NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

        IAC/InterActiveCorp's operating businesses provide products and services through a diversified portfolio of specialized and global brands and enable billions of dollars of consumer direct transactions and advertising for products and services via interactive distribution channels. All references to "IAC," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" in this report are to IAC/InterActiveCorp.

        On November 5, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies:

        In this report, we refer to this transaction as the "Proposed Spin-Offs." The Proposed Spin-Offs are subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, final approval of the transaction specifics by the Company's Board of Directors, confirmation regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, and the filing and effectiveness of registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Proposed Spin-Offs are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008. Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-Offs, IAC would have no ownership interest in HSNi, Ticketmaster, ILG and Tree.com.

        During the first quarter of 2008, in contemplation of the Proposed Spin-Offs, IAC reorganized its Retailing, Ticketmaster and Emerging Businesses reporting segments. Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were previously included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster reporting segments, respectively, are now included in the Emerging Businesses segment. Information for all prior periods has been restated for comparative purposes. In addition, the goodwill related to Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica has been reflected in Emerging Businesses for all periods presented. The entities that are expected to comprise IAC after the completion of the Proposed Spin-Offs are referred to collectively herein as "New IAC." IAC's Retailing, Interval and LendingTree reporting segments have been renamed HSNi, ILG and Tree.com, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Accounting Estimates

        Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: inventory reserves; sales returns and other revenue allowances; recovery of marketable securities; the allowance for doubtful accounts; reserves for losses associated with loans held for sale and loans that have been previously sold; recoverability of long-lived assets; recovery of goodwill and intangibles; income taxes payable and deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; various other allowances, reserves and accruals; and assumptions related to the determination of stock based compensation.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

        Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the process is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the first step, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit by using various valuation techniques with the primary method employed being a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgments, including judgments about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The estimates of fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets are determined using a DCF valuation analysis. Common among such approaches is the "relief from royalty" methodology, which is the principal method used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its trade names and trademarks. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the determination of royalty rates, discount rates and the terminal growth rates.

        Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, primarily trade names and trademarks, are tested annually for impairment as of October 1 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

Long-term Investments

        On June 19, 2007, as part of the consideration for the sale of Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated TV station HSE 24 ("HSE") to Arcandor AG ("ARO"), IAC received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock (the "ARO Shares") valued at €141 million or $190.1 million plus additional consideration in the form of a contingent value right ("CVR"). The CVR has a value of up to €54 million within three years. The ultimate value of the CVR is dependent, in part, upon the average closing value of the ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). To the extent that the Average Value is equal to or less than €141 million, IAC will receive a cash payment equal to €54 million. To the extent that the Average Value is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. To the extent that the Average Value is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the closing value of an ARO share equals or exceeds €35.68 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days during the three year period from June 20, 2007 through June 19, 2010, the CVR expires without any payment being made. The CVR is accounted for as a derivative asset and maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized in current earnings as a component of other income in the consolidated statement of operations each period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in gains of $6.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which were recognized in current earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in a gain of $1.9 million, which was recognized in current earnings. The CVR was valued at $69.7 million at June 30, 2008 and $54.7 million at December 31, 2007. The ARO stock is an available-for-sale marketable security that is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and is included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, with a carrying value of $63.8 million at June 30, 2008 and $130.8 million at December 31, 2007. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company concluded that the decline in price of the ARO Shares was other-than-temporary and thus recorded a $132.6 million impairment charge that is included in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The loss was determined to be other-than-temporary due to (1) the significant, 72% decline in the ARO stock price from €25.90 at June 19, 2007 to €7.38 at June 30, 2008, and the duration of the decline in the ARO stock price and (2) the Company's assessment of the near-to-medium term prospects for a recovery to levels proximate to the initial carrying value of the ARO Shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively, except as it relates to disclosures, for which the effects will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Reclassifications

        The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 and statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 have been reclassified to present Entertainment Publications, Inc. ("EPI"), which was previously reported in IAC's Entertainment segment, as a discontinued operation. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Restatement of Prior Period Consolidated Financial Statements

        Prior to the fourth quarter 2007, ILG improperly recorded deferred revenue and certain related direct costs. The error was due primarily to the recognition of membership renewal revenue beginning in the month a member renewed its membership rather than beginning with the actual start date of the renewal period. The Company has restated its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        Effective April 1, 2007, the Company began to capitalize and amortize the costs associated with certain arrangements that require it to pay a fee per access point delivered. These access points are generally in the form of downloadable search toolbars associated with the Company's Media & Advertising businesses. These fees are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the access points to the extent the Company can reasonably estimate a probable future economic benefit and the period over which such benefit will be realized (generally 18 months). Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred. For fees paid prior to April 1, 2007, such benefit or period could not be reasonably estimated and the fees were charged to expense as incurred. The effect of capitalizing and amortizing these costs was to reduce expense by $5.2 million and $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 3—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges related to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of HSNi of $221.5 million and $78.5 million, respectively, and $132.5 million and $33.4 million, respectively, related to Tree.com. The charges related to the impairment of intangible assets are included in amortization of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

        The impairments at HSNi were recorded at its Cornerstone reporting unit and are due, in part, to the significant deterioration in the macro economic environment for retailers, particularly in the home and apparel categories (which are Cornerstone's primary markets), the negative impact of this environment on Cornerstone's performance and the related reduction in market valuations for retailers. The effect of these market conditions has been exacerbated by execution issues and turnover of management of certain catalogs within Cornerstone.

        The impairments at Tree.com resulted from the Company's most recent reassessment of the likely future profitability of Lending and Real Estate in light of the persistent adverse mortgage and real estate market conditions and the operational strategies Tree.com has undertaken in response to these market realities. These adverse conditions include, among others, constrained liquidity, lender focus on low margin conforming loans, uncertainty as to the eventuality and timing of the return of higher margin mortgage offerings, the decline in real estate values and a high rate of delinquency for existing

        The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, 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, non-cash marketing, and acquisition related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements

(b)
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 0.5 million weighted average common shares, related to the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, under the "if-converted" method, the interest expense on the Convertible Notes, net of tax, was included in net (loss) earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 0.6 million weighted average common shares, related to the assumed conversion of the Company's Convertible Notes were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, under the "if-converted" method, the interest expense on the Convertible Notes, net of tax, was excluded from net (loss) earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders.

Weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 62.8 million, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8—EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

        At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company's equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates totaled $309.7 million and $293.2 million, respectively, and are included in "Long-term investments" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to an agreement with Points International, Ltd. ("Points"), on June 11, 2008, IAC converted its preferred shares of Points into 29.4 million common shares of Points, sold 27.8 million of such common shares to a syndicate of underwriters for $42.4 million and surrendered the remaining 1.6 million common shares to Points for cancellation. In addition, IAC's nominees to the board of directors of Points stepped down. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $29.1 million, which is included in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As a result of this transaction, IAC no longer accounts for its remaining investment in Points using the equity method of accounting but rather accounts for such investment as available-for-sale marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115. Additionally, on June 9, 2008, IAC sold a portion of its investment in Front Line Management Group, Inc. ("Front Line") to Madison Square Garden, L.P. at the same per share price that IAC paid to acquire its investment in Front Line.

Long-term Investments

        Long-term investments in the table above that are measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) include available-for-sale auction rate securities accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115. In the third quarter of 2007, these auction rate securities had failed auctions due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. These auction rate securities are valued by discounting the future cash flow streams of the securities over the estimated period that the securities will be held until they are expected to be refinanced. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing a fair value. At June 30, 2008, $13.8 million, which is net of an unrealized loss of $1.2 million, was associated with failed auctions and accordingly, was reclassified as long-term investments in the first quarter of 2008. These auction rate securities are rated either AA/A2 or AA/Aa3. Due to their high rating and the general quality of the investments underlying the portfolios, the unrealized loss related to these securities is not considered to be an other-than-temporary impairment.

Derivative assets and liabilities created in the Expedia spin-off and sale of HSE

        The derivative assets and derivative liabilities created in the Expedia spin-off and the derivative asset created in the sale of HSE are maintained at fair value. The derivative asset created in the sale of HSE is valued using Monte Carlo simulation relying on various observable and unobservable inputs including risk free interest rates, stock price volatility and credit risk.

Net derivatives related to loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments

        Prior to April 1, 2007, LendingTree Loans hedged the changes in fair value of certain loans held for sale primarily by entering into mortgage forward delivery contracts. Although LendingTree Loans continues to enter into forward delivery contracts for risk management purposes it no longer designates these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. When hedge accounting was discontinued, the affected loans held for sale were no longer adjusted for changes in fair value. However, the changes in fair value of the forward delivery contracts continued to be recognized in current earnings as a

26


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)


component of revenue. The fair value of the forward delivery contracts is recorded in "Prepaid and other current assets" and/or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized gains of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of forward delivery contracts related to loans held for sale.

        LendingTree Loans enters into commitments with consumers to originate loans at a locked in interest rate (interest rate lock commitments—"IRLCs"). IAC reports IRLCs as derivative instruments at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). Accordingly, LendingTree Loans determines the fair value of IRLCs using current secondary market prices for underlying loans with similar coupons, maturity and credit quality, subject to the anticipated loan funding probability, or fallout factor. The fair value of IRLCs is subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates and fallout factors. Under LendingTree Loans' risk management policy, LendingTree Loans hedges the changes in fair value of IRLCs primarily by entering into mortgage forward delivery contracts which can reduce the volatility of economic outcomes. Neither the IRLCs nor the related hedging instrument qualify for hedge accounting and both are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in current earnings as a component of revenue in the statement of operations.

        Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157 the recognition of gains and losses at the inception of a derivative contract were prohibited unless the fair value of the contract was evidenced by a quoted price in an active market. As no active market exists for IRLCs, such day one gains and losses were not recognized until the related loan was sold. Prior to January 1, 2008, guidance also prohibited including the value of servicing the loan in calculating the fair value of an IRLC. Such guidance was rescinded by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings" ("SAB 109"). Accordingly, with the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SAB 109 on January 1, 2008, the day one gains and servicing value, adjusted by the loan funding probability, are included in the value of IRLCs.

