Item 1. Business
OVERVIEW
Who We Are
Angi Inc. connects quality home professionals with consumers across more than 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. Approximately 168,000 transacting professionals sought consumer matches, completed jobs, or advertised work through Angi Inc. platforms during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, consumers turned to at least one of our businesses to find a professional for approximately 17 million projects during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has three operating segments: (i) Ads and Leads, (ii) Services and (iii) International (includes Europe and Canada) and operates under multiple brands including Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Handy.
Angi is a public company controlled by IAC Inc. (“IAC”). As of December 31, 2024, IAC’s economic and voting interest in Angi were 85.3% and 98.3%, respectively.
As used herein, “Angi,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to Angi Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
History
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware as ANGI Homeservices Inc. in 2017 in connection with the combination of IAC’s HomeAdvisor business and Angie’s List, Inc. (the “Combination”), which was completed in September 2017.
In 2018, we acquired Handy Technologies, Inc., a leading platform in the United States for connecting consumers looking for household services with top-quality, pre-screened independent professionals.
In March 2021, we changed our name to Angi Inc. in connection with an update to one of our leading websites and brands (Angie’s List) to Angi and the concentration of our marketing investment in the Angi brand in order to focus marketing, sales, and branding efforts on a single brand.
On January 13, 2025, IAC announced that its board of directors approved a plan to spin off its full stake in the Company to IAC stockholders. IAC intends to effect the spin-off through a dividend to the holders of its common stock and Class B common stock of all of the common stock of the Company owned by IAC (the “Distribution”). Prior to the effective time of the Distribution, IAC intends to voluntarily convert all of the shares of our Class B common stock that it owns to shares of Class A common stock. The completion of the Distribution remains subject to customary conditions and to the final approval of IAC's board of directors and may not be completed, on the anticipated terms or at all. IAC expects to complete the Distribution as soon as March 31, 2025.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESSES
Our Domestic Businesses
In the United States, the Company, through several differentiated experiences, provides consumers with tools and resources to help them find local, pre-screened and customer-rated professionals, refers consumers to independently established home professionals engaged in a trade, occupation and/or businesses that customarily provides such services and provides consumers with tools to communicate with professionals and pay for related services. Consumers are generally presented with a combination of Ads, Leads and/or Services professionals depending on the nature of the service request and the path through which it was submitted. Professionals are presented to consumers by way of our proprietary algorithm, based on several factors (including the type of services desired, location, job date and time, and/or the number of professionals available to fulfill the request).
In the case of:
•Ads and Leads, professionals pay for connections to consumers; and
•Services, consumers make payment through the Angi platform for a specific job and professionals accept and complete the job and receive a portion of the job fee.
Consumers
Consumers can connect with professionals across more than 500 service categories in our nationwide network through our digital marketplace and certain third-party affiliate platforms. In some cases, consumers can pay directly on the Angi platform for requested home services as well as select third-party retail partners (online and in store, where available) for assembly,
installation and other related services to be fulfilled by professionals referred by Angi. Consumers can access our network and related basic tools and services, free of charge upon registration, as well as by way of purchased membership packages. This includes consumers’ access to our online True Cost Guide, which provides project cost information for hundreds of project types nationwide, ratings, reviews, and certain promotions, as well as a library of home services-related content consisting primarily of articles about home improvement, repair and maintenance, tools to assist consumers with the research, planning and management of their projects, and general advice for working with professionals.
In each of Ads, Leads, and Services, professionals may contact consumers who have selected them, and consumers can generally review profiles, ratings and reviews of presented professionals and select the professional whom they believe best meets their specific needs. Consumers are under no obligation to work with any professional(s) referred by or found through any of our branded or third-party affiliate platforms. Consumers can rate professionals on a one- to five- star rating scale based on a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to, overall experience, availability, price, quality, responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism, depending on the type of service provided. Ratings on each applicable criterion are weighted across all reviews submitted for a given professional to produce such professional’s overall rating. Consumers can also provide a detailed description of their experiences with professionals. Ratings and reviews cannot be submitted anonymously and there are processes in place to prevent professionals from reporting on themselves or their competitors, as well as to detect fraudulent or otherwise problematic reviews.
Professionals
In order to become an approved professional in the Angi network, professionals must satisfy certain criteria. Generally, professionals with an average consumer rating below a “3” are not eligible for an approved status. In addition to retaining the requisite member rating, the owners or principals of businesses affiliated with professionals must pass certain criminal background checks and attest to applicable state and local licensure requirements. If an approved professional fails to meet any eligibility criteria during the applicable contract term, refuses to participate in our complaint resolution process, and/or engages in what we determine to be prohibited behavior through any of our platforms, existing service and access to the platform will be subject to termination.
Once eligibility criteria are satisfied, professionals are approved and can purchase service and be referred to consumers utilizing our proprietary algorithm. Services professionals pay fees for such referrals, however, there is no charge to enroll and no charge to view and select a requested service once enrolled. Our Ads and Leads business sells memberships, term-based website, mobile, and magazine advertising and, beginning in 2024, subscriptions to approved professionals through our salesforce and online, as well as provides them with a variety of services. The membership package includes membership in our digital marketplace, as well as access to consumer referrals (for which additional fees are generally paid) and a listing in our online directory and certain other affiliated directories. Basic annual membership also includes a business profile page on HomeAdvisor.com and Angi.com, a mobile application and access to various online tools designed to help professionals more effectively market to, manage and connect with, consumers to whom they have been referred. In 2025, it is expected that Ads and Leads professionals will only be able to participate in the following three types of offerings: full-priced leads within a monthly budget, access to discounted leads in a subscription package, and/or double opt-in leads on an a-la-carte basis.
Our International Businesses
We also own and operate the following international businesses that connect consumers with home professionals: (i) HomeStars, MyBuilder, MyHammer, Travaux and Werkspot, leading home services marketplaces in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands, respectively, (ii) the Austrian operations of MyHammer and (iii) the Italian operations of Werkspot. The business models of our international businesses differ in certain respects from the business models of our various domestic businesses.
Revenue
Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the professional ultimately provides the requested service), revenue from professionals under contract for advertising, membership subscription revenue from professionals and consumers, and revenue from other services. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors, including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Services revenue primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through the Company’s platform and the Company engages a professional to perform the service. International revenue primarily comprises consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from professionals.
Marketing
We market our various products and services to consumers primarily through digital marketing (primarily paid and free search engine marketing, display advertising and third-party affiliate agreements), as well as through traditional offline marketing (national television, radio and streaming campaigns), and email. Pursuant to third-party affiliate agreements, third
parties agree to advertise and promote our various products and services (and those of our various professionals) on their platforms. In exchange for these efforts, these third parties are paid a fee when visitors from their platforms click through and submit a valid service request through our platforms or when visitors submit a valid service request on an affiliate platform and the relevant affiliate transmits the service request to us. We also market our various products and services to consumers through relationships with select third-party retail partners and, to a lesser extent, through partnerships with other contextually related websites and direct mail.
We market our term-based advertising and related products offered by our Ads business and the matching services and membership subscriptions offered by our Leads business to professionals primarily through our sales force. These products and services are also marketed together with our Services products and various directories, through paid search engine marketing, digital media advertising and direct relationships with trade associations and manufacturers.
We have made, and expect we will continue to make, substantial investments in digital and traditional offline marketing to consumers and professionals to promote our products and services and drive visitors to our various platforms and professionals.
Technology
We have dedicated engineering teams for our domestic and international businesses responsible for software development and the creation of new features to support our products and services across a full range of existing, new, and emerging devices and platforms. Our engineering teams use an agile development process that allows us to deploy frequent iterative releases for product and service features leveraging both open-source and vendor supported software technology.
Competition
The home services industry is highly competitive and fragmented, and in many important respects, local in nature. We compete with, among others: (i) search engines and online directories, (ii) home and/or local services-related platforms, (iii) providers of consumer ratings, reviews and referrals and (iv) various forms of traditional offline advertising (primarily local in nature), including radio, direct marketing campaigns, yellow pages, newspapers and other offline directories. We also compete with local and national retailers of home improvement products that offer or promote installation services. We believe our biggest competition comes from the traditional methods most people currently use to find professionals, which are by word-of-mouth and through referrals.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully will depend primarily upon the following factors:
•our ability to continue to build and maintain awareness of, and trust in and loyalty to, the Angi brand;
•the functionality of our websites and mobile applications and the attractiveness of their features and our products and services generally to consumers and professionals, as well as our continued ability to introduce new products and services that resonate with consumers and professionals generally;
•the size, quality, diversity and stability of our network of professionals and the breadth of our online directory listings;
•our ability to consistently generate service requests through our platforms that convert into revenue for our professionals in a cost-effective manner;
•our ability to continue to attract (and increase) traffic to our brands and platforms through search engines, including the ability to ensure that information from such brands and platforms and related links are displayed prominently in free search engine results and that paid search marketing efforts are cost-effective, as well as the ability to respond to changes in the usage and functioning of search engines and the introduction of new technology;
•our ability to increasingly engage with consumers directly through our platforms, including our various mobile applications (rather than through search engine marketing or via free search engine referrals); and
•the quality and consistency of our professional pre-screening processes and ongoing quality control efforts, as well as the reliability, depth and timeliness of customer ratings and reviews.
Intellectual Property
We regard our intellectual property rights as critical to our success, with our trademarks, service marks and domain names being especially critical to the continued development and awareness of our brands and our marketing efforts.
We protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of registered copyrights, trademarks, and domain name registrations, trade secrets and patent applications, as well as through contractual restrictions and reliance on federal, state and common law. We also enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with employees, consultants, contractors and business partners, and employees and contractors are also subject to proprietary information and invention assignment provisions.
We have several registered trademarks in the United States (the most significant of which relate to our Angi and HomeAdvisor brands), as well as certain other trademarks in Europe and Canada, and several pending trademark applications in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. We have also registered a variety of domestic and international domain names, the most significant of which relate to our Angi brand. In addition, we have two patents that expire in November 2035.
Government Regulation
We are subject to laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet generally and through mobile applications, including laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for their operations and the activities of their users. As a result, we could be subject to claims based on negligence, various torts and trademark and copyright infringement, among other actions.
In addition, because we receive, transmit, store and use a substantial amount of information received from or generated by consumers and professionals, we are also impacted by laws and regulations governing privacy, the storage, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal data and data breaches. See “Item 1A - Risk Factors-General Risk Factors-The processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities and increased costs.”
We are particularly sensitive to laws and regulations that adversely impact the popularity or growth in use of the Internet and/or online products and services generally, restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or manner in which we provide our products and services, regulate the practices of third parties upon which we rely to provide our products and services and undermine open and neutrally administered Internet access. For example, the Digital Services Act applies to our European businesses effective February 17, 2024. Failure to comply with the Digital Services Act could result in the imposition of fines in an amount of up to 6% of a given online intermediary or platform’s annual worldwide turnover in the preceding fiscal year. In addition, the United Kingdom has passed the Online Safety Act 2023, which increases responsibilities of online platforms to control illegal or harmful activity and grants broad authority to the relevant communications regulator to enforce its provisions. To the extent our businesses are required to implement new measures and/or make changes to our products and services to ensure compliance, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Compliance with this legislation or similar or more stringent legislation in other jurisdictions could be costly, and the failure to comply could result in service interruptions and negative publicity, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, there have been various legislative efforts to restrict the scope of the protections available to online platforms under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (“Section 230”) and our current protections from liability for third-party content in the United States could decrease or change as a result. Any future adverse changes to Section 230 could result in additional compliance costs for us and/or exposure to additional liabilities.
We are also subject to laws governing marketing and advertising activities conducted by/through telephone, email, mobile devices and the Internet, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (the “TCPA”), the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act and similar state laws, as well as federal, state, and local laws and agency guidelines governing background screening.
In addition, we also are subject to various other federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations focused on consumer protection. These laws, rules and regulations are enforced by governmental entities such as the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and state Attorneys General offices and may confer private rights of action on consumers as well. Changes in these laws, or a proceeding of this nature, could have an adverse effect on us due to legal costs, impacts on business operations, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, and other factors.
For example, the FTC recently announced a rule making it easier for consumers to end recurring subscriptions and memberships by requiring companies to obtain express informed consent for recurring subscriptions before charging consumers and provide a simple mechanism to cancel subscriptions, including an online mechanism to do so if the consumer subscribed online. These changes could impact our ability to seamlessly deliver the convenience of automatic renewal to professionals and consumers.
We are also generally sensitive to the adoption of new tax laws. The European Commission and several European countries have adopted (or intend to adopt) proposals that impact various aspects of the current tax framework under which our European businesses are taxed, including new types of non-income taxes (including digital services taxes based on a percentage of revenue). For example, we are subject to and must pay the Digital Services Tax in the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy. Certain of our businesses are subject to digital services taxes in one or more of the jurisdictions listed above and similar proposed tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain U.S. states have adopted or are considering adopting similar laws applicable to revenue attributable to digital advertising and other forms of digital commerce.
We are subject to new laws and regulations being considered and adopted by various state legislatures and federal agencies that regulate the use and disclosure of artificial intelligence (“AI”). The laws and regulations may adversely impact our ability
to effectively incorporate AI into our products and services and/or make it more difficult to transparently market such products and services that incorporate AI.
As a provider of products and services with a membership-based element, we are also sensitive to the adoption of laws and regulations affecting the ability of our businesses to periodically charge for recurring membership or subscription payments. In addition, many U.S. states have considered enacting legislation that could impact the ability of our businesses to efficiently process auto-renewal payments for, as well as offer promotional or differentiated pricing. The adoption of any law that adversely affects revenue from recurring membership or subscription payments could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are particularly sensitive to laws and regulations related to the adoption and interpretation of worker classification laws, specifically, laws that could effectively require us to change our classification of certain of our professional from independent contractors to employees. See “Item 1A - Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business and Industry-There may be adverse tax, legal and other consequences if the contractor classification or employment status of the professionals who use our platform is challenged.”
Human Capital Management
As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, the substantial majority of which provided services to our brands and businesses located in the United States. From time to time, we also retain consultants and independent contractors.
Talent and Development
The development, attraction and retention of employees is critical to our success. We strive to provide an atmosphere that fosters teamwork and growth. We continue to invest in a more productive, engaged and inclusive workforce. To support the advancement of our employees, we offer training and development programs and encourage advancement from within. We leverage both formal and informal programs designed to identify, foster, train and retain top talent. For example, our tuition waiver program reimburses employees for certain tuition costs, including certificate programs to support the pursuit of educational opportunities outside of traditional degree programs. We believe that our culture enables us to create, develop and fully leverage the strengths of our workforce to exceed consumer expectations and meet our growth objectives.
