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:

•

IAC, which includes:



•

the businesses comprising its Media & Advertising segment;



•

the Match and ServiceMagic segments;



•

the businesses comprising its Emerging Businesses segment, including Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were formerly included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster segments, respectively; and



•

certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates.



•

HSN, Inc. ("HSNi"), which includes HSN TV, HSN.com, and the Cornerstone Brands, Inc. portfolio of catalogs, websites and retail locations;



•

Interval Leisure Group, Inc. ("ILG"), which includes the businesses that comprised the Interval segment;



•

Ticketmaster, which includes its primary domestic and international operations as well as certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates; and



•

Tree.com, Inc. ("Tree.com"), which includes the businesses that comprised the Lending and Real Estate segments.

        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 share information, unless otherwise noted, reflects the impact of the reverse stock split and is not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off businesses.

        The results of operations of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

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

        During the first quarter of 2008, in contemplation of the Spin-Off, IAC reorganized its then existing Retailing, Ticketmaster and Emerging Businesses reporting segments. Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were previously included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster reporting segments, respectively, are now included in the Emerging Businesses segment. Information for all prior periods has been reclassified to conform with the current year segment presentation.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. For further information, refer to the

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended.

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 amounts 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; recovery of derivative 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.

Long-term Investments

        On June 19, 2007, as part of the consideration for the sale of Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated TV station HSE 24 ("HSE") to Arcandor AG ("ARO"), IAC received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock (the "ARO Shares") valued at €141 million or $190.1 million plus additional consideration in the form of a contingent value right ("CVR"). The CVR has a value of up to €54 million within three years from the date of sale. The ultimate value of the CVR is dependent, in part, upon the average closing value of the ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). To the extent that the Average Value 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 is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. To the extent that the Average Value is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the closing value of an ARO share 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 CVR expires without any payment being made. The CVR is accounted for as a derivative asset and maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized in current earnings as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations each period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in a loss of $5.1 million and a gain of $5.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in gains of $5.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due in part to an increase in the discount rate related to credit risk. The CVR was valued at $58.6 million at September 30, 2008 and $54.7 million at December 31, 2007. The ARO stock is an available-for-sale marketable equity security that is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and is included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, with a carrying value of $18.4 million at September 30, 2008 and $130.8 million at December 31, 2007. During the second quarter of 2008, the

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Company concluded that the decline in price of the ARO Shares was other-than-temporary and thus recorded a $132.6 million impairment charge that is included in "Other (expense) income" for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The loss was determined to be other-than-temporary due to (1) the significant, 72% decline in the ARO stock price from €25.90 at June 19, 2007 to €7.38 at June 30, 2008, and the duration of the decline in the ARO stock price and (2) the Company's assessment of the near-to-medium term prospects for a recovery to levels proximate to the initial carrying value of the ARO Shares. During the third quarter of 2008, the ARO stock price declined further from €7.38 at June 30, 2008 to €2.33 at September 30, 2008. The Company does not believe that this decline is other-than-temporary due to the duration of the stock price decline and the Company's assessment of the prospects for a recovery to a €7.38 price level during the Company's expected holding period. Accordingly, the €27.6 million or $40.4 million decline in the ARO stock price during the third quarter of 2008 has been recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.

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.

Reclassifications

        The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been reclassified to present HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com as discontinued operations. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 have been reclassified to present HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster,

Tree.com and Entertainment Publications, Inc. ("EPI"), which previously comprised IAC's Entertainment segment, as discontinued operations.

        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 (generally 18 months). Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred. 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 was to reduce expense by $5.1 million and $12.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 3—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        The balance of goodwill and intangible assets, net is as follows (in thousands):

        Intangible assets with indefinite lives relate to trade names and trademarks acquired in various acquisitions. At September 30, 2008, intangible assets with definite lives relate to the following (in thousands):

NOTE 5—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 6, 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."

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 5—SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)

        The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization of non-cash marketing, (3) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (4) goodwill impairment, (5) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (6) 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.

NOTE 6—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        On August 20, 2008, IAC completed the Spin-Off. In addition, on May 30, 2008 IAC sold EPI for approximately $34.9 million, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $37.4 million and an after-tax gain of $22.3 million.

        On June 19, 2007, IAC sold HSE, previously reported in the International segment of IAC's former Retailing sector, for approximately $216.5 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $52.0 million, and an after-tax gain of $35.1 million. The pre-tax gain and the after-tax gain on the sale of HSE were subsequently reduced to $45.7 million and $31.1 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2007. The pre-tax gain included $22.8 million of foreign currency translation gains that were recognized into earnings at the time of the sale.

        Accordingly, HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. EPI and HSE are presented as discontinued operations through May 30, 2008 and June 19, 2007, respectively.

(a)

During the second quarter of 2008 all outstanding Convertible Notes were fully converted.

(b)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 0.2 million and 0.3 million weighted average common shares, respectively, related to the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(c)

Weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 56.6 million 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.

(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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 17.6 million and 10.1 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 8—EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Points into 29.4 million common shares of Points, sold 27.8 million of such common shares to a syndicate of underwriters for $42.4 million and surrendered the remaining 1.6 million common shares to Points for cancellation. In addition, IAC's nominees to the board of directors of Points stepped down. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $29.1 million, which is included in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As a result of this transaction, IAC no longer accounts for its remaining investment in Points using the equity method of accounting but rather accounts for such investment as available-for-sale marketable equity securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115.

Concurrent with the tender offer and in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company exchanged an additional $277.4 million in principal amount of Senior Notes for the debt of ILG. In connection with the tender offer and the exchange, the Company recorded a net loss of $63.2 million on the extinguishment of $734.2 million of the Senior Notes which is recorded in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions used in pricing the asset or liability into the following three levels:

•

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets obtained from independent sources.



•

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.



•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

        The following tables present the gains and losses included in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 relating to the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Long-term Investments

        Long-term investments in the table above that are measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) include available-for-sale auction rate securities accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115. In the third quarter of 2007, these auction rate securities had failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These auction rate securities are valued by discounting the future cash flow streams of the securities over the estimated period that the securities will be held. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing a fair value. At September 30, 2008, $13.3 million, which is net of an unrealized loss of $1.7 million, was associated with failed auctions and accordingly, was reclassified as long-term investments in the first quarter of 2008. These auction rate securities are rated either AA/A2 or AA/Aa3. Due to their high rating and the general quality of the investments underlying the portfolios, the unrealized loss related to these securities is not considered to be an other-than-temporary impairment.

        Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax, is comprised of (in thousands):

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES

        The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and FASB Interpretation No. 18. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

        The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or our tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter. Included in the income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is a provision of $0.7 million due to a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate from that used in the second quarter.

        For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded income tax benefits for continuing operations of $85.3 million and $103.6 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 99% and 54%, respectively. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to benefits from a net reduction in deferred tax liabilities caused by the Spin-Off, foreign income taxed at lower rates and state income tax benefits, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the ARO Shares, changes in tax reserves, and non-deductible costs related to the Spin-Off.

        For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $11.1 million which represents an effective tax rate of 76%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $3.4 million despite a loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million. These income tax provisions are principally due to an increase in tax reserves and related interest and net adjustments related to the reconciliation of tax returns to provision accruals, partially offset by a non-taxable gain on the fair value of derivatives that were created in connection with the sale of HSE and the Expedia spin-off, foreign tax credits and tax exempt income.

