NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

IAC is a leading media and internet company comprised of more than 150 brands and products, including Ask.com, About.com, Match.com, HomeAdvisor.com and Vimeo.com. Focused in the areas of search, applications, online dating, local and media, IAC's network of websites is one of the largest in the world, with more than a billion monthly visits across more than 30 countries. IAC includes the businesses comprising its Search & Applications, Match, Local, Media and Other segments, as well as investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

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

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") 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. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 3, 2013.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of marketable securities and other investments; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the useful lives and recovery of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration; the reserves for income tax contingencies; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in advertising spending behavior or in customer buying behavior could adversely affect our operating results. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"), which expires on March 31, 2016 . Our services agreement requires that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of, our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , revenue earned from Google is $369.9 million and $1.2 billion , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , revenue earned from Google is $357.2 million and $1.0 billion , respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses

comprising the Search & Applications segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $115.0 million at September 30, 2013 and $125.3 million at December 31, 2012 .

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2—INCOME TAXES

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective income 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, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects 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, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit 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 expected annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision in the quarter in which the change occurs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $36.1 million and $101.3 million , respectively, which represents effective income tax rates of 28% and 33% , respectively. The effective rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the realization of certain beginning of the year deferred tax assets in the current period and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by state taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $27.6 million and $83.4 million , respectively, which represents effective income tax rates of 37% and 40% , respectively. The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state taxes and interest on reserves for tax contingencies, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to an increase in reserves for and interest on reserves for tax contingencies, a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset created by the News_Beast (formerly The Newsweek/DailyBeast Company) non-cash re-measurement charge related to our acquisition of a controlling interest, and state taxes, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates and a net decrease in the valuation allowance on the beginning of the year deferred tax assets related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

On August 28, 2013, the Joint Committee of Taxation completed its review and approved the audit settlement previously agreed to with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2009 is extended through June 30, 2014. The resolution of this IRS examination resulted in a net liability to the IRS of $7.1 million . At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $415.5 million and $496.8 million , respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, at September 30, 2013 decreased by $81.3 million due principally to the settlement of the audit of the federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The reduction of unrecognized tax benefits was substantially offset by a reduction of receivables related to the same period. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2013 , $401.0 million is included in "Income taxes payable," $14.0 million relates to deferred tax assets included in "Deferred income taxes" and $0.5 million is included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2013 is $47.9 million relating to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2013 are subsequently recognized, $119.6 million and $170.2 million , net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense for continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is a $0.5 million expense and a $1.4 million benefit, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, for

interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is a $3.4 million and a $0.6 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company has accrued $125.3 million and $117.5 million , respectively, for the payment of interest. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company has accrued $4.9 million and $5.0 million , respectively, 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 income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. Various jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are France, California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2006. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income 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 change within twelve months of the current reporting date. An estimate of changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Twoo

On January 4, 2013, Meetic S.A., a Match subsidiary, purchased all the outstanding shares of Massive Media NV, which operates Twoo, a social discovery website that allows its users to meet new people. The purchase price was $25.0 million in cash, plus potential additional consideration of up to €83.2 million (or $112.2 million using the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) that is contingent upon a combination of earnings performance and user growth through December 31, 2015. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $40.8 million . See Note 5 for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration arrangement.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

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

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

• 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. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

• 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 assets or liabilities. See below for a discussion of fair value measurements made using Level 3 inputs.

The following tables present the Company's financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Auction rate security

The Company's auction rate security is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flow streams of the security over the life of the security. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing fair value. The cost basis of the auction rate security is $10.0 million , with gross unrealized losses of $0.7 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. The unrealized losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2013 , the auction rate security is rated A-/WR and matures in 2035 . The Company does not consider the auction rate security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2013 , due to its high credit rating and because the Company does not intend to sell this security, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security, before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