Total Rewards and Benefits
As part of our compensation philosophy, we believe that we must offer and maintain market competitive total rewards programs for our employees in order to attract and retain superior talent. These programs include base wages and incentives in support of our pay for performance culture, as well as health, welfare and retirement benefits, vision, dental, life, prescription and long-term disability insurance plans. We also provide employee paid supplemental life and accident insurance plans. To help employees cover medical expenses on a pre-tax basis, we offer employees a flexible spending account. We also support growing families through in vitro fertilization, adoption and surrogacy support and provide paid leave for bonding. We also maintain employee wellness programs, including mental health support access and telemedicine. Lastly, we also offer our US-based full-time employees a 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match.
Community
We encourage our employees to become involved in their communities by providing U.S. based full-time employees with paid-time off each year to volunteer in local community-based programs.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our US-based employees are required to annually certify to their familiarity and compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We also maintain an ethics hotline that is available to all of our employees to report (anonymously, if desired) any general ethics-related matter of concern. Communications to this hotline (which is facilitated by an independent third party) are routed to appropriate functions (whether Human Resources or Legal) for investigation and resolution. In addition, as required by law, we also maintain a hotline for employees to anonymously report complaints or concerns related to accounting and auditing matters.
Additional Information
Company Website and Public Filings
We maintain a website at www.angi.com. Neither the information on this website, nor the information on the websites of any of our brands and businesses, is incorporated by reference into this annual report, or into any other filings with, or into any other information furnished or submitted to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We also make available, free of charge through our website, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K (including related amendments) as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been electronically filed with (or furnished to) the SEC. These reports (including related amendments) are also available at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and directors and is posted on the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.angi.com under the heading “Code of Ethics.” This code complies with Item 406 of SEC Regulation S-K and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Any changes to this code that affect the provisions required by Item 406 of Regulation S-K (and any waivers of such provisions for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and directors) will also be disclosed on our website.
CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH IAC
Equity Ownership and Vote
We have two classes of capital stock outstanding, Class A common stock and Class B common stock, with one vote and ten votes per share, respectively. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. As of December 31, 2024, IAC owned all of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock, and 2,588,180 shares of Class A common stock, in total representing approximately 85.3% of our outstanding capital stock and approximately 98.3% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock.
Intercompany Agreements
In connection with the Combination in 2017, we and IAC entered into certain agreements that currently govern our relationship (the “Combination Agreements”). Certain material terms of these agreements are described below. Each such summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the applicable agreement, each of which is included as an exhibit to this annual report.
Contribution Agreement
The contribution agreement provided for a number of the transactions necessary in connection with the Combination and also governs certain aspects of our relationship with IAC. Under the contribution agreement, we agreed to assume, and indemnify IAC and its non-Angi subsidiaries with respect to liabilities arising from, all of the assets and liabilities related to IAC’s HomeAdvisor business and indemnify IAC against any losses arising out of any breach by Angi of the Contribution Agreement or the other transaction-related agreements described below, and IAC agreed to indemnify us against liabilities arising from IAC’s other businesses and any losses arising out of any breach by IAC of such agreements.
Investor Rights Agreement
Under the investor rights agreement, IAC has certain registration, preemptive and governance rights related to us and the shares of our capital stock held by IAC. The investor rights agreement also provides certain governance rights for the benefit of stockholders other than IAC. The investor rights agreement obligates us to cooperate and take all action reasonably required by IAC to facilitate a disposal of all or a portion of IAC’s ownership interest in Angi, including in transactions like the Distribution, and to pay certain costs related to such matters. Pursuant to its terms, the investor rights agreement will terminate in connection with the completion of the Distribution.
Services Agreement
The services agreement currently governs services that IAC has agreed to provide to us through September 29, 2025, with automatic renewal for successive one-year terms, subject to IAC’s continued ownership of a majority of the total combined voting power of our voting stock and any subsequent extension(s) or truncation(s) agreed to by us and IAC. Services currently provided to us by IAC pursuant this agreement include: (i) assistance with certain legal, M&A, finance, risk management, internal audit and treasury functions, health and welfare benefits, information security services and insurance and tax affairs, including assistance with certain public company and unclaimed property reporting obligations and (ii) accounting, investor relations, and tax compliance services. The scope, nature and extent of services may be changed from time to time as we and IAC may agree.
In connection with the Distribution, we and IAC anticipate that we will amend update the schedule of services provided under the services agreement to reflect the provision of certain services requested by us (including certain of those currently covered by the employee matters agreement described below) for a to be agreed upon period of time following the Distribution,
on terms consistent with the services agreement, including our continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare, 401(k) and flexible benefits plans until January 1, 2026.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The tax sharing agreement governs our and IAC’s rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, entitlements to refunds, preparation of tax returns, tax contests and other tax matters regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, we are generally responsible and required to indemnify IAC for: (i) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or its subsidiaries that includes us or any of our subsidiaries, as determined under the tax sharing agreement and (ii) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax returns of us or our subsidiaries.
The tax sharing agreement also addresses the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to transactions like the Distribution, including the Distribution if it is completed. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, each party generally will be responsible for any taxes and related amounts imposed on IAC or us (or their respective subsidiaries) that arise from the failure of a spin-off of IAC’s interest in us (including, if completed, the Distribution) to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1)(D) and/or Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent that the failure to so qualify is attributable to: (i) a breach of the relevant covenants made by that party in the tax sharing agreement, (ii) an acquisition of such party’s equity securities (or certain arrangements or substantial negotiations or discussions with respect to certain such acquisitions) or assets, or (iii) solely with respect to us, any inaccuracy of any representation or covenant made by us in any documents provided in support of any tax opinion or ruling obtained by IAC with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Distribution.
The tax sharing agreement generally requires us to take any action reasonably requested by IAC to consummate a tax-free spin-off of IAC’s interest in us and not to take or fail to take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent such a spin-off.
In addition, the tax sharing agreement imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries during the two (2) year period following any spin-off (including, if completed, the Distribution) that are designed to preserve the tax-free status thereof. Specifically, during such period, except in specific circumstances, we and our subsidiaries generally would be prohibited from: (i) entering into any transaction pursuant to which our capital stock would be acquired above a certain threshold, (ii) merging, consolidating or liquidating, (iii) selling or transferring assets above certain thresholds, (iv) redeeming or repurchasing stock (with certain exceptions), (v) altering the voting rights of our capital stock, (vi) taking or failing to take other actions inconsistent with representations or covenants in any tax opinion or private letter ruling documents or (vii) ceasing to engage in any active trade or business as defined in the Code.
Employee Matters Agreement
The employee matters agreement addresses certain compensation and benefit issues related to the allocation of liabilities associated with: (i) employment or termination of employment; (ii) employee benefit plans and (iii) equity awards. Under the employee matters agreement, our employees participate in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare, 401(k) and flexible benefits plans and we reimburse IAC for the costs of such participation. In the event IAC no longer retains shares representing at least 80% of the aggregate voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of our board of directors, we will no longer participate in IAC’s employee benefit plans, but will establish our own employee benefit plans that will be substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC.
In addition, under the employee matters agreement, we are required to reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity awards held by our current and former employees, with IAC having the ability to elect to receive payment either in cash or shares of our Class B common stock. This agreement also provides that IAC may require certain equity awards denominated in shares of our subsidiaries to be settled in either shares of our Class A common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent that shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, we are obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of our capital stock.
Lastly, in the event of a distribution of our capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the IAC board of directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Such authority includes (but is not limited to) the ability to convert all or part of IAC equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the distribution into equity awards denominated in shares of our Class A Common Stock, which we would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to our stockholders.
Following the Distribution, solely for purposes of determining the expiration of options with respect to shares of common stock of one company held by employees of the other company, IAC and Angi employees will be deemed employed by both
companies for so long as they continue to be employed by whichever of the companies employs them immediately following the Distribution.
We expect to terminate the employee matters agreement upon the completion of the Distribution, with our continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare, 401(k) and flexible benefits plans to be covered under the services agreement described above.
Relationship With IAC After the Distribution
Following the Distribution, we and IAC will continue to be independent, publicly traded companies, but IAC will no longer own any shares of our capital stock. Except as otherwise noted above, the Combination Agreements will survive the Distribution in accordance with their terms.

•We do not expect to declare any regular cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
•After the completion of the Distribution, provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws or Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control, or changes in management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.
The summary risk factors described above should be read together with the text of the full risk factors below and the other information set forth in this annual report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as in other documents that we file with the SEC. The risks summarized above or described in full below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth prospects.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our success will depend, in substantial part, on the continued migration of the home services market online.
We believe that the digital penetration of the home services market remains low, with the vast majority of consumers continuing to search for, select and hire professionals offline. While many consumers have historically been (and remain) averse to finding professionals online, others have demonstrated a greater willingness to embrace the online shift. Professionals must also continue to embrace the online shift, which will depend, in substantial part, on whether online products and services help them to better connect and engage with consumers relative to traditional offline efforts. The speed and ultimate outcome of the shift of the home services market online for consumers and professionals is uncertain and may not occur as quickly as we expect, or at all. The failure or delay of a meaningful number of consumers and/or professionals to migrate online and/or the return of a meaningful number of existing participants in the online home services market to offline solutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Marketing efforts designed to drive traffic to our brands and businesses may not be successful or cost-effective.
Attracting consumers and professionals to our brands and businesses involves considerable expenditures for online and offline marketing. We have made, and expect to continue to make, significant marketing expenditures for digital marketing (primarily paid search engine marketing, display advertising and third-party affiliate agreements) and traditional offline marketing (national television and radio campaigns). These efforts may not be successful or cost-effective. Historically, we have had to increase marketing expenditures over time to attract and retain consumers and professionals and sustain our growth.
Our ability to market our brands on any given property or channel is subject to the policies of the relevant third-party seller, publisher of advertising (including search engines, web browsers and social media platforms with extraordinarily high levels of traffic and numbers of users) or marketing affiliate. As a result, we cannot assure you that these parties will not limit or prohibit us from purchasing certain types of advertising (including the purchase by Angi of advertising with preferential placement), advertising certain of our products and services or using one or more current or prospective marketing channels in the future. If a significant marketing channel took such an action generally, for a significant period of time and/or on a recurring basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to comply with the policies of third-party sellers, publishers and/or marketing affiliates, our advertisements could be removed without notice or our accounts could be suspended or terminated, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our failure to respond to rapid and frequent changes in the pricing and operating dynamics of search engines, as well as changing policies and guidelines applicable to keyword advertising (which may unilaterally be updated by search engines without advance notice), could adversely affect our paid search engine marketing efforts (and free search engine traffic). Such changes, including any phasing out (or blocking) of third-party cookies by web browsers, could adversely affect paid listings (both their placement and pricing), as well as the ranking of our brands and businesses within search results, any or all of which could increase our marketing expenditures (particularly if free traffic is replaced with paid traffic). Any or all of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if there are changes in the usage and functioning of search engines and/or decreases in consumer use of search engines, for example, as a result of the continued development of AI technology, this could negatively impact our ability to drive traffic to our platforms. For example, AI could be utilized to better educate homeowners on how to perform their own home improvement projects, thereby reducing the need for our business, or AI could eventually transform the way search engines currently work, thereby creating unknown challenges to our marketing channels.
Evolving consumer behavior (specifically, increased consumption of media through digital means) can also affect the availability of profitable marketing opportunities. To continue to reach and engage consumers and professionals and grow in this environment, we will need to continue to identify and devote more of our overall marketing expenditures to newer digital advertising channels (such as online video, social media, streaming, OTT and other digital platforms), as well as target consumers and professionals via these channels in a cost-effective manner. As these channels continue to evolve relative to traditional channels (such as television), it could continue to be difficult to assess returns on related marketing investments, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we also enter into various arrangements with third parties to drive visitors to Angi platforms. These arrangements are generally more cost-effective than traditional marketing efforts. If we are unable to renew existing (and enter into new) arrangements of this nature, sales and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue would increase over the long-term, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the quality and convertibility of traffic and leads generated through third-party arrangements are dependent on many factors, most of which are outside our control. If the quality or convertibility of traffic and leads do not meet the expectations of our users or Angi Leads professionals, they could leave our network or decrease their budgets for consumer matches or participation in pre-priced booking services, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on Internet search engines to drive traffic to our various properties. Certain operators of search services offer products and services that compete directly with our products and services. If links to websites offering our products and services are not displayed prominently in search results, traffic to our properties could decline and our business could be adversely affected.
In addition to paid marketing, we rely heavily on Internet search engines, such as Google, to drive traffic to our properties through their unpaid search results. Although search results have allowed us to attract a large audience with low organic traffic acquisition costs in the past, if they fail to continue to drive sufficient traffic to our properties, we may need to increase our marketing spend to acquire additional traffic. We cannot assure you that the value we ultimately derive from any such additional traffic would exceed the cost of acquisition, and any increase in marketing expense may in turn harm our operating results.
The amount of traffic we attract from search engines is due in large part to how and where information about our brands (and links to websites offering our products and services) are displayed on search engine results pages. The display, including rankings, of unpaid search results can be affected by a number of factors, many of which are not in our direct control, and may change frequently. Search engines have made changes in the past to their ranking algorithms, methodologies and design layouts that have reduced the prominence of links to websites offering our products and services, and negatively impacted traffic to such websites, and we expect that search engines will continue to make such changes from time to time in the future. In addition, changes in the usage and functioning of search engines and/or decreases in consumer use of search engines, for example, as a result of the continued development of artificial intelligence technology, could negatively impact our ability to drive traffic to our properties.
However, we may not know how (or otherwise be in a position) to influence actions of this nature taken by search engines. With respect to search results in particular, even when search engines announce the details of their methodologies, their parameters may change from time to time, be poorly defined or be inconsistently interpreted.
In addition, in some instances, search engines may change their displays or rankings in order to promote their own competing products or services, or the products or services of one or more of our competitors. Any such action could negatively impact the search rankings of links to websites offering our products and services, or the prominence with which such links appear in search results. Our success depends on the ability of our products and services to maintain a prominent position in search results, and in the event operators of search engines promote their own competing products in the future in a manner that has the effect of reducing the prominence or ranking of our products and services, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our success depends on our ability to continue to balance our various offerings to service professionals across the Angi platforms.
Our Services business provides a pre-priced offering, pursuant to which consumers can request services through Services platforms and pay for such services on the applicable platform directly. These service requests are then fulfilled by independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provide such services. Increased participation in pre-priced offerings could reduce the levels of professional participation in our Ads and Leads or other leads-based offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends, in substantial part, on our ability to establish and maintain relationships with quality and trustworthy professionals.