        The net change in fair value of the IRLCs and related forward delivery contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted in gains of $12.3 million and $27.0 million, respectively, which have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The net change in fair value of the IRLCs and related forward delivery contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 resulted in gains of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The significant change year over year is due principally to the inclusion of day one gains and the value of servicing the loans in 2008 associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SAB 109. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SAB 109 the recognition of such day one gains and servicing value were proscribed and these gains were only recognized until realized through the sale of the related loans. This change in treatment, therefore, is only related to the timing of revenue recognition. The IRLCs are recorded in "Prepaid and other current assets" and/or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2008, there was $161.2 million of IRLCs notional value outstanding.

        Effective January 1, 2008 the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value with the objective of reducing both the complexity in the accounting for financial instruments

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)


and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Upon adoption, IAC elected to account for loans held for sale issued after January 1, 2008 at fair value. Electing the fair value option allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the forward delivery contracts used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133.

        The Company did not elect the fair value option on loans held for sale of $3.7 million originated prior to January 1, 2008. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market value determined on an aggregate basis except for loans that are impaired, which are assessed on an individual basis. The fair value of impaired loans at June 30, 2008, measured based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) was $2.9 million. The fair value of impaired loans is measured on a non-recurring basis and is based on management's best estimate of the market value of such loans and considers reprice bids received from the investors prior to repurchase, if applicable, or current bids in the secondary market for similar loans and represent management's best estimate of the market value of such loans.

        During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the change in fair value of loans held for sale for which the fair value option has been elected were losses of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and are included as a component of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

        The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale at June 30, 2008 for which the fair value option has been elected:

        On June 8, 2007, the Company made an investment in Front Line, which included the conversion of a $26.5 million convertible note.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2007, $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes was converted by the holders. Upon conversion, 0.3 million shares of IAC common stock and 0.3 million shares of Expedia common stock were issued to the holders.

NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES

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

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

29


IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES (Continued)


income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is a provision of $0.3 million due to a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate from that used in the first quarter.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a tax benefit for continuing operations of $49.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 10% and 2%, respectively. These tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to non-deductible impairment charges related to Cornerstone, Lending and Real Estate and the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the Arcandor impairment.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a tax provision for continuing operations of $28.9 million and $71.3 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 35% and 36%, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 approximates the federal statutory rate of 35% due to benefits from foreign tax credits, which offset interest on tax contingencies, and lower state taxes due to discrete items recognized in the period. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and interest on tax contingencies, partially offset by foreign tax credits associated with equity income from unconsolidated affiliates.

        As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $233.2 million and $224.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $9.0 million of which $3.4 million was recorded as a benefit to discontinued operations and relates to the effective settlement of prior year tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the remaining decrease principally relating to the reversal of deductible temporary differences. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is $2.6 million and $5.3 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At June 30, 2008 the Company has accrued $46.5 million for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals for penalties.

        The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income tax provisions include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. If unrecognized tax benefits are subsequently recognized, approximately $49.2 million and $34.4 million, net of related deferred tax assets, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

        The IRS is currently examining the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003. The statute of limitations for these years has been extended to December 31, 2009. Various state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under exam, the most significant of which are California, Florida, New York and New York City, for various tax years after December 31, 2001, and the examinations are expected to be completed by late 2008. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $37.5 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due to settlements and the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

NOTE 13—CONTINGENCIES

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 12 for discussion related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 14—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On June 11, 2008, IAC commenced a tender offer to purchase the outstanding 2002 Senior Notes for cash. On July 17, 2008, IAC entered into an agreement (the "Notes Exchange Agreement") with Interval Acquisition Corp. and a group of institutional holders unaffiliated with IAC that hold in excess of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2002 Senior Notes (the "Noteholders"). Under the Notes Exchange Agreement, subject to certain conditions, (i) IAC agreed to amend the outstanding tender offer to increase the price offered thereunder and agreed to exchange $300 million of senior notes to be issued by Interval Acquisition Corp. (the "Interval Senior Notes") to IAC for a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes held by certain of the Noteholders and (ii) the Noteholders agreed to tender the remaining 2002 Senior Notes held by them into the amended tender offer. The Interval Senior Notes are expected to be issued to IAC prior to the spin-off of ILG by IAC and will be exchanged with the Noteholders immediately after the spin-off.

        On July 25, 2008, (i) HSN, Inc. entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $150 million 5-year Term Loan A and a $150 million 5-year revolver, (ii) Interval Acquisition Corp. entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $150 million 5-year Term Loan A and a $50 million 5-year revolver and (iii) Ticketmaster entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $100 million 5-year Term Loan A, a $350 million 6-year Term Loan B and a $200 million 5-year revolver. The funding under the credit facilities remains subject to a number of conditions.

        On July 28, 2008, HSNi issued $240 million of 11.25% senior notes due 2016 and Ticketmaster issued $300 million of 10.75% senior notes due 2016. The senior notes closed into escrow and will be released out of escrow to IAC shortly before completion of the spin-offs.

        The net proceeds of the HSNi and Ticketmaster senior note offerings, together with the net proceeds from Term Loan borrowings by HSNi, ILG and Ticketmaster under their respective bank credit facilities, will be used primarily to fund cash distributions to IAC prior to the Proposed Spin-Offs. The cash received by IAC will be used, in part, to fund the amended tender offer for the 2002 Senior Notes not exchanged for Interval Senior Notes. Immediately following the Proposed Spin-Offs IAC is expected to have $1.3 billion in net cash.

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


GENERAL

Management Overview

        IAC/InterActiveCorp's operating businesses provide products and services through a diversified portfolio of specialized and global brands and enable billions of dollars of consumer direct transactions and advertising for products and services via interactive distribution channels. All references to "IAC," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" in this report are to IAC/InterActiveCorp.

        On November 5, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies:

        In this report, we refer to this transaction as the "Proposed Spin-Offs." The Proposed Spin-Offs are subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, final approval of the transaction specifics by the Company's Board of Directors, confirmation regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction, and the filing and effectiveness of registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Proposed Spin-Offs are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008. Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-Offs, IAC would have no ownership interest in HSNi, Ticketmaster, ILG and Tree.com.

        During the first quarter of 2008, in contemplation of the Proposed Spin-Offs, IAC reorganized its Retailing, Ticketmaster and Emerging Businesses reporting segments. Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica, which were previously included in the Retailing and Ticketmaster reporting segments, respectively, are now included in the Emerging Businesses segment. Information for all prior periods has been restated for comparative purposes. In addition, the goodwill related to Shoebuy and ReserveAmerica has been reflected in Emerging Businesses for all periods presented. The entities that are expected to comprise IAC after the completion of the Proposed Spin-Offs are referred to collectively herein as "New IAC." IAC's Retailing, Interval and LendingTree reporting segments have been renamed HSNi, ILG and Tree.com, respectively.

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

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

        Given the Proposed Spin-Offs, we thought it appropriate to present results for the businesses which are expected to comprise New IAC, HSNi, Ticketmaster, Tree.com and ILG after the Proposed Spin-Offs. The information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved if the Proposed Spin-Offs had occurred prior to, or during, the periods presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results. Set forth below are the contributions to consolidated revenue, operating income and Operating Income Before Amortization (as defined in IAC's Principles of Financial Reporting) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (rounding differences may occur):

Consolidated Results

Revenue

        Revenue in 2008 increased 7% or $103.3 million from 2007 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $89.0 million from Ticketmaster, $35.5 million from New IAC, $17.3 million from ILG and $14.3 million from HSNi, partially offset by a decrease of $54.0 million from Tree.com.

        The revenue growth from Ticketmaster was driven primarily by higher average revenue per ticket and higher overall ticket volumes, both domestic and internationally, as well as from the acquisitions of The V.I.P Tour Company ("TicketsNow") and Paciolan, Inc. ("Paciolan"), which were not in the year ago period.

        The revenue growth from New IAC resulted primarily from increases of $14.0 million from the Emerging Businesses group, $12.3 million from Media & Advertising and $10.6 million from ServiceMagic. The contribution from the Emerging Businesses group was driven primarily by strong revenue growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy. The increase at Media & Advertising was driven by improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google, which resulted in an increase in revenue per query across all proprietary search sites. Partially offsetting this increase in proprietary revenue is a decrease in network revenue, as expected due to the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain network partners. Also contributing to the increased revenue at New IAC is a 34% increase in customer service requests and continued improved monetization of service requests to a more active service provider network at ServiceMagic.

        The increase in revenue from ILG was driven primarily by its acquisition of ResortQuest Hawaii on May 31, 2007, as well as a 6% increase in confirmed vacations and a 4% increase in membership. ResortQuest Hawaii is included in ILG's results for the full quarter of 2008 as compared to one month in 2007. The revenue increase from HSNi reflects 11% growth at HSN, partially offset by a 12% decline at Cornerstone. Offsetting overall revenue growth in 2008 is the decline at Tree.com, due principally to lower revenue from the origination and sale of loans and fewer Qualification Forms transmitted to and loans closed at the exchange.

        Revenue in 2008 increased 7% or $215.2 million from 2007 primarily as a result of revenue increases of $134.4 million from Ticketmaster, $106.6 million from New IAC, $46.8 million from ILG and $24.5 million from HSNi, partially offset by a decrease of $97.0 million from Tree.com.

        The increase in revenue from Ticketmaster was driven primarily by the acquisitions of TicketsNow and Paciolan, which were not in the year ago period, as well as by higher average revenue per ticket and higher overall ticket volumes, both domestic and internationally.

        The revenue growth from New IAC resulted primarily from increases of $59.8 million from Media & Advertising, $29.3 million from the Emerging Businesses group, $18.0 million from ServiceMagic and $14.8 million from Match. The contributions from Media & Advertising, the Emerging Businesses group and ServiceMagic were impacted by the factors described above in the

34



three month discussion. Also contributing to the increased revenue at New IAC is an 8% increase in average revenue per subscriber, primarily in international markets, and a 1% increase in worldwide subscribers at Match.

        The contribution from ILG was driven primarily by the full six month inclusion of ResortQuest Hawaii in 2008, as well as a 6% increase in confirmed vacations and a 4% increase in membership. The revenue increase from HSNi reflects 8% growth at HSN, partially offset by a 10% decline at Cornerstone. Additionally, revenue in 2008 declined at Tree.com, as described above in the three month discussion.