Contingent Consideration Arrangement

The contingent consideration arrangement entered into in 2013 arose from the acquisition of Twoo (see Note 3 for additional information). The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was determined using a probability-weighted analysis, and reflects a discount rate of 15% , which captures the risks associated with the obligation. The probability-weighted analysis consists of the Company's multi-scenario forecasts of Twoo's earnings and the number of users of Twoo.com in accordance with the contingent consideration arrangement through December 31, 2015, and the Company's estimate of the probability of each scenario occurring. These multi-scenario forecasts and related probability assessments were based primarily on management's internal projections and strategic plans, with limited additional consideration given to growth trends of similarly situated businesses. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement is sensitive to changes in the discount rate and changes in the forecasts of earnings and website users. The Company remeasures the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement each reporting period, and changes are recognized in “General and administrative expense” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The contingent consideration arrangement liability at September 30, 2013 includes a current portion of $3.9 million and non-current portion of $45.0 million , which are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The contingent consideration arrangement in 2012 related to OkCupid, acquired in January 2011.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the carrying values of the Company's investments accounted for under the cost method totaled $119.2 million and $113.8 million , respectively, and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company evaluates each cost method investment for possible impairment on a quarterly basis and determines the fair value if indicators of impairment are deemed to be present; the Company recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

Financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes

The following table presents the carrying value and the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes:

Certain domestic subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed the 2012 Senior Notes. See Note 12 for guarantor and non-guarantor financial information.

The indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes contains covenants that would limit our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions and repurchase or redeem our stock in the event a default has occurred or we are not in compliance with the financial ratio set forth in the indenture. At September 30, 2013 , there were no limitations pursuant thereto. There are additional covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the event we are not in compliance with the financial ratio set forth in the indenture, and (ii) incur liens, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires on December 21, 2017. The annual fee to maintain the revolving credit facility is currently 25 basis points. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. IAC's obligation under the

(a) If the effect is dilutive, 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 ("RSUs"). As of May 8, 2012 , there are no warrants outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , approximately 0.3 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , approximately 0.3 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(b) Performance-based stock units ("PSUs") are included in the denominator for earnings per share if (i) the applicable performance condition(s) has been met and (ii) the inclusion of the PSUs is dilutive for the respective reporting periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 , approximately 0.1 million PSUs that are probable of vesting were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the performance conditions had not been met. At September 30, 2012 , there were approximately 2.3 million PSUs included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their performance conditions had been met. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , approximately 0.6 million PSUs that were probable of vesting were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the performance conditions had not been met.

NOTE 9—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 views the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they meet certain aggregation criteria, which principally relate to the similarity of their economic characteristics or, in the case of the "Other" reportable segment, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate operating segments.

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 and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments and (5) one-time items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IAC's segments, taking

into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition-related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-U.S. GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable U.S. GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-U.S. GAAP measure.

The following tables reconcile Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income (loss) for the Company's reportable segments:

NOTE 10—SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The consideration for the acquisition of Twoo on January 4, 2013 includes a contingent consideration arrangement, which is described in Note 3 and Note 5.

NOTE 11—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. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See Note 2 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 12—GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

Search & Applications revenue increased 10% to $407.3 million , reflecting growth from Websites (which includes Ask.com, About.com, CityGrid Media and Dictionary.com) and Applications (which includes our direct to consumer downloadable applications business (B2C) and our partnership operations (B2B), as well as our Ask.com and Dictionary.com downloadable applications). Websites revenue grew 17% to $214.9 million, reflecting the contribution from The About Group, acquired September 24, 2012, which had revenue of $33.7 million, and CityGrid Media, which has been moved from the Local segment and included in the Search & Applications segment, effective July 1, 2013, following its reorganization in the second quarter of 2013. Applications revenue increased modestly to $192.4 million.

Match revenue increased 13% to $ 201.1 million driven by increases from Core, Meetic and Developing subscribers of 9%, 9% and 99%, respectively. Core revenue (which consists of Match.com in the U.S., Chemistry and People Media), Meetic revenue and Developing revenue (which includes OkCupid, DateHookup, Twoo and Match's international operations, excluding Meetic) increased 7% to $118.8 million; 11% to $56.3 million; and 58% to $26.0 million, respectively. Developing revenue further benefited from the contribution of Twoo, which was acquired January 4, 2013.

Local revenue decreased 26% to $62.8 million due to the move of CityGrid Media, from the Local segment to the Search & Applications segment, effective July 1, 2013, following its reorganization in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by Felix, a pay-per-call advertising service acquired August 20, 2012, which is not in the full prior year period.

Media revenue decreased 3% to $51.0 million reflecting the impact from the closure of the Newsweek print business in December 2012, partially offset by strong growth from Electus and Vimeo.

Other revenue increased 21% to $35.1 million primarily due to the contribution from Tutor.com, an online tutoring solution which was acquired December 14, 2012, and increased sales at Shoebuy.