We must continue to attract, retain and grow the number of skilled and reliable professionals who can provide services across our platforms. Similarly, in order to continue to attract, retain and grow the number of professionals who can provide services, professionals need to feel safe in their work environment. If we do not offer innovative products and services that resonate with consumers and professionals generally, as well as provide professionals with an attractive return on their marketing and advertising investments, the number of professionals affiliated with our platforms would decrease. Any such decrease would result in smaller and less diverse networks and directories of professionals, and in turn, decreases in service requests, pre-priced offerings and directory searches, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to skill and reliability, consumers want to work with professionals whom they can trust to work in their homes and with whom they can feel safe. While we maintain screening processes (which generally include certain, limited background checks) to try and prevent unsuitable professionals from joining our platforms, these processes have limitations and, even with these safety measures, no assurances can be provided regarding the future behavior of any provider on our platforms. Inappropriate and/or unlawful behavior of professionals generally (particularly any such behavior that compromises the trustworthiness of providers and/or of the safety of consumers), could result in decreases in service requests, bad publicity and related damage to our reputation, brands and brand-building efforts and/or actions by governmental and regulatory authorities, criminal proceedings and/or litigation. Similarly, inappropriate and/or unlawful behavior towards professionals by consumers or subscribers (particularly behavior that compromises their safety) could result in a reduction in the number of professionals willing to provide services through our platforms, bad publicity and related damage to our reputation, brands and brand-building efforts and/or actions by governmental and regulatory authorities, criminal proceedings and/or litigation. The occurrence or any of these events could, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to develop and monetize versions of our products and services for mobile and other digital devices.
As consumers increasingly access our products and services through mobile and other digital devices (including through digital voice assistants), we will need to continue to devote significant time and resources to ensure that our products and
services are accessible across these platforms (and multiple platforms generally). If we do not keep pace with evolving online, market and industry trends including the continuing evolution of AI, the introduction of new and enhanced digital devices and changes in the preferences and needs of consumers and professionals generally, offer new and/or enhanced products and services in response to such trends that resonate with consumers and professionals, monetize products and services for mobile and other digital devices as effectively as our traditional products and services and/or maintain related systems, technology and infrastructure in an efficient and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, the success of our mobile and other digital products and services depends on their interoperability with various third-party operating systems, technology, infrastructure and standards, over which we have no control. Any changes to any of these things that compromise the quality or functionality of our mobile and other digital products and services could adversely affect their usage levels and/or our ability to attract consumers and professionals, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to access, collect and use personal data about consumers.
We depend on search engines, digital app stores and social media platforms, in particular, those operated by Google, Apple and Facebook, to market, distribute and monetize our products and services. Consumers engage with these platforms directly, and as a result, these platforms generally receive personal data about consumers that we would otherwise receive if we transacted with them directly. Certain of these platforms have restricted (and continue to restrict) our access to personal data about users of our products and services obtained through their platforms. In addition, the privacy and data collection policies of certain platforms require users to opt-in to sharing their devices’ unique identifiers with our businesses, which allow them to recognize a given device and track related activity across applications and websites, primarily for marketing purposes. If these platforms continue to limit, eliminate or otherwise interfere with our ability to access, collect and use personal data about users of our products and services, our ability to identify, communicate with, and market to a meaningful portion of our user base may be adversely impacted. If so, our customer relationship management efforts, our ability to identify, target and reach new segments of our user base and the population generally, and the efficiency of our paid marketing efforts could be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that search engines, digital app stores, and social media platforms upon which we rely will not continue to limit, eliminate or otherwise interfere with our ability to access, collect and use personal data about users of our products and services. To the extent that any or all of them do so, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our ability to communicate with consumers and professionals via email (or other sufficient means) is critical to our success.
Historically, one of our primary means of communicating with consumers and professionals and keeping them engaged with our products and services has been via email communication. Through email, we provide consumers and professionals with service request and offering updates, as well as present or suggest new products and services (among other things) and market our products and services in a cost-effective manner. As consumers increasingly communicate via mobile and other digital devices and messaging and social media apps, usage of email (particularly among younger consumers) has declined and we expect this trend to continue. In addition, deliverability and other restrictions could limit or prevent our ability to send emails to consumers and professionals. For example, in early 2024, email providers tightened their spam thresholds. Exceeding these more stringent spam thresholds could result in some or all of our emails being delayed or blocked, and therefore less likely to be opened. We cannot assure you that any alternative means of communication (for example, push notifications and text messaging) will be as effective as email has been historically.
Further, consumers also increasingly screen their incoming emails, telephone calls and text messages, including via screening tools and warnings, and, therefore, our professionals and consumers may not reliably receive our communications. A continued and significant erosion in our ability to communicate with consumers and professionals via email could adversely impact the overall user experience, consumer and professional engagement levels and conversion rates, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes to certain requirements applicable to certain communications with consumers may adversely impact our ability to generate leads for our professionals.
In connection with the marketing of our products and services and efforts to generate leads for our professionals, we have historically relied on our ability (and the ability of our professionals) to communicate with consumers via phone and text, in some cases using automated technology, as have third party affiliates through which we market our products and services. In an effort to reduce robocalls and robotexts, there has been an increased effort by U.S. regulatory authorities and telecommunications carriers to ensure that consumers opt in to receiving certain marketing calls and texts from businesses. To the extent that any regulatory restrictions are implemented, such restrictions could adversely impact consumer engagement levels and consumer conversion in the case of our products and services, which would decrease leads generated on our platforms, as well as our ability to obtain leads through our third party affiliate relationships, which, in turn, could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, phone carriers increasingly dictate rules for obtaining consumers’ consent to receive text messages. This may reduce the number of consumers who opt-in to receiving both marketing and transactional texts from us and our professionals, which could further adversely impact our ability to generate leads for our professionals and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There may be adverse tax, legal and other consequences if the contractor classification or employment status of the professionals who use our platform is challenged.
We are particularly sensitive to the adoption of worker classification laws, specifically, laws that could effectively require us to change our classification of certain of our professionals from independent contractors to employees, as well as changes to state and local laws or judicial decisions related to the definition and/or classification of independent contractors. We continue to monitor the worker classification laws to ensure compliance with their laws. If we are required to reclassify professionals from independent contractors to employees and/or their classification is challenged for any reason, we could be exposed to various liabilities and additional costs for prior and future periods, including under federal, state and local tax laws, workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits, minimum and overtime wage laws, and other labor and employment laws, as well as potential liability for penalties and interest. If the amounts related to such liabilities and additional costs are significant, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. See Item 8 - Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 15 - Contingencies.
General Risk Factors
Our brands and businesses operate in an especially competitive and evolving industry.
The home services industry is competitive, with a consistent and growing stream of new products, services and entrants. Some of our competitors may enjoy better competitive positions in certain geographical areas, with certain consumer and professional demographics and/or in other key areas that we currently serve or may serve in the future. Generally, we compete with search engines, online marketplaces and social media platforms that can market their products and services online in a more prominent and cost-effective manner than we can, as well as better tailor their products and services to individual users. Any of these advantages could enable these competitors to offer products and services that are more appealing to consumers and professionals than our products and services, respond more quickly and/or cost effectively than we do to evolving market opportunities and trends, and/or display their own integrated or related home services products and services in search results and elsewhere in a more prominent manner than our products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, since most of our home services products and services are offered to consumers for free, consumers can easily switch among home services offerings (or use multiple home services offerings simultaneously) at no cost to them. And while professionals may incur additional or duplicative near-term costs, the costs for switching to a competing platform over the long term are generally not prohibitive. Low switching costs, coupled with the propensity of consumers to try new products and services generally, will most likely result in the continued emergence of new products and services, entrants and business models in the home services industry. Our inability to continue to innovate and compete effectively against new products, services and competitors could result in decreases in the size and level of engagement of our consumer and professional bases, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our brands and businesses are sensitive to general economic events and trends, particularly those that adversely impact consumer confidence and spending behavior, as well as general geopolitical risks.
General economic conditions and other factors, such as consumer confidence in future economic conditions, recessionary concerns, rising interest rates, increased inflation, the availability and cost of consumer credit, levels of unemployment and tax rates could result in consumers delaying or foregoing home services projects and/or professionals being less likely to pay for consumer matches and subscriptions or spending on marketing and advertising. Ongoing volatility and/or uncertainty related to global economic conditions, including as a result of the geopolitical tensions and conflicts, affect the predictability of our business. Unfavorable economic conditions, volatility and uncertainty could result in decreases in traffic, service requests and directory searches. Any such decreases could adversely impact the number and quality of professionals and/or adversely impact the reach of, and breadth of, our services offerings, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Lastly, given the adverse financial and operational impact we experienced as a result of the coronavirus and measures designed to contain its spread, any future outbreak of a widespread health epidemic or pandemic could adversely impact our ability to conduct ordinary course business activities and employee productivity and increase operating costs. Moreover, we could also experience business disruption if the ordinary course operations of our third-party affiliates, partners and vendors are adversely affected, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Our success depends, in substantial part, on our ability to maintain and/or enhance our brands, which could be negatively impacted by various factors.
We own and operate two of the leading home services brands in the United States (Angi and HomeAdvisor), as well as leading brands in several foreign jurisdictions.
We believe that our success depends, in substantial part, on our continued ability to build awareness and loyalty to our Angi brand, maintain and enhance our established brands, as well as build awareness of (and loyalty to) our newer brands. Events that could negatively impact our brands and brand-building efforts include (among others): product and service quality concerns; professional quality concerns; consumer and professional complaints and lawsuits; lack of awareness of our policies or confusion about how the policies are applied; a failure to respond to feedback from our professionals and consumers; ineffective advertising; inappropriate and/or unlawful acts perpetrated by professionals and consumers; actions or proceedings commenced by governmental or regulatory authorities; and inadequate data protection and security breaches including related bad publicity. Any factors that negatively impact the Angi and/or HomeAdvisor brand(s) could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, trust in the integrity and objective, unbiased nature of the ratings and reviews found across our various brands contributes significantly to public perception of these brands and their ability to attract consumers and professionals. If consumer reviews are perceived as not authentic in general, the reputation and strength of the relevant brand could be materially and adversely affected. While we use, and will continue to use, filters (among other processes) to detect fraudulent reviews, the accuracy of consumer reviews cannot be guaranteed. If fraudulent or inaccurate reviews (positive or negative) increase and we are unable to effectively identify and remove such reviews, the overall quality of the ratings and reviews across our various brands could decrease and the reputation of affected brands might be harmed. This could deter consumers and professionals from using our products and services, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks or cyberattacks experienced by third parties may adversely affect us.
We are regularly under attack by threat actors through the use of botnets, malware or other destructive or disruptive software, distributed denial of service attacks, phishing, attempts to misappropriate user information and account login credentials, and intercept payments intended for legitimate third parties, and other similar malicious activities. The incidence of events of this nature (or any combination thereof) is on the rise worldwide. Our efforts to develop and maintain systems designed to detect and prevent events of this nature from impacting our systems, technology, infrastructure, products, services, payment processes and procedures, and users are costly and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome preventative security measures become more sophisticated. There can be no assurance that the systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyberattacks or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect material consequences arising from such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material adverse impact on our systems after such incidents or attacks do occur. Despite these efforts, some of our systems have experienced past security incidents and we could experience significant events of this nature in the future.
Any event of this nature that we experience could damage our systems, technology and infrastructure or those of our users, prevent us from providing our products and services, compromise the integrity of our products and services, damage our reputation, erode our brands or be costly to remedy, as well as subject us to investigations by regulatory authorities, fines or litigation that could result in liability to third parties. Even if we do not experience such events directly, the impact of any such events experienced by third parties could have a similar effect. If we were to experience future events involving third-party service providers, the impacts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in a significant or material manner. We may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate for losses resulting from any of these events. If we (or any third-party with whom we do business or on which we otherwise rely) experience(s) an event of this nature, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If personal, confidential or sensitive user information that we maintain and store is breached or otherwise accessed by unauthorized persons, it may be costly to mitigate and our reputation could be harmed.
We receive, process, store and transmit a significant amount of personal, confidential or sensitive user and subscriber information and, in the case of certain of our products and services, enable users and subscribers to share their personal information with each other. Our efforts to develop and maintain systems designed to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of this information may not prevent inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure, and third parties may gain unauthorized access to this information. When such events occur, we may not be able to remedy them, we may be required by law to notify regulators and impacted individuals and it may be costly to mitigate the impact of such events and to develop and implement protections to prevent future events of this nature from occurring. When breaches of security (ours or that of any third party that we engage to store such information) occur, we could face governmental enforcement actions, significant fines, litigation (including consumer class actions) and the reputation of our brands and business could be harmed, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our insurance coverage for these matters may be insufficient to cover our losses, and in the future, we may be unable to obtain cybersecurity insurance on commercially
reasonable terms. In addition, if any of the search engines, digital app stores or social media platforms through which we market, distribute and monetize our products and services were to experience a breach, third parties could gain unauthorized access to personal data about our users and subscribers, which could indirectly harm the reputation of our brands and business and, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities and increased costs.
We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personal information in connection with the provision of our products and services. The manner in which we share, store, use, disclose and protect this information is determined by the respective privacy and data security policies of our various businesses, as well as federal, state and foreign laws and regulations and evolving industry standards and practices, which are changing, and in some cases, inconsistent and conflicting and subject to differing interpretations. In addition, new laws, regulations, standards and practices of this nature are proposed and adopted from time to time.
For example, several U.S. territories and all 50 states now have data breach laws that require timely notification to individuals, and at times regulators, the media or credit reporting agencies, if a company has experienced the unauthorized access or acquisition of personal information. Certain states, including but not limited to California, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut, and Colorado, have enacted consumer privacy laws that impose disclosure obligations for businesses that collect personal information about residents and afford those individuals additional rights relating to their personal information that may affect our ability to use personal information or share it with our business partners. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of these state laws, which may impose substantial penalties for violations, impose significant costs for investigations and compliance, allow private class-action litigation and carry significant potential liability for our business.
Outside of the U.S., data protection laws also apply to some of our operations. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) in the United Kingdom and the European Union imposes, among other things, strict obligations and restrictions on the collection and use of U.K. and European Union personal data, a requirement for prompt notice of data breaches in certain circumstances, a requirement for implementation of certain approved safeguards for transfers of personal data to third countries, and possible substantial fines for any violations. Governmental authorities around the world have enacted similar types of legislative and regulatory requirements concerning data protection, and additional governments are considering similar legal frameworks.
We may be subject to claims of non-compliance with applicable privacy and data protection policies, laws and regulations and industry standards and practices that we may not be able to successfully defend or significant fines and penalties. Moreover, any non-compliance or perceived non-compliance by us (or any third-party we engage to store or process information) or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access to (or use or transmission of) personal information could result in a variety of claims against us, including governmental enforcement actions, significant fines, litigation (including consumer class actions), claims of breach of contract and indemnity by third parties and adverse publicity. When such events occur, our reputation could be harmed and the competitive positions of our various brands and businesses could be diminished, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, to the extent multiple U.S. state (or European Union member-state) laws are introduced with inconsistent or conflicting standards and there is no federal or European Union regulation to preempt such laws, compliance could be even more difficult to achieve and our potential exposure to the risks discussed above could increase.
