Overall Summary

 

                  IAC achieved solid overall results with greater than 35% growth in revenue, Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted EPS.

 

                  IAC generated $62 million in Free Cash Flow and $110 million in net cash provided by operating activities in Q1 2006. Free Cash Flow declined from the prior year period due principally to the impact of income taxes. 

 

                  IAC repurchased 7.6 million shares of its common stock between January 1, 2006 and April 28, 2006, at an average price of $29.25.

 

                  Net income growth was adversely impacted by the contribution of Expedia in the prior year.

 

Sector Highlights

 

                  Retailing results reflect sales and profit declines at HSN, while benefiting from the inclusion of Cornerstone Brands which was acquired in April 2005.

 

                  Services results were driven by higher concert and sporting event sales at Ticketing and strong top line growth at Lending. Lending’s profits were impacted by higher marketing and operating expenses amid more difficult mortgage market conditions.

 

                  Media & Advertising results primarily reflect the inclusion of IAC Search & Media (formerly Ask Jeeves, Inc., acquired in July 2005), whose share of U.S. search queries was 5.9% in March, up 7% over the prior year period. Citysearch continued its momentum with strong growth in revenue and user traffic.

 

                  Membership & Subscriptions results were led by improved revenue growth in Vacations and continued worldwide expansion in Personals, which grew paid subscribers by 23% over the prior year period.

U.S. increased revenue due to the inclusion of Cornerstone Brands (acquired in April 2005) which is not reflected in the prior year period. HSN’s overall revenue declined year-over-year due primarily to disappointing merchandising performance, particularly TV sales of products in the Health & Beauty, Home Fashions and Home Hard Goods categories, partially offset by double-digit growth at HSN.com. HSN’s sales were also adversely impacted by higher overall return rates in several product categories, as well as product mix shifts into categories with generally higher average return rates on relatively flat unit volume and average price point.

 

U.S. Operating Income Before Amortization increased versus the year-ago period due primarily to the inclusion of Cornerstone, largely offset by a decline at HSN, resulting primarily from gross margin declines in Ready to Wear and Home Fashions, increased shipping and handling promotions, higher returns and higher overall freight costs. U.S. operating income also reflects an increase in the amortization of intangibles and an increase in non-cash compensation related to acquisitions.

 

International revenue declined by 5%, but grew by 4% excluding the impact of foreign exchange, due to increased sales across most product categories, partially offset by higher return rates. Profits declined due to the recovery in the prior year period of a fully reserved receivable and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.

Services results were driven by higher concert and sporting event sales at Ticketing and strong top line growth at Lending. Higher marketing and operating costs contributed to a year-over-year decline in Lending Operating Income Before Amortization.

 

Ticketing revenue was driven by a 12% increase in worldwide ticket sales and 1% higher average revenue per ticket in part due to a higher mix of live music and sporting events. Domestic revenue increased 15%, due to higher ticket volumes, in particular for sporting events which benefited from the return of the NHL and higher average revenue per ticket. International revenue grew by 20%, or 25% excluding the impact of foreign exchange, due to higher ticket volumes, primarily from the purchase of the remaining interest in the Australian joint venture (in April 2005) and higher ticket sales in Canada. Higher international ticket volume was partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per ticket largely due to the inclusion of Australian results. International acquisitions represented 25% of Ticketing’s overall revenue growth. Margin growth was attributable to operational leverage resulting from increased ticket volumes, increased average revenue per ticket, and sales distribution efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in domestic ticket royalties. Q1 profits were also favorably impacted by a $5.8 million reduction in litigation reserves.

SERVICES – continued

 

Lending revenue benefited from increased loan originations and sales into the secondary market, higher revenue per loan sold, higher transmit revenue due to growth in QF volume, and higher revenue from settlement services. Revenue from refinance mortgage and home equity loans grew strongly from the prior year period, while revenue from purchase loans grew at a more moderate pace and continued to decline as a percentage of overall Lending revenue. Revenue from refinance mortgage loans grew as a percentage of overall Lending revenue, despite a declining refinance mortgage market. Revenue growth was adversely affected by lower close rates, reflecting more difficult mortgage market conditions. Profits were impacted by increased marketing expenses which grew at a faster pace than revenue and higher costs associated with the origination and sale of loans into the secondary market. Operating income benefited from decreased amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and lower non-cash compensation expense.