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to our services agreement with Google Inc. ("Google"), which expires on March 31, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, revenue earned from Google was $369.9 million and $357.2 million , respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

Search & Applications revenue increased 16% to $1.2 billion , reflecting strong growth from both Websites and Applications. Websites revenue grew 18% to $607.5 million, reflecting the $101.8 million contribution from The About Group, acquired September 24, 2012. Applications revenue grew 14% to $624.5 million, driven by increased contributions from existing and new B2C products and B2B partners.

Match revenue increased 10% to $584.3 million driven by the increases in subscribers as described above in the three month discussion. Core revenue, Meetic revenue and Developing revenue increased 6% to $348.6 million; 9% to $166.1 million; and 40% to $69.6 million, respectively. Meetic revenue in 2012 of $152.2 million was negatively impacted by the write-off of $5.2 million of deferred revenue in connection with its acquisition.

Local revenue decreased 10% to $222.5 million , primarily reflecting the move of CityGrid Media to the Search & Applications segment and a decline from HomeAdvisor, partially offset by the contribution of Felix. HomeAdvisor domestic revenue was negatively impacted by a 12% decrease in accepted service requests due primarily to its domain name change.

Media revenue increased 44% to $154.3 million primarily due to strong growth from Electus and Vimeo.

Other revenue increased 18% to $106.1 million primarily due to the factors described above in the three months discussion.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, revenue earned from Google was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion , respectively.

Cost of revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

	Three Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Cost of revenue	$248,856	$(13,419)	(5)%	$262,275
As a percentage of revenue	33%			37%

Cost of revenue consists primarily of traffic acquisition costs. Traffic acquisition costs consist of payments made to partners who distribute our B2B customized browser-based applications, integrate our paid listings into their websites or direct traffic to our websites. These payments include amounts based on revenue share and other arrangements. Cost of revenue also includes Shoebuy's cost of products sold and shipping and handling costs, production costs related to media produced by Electus and other businesses within our Media segment, content acquisition costs, expenses associated with the operation of the Company's data centers, including compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in data center functions, rent, energy and bandwidth costs.

Cost of revenue in 2013 decreased from 2012 primarily due to decreases of $12.8 million from Local and $6.1 million from Media, partially offset by an increase of $3.7 million from Other. The decrease in cost of revenue from Local is due to the move of CityGrid Media to the Search & Applications segment, effective July 1, 2013. Cost of revenue from Media decreased primarily due to reduced expenses related to the transition of Newsweek to a digital only publication in January 2013 (and was subsequently sold in August 2013), partially offset by increased production costs at Electus related to the increase in its revenue

and the write-off of certain capitalized production costs at College Humor. The increase in cost of revenue from Other is due to an increase in the cost of products sold at Shoebuy resulting from increased sales and Tutor.com, which was acquired December 14, 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

	Nine Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Cost of revenue	$777,527	$54,648	8%	$722,879
As a percentage of revenue	34%			36%

Cost of revenue in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to increases of $36.2 million from Search & Applications, $20.5 million from Media and $11.3 million from Other, partially offset by a decrease of $13.4 million from Local. The increase in cost of revenue from Search & Applications was primarily due to an increase of $17.2 million in traffic acquisition costs driven by increased revenue from our B2B operations and the inclusion of CityGrid Media in the Search & Applications segment, effective July 1, 2013. Further impacting cost of revenue at Search & Applications is an increase in content acquisition costs due to the acquisition of The About Group. As a percentage of revenue, traffic acquisition costs at Search & Applications decreased compared to the prior year due to an increase in the proportion of revenue from Websites which resulted from the acquisition of The About Group. Cost of revenue from Media increased primarily due to increased production costs at Electus, partially offset by decreased expenses related to Newsweek. The increase from Other and the decrease from Local are primarily due to the factors described above in the three months discussion.

Selling and marketing expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

	Three Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Selling and marketing expense	$248,282	$13,152	6%	$235,130
As a percentage of revenue	33%			33%

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 sales, sales support and customer service functions. Advertising and promotional expenditures include online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and third parties that distribute our B2C downloadable applications, and offline marketing, which is primarily television advertising.