        At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $357.5 million and $231.0 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits for the nine

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES (Continued)

months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $126.5 million due principally to an unrecognized current year capital loss on the Company's investment in Tree.com, partially offset by the effective settlement of prior year tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service principally relating to the reversal of deductible temporary differences. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is $1.0 million and $6.3 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At September 30, 2008, the Company has accrued $45.8 million 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 tax provisions 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. If unrecognized tax benefits are subsequently recognized, approximately $49.8 million and $172.0 million, net of related deferred tax assets, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

        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, 2009. Various state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under exam, the most significant of which are California, Florida, New York and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001, and the examinations are expected to be completed in 2009. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $17.5 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 14—CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. 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 13 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

Management Overview

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

•

IAC, which includes:



•

the businesses comprising its Media & Advertising segment;



•

the Match and ServiceMagic segments;



•

the businesses comprising its Emerging Businesses segment, including Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were formerly included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster segments, respectively; and



•

certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates.



•

HSN, Inc. ("HSNi"), which includes HSN TV, HSN.com, and the Cornerstone Brands, Inc. portfolio of catalogs, websites and retail locations;



•

Interval Leisure Group, Inc. ("ILG"), which includes the businesses that comprised the Interval segment;



•

Ticketmaster, which includes its primary domestic and international operations as well as certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates; and



•

Tree.com, Inc. ("Tree.com"), which includes the businesses that comprised the Lending and Real Estate segments.

        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 share information, unless otherwise noted, reflects the impact of the reverse stock split and is not adjusted for the relative values of the spun-off businesses.

        The results of operations of HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

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

        During the first quarter of 2008, in contemplation of the Spin-Off, IAC reorganized its then existing Retailing, Ticketmaster and Emerging Businesses reporting segments. Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were previously included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster reporting segments, respectively, are now included in the Emerging Businesses segment. Information for all prior periods has been reclassified to conform with the current year segment presentation.

        For a more detailed presentation of the Company's operating businesses, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007:

        Set forth below are the contributions made by our various segments and corporate expenses to consolidated revenue, operating (loss) income and Operating Income Before Amortization (as defined

in IAC's Principles of Financial Reporting) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (rounding differences may occur):

 

 

        Refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for reconciliations by segment of Operating Income Before Amortization to Operating (Loss) Income.

Consolidated Results

Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue in 2008 increased 10% or $33.9 million from 2007 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $13.3 million from Emerging Businesses, $9.2 million from ServiceMagic, $4.4 million from Match and $3.4 million from Media & Advertising. The contribution from Emerging Businesses was driven primarily by strong revenue growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy. The increase at ServiceMagic reflected a more active service provider network and a 41% increase in service requests driven by increased marketing efforts. Also contributing to the increased revenue was a 3% increase in average revenue per subscriber, primarily in international markets, and a 3% increase in worldwide subscribers

at Match. The increase at Media & Advertising was driven by strong growth from proprietary search properties. Revenue per query on proprietary web search properties grew primarily from improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google and, even excluding the renewed partnership, revenue per query grew. Entirely offsetting this increase in proprietary revenue is a sharp decline in network revenue, resulting from the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain partners that took place during 2008 in conjunction with the renewed partnership. Media & Advertising revenue was further impacted by the acquisition of Lexico, which includes Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com, on July 3, 2008 which contributed $3.6 million to revenue in 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue in 2008 increased 15% or $140.4 million from 2007 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $63.2 million from Media & Advertising, $42.6 million from Emerging Businesses, $27.2 million from ServiceMagic and $19.2 million from Match. The growth from Media & Advertising, Emerging Businesses, ServiceMagic and Match was primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

Cost of sales

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

---

bp = basis points

        Cost of sales consists primarily of traffic acquisition costs, compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in data center functions, customer acquisition costs, the cost of products sold and shipping and handling costs. Traffic acquisition costs 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.

        Cost of sales in 2008 decreased $6.4 million from 2007 primarily due to a decrease of $14.6 million from Media & Advertising, partially offset by increases of $4.7 million from ServiceMagic and $3.6 million from Emerging Businesses. The decrease in cost of sales from Media & Advertising was principally due to a decrease of $14.6 million in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources. Overall revenue share payments during the quarter decreased as a direct result of a decrease in network revenue, partially offset by growth in distribution revenue included as a component of proprietary revenue at IAC Search & Media. As a percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs associated with network revenue generated from integrated sponsored listings are lower than traffic acquisition costs associated with distribution revenue generated from partners who redirect traffic to the Ask.com landing page. The increase in cost of sales from ServiceMagic was primarily due to an increase in customer acquisition costs as it continued to focus its spend on driving higher margin home repair and improvement requests and increasing service requests during this weak macro environment. Cost of sales from Emerging Businesses increased primarily due to an increase of $2.4 million in cost of products sold and $0.9 million in shipping and handling costs at Shoebuy.

29

---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Cost of sales in 2008 increased $9.1 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $17.4 million from Emerging Businesses and $13.9 million from ServiceMagic, partially offset by decreases of $17.2 million from Media & Advertising and $4.9 million from Match. The increase in cost of sales from Emerging Businesses was primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in cost of products sold and $2.8 million in shipping and handling costs at Shoebuy. Cost of sales from Emerging Businesses was further impacted by increased costs associated with Gifts.com and various early stage businesses not in the year ago period. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales were increased customer acquisition costs from ServiceMagic as described above in the three month discussion. Partially offsetting these increases in cost of sales was a decrease in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources from Media & Advertising and decreased domestic customer acquisition costs from Match. The decrease in domestic acquisition costs from Match was due primarily to improved economics with certain distribution partners.

Selling and marketing expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in customer service and sales functions. Advertising and promotional expenditures include online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and distribution partners, and offline marketing, including television, print and radio advertising.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2008 increased $21.0 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $7.5 million from Emerging Businesses, $6.5 million from Match and $3.8 million from Media & Advertising. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Emerging Businesses resulted primarily from an increase of $5.6 million in online marketing from Pronto.com. Selling and marketing expense from Match increased primarily due to an increase of $4.4 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, including those associated with television advertising and online marketing related to various international marketing campaigns. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expense is increased expense from Media & Advertising primarily due to an increase of $3.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, partially offset by reduced marketing expense. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is due in part to recent acquisitions not in the year ago period at IAC Search & Media and an 11% increase in average headcount at Citysearch.

30

---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Selling and marketing expense in 2008 increased $44.7 million from 2007, primarily due to increases of $21.6 million from Emerging Businesses, $15.6 million from Match and $3.9 million from ServiceMagic. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Emerging Businesses is primarily due to an increase of $17.5 million in online marketing from Pronto.com. Selling and marketing expense from Match increased primarily due to an increase of $14.9 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, including marketing costs primarily related to Chemistry.com. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expense is an increase of $3.8 million in compensation and other employee-related costs from ServiceMagic primarily related to the expansion of its sales force due in part to the opening of a new call center in Kansas City in the second quarter of 2007.

General and administrative expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        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 2008 increased $46.1 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $38.9 million from corporate and $3.8 million from Emerging Businesses. The increase from corporate is principally due to $20.8 million of expenses related to the Spin-Off and an increase of $18.3 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the acceleration and modification of certain equity awards associated with the Spin-Off. General and administrative expense from Emerging Businesses increased primarily due to increased operating expenses associated with various early stage businesses not in the year ago period as well as Connected Ventures.

