Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Current report

•People Inc. revenue decreased $15.2 million, or 1%, to $1.8 billion, despite the increase of $94.1 million, or 10%, from Digital, net of intersegment eliminations, due to a decrease of $109.3 million, or 14%, from Print.

Current report

•Search revenue decreased $174.8 million, or 45%, to $212.9 million due to decreases of $147.3 million, or 46%, from Ask Media Group due primarily to frequent Google algorithm changes and policy updates, as well as the revised terms of the Services Agreement that became effective April 2025, resulting in a reduction in marketing through affiliate partners, which drove fewer visitors to our ad-supported search and content websites, and $27.5 million, or 41%, from Desktop due primarily to the continued decline in search queries.

Current report

•The People Inc. decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $58.8 million from Print, net of intersegment eliminations, partially offset by an increase of $36.5 million from Digital.

Current report

◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $39.0 million in production and distribution costs (postage, paper, printing and editorial) resulting from the planned reduction in the number of printed copies of certain publications and a corresponding reduction in the amount of paper purchased, $15.3 million in costs primarily related to fulfill political advertising on third-party publisher platforms from an agency business in the prior year and a net decrease of $4.6 million in compensation expense primarily related to headcount reductions to better align the business with strategic growth priorities. Included in the net decrease in compensation expense is an increase of $1.6 million in severance-related costs ($3.7 million in 2025 compared to $2.1 million in 2024).

Current report

•The Emerging & Other decrease was due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year of $7.4 million in expense from Mosaic Group, the assets of which were sold on February 15, 2024, and a decrease of $2.0 million in compensation expense at The Daily Beast resulting from the planned reduction in editorial staff in the prior year.

Current report

Selling and marketing expense in 2025 decreased from 2024 due primarily to decreases of $15.0 million from Emerging & Other and $4.2 million from Care.com, partially offset by an increase of $7.5 million from People Inc.

Current report

•The Care.com decrease was due primarily to a decrease of $3.4 million in advertising expense due to a reduction of certain advertising costs in the first and fourth quarters of 2025, partially offset by an increase in spend related to its rebrand in June 2025.

Current report

•The People Inc. increase was due primarily to an increase of $57.0 million from Digital, partially offset by a decrease of $49.4 million from Print, net of intersegment eliminations.

Current report

◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $18.1 million in subscription acquisition costs due primarily to the on-going portfolio optimization changes that reduced the number of issues produced compared to the prior year, $13.0 million in advertising and events production expense due, in part, to the promotion of branded events in the prior year and a decrease in direct mail marketing spend, $10.8 million in compensation expense due to headcount reductions to better align the business with strategic growth priorities and a decrease in severance-related costs ($2.4 million in 2025 compared to $3.5 million in 2024) and $4.0 million in costs due primarily to commissions on political advertising sold on third-party publisher platforms from an agency business in the prior year.

Current report

•The People Inc. decrease was due primarily to the inclusion in 2025 of net gains of $41.5 million at Other (unallocated corporate expenses) resulting from the amendments to a lease, which provided for the surrender of certain office space early. The ROU asset of the amended lease had been previously impaired in prior years.

Current report

•The Corporate decrease was due primarily to a decrease in compensation expense of $40.5 million, partially offset bythe inclusion in the prior year of a $10.0 million benefit related to a favorable settlement of a legal matter and an increase of $1.4 million intransaction-related costs related to the Distribution ($4.8 million in 2025 compared to $3.3 million in 2024). The decrease in compensation expense was due primarily to a decrease of $51.1 million in stock-based compensation expense due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year of $11.9 million of expense related to our former Chief Executive Officer’s (“CEO”) restricted stock award, which was forfeited on January 13, 2025 pursuant to his employment transition agreement (the “Employment Transition Agreement”) and the reversal in the current year of $49.8 million of previously recognized expense related to the forfeiture of such restricted stock award, partially offset by $14.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the transfer of 5.0 million Class B shares of Angi held by the Company to our former CEO prior to the Distribution pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement. Partially offsetting this decrease in stock-based compensation expense is $15.2 million in separation benefits to our former CEO under the Employment Transition Agreement and $2.7 million in severance and related expenses driven by certain headcount reductions.

Current report

•The Care.com decrease was due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year of $18.8 million in legal accruals due to the resolution of certain legal matters and a decrease of $1.9 million in professional fees, partially offset by an impairment charge of $2.5 million of an ROU asset recognized in 2025.