 

Real Estate revenue declined from the prior year period due to reduced close rates, partially offset by an increase in subscription revenue from the agent network. Losses decreased due to lower marketing spending partially offset by start up costs associated with the launch of a brokerage business. Operating losses also decreased due to lower amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.

 

Teleservices reported higher revenue from both new and existing clients. Profits also grew, although not at the same pace as revenue, due to the margin impact of client mix and increased labor costs.

 

Home Services benefited from increased customer service requests and a greater number of service providers in the network. Profits grew slightly more slowly than revenue due to higher marketing costs.

Media & Advertising results were driven primarily by the inclusion of IAC Search & Media (formerly Ask Jeeves Inc., acquired in July 2005), which is not reflected in the prior year results. IAC Search & Media’s share of U.S. search queries grew by 7% over the prior year period to 5.9% in March. Citysearch continued its momentum with strong growth in revenue and user traffic.

 

IAC Search & Media increased revenue by 9% as compared to its prior year period, attributable primarily to search query growth, largely offset by lower revenue per query, in part due to the reduced amount of paid advertising on Ask.com, and lower non-search advertising revenue. Profits declined significantly on a comparable basis with last year due to increased marketing expense, higher revenue share payments to third-party traffic sources and higher other operating expenses. Operating loss for the current period was further impacted by amortization of non-cash marketing expense and intangibles of $5.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

Membership & Subscriptions results were led by improved revenue growth in Vacations and continued worldwide expansion at Personals, which grew paid subscribers by 23% over the prior year period.

 

Vacations revenue growth was driven by a 5% increase in members and 5% growth in confirmations. Profit growth was largely attributable to higher gross margins, driven by 19% growth in confirmations online versus the prior year period.

 

Personals revenue growth benefited from a 23% increase in worldwide paid subscribers and higher pricing versus the prior year. International paid subscribers grew by 20% due to continued expansion in several markets, most notably Scandinavia and Spain. Profit margin declines reflect significantly higher marketing spending internationally as well as increased operating costs related to Chemistry.com, which launched nationally during the quarter. Operating income for the current period was further impacted by amortization of non-cash marketing expense of $3 million.

 

Discounts results continued to reflect disappointing local coupon book sales through schools and community groups, partially offset by higher online and direct sales and revenue at Entertainment Rewards.

OTHER ITEMS

 

Q1 Operating Income Before Amortization was also impacted by a decrease in corporate and other expense to $19.7 million. The prior year period included transactional expenses and intercompany eliminations related to the Expedia spin-off totaling $12.1 million.

 

Q1 operating income was adversely impacted by higher non-cash compensation expense primarily due to the acquisitions of Ask and Cornerstone. Non-cash compensation expense also increased due to equity grants and modifications subsequent to Q1 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R). For Q1 2006 there was no impact to the amount of non-cash stock-based compensation recorded in the consolidated statement of operations due to its adoption. The Company has been recognizing expense for all stock-based grants since August 9, 2005 in accordance with SFAS 123 due to the modification resulting from the Expedia spin-off. IAC’s financial statements for prior periods to January 1, 2006 have not been restated for the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

 

Q1 other income growth was adversely impacted by $26.7 million lower interest income in the current period due to IAC’s sale of its interests in VUE in June 2005, and a $5.3 million loss in Q1 2006 reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives that were created in the Expedia spin-off. The derivatives relate to IAC’s obligation to deliver both IAC and Expedia shares upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants. These declines were partially offset by an increase in the equity income of unconsolidated affiliates due primarily to losses of $21.2 million related to VUE in the prior year period.

 

Q1 net income growth was impacted by the above items, as well as by the decreased contribution of discontinued operations primarily due to the inclusion of Expedia in the prior year period.

