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,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: the future financial performance of IAC and its businesses, business prospects and strategy, the anticipated benefits of the completed Angi Inc. spin-off, the reorganization of IAC’s leadership, anticipated trends and prospects in the industries in which IAC’s businesses operate and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on IAC management’s expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this quarterly report, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) our ability to market our products and services in a successful and cost-effective manner, (ii) the display prominence of links to websites offering our products and services in search results, (iii) changes in our relationship with (or policies implemented by) Google, (iv) our ability to compete with generative artificial intelligence technology and the related disruption to marketing technologies, (v) the failure or delay of the markets and industries in which our businesses operate to migrate online and the continued growth and acceptance of online products and services as effective alternatives to traditional products and services, (vi) our continued ability to develop and monetize versions of our products and services for mobile and other digital devices, (vii) unstable market and economic conditions (particularly those that adversely impact advertising spending levels and consumer confidence and spending behavior), either generally and/or in any of the markets in which our businesses operate, as well as geopolitical conflicts, (viii) the ability of our Digital business to successfully expand the digital reach of our portfolio of publishing brands, (ix) our continued ability to market, distribute and monetize our products and services through search engines, digital app stores, advertising networks and social media platforms, (x) risks related to our Print business (declining revenue, increased paper and postage costs, reliance on a single supplier to print our magazines and potential increases in pension plan obligations), (xi) our ability to establish and maintain relationships with quality and trustworthy caregivers, (xii) our ability to access, collect, use and protect the personal data of our users and subscribers, (xiii) our ability to engage directly with users, subscribers, consumers, professionals and caregivers on a timely basis, (xiv) the ability of our Chairman and Senior Executive and certain members of his family to exercise significant influence over the composition of our board of directors, matters subject to stockholder approval and our operations, (xv) risks related to our liquidity and indebtedness (the impact of our indebtedness on our ability to operate our business, our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness and interest rate risk), (xvi) our inability to freely access the cash of DDM and its subsidiaries, (xvii) dilution with respect to investments in IAC, (xviii) our ability to compete, (xix) our ability to build, maintain and/or enhance our various brands, (xx) our ability to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks (including cyberattacks experienced by third parties with whom we do business), (xxi) the occurrence of data security breaches and/or fraud, (xxii) increased liabilities and costs related to the processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal and confidential user information, (xxiii) the integrity, quality, efficiency and scalability of our systems, technology and infrastructure (and those of third parties with whom we do business), (xxiv) changes in key personnel and risks related to leadership transitions and (xxv) changes to our capital deployment strategy.
Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are described in IAC’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our annual report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). 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 quarterly 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 quarterly report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