        As of September 30, 2008, there was approximately $135.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity based awards, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        General and administrative expense in 2008 increased $88.9 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $61.2 million from corporate and $22.0 million from Emerging Businesses. The increase from corporate is principally due to $42.0 million of expenses related to the Spin-Off and an increase

31

---

of $20.1 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. General and administrative expense from Emerging Businesses increased primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture as well as increased operating expenses associated with InstantAction.com, Connected Ventures, RushmoreDrive.com and various early stage businesses not in the year ago period.

Other operating expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        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 and various emerging businesses. Other operating expense includes costs related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of technology that are not capitalized.

        Other operating expense in 2008 increased $0.3 million from 2007, primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs from Emerging Businesses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Other operating expense in 2008 increased $8.7 million from 2007, primarily due to an increase of $6.8 million in compensation and other employee-related costs from Media & Advertising. The increase from Media & Advertising is due in part to a 9% increase in average headcount, as it continues to upgrade and enhance its search technology and products.

Depreciation

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $2.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively, primarily due to the incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures made during 2007 and 2008, partially offset by certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated during the period.

32

---

Operating Income Before Amortization

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2008 decreased $7.2 million from 2007 primarily due to an increase in corporate expenses of $19.5 million, partially offset by growth of $10.9 million from Media & Advertising. The decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization from corporate is principally due to $20.8 million of expenses related to the Spin-Off. This increase in corporate expenses was partially offset by lower traffic acquisition costs and higher revenue from Media & Advertising.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2008 increased $4.6 million from 2007 primarily due to growth of $55.4 million, $5.8 million and $5.5 million from Media & Advertising, Match and ServiceMagic, respectively. These increases in Operating Income Before Amortization were partially offset by decreases of $40.3 million from corporate and $21.7 million from Emerging Businesses. Contributing favorably to Operating Income Before Amortization is the impact of higher revenue and lower traffic acquisition costs from Media & Advertising. Partially offsetting the increases in Operating Income Before Amortization at certain segments are $42.0 million of expenses from corporate related to the Spin-Off and the favorable impact in the prior year of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture within Emerging Businesses, as well as increased operating expenses associated with RushmoreDrive.com, various early stage businesses not in the year ago period, InstantAction.com and Connected Ventures.

Operating (loss) income

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        The operating loss in 2008 of $22.6 million versus operating income in 2007 of $1.7 million was primarily due to the decrease of $7.2 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and an increase of $22.0 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million in amortization of non-cash marketing and a decrease of $2.0 million in amortization of intangibles. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the acceleration and modification of certain equity awards associated with the Spin-Off. 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.

33

---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Operating loss in 2008 decreased $4.2 million from 2007 primarily due to the increase of $4.6 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, a decrease of $21.1 million in amortization of non-cash marketing, primarily from Media & Advertising, and a decrease of $2.3 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $23.8 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

Other income (expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Interest income in 2008 decreased $7.1 million from 2007 primarily due to lower cash and marketable securities balances in 2008, as well as lower average interest rates. Interest expense in 2008 decreased $9.9 million from 2007 as average interest rates decreased and the amount of outstanding debt decreased year over year due to the extinguishment of $734.2 million of the Company's 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Senior Notes") as described below. The remaining outstanding principal of the Senior Notes at September 30, 2008 is $15.8 million.

        Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2008 decreased $0.7 million from 2007 primarily due to losses from various Company investments, including those not in the year ago period, partially offset by higher earnings from its investment in Jupiter Shop Channel, a shopping channel in Japan.

        Other expense in 2008 of $68.7 million is primarily due to a loss of $63.2 million on the extinguishment of the Senior Notes. On August 20, 2008, IAC purchased for cash all validly tendered Senior Notes pursuant to its amended tender offer to purchase the outstanding Senior Notes. Concurrent with the tender offer and in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company exchanged a portion of the Senior Notes for the debt of ILG.

        Other expense in 2008 also includes a loss of $5.1 million related to the derivative asset received by the Company in connection with the sale of its German TV and internet retailer, Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated TV station HSE24 ("HSE"). This loss was due in part to an increase in the discount rate related to credit risk. Other income in 2007 of $10.3 million was primarily due to gains of $5.8 million and $2.7 million associated with the derivative asset received by the Company in connection with the sale of HSE and the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off, respectively.

34

---

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Interest income, interest expense and equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2008 decreased $27.7 million, $13.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from 2007 primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Other expense in 2008 of $157.6 million is primarily due to the write-down of $132.6 million on the Company's investment in Arcandor AG ("ARO") and the $63.2 million loss on the extinguishment of $734.2 million of the Senior Notes, described above in the three month discussion, partially offset by a gain of $29.1 million associated with the sale of the Company's preferred investment in Points International, Ltd ("Points"). As part of the consideration for the sale of HSE in June 2007, the Company received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock ("ARO Shares"). During the second quarter of 2008, the Company considered the value of the ARO Shares to be other-than-temporarily impaired and wrote the value of the investment down to €7.38 per share, the stock's closing price on June 30, 2008.

        Other income in 2007 of $19.2 million was primarily due to gains of $7.8 million and $4.4 million associated with the derivative asset received by the Company in connection with the sale of HSE and the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off, respectively. Other income also included a gain of $3.1 million on the sale of fixed assets in 2007.

Income tax provision

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        In 2008 the Company recorded an income tax benefit for continuing operations of $85.3 million which represents an effective tax rate of 99%. The 2008 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to benefits from a net reduction in deferred tax liabilities caused by the Spin-Off, foreign income taxed at lower rates and state income tax benefits, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the ARO Shares, changes in tax reserves, and non-deductible costs related to the Spin-Off. In 2007 the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $11.1 million which represents an effective tax rate of 76%. The 2007 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to an increase in tax reserves and related interest and net adjustments related to the reconciliation of tax returns to provision accruals, partially offset by a non-taxable gain on the fair value of derivatives that were created in connection with the sale of HSE and the Expedia spin-off, foreign tax credits and tax exempt income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        In 2008 the Company recorded an income tax benefit for continuing operations of $103.6 million which represents an effective tax rate of 54%. The 2008 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to benefits from a net reduction in deferred tax liabilities caused by the Spin-Off, foreign income taxed at lower rates and state income tax benefits, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the ARO Shares, changes in tax

reserves, and non-deductible costs related to the Spin-Off. In 2007 the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $3.4 million despite a loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million. This income tax provision was principally due to an increase in tax reserves and related interest and net adjustments related to the reconciliation of tax returns to provision accruals, partially offset by a non-taxable gain on the fair value of derivatives that were created in connection with the sale of HSE and the Expedia spin-off, foreign tax credits and tax exempt income.

        At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $357.5 million and $231.0 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $126.5 million due principally to an unrecognized current year capital loss on the Company's investment in Tree.com, partially offset by the effective settlement of prior year tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service principally relating to the reversal of deductible temporary differences. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is $1.0 million and $6.3 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At September 30, 2008 the Company has accrued $45.8 million 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. Annual tax provisions 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. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $17.5 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

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations include HSNi, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com through August 20, 2008, EPI through May 30, 2008 and HSE through June 19, 2007. Results from these discontinued operations, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 were losses of $14.7 million and income of $67.1 million, respectively. The 2008 amount is principally due to losses of Tree.com, HSNi and Ticketmaster, partially offset by income of ILG. The 2007 amount is principally due to the income of Ticketmaster, HSNi and ILG, partially offset by losses of Tree.com.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Results from discontinued operations, net of tax, in 2008 and 2007 were losses of $318.8 million and income of $199.5 million, respectively. The 2008 amount is principally due to the losses of HSNi, Tree.com and EPI, which include impairment charges related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $221.5 million and $78.5 million for HSNi, respectively, and $132.5 million and $33.4 million, respectively, for Tree.com. The losses from HSNi, Tree.com and EPI were partially offset by income of Ticketmaster and ILG. The 2007 amount is principally due to the income of Ticketmaster, HSNi and ILG, partially offset by losses of Tree.com and EPI.

