007, of the $750 million total principal amount of the 2002 Senior Notes, the interest rate is fixed on $400 million and the balance of $350 million has been swapped to floating based on the spread over 6-month LIBOR. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2007 and 2006 resulted in gains of $4.5 million and losses of $11.7 million, respectively. The fair value of the contracts is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in "Other non-current assets" at December 31, 2007 and "Other long-term liabilities" at December 31, 2006 with a corresponding offset to the carrying value of the related debt. The derivative gain or loss in the period of change and the offsetting hedged item loss or gain attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivatives Created in the Expedia Spin-Off

        As a result of the IAC Search & Media acquisition, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, holders would receive shares of IAC common stock or the cash equivalent of such shares, at the Company's option. Following the Expedia spin-off on August 9, 2005, IAC became obligated to deliver shares of both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock to the holders upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. IAC and Expedia may elect to deliver the cash equivalent in lieu of such shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. This obligation represents a derivative liability in IAC's accompanying consolidated balance sheet because it is not denominated solely in shares of IAC common stock. This derivative liability was valued at $13.5 million and $22.8 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Under the separation agreement related to the Expedia spin-off, Expedia contractually assumed the obligation to deliver shares of Expedia common stock or the cash equivalent of such shares to IAC upon conversion by the holders of the Convertible Notes. This represents a derivative asset in IAC's accompanying consolidated balance sheet valued at $14.6 million and $15.9 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Both of these derivatives are maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The net change in the fair value of these derivatives for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 resulted in net gains of $5.2 million, net losses of $9.1 million and net gains of $4.4 million, respectively, which have been recognized in "Other income (expense)" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and in operating activities attributable to continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. At December 31, 2007, the derivative asset related to the Convertible Notes is recorded in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and the derivative liability related to the Convertible Notes is recorded in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2007, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding was $12.3 million.

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Derivative Created in the Sale of HSE

        On June 19, 2007, in consideration for the sale of HSE to Arcandor AG, formerly known as KarstadtQuelle AG, IAC received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock valued at €141 million (the "ARO Shares"), plus additional consideration in the form of a derivative asset, that has a value of up to €54 million within three years. The ultimate value of the derivative asset is dependent, in part, upon the average value of the ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). To the extent that the Average Value of the ARO Shares is equal to or less than €141 million, IAC will receive a cash payment equal to € 54 million. To the extent that the Average Value of the ARO Shares is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. To the extent that the Average Value of the ARO Shares is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the value of the ARO Shares equals or exceeds €35.68 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days during the three year period from June 20, 2007 through June 19, 2010, the derivative asset expires without any payment being made. The derivative asset is maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The change in the fair value of this derivative asset for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted in a gain of $24.1 million which has been recognized in "Other income (expense)" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and in operating activities attributable to continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. At December 31, 2007, the derivative asset, valued at $54.7 million, is recorded in "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 17—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 reasonably possible and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us 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. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 7 for discussion related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 20—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Continuing Operations

        In connection with the Expedia spin-off, the Company and Expedia entered into various agreements, including, among others, a separation agreement, a tax sharing agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement. In addition, in connection with and following the Expedia spin-off, the Company and Expedia have entered into various commercial agreements, which generally include distribution agreements, services agreements and advertising agreements. Certain of these agreements were entered into with entities that were spun-off or sold and, accordingly, related activity is described in discontinued operations. Total amounts received by the Company from Expedia related to these various agreements in 2007, 2006 and from August 9, 2005 to December 31, 2005 were approximately $3.1 million, $4.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Amounts receivable by the Company from Expedia related to these various agreements at both December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.4 million and was included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the accompanying consolidated

balance sheet. Total payments made by the Company to Expedia related to these various agreements in 2007, 2006 and from August 9, 2005 to December 31, 2005 were approximately $0.1 million, $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Amounts payable to Expedia by the Company related to these various agreements were less than $0.1 million at both December 31, 2007 and 2006 and are included in "Accounts payable, trade" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company and Expedia expect these commercial relationships to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company and Expedia are related parties since they are under common control.

        In addition, each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest in an aircraft that may be used by both companies. Members of this aircraft's flight crew are employed by an entity in which each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest. IAC and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits equally, for which they are separately billed. During 2007 and 2006, total payments of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were made to this entity by each of IAC and Expedia.

        On August 9, 2007, the Company sold a portion of its investment in Front Line to the Warner Music Group for approximately $109.9 million. The sale did not result in a recognized gain or loss because the investment was sold at the same per share price that the Company paid to acquire the investment. Warner Music Group is a related party because its Chairman is one of the Company's board members.

        The Company has various agreements with Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"), which was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of IAC's outstanding common stock during 2006 and 2005. These agreements include partner agreements, licensing agreements and support agreements with various subsidiaries, including Match.com. Total fees paid related to these agreements in 2006 and 2005 were approximately $43.2 million and $27.7 million, respectively. Amounts payable related to these various agreements at December 31, 2006 were $3.1 million and are included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In the first quarter of 2007, Microsoft publicly disclosed that it was no longer the beneficial owner of 5% or more of IAC's outstanding common stock, and as a result, it is no longer a related party.