Current report

•The Search decrease was due primarily to decreases in compensation expense and non-income taxes of $3.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease in compensation expense was due primarily to the planned reduction in headcount. The decrease in non-income taxes resulted from the recognition in the prior year of Canada’s digital services tax, which was effective for the second quarter of 2024 and applied retroactively.

Current report

•The Emerging & Other increase was due primarily to an increase of $19.4 million in legal fees and settlement expenses for litigation that concluded in the third quarter of 2025 related to a legacy business, partially offset by the inclusion in the prior year period of $9.4 million of expense from Mosaic Group, the assets of which were sold on February 15, 2024.

Current report

Product development expense in 2025 decreased from 2024 due primarily to decreases of $15.9 million from People Inc., $12.2 million from Emerging & Other and $2.6 million from Search.

Current report

•The People Inc. decrease was due primarily to decreases of $11.6 million and $4.3 million from Digital and Print, respectively, resulting from decreases in compensation expense related to headcount reductions. The decrease in compensation expense from Digital was net of increased investment in D/Cipher+ and the PEOPLE app.

Current report

•The Search decrease was due primarily to a decrease in compensation expense of $1.5 million related to headcount reductions and a decrease of $1.3 million in third-party costs.

Current report

Depreciation in 2025 decreased from 2024 due primarily to a decrease of $3.4 million at Care.com due primarily to certain capitalized software being fully depreciated in the prior year.

Current report

Amortization of intangibles in 2025 decreased from 2024 due primarily to lower expense at People Inc. due to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized in the prior year.

Current report

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment in 2025 of $207.5 million at Care.com as a result of the Company’s reassessment of the fair value of Care.com in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company’s reassessment of goodwill for the Care.com reporting unit was based on current market conditions. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined using observable market participant data.

Current report

Operating loss increased $68.7 million, or 240%, to $97.4 million, despite the increase of $41.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA, described below, due to a goodwill impairment of $207.5 million at Care.com in 2025, partially offset by decreases of $48.8 million in amortization of intangibles, $45.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and $3.3 million in depreciation. The goodwill impairment and decreases in amortization of intangibles and depreciation are described above. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due primarily to the net impact of $46.8 million related to the inclusion in the prior year of $11.9 million of expense related to our former CEO’s restricted stock award and subsequent reversal of expense in 2025, as described above under “General and administrative expense.”

Current report

Approximately one-half of our consolidated annual Adjusted EBITDA is generated in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. This is due to the concentration of spending by advertisers, which drives higher advertising revenue, and consumer spending, which drives higher performance marketing revenue during the year-end holiday selling season at People Inc.

Current report

•People Inc. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $357.1 million due to a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss of $47.1 million from Other (unallocated corporate expenses), and an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million from Digital, partially offset by a decrease of $3.3 million from Print.

Current report

◦The Other (unallocated corporate expenses) decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss was due primarily to the inclusion in 2025 of net gains of $41.5 million resulting from the amendments to a lease, which provided for the surrender of certain office space early.

Current report

◦The Print Adjusted EBITDA decrease was due primarily to lower revenue, partially offset by lower operating expenses from continued cost rationalization efforts.

Dotdash Meredith revenue consists of digital and print revenue. Digital revenue consists principally of advertising, performance marketing and licensing and other revenue. Print revenue consists principally of subscription, advertising, project and other, newsstand and performance marketing revenue.

Previous report

Advertising revenue is generated primarily through digital advertisements sold by Dotdash Meredith's sales team directly to advertisers or through advertising agencies and programmatic advertising networks. Performance marketing revenue includes commissions generated through affiliate commerce, affinity marketing channels and performance marketing. Affiliate commerce commission revenue is generated when Dotdash Meredith's branded content refers consumers to commerce partner websites resulting in a purchase or transaction. Affinity marketing programs market and place magazine subscriptions online for both Dotdash Meredith and third-party publisher titles. Performance marketing commissions are generated on a cost-per-click or cost-per-action basis. Licensing and other revenue primarily includes revenue generated through brand and content licensing and similar agreements.