Cost of sales

As a percentage of total revenue

  55%   229 bp   52%

Gross margins

  45%   (229) bp   48%

        Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of products sold, as well as ticketing royalties, traffic acquisition costs, compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in warehouse and call center functions and credit card processing fees. Ticketing royalties relate to Ticketmaster's clients' share of convenience and order processing charges. Traffic acquisition costs consist of revenue share payments to partners that have distributed toolbars and/or integrated sponsored listings into their websites and similar arrangements with third parties who direct traffic to our websites.

        Cost of sales in 2008 increased $90.5 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $64.6 million from Ticketmaster, $25.7 million from HSNi and $11.7 million from ILG, partially offset by decreases of $6.9 million from Tree.com and $4.8 million from New IAC.

        The increase in cost of sales from Ticketmaster was primarily driven by increases of $20.5 million in ticketing royalties resulting from higher revenue and higher royalty rates, $13.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs and $6.8 million in credit card processing fees. Included in these increases is the impact of acquisitions not in the year ago period, which contributed $1.7 million, $7.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Cost of sales from HSNi increased primarily due to an increase of $19.9 million in the cost of products sold and $5.2 million in shipping and handling costs. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales were increased expenses from ILG primarily driven by the full quarter inclusion of ResortQuest Hawaii in 2008 as compared to one month in 2007.

        Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in cost of sales from Tree.com primarily due to decreased consumer incentive rebates related principally to fewer closings at the Real Estate builder and broker network businesses and decreased compensation and other employee-related costs. The decrease in cost of sales from New IAC was primarily due to a decrease of $8.0 million in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources which is a direct result of the decrease in network revenue at Media & Advertising.

        Cost of sales in 2008 increased $181.5 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $100.8 million from Ticketmaster, $48.4 million from HSNi, and $28.7 million from ILG.

        The increase in cost of sales from Ticketmaster was primarily driven by increases of $33.2 million in ticketing royalties resulting from higher revenue and higher royalty rates, $25.1 million in compensation and other employee-related costs due, in part, to a 22% increase in headcount and $8.3 million in credit card processing fees. Included in these increases is the impact of acquisitions not in the year ago period which contributed $2.4 million, $13.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is, due in part, related to a 4% increase in headcount. Cost of sales from HSNi increased primarily due to an increase of $38.8 million in the cost of products sold and $8.3 million in shipping and handling costs. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales were increased expenses from ILG, primarily due to the full six months inclusion of ResortQuest Hawaii in 2008.

  $321,725   (2)%   $329,586

        Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising and promotional expenditures, compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in customer service and sales functions, and on-air distribution costs. Advertising and promotional expenditures primarily include online marketing and catalog circulation costs, as well as television, print and radio spending.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2008 decreased $7.9 million from 2007, primarily due to decreases of $25.6 million from Tree.com and $9.4 million from HSNi, partially offset by increases of $16.4 million at Ticketmaster and $7.7 million at New IAC.

        The decrease in selling and marketing expense from Tree.com is primarily due to decreases of $25.9 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, reflecting decreased spending associated with online marketing and print and television advertising. Also contributing to the decrease in selling and marketing expense is a decrease of $9.6 million at HSNi related to lower catalog costs at Cornerstone, due to a planned decrease in circulation.

        Partially offsetting the overall decrease in selling and marketing expense are increases of $11.1 million in advertising and promotional expenditures and $2.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at Ticketmaster. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures from Ticketmaster is due in part to the impact of recent acquisitions and costs associated with its agreements with resale partners which are intended to promote Ticketmaster's ticket exchange offering. Acquisitions not in the year ago period contributed $7.0 million and $1.8 million to advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs, respectively.

        Selling and marketing expense in 2008 decreased $2.0 million from 2007, primarily due to decreases of $48.8 million from Tree.com and $9.1 million from HSNi, partially offset by increases of $28.6 million at Ticketmaster and $24.2 million from New IAC.

        The decrease in selling and marketing expense from Tree.com is primarily due to a decrease of $49.7 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, reflecting decreased spending associated with online marketing and print and television advertising. The decrease in selling and marketing expense from HSNi is primarily due to a decrease of $10.6 million in catalog circulation costs, due to a planned decrease in circulation.

        Offsetting the overall decrease in selling and marketing expense is an increase from Ticketmaster, primarily due to increases of $19.3 million in advertising and promotional expenditures and $5.3 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures from Ticketmaster is due in part to an increase in marketing efforts including online and resale ticket services such as ticket exchange. Included in these increases is the impact of acquisitions not in the year ago period, which contributed $9.2 million and $2.9 million to advertising and promotional expenditures and compensation and other employee-related costs, respectively.

        The increase in selling and marketing expense from New IAC resulted from increases of $14.1 million from the Emerging Businesses group, $9.1 million from Match and $3.7 million from ServiceMagic. The increase in selling and marketing expense from the Emerging Businesses group is primarily related to Pronto.com. Selling and marketing expense from Match increased primarily due to an increase of $10.5 million in advertising and promotional expenditures, including customer acquisition costs principally related to Chemistry.com. Also contributing to the increase in selling and marketing expense from New IAC is an increase of $3.4 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at ServiceMagic primarily related to the expansion of its sales force due in part to the opening of a new call center in Kansas City in the second quarter of 2007.

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

37


        General and administrative expense in 2008 increased $28.3 million from 2007 primarily due to increases of $30.9 million from New IAC, $5.8 million from Ticketmaster and $4.2 million from HSNi, partially offset by a decrease of $15.1 million from Tree.com.

        The increase in general and administrative expense from New IAC was primarily due to increases of $18.5 million from corporate and $12.4 million from the Emerging Businesses group. The increase at corporate is primarily due to $12.6 million in expenses related to the Proposed Spin-Offs. General and administrative expense from the Emerging Businesses group increased primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture as well as increased operating expenses associated with RushmoreDrive.com and other start-up businesses not in the year ago period.

        The increase in general and administrative expense from Ticketmaster was primarily due to increases of $5.6 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, $1.4 million in rent and utilities and $0.9 million in bad debt expense, partially offset by a decrease of $4.2 million in professional fees. The increase in compensation and other employee-related costs is primarily due to an increase of $4.6 million associated with recent acquisitions not in the year ago period. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense is increased expenses from HSNi primarily driven by $1.3 million in professional fees and $1.2 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. Partially offsetting the overall increase in general and administrative expense is a decrease of $6.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at Tree.com resulting from reductions in workforce that occurred during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, and decreases of $2.8 million in both restructuring expense and professional fees, respectively.

        General and administrative expense includes non-cash compensation expense of $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $22.3 million in 2007. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media and Cornerstone Brands acquisitions, as these awards vest, as well as the impact of equity modifications recorded in the prior year. As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $249.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity based awards, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years.

        The increase in general and administrative expense from New IAC was primarily due to increases of $25.5 million from corporate and $17.8 million from the Emerging Businesses group.

associated with recent acquisitions not in the year ago period. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense is increased expenses from ILG primarily due to the full six months inclusion of ResortQuest Hawaii, and increases of $1.8 million and $1.0 million in compensation and other employee-related costs and professional fees, respectively. Partially offsetting the overall increase in general and administrative expense is a decrease of $14.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at Tree.com resulting from reductions in workforce that occurred during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, as well as a decrease of $2.4 million in restructuring expense.

        General and administrative expense includes non-cash compensation expense of $52.5 million in the first half of 2008 compared with $42.5 million in 2007. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Other operating expense in 2008 increased $0.5 million from 2007, primarily due to increases of $1.5 million and $1.4 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at Media & Advertising and HSNi, respectively. The increase at Media & Advertising is due in part to an 8% increase in headcount, as it continues to upgrade and enhance its search technology and products. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $2.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs at Tree.com resulting from reductions in workforce that occurred during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007.

        Depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $5.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures made during 2007 and 2008 and various acquisitions, partially offset by certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated during the period.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2008 decreased $7.0 million from 2007 primarily due to declines of $7.5 million and $3.2 million from HSNi and Tree.com, respectively, which more than offset growth of $2.6 million from Ticketmaster.

        The decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization from HSNi is primarily related to lower gross margins and higher shipping and handling costs, partially offset by reduced costs associated with a planned decrease in catalog circulation. The lower gross margins reflect a highly promotional retail environment at Cornerstone. The decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization from Tree.com is primarily due to a decrease in revenue as well as a shift to lower gross margin offerings and higher costs per loan sold as a result of lower close rates and stricter underwriting criteria.

        The increase in Operating Income Before Amortization from Ticketmaster is primarily due to an increase in revenue, partially offset by increased administrative and technology costs associated with recent acquisitions and the build out of its worldwide infrastructure, costs associated with its agreements with resale partners, increased international investment particularly in Germany and China, and higher overall royalty rates.

        Operating Income Before Amortization in 2008 decreased $12.1 million from 2007 primarily due to declines of $20.7 million and $7.4 million from HSNi and Ticketmaster, respectively, which more than offset growth of $11.7 million from New IAC.

40


        The decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization from HSNi is primarily related to lower gross margins at Cornerstone, which is operating in a highly promotional retail environment. The decline in Operating Income Before Amortization from Ticketmaster is primarily due to losses associated with acquisitions and strategic investments, particularly in Germany and China, increased marketing efforts including online and resale ticket services such as ticket exchange and higher overall royalty rates.

        The increase in Operating Income Before Amortization from New IAC is primarily due to an increase of $44.1 million from Media & Advertising, partially offset by decreases of $20.9 million and $18.8 million from corporate and the Emerging Businesses group, respectively. Contributing favorably to Operating Income Before Amortization is the impact of higher revenue from Media & Advertising, partially offset by increased cost of sales primarily related to an increase in revenue share payments to third parties who redirect traffic to the Ask.com landing page. These payments increased in 2008 as a direct result from the growth in distribution revenue which is included as a component of proprietary revenue at IAC Search and Media. This increase was partially offset by $21.1 million in expenses from corporate related to the Proposed Spin-Offs, and the favorable impact in the prior year of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture within the Emerging Businesses group, as well as increased operating expenses associated with RushmoreDrive.com and other start-up businesses not in the year ago period.