Lastly, ongoing compliance with existing (and compliance with future) privacy and data protection laws worldwide could be costly. The devotion of significant expenditures to compliance (versus the development of products and services) could result in delays in the development of new products and services, us ceasing to provide problematic products and services in existing jurisdictions and us being prevented from introducing products and services in new and existing jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Credit card data security breaches or fraud could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We accept payments (including recurring payments) from professionals and consumers, primarily through credit and debit card transactions. The ability to access payment information on a real-time basis without having to proactively reach out to professionals and consumers to process payments is critical to our success.
When third parties (including credit card processing companies, as well as any business that offers products and services online or offline) experience a data security breach involving credit card information, affected cardholders will often cancel their credit cards. The more sizable a given affected third-party’s customer base, the greater the number of accounts impacted and the more likely it will be that our professionals and consumers would be impacted by such a breach. If such a breach were to impact our professionals and consumers, we would need to contact affected professionals and consumers to obtain new payment information. It is likely that we would not be able to reach all affected professionals and consumers, and even if we
could, new payment information for some may not be obtained and pending payments may not be processed, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Even if our professionals and consumers are not directly impacted by a given data security breach, they may lose confidence in the ability of providers of online products and services to protect their personal information generally. As a result, they may stop using their credit cards online and choose alternative payment methods that are not as convenient for us or restrict our ability to process payments without significant effort, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends, in part, on the integrity, quality, efficiency and scalability of our systems, technology and infrastructure, and those of third parties.
We rely on our systems, technology and infrastructure to perform well on a consistent basis. From time to time in the past we have experienced (and in the future we may experience) occasional interruptions that make some or all of this framework and related information unavailable or that prevent us from providing products and services; any such interruption could arise for any number of reasons. We also rely on third-party data center service providers and cloud-based, hosted web service providers, as well as third-party computer systems and a variety of communications systems and service providers in connection with the provision of our products and services generally, as well as to facilitate and process certain payment and other transactions with users. We have no control over any of these third parties or their operations and the interruption of any of the services provided by these third parties could prevent us from accessing user and subscriber information and providing our products and services. If any third parties do not adequately or appropriately provide their services or perform their responsibilities to us or our users, such as if third-party service providers are unable to restore operations and data, fail to perform as expected, or experience other unanticipated problems, we may be subject to business disruptions, losses or costs to remediate any of the deficiencies, user dissatisfaction, reputational damage, legal or regulatory proceedings, or other adverse consequences which could harm our business. Additionally, if our third-party service providers experience a security incident or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences. While we may be entitled to damages if our third-party service providers fail to satisfy their data privacy or security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. In addition, supply chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties’ infrastructure in our supply chain or our third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised.
The framework described above could be damaged or interrupted at any time due to fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God and other similar events or disruptions. Any event of this nature could prevent us from providing our products and services at all (or result in the provision of our products and services on a delayed or intermittent basis) or result in the loss of critical data. Businesses that we acquire may employ cybersecurity controls or information security policies less robust than ours, which may require us to expend additional resources to integrate acquired systems into our own, and which may expose us to heightened risk. The backup systems that we and the third parties upon whom we rely have in place for certain aspects of our respective frameworks may be insufficient for all recovery eventualities. In addition, we may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for losses from a major interruption. When such damages, interruptions or outages occur, our reputation could be harmed and the competitive positions of our various brands and businesses could be diminished, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We also continually work to expand and enhance the efficiency and scalability of our framework to improve the consumer and professional experience, accommodate substantial increases in the number of visitors to our various platforms, ensure acceptable load times for our various products and services, and keep up with changes in technology and user preferences. If we do not do so in a timely and cost-effective manner, the user experience and demand across our brands and businesses could be adversely affected, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on our key personnel.
Our future success depends upon our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled, diverse and talented individuals, particularly in the case of senior leadership. Competition for well-qualified employees across our various businesses has been (and is expected to continue to be) intense, particularly in the case of senior leadership, technology and product development roles, and we must continue to attract new (and retain existing) employees to compete effectively. While we have established programs to attract new (and retain existing) key and other employees, we may not be able to do so in the future. If we fail to retain key and other employees, this could result in the loss of institutional knowledge and the disruption of our day-to-day operations, which could adversely impact the effectiveness of our internal control framework and our ability (and the ability of our various businesses) to successfully execute long term strategic initiatives and other goals. If we do not ensure the effective transfer of knowledge to successors and smooth transitions (particularly in the case of senior leadership) by way of tailored succession plans across Angi and our various businesses, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Current Relationship with IAC
IAC controls our company and will have the ability to control the direction of our business.
As of December 31, 2024, IAC owned all of our outstanding shares of Class B common stock, and 2,588,180 outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, in total representing approximately 85.3% of our total outstanding shares of capital stock and approximately 98.3% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. For so long as IAC owns shares of our capital stock that represent a majority of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock, it will be able to control any corporate action that requires a stockholder vote, regardless of the vote of any other stockholder (subject to certain limited exceptions for certain class votes). As a result, IAC has (and we expect will continue to have) the ability to control significant corporate activities, including:
•the election of our board of directors (subject to certain provisions of the investor rights agreement between us and IAC) and, through our board of directors, decision-making with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers;
•acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets, mergers or other business combinations;
•issuances of shares of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock and our capital structure generally;
•corporate opportunities that may be suitable for us and IAC, subject to the corporate opportunity provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as described below);
•our financing activities, including the issuance of debt securities and/or the incurrence of other indebtedness generally;
•stock repurchases or the payment of one-time or recurring dividends; and
•the number of shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans.
This voting control will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that stockholders other than IAC do not view as beneficial. This voting control may also discourage transactions involving a change of control of our company, including transactions in which holders of shares of our Class A common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares.
Even if IAC owns shares of our capital stock representing less than a majority of the total combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock, so long as IAC owns shares representing a significant percentage of our total combined voting power, IAC will have the ability to substantially influence these significant corporate activities.
In addition, pursuant to the investor rights agreement between us and IAC, IAC has the right to maintain its level of ownership in us to the extent we issue additional shares of our capital stock in the future and, pursuant to the employee matters agreement between us and IAC, IAC may receive payment for certain compensation expenses through the receipt of additional shares of our capital stock. For a more complete summary of our various agreements with IAC, see “Note 16-Related Party Transactions with IAC” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8 - Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Until such time as IAC no longer controls or has the ability to substantially influence us, we will continue to face the risks described in this “Risk Factors” section relating to IAC’s control of us and the potential conflicts of interest between us and IAC.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation could prevent us from benefiting from certain corporate opportunities.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation has a “corporate opportunity” provision that requires us to renounce any interests or expectancy in corporate opportunities for both us and IAC. This provision also includes a disclaimer that states that we recognize that: (i) any of our directors or officers who are also officers, directors, employees or other affiliates of IAC or its affiliates (except that we and our subsidiaries are not considered affiliates of IAC or its affiliates for purposes of this provision) and (ii) IAC itself, will have no duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunities to us. Generally, neither IAC nor any of our officers or directors who are also officers or directors of IAC or its affiliates will be liable to us or any of our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any such person pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for the account of IAC or any of its affiliates, directs or transfers such corporate opportunity to IAC or any of its affiliates or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to us. This corporate opportunity provision may exacerbate conflicts of interest between us and IAC because the provision effectively permits any of our directors or officers who also serves as a director or officer of IAC to choose to direct a corporate opportunity to IAC instead of us.
IAC’s interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders. Conflicts of interest between us and IAC could be resolved in a manner unfavorable to us and our other stockholders.
Various conflicts of interest between us and IAC could arise. As of the date of this report, six of our eleven directors are nominated by IAC and four of our eleven directors are current directors or executive officers of IAC. Ownership interests of these individuals and IAC in our capital stock and ownership interests of our directors and officers in IAC capital stock, or service by an individual as either a director and/or officer of both companies, could create or appear to create potential conflicts of interest when such individuals are faced with decisions relating to us. These decisions could include:
•corporate opportunities;
•the impact that operating or capital decisions (including the incurrence of indebtedness) relating to our business may have on IAC's consolidated financial statements and/or current or future indebtedness (including related covenants);
•business combinations involving us;
•our dividend and stock repurchase policies;
•management stock ownership; and
•the intercompany agreements and services between us and IAC.
Potential conflicts of interest could also arise if we decide to enter into new commercial arrangements with IAC in the future or in connection with IAC’s desire to enter into new commercial arrangements with third parties. Additionally, IAC may be constrained by the terms of agreements relating to its indebtedness from taking actions, or permitting us to take actions, that may be in our best interest.
Furthermore, disputes may arise between us and IAC relating to our past and ongoing relationships, and these potential conflicts of interest may make it more difficult for us to favorably resolve such disputes, including those related to: tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising from the Combination; the nature, quality and pricing of services IAC agrees to provide to us; sales or other disposals by IAC of all or a portion of its ownership interest in us; and business combinations involving us.
We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and even if we do, the resolution may be less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third-party. While we are controlled by IAC, we may not have the leverage to negotiate amendments to our various agreements with IAC (if required) on terms as favorable to us as those we would negotiate with an unaffiliated third-party.
We rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of other companies.
Because IAC owns more than 50% of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock, we are a “controlled company” under the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Marketplace Rules”). As a “controlled company,” we are exempt from compliance with certain Marketplace Rules related to corporate governance, including that a majority of our board of directors consists of “independent directors” (as defined in the Marketplace Rules) and that we have a nominating/governance committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.
Accordingly, for so long as we are a “controlled company” and avail ourselves of these exemptions, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Marketplace Rules.
IAC’s desire to maintain flexibility with respect to its ability to distribute the shares of our capital stock it holds on a tax-free basis to its stockholders, and its desire to preserve the ability to maintain tax consolidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may prevent us from pursuing opportunities to raise capital, acquire other businesses or provide equity incentives to our employees, or otherwise impact our ability to manage our capital structure.
Under current laws, IAC must retain beneficial ownership of at least 80% of our combined voting power and 80% of each class of our non-voting capital stock (if any is outstanding) in order to effect a tax-free distribution of our shares held by IAC to its stockholders. IAC has advised us that it does not have any present intention or plans to undertake such a tax-free distribution. However, IAC does currently intend to use its majority voting interest to retain its ability to engage in such a transaction. In addition, IAC must maintain ownership of at least 80% of our outstanding capital stock in order to maintain tax consolidation with us for U.S. federal income tax purposes. IAC has advised us that it currently intends to take such actions, or cause the Company to take such actions, as may be necessary in order to preserve tax consolidation. Each of these intentions may cause IAC not to support transactions that we wish to pursue that involve issuing shares of our capital stock, including for
capital-raising purposes, as consideration for an acquisition or as equity incentives to our employees, or otherwise impact our overall capital management strategy. Our inability to pursue such transactions, or any reduced flexibility in the management of our capital structure, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our agreements with IAC will require us to indemnify IAC for certain tax liabilities and may limit our ability to engage in desirable strategic or capital-raising transactions.
Pursuant to our tax sharing agreement with IAC, we generally will be responsible and will be required to indemnify IAC for: (i) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or its subsidiaries that includes us or any of our subsidiaries to the extent attributable to us or any of our subsidiaries (excluding certain taxes attributable to Angi and its subsidiaries for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the completion of the Combination), as determined under the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax returns of ours or any of our subsidiaries. To the extent IAC fails to pay taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or one of its subsidiaries that includes us or any of our subsidiaries, the relevant taxing authority could seek to collect such taxes (including taxes for which IAC is responsible under the tax sharing agreement) from us or our subsidiaries.
Under the tax sharing agreement, we generally will be responsible for any taxes and related amounts imposed on IAC or us (or our respective subsidiaries) that arise from the failure of a future spin-off of IAC’s retained interest in us to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1)(D) and/or Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent that the failure to so qualify is attributable to: (i) a breach of the relevant representations and covenants made by us in the tax sharing agreement (or any representation letter provided in support of any tax opinion or ruling obtained by IAC with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of such spin-off), (ii) an acquisition of our equity securities or assets or (iii) any other action or inaction by us after any such spin-off.
To preserve the tax-free treatment of any potential future spin-off by IAC of its interest in us, the tax sharing agreement restricts us and our subsidiaries, for the two-year period following any such spin-off (except in specific circumstances), from: (i) entering into any transaction pursuant to which shares of our capital stock would be acquired above a certain threshold, (ii) merging, consolidating or liquidating, (iii) selling or transferring assets above certain thresholds, (iv) redeeming or repurchasing stock (with certain exceptions), (v) altering the voting rights of our capital stock, (vi) actions and inactions that are inconsistent with representations or covenants in any tax opinion or private letter ruling document or (vii) ceasing to engage in any active trade or business as defined in the Code. The indemnity obligations and other limitations under the tax sharing agreement could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future sales or distributions of shares of our capital stock by IAC could depress the price of our Class A common stock.
IAC has the right to sell or distribute to its stockholders all or a portion of the shares of our capital stock that it holds. Although as of the date of this report IAC has advised us that it does not have any present intention or plans to undertake such a sale or distribution, sales by IAC in the public market or distributions to its stockholders of substantial amounts of our capital stock (shares of Class B common stock or Class A common stock) could depress the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, IAC has the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering the sale of the shares of our capital stock it holds or to include such shares in other registration statements that we may file. If IAC exercises these registration rights and sells all or a portion of the shares of our capital stock it holds, the price of our Class A common stock could decline.
The services that IAC provides to us may not be sufficient to meet our needs.
We expect IAC to continue to provide us with corporate and shared services related to corporate functions, such as executive oversight, risk management, information technology, accounting, audit, legal, investor relations, tax, treasury and other services in exchange for the fees specified in the services agreement between us and IAC. Since the services agreement automatically renews for one (1) year periods for as long as IAC holds a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, we may not be able to modify these services in a manner desirable to us as a standalone public company. Although we intend to replace portions of the services currently provided by IAC, we may not be able to perform these services ourselves and/or find appropriate third parties to do so at a reasonable cost (or at costs at or below those charged by IAC), which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness.
Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to meet our scheduled debt obligations. If so, we could be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or seek additional capital in a manner that complies with the terms (including certain restrictions and limitations) of our current indebtedness. If these efforts do not generate sufficient funds to meet our scheduled debt obligations, we would need to seek additional financing and/or negotiate with our bondholders to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to do so would depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any such financing, restructuring or refinancing could be on less favorable terms than those governing our current indebtedness and would need to comply with the terms (including certain restrictions and limitations) of our existing indebtedness.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock Before the Distribution
The multiclass structure of our capital stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with IAC and limiting the ability of holders of our Class A common stock to influence corporate matters.