Previous report

Subscription revenue relates to the sale of Dotdash Meredith's magazines, including digital editions. Most of Dotdash Meredith's subscription sales are prepaid at the time of order and may be canceled at any time for a refund of the pro rata portion of the initial subscription. Advertising revenue relates to the sale of advertising in magazines directly to advertisers or through advertising agencies. Revenue is recognized on the magazine issue’s on-sale date, which is the date the magazine is published.

Previous report

Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the professional ultimately provides the requested service), revenue from professionals under contract for advertising, membership subscription revenue from professionals and consumers and revenue from other services. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Services revenue primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through an Angi platform and Angi engages a professional to perform the service. International revenue primarily comprises consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from professionals.

Previous report

From January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, Angi modified the Services terms and conditions so that the professional, rather than Angi, has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and Angi's performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the professional. This change in contractual terms requires revenue to be reported as the net amount of what is received from the consumer after deducting the amounts owed to the professional providing the service effective for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2022. There is no impact to operating loss or Adjusted EBITDA from this change in revenue recognition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, if Services revenue were recorded on a net basis, revenue would have been reduced by $242.6 million.

Previous report

◦The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $82.9 million, or 15%, in Advertising Revenue, $16.2 million, or 16%, in Licensing and Other Revenue and $12.8 million, or 6%, in Performance Marketing Revenue. The increase in Advertising Revenue was driven primarily by an increase in premium advertising sold through the Dotdash Meredith sales team in the Technology, Home/Consumer Packaged Goods and Pharmaceuticals categories, as well as higher programmatic revenue as a result of an increase in programmatic rates and an 8% increase in Core Sessions. The increase in Licensing and Other Revenue was due primarily to the addition of the OpenAI partnership, which began in May 2024, and improved performance of content syndication partners including Apple News+, partially offset by a decrease in brand licensing revenue due to lower royalties. The increase in Performance Marketing Revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue, partially offset by a decrease in Performance Marketing revenue in the Finance and Food and Beverage categories.

Current wording

◦The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $46.6 million, or 21%, in Performance marketing revenue, net of intersegment eliminations, $32.9 million, or 28%, in Licensing and Other revenue and $14.6 million, or 2%, in Advertising revenue, net of intersegment eliminations. The increase in Performance marketing revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue due tohigher transaction volumes and the achievement of volume-related retailer incentive programs, partially offset by a decrease in performance marketing service revenue primarily in the Finance category. The increase in Licensing and Other revenue was due primarily to improved performance of Apple News+ and content syndication partners and to the contribution of a full year of OpenAI revenue, a partnership which began in May 2024. The increase in Advertising revenue was due primarily to an increase in premium advertising sold through the People Inc. sales team in the Health and Pharmaceuticals, Technology and Travel categories as well as the increasing contribution from the D/Cipher+ advertising product. The increase in premium advertising was partially offset by lower programmatic revenue primarily due to lower impression volumes driven by a 5% decline in Core Sessions, due primarily to the impact of the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews on Google search sessions, and an increased portion of impression volume consumed by premium advertising, partially offset by higher programmatic rates. The Company expects the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews to continue to negatively impact Core Sessions and advertising revenue.

◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $28.3 million, or 14%, in advertising revenue, $15.2 million, or 13%, in newsstand revenue and $10.3 million, or 23%, in performance marketing revenue, partially offset by an increase of $26.7 million, or 21%, in project and other revenue. The decreases in advertising revenue, newsstand revenue and performance marketing revenue are all due, in part, to a reduction in the number of issues sold in the current year compared to the prior year and the ongoing migration of audience from print to digital platforms. The increase in project and other revenue was due primarily to higher revenue from a legacy agency business due to political advertising spend on third-party publisher platforms.

Current wording

◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $38.5 million, or 12%, in subscription revenue, $36.2 million, or 23%, in project and other revenue, $26.3 million, or 15%, in advertising revenue and $8.8 million, or 25%, in performance marketing revenue. The decreases in subscription revenue, advertising revenue and performance marketing revenue were all due, in part, to ongoing portfolio optimization changes that resulted in a reduction in the number of issues sold in the current year compared to the prior year and the ongoing and continuing broader migration of audience from print to digital platforms. The decrease in project and other revenue was due primarily to the inclusion in 2024 of political advertising spend on third-party publisher platforms from an agency business and fewer project-related contracts compared to the prior year. The Company expects these trends in Print revenue declines to continue due to continuing broader migration of audience from print to digital platforms and our efforts to optimize our ongoing portfolio changes.