        Additionally, the Company recognized after-tax gains in 2008 and 2007 of $22.3 million and $31.1 million on the sales of EPI in the second quarter of 2008 and HSE in the second quarter of 2007, respectively.

Segment Results

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

Media & Advertising

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Media & Advertising consists of proprietary search properties such as Ask.com, Fun Web Products, Dictionary.com and Iwon, and our proprietary local site Citysearch, and network properties which include distributed search, sponsored listings and toolbars.

        Revenue grew 2% to $193.3 million, primarily driven by strong growth from proprietary search properties. The growth in queries at Ask.com internationally and Fun Web Products was partially offset by declines in queries at Ask.com in the U.S. due to significantly lower marketing spend in the period. Ask.com's core user base, where frequency and monetization are the highest, grew queries strongly. Revenue per query on proprietary web search properties grew primarily from improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google and, even excluding the renewed partnership, revenue per query grew due to continued optimization of how and when we display sponsored listings. Proprietary revenue represented 71.5% of total Media & Advertising revenue during the quarter. Offsetting these increases in revenue was a sharp decline in network revenue, resulting from the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain partners that took place during 2008 in conjunction with the renewed partnership. The acquisition of Lexico, which includes Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com, on July 3, 2008 contributed $3.6 million to revenue in 2008. Citysearch continued to grow users and revenue during the quarter.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 39% to $38.8 million, primarily due to the reduction in the current year of $14.6 million in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources, partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in selling and marketing expense. Overall revenue share payments during the quarter decreased as a direct result of a decrease in network revenue, partially offset by growth in distribution revenue included as a component of proprietary revenue at IAC Search & Media. As a percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs associated with network revenue generated from integrated sponsored listings are lower than traffic acquisition costs associated with distribution revenue generated from partners who redirect traffic to the Ask.com landing page. The increase in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to an increase of $3.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, due in part to recent acquisitions not in the year ago period at IAC Search & Media and an 11% increase in average headcount at Citysearch. This increase in selling and marketing expense is partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in advertising and promotional expenditures due largely to reduced marketing spend.

        Operating income increased 105% to $32.1 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and the inclusion in the prior year period of $6.1 million in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        As discussed, the Company renewed its paid listings agreement with Google effective January 1, 2008. The new contract limits our ability to distribute sponsored listings to certain network partners. This has led to a greater percentage of revenues for our Media & Advertising segment in 2008 coming from the higher-margin proprietary side of the business, and a lesser percentage from the lower-margin network business. The trend will continue for the rest of the year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 12% to $595.1 million, primarily due to improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google, which resulted in an increase in revenue per query across most

proprietary search sites. Revenue also benefited from an increase in both queries and revenue per query at Fun Web Products and from distributed search. Revenue and revenue per query at Ask.com grew, even excluding the benefits of the renewed partnership. Queries declined overall due largely to significantly reduced marketing which more than offset growth in the core user base which searches most frequently. Network revenue declined as expected due to the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain partners that took place during 2008, as described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 97% to $112.2 million, primarily due to a decrease of $10.2 million in advertising and promotional expenditures at IAC Search & Media, increased revenue growth noted above and a decrease of $6.3 million in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase of $7.0 million in other operating expense. The decrease in revenue share payments is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. The increase in other operating expense was primarily due to an increase of $6.8 million in compensation and other employee-related costs due in part to a 9% increase in average headcount, as our Media & Advertising businesses continued to upgrade and enhance their search technology and products.

        Operating income increased 502% to $93.2 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and the inclusion in the prior year period of $22.8 million in amortization of non-cash marketing.

Match

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 5% to $93.5 million, reflecting a 6% increase in both international subscribers and revenue per subscriber, and a 1% and 2% growth in North America subscribers and revenue per subscriber, respectively. The growth in international subscribers was driven by expansion in several markets, most notably Latin America, United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Australia. Domestically, Chemistry.com continued to grow subscribers during the third quarter of 2008.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 3% to $30.3 million, primarily reflecting lower customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue due to more favorable economic terms associated with certain distribution partners, partially offset by increased marketing spend and compensation and other employee-related costs related to product investments. In 2008, Match experienced increases in advertising associated with television advertising and online marketing related to various international marketing campaigns.

        Operating income decreased 18% to $24.0 million despite the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above primarily due to the current year inclusion of $6.1 million in amortization of non-cash marketing.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 7% to $277.4 million, reflecting a 6% and 11% increase in international subscribers and revenue per subscriber, respectively, and a 1% and 4% growth in North America subscriber and revenue per subscriber, respectively. The growth in international subscribers was driven by factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 10% to $63.3 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to lower international customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue and a decrease in domestic customer acquisition costs. The decrease in domestic customer acquisition costs reflects improved economics with certain distribution partners as noted above in the three month

discussion, partially offset by an increase in spending related to Chemistry.com, which continues to grow subscribers.

        Operating income increased 2% to $50.7 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above, partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in amortization of non-cash marketing.

ServiceMagic

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 37% to $33.8 million, benefiting from a more active service provider network and a 41% increase in service requests driven by increased marketing efforts. During 2008, ServiceMagic experienced a 34% increase in the number of times service requests are accepted by a service professional.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 60% to $8.7 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $4.7 million in cost of sales and $1.0 million in general and administrative expense. The increase in costs of sales is primarily driven by increased customer acquisition costs as ServiceMagic continued to focus its spend on driving higher margin home repair and improvement requests and increasing service requests during this weak macro environment. Contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense are increases of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in bad debt expense and compensation and other employee-related costs, respectively.

        Operating income increased 75% to $8.1 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a decrease of $0.3 million in amortization of intangibles.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 38% to $98.6 million, driven primarily by the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 29% to $24.2 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $13.9 million in cost of sales, $3.9 million in selling and marketing expense and $3.3 million in general and administrative expense. The increase in costs of sales is primarily driven by increased customer acquisition costs as described above in the three month discussion. Selling and marketing expense reflects increased compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the expansion of the sales force due in part to the opening of a new customer call center in Kansas City in the second quarter of 2007. Contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense are increases of $1.1 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, bad debt expense and facilities costs, respectively.

        Operating income increased 41% to $22.6 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a decrease of $1.0 million in amortization of intangibles.

Emerging Businesses

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Emerging Businesses include Shoebuy, ReserveAmerica, Pronto.com, Gifts.com, InstantAction.com, Connected Ventures, 23/6, VeryShortList.com, RushmoreDrive.com, Life123.com and The Daily Beast, as well as other early stage businesses.

39

---

        Revenue grew 37% to $49.6 million reflecting strong growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased $2.6 million to a loss of $6.1 million. Losses increased due primarily to increased operating expenses associated with early stage businesses not in the year ago period, as well as InstantAction.com and RushmoreDrive.com. Partially offsetting the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization is the first full quarter of profitability at Pronto.com.