Each share of our Class B common stock has ten votes per share and each share of our Class A common stock has one vote per share. As of December 31, 2024, IAC owned all of our outstanding shares of Class B common stock, and 2,588,180 outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, in total representing approximately 85.3% of our total outstanding shares of capital stock and approximately 98.3% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Due to the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B common stock and Class A common stock, IAC (and any future holders of our Class B common stock, collectively) will continue to control a substantial majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock. This concentrated control will significantly limit the ability of holders of our Class A common stock to influence matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.
The difference in the voting rights of our Class B common stock and Class A common stock may harm the value and liquidity of our Class A common stock.
This difference in voting rights between our Class B common stock and Class A common stock could harm the value of our Class A common stock to the extent that any investor or potential future purchaser of our Class A common stock ascribes value to the right of the holders of our Class B common stock to ten votes per share. The existence of two classes of common stock with different voting rights could result in less liquidity for our Class A common stock than if there were only one class of common stock, which could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.
The Delaware General Corporation Law and certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company and/or changes in our management.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company and/or changes in our management that our stockholders may deem advantageous, including provisions that: (i) authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, which our board of directors could issue to discourage a takeover attempt; (ii) limit the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; and (iii) provide that our board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws.
Any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a related premium for their Class A common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.
The choice of forum provision in our amended and restated bylaws could limit the ability of our stockholders to obtain the judicial forum of their choice for certain disputes.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, a state court within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for all of the following actions: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for (or based on breach of) fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees pursuant to the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, (iv) any action asserting a claim relating to or involving us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” (as defined under the DGCL). This choice of forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our current or former directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find our choice of forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we could incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Relating to the Distribution
Some or all of the expected benefits of the Distribution may not be achieved.
The full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the Distribution may not be achieved, or such benefits may be delayed or may never occur at all. The Distribution is expected to provide the following benefits to us, among others:
•enabling us to allocate our financial resources to meet the unique needs of our businesses and to implement our own optimal capital structure tailored to its strategy and business needs;
•greater flexibility to raise equity capital needed to fund growth, including by using our stock as equity currency to make strategic acquisitions and for employee compensation;
•a potential increase in our equity value, including through the elimination of IAC, our controlling stockholder;
•the potential to attract new investors and expanded coverage by equity research analysts, which increase, if realized, could provide us with a more efficient equity currency for acquisitions and employee compensation;
•providing our management team with undiluted focus on our specific operating and strategic priorities and customer requirements and streamlined decision-making; and
•an ability to select a board of directors with the right mix of experience, skills and other qualifications to oversee our operations as an independent company.
We may not achieve these or other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) the possibility that the Distribution will not be completed, (ii) we will be more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events following the consummation of the Distribution, (iii) the risk of litigation, injunctions or other legal proceedings relating to the Distribution and (iv) consummation of the Distribution will require significant amounts of management time and effort, which may divert management attention from operating and growing our business. If we fail to achieve some or all of the benefits expected to result from the Distribution, or if such benefits are delayed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
If the Distribution were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IAC, Angi and their respective stockholders could suffer material adverse consequences.
It is a condition to the completion of the Distribution that IAC receive an opinion of its outside counsel satisfactory to the IAC board of directors, among other things, regarding the qualification of the Distribution as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355(a) of the Code. The opinion of counsel will be based and rely upon, among other things, various facts and assumptions, as well as certain representations, statements and undertakings of IAC and the Company, including those relating to the past and future conduct of their businesses. If any of these representations, statements or undertakings is, or becomes, inaccurate or incomplete, or if any of the representations or covenants contained in any of the applicable agreements or in any document relating to the opinion of counsel are inaccurate or not complied with by IAC, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, the opinion of counsel may be invalid and the conclusions reached therein could be jeopardized.
Notwithstanding receipt of the opinion of counsel regarding the Distribution, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) could determine that the Distribution should be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions or undertakings upon which the opinion of counsel was based are inaccurate or have not been complied with. The opinion of counsel represents the judgment of such counsel and is not binding on the IRS or any court, and the IRS or a court may disagree with the conclusions in the opinion of counsel. Accordingly, notwithstanding receipt by IAC of the opinion of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that the Distribution does not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such a challenge, IAC and the Company and their respective stockholders could suffer material adverse consequences.
If the Distribution were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355(a) of the Code, in general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IAC would recognize a taxable gain as if it had sold its Angi Class A common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value. In such circumstance, holders of IAC common stock who receive Angi Class A common stock in the Distribution would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of such shares. Even if the Distribution were otherwise to qualify as a tax-free transaction under Section 355(a) of the Code, the Distribution may result in taxable gain to IAC, but not its stockholders, under
Section 355(e) of the Code if the Distribution were deemed to be part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire, directly or indirectly, shares representing a 50 percent or greater interest (by vote or value) in IAC or the Company. For this purpose, any acquisitions of IAC stock or Angi stock within the period beginning two years before, and ending two years after, the Distribution are presumed to be part of such a plan, although IAC or the Company may be able to rebut that presumption (including by qualifying for one or more safe harbors under applicable Treasury Regulations).
Under the existing tax sharing agreement, the Company generally is required to indemnify IAC for any taxes resulting from the failure of the Distribution to qualify for the intended tax-free treatment (and related amounts) to the extent that the failure to so qualify is attributable to: (i) an acquisition of all or a portion of the equity securities or assets of the Company, whether by merger or otherwise by any person (and regardless of whether Angi participated in or otherwise facilitated the acquisition), (ii) other actions or failures to act by the Company or (iii) any of the representations or undertakings made by the Company in any of the documents relating to the opinion of counsel being incorrect or violated. Any such indemnity obligations could be material and the satisfaction of such indemnification obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not be able to engage in desirable capital-raising or strategic transactions following the Distribution.
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a distribution that otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment can be rendered taxable to the distributing corporation and its stockholders as a result of certain post-distribution transactions, including certain acquisitions of shares or assets of the corporation the stock of which is distributed. To preserve the tax-free treatment of the Distribution, the tax sharing agreement imposes certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries during the two-year period following the Distribution (including restrictions on share issuances and repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions). The tax sharing Agreement also prohibits the Company from taking or failing to take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Distribution from qualifying as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Code. These restrictions may limit the ability of the Company to pursue certain equity issuances, strategic transactions, repurchases or other transactions that it may otherwise believe to be in the best interests of its stockholders or that might increase the value of its business.
The Distribution may be abandoned by IAC at any time prior to completion, and is subject to certain closing conditions that, if not satisfied or waived, will result in the Distribution not being completed.
The IAC board of directors may abandon the Distribution at any time prior to completion. In addition, the completion of the Distribution is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of a number of conditions, including the final approval of the IAC board of directors. Some of the conditions to the completion of the Distribution are outside of the Company’s control. If any condition to the closing of the Distribution is not satisfied or waived, or if the IAC board of directors otherwise determines to abandon the Distribution, the Distribution will not be completed.
If IAC does not complete the Distribution, the market price of IAC or the Company’s securities may fluctuate to the extent that the current market prices of those securities reflect a market assumption that the Distribution will be completed. The Company will also be obligated to pay certain legal and accounting fees and related expenses in connection with the Distribution, whether or not the Distribution is completed. In addition, the Company has expended, and will continue to expend, management resources in an effort to complete the Distribution.
After the Distribution, actual or potential conflicts of interest may develop between the management and directors of IAC, on the one hand, and Company management and directors, on the other hand.
After the completion of the Distribution, the management and directors of IAC and the Company may own capital stock of both companies, and certain members of IAC senior management team may continue to serve as directors of the Company after the Distribution. For example, Mr. Levin, who is the current, and following the Distribution will be the former, Chief Executive Officer of IAC, will serve as Executive Chairman of Angi following the Distribution. This overlap could create (or appear to create) potential conflicts of interest when directors and executive officers affiliated with both companies face decisions that could have different implications for IAC and the Company. For example, potential conflicts of interest could arise in connection with the resolution of any dispute between IAC and the Company regarding the relationship between IAC and the Company following the Distribution, including any commercial agreements between the parties or their affiliates. Potential conflicts of interest could also arise if IAC and the Company enter into any commercial arrangements in the future.
IAC or the Company may fail to perform under the agreements between them and the Company may be unable to replace some of these agreements.
IAC and the Company are party to a number of agreements that either include obligations relating to the Distribution, will be amended in connection with the Distribution or will survive the completion of the Distribution in accordance with their terms. Each party will rely on the other to satisfy its performance obligations under these agreements. If either party is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, it could have a material adverse effect on the other party’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company may be required to enter into new agreements or assume the responsibility if and when certain of these agreements with IAC terminate. We cannot assure you that the economic terms of the new arrangements will be similar to those under our current arrangements with IAC. If we are unable to renew or replace such arrangements on a comparable basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In connection with the Distribution, IAC will indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we will indemnify IAC for certain liabilities, in each case, pursuant to existing agreements between IAC and us. If we are required to pay under these indemnities to IAC, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
Certain of the Contribution Agreements require each of IAC and the Company to indemnify the other for certain liabilities. Any amounts we are required to pay pursuant to these indemnification obligations and other liabilities could require us to divert cash that would otherwise have been used in furtherance of our operations. Further, the indemnity from IAC may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and IAC may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from IAC any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves. Each of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The synergies that IAC achieves with all of its businesses under the same corporate structure, and the benefits of those synergies that the Company enjoys, will cease to exist with regard to our businesses following the Distribution.
Currently, IAC’s businesses share certain economies of scale in costs, human capital, vendor relationships and customer relationships with our businesses. While we expect to enter into third party agreements with respect to these matters after the Distribution, those arrangements may not fully capture the benefits that our businesses currently enjoy as a result of IAC’s majority ownership. The loss of these benefits as a consequence of the Distribution could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
IAC will provide certain services to us pursuant to a services agreement following the Distribution. When such services terminate, we will be required to replace such services, and the economic terms of the new arrangements may be less favorable to us.
IAC and the Company are party to a services agreement. In connection with the Distribution, we and IAC anticipate that we will update the schedule of services under the existing services agreement to provide that following the Distribution, IAC will provide us, for a fee, specified support services related to corporate functions for various terms following the Distribution (not to exceed one year), such as information security, legal, finance, human resources, tax, treasury services and participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare, 401(k) and flexible benefits plans. As each of the foregoing services terminate, we will be required to enter into new agreements or assume the responsibility for these functions. We cannot assure you that the economic terms of the new arrangements will be similar to those under our current arrangements with IAC. If we are unable to renew or replace such arrangements on a comparable basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
The Distribution may result in litigation and/or regulatory inquiries and investigations, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could divert management attention.
In the past, securities class action litigation and/or shareholder derivative litigation and inquiries or investigations by regulatory authorities have often followed certain significant business transactions, such as the sale of a company or announcement of any other strategic transaction, such as the Distribution. Any litigation or investigation relating to the Distribution against us or IAC, whether or not resolved in either party’s favor, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the ultimate value of our Class A common stock.
Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock Following the Distribution
The value of the shares of Class A common stock that current holders of IAC capital stock receive in the Distribution might be less than the value of shares of Class A common stock prior to the Distribution.
If the Distribution is completed, holders of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock will receive shares of our Class A common stock. The prices at which shares of our Class A common stock may trade at post-Distribution are unpredictable. The market value of one share of our Class A common stock following the Distribution may be less than, equal to or greater than the market value of one share of our Class A common stock prior to the Distribution.
Additionally, the value of shares of our Class A commons stock may be negatively impacted by a number of factors after the completion of the Distribution. Some of these matters are described in these risk factors, and others may or may not have been identified by us prior to the completion of the Distribution, and many of them are not within our control.
The market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock may be volatile and may face negative pressure.
We cannot accurately predict how our investors will behave after the Distribution. The market price for our shares of Class A common stock following the Distribution may be more volatile than the market price of our Class A common stock before the Distribution. The market price of shares of our Class A common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including the risks identified in this annual report or reasons unrelated to our performance. Among the factors that could affect the stock price of our Class A common stock are:
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;
•changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or in our ability to meet those estimates;
•the operating and stock price performance of comparable companies;
•changes to the regulatory and legal environment under which we operate;
•changes in relationships with significant customers; and
•domestic and worldwide economic conditions.
These factors, among others, may result in short- or long-term negative pressure on the value of our Class A common stock.
Substantial sales of our Class A common stock following the Distribution, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.
Holders of IAC common stock or IAC Class B common stock may not wish to continue to hold the shares of our Class A common stock that they will receive as a result of the Distribution, which may lead to the disposition of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock following the Distribution. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient buying interest to offset any such sales, and, accordingly, the price of our Class A common stock may be depressed by those sales, or by the perception that such sales may occur, and have periods of volatility.
After the Distribution, our Class A common stock may not qualify for investment indices. In addition, our Class A common stock may fail to meet the investment guidelines of institutional investors. In either case, these factors may negatively impact the price of our Class A common stock and may impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities.
Some of the holders of IAC common stock are index funds tied to Nasdaq or other stock or investment indices, or are institutional investors bound by various investment guidelines. Companies are generally selected for investment indices, and in some cases selected by institutional investors, based on factors such as market capitalization, industry, trading liquidity and financial condition. Following the Distribution, our Class A common stock may not qualify for those investment indices. In addition, shares of our Class A common stock that are received in the Distribution may not meet the investment guidelines of some institutional investors. Consequently, these index funds and institutional investors may have to sell some or all of the shares of our Class A common stock they receive in the Distribution, and the price of shares of our Class A common stock may fall as a result. Any such decline could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of securities.
We do not expect to declare any regular cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our capital stock in the near term. Instead, we anticipate that our future earnings will be retained to support our operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made by our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including:
•our historical and projected financial condition, liquidity and results of operations;
•our capital levels and needs;
•tax considerations;
•any acquisitions or potential acquisitions that we may consider;
•statutory and regulatory prohibitions and other limitations;
•the terms of any credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements that will restrict our ability to pay cash dividends;
•general economic conditions; and
•other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
In the absence of dividends, investors may need to rely on sales of their shares of our Class A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws or Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control, or changes in management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.
The DGCL and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws currently contain provisions, and will be amended in connection with the Distribution to include provisions, that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, or changes in management that stockholders may deem advantageous, and provisions which:
•provide that, from and after the completion of the Distribution until our 2032 meeting of stockholders, our board of directors will be divided into classes, which could have the effect of making the replacement of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult;
•provide that, as long as our board of directors is classified, members of our board of directors can be removed by stockholders only for cause;
•provide that holders of our Class A common stock will not have the right to act by written consent following the Distribution;
•provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors following the Distribution;
•provide that, after the Distribution, we will be subject to the Delaware statute governing business combinations with interested stockholders;
•authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock or authorized but unissued shares of Class B common stock and/or Class C common stock that our board of directors could issue to increase the number of outstanding shares and to discourage a takeover attempt;
•provide that our board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal the bylaws;
•provide that there will not be cumulative voting on the election of directors; and
•establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Class A common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for such shares.