        In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges related to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of HSNi of $221.5 million and $78.5 million, respectively, and $132.5 million and $33.4 million, respectively, related to Tree.com. The charges related to the impairment of intangible assets are included in amortization of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

        The impairments at HSNi relate to its Cornerstone reporting unit and are due, in part, to the significant deterioration in the macro economic environment for retailers, particularly in the home and apparel categories (which are Cornerstone's primary markets), the negative impact of this environment on Cornerstone's performance and the related reduction in market valuations for retailers. The effect of these market conditions has been exacerbated by execution issues and turnover of management of certain catalogs within Cornerstone.

        The impairments at Tree.com resulted from the Company's most recent reassessment of the likely future profitability of Lending and Real Estate in light of the persistent adverse mortgage and real estate market conditions and the operational strategies Tree.com has undertaken in response to these market realities. These adverse conditions include, among others, constrained liquidity, lender focus on low margin conforming loans, uncertainty as to the eventuality and timing of the return of higher margin mortgage offerings, the decline in real estate values and a high rate of delinquency for existing mortgages. The Company updated its assessment of mortgage and real estate market conditions and Tree.com's responsive operational strategies during the second quarter of 2008 and quantified these considerations in Tree.com's future forecasted results.

41


        Operating income in 2008 decreased $460.6 million from 2007 primarily due to the $465.9 million in impairment charges and the decrease of $7.0 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above. Operating income also declined due to an increase of $6.7 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease of $20.3 million in amortization of non-cash marketing related to the Media & Advertising and Match segments. Operating income further reflects higher amortization of intangibles, exclusive of the impairment charges described above, of $31.1 million in 2008 versus $29.7 million in 2007. This is primarily due to higher amortization expense at Ticketmaster related to recent acquisitions. The amortization of non-cash marketing referred to in this report consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which Vivendi Universal Entertainment, LLLP ("VUE") was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE.

        Operating income in 2008 decreased $476.0 million from 2007 primarily due to the $465.9 million in impairment charges and the decrease of $12.1 million in Operating Income Before Amortization described above. Operating income also declined due to an increase of $11.2 million in non-cash compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease of $14.3 million in amortization of non-cash marketing. Operating income was further impacted by an increase of $1.1 million in amortization of intangibles excluding the $78.5 million and $33.4 million impairment charges noted above. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media and Cornerstone Brands acquisitions, as these awards vest, as well as the impact of equity modifications recorded in the prior year.

        Interest income in 2008 decreased $10.5 million from 2007 primarily due to lower cash and marketable securities balances in 2008, as well as lower average interest rates. Interest expense in 2008 decreased $1.1 million from 2007 as average interest rates and the average amount of outstanding debt decreased year over year.

        Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2008 decreased $1.7 million from 2007 primarily due to losses from various Company investments, including those not in the year ago period, partially offset by higher earnings from its investment in Jupiter Shop Channel, a shopping channel in Japan.

42


        Other income in 2008 decreased $106.0 million from 2007 primarily due to a write-down of $132.6 million on the Company's investment in Arcandor AG ("ARO"). As part of the consideration for the sale of the German TV and internet retailer Home Shopping Europe GmbH & Co. KG, and its affiliated TV station HSE 24 ("HSE") in June 2007, the Company received approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock ("ARO Shares"). During the second quarter of 2008 the Company considered the value of the ARO Shares to be other-than-temporarily impaired and wrote the value of the investment down to €7.38 per share, the stock's closing price on June 30, 2008. Partially offsetting this impairment is a gain on the sale of the Company's preferred investment in Points International, Ltd ("Points") of $29.1 million.

        Interest income, interest expense and equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in 2008 decreased $19.3 million, $3.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, from 2007 primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Other income in 2008 decreased $94.7 million from 2007 primarily due to the impairment charge on the Company's investment in ARO described above in the three month discussion, partially offset by a gain on the sale of the Company's preferred investment in Points and a year over year positive change of $9.0 million in the amount recognized related to the derivatives created in the Expedia spin-off.

Income tax provision

        In 2008 the Company recorded a tax benefit for continuing operations of $49.5 million which represents an effective tax rate of 10%. The 2008 tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to non-deductible impairment charges related to Cornerstone, Lending and Real Estate and the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the ARO impairment. In 2007 the Company recorded a tax provision for continuing operations of $28.9 million which represents an effective tax rate of 35%. The 2007 tax rate approximates the federal statutory rate of 35% due to benefits from foreign tax credits, which offset interest on tax contingencies, and lower state taxes due to discrete items recognized in the period.

        In 2008 the Company recorded a tax benefit for continuing operations of $7.5 million which represents an effective tax rate of 2%. The 2008 tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to non-deductible impairment charges related to Cornerstone, Lending and Real Estate and the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to the ARO impairment. In 2007 the Company recorded a tax provision for continuing operations of $71.3 million which represents an effective tax rate of 36%. The 2007 tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state taxes and interest on tax contingencies, partially offset by foreign tax credits associated with equity income from unconsolidated affiliates.

43


        As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $233.2 million and $224.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $9.0 million of which $3.4 million was recorded as a benefit to discontinued operations and relates to the effective settlement of prior year tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the remaining decrease principally relating to the reversal of deductible temporary differences. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is $2.6 million and $5.3 million, net of related deferred taxes, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At June 30, 2008 the Company has accrued $46.5 million for the payment of interest. There are no material accruals for penalties.

        The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income tax provisions include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $37.5 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due to settlements and the reversal of deductible temporary differences which will result in a corresponding increase in net deferred tax liabilities. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

Discontinued operations

        Discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations include Entertainment Publications, Inc. ("EPI") through May 30, 2008 and HSE through June 30, 2007. Quiz TV Limited, iBuy, TV Travel Shop, Styleclick and ECS are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Results from these discontinued operations, net of tax, in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007 were a loss of $0.5 million and income of $4.9 million, respectively. The 2008 amount is principally due to losses of EPI, partially offset by income of TV Travel Shop. The 2007 amount is principally due to the income of HSE and iBuy, partially offset by losses of EPI.

        Losses from discontinued operations, net of tax, in 2008 and 2007 were $6.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The 2008 amount is principally due to the losses of EPI, partially offset by income of TV Travel Shop and a tax benefit on reserves released during the first quarter related to HSN International. The 2007 amount is principally due to the losses of EPI, partially offset by income of HSE.

        Additionally, the Company recognized after-tax gains in 2008 and 2007 of $22.6 million and $35.1 million on the sales of EPI and HSE, respectively.

        In addition to the discussion of the consolidated results above, the following is a discussion of the results of New IAC and each of the businesses to be established by the spin-off transaction.

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

45


        Revenue grew 7% to $186.3 million, due to improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google, which resulted in an increase in revenue per query across all proprietary search sites. Revenue further benefited from an increase in revenue per query and queries from Fun Web Products. Revenue per query at Ask.com grew, even excluding the benefits of the renewed contract. Ask.com continued to grow its core user base which searches most frequently, while queries declined overall due largely to significantly reduced marketing. Proprietary revenue represented 75% of total Media & Advertising revenue during the quarter. Network revenue declined as expected due to the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain network partners. At Citysearch, a growing audience drove revenue.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 205% to $35.8 million, primarily due to the revenue growth noted above, as well as a reduction in the current year of $8.0 million in revenue share payments to third party traffic sources which is a direct result of the shift from network to proprietary revenue. Also contributing to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization was a decrease of $5.0 million in selling and marketing expense, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in other operating expense. The decrease in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to a decrease of $8.1 million in advertising and promotional expenditures due largely to significantly reduced marketing. The increase in other operating expense was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in compensation and other employee-related costs due in part to an 8% increase in headcount, as our Media & Advertising businesses continue to upgrade and enhance their search technology and products.

        Operating income increased $40.5 million to $29.8 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a $16.3 million decrease in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        As discussed, the Company has entered into a new paid listings agreement with Google effective January 1, 2008. The new contract limits our ability to distribute sponsored listings to certain network partners. This will lead to a greater percentage of revenues for our Media & Advertising segment coming from the higher-margin proprietary side of the business, and a lesser percentage from the lower-margin network business, an effect impacting results for 2008. The shift in revenue streams will continue, but at a more rapid pace in the second half of the year. As a result, for the remainder of 2008 we expect to see continuing strong margins and benefits to profit growth, while simultaneously seeing a negative impact on revenue growth.

        Revenue grew 17% to $401.9 million, due to improved economics associated with the renewed partnership with Google, which resulted in an increase in revenue per query across all proprietary search sites. Revenue further benefited from an increase in both queries and revenue per query at Fun Web Products and from distributed search. Revenue and revenue per query at Ask.com grew, even excluding the benefits of the renewed contract. Queries declined overall due largely to significantly reduced marketing which more than offset growth in the core user base which searches most frequently. Network revenue declined as expected due to the planned discontinuation of relationships with certain network partners.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 152% to $73.0 million, primarily due to the revenue growth noted above, partially offset by increases of $9.7 million in cost of sales and $7.1 million in other operating expense. The increase in cost of sales primarily related to revenue share payments to third parties who redirect traffic to the Ask.com landing page. These payments increased in 2008 as a direct result of the growth in distribution revenue which is included in proprietary revenue at IAC Search and Media. Partially offsetting this increase is a decrease in revenue share payments related to lower network revenue. The increase in other operating expense was primarily due to an

46



increase of $5.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs as described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating income increased $60.9 million to $60.7 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and a $16.8 million decrease in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        Revenue grew 8% to $93.3 million, reflecting a 4% and 15% increase in international subscribers and revenue per subscriber, respectively, and 3% growth in revenue per subscriber in North America where subscribers were flat year over year. The growth in international paid subscribers was driven by expansion in several markets, most notably Scandinavia, Australia and Latin America. Chemistry.com continued to grow subscribers strongly during the second quarter of 2008.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 17% to $22.9 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to lower customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue, due to more efficient spending.