        Operating loss decreased 25% to $7.4 million despite the increased Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year period of $3.0 million in amortization of non-cash marketing related to Shoebuy and a $2.2 million decrease in amortization of intangibles. The decrease in amortization of intangibles resulted from certain intangibles at Connected Ventures being fully amortized in 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Revenue grew 43% to $141.9 million reflecting strong growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income decreased $21.7 million and $16.8 million, respectively, to losses of $21.7 million and $25.8 million, respectively, due to the inclusion in the prior year's results of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture, as well as increased operating expenses associated with RushmoreDrive.com, various early stage businesses not in the year ago period, InstantAction.com and Connected Ventures. Operating loss was favorably impacted by the inclusion in the prior year period of $3.0 million in amortization of non-cash marketing and a $1.6 million decrease in amortization of intangibles.

Corporate

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $19.5 million to a loss of $41.2 million reflecting the incurrence of $20.8 million in expenses related to the Spin-Off.

        Operating loss increased 109% to $79.4 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and an increase of $22.0 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the acceleration and modification of certain equity awards associated with the Spin-Off. To a lesser degree, non-cash compensation expense increased due to expense related to equity grants issued subsequent to the third quarter of 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media acquisition as these awards vest, as well as the impact of expense relating to equity modifications recorded in the prior year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss increased by $40.3 million to a loss of $106.0 million, primarily due to the incurrence of $42.0 million in expenses related to the Spin-Off.

        Operating loss increased 55% to $180.9 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and an increase of $24.1 million in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

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.

        As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, $121.5 million of marketable securities and $95.8 million in long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of $80.0 million in Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035 and $15.8 million in Senior Notes.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, IAC purchased 3.0 million and 7.8 million shares of IAC common stock for aggregate consideration, on a trade date basis, of $145.6 million and $508.6 million, respectively. In 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 30 million shares of IAC common stock of which 22.4 million shares remain at October 31, 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 provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $147.4 million and $0.1 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase of $147.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities reflects lower cash taxes paid of $114.3 million and an increase in accounts payable.

        Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2008 of $469.4 million includes the net cash distribution from the spun-off businesses of $427.8 million, the net proceeds of $189.4 million related to the sales, maturities and purchases of marketable securities, the proceeds of $60.9 million from the sale of long-term investments and the proceeds of $32.7 million from the sale of discontinued operations, partially offset by acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $130.7 million, an increase in long-term investments of $59.7 million and capital expenditures of $51.3 million. The increase in long-term investments is primarily due to the Company's equity investment in The HealthCentral Network. The proceeds from the sale of long-term investments and discontinued operations relate primarily to the sale of Points and EPI, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $266.6 million includes the net proceeds of $492.6 million related to the sales, maturities and purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by an net increase in long-term investments of $119.5 million, capital expenditures of $77.8 million and acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $45.8 million.

        Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2008 of $674.0 million was primarily due to $514.9 million relating to the repurchase of Senior Notes and the purchase of treasury stock of $145.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $518.9 million was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock of $542.9 million and principal payments on long-term obligations of $7.6 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes, of $21.9 million and the excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $5.8 million.

        Net cash used in discontinued operations in 2008 of $170.2 million and net cash provided by discontinued operations in 2007 of $173.1 million relate primarily to the operations of Ticketmaster, HSNi, ILG and Tree.com. The Company does not expect future cash flows associated with existing discontinued operations to be material.

        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. IAC expects that 2008 capital expenditures will be lower than 2007.

        IAC believes that its cash on hand along with its anticipated operating cash flows in 2008 and its access to capital markets are sufficient to fund its operating needs, capital, investing and other commitments and contingencies for the foreseeable future.

IAC'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

        IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization as a supplemental measure to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. 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, (2) amortization of non-cash marketing, (3) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (4) goodwill impairment, (5) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (6) 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

43

---

various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost. At September 30, 2008, there was approximately $23.9 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 (loss) income by business and to net earnings available to common shareholders in total for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

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

Investment Portfolio

        The Company invests its excess cash in certain cash equivalents and marketable 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 September 30, 2008, 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 $1.5 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 $1.3 billion 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.

Long-term Debt

        At September 30, 2008, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $95.8 million, all of which pays interest at fixed rates. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on market rates. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the fixed-rate debt by approximately $8.8 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of fixed-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period.

Equity Price Risk

        As part of the consideration for the sale of HSE on June 19, 2007, IAC received from Arcandor AG ("ARO") approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock (the "ARO Shares") valued at €141 million, plus additional consideration in the form of a contingent value right ("CVR"). The CVR has value of up to €54 million within three years from the date of sale. 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 CVR is dependent, in part, upon the average closing value of the ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). To the extent that the Average Value 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 is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. To the extent that the Average Value is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the closing value of an ARO share 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 CVR expires without any payment being made.

45

---

The CVR is accounted for as a derivative asset and maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized in current earnings as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations each period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in a loss of $5.1 million and a gain of $5.8 million, respectively. The loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due in part to an increase in the discount rate related to credit risk. The ARO stock is an available-for-sale marketable equity security that is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). During the second quarter of 2008, the Company concluded that the decline in the price of the ARO Shares was other-than-temporary and thus recorded a $132.6 million impairment charge that is included in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The loss was determined to be other-than-temporary due to (1) the significant, 72% decline in the ARO stock price from €25.90 at June 19, 2007 to €7.38 at June 30, 2008, and the duration of the decline in the ARO stock price and (2) the Company's assessment of the near-to-medium term prospects for a recovery to levels proximate to the initial carrying value of the ARO Shares. During the third quarter of 2008, the ARO stock price declined further from €7.38 at June 30, 2008 to €2.33 at September 30, 2008. The Company does not believe that this decline is other-than-temporary due to the duration of the stock price decline and the Company's assessment of the prospects for a recovery to a €7.38 price level during the Company's expected holding period. Accordingly, the €27.6 million or $40.4 million decline in the ARO stock price during the third quarter of 2008 has been recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. The carrying value of the ARO Shares is €12.7 million or $18.4 million at September 30, 2008.

        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. 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. Both the derivative liabilities and derivative assets were maintained at fair value each reporting period, and the changes in fair values, which were based upon changes in both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, were recognized in current earnings as a component of other income (expense). During the second quarter of 2008, the Convertible Notes were fully converted and the related derivatives expired. The net fair value adjustments recognized in current earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were gains of $0.5 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union. The Company's primary exposure to foreign currency risk relates to investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro and British Pound Sterling. However, the exposure is mitigated since the Company has generally reinvested 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.

---

        Foreign exchange gains and losses were not material to the Company's earnings in 2008 and 2007. 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 foreign currency translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally. However, the Company periodically reviews its strategy for hedging foreign currency translation risks. The Company's objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on its earnings, cash flows and financial position.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

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

        As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and Forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

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

        Actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements included in this quarterly report for a variety of reasons, including, among others: changes in economic conditions generally or in any of the markets or industries in which IAC's businesses operate, changes in senior management at IAC and/or its businesses, changes in the advertising market, changes in relationships with its paid listings supplier, as well as third party distribution channels, advertisers and other suppliers, technological changes, regulatory changes, failure to comply with existing laws, the ability to offer new or alternative products and services in a cost-effective manner and consumer acceptance of these products and services and the ability of IAC to expand successfully in international markets. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed below. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward looking statements discussed in this report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which only reflect the views of IAC management as of the date of this report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward looking statements.

Risk Factors

        IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to certain risks that are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing IAC and its businesses. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or not currently deemed to be material may also impair IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management—IAC depends on its key personnel.