 

The effective tax rates for continuing operations and adjusted net income were 42% and 38% in Q1 2006, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes. In addition, continuing operations was unfavorably impacted by interest on tax contingencies, non-deductible changes in the fair value of the derivatives that were created in the Expedia spin-off, and non-deductible non-cash compensation expense. The effective tax rates for continuing operations and adjusted net income were 60% and 42% in Q1 2005, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than the statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and non-deductible transaction costs related to the Expedia spin-off. In addition, continuing operations was unfavorably impacted by non-deductible non-cash compensation expense.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

Free Cash Flow (a)

(a) In accordance with the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R, excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, are included in net cash used in financing activities and therefore not included in Free Cash Flow. Accordingly, amounts presented for operating cash flows and free cash flows for 2006 will be adversely affected in comparison to prior results; however, there is no change in economic substance resulting from this change in reporting classification. Excess tax benefits from stock-based awards in the first quarter of 2005 of $4.2 million were included in net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, consolidated Free Cash Flow decreased by $94.1 million from the prior year period due primarily to cash taxes paid (as compared to a tax refund in the prior year period), and higher capital expenditures, partially offset by higher earnings. Ticketing client cash contributed $16.7 million to the change in cash provided by operating activities, versus $31.9 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow includes an increase in warehouse loans payable in Lending, which is offset by an increase in loans held for sale and is already included in cash provided by operating activities. In its determination of Free Cash Flow, IAC excludes tax payments related to the sale of its interests in VUE because the proceeds on the sale are excluded from cash provided by operating activities and therefore are not in Free Cash Flow.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP. These measures are among 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. These non-GAAP measures 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 measures contained in this release and which we discuss below.

 

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing expense, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, and (4) 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 expense, and acquisition-related accounting.

 

Adjusted Net Income generally captures all items on the statement of operations that have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income available to common shareholders excluding, net of tax effects and minority interest, (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing expense, (2) amortization of intangibles and goodwill impairment, if applicable, (3) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, if applicable, (4) equity income or loss from IAC’s 5.44% interest in VUE and gain on the sale of IAC’s interest in VUE, (5) non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off as a result of both IAC and Expedia shares being issuable upon the conversion of the Ask Convertible Notes and the exercise of certain IAC warrants, (6) one-time items, if applicable and (7) discontinued operations. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents IAC’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses.

 

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted fully diluted shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes. We include dilution from options and warrants per the treasury stock method and include all restricted shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis. In addition, convertible instruments are assumed to be converted in determining shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS, if the effect is dilutive. Shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, IAC’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other charges which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes and minority interest, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have the same limitations as Operating Income Before Amortization, and in addition Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not account for IAC’s former passive ownership in VUE. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, including preferred dividends received from VUE, less capital expenditures and preferred dividends paid by IAC. For purposes of Free Cash Flow, we also include changes in warehouse loans payable in Lending due to the close connection that exists with changes in loans held by sale which are included in cash provided by operations. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes the tax payments related to the sale of IAC’s interests in VUE due to the exclusion of the proceeds on the sale from cash provided by operating activities. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. For example, it does not take into account stock repurchases. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.

IAC’S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING - continued

 

Pro Forma Results

We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS 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 release, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.

 

One-Time Items

Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income are 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. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this release, there are no adjustments for any one-time items.

 

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Our Non-GAAP Measures

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 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. We view the true cost of our restricted stock units as the dilution to our share base, and as such all units are included in our shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes.

 

Amortization of non-cash marketing expense 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 “NBC Universal Advertising”). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost.

 

The NBC Universal Advertising is excluded from Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income 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, 2008 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 and Adjusted Net Income therefore have 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 and will not be replaced with cash costs when the intangibles are fully amortized.

 

Equity income or loss from IAC’s 5.44% common interest in VUE is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because IAC has no operating control over VUE, has no way to forecast this business, and does not consider the results of VUE in evaluating the performance of IAC’s businesses. The gain from the sale in June 2005 of IAC’s interests in VUE and related effects are excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for similar reasons.

 

Non-cash income or expense reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off is excluded from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because the obligations underlying these derivatives, which relate to the Ask Convertible Notes and certain IAC warrants, are expected to ultimately be settled in shares of IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, and not in cash.

 

Free Cash Flow

We look at Free Cash Flow as a measure of the strength and performance of our businesses, not for valuation purposes. In our view, applying “multiples” to Free Cash Flow is inappropriate because it is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events. We manage our business for cash and we think it is of utmost importance to maximize cash – but our primary valuation metrics are Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted EPS. In addition, because Free Cash Flow is subject to timing, seasonality and one-time events, we believe it is not appropriate to annualize quarterly Free Cash Flow results.