        Operating income increased 62% to $19.6 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a $4.1 million decrease in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        Revenue grew 9% to $183.8 million, reflecting a 4% and 14% increase in international subscribers and revenue per subscriber, respectively, and 4% growth in revenue per subscriber in North America where subscribers were flat year over year. The growth in international paid subscribers was driven by factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 18% to $33.0 million, growing at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to lower international customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase in domestic customer acquisition costs. The increase in domestic customer acquisition costs reflects an increase in spending related to Chemistry.com, which continues to grow subscribers, partially offset by reductions in other domestic marketing spend.

        Operating income increased 32% to $26.8 million primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a $1.4 million decrease in amortization of non-cash marketing.

        Revenue grew 42% to $35.9 million, benefiting from a 34% increase in customer service requests and continued improved monetization of service requests to a more active service provider network.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 33% to $9.4 million, growing at a slower rate than revenue primarily due to increased marketing expenses as a percent of revenue and increased compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the expansion of the sales force due in part to the opening of a new call center in Kansas City in the second quarter of 2007.

        Operating income increased 44% to $8.9 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a $0.4 million decrease in amortization of intangibles.

47


        Revenue grew 38% to $64.8 million, driven primarily by the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 17% to $15.6 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above, offset by increases of $9.3 million in cost of sales, $3.7 million in selling and marketing expense and $2.2 million in general and administrative expense. The increase in costs of sales is primarily driven by increased customer acquisition costs. Selling and marketing expense reflects increased compensation and other employee-related costs associated with the expansion of the sales force as described above in the three month discussion, and offline marketing expenses. Contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense are increases of $0.9 million and $0.6 million in compensation and other employee-related costs and bad debt expense, respectively.

        Operating income increased 26% to $14.5 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization discussed above and a $0.8 million decrease in amortization of intangibles.

        Emerging Businesses include Shoebuy, ReserveAmerica, Pronto.com, Gifts.com, InstantAction.com, Connected Ventures, 23/6, VeryShortList.com, RushmoreDrive.com and Life123.com, as well as other start-up businesses.

        Revenue grew 40% to $48.5 million reflecting strong growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income decreased $13.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively, to losses of $7.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively. Losses increased due primarily to the inclusion in the prior year's results of an $8.2 million reimbursement of previously expensed advances related to the restructuring of our interests in a business venture as well as increased operating expenses associated with RushmoreDrive.com and other start-up businesses not in the year ago period.

        Revenue grew 46% to $92.3 million reflecting strong growth at Pronto.com and Shoebuy.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income decreased $18.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, to losses of $15.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively, primarily driven by the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 71% to a loss of $37.7 million reflecting an increase of $12.6 million in expenses related to the Proposed Spin-Offs.

        Operating loss increased 41% to $67.6 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and a $3.9 million increase in non-cash compensation expense. The increase in non-cash compensation expense is primarily due to equity grants issued subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with unvested stock options assumed in the IAC Search & Media and Cornerstone Brands acquisitions, as these awards vest, as well as the impact of equity modifications recorded in the prior year.

48


        The Company expects corporate operating expenses for the remainder of 2008 to be significantly higher than the comparable period in 2007 due to charges associated with equity award modifications to be made in connection with, and additional professional fees relating to, the Proposed Spin-Offs.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 47% to a loss of $65.4 million, primarily due to an increase of $21.1 million in expenses related to the Proposed Spin-Offs.

        Operating loss increased 30% to $121.6 million, primarily due to the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization loss discussed above and a $7.0 million increase in non-cash compensation expense.

        Revenue grew 2% to $695.8 million, primarily due to 11% growth at HSN, partially offset by a decline of 12% at Cornerstone. Online sales continued to grow at a double digit rate in the second quarter of 2008. HSN's revenue growth reflects a 5% increase in average price point, a 4% increase in units shipped and an 80 basis point decrease in return rates. The increase in average price point is primarily due to a shift in sales mix from jewelry and apparel & accessories to the home division (including electronics and housewares) and health & beauty categories. During the quarter, HSN continued to improve sales efficiency and increased the number and average spend of active customers. HSN's total active customers grew 3% during the quarter. Cornerstone revenue declined primarily due to an 8% decrease in units shipped and a 3% decrease in average price point as the business continues to be affected by the difficult retail environment, particularly in the home category.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 20% to $30.5 million, primarily due to a 240 basis point decrease in gross margins. Operating Income Before Amortization at HSN increased 20% to $27.4 million, primarily driven by the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by a decrease in gross margins of 110 basis points and an increase of $6.6 million in shipping and handling costs. Gross margins were adversely impacted by an increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue due to a shift in mix to lower gross margin products, primarily electronics and housewares. Shipping and handling costs grew at a faster rate than revenue primarily due to increased fuel surcharges charged by HSNi's shipping partners combined with a shift in product mix to heavier merchandise. Operating Income Before Amortization at Cornerstone declined 80% to $3.1 million, primarily driven by a decrease in gross margins of 315 basis points reflecting a shift in mix to lower gross margin products in a highly promotional retail environment, partially offset by reduced costs associated with a 26% decline in catalog circulation. Lower return rates favorably impact gross margins as lower returns result in lower warehouse processing costs and lower inventory markdowns. The year over year impact of the decrease in overall return rates on gross margins is $1.9 million.

        Operating income decreased $306.7 million to a loss of $271.8 million, resulting primarily from a goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charge of $300.0 million at Cornerstone and the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization described above. Operating income at HSN increased 23% to $26.7 million, driven by the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, as well as a decrease of $0.5 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in amortization of non-cash marketing. Operating income at Cornerstone decreased $311.6 million to a loss of $298.6 million, primarily reflecting impairment charges of $221.5 million and $78.5 million related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively, which were recorded in the second quarter of 2008 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a component of operating loss. The impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible assets has been included in amortization of intangibles. These impairments are due, in part, to the significant deterioration in the macro economic environment for retailers, particularly in the home and apparel categories (which are Cornerstone's primary markets), the negative impact of this environment on Cornerstone's performance and the related reduction in market valuations for retailers. The effect of these market conditions has been exacerbated by execution issues and turnover of management of certain catalogs within Cornerstone.

        Revenue grew 2% to $1.4 billion, primarily due to 10% growth at HSN, excluding America's Store, which ceased operations on April 3, 2007, partially offset by a decline of 10% at Cornerstone. Online sales continued to grow at a double digit rate in the first half of 2008. HSN's revenue grew 8%, reflecting a 5% increase in average price point, a 3% increase in units shipped, partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in return rates. The increase in average price point is primarily due to a shift in sales mix from jewelry and apparel & accessories to the home division (including electronics). During

50


the first half of 2008, HSN continued to improve sales efficiency and increased the number and spend of active customers. Cornerstone revenue declined primarily due to a 6% decrease in units shipped and a 3% decrease in average price point. Cornerstone, which is principally comprised of home and apparel merchandise, continues to be affected by the difficult retail environment.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 27% to $56.7 million, primarily due to a 240 basis point decrease in gross margins, an increase of $8.3 million in shipping and handling costs and the effect of merchandise clearance and promotional pricing, partially offset by lower inventory reserves. Operating Income Before Amortization at HSN increased 8% to $58.9 million, primarily driven by the increase in revenue noted above, partially offset by a decrease in gross margins of 120 basis points. Gross margins were adversely impacted by a shift in mix to lower gross margin products, primarily electronics, partially offset by lower inventory reserves. Operating Income Before Amortization at Cornerstone declined from $22.8 million in 2007 to a loss of $2.1 million in 2008, primarily driven by a decrease in gross margins of 350 basis points reflecting a shift in mix to lower gross margin products, an aggressive increase in promotional pricing and clearance activity and an increase in fulfillment costs, partially offset by reduced costs associated with a 21% planned decline in catalog circulation.

        Operating income decreased $321.6 million to a loss of $251.6 million, resulting primarily from the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charges of $300.0 million described above in the three month discussion. Also contributing to the decrease in operating income was the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization described above. Operating income at HSN increased 5% to $54.3 million, driven by the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, as well as a decrease of $2.0 million in amortization of intangibles, partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in amortization of non-cash marketing. Operating income at Cornerstone decreased $324.1 million to a loss of $305.9 million, primarily reflecting impairment charges of $221.5 million and $78.5 million related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively, as described above in the three month discussion.

        Revenue grew 30% to $382.4 million, driven by increases in both domestic and international revenue as worldwide tickets sold increased 7% with a 10% increase in average revenue per ticket. Domestic revenue grew by 31% primarily due to a 9% increase in average revenue per ticket, a 5% increase in the number of tickets sold and contributions from TicketsNow and Paciolan, acquired in February and January 2008, respectively. The increase in average domestic revenue per ticket resulted from higher convenience and processing fees due in part to annual contractual increases. International revenue grew by 30%, or 21% excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to increased revenue from Canada, China (Emma Entertainment acquired in August 2007) and Australia. Acquisitions contributed approximately $45.0 million to Ticketmaster's overall revenue growth in 2008.

        Operating Income Before Amortization increased 5% to $59.2 million, growing at a slower rate than revenue primarily due to increases in cost of sales and selling and marketing expense both as a percentage of revenue. The increase in cost of sales was driven primarily by increases of $20.5 million in ticketing royalties resulting from higher revenue and higher royalty rates, $13.9 million in

51



compensation and other employee related costs and $6.8 million in credit card processing fees. Selling and marketing expense increased by $16.4 million primarily due to increases of $11.1 million in advertising and promotional expenditures and $2.9 million in compensation and other employee related costs. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures is due in part to costs associated with its agreements with resale partners which are intended to promote Ticketmaster's ticket exchange offering. Also impacting Operating Income Before Amortization is an increase in general and administrative expense. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily due to increases of $5.6 million in compensation and other employee-related costs, $1.4 million in rent and utilities and $0.9 million in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in professional fees. The decrease in professional fees is primarily due to the prior year including an increase in certain litigation reserves. Contributing to the increase in cost of sales, selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense is the impact of acquisitions not in the year ago period of $28.3 million, $11.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

        Operating income decreased 10% to $44.8 million, despite the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above primarily due to increases of $4.9 million in amortization of intangibles and $2.8 million in non-cash compensation expense due to principally to the TicketsNow and Paciolan acquisitions.