Our bylaws designate specified courts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions or proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, a state court located in the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:
•any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company;
•any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or its stockholders, including a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty;
•any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws;
•any action asserting a claim related to or involving the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and
•any action asserting an “internal corporate claim,” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL.
The exclusive forum provisions do not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ organizational documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find the exclusive forum provisions in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable.
These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholder may find favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or employees, and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims and may increase the costs to bring such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find these exclusive forum provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above for each company, the applicable company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such disputes in other jurisdictions, which could have an adverse impact on the applicable company’s business and financial condition.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable research about us, the price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline.
The trading market for our Class A common stock is, and will continue to be, influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us and our business. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage, or fails to publish reports about the applicable company regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price and/or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if our operating results do not meet the expectations of the investor community, one or more of the analysts who cover us may change their recommendations, and the stock price could decline.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are (or may become) parties to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving property, personal injury, intellectual property, privacy, tax, labor and employment, competition, commercial disputes, consumer protection and other claims, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil or criminal penalties, or other adverse consequences. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is currently a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require the description of material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary, routine litigation incident to the registrant’s business) and advise that proceedings ordinarily need not be described if they primarily involve damages claims for amounts (exclusive of interest and costs) not exceeding 10% of the current assets of the registrant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In the judgment of Company management, none of the pending litigation matters which we are defending, including those described below, involves or is likely to involve amounts of that magnitude. The matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether they may be material to our financial position or operations based upon the standard set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Professional Class Action Litigation against HomeAdvisor
In July 2016, a putative class action, Airquip, Inc. et al. v. HomeAdvisor, Inc. et al., No. 1:16-cv-1849, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint, as amended in November 2016, alleged that HomeAdvisor engages in certain deceptive practices affecting the professionals who join its network, including charging them for substandard customer leads and failing to disclose certain charges. The complaint sought certification of a nationwide class consisting of all HomeAdvisor professionals since October 2012, asserted claims for fraud, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment and violation of the federal RICO statute and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and sought injunctive relief and damages in an unspecified amount.
In July 2018, plaintiffs’ counsel filed a separate putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, Costello et al. v. HomeAdvisor, Inc. et al., No. 1:18-cv-1802, on behalf of the nine professionals also proposed as new plaintiffs in the Airquip case, naming as defendants HomeAdvisor, the Company and IAC (as well as an unrelated company), and asserting 45 claims largely duplicative of those asserted in a proposed second amended complaint in the Airquip case. In November 2018, the judge presiding over the Airquip case issued an order consolidating the two cases to proceed before him under the caption In re HomeAdvisor, Inc. Litigation.
In September 2019, the court issued an order granting the plaintiffs’ renewed motion for leave to file a consolidated second amended complaint, naming as defendants, in addition to HomeAdvisor, the Company and IAC, CraftJack, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and two unrelated entities. In October and December 2019, the four defendants
affiliated with HomeAdvisor filed motions to dismiss certain claims in the amended complaint. In September 2020, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss.
In May 2022, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification; the defendants opposed the motion. On January 10, 2024, the court issued an order largely denying the motion; while the court certified certain classes seeking only injunctive relief based upon alleged misappropriation of professional’s intellectual property, the court declined to certify any of the proposed classes challenging lead quality and seeking monetary relief. On July 18, 2024, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for leave to appeal the district court’s partial denial of class certification. On August 20, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second motion for class certification, proposing somewhat narrower, state-based classes; the defendants opposed the motion, which remains pending.
On February 26, 2024, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on the plaintiffs’ claims alleging misappropriation of professional’s intellectual property. On September 13, 2024, the district court issued an order granting the defendants’ motion and dismissing the plaintiffs’ misappropriation claims.
The Company remains confident in its ability to prevail on the merits and will continue to defend vigorously against the allegations in this litigation.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Our Class A common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol “ANGI.” There is no established public trading market for our Class B common stock.
As of February 7, 2025, there were 22 holders of record of our Class A common stock. Because the substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are not able to estimate the total number of beneficial shareholders represented by these record holders. As of February 7, 2025, there was one holder of record and beneficial shareholder of our Class B common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
Management Overview
Angi Inc. (“Angi,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) connects quality home professionals with consumers across more than 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. There were approximately 168,000 Transacting Professionals (as defined below) during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, consumers turned to at least one of our businesses to find a professional for approximately 17 million projects during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has three operating segments: (i) Ads and Leads; (ii) Services; and (iii) International (consisting of businesses in Europe and Canada) and operates under multiple brands including Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Handy.
Ads and Leads provides professionals the capability to engage with potential customers, including quoting and invoicing services, and provides consumers with tools and resources to help them find local, pre-screened and customer-rated professionals nationwide for home repair, maintenance and improvement projects. Services consumers can request household services directly through the Angi platform, and such requests are fulfilled by independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. Matching service, the booking of pre-priced services, and related tools and directories are provided to consumers free of charge upon registration.
The Company also owns and operates international businesses that connect consumers with home professionals. The business models of our international businesses differ in certain respects from the business models of our various domestic businesses.
The Company primarily markets its services to consumers through search engine marketing, affiliate agreements with third parties, and television advertising. The Company also markets its services to consumers through email, digital display advertisements, partnerships with other contextually related websites and, to a lesser extent, through relationships with certain
retailers, direct mail and radio advertising. The Company markets subscription packages and time-based advertising to professionals primarily through its sales force, as well as through search engine marketing, digital media advertising, and direct relationships with trade associations and manufacturers.
Proposed Spin-off
On January 13, 2025, IAC announced that its board of directors approved a plan to spin off its full stake in the Company to IAC stockholders. IAC intends to effect the spin-off through a dividend to the holders of its common stock and Class B common stock of all of the common stock of the Company owned by IAC (the “Distribution”). Prior to the effective time of the Distribution, IAC intends to voluntarily convert all of the shares of our Class B common stock that it owns to shares of Class A common stock. The completion of the Distribution remains subject to customary conditions and to the final approval of IAC's board of directors and may not be completed, on the anticipated terms or at all. IAC expects to complete the Distribution as soon as March 31, 2025.
Total Home Roofing, LLC Sale
On November 1, 2023, Angi completed the sale of 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Total Home Roofing, LLC (“THR,” which comprised its former Roofing segment), which is reflected as a discontinued operation in its financial statements. For additional details, see “Note 17-Discontinued Operations” to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Defined Terms and Operating Metrics:
Unless otherwise indicated or as the context otherwise requires, certain terms used in this annual report, which include the principal operating metrics we use in managing our business, are defined below:
•Ads and Leads Revenue primarily comprises domestic revenue from consumer connection revenue for consumer matches, revenue from professionals under contract for advertising and membership subscription revenue from professionals and consumers.
•Services Revenue primarily comprises domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through a Company platform and the Company connects them with a professional to perform the service.
•International Revenue primarily comprises revenue generated within the International segment (consisting of businesses in Europe and Canada), including consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from professionals.
•Other primarily comprises costs for corporate initiatives, shared costs (such as executive and public company costs) and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments.
•Service Requests are (i) fully completed and submitted domestic service requests for connections with Ads and Leads professionals, (ii) contacts to Ads and Leads professionals generated via the professional directory from unique users in unique categories (such that multiple contacts from the same user in the same category in the same day are counted as one Service Request) and (iii) requests to book Services jobs in the period.
•Monetized Transactions are (i) Service Requests that are matched to a paying Ads and Leads professional in the period and (ii) completed and in-process Services jobs in the period; a single Service Request can result in multiple monetized transactions.
•Transacting Professionals (“Transacting Pros” formerly known as Transacting Service Professionals or “Transacting SPs”) are the number of (i) Ads and Leads professionals that paid for consumer matches or advertising and (ii) Services professionals that performed a Services job, during the most recent quarter.
•ANGI Group Senior Notes - On August 20, 2020, ANGI Group, LLC (“ANGI Group”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $500.0 million of its 3.875% Senior Notes due August 15, 2028, with interest payable February 15 and August 15 of each year.
Components of Results of Operations
Sources of Revenue
Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the professional ultimately provides the requested service), revenue from professionals under contract for advertising, membership subscription revenue from professionals and consumers, and revenue from other services. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors, including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Services revenue primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through the Company’s platform and the Company engages a professional to perform the service. International revenue primarily comprises consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from professionals.
From January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, we modified the Services terms and conditions so that the professional, rather than Angi, has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the professional. This change in contractual terms requires revenue to be reported as the net amount of what is received from the consumer after deducting the amounts owed to the professional providing the service effective for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2022. There is no impact to operating loss or Adjusted EBITDA from this change in revenue recognition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, if Services revenue was recorded on a net basis, revenue would have been reduced by $242.6 million.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue, which excludes depreciation, consists primarily of (i) credit card processing fees, (ii) hosting fees, and (iii) payments made to independent third-party professionals who perform work contracted under Services arrangements that were entered into prior to January 1, 2023 and the change to net revenue reporting described above.
Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue.
Operating Costs and Expenses:
•Selling and marketing expense - consists primarily of (i) advertising expenditures, which include marketing fees to promote the brand to consumers and professionals with (a) online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and other online marketing platforms, partners who direct traffic to our brands, and app platforms, and (b) offline marketing, which is primarily television, streaming, and radio advertising, (ii) compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs for our sales and marketing personnel, (iii) service guarantee expense, (iv) software license and maintenance costs, and (v) outsourced personnel costs.
•General and administrative expense - consists primarily of (i) compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax, human resources and customer service functions, (ii) provision for credit losses, (iii) software license and maintenance costs, (iv) outsourced personnel costs for personnel engaged in assisting in customer service functions, (v) fees for professional services, and (vi) rent expense and facilities costs (including impairments of right-of-use assets). Our customer service function includes personnel who provide support to our professionals and consumers.
•Product development expense - consists primarily of (i) compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology, (ii) software license and maintenance costs, and (iii) outsourced personnel costs for personnel engaged in product development.
Non-GAAP financial measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Principles of Financial Reporting” for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and required non-GAAP reconciliations.

Transacting Pros 168 196 (28) (14)%
Ads and Leads revenue decreased $162.3 million, or 14%, due primarily to decreases in consumer connection revenue of $174.5 million, or 22%, and membership subscription revenue of $9.2 million, or 18%, partially offset by an increase of $21.5 million, or 7%, in advertising revenue. The decrease in consumer connection revenue was driven by ongoing user-experience enhancements as well as lower sales and marketing spend, resulting in both lower Service Requests and lower acquisition of new professionals. The decrease in membership subscription revenue was primarily due to a decrease in professionals in the Angi network. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily due to an increase in advertising sold through our sales force.
Services revenue decreased $24.5 million, or 21%, due primarily to fewer Service Requests as a result of certain efforts described in Ads and Leads above. In addition, the decrease in revenue reflects the residual impact from contracts entered into prior to January 1, 2023 and recognized as gross revenue in the first quarter of 2023. Effective January 1, 2023, we modified the Services terms and conditions resulting in net revenue reporting.
International revenue increased $13.2 million, or 11%, due primarily to a larger professional network and higher revenue per professional.

Ads and Leads cost of revenue increased $3.3 million, or 9%, and increased as a percentage of revenue, due primarily to higher hosting fees of $6.2 million attributable, in part, to the migration of data to a third-party computing platform, partially offset by lower credit card processing fees of $2.9 million attributable to lower revenue.

Ads and Leads selling and marketing expense decreased $169.0 million, or 25%, driven by decreases of $129.9 million in advertising expense and compensation expense of $34.1 million. The decrease in advertising expense was due primarily to improved marketing efficiencies, including optimizations to matching and online bidding that resulted in fewer Service Requests but increased Monetized Transactions per Service Request and a decrease in offline media spend. The decrease in compensation expense was due primarily to a reduction in headcount.
International selling and marketing expense increased $2.8 million, or 8%, driven by an increase of $3.3 million in advertising expense due to an increase in online advertising to acquire new professionals and increase Service Requests.

As a percentage of revenue 27% 26%
Ads and Leads general and administrative expense decreased $31.7 million, or 15%, due primarily to decreases of $22.9 million in the provision for credit losses, $7.5 million in software license and maintenance costs, and $3.8 million in third-party wages, partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in lease expense. The decrease in the provision for credit losses is primarily due to lower revenue and improved collection rates. The decrease in software license and maintenance costs and third-party wages are due primarily to reduced costs related to customer support services. The increase in lease expense is primarily due to impairment charges of $6.8 million of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) in the first half of 2024, partially offset by a gain on lease termination of $2.0 million in the second half of 2024, both related to the Company reducing its real estate footprint.
Services general and administrative expense decreased $13.2 million, or 30%, due primarily to decreases of $9.2 million in compensation expense and $3.3 million in third-party wages. The decrease in compensation expense is due primarily to a reduction in headcount. The decrease in third-party wages is due primarily to reduced costs related to customer support services.
International general and administrative expense increased $3.0 million, or 8%, due primarily to increases of $3.0 million in the provision for credit losses, $1.8 million in taxes, and $1.6 million in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in compensation expense. The increase in the provision for credit losses is due primarily to reduced collection rates and higher revenue, the increase in taxes is due primarily to digital services tax, and the increase in professional fees is due primarily to an increase in consulting costs. The decrease in compensation expense is due primarily to a reduction in headcount.

In 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit, despite pre-tax income, due primarily to the valuation allowance
release for foreign net operating losses and research credits, partially offset by tax shortfalls generated by the vesting and exercise of stock-based awards, unbenefited foreign losses, and nondeductible executive compensation expense. Following the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interests of a foreign subsidiary, we reorganized the related business operations, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance for foreign net operating losses in the amount of $31.1 million as a discrete item in the third quarter because we are now forecasting the utilization of these net operating losses within the foreseeable future.
In 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision, despite pre-tax losses, due primarily to tax shortfalls generated by the vesting and exercise of stock-based awards, nondeductible executive compensation expense, and unbenefited foreign losses, partially offset by research credits.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
We report Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is considered our primary segment measure of profitability and one of the metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, and on which our internal budgets are based and may also impact management compensation. 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 endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by 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. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded from Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with grants, including stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options, performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) and market-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. PSUs and market-based awards are included only to the extent the applicable performance or market condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). The Company is currently settling all stock-based awards on a net basis and remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.
Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as professional relationships, technology, and trade names, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. Value is also assigned to acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, and goodwill that are not subject to amortization. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

Cash Flow Information
In summary, the Company’s cash flows are as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023
(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities attributable to continuing operations $ 155,941 $ 94,184
Investing activities attributable to continuing operations $ (50,411) $ (46,557)
Financing activities attributable to continuing operations $ (53,759) $ (16,983)
Net cash provided by operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of earnings adjusted for non-cash items and the effect of changes in working capital. Non-cash adjustments include depreciation, provision for credit losses, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash lease expense (including impairment of right-of-use assets), deferred income taxes, and amortization and impairment of intangibles.