Selling and marketing expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to increases of $8.8 million from Match, $3.1 million from Media and $2.2 million from Search & Applications. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Match is primarily due to increases of $5.8 million and $2.4 million in advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs, respectively. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is primarily due to an increase in headcount at Meetic. Selling and marketing expense at Media increased primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in online marketing spend at Vimeo. The increase in selling and marketing expense from Search & Applications is primarily due to the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012, and an increase of $2.8 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in both online and offline marketing spend at Ask.com.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

	Nine Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Selling and marketing expense	$738,349	$73,181	11%	$665,168
As a percentage of revenue	32%			33%

Selling and marketing expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to increases of $36.5 million from Search & Applications, $20.6 million from Match, $8.6 million from Media and $6.4 million from Local. The increase from Search & Applications is primarily due to increases of $22.9 million and $11.2 million in online marketing spend and compensation and other employee-related costs, respectively. The increase in online marketing from Search & Applications is primarily related to new B2C downloadable applications and the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012. Selling and marketing expense from Match and Media increased primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. The increase from Local is primarily due to an increase of $11.1 million in advertising and promotional expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $3.6 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. The increase in advertising and promotional expenses from Local is due to $6.9 million in marketing spend primarily related to the re-branding of the HomeAdvisor domain name and the inclusion of Felix, which is not in the full prior year period. The decrease in compensation and other employee-related costs at Local is primarily due to staff reductions associated with the CityGrid Media reorganization that took place in the second quarter of 2013.

General and administrative expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

	Three Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
General and administrative expense	$75,977	$(17,097)	(18)%	$93,074
As a percentage of revenue	10%			13%

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

General and administrative expense in 2013 decreased from 2012 primarily due to decreases of $10.9 million from Local, $8.0 million from Corporate and $4.5 million from Media, partially offset by increases of $2.9 million from Match and $2.6 million from Search & Applications. The decrease in general and administrative expense from Local is primarily due to the inclusion of an $8.4 million gain on the sale of Rezbook assets in July 2013. General and administrative expense from Corporate decreased primarily due to a decrease of $7.4 million in non-cash compensation expense related primarily to the vesting of certain awards. The decrease in general and administrative expense from Media is primarily due to the inclusion of a $6.3 million gain related to the sale of Newsweek in August 2013. The increase in general and administrative expense from Match is primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs due in part to recent acquisitions. General and administrative expense from Search & Applications increased primarily due to the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

	Nine Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
General and administrative expense	$275,216	$4,031	1%	$271,185
As a percentage of revenue	12%			13%

General and administrative expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to increases of $9.2 million from Search & Applications, $7.4 million from Media and $7.2 million from Match, partially offset by a decrease of $20.3 million from Corporate. The increase in general and administrative expense from Search & Applications and the decrease from Corporate are primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Non-cash compensation expense from Corporate was further impacted by an increase in the number of awards forfeited as compared to the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expense from Media resulted from the inclusion of News_Beast, which was consolidated beginning June 1, 2012, and increases in compensation and other employee-related costs at Electus and Vimeo, partially offset by a $6.3 million gain related to the sale of Newsweek in August 2013. General and administrative expense from Match increased primarily due to $6.3 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments that arose from the acquisition of Twoo in the first quarter of 2013.

Product development expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

	Three Months Ended September 30, — 2013	$ Change	% Change	2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Product development expense	$35,232	$7,636	28%	$27,596
As a percentage of revenue	5%			4%

Product development expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology.

Product development expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to an increase of $5.3 million from Search & Applications. The increase in product development expense from Search & Applications is primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012, and an increase in headcount related to new B2C products.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

The increase in product development expense from Search & Applications is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Product development expense from Media increased primarily due to News_Beast, which was consolidated beginning June 1, 2012.

Depreciation	$13,489	$339	3%	$13,150
As a percentage of revenue	2%			2%

Depreciation in 2013 increased from 2012 resulting from the incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures made subsequent to the third quarter of 2012 and various acquisitions, partially offset by certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

Search & Applications Operating Income Before Amortization increased 37% to $94.6 million , benefiting from the higher revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $5.3 million in product development expense, $2.6 million in general and administrative expense and $2.2 million in selling and marketing expense. The increase in both product development expense and general and administrative expense is primarily due to an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs related to the inclusion of The About Group. Product development expense was also impacted by an increase in headcount related to new B2C products. The increase in selling and marketing expense is driven by the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012, and an increase of $2.8 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in both online and offline marketing spend at Ask.com.

Match Operating Income Before Amortization increased 14% to $ 68.4 million , primarily due to the higher revenue noted above and operating expense leverage.