        The future success of IAC will depend upon its continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled individuals, with the continued contributions of its senior management, particularly Barry Diller, the Chairman and CEO of IAC, being especially critical to IAC's success. If Mr. Diller no longer serves in, or serves in some lesser capacity than, his current role, IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as the market price of IAC's securities, could be adversely affected. Competition for well qualified employees across IAC's various businesses is intense, and IAC's continued ability to compete effectively depends, in part, upon its ability to attract new employees. While IAC has established programs to attract new employees and provide incentives for and retain existing employees, particularly its senior management, IAC cannot assure you that it will be able to attract new employees or retain the services of Mr. Diller, other members of senior management or any other key employees in the future. Mr. Diller does not have an employment agreement with IAC, though he owns approximately 4.3 million shares of IAC common

48

---

stock, and holds unvested options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of IAC common stock, all of which vest in June 2010 and expire in June 2015.

Control of IAC—Mr. Diller currently controls IAC. If Mr. Diller ceases to control IAC, Liberty Media Corporation may effectively control IAC.

        Subject to the terms of an amended and restated stockholders agreement between Mr. Diller and Liberty, Mr. Diller has an irrevocable proxy to vote shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock held by Liberty. Accordingly, Mr. Diller effectively controls the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote or for the consent of IAC's stockholders (other than with respect to the election by the holders of IAC common stock of 25% of the members of IAC's Board of Directors and matters as to which Delaware law requires a separate class vote). Upon Mr. Diller's permanent departure from IAC, the irrevocable proxy terminates and, depending upon the capitalization of IAC at such time, Liberty may effectively control the voting power of the capital stock of IAC through its ownership of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock.

        In addition, under an amended and restated governance agreement among IAC, Liberty and Mr. Diller, each of Mr. Diller and Liberty generally has the right to consent to limited matters in the event that IAC's ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the governance agreement) equals or exceeds 4:1 over a continuous 12-month period. While neither of Mr. Diller nor Liberty may currently exercise this right, no assurances can be given that this right will not be triggered in the future, and if so, that Mr. Diller and Liberty will consent to any of the limited matters at such time, in which case IAC would not be able to engage in transactions or take actions covered by this consent right.

        As a result of Mr. Diller's ownership interests and voting power, and Liberty's ownership interests and voting power upon Mr. Diller's permanent departure from IAC, Mr. Diller is currently, and in the future Liberty may be, in a position to control or influence significant corporate actions, including without limitation, corporate transactions such as mergers, business combinations or dispositions of assets and determinations with respect to IAC's significant business direction and policies. This concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to IAC, which could adversely affect the market price of IAC securities.

Third Party Relationships—IAC depends on arrangements with its paid listings supplier, as well as relationships with third party distribution channels, advertisers and other suppliers, and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The success of IAC depends on its ability to maintain existing arrangements with its paid listings supplier, as well as the ability of its Media & Advertising businesses to maintain existing and build new relationships with third party distribution channels, advertisers and other suppliers, among other arrangements and relationships. Any adverse changes in these arrangements and relationships could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. The substantial majority of IAC's advertising revenues, which represent a significant portion of IAC's consolidated revenues, is attributable to a paid listing supply agreement with Google that expires on December 31, 2012. Pursuant to this agreement, paid listings appear on search results generated on Ask's proprietary websites and, to a limited extent, the websites of certain of our distribution partners in response to keywords selected by advertisers with which Google has entered into contracts. While Google has limited termination rights, if it were to terminate the paid listing supply agreement, the business, financial condition and results of operations of IAC would be adversely affected.

        The success of our Media & Advertising businesses and IAC also depends, in large part, on the ability of our Media & Advertising businesses to secure, maintain and grow relationships with third party distribution partners and advertisers. To do so, these businesses must be able to continue to

49

---

deliver quality traffic and clicks, in other words, traffic and clicks that adequately convert into revenue for advertisers and distribution partners. Our Media & Advertising businesses rely, in part, on distribution partners with whom they generally enter into short-term contracts with auto-renewal provisions to generate traffic to their websites. A significant decrease in the number of distribution partners would decrease the scope of our distribution generally, and the inability of distribution partners to maintain and grow levels of quality traffic would adversely impact the quality of traffic and clicks ultimately delivered to advertisers, either or both of which could adversely affect our Media & Advertising businesses and IAC. The failure of our Media & Advertising businesses to retain existing, or attract new, distribution partners, as well as generate traffic to their websites, could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of IAC.

        ServiceMagic's success depends, in significant part, on its ability to secure, maintain and grow relationships with quality home service professionals that provide a wide range of home services in multiple geographic areas. ServiceMagic does not enter into contracts with home service professionals, a significant number of which are sole proprietorships and small businesses, which are particularly sensitive to economic downturns, constrained liquidity and decreases in consumer spending. As a result, ServiceMagic's network of home service professionals may experience turnover from time to time, which if significant or recurring over a prolonged basis, could result in increased costs and adversely impact the quality of services ultimately provided and the ability to match service requests with home service professionals on a timely and consistent basis. The failure of ServiceMagic to secure, maintain and grow relationships with a sufficient number of quality home service professionals could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of IAC.

Adverse Events and Trends—General economic events or trends could harm IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        IAC businesses in general are sensitive to national, regional and local trends or events that are outside of IAC's control. General and prolonged economic downturns, decreases in consumer spending (particularly discretionary spending) and borrowing, constrained liquidity, recessionary conditions and other unfavorable events or trends could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The substantial majority of the revenues of the Media & Advertising segment and a significant portion of IAC's revenues are attributable to advertising. Advertising spending has historically been cyclical in nature, reflecting overall economic conditions, as well as budgeting and buying patterns. Moreover, advertisers generally, especially small and local businesses, are particularly sensitive to general economic downturns, decreases in consumer spending and changes in consumer preferences, which generally result in decreased advertising expenditures. These events could also result in a decrease in the number of advertisers and distribution partners that do business with us or a decrease in the rates that we may charge for advertising due to decreased demand for these services. In addition, the number of paid listings and advertisements that our Media & Advertising businesses deliver depends on the acceptance of new, and the continued and increased acceptance of our existing, advertising models, which could be adversely affected by the introduction of new advertising models by competitors. Lastly, technologies have been developed, and are likely to continue to be developed, that can block the display of paid listings and advertisements. This technology could reduce the number of paid listings and advertisements that our Media & Advertising businesses can deliver, which could adversely affect the results of IAC.

        Match is sensitive to general economic and business conditions generally, particularly to decreases in discretionary spending and changes in consumer preferences. ServiceMagic's results may be impacted by general economic and business conditions, particularly in instances where these conditions have an adverse impact on housing and consumer spending. Decreases in home values and discretionary

50

---

spending result in fewer requests for higher margin, non-essential home repair and improvement requests, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of IAC.