Adjustments to net earnings attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of $86.1 million of depreciation, $57.3 million of provision for credit losses, $34.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $16.0 million of non-cash lease expense (including impairment of right-of-use assets), partially offset by $24.0 million of deferred income taxes. The decrease from changes in working capital consists primarily of an increase of $45.4 million in accounts receivable and decreases of $19.4 million in operating lease liabilities and $7.7 million in deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $28.9 million in other assets. The increase in accounts receivable is due to timing of cash receipts. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The decrease in deferred revenue is due primarily to lower annual memberships, primarily at Ads and Leads. The decrease in other assets is due primarily to lower capitalized sales commissions which were impacted by a reduction in the size of the salesforce, a larger portion of sales commissions being expensed rather than capitalized in the period, and a shift to annual bonuses for roles that previously received commissions as well as a payment received related to insurance coverage for previously incurred legal fees and a decrease in prepaid hosting services.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes capital expenditures of $50.5 million primarily related to investments in capitalized software to support the Company’s products and services.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $28.6 million for the repurchase of 12.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $2.27 per share,
$16.0 million for the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interests of a foreign subsidiary, and $7.6 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled.
Adjustments to net loss attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of $93.6 million of depreciation, $79.4 million of provision for credit losses, $43.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $11.9 million of non-cash lease expense, and $8.0 million of amortization of intangibles, partially offset by $10.0 million of deferred income taxes. The decrease from changes in working capital consists primarily of an increase of $58.2 million in accounts receivable, a decrease of $20.7 million in operating lease liabilities, an increase of $13.9 million of other assets, and a decrease of $8.0 million in accounts payable and other liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to timing of cash receipts. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The increase in other assets is due primarily to a $10.9 million receivable related to insurance coverage for previously incurred legal fees. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due to a decrease in accrued advertising.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes capital expenditures of $47.8 million primarily related to investments in capitalized software to support the Company’s products and services and purchases of marketable debt securities of $12.4 million, partially offset by maturities of marketable debt securities of $12.5 million and $1.0 million of proceeds for the sale of THR.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $10.9 million for the repurchase of 4.4 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $2.50 per share and $6.0 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled.
Discontinued Operations
Net cash provided by discontinued operations of $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, relates to the operations of THR. The Company does not expect cash flows from discontinued operations following the sale of THR on November 1, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Share Repurchase Authorizations and Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 12.5 million shares of its Class A common stock, on a trade date basis, at an average price of $2.27 per share, or $28.4 million in aggregate. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company announced its intent to repurchase the 14.0 million shares remaining in its stock repurchase authorization from March 2020 (the “2020 Share Authorization”). On August 2, 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved a new stock repurchase authorization of 25 million shares (the “2024 Share Authorization”). As of August 19, 2024, the Company had no shares remaining under the 2020 Authorization. From January 1, 2025 through February 7, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any additional shares. As of February 7, 2025, the Company had 23.1 million shares remaining in the 2024 Share Authorization.
The Company may repurchase shares pursuant to the 2024 Share Authorization over an indefinite period of time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors the Company’s management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.
Contractual Obligations
The Company enters into various contractual arrangements as a part of its continued operations. Material contractual obligations described in the accompanying notes to the financial statements within “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” includes operating leases as described in “Note 5-Leases,” and principal and interest payments on long-term as debt described in “Note 6-Long-term Debt.”
The Company has material purchase obligations which represent legally binding agreements to purchase goods and services that specify all significant terms. Future payments under these agreements at December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Capital Expenditures
The Company’s 2025 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2024 capital expenditures of $50.5 million by approximately 15% to 25% due to an increase related to capitalized software.
Liquidity Assessment
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services due to economic or other factors.
At December 31, 2024, IAC held 2.6 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A shares and all of the Company’s outstanding Class B shares, which represented 85.3% of the Company’s economic interest and 98.3% of the Company’s voting interest as of that date. As a result, IAC has the ability to control the Company’s financing activities, including the issuance of additional debt and equity securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the incurrence of other indebtedness generally. While the Company is expected to have the ability to access debt and equity markets if needed, such transactions may require the approval of IAC due to its control of the majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company’s capital stock and its representation on the Company’s board of directors.
On January 13, 2025, IAC and Joseph Levin, IAC’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into an Employment Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, IAC transferred 5.0 million shares of Angi Class B common stock held by IAC to Mr. Levin. Also pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Levin converted all shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock. As of February 7, 2025, IAC’s economic and voting interests in the Company were 84.2% and 98.1%, respectively.
The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, and expected positive cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards, and investing and other commitments, for the next twelve months. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing to fund business activities such as strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, or other purposes beyond the next twelve months.
Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions in the financial markets. In addition, the Company’s existing indebtedness could limit its ability to obtain additional financing.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The following disclosure is provided to supplement the descriptions of the Company’s accounting policies contained in “Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in regard to significant areas of judgment. Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they relate, some of our accounting policies and estimates have a more significant impact on our financial statements than others. What follows is a discussion of some of our more significant accounting policies and estimates.
Credit Losses
The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides an allowance when it has determined that all or a portion of the receivable will not be collected. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that will not be collected. The allowance for credit losses is based upon a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the specific customer’s ability to pay its obligation to the Company and any other forward-looking data regarding customers’ ability to pay that is available. The duration of time between the Company’s issuance of an invoice and payment due date is not significant. The carrying value of the credit loss allowance is $20.5 million and $24.7 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $57.3 million and $79.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The carrying value of goodwill is $883.4 million and $886.0 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of the Company’s acquired trade names and trademarks, have a carrying value of $167.7 million and $170.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset has declined below its carrying value. In performing its annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has the option under GAAP to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value; if the conclusion of the qualitative assessment is that there are no indicators of impairment, the Company does not perform a quantitative test, which would require a valuation of the reporting unit, as of October 1. GAAP provides a not all-inclusive set of examples of macroeconomic, industry, market and company specific factors for entities to consider in performing the qualitative assessment described above; management considers the factors it deems relevant in making its more likely than not assessments. While the Company also has the option under GAAP to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying values, the Company’s policy is to determine the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1, in part, because the level of effort required to perform the quantitative and qualitative assessments is essentially equivalent.
If the conclusion of our qualitative assessment is that there are indicators of impairment and a quantitative test is required, the annual or interim quantitative test of the recovery of goodwill involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit that is being tested to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment equal to the excess is recorded.
The Company’s annual assessment of the recovery of goodwill begins with management’s reassessment of its operating segments and reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, which is referred to as a component. This reassessment of reporting units is also made each time the Company changes its operating segments to the extent that this also results in a change in reporting units. If the goodwill of a reporting unit is allocated to newly formed reporting units, the allocation is usually made to each reporting unit based upon their relative fair values.
For the Company’s annual goodwill test as of October 1, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of the International reporting unit to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of this reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value.
The primary factors that the Company considered in its qualitative assessment for the International reporting unit at October 1, 2024 are described below:
•The Company considered the strong forecasted operating performance, in addition to actual operating results in the current year, of the International reporting unit.
•The Company prepared a valuation of the International reporting unit primarily in connection with the issuance and/or settlement of equity awards that are denominated in the equity of this business as of June 30, 2024. This valuation was prepared time proximate to, however, not as of October 1, 2024. The fair value of the International reporting unit was in excess of its October 1, 2024 carrying value.
For the Company’s annual goodwill test at October 1, 2024, the Company quantitatively tested the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units. The Company’s quantitative tests resulted in no impairments.
Given the decline in the Company’s stock price after October 1, 2024, the Company subsequently quantitatively tested all reporting units with goodwill as of December 31, 2024, and no impairments were noted.
The October 1, 2023 annual assessment of goodwill did not identify any impairments.
The fair value of the Company's reporting units is determined using both an income approach based on discounted cash flows (“DCF”) and a market approach when it tests goodwill for impairment, either on an interim basis or annual basis as of October 1 each year. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses are based on the Company’s most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting units. Assumptions used in the DCF analyses, including the discount rate, are assessed based on the reporting units' current results and forecasted future performance, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the quantitative tests as of December 31, 2024 for determining the fair value of the Company’s Ads and Leads, Services, and International reporting units were 13%, 14%, and 15%, respectively. The discount rates used in the quantitative tests as of October 1, 2024 for determining the fair value of the Company’s Ads and Leads and Services reporting units were 12.5% and 13.5%, respectively. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. To determine a peer group of companies for our respective reporting units, we considered companies relevant in terms of consumer use, monetization model, margin and growth characteristics, and brand strength operating in their respective sectors.
As a result of the valuation process, we determined that the fair value of the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units exceeded the carrying value and thus there was no impairment of goodwill in 2024. The fair value based on the valuation exceeded the carrying value of the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units by $494.5 million and $20.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
The Company determines the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using an avoided royalty DCF valuation analysis. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses are based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company’s trade names and trademarks. The future cash flows are based on the Company's most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. Assumptions used in the avoided royalty DCF analyses, including the discount rate and royalty rate, are assessed annually based on the actual and projected cash flows related to the asset, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company’s annual indefinite-lived impairment assessment ranged from 12.5% to 14.5% in 2024 and 15% to 17% in 2023, and the royalty rates used ranged from 2.5% to 4.5% in both 2024 and 2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified an impairment charge of $2.6 million related to a certain indefinite-lived trade name at Services. The discount rate used to value this trade name was 14.0%, and the royalty rate was 2.5%. The impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is included in “Amortization of intangibles” in the statement of operations.
The October 1, 2023 annual assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets did not identify any impairments.
Software Development Costs
We capitalize internally developed software costs (including employee payroll costs, stock-based compensation and benefit costs as well as third party production costs) subsequent to identifying technological feasibility of the software project. Significant management judgement is required in assessing when technological feasibility is established.
Depreciation of internally developed software commences when the software is available for release for its intended use and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is typically 2-3 years. The net carrying value of capitalized software is $73.1 million and $92.3 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company is included within IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings. In all periods presented, the income tax benefit and/or provision has been computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from IAC for the Company’s share of IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The tax sharing agreement between the Company and IAC governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters, including responsibility for taxes attributable to the Company, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes and other matters and, therefore, ultimately governs the amount payable to or receivable from IAC with respect to income taxes. Any differences between taxes currently payable to or receivable from IAC under the tax sharing agreement and the current tax provision or benefit computed on an as if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital in the statement of shareholders’ equity and financing activities within the statement of cash flows. The portion of the December 31, 2024 deferred tax assets that will be payable to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, upon realization, is $87.3 million.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the Company’s net deferred tax asset is $167.6 million and $145.4 million, respectively.
The Company evaluates and accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. Recognition (step one) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustainable upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when the Company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. This measurement step is inherently difficult and requires subjective estimations of such amounts to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, of $9.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and unrecognized tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustment and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Although management currently believes changes to unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
The ultimate amount of deferred income tax assets realized and the amounts paid for deferred income tax liabilities and unrecognized tax benefits may vary from our estimates due to future changes in income tax law, state income tax apportionment or the outcome of any review of our tax returns by the various tax authorities, as well as actual operating results of the Company that vary significantly from anticipated results.
The Company regularly assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets considering all available evidence including, to the extent applicable, the nature, frequency and severity of prior cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, tax filing status, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, available tax planning and historical experience. As of December 31, 2024, the Company is in a three-year cumulative loss position. The Company’s most significant net deferred tax asset that could expire relates to U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $72.6 million. The Company expects to generate sufficient future taxable income of at least $345.9 million prior to the expiration of these NOLs, the majority of which expire between 2035 and 2037, to fully realize this deferred tax asset.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation at the Company is inherently complex. Our desire is to attract, retain, incentivize and reward our management team and employees at the Company by allowing them to benefit directly from the value they help to create. We accomplish these objectives, in part, by issuing equity awards denominated in the equity of Angi or in the equity of one of our subsidiaries. We further refine this approach by tailoring certain equity awards to the applicable circumstances. For example, we issue certain equity awards for which vesting is linked to the achievement of a performance target such as revenue or profits; these awards are referred to as PSUs. In other cases, we link the vesting of equity awards to the achievement of a value target for a subsidiary or Angi’s stock price, as applicable; these awards are referred to as market-based awards (“MSUs”). The nature
and variety of these types of equity-based awards creates complexity in our determination of stock-based compensation expense.
Business combinations may result in the modification of equity awards, which may create additional complexity and additional stock-based compensation expense. Also, our internal reorganizations can also lead to modifications of equity awards and may result in additional complexity and stock-based compensation expense.
Finally, the means by which we settle our equity-based awards also introduces complexity into our financial reporting. We provide a path to liquidity by settling the subsidiary denominated awards in IAC or Angi shares. In addition, certain former Angi stock appreciation rights can be settled in IAC or Angi awards at IAC’s election. These features increase the complexity of our earnings per share calculations.
Stock-based compensation expense reflected in our statements of operations includes expense related to the Company’s RSU awards, including MSUs and PSUs, stock options, stock appreciation rights, equity instruments denominated in shares of one of our subsidiaries, and an allocation of expense related to IAC denominated restricted stock.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $34.8 million and $43.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company issues RSUs, PSUs and MSUs. For RSUs, the value of the instrument is measured at the grant date as the fair value of the underlying Angi’s common stock and expensed as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term. For PSUs, the value of the instrument is measured at the grant date as the fair value of the underlying Angi’s common stock and expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term when the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved. For MSUs, a lattice model is used to estimate the value of the awards. The Company also issues stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Company estimates the fair value of newly granted or modified stock appreciation rights and stock options, including equity instruments denominated in shares of one of our subsidiaries, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, the most significant of which include expected term, expected volatility of the underlying shares, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield. In addition, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense is impacted by our estimated forfeiture rates, which are based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates. For stock appreciation rights and stock options, including equity instruments denominated in shares of one of our subsidiaries, the grant date fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the award.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt.
At December 31, 2024, the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding debt comprises $500.0 million of ANGI Group Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate. If market rates decline relative to interest rates on the ANGI Group Senior Notes, the Company runs the risk that the related required interest payments will exceed those based on market rates. 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 $16.1 million. Such potential increase or decrease in fair value is based on certain simplifying assumptions, including an immediate increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period, nor changes in the credit profile.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company has operations in certain foreign markets, primarily in various jurisdictions within the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The Company has exposure to foreign currency exchange risk related to its foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, as foreign currency exchange rates
fluctuate, the translation of the statement of operations of the Company’s international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results.