Local Operating Income Before Amortization increased 59% to $12.4 million primarily due to the inclusion of the $8.4 million gain on the sale of Rezbook assets in July 2013.

Media Operating Income Before Amortization loss decreased 35% to a loss of $8.0 million primarily due to the inclusion of a $6.3 million gain related to the sale of Newsweek in August 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

Search & Applications Operating Income Before Amortization increased 31% to $284.3 million , benefiting from the higher revenue noted above, partially offset by increases of $36.5 million in selling and marketing expense, $36.2 million in cost of revenue, $16.2 million in product development expense and $9.2 million in general and administrative expense. The increase in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to new B2C downloadable applications and the inclusion of The About Group, which was acquired on September 24, 2012. The increase in costs of revenue is primarily due to an increase in traffic acquisition costs driven by increased revenue from our B2B operations and the inclusion of CityGrid Media in the Search & Applications segment, effective July 1, 2013 and an increase in content acquisition costs due to the acquisition of The About Group. The increase in both product development expense and general and administrative expense is primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Search & Applications Operating Income Before Amortization was further impacted in the current year by the write-off of $2.7 million in capitalized software costs at The About Group primarily related to projects that commenced prior to its acquisition.

Match Operating Income Before Amortization increased 14% to $182.4 million due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

Local Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 43% to $13.4 million reflecting the decrease in revenue noted above and an increase of $6.4 million in selling and marketing expense and $4.2 million in employee termination costs associated with the CityGrid Media reorganization that took place in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to marketing costs related to the re-branding of the HomeAdvisor domain name and the inclusion of Felix, which is not in the full prior year period. Partially offsetting the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization is the inclusion of the $8.4 million Rezbook gain described above in the three month discussion.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

Operating income in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to the increase of $43.4 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $9.0 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by increases of $7.8 million in amortization of intangibles and $0.6 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments. The decrease in non-cash compensation expense is primarily a result of the vesting of certain awards. The increase in amortization of intangibles is primarily related to the acquisition of The About Group. The acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustment arose from the acquisition of Twoo in the first quarter of 2013.

At September 30, 2013, there was $95.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

Operating income in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to the increase of $82.1 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a decrease of $26.4 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by increases of $27.2 million in amortization of intangibles and $6.3 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value

adjustments. The decrease in non-cash compensation expense and increases in amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments are due to the factors described above in the three month discussion. Non-cash compensation expense during 2013 also reflects an increase in the number of awards forfeited as compared to the prior year. Amortization of intangibles was further impacted in 2013 by a $3.4 million impairment charge associated with an indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the CityGrid Media restructuring in the second quarter of 2013.

Income tax provision	$(36,126)	NM	NM	$(27,606)

In 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $36.1 million , which represents an effective income tax rate of 28% . The 2013 effective rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the realization of certain beginning of the year deferred tax assets in the current period and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by state taxes. In 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $27.6 million , which represents an effective income tax rate of 37% . The 2012 effective rate is higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state taxes and interest on reserves for tax contingencies, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.

In 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $101.3 million , which represents an effective income tax rate of 33% . The 2013 effective rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the realization of certain beginning of the year deferred tax assets in the current period and foreign income taxed at lower rates, partially offset by state taxes. In 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $83.4 million , which represents an effective income tax rate of 40% . The 2012 effective rate is higher than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to an increase in reserves for and interest on reserves for tax contingencies, a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset created by the News_Beast non-cash re-measurement charge related to our acquisition of a controlling interest, and state taxes, partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates and a net decrease in the valuation allowance on the beginning of the year deferred tax assets related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

On August 28, 2013 the Joint Committee of Taxation completed its review and approved the audit settlement previously agreed to with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2009 is extended through June 30, 2014. The resolution of this IRS examination resulted in a net liability to the IRS of $7.1 million . At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $290.3 million and $379.3 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2013 decreased $89.0 million from December 31, 2012 due principally to the settlement of the audit of the federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The reduction of unrecognized tax benefits was substantially offset by a reduction of receivables related to the same period. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is a $0.5 million expense and a $1.4 million benefit, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations and discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is a $3.4 million and a $0.6 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has accrued $125.3 million and $117.5 million , respectively, for the payment of interest. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has accrued $4.9 million and $5.0 million , respectively, 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 income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. Various jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are France, California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2006 . Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonable possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could change within twelve months of the current reporting date. An estimate of changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2013, the Company had $741.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $ 26.3 million of marketable securities, and $580.0 million of long-term debt. Domestically, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds and commercial paper rated A2/P2 or better. Internationally, cash equivalents primarily consist of time deposits and AAA rated money market funds. Marketable securities consist of equity securities and a short-to-intermediate-term debt security issued by an investment grade Corporate issuer. The Company only invests in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and the ability to readily convert investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. From time to time, the Company may invest in marketable equity securities as part of its investment strategy. Long-term debt is comprised of $500.0 million in 2012 Senior Notes due December 15, 2022 and $80.0 million in Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035.