Marketing—The failure of IAC businesses to attract and retain customers in a cost-effective manner could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The long-term success of IAC depends on the continued ability of its businesses to attract new visitors to their respective websites, convert these visitors into core users or customers and capture repeat business from existing core users and customers. All of these initiatives involve the expenditure of considerable money and resources for online and offline advertising and marketing, infrastructure and other related efforts. IAC businesses have made, and over the short term expect to continue to make, significant expenditures in connection with these initiatives, which may not be successful or cost-effective. In the case of IAC businesses with affiliate programs, if the number of customers being driven to their websites through affiliate programs were to decrease significantly, sales and marketing costs would increase over the long-term given that these programs are generally more cost-effective than traditional advertising and marketing efforts. The failure of IAC businesses to attract and acquire new, and retain existing, core users and customers in a cost-effective manner could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        One of the most cost-effective efforts employed by IAC to attract and acquire new, and retain existing, customers is a form of search engine marketing commonly referred to as search engine optimization, or SEO. SEO involves developing websites to rank well in search engine results. Search engines frequently update and change the logic that determines the placement and display of results of user searches, such that the algorithmic placement of links, as well as purchased links (i.e., through the purchase of relevant keywords), to websites can be adversely affected. The failure of IAC to successfully manage SEO efforts across its businesses, including the timely modification of SEO efforts from time to time in response to periodic changes in search engine algorithms and search query trends, could result in a substantial decrease of free traffic to the websites of IAC's various businesses, which would be costly to replace or if not replaced, as well as adversely impact our ability to optimize the benefit of purchased links, all of which would result in substantial decreases in traffic, conversion rates and repeat business, any or all of which would adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third Party Activities—We may be adversely impacted by syndication partners that engage in activities that violate our syndication guidelines.

        Some third parties seek to incorporate the search results generated by certain of our Media & Advertising businesses into other content on their websites. These businesses enter into syndication agreements with these third parties to deliver, or "syndicate," algorithmic search results and paid listings to results pages controlled by those third parties, in accordance with applicable guidelines set forth in the relevant agreements. From time to time, we may discover that certain of our syndication partners or their affiliates are obtaining search traffic or displaying paid listings in a manner that does not adhere to our syndication guidelines, some of which we are required to maintain and enforce pursuant to the terms of our paid listing supply agreement with Google. Although we regularly monitor the activities of our syndication partners to promote compliance with all applicable guidelines, it is not possible to monitor the activities of all of those partners all of the time. The failure to detect activities of syndication partners that display paid listings in a manner contrary to applicable guidelines could subject us to third party or governmental claims or investigations. Moreover, repeated instances of such activities within specified time frames could, depending on the facts and circumstances, result in a breach of our paid listing supply agreement with Google, which, if not cured, could give Google the right to terminate the paid listing supply agreement. If Google were to terminate the paid listing supply

51

---

agreement, the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Media & Advertising segment and IAC would be adversely affected.

Changing User and Customer Requirements and Industry Standards—IAC businesses may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing user and customer requirements and industry standards.

        The e-commerce industry is characterized by evolving industry standards, frequent new service and product introductions and enhancements, and changing user and customer requirements and preferences. IAC businesses may not be able to adapt quickly enough and/or in a cost-effective manner to changes in industry standards and user and customer requirements and preferences, and their failure to do so could adversely affect user and customer experiences and reduce traffic driven to our various websites, which would adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of IAC. For example, to extent that we are unable to continue to update existing and create new toolbars that resonate with consumers or if consumers become increasingly suspicious of the effect that downloadable applications may have on their personal computer systems and search experience, users that have previously installed our toolbars may cease using these toolbars and the number of new users that install toolbars may decrease, which could adversely impact IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Moreover, the continued widespread adoption of new internet or telecommunications technologies and devices or other technological changes could require IAC businesses to modify or adapt their respective services or infrastructures. For example, the number of individuals who access the internet through devices other than a personal computer has increased dramatically. The lower resolution, functionality and memory associated with these devices could make the use of services provided by IAC businesses through these devices difficult, and alternative services developed for these devices may not be compelling to users. IAC businesses have limited experience to date in operating versions of their respective services developed or optimized for users of alternative devices and it is difficult to predict the problems that they may encounter in doing so. The modification or adaptation of the services or infrastructures of IAC businesses in response to these developments, as well as to the adoption of other new technologies or technological changes, could require substantial expenditures. The failure of IAC businesses to modify or adapt their respective services or infrastructures in response to these trends could result in the loss of market share and/or render their existing websites, services and proprietary technologies obsolete, which could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Internet Usage and Online Migration—IAC's future success depends upon the continued and widespread use and acceptance of the internet as a medium for commerce, particularly for advertising.

        IAC's future success depends on the continued and widespread use and acceptance of the internet as a medium for commerce, particularly for advertising. A number of factors may inhibit internet use and acceptance by consumers generally, including general privacy and security concerns regarding their personally identifiable information and activities that diminish their user experience (such as spyware, viruses and spam, among other activities). Many advertisers still have limited experience with online advertising and may continue to devote significant portions of their advertising budgets to traditional offline advertising media. To the extent that advertisers may find online advertising to be less effective than traditional media at promoting their products or services, they may reduce or eliminate online advertising expenditures. Acceptance of online advertising will depend, in significant part, on the perceived effectiveness of medium, the continued growth of commercial usage of the internet and the extent to which software programs that limit or prevent advertising from being displayed on a user's computer become accepted practice. Furthermore, IAC businesses with international operations in certain jurisdictions could be adversely affected if the adoption of the internet as a medium for commerce does not continue to grow, or grows at significantly lower rates than expected, in certain

52

---

jurisdictions or the internet infrastructure in these jurisdictions does not expand quickly enough to meet increased levels of demand. If advertiser and consumer use and acceptance and growth of online commerce do not continue to increase, IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Acquisitions—IAC may experience operational and financial risks in connection with acquisitions. In addition, some of the businesses acquired by IAC may incur significant losses from operations or experience impairment of carrying value.

        IAC has made numerous acquisitions in the past and its future growth may depend, in part, on acquisitions. IAC may experience operational and financial risks in connection with acquisitions. To the extent that IAC grows through acquisitions, it will need to:

•

successfully integrate the operations, as well as the accounting, financial controls, management information, technology, human resources and other administrative systems, of acquired businesses with IAC's existing operations and systems;



•

retain senior management and other key personnel at acquired businesses; and



•

successfully manage acquisition-related strain on the management, operations and financial resources of IAC and/or acquired businesses.

        IAC may not be successful in addressing these challenges or any other problems encountered in connection with historical and future acquisitions. In addition, the anticipated benefits of one or more acquisitions may not be realized and future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and the assumption of contingent liabilities. Also, the value of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired could be impacted by one or more continuing unfavorable events and/or trends, which could result in significant impairment charges. The occurrence of any these events could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

International Presence and Expansion—Some IAC businesses operate in international markets in which they have limited experience and are faced with additional risks. IAC businesses may not be able to successfully expand into new, or further into existing, international markets.

        Some IAC businesses operate in various jurisdictions abroad and may continue to expand their international presence. Some of these businesses have limited experience, and are faced with additional risks, in the international markets in which they operate. In order to achieve widespread acceptance in the countries and markets in which they have a presence, these businesses must continue to successfully tailor their services to the unique customs and cultures of such countries and markets. Learning the customs and cultures of various countries can be difficult and costly and the failure of these businesses to do so could slow their international growth.

        These businesses face, and expect to continue to face, additional risks in the case of their existing and future international operations. These risks include changes in regulatory requirements and limits on its ability to enforce intellectual property rights, exchange rate fluctuations, potential delays in the development of the internet as an advertising and commerce medium in international markets and difficulties in managing operations due to distance, language and cultural differences, including issues associated with establishing management systems and infrastructures, and staffing and managing foreign operations. In addition, for IAC businesses that wish to continue to expand their international presence into new, or further into existing, international markets, their ability to do so will depend, in part, on their ability to identify potential acquisition candidates, joint venture or other partners, and enter into arrangements with these parties on favorable terms. In the case of expansion outside of acquisitions and commercial arrangements with third parties, IAC businesses could face significant barriers to entry

53

---

in new, and expansion into existing, markets due to, among other concerns, regulatory and legal requirements and competition.