        During the second quarter of 2008, Ticketmaster began a comprehensive review of its worldwide cost structure in light of significant investments that have been made through increased operating and capital expenditures, acquisitions in recent periods, and in advance of the termination of the Live Nation agreement in 2009. As a result of this review, Ticketmaster currently intends to take the following actions, among others, which it currently expects will reduce its operating expenditures by an estimated $35 million on an annualized basis: (i) integration of Paciolan and TicketsNow, which were acquired in January and February 2008, respectively, (ii) the rationalization of certain ticketing platforms, products and services, (iii) certain operating cost reductions, including, among others, reductions in personnel, payment processing and discretionary costs, (iv) the consolidation of customer contact centers and (v) the review of global marketing and sponsorship costs for efficiency. Ticketmaster currently expects that achieving these actions will require some up-front costs, principally severance costs and lease termination costs, as well as the accelerated amortization of capitalized software and leasehold improvements, which costs and charges are currently expected to be $4.0–$6.0 million in total. Ticketmaster expects that these up-front costs and charges will principally impact its 2008 results, starting in the third quarter, but the aggregate cash costs of these actions are not expected to materially impact Ticketmaster's overall financial position or liquidity.

        Revenue grew 23% to $731.3 million, driven by increases in both domestic and international revenue as worldwide tickets sold increased 5% with an 8% increase in average revenue per ticket. Domestic revenue grew by 22% primarily due to contributions from TicketsNow and Paciolan, acquired in February and January 2008, respectively, as well as an 8% increase in average revenue per ticket and a 3% increase in the number of tickets sold. The increase in average domestic revenue per ticket resulted from higher convenience and processing fees due in part to annual contractual increases. International revenue grew by 23%, or 13% excluding the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to increased revenue from Canada, China and Australia. Acquisitions contributed approximately $61.9 million to Ticketmaster's overall revenue growth in 2008.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased 6% to $120.9 million, despite the higher revenue noted above primarily due to increases in cost of sales and selling and marketing expense both as a percentage of revenue. The increase in cost of sales was driven primarily by increases of $33.2 million in ticketing royalties resulting from higher revenue and higher royalty rates, $25.1 million in compensation and other employee related costs associated, in part, with a 22% increase in

52



headcount, or 4% excluding the impact of recent acquisitions and $8.3 million in credit card processing fees. Selling and marketing expense increased by $28.6 million primarily due to increases of $19.3 million in advertising and promotional expenditures and $5.3 million in compensation and other employee related costs as Ticketmaster continues to build out its worldwide infrastructure. The increase in advertising and promotional expenditures is due in part to an increase in marketing efforts including online and resale ticket services such as ticket exchange. Also contributing to the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization is an increase in general and administrative expense. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily due to an increase of $9.2 million in compensation and other employee-related costs. Contributing to the increase in cost of sales, selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense is the impact of acquisitions not in the year ago period of $39.6 million, $15.5 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

        Operating income decreased 16% to $95.9 million, primarily due to the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization described above and increases of $6.9 million in amortization of intangibles and $4.6 million in non-cash compensation expense due to principally to the TicketsNow and Paciolan acquisitions.

        Revenue decreased 50% to $49.8 million, primarily due to fewer loans originated and sold into the secondary market and fewer Qualification Forms transmitted to and loans closed at the exchange.

Investors' and lenders' continued narrow focus on traditional mortgage offerings contributed to lower close rates and a shift to lower margin offerings as compared to the prior year. The dollar value of loans closed by exchange lenders and directly by LendingTree Loans in 2008 decreased 44% to $4.3 billion. This includes refinance mortgages of $2.5 billion, purchase mortgages of $1.2 billion and home equity loans of $0.5 billion. The dollar value of closed loans in 2007 was $7.7 billion, including refinance mortgages of $4.0 billion, purchase mortgages of $2.2 billion and home equity loans of $1.2 billion. Revenue from all home loan offerings declined with home equity loans, purchase mortgage revenue and refinance mortgage revenue declining 75%, 44% and 44%, respectively.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased to a loss of $3.5 million, declining at a faster rate than revenue due to higher costs per loan sold resulting from lower close rates and stricter underwriting criteria, partially offset by decreases of $21.9 million in selling and marketing expense and $13.9 million in general and administrative expense. The decrease in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to a decrease of $23.5 million in advertising and promotional expenditures. In 2008, Lending experienced decreased spending of $14.7 million, $4.4 million and $2.4 million associated with online marketing and print and television advertising, respectively. General and administrative expense declined primarily due to a decrease of $6.1 million in compensation and other employee-related costs resulting from reductions in workforce that occurred during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, and decreases of $2.8 million and $2.5 million in professional fees and restructuring expense, respectively.

        Operating loss increased by $109.8 million to a loss of $111.1 million, resulting primarily from a goodwill impairment charge of $71.5 million which was recorded in the second quarter of 2008 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a component of operating loss. In addition, an impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2008 in connection with the write-down of an indefinite-lived intangible asset which has been included in amortization of intangibles. These impairments resulted from the Company's most recent reassessment of the likely future profitability of Lending in light of the persistent adverse mortgage and real estate market conditions and the operational strategies Tree.com has undertaken in response to these market realities. These adverse conditions include, among others, constrained liquidity, lender focus on low margin conforming loans, uncertainty as to the eventuality and timing of the return of higher margin mortgage offerings, the decline in real estate values and a high rate of delinquency for existing mortgages. The Company updated its assessment of mortgage and real estate market conditions and Tree.com's responsive operational strategies during the second quarter of 2008 and quantified these considerations in Tree.com's future forecasted results. Also contributing to the increase in operating loss was the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization described above.

        Continued adverse market conditions may give rise to continued operating losses and require additional restructuring of Tree.com's operations and could give rise to additional restructuring charges and additional impairment charges.

        Revenue decreased 44% to $111.6 million, primarily due to fewer loans originated and sold into the secondary market and fewer Qualification Forms transmitted to and loans closed at the exchange, partially offset by higher revenue per loan sold. Lenders' continued narrow focus on traditional mortgage offerings contributed to lower close rates and a shift to lower margin offerings as compared to the prior year. The dollar value of loans closed by exchange lenders and directly by LendingTree Loans in 2008 decreased 43% to $8.6 billion. This includes refinance mortgages of $5.2 billion, purchase mortgages of $2.2 billion and home equity loans of $1.0 billion. The dollar value of closed loans in 2007 was $15.0 billion, including refinance mortgages of $8.1 billion, purchase mortgages of $4.0 billion and home equity loans of $2.5 billion. Revenue from all home loan offerings declined with

54


home equity loans, purchase mortgage revenue and refinance mortgage revenue declining 75%, 41% and 33%, respectively.

        Operating Income Before Amortization decreased to a loss of $4.5 million, declining at a faster rate than revenue due to the factors noted above in the three month discussion, partially offset by decreases of $41.7 million in selling and marketing expense and $21.0 million in general and administrative expense. The decrease in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to a decrease of $44.7 million in advertising and promotional expenditures. In 2008, Lending experienced decreased spending of $25.6 million, $10.5 million and $6.5 million associated with online marketing and print and television advertising, respectively. General and administrative expense declined primarily due to a decrease of $12.6 million in compensation and other employee-related costs resulting primarily from the reductions in workforce that occurred during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, as well as a decrease of $2.1 million in restructuring expense. Operating Income Before Amortization was further impacted by a $1.4 million provision for loan losses in 2008, compared to $3.7 million in 2007.

        Operating loss increased by $113.6 million to a loss of $114.7 million, resulting primarily from the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges described above in the three month discussion. Also contributing to the increase in operating loss was the decrease in Operating Income Before Amortization described above.

        Revenue decreased 33% to $10.2 million, primarily due to fewer closings at the builder and broker networks and the absence of revenue from the agent network business which ceased operations in December 2007. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by increased closings at the company owned brokerage business. The company owned brokerage business, now operating in 14 markets, grew revenue 24% during the second quarter of 2008.

        Operating Income Before Amortization loss decreased 36% to a loss of $3.6 million, primarily due to lower marketing expenses and lower administrative costs resulting in part from the restructuring of the business in 2007 and 2008.

        Operating loss increased by $56.9 million to a loss of $65.6 million despite the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, resulting primarily from a goodwill impairment charge of $61.0 million which was recorded in the second quarter of 2008 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a component of operating loss. As described above in the Lending discussion this impairment resulted from the Company's most recent reassessment of the likely future profitability of Real Estate in light of the persistent adverse mortgage and real estate market conditions and the operational strategies Tree.com has undertaken in response to these market realities.

        Revenue and Operating Income Before Amortization loss decreased 35% and 38%, respectively, to $18.6 million and a loss of $7.5 million, respectively, primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating loss increased by $54.0 million to a loss of $70.7 million despite the increase in Operating Income Before Amortization described above, resulting primarily from a goodwill impairment charge of $61.0 million described above in the three month discussion.

        Revenue grew 20% to $103.2 million, primarily due to the acquisition of ResortQuest Hawaii on May 31, 2007, which contributed $14.5 million to ILG's revenue in 2008 compared to $5.7 million in 2007. Excluding ResortQuest Hawaii, revenue grew 11%. This was driven by an 11% increase in membership revenue and a 10% growth in revenue from confirmed vacations. Membership revenue grew due to a 4% increase in active members in addition to an increase in average fee. Confirmed vacations revenue, which includes transactional fees paid for exchange and Getaway transactions (i.e. vacations), increased due to a 6% increase in volume as well as a higher average fee compared to the prior year period. Total active members increased by 0.1 million from 2007 to approximately 2.0 million.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income increased 2% and 1%, respectively, to $34.7 million and $28.2 million, respectively, growing at slower rates than revenue due primarily to the inclusion of the results of ResortQuest Hawaii, which was adversely impacted by a double digit decrease in flights to Hawaii during the second quarter of 2008, due in part to the bankruptcy of two low cost airlines serving the region. Also impacting Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income are higher operating expenses, primarily related to the shift in the timing of an industry conference from the first quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008, additional expense associated with preparing to become a public company, and increased personnel and training costs to service a new contract in advance of revenue from that contract. Excluding the impact of ResortQuest Hawaii, Operating Income Before Amortization increased 2% to $33.7 million. The decrease in flights to Hawaii referred to above is expected to adversely impact results, at least in the near term.