At September 30, 2013, $282.6 million of the $741.7 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. If needed for our operations in the U.S., most of the cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries could be repatriated to the U.S. but, under current law, would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and we have not provided for any such tax. However, the Company currently does not anticipate a need to repatriate these funds to finance our U.S. operations and it is the Company's intent to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S.

In summary, the Company's cash flows attributable to continuing operations are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, — 2013	2012
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$324,330	$323,607
Net cash used in investing activities	(66,484)	(387,586)
Net cash used in financing activities	(269,163)	(138,876)

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of earnings or loss from continuing operations adjusted for non-cash items, including non-cash compensation expense, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, deferred income taxes, asset impairment charges, equity in earnings or losses of unconsolidated affiliates, acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments, gain on sales of long-term investments, gain on sales of assets and the effect of changes in working capital activities. Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations in 2013 was $324.3 million and consists of earnings from continuing operations of $203.0 million , adjustments for non-cash items of $ 89.9 million and cash provided by working capital activities of $31.5 million . Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consists of $45.2 million of amortization of intangibles, $44.5 million of depreciation, $38.8 million of non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by $26.4 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based awards, $18.1 million of gain on sales of long-term investments and $14.8 million of gain on sales of assets. The increase in cash from changes in working capital activities primarily consists of an increase in income taxes payable of $48.1 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $10.8 million , partially offset by an increase of $19.9 million in other current assets and a decrease of $6.2 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities. The increase in income taxes payable is due to current year income tax accruals in excess of current year income tax payments. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to a $15.9 million decrease in accounts receivable related to Newsweek's transition to a digital only publication and our services agreement with Google; the related receivable from Google was $115.0 million and $125.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable at Electus due to higher revenue. The increase in other current assets is primarily due to an increase in short-term and long-term production costs at certain of our media businesses that are capitalized as the television program, video or film is being produced. The decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities is due primarily to a decrease at Search & Applications relating to timing of VAT payments and the timing and magnitude of revenue share and marketing payments, as well as the transition of Newsweek to a digital only publication. These decreases were partially offset by an increase relating to timing of bonus payments.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2013 of $66.5 million includes cash consideration used in acquisitions and investments of $66.1 million , which includes the acquisition of Twoo, and capital

expenditures of $64.1 million , which includes $23.6 million related to the purchase of a 50% ownership interest in an aircraft, partially offset by net maturities and sales of marketable debt securities and sales of long-term investments of $54.8 million .

Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2013 of $269.2 million includes $168.4 million for the repurchase of 2.9 million shares of common stock at an average price of $46.27 per share, $58.9 million related to the payment of cash dividends to IAC shareholders, $55.6 million for the purchase of noncontrolling interests in Meetic and a subsidiary of HomeAdvisor, and $15.8 million for the payment of our 2002 Senior Notes, which were due January 15, 2013, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $26.4 million .

Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations in 2012 was $323.6 million and consists of earnings from continuing operations of $125.4 million , adjustments for non-cash items of $142.1 million and cash provided by working capital activities of $56.0 million . Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consists of $65.3 million of non-cash compensation expense, $37.5 million of depreciation, $28.2 million of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, which includes a non-cash charge of $21.6 million to re-measure the carrying value of our investment in News_Beast to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in May 2012 and $18.1 million of amortization of intangibles, partially offset by $23.5 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based awards. The increase in cash from changes in working capital activities primarily consists of an increase in income taxes payable of $53.0 million , an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $18.7 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $10.6 million , partially offset by an increase of $16.4 million in accounts receivable and an increase of $9.7 million in other current assets. The increase in income taxes payable is due to current year income tax accruals in excess of current year income tax payments. The increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities is primarily due to an increase in accrued advertising expense and an increase in accrued revenue share expense, partially offset by a decrease in accrued employee compensation and benefits and a decrease in amounts payable to suppliers at our Shoebuy business. The increase in accrued advertising expense is primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenditures at Search & Applications. The increase in accrued revenue share expense is primarily due to an increase in traffic acquisition costs at Search & Applications. The decrease in accrued employee compensation and benefits is due to the payment of the 2011 discretionary cash bonus in 2012. The increase in deferred revenue is primarily due to the growth in subscription revenue at Match, which includes an increase of $6.7 million in deferred revenue at Meetic, as well as growth at Vimeo. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to the growth in revenue at Search & Applications earned from our services agreement with Google; the related receivable from Google was $125.3 million and $105.7 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. While our Match and HomeAdvisor businesses experienced growth, the accounts receivable at these businesses are principally credit card receivables and, accordingly, are not significant in relation to the revenue of these businesses. The increase in other current assets is primarily related to the increase in short-term production costs at certain of our media businesses that are capitalized as the television program, video or film is being produced.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2012 of $387.6 million includes cash consideration used in acquisitions and investments of $387.2 million primarily related to the acquisition of The About Group, and capital expenditures of $32.4 million primarily related to the internal development of software to support our products and services, partially offset by net maturities and sales of marketable debt securities and sales of long-term investments of $44.2 million .

Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2012 of $138.9 million includes $434.0 million for the repurchase of 9.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $46.37 per share and $43.7 million related to the payment of cash dividends to IAC shareholders, partially offset by proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, net of withholding taxes of $320.1 million and excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $23.5 million . Included in the proceeds related to the issuance of common stock are proceeds of $284.1 million from the exercise of warrants to acquire 11.7 million shares of IAC common stock, some of which were exercised on a cashless or net basis. The weighted average strike price of the warrants was $28.40 per share.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as well as its cash flows generated from operations. The Company has a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires on December 21, 2017 and is available as an additional source of financing. At September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The Company anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. Capital expenditures in 2013 will be higher than 2012. At September 30, 2013, IAC had 10.2

million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization. IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook. On October 29, 2013, IAC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share of common and Class B common stock outstanding payable on December 1, 2013 to stockholders of record on November 15, 2013.

The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with its expected positive cash flows generated from operations and available borrowing capacity under its $300.0 million revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, share repurchases, quarterly cash dividends, and investing and other commitments for the next twelve months. Our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services. The Company may make acquisitions and investments that could reduce its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and as a result, the Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available at all or on terms favorable to us.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERICAL COMMITMENTS

At September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes to the Company's contractual obligations, commercial commitments and off-balance sheet arrangements since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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. 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 GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

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 and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments and (5) one-time items. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition-related accounting.

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 the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. GAAP results include one-time items. For the periods presented in this report, there are no adjustments for 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 stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based RSUs. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for stock options and RSUs are included on a treasury method basis, and for performance-based RSUs are included on a treasury method basis once the performance conditions are met. Upon the exercise of certain stock options and vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs, 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 intangibles (including impairment of intangibles, if applicable) and goodwill impairment (if applicable) are non-cash expenses relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as content, technology, customer lists, advertiser and supplier relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration fair value adjustments are accounting adjustments to record contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or ongoing costs of doing business.

RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME BEFORE AMORTIZATION

Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements includes a reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating income (loss) by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

At September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes to the Company's instruments or positions that are sensitive to market risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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 its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, 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"), IAC management, including the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report 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 IAC management, including the Chairman and Senior Executive, the Chief Executive Officer and the 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, the Company concluded that there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

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 IAC 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 these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others: changes in senior management at IAC and/or its businesses, changes in our relationship with, or policies implemented by, Google, adverse changes in economic conditions, either generally or in any of the markets or industries in which IAC's businesses operate, adverse trends in the online advertising industry or the advertising industry generally, our ability to convert visitors to our various websites into users and customers, our ability to offer new or alternative products and services in a cost-effective manner and consumer acceptance of these products and services, changes in industry standards and technology, actual tax liabilities that differ materially from our estimates, operational and financial risks relating to acquisitions, our ability to expand successfully into international markets and regulatory changes. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in IAC's filings with the SEC, including in Part I "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and operating results 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 quarterly report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results. The risks described in this report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or future operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company may purchase shares pursuant to these repurchase authorizations over an indefinite period of time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.