Compliance—The failure of IAC businesses to comply with existing laws, rules and regulations could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The failure of IAC businesses to comply with existing laws, rules and regulations, or to obtain required licenses or rights, could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. IAC businesses are subject to a wide variety of statutes, rules, regulations, policies and procedures in various jurisdictions in the U.S. and abroad that can change at any time, are costly to comply with, can result in negative publicity and diversion of management time and effort, and can subject us to claims or other remedies. For example, the laws relating to the liability of providers of online services are currently unsettled both within the U.S. and abroad which could lead to threatened or actual claims under both U.S. and foreign law for defamation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy and other tort claims, unlawful activity, copyright and trademark infringement, or other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched and the ads posted by our users and our products and services.

        In addition, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for listing or linking to third party web sites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights, so long as we comply with the statutory requirements of this act. The Child Online Protection Act and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act restrict the distribution of materials considered harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect information from minors. In the area of data protection, many states have passed laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach for personal data, such as California's Information Practices Act. We face similar risks and costs as our products and services are offered in international markets and may be subject to additional regulations.

54

---

        Any failure on our part to comply with these laws and regulations may subject us to additional liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changing Laws, Rules and Regulations—Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Unfavorable changes in existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations applicable to IAC and its businesses, including those relating to the internet, online commerce, the regulation of adware and other downloadable applications, broadband and telephony services, consumer protection, including requirements for criminal background checks for subscribers to online dating services, child protection, including restrictions on the type of materials that can be distributed and requested from minors, privacy and sales, use, value-added and other taxes, could decrease demand for products and services, increase costs and/or subject IAC to additional liabilities, which could adversely affect its business. There is, and will likely continue to be, an increasing number of laws and regulations pertaining to the internet, online commerce, broadband and telephony services, which may relate to carriage and distribution of online content over broadband networks, liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the internet, user privacy, taxation and the quality of products and services.

        Broadband network operators are no longer subject to common carrier regulations, which prohibit the discriminatory operation of communications networks. Broadband network discrimination involves the interference by broadband network operators with customer access to, and the distribution of content and provision of services over, the internet, all of which involve the access and use of their networks. Interference with customer access to the internet could result in the loss of existing users and customers and impair the ability of IAC's various businesses to attract new users and customers. In addition, if broadband network operators were to charge third parties for distribution and carriage over their networks, this would result in increased costs for IAC's various businesses, which could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. The U.S. Congress is currently considering legislation to prohibit broadband network discrimination.

        In addition, the application of various domestic and international sales, use, value-added and other tax laws, rules and regulations to the historical and new products and services of IAC is subject to interpretation by the applicable taxing authorities. While IAC believes that it is compliant with these tax provisions, there can be no assurances that taxing authorities will not take a contrary position, or that such positions will not adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Privacy—The processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.

        In the processing of search queries and consumer transactions, IAC's various businesses receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other user data. The sharing, use, disclosure and protection of this information are governed by the respective privacy and data security policies maintained by each IAC business. Moreover, there are federal, state and international laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and user data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. There are currently pending several bills in the U.S. Congress, which if passed could result in more onerous requirements regarding the manner in which certain personally identifiable information and other user data will need to be stored and managed. IAC businesses could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in their business practices or privacy policies, or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or

55

---

regulations in ways that negatively affect their business, financial condition and results of operations. As privacy and data protection have become more sensitive issues, IAC businesses may also become exposed to potential liabilities as a result of differing views on the privacy of consumer and other user data collected by these businesses. The failure of IAC and/or any of its businesses, and/or their various third party vendors and service providers, to comply with applicable privacy policies or federal, state or similar international laws and regulations or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information or other user data could damage the reputation of these businesses, discourage potential users from trying the products and services of these businesses and/or result in fines and/or proceedings against IAC and/or its businesses by governmental agencies and/or consumers, one or all of which could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intellectual Property—IAC and its businesses may fail to adequately protect their intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.

        IAC and its businesses may fail to adequately protect their intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties. IAC and its businesses regard their intellectual property rights, including their patents, service marks, trademarks and domain names, copyrights, trade secrets and similar intellectual property, as critical to IAC's success. IAC businesses also rely heavily upon software codes, informational databases and other components that make up their products and services.

        IAC and its businesses rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions with employees, customers, suppliers, affiliates and others to establish and protect these proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use trade secret or copyrighted intellectual property of IAC or any of its businesses without authorization which, if discovered, might require legal action to correct. In addition, no assurances can be given that third parties will not independently and lawfully develop substantially similar intellectual properties.

        IAC and its businesses have generally registered and continue to apply to register, or secure by contract when appropriate, their respective trademarks and service marks as they are developed and used, and reserve and register domain names as they deem appropriate. While IAC and its businesses vigorously protect their respective trademarks, service marks and domain names, effective trademark protection may not be available or may not be sought in every country in which products and services are made available, and contractual disputes may affect the use of marks governed by private contract. Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or be registered, even if available. The failure of IAC and its businesses to protect their intellectual property rights in a meaningful manner or challenges to related contractual rights could result in erosion of brand names and limit the ability of IAC and its businesses to control marketing on or through the internet using their various domain names, which could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Some IAC businesses have been granted patents and/or have patent applications pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or various foreign patent authorities for various proprietary technologies and other inventions. IAC and its businesses generally seek to apply for patents or for other appropriate statutory protection when they develop valuable new or improved proprietary technologies or inventions are identified, and will continue to consider the appropriateness of filing for patents to protect future proprietary technologies and inventions as circumstances may warrant. The status of any patent involves complex legal and factual questions, and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any patent application filed by IAC and/or its businesses will result in a patent being issued, or that any existing or future patents will afford adequate protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, no assurances can

56

---

be given that third parties will not create new products or methods that achieve similar result without infringing upon patents owned by IAC and its businesses.

        From time to time, IAC and its businesses are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce the intellectual property rights of IAC and its businesses, protect their respective trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. Patent litigation tends to be particularly protracted and expensive.

Maintenance of Systems and Infrastructure—The success of IAC depends, in part, on the integrity of its systems and infrastructure. System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in IAC's information systems may affect its businesses.

        The success of IAC depends, in part, on its ability to maintain the integrity of its systems and infrastructure. System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in the information systems of IAC businesses may adversely affect these businesses. IAC businesses may experience occasional system interruptions that make some or all of their respective systems or data unavailable or prevent them from efficiently fulfilling orders or providing services. IAC businesses also rely on affiliate and third party computer systems, broadband and other communications systems and service providers in connection with the provision of services generally, as well as to facilitate and process a portion of their transactions. Any interruptions, outages or delays in the systems of IAC, its affiliates and/or third party providers, or a deterioration in the performance of these systems, could impair the ability of IAC businesses to provide services and/or process transactions. Fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God and similar events or disruptions may damage or interrupt computer, broadband or other communications systems at any time. Any of these events could cause system interruption, delays and loss of critical data, and could prevent IAC businesses from providing services to third parties. While IAC businesses have backup systems for certain aspects of their operations, the systems are not fully redundant and disaster recovery planning is not sufficient for all eventualities. In addition, IAC and its businesses may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate for losses from a major interruption. If any of these adverse events were to occur, it could damage the reputation of IAC and its businesses and be costly to remedy.