        Revenue grew 27% to $219.1 million, primarily due to the acquisition of ResortQuest Hawaii, which contributed $33.6 million to ILG's revenue in the half of 2008 compared to $5.7 million since its acquisition on May 31, 2007. Excluding ResortQuest Hawaii, revenue grew 11%. This was driven by a 12% growth in revenue from confirmed vacations and a 10% increase in membership revenue. Both confirmed vacations revenue and membership revenue grew primarily due to the factors described above in the three month discussion.

        Operating Income Before Amortization and operating income increased 12% and 14%, respectively, to $82.0 million and $69.0 million, respectively, growing at slower rates than revenue due primarily to the inclusion of the results of ResortQuest Hawaii. Excluding the impact of ResortQuest Hawaii, Operating Income Before Amortization increased 7% to $77.0 million. This increase is due to the higher revenue noted above, partially offset by increases in cost of sales and general and administrative expense.

        As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $1.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents and $143.4 million of marketable securities, including $365.3 million in funds representing amounts equal to the face value of tickets sold by Ticketmaster on behalf of its clients.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, IAC purchased 6.0 million and 7.6 million shares of IAC common stock for aggregate consideration, on a trade date basis, of $145.6 million and $288.2 million, respectively. In 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 60 million shares of IAC common stock of which 44.8 million shares remain at July 25, 2008. IAC may purchase shares over an indefinite period of time, depending on those factors IAC management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.

        Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $331.3 million and $429.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease of $98.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities reflects a decrease in net proceeds from sales of loans held for sale of $175.9 million, partially offset by lower cash taxes paid of $82.7 million and an increased contribution from Ticketmaster client funds of $10.2 million, which is primarily due to timing of settlements with clients.

        Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2008 of $311.4 million primarily resulted from acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $427.4 million, capital expenditures of $82.8 million and an increase in long-term investments of $59.2 million, partially offset by the net proceeds of $170.0 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities, $60.9 million in proceeds from the sale of long-term investments and $32.9 million in proceeds from discontinued operations. Acquisitions, net of cash acquired in 2008 primarily relate to the acquisitions of Paciolan, TicketsNow and GET ME IN! Ltd. The increase in long-term investments is primarily due to the Company's equity investment in The HealthCentral Network. The proceeds from the sale of long term investments and discontinued operations relate primarily to the sale of Points and EPI, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $374.6 million primarily resulted from an increase in long-term investments of $221.6 million, acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $185.5 million and capital expenditures of $103.1 million, partially offset by the net proceeds of $120.9 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities. During the second quarter 2007, the Company made investments which totaled $247.8 million in entities that are accounted for under the equity method. This includes the conversion of a convertible note which was carried at $26.5 million. The most significant investment made by the Company was in Front Line Management Group, Inc.

        Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2008 of $161.6 million was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock of $145.6 million and principal payments on long-term obligations of $21.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations in 2007 of $438.2 million was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock in the amount of $322.6 million, increased net payments under various lines of credit of $125.9 million at LendingTree Loans and principal payments on long-term obligations of $20.1 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to stock option exercises of $20.7 and the excess tax benefits from stock-based awards of $11.2 million. The increased payments under various lines of credit is directly related to the decrease in loans held for sale included within cash flows from operating activities.

        Net cash used in discontinued operations in 2008 and 2007 of $25.7 million and $27.5 million, respectively, relates primarily to the operations of EPI. The Company does not expect future cash flows associated with existing discontinued operations to be material.

57


        As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $913.0 million in short and long-term obligations, of which $77.8 million, consisting principally of various lines of credit are classified as current. Long-term debt consists primarily of the 7% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "2002 Senior Notes") and the Liberty Bonds due September 1, 2035. Interest on the Liberty Bonds is payable at a rate of 5% per annum.

        As of June 30, 2008, LendingTree Loans had committed lines of credit totaling $100 million, of which $50 million expires on October 31, 2008, and another $50 million expires on January 24, 2009, and an uncommitted line of credit of $150 million. The $50 million committed line of credit that expires on January 24, 2009 and the $150 million uncommitted line are provided by the same lender. The $50 million committed line that expires on October 31, 2008 is provided by one other lender. The committed line of credit that expires on January 24, 2009 can be cancelled at the option of the lender without default upon sixty days notice. However, if the lender determines at any time prior to January 24, 2009 the Proposed Spin-Off materially and adversely affects Tree.com, the lender reserves the right to deem the line of credit expired prior to January 24, 2009. LendingTree Loans is highly dependent on the availability of credit to finance its operations. Its inability to renew or replace existing facilities upon expiration or termination, which could be impacted by continuing disruptions in the credit market, would adversely impact its results of operations and financial condition. Borrowings under these lines of credit are used to fund, and are secured by, consumer residential loans that are held for sale. Loans under these lines of credit are repaid from proceeds from the sales of loans held for sale by LendingTree Loans. The interest rate under these lines of credit is 30-day LIBOR plus 75 to 140 basis points, but may be higher under certain circumstances. At June 30, 2008 there was $75.4 million outstanding under the committed lines of credit. Under the terms of the committed lines of credit, LendingTree Loans is required to maintain various financial and other covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining (i) minimum levels of tangible net worth, cash on hand with a certain lender and liquid assets, (ii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to net worth and (iii) positive pre-tax net income on a quarterly basis. During the second quarter of 2008, LendingTree Loans was in compliance with all covenants. Borrowings under all of LendingTree Loans' lines of credit are non-recourse to IAC and Tree.com.

        In connection with the IAC Search & Media acquisition, IAC guaranteed $115 million principal amount of the Ask Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2008 (the "Convertible Notes"). During 2008, $12.3 million of Convertible Notes was converted into 0.5 million IAC common shares and 0.5 million Expedia common shares. At June 30, 2008, all Convertible Notes have been converted.

        IAC anticipates that it will need to make capital and other expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its overall operations. The Company may make a number of acquisitions which could result in the reduction of its cash balance or the incurrence of debt. New IAC expects that 2008 capital expenditures will be lower than 2007.

        On June 11, 2008, IAC commenced a tender offer to purchase the outstanding 2002 Senior Notes for cash. On July 17, 2008, IAC entered into an agreement (the "Notes Exchange Agreement") with Interval Acquisition Corp. and a group of institutional holders unaffiliated with IAC that hold in excess of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2002 Senior Notes (the "Noteholders"). Under the Notes Exchange Agreement, subject to certain conditions, (i) IAC agreed to amend the outstanding tender offer to increase the price offered thereunder and agreed to exchange $300 million of senior notes to be issued by Interval Acquisition Corp. (the "Interval Senior Notes") to IAC for a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes held by certain of the Noteholders and (ii) the Noteholders agreed to tender the remaining 2002 Senior Notes held by them into the amended tender offer. The Interval Senior Notes are expected to be issued to IAC prior to the spin-off of ILG by IAC and will be exchanged with the Noteholders immediately after the spin-off.

58


        On July 25, 2008, (i) HSN, Inc. entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $150 million 5-year Term Loan A and a $150 million 5-year revolver, (ii) Interval Acquisition Corp. entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $150 million 5-year Term Loan A and a $50 million 5-year revolver and (iii) Ticketmaster entered into a bank credit agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $100 million 5-year Term Loan A, a $350 million 6-year Term Loan B and a $200 million 5-year revolver. The funding under the credit facilities remains subject to a number of conditions.

        On July 28, 2008, HSNi issued $240 million of 11.25% senior notes due 2016 and Ticketmaster issued $300 million of 10.75% senior notes due 2016. The senior notes closed into escrow and will be released out of escrow to IAC shortly before completion of the spin-offs.

        The net proceeds of the HSNi and Ticketmaster senior note offerings, together with the net proceeds from Term Loan borrowings by HSNi, ILG and Ticketmaster under their respective bank credit facilities, will be used primarily to fund cash distributions to IAC prior to the Proposed Spin-Offs. The cash received by IAC will be used, in part, to fund the amended tender offer for the 2002 Senior Notes not exchanged for Interval Senior Notes, as well as to fund IAC's future growth and investment opportunities. Immediately following the Proposed Spin-Offs, IAC is expected to have $1.3 billion in net cash. IAC believes that its cash on hand along with its anticipated operating cash flows in 2008 and its access to capital markets are sufficient to fund its operating needs, capital, investing and other commitments and contingencies for the foreseeable future.

(c)
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable pricing provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

Seasonality

        The Company's consolidated results are weighted to the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, as a result of the seasonal nature of HSNi.

        The seasonality related to certain of the individual segments is as follows:

        Seasonality impacts HSNi, with sales highest in the fourth quarter, but not to the same extent it impacts the retail industry in general.

        Lending and Real Estate revenue is subject to the cyclical and seasonal trends of the U.S. housing market. Home sales typically rise during the spring and summer months and decline during the fall and winter months. Refinancing and home equity activity is principally driven by mortgage interest rates as well as real estate values. The broader cyclical trends in the mortgage and real estate markets have upset the usual seasonal trends.

        In New IAC's Media & Advertising segment, search queries and revenue tend to be strongest in the fourth quarter when seasonality in the retail industry may affect the prices advertisers are willing to pay for online inventory and keywords.

        Revenue at ILG is influenced by the seasonal nature of planned family travel with the first quarter generally experiencing the strongest bookings and the fourth quarter generally experiencing weaker bookings.

IAC'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

        IAC reports Operating Income Before Amortization as a supplemental measure to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We provide and encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure which we discuss below.

Definition of IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

        Operating Income Before Amortization is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense and amortization of non-cash marketing, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment, (4) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions, 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, non-cash marketing, and acquisition-related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.

Pro Forma Results

        We will only present Operating Income Before Amortization on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this report, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.

One-Time Items

        Operating Income Before Amortization is presented before one-time items, if applicable. These items are truly one-time in nature and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. For the periods presented in this report, there are no one-time items.

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From IAC's Non-GAAP Measure

        Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding which, for restricted stock units and stock options, are included on a treasury method basis. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards are settled, at the Company's discretion, on a net basis, with the Company remitting the required tax withholding amount from its current funds.