        The Company had a secured, non-recourse note receivable of approximately $5.0 million from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. This note receivable was paid in full on September 5, 2007.

        In October 2000, a subsidiary of IAC and Nineteen Forty CC Inc. ("Nineteen Forty"), a company owned by Mr. Diller, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC, acquired an aircraft for use by the Company. In connection with this transaction, IAC granted Nineteen Forty an option to acquire IAC's interest in the aircraft for its depreciated value on IAC's books. The aircraft was owned 77.2% by the IAC subsidiary and 22.8% by Nineteen Forty. IAC had entered into an agreement with Nineteen Forty pursuant to which IAC leased Nineteen Forty's 22.8% interest in the aircraft for lease payments of approximately $53 thousand per month and IAC paid all operating and maintenance expenses related to the aircraft. The foregoing terms were based on market lease rates for similar aircraft leases. This aircraft was sold in May 2007, at which point the related lease terminated in accordance with its terms. Nineteen Forty's option to acquire IAC's interest in the aircraft was not exercised in connection with the sale.

        IAC invested $0.5 million annually from 2004 through 2006 in convertible preferred stock of an online start-up venture controlled by IAC's Vice Chairman, Victor Kaufman. IAC has committed to

invest a total of $2 million, which resulted in IAC receiving preferred stock convertible into 20% of the outstanding common stock of the venture. IAC has various approval rights over significant transactions, the right to appoint directors to the board of directors proportionate to its holdings, and various forms of anti-dilution protection for its investment. It also has the option to purchase additional preferred stock for $20 million such that IAC would hold a 50% ownership percentage in the venture, the right to purchase Mr. Kaufman's shares on March 31, 2012 (or earlier under certain circumstances in the event that Mr. Kaufman is no longer the senior-most executive of the venture) at fair market value, and the right to put its investment to the venture at the time of the venture's first significant financing for the value of its stake implied by the terms of such financing, discounted by 30% to account for the illiquidity of the stock.

        During 2005, the Company received $32.7 million which represents interest income on the VUE Series B preferred equity interests.

        During 2005, the Company recognized $18.3 million which represents paid-in-kind interest income on the VUE Series A preferred equity interests.

        PRC and Ticketmaster received payments from Expedia in connection with call center outsourcing services. PRC received $20.4 million and $6.2 million for such services in the year ended December 31, 2006 and from August 9, 2005, the day of the Expedia spin-off, through December 31, 2005, respectively. Ticketmaster received $3.0 million, $3.8 million and $0.7 million for such services in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and from August 9, 2005, the day of the Expedia spin-off, through December 31, 2005, respectively.

        Interval has an agreement with Arise Virtual Solutions (formerly Willow CSN) relating to outsourced call center services provided by Interval to its members. During 2007 and 2006, total payments of approximately $3.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were made to Arise. Arise is considered a related party because one of the Company's board members is a partner of Accretive LLC, which owns Arise Virtual Solutions.

        The Company has various agreements with Microsoft, which was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of IAC's outstanding common stock during 2006 and 2005. These agreements include partner agreements, licensing agreements and support agreements. Total fees paid by Tree.com with respect to these agreements in 2006 and 2005 were approximately $21.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Total fees paid by Expedia with respect to these agreements from January 1, 2005 through August 8, 2005, the day prior to the Expedia spin-off, were approximately $13.1 million. In the first quarter of 2007, Microsoft publicly disclosed that it was no longer the beneficial owner of 5% or more of IAC's outstanding common stock, and as a result, it is no longer a related party.

        During the period from January 1, 2005 through June 6, 2005, the day prior to the sale of the Company's VUE interests, Expedia and Tree.com paid $8.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, to the National Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of GE, related to television advertising. Additionally, HSNi launched a co-branded credit card program with a subsidiary of GE during 2004. Pursuant to this arrangement, HSNi received approximately $1.9 million during the period from January 1, 2005 through June 6, 2005 in payments from the GE subsidiary, primarily in the form of revenue share payments in respect of purchases made pursuant to the co-branded card and sales and marketing

NOTE 22—BENEFIT PLANS

        IAC has a retirement savings plan in the United States that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to 16% (50% effective September 1, 2007) of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. IAC contributes fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes in this plan, with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings. Matching contributions for all plans were $4.6 million, $3.3 million and $1.5 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The increase in matching contributions in both 2007 and 2006 is primarily related to increased participation in the plan. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan. Investment options in the plan include IAC common stock, but neither participant nor matching contributions are required to be invested in IAC common stock.

        IAC also has or participates in various benefit plans, principally defined contribution plans, for its international employees. IAC's contributions for these plans were $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