        Amortization of non-cash marketing consists of non-cash advertising secured from Universal Television as part of the transaction pursuant to which VUE was created, and the subsequent transaction by which IAC sold its partnership interests in VUE (collectively referred to as the "NBC Universal Advertising"). The NBC Universal Advertising is available for television advertising on

61



various NBC Universal network and cable channels without any cash cost. At June 30, 2008, there was approximately $36.9 million of NBC Universal Advertising credits available for use.

        The NBC Universal Advertising is excluded from Operating Income Before Amortization because it is non-cash and generally is incremental to the advertising the Company otherwise secures as a result of its ordinary cost/benefit marketing planning process. Accordingly, the Company's aggregate level of advertising, and the increased concentration of that advertising on NBC Universal network and cable channels, does not reflect what our advertising effort would otherwise be without these credits, which will expire on September 30, 2009 if not exhausted before then. As a result, management believes that treating the NBC Universal Advertising as an expense does not appropriately reflect its true cost/benefit relationship, nor does it best reflect the Company's long-term level of advertising expenditures. Nonetheless, while the benefits directly attributable to television advertising are always difficult to determine, and especially so with respect to the NBC Universal Advertising due to its incrementality and heavy concentration, it is likely that the Company does derive benefits from it, though management believes such benefits are generally less than those received through its regular advertising for the reasons stated above. Operating Income Before Amortization therefore has the limitation of including those benefits while excluding the associated expense.

        Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as supplier contracts and customer relationships, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. While it is likely that we will have significant intangible amortization expense as we continue to acquire companies, we believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.


RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME BEFORE AMORTIZATION

        For a reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization to operating (loss) income by business and to net earnings available to common shareholders in total for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

        The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment portfolio, loans held for sale, long-term debt, including the current portion thereof, and LendingTree Loans' lines of credit.

        The Company invests its excess cash in certain cash equivalents and marketable securities, which consist primarily of money market instruments and short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government, U.S. governmental agencies and municipalities, and foreign sovereignties and investment grade corporate issuers. The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

        Based on the Company's total debt investment securities as of June 30, 2008, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the debt investment securities by approximately $1.8 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of debt securities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. Conversely, since almost all of the Company's cash balance of approximately $1.4 billion is invested in variable rate interest earning assets, the Company would also earn more (less) interest income due to such an increase (decrease) in interest rates.

        LendingTree Loans' mortgage banking operations expose the Company to interest rate risk for loans originated until those loans are sold in the secondary market ("loans held for sale"). The fair value of loans held for sale is subject to change primarily due to changes in market interest rates. LendingTree Loans hedges the changes in fair value of certain loans held for sale primarily by entering into mortgage forward delivery contracts. Although LendingTree Loans continues to enter into derivatives for risk management purposes, effective April 1, 2007 management determined these derivative instruments would no longer qualify for the hedge accounting provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

        When hedge accounting was discontinued, the affected loans held for sale were no longer adjusted for changes in fair value. However, the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments continue to be recognized in current earnings as a component of revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized gains of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to loans held for sale.

        In addition, LendingTree Loans provides interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to fund mortgage loans at interest rates previously agreed upon with the borrower for specified periods of time, which also expose it to interest rate risk. IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and, therefore, are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in current period earnings. To manage the interest rate risk associated with the IRLCs, the Company uses derivative instruments, including mortgage forward delivery contracts. These instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.

        On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 157 the recognition of gains and

63



losses at the inception of a derivative contract were prohibited unless the fair value of the contract was evidenced by a quoted price in an active market. As no active market exists for IRLCs, such day one gains and losses were not recognized until the related loan was sold. Prior to January 1, 2008, guidance also prohibited including the value of servicing the loan in calculating the fair value of an IRLC. Such guidance was rescinded by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings" ("SAB 109"). Accordingly, with the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SAB 109 on January 1, 2008, the day one gains and servicing value, adjusted by the loan funding probability, are included in the value of IRLCs. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and SAB 109 the recognition of such day one gains and servicing value were proscribed and these gains were only recognized until realized through the sale of the related loans. This change in treatment, therefore, is only related to the timing of revenue recognition. The net change in the fair value of the IRLCs and related forward delivery contracts, including the impact of day one gains and servicing value, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted in gains of $12.3 million and $27.0 million, respectively, which have been recognized as a component of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

        The fair values of derivative financial instruments at LendingTree Loans are impacted by movements in market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments would substantially be offset by changes in the fair value of the items for which risk is being mitigated. As of June 30, 2008, if market interest rates had increased by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the hedged items at LendingTree Loans would have increased by $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2008, if market interest rates had decreased by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the hedged items at LendingTree Loans would have decreased by $0.7 million.

        At June 30, 2008, the Company's outstanding debt approximated $913.0 million, with a substantial portion bearing fixed rates. If market rates decline, the Company runs the risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those based on market rates. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of this interest rate exposure. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to interest rate risk on its long-term debt is to maintain its mix of floating rate and fixed rate debt within a certain range. In 2004 and 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements related to a portion of the 2002 Senior Notes, which allow IAC to receive fixed rate amounts in exchange for making floating rate payments based on the LIBOR. As of June 30, 2008, of the $750 million total principal amount of the 2002 Senior Notes, the interest rate is fixed on $400 million at 7% and the balance of $350 million has been swapped to floating interest rates based on a spread over 6-month LIBOR. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2008 resulted in gains of $3.5 million which have been entirely offset by corresponding losses attributable to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.

        The majority of the Company's outstanding fixed-rate debt at June 30, 2008 relates to the $750 million outstanding under the 2002 Senior Notes and the $80 million outstanding under the Liberty Bonds. Excluding the $350 million under the 2002 Senior Notes, which currently pays a variable interest rate as a result of the outstanding swap agreements noted above, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, decrease or increase the fair value of the fixed-rate debt by approximately $26.3 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of fixed-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. If the LIBOR rates were to increase (decrease) by 100 basis points, then the annual interest payments on the $350 million of variable-rate debt would have increased (decreased) by $3.5 million. Such potential increase or decrease in interest

64



payments are based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of variable-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period.

        The Company formally designates and documents all hedging relationships as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, as applicable, and documents the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and the method of assessing ongoing effectiveness.

Equity Price Risk

        As part of the consideration for the sale of HSE on June 19, 2007, IAC received from Arcandor AG ("ARO") approximately 5.5 million shares of ARO stock (the "ARO Shares") valued at €141 million, plus additional consideration in the form of a contingent value right ("CVR"). The CVR has value of up to €54 million within three years. ARO shares are listed on the German stock exchange (XETRA: ARO) and as a result, IAC is exposed to changes in ARO's stock price. The ultimate value of the CVR is dependent, in part, upon the average closing value of the ARO Shares for the 90 days preceding June 19, 2010 (the "Average Value"). To the extent that the Average Value is equal to or less than €141 million, IAC will receive a cash payment equal to €54 million. To the extent that the Average Value is equal to or greater than €195 million, IAC will receive no additional consideration. To the extent that the Average Value is between €141 million and €195 million, IAC will receive a pro rata portion of the €54 million. If the closing value of an ARO share equals or exceeds €35.68 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading days during the three year period from June 20, 2007 through June 19, 2010, the CVR expires without any payment being made. The CVR is maintained at fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized in current earnings as a component of other income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 the change in the fair value of the CVR resulted in gains of $6.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which were recognized in current earnings. IAC's investment in the ARO Shares is accounted for as an available-for-sale marketable equity security under SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") and at June 30, 2008 is valued at €40.4 million or $63.8 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company concluded that the decline in the price of the ARO Shares was other than temporary and thus recorded a $132.6 million impairment charge that is included in "Other (expense) income" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The loss was determined to be other than temporary due to (1) the significant, 72% decline in the ARO stock price from €25.90 at June 19, 2007 to €7.38 at June 30, 2008, and the duration of the decline in the ARO stock price and (2) the Company's assessment of the near-to-medium term prospects for a recovery to levels proximate to the initial carrying value of the ARO Shares.

        Following the Expedia spin-off, derivative liabilities were created due to IAC's obligation to deliver shares of both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock to the holders upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of certain IAC warrants. Derivative assets were also created due to Expedia's contractual obligation to deliver shares of Expedia common stock to IAC upon conversion by the holders of the Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the warrants. Both the derivative liabilities and derivative assets are maintained at fair value each reporting period, and the changes in fair values, which are based upon changes in both IAC common stock and Expedia common stock, are recognized in current earnings as a component of other income. The net fair value adjustments recognized in current earnings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were losses of $1.8 million and gains of $0.5 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2008, the Convertible Notes were fully converted and the related derivatives expired.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        The Company conducts business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the European Union and Canada. The Company's primary exposure to foreign currency risk relates to investments in foreign

65



subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar. However, the exposure is mitigated since the Company has generally reinvested profits from international operations in order to grow the businesses. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk related to its assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

        As the Company increases its operations in international markets it becomes increasingly exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on the Company is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause the Company to adjust its financing and operating strategies.

        As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results. Historically, the Company has not hedged translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally.

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

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

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

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

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

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

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

        Actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements included in this quarterly report for a variety of reasons, including, among others: changes in economic conditions generally or in any of the markets or industries in which IAC's businesses operate, changes in senior management at IAC and/or its businesses, risks related to the contemplated spin-off transactions and related matters, including, among other, increased demands on senior management at IAC and its businesses, the rate of online migration in the various markets and industries in which IAC's businesses operate, technological changes, regulatory changes, changes in the interest rate environment or overall credit markets, a continuing or accelerating slowdown in the domestic housing market, increased credit losses relating to certain underperforming loans sold into the secondary market, effectiveness of hedging activities, changes affecting distribution channels, failure to comply with existing laws, the ability to offer new or alternative products and services in a cost-effective manner and consumer acceptance of these products and services, changes in product delivery costs, changes in the advertising market and the ability of IAC to expand successfully in international markets. 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" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward looking statements discussed in this report may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which only reflect the views of IAC management as of the date of this report. IAC does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors

        In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. 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 operating results.