In addition, certain of the Company’s U.S. operations have customers in international markets. International revenue, including revenue of our operations located outside the U.S., which is measured based upon where the customer is located, accounted for 11% and 9% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency transaction gains and losses to the extent it or its subsidiaries conduct transactions in and/or have assets and/or liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency. The Company recorded foreign exchange (losses) and gains of $(0.7) million and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange gains or losses have not been material to the Company; therefore, the Company has not hedged its foreign currency exposures. Any growth and expansion of our international operations increases our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Significant foreign exchange rate fluctuations, in the case of one currency or collectively with other currencies, could have a significant impact on our future results of operations.

Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Angi Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Angi Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 28, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Processed by Highly Automated Proprietary Systems - Consumer Connection Revenue
Description of
the Matter As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenue primarily consists of domestic Ads and Leads revenue. Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by service professionals for consumer matches. Domestic consumer connection revenue was $606.6 million, as disclosed in Note 9, for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents 51% of consolidated revenue for the year. The Company’s domestic consumer connection revenue is based on contractual terms with the Company’s customers and is comprised of a significant volume of low-dollar transactions. The processing and recording of domestic consumer connection revenue is highly automated within the Company’s information technology (“IT”) systems that are principally proprietary.
Given the complexity of the IT systems involved, auditing domestic consumer connection revenue required a significant extent of effort and increased involvement of professionals with expertise in IT to identify, test, and evaluate the Company’s relevant systems and automated controls utilized to process and record these transactions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls related to the recording and accounting for domestic consumer connection revenue. With the involvement of IT professionals, we identified the relevant systems used by the Company to process, calculate, and record revenue. Where applicable, we tested the IT general controls over those systems, including testing of user access controls, change management controls, and IT operations controls as well as certain automated application controls related to the recording of revenue at period end. We also tested the Company’s controls to address the completeness and accuracy of transaction data.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s domestic consumer connection revenue also included reconciling revenue recorded to cash received, testing the details for a sample of specific cash receipts to third party banking information and evidence of the related customer arrangement, testing the calculations of revenue performed within the Company’s systems to the amount recorded in the general ledger, and reviewing revenue trends occurring near year-end.
Valuation of Goodwill
Description of
the Matter As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s goodwill was $883.4 million. As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is assessed annually for impairment using either a qualitative or quantitative approach as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined below its carrying value.
Auditing management’s quantitative impairment tests for goodwill was challenging given the inherent judgments and estimates involved in estimating the fair value of the reporting units. Specifically, the fair value estimates of the Company’s Angi Ads and Leads and Angi Services reporting units were sensitive to assumptions such as the discount rate, revenue growth rates and future cash flows, which are affected by factors such as expected future industry or economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over its goodwill impairment review process. For example, we tested the controls over the Company’s review of the significant assumptions in estimating the fair value of the reporting units.
To test the estimated fair values of the Angi Ads and Leads and Angi Services reporting units, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the methodologies used to develop the estimated fair values and testing the significant assumptions and underlying data used by the Company. We evaluated the Company’s underlying forecast and budget information by comparing the significant assumptions to historical results, forecasted information included in analyst reports and the Company's guideline companies in the same industry and current economic trends. We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the estimated fair values of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions. In addition, we involved internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the methodologies and significant assumptions applied in developing the fair value estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION
Nature of Operations
Angi Inc. connects quality home professionals with consumers across more than 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. Approximately 168,000 transacting professionals actively sought consumer matches, completed jobs, or advertised work through Angi Inc. platforms during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, consumers turned to at least one of our businesses to find a professional for approximately 17 million projects during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company has three operating segments: (i) Ads and Leads; (ii) Services; and (iii) International (consisting of businesses in Europe and Canada) and operates under multiple brands including Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Handy.
Ads and Leads provides professionals the capability to engage with potential customers, including quoting and invoicing services, and provides consumers with tools and resources to help them find local, pre-screened and customer-rated professionals nationwide for home repair, maintenance and improvement projects. Services consumers can request household services directly through the Angi platform, and such requests are fulfilled by independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. Matching service, booking of pre-priced services, and related tools and directories are provided to consumers free of charge upon registration.
As used herein, “Angi,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to Angi Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
At December 31, 2024, IAC Inc. (“IAC”) owned 85.3% and 98.3% of the economic and voting interests, respectively, of the Company.
Total Home Roofing, LLC Sale
On November 1, 2023, Angi completed the sale of 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Total Home Roofing, LLC (“THR,” which comprised its former Roofing segment), and which is reflected as a discontinued operation in its financial statements. See “Note 17-Discontinued Operations” for additional details.
NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (referred to herein as “financial statements”) in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements include all accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between entities comprising the Company have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the assumptions underlying the historical financial statements, including the basis on which the expenses have been allocated from IAC, are reasonable. However, the allocations may not reflect all of the expenses that Angi may have incurred as a standalone public company for the periods presented.
See “Note 16-Related Party Transactions with IAC” and “Note 18-Subsequent Events” for information on transactions between Angi and IAC.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the liability for potential refunds and customer credits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets, and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all authorized parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in “Note 9-Segment Information.”
Ads and Leads
Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the professional ultimately provides the requested service), revenue from professionals under contract for advertising, membership subscription revenue from professionals and consumers, and revenue from other services. Consumer connection revenue varies based upon several factors, including the service requested, product experience offered, and geographic location of service. Consumer connection revenue is generally billed one week following a consumer match, with payment due upon receipt of invoice. The Company maintains a liability for potential credits issued to professionals. Angi professionals generally pay for advertisements in advance on a monthly or annual basis at the option of the professional, with the average advertising contract term being approximately one year. Angi website, mobile and call center advertising revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Revenue from the sale of advertising in the Angie’s List Magazine is recognized in the period in which the publication is distributed. Professional membership subscription revenue is initially deferred upon receipt of payment and is recognized using the straight-line method over the applicable subscription period, which is typically one year. Angi prepaid consumer membership subscription fees are recognized as revenue using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period, which is typically one year.
Services
Services revenue primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through the Company’s platform and the Company engages a professional to perform the service. Consumers are billed when a job is started through the Services platform. Billing practices are governed by the contract terms of each project as negotiated with the consumer. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized over time as this is based on the timing of when the consumer receives the promised services.
From January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, Services recorded revenue on a gross basis. Effective January 1, 2023, Angi modified the Services terms and conditions so that the professional, rather than Angi, has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the professional. This change in contractual terms requires revenue to be reported as the net amount of what is received from the consumer after deducting the amounts owed to the professional providing the service effective for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2022. There is no impact to operating loss or Adjusted EBITDA from this change in revenue recognition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, if Services revenue were recorded on a net basis, revenue would have been reduced by $242.6 million.
International
International revenue primarily comprises consumer connection revenue for matches between consumers and professionals and membership subscription revenue from professionals.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Transaction Price
The objective of determining the transaction price is to estimate the amount of consideration the Company is due in exchange for its services or goods, including amounts that are variable. Contracts may include sales incentives, such as rebates, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the transaction price. The Company also maintains a liability for potential future refunds and customer credits, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue. All estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and customer trends. The Company determines the total transaction price, including an estimate of any variable consideration, at contract inception and reassesses this estimate each reporting period.
The Company excludes from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers. Accordingly, such tax amounts are not included as a component of revenue or cost of revenue.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable or an estimate if not directly observable.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money.
In addition, as permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
The Company also applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less as noted below.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The Company has determined that commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract. Capitalized sales commissions are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period and are included in “Selling and marketing expense” in the statement of operations. The Company calculates the anticipated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. For sales incentive programs where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred.
Beginning October 1, 2022, commissions earned on certain transactions within the Ads and Leads segment were expensed as incurred after determining the related customer relationship was less than one year.
The following table presents the capitalized sales commissions balances and balance sheet classification at the balance sheet dates:
Classification December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
(In thousands)
Other current assets $ 24,874 $ 34,927
Other non-current assets $ 2,093 $ 3,528
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense of $52.4 million and $61.4 million, respectively, related to the amortization of these capitalized costs.
Accounts Receivable, Net of the Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The allowance for credit losses is based upon a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the specific customer’s ability to pay its obligation and any other forward-looking data regarding customers’ ability to pay that is available. The time between the Company’s issuance of an invoice and payment due date is not significant; customer payments that are not collected in advance of the transfer of promised services or goods are generally due no later than 30 days from the invoice date.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company’s performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the remaining term or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. At December 31, 2023, the current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $49.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $45.4 million that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2022, the current and non-current deferred revenue balances were $50.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $48.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2024 are $42.0 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the balance sheet.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”), capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. Refer to “Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets” and “Long-Lived Assets” below for a description of impairment charges.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments, with maturities of less than 91 days from the date of purchase. Domestically, cash equivalents consist of AAA rated government money market funds, treasury bills, and time deposits. Internationally, there are $0.6 million in cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and no cash equivalents at December 31, 2023.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Investments in Marketable Debt Securities
At times, the Company invests in marketable debt securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. Marketable debt securities are adjusted to fair value each quarter, and the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of debt securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings. The Company reviews its debt securities for impairment, including from risk of credit loss, each reporting period. The Company recognizes an unrealized loss on debt securities in net earnings (loss) when the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors the Company considers in making such determination include the duration, severity and reason for the decline in value and the potential recovery and our intent to sell the debt security. The Company also considers whether it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and whether the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered because of credit losses. If an impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the debt security will be written down to its fair value and the loss will be recognized within other income, net. The Company held zero marketable debt securities at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Capitalized Software, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment
Capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost or at fair value to the extent acquired in a business combination. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization of leasehold improvements, which is included in “Depreciation” in the statement of operations, and depreciation are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.
Asset Category Estimated
Useful Lives
Capitalized software and computer equipment 2 to 3 Years
Furniture and other equipment 5 to 7 Years
Leasehold improvements 5 to 25 Years
The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the software and compensation for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The net book value of capitalized internal use software was $73.1 million and $92.3 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Business Combinations
The purchase price of an acquisition is attributed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets that either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company usually obtains the assistance of outside valuation experts in the allocation of purchase price to the identifiable intangible assets acquired. While outside valuation experts may be used, management has the ultimate responsibility for the valuation methods, models and inputs used and the resulting purchase price allocation. The excess purchase price over the value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and is assigned to the reporting unit(s) that is expected to benefit from the business combination as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s Ads and Leads, Services and International are separate operating segments and reporting units. See “Note 9-Segment Information” for additional information regarding the Company’s method of determining operating and reportable segments.
The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset has declined below its carrying value.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
When the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit’s goodwill is necessary; otherwise, a quantitative assessment is performed and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment equal to the excess is recorded.
For the Company’s annual goodwill test as of October 1, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of the International reporting unit to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of this reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value.
The primary factors that the Company considered in its qualitative assessment for the International reporting unit at October 1, 2024 are described below:
•The Company considered the strong forecasted operating performance, in addition to actual operating results in the current year, of the International reporting unit.
•The Company prepared a valuation of the International reporting unit primarily in connection with the issuance and/or settlement of equity awards that are denominated in the equity of this business as of June 30, 2024. This valuation was prepared time proximate to, however, not as of October 1, 2024. The fair value of the International reporting unit was in excess of its October 1, 2024 carrying value.
For the Company’s annual goodwill test at October 1, 2024, the Company quantitatively tested the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units. The Company’s quantitative tests resulted in no impairments.
Given the decline in the Company’s stock price after October 1, 2024, the Company subsequently quantitatively tested all reporting units with goodwill as of December 31, 2024, and no impairments were noted.
The October 1, 2023 annual assessment of goodwill did not identify any impairments.
The fair value of the Company's reporting units is determined using both an income approach based on discounted cash flows (“DCF”) and a market approach when it tests goodwill for impairment, either on an interim basis or annual basis as of October 1 each year. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses are based on the Company’s most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting units. Assumptions used in the DCF analyses, including the discount rate, are assessed based on the reporting units' current results and forecasted future performance, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the quantitative tests as of December 31, 2024 for determining the fair value of the Company’s Ads and Leads, Services, and International reporting units were 13%, 14%, and 15%, respectively. The discount rates used in the quantitative tests as of October 1, 2024 for determining the fair value of the Company’s Ads and Leads and Services reporting units were 12.5% and 13.5%, respectively. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. To determine a peer group of companies for our respective reporting units, we considered companies relevant in terms of consumer use, monetization model, margin and growth characteristics, and brand strength operating in their respective sectors.
As a result of the valuation process, we determined that the fair value of the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units exceeded the carrying value and thus there was no impairment of goodwill in 2024. The fair value based on the valuation exceeded the carrying value of the Ads and Leads and Services reporting units by $494.5 million and $20.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
While the Company has the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying values, the Company's policy is to determine the fair value of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1, in part, because the level of effort required to perform the quantitative and qualitative assessments is essentially equivalent. The Company determines the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets using an avoided royalty DCF valuation analysis. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses are based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company’s trade names and trademarks. The future cash flows are based on the Company's most recent forecast and budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company’s estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. Assumptions used in the avoided royalty DCF analyses, including the discount rate and royalty rate, are assessed annually based on the actual and projected cash flows related to the asset, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company’s annual indefinite-lived impairment assessment ranged from 12.5% to 14.5% in 2024 and 15% to 17% in 2023, and the royalty rates used ranged from 2.5% to 4.5% in both 2024 and 2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified an impairment charge of $2.6 million related to a certain indefinite-lived trade name at Services. The discount rate used to value this trade name was 14.0%, and the royalty rate was 2.5%. The impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is included in “Amortization of intangibles” in the statement of operations.
The October 1, 2023 annual assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets did not identify any impairments.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and other online marketing platforms, partners who direct traffic to our brands, and app platforms, and offline marketing, which is primarily television, streaming, and radio advertising. Advertising expense was $333.3 million, $459.4 million and $558.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Legal Costs
Legal costs, other than certain costs incurred to obtain financing, which are generally capitalized, are expensed as incurred.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred to obtain financing are deferred and amortized to “Interest expense” in the statement of operations over the related financing period using the effective interest method. The Company records debt issuance costs as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the related debt.
Income Taxes
The Company is included within IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings. In all periods presented, the income tax benefit and/or provision has been computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from IAC for the Company’s share of IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
any applicable related income tax benefit, for uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company elects to recognize the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.
The Company evaluates and accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. Recognition (step one) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustainable upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. De-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when the Company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained.
Noncontrolling Interest
On August 28, 2024, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolling interests of a foreign subsidiary for a total purchase price of $16.0 million in cash. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a net decrease to additional paid in capital of $11.3 million, representing the difference between the cash consideration related to the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of the transaction. All consolidated entities are now wholly-owned by the Company, and no noncontrolling interest remains outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Angi Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock appreciation rights, stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. See “Note 13-Earnings (Loss) per Share” for additional information on dilutive securities.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses
The financial position and operating results of foreign entities whose primary economic environment is based on their local currency are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. These local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses of these operations are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as a component of other income (expense), net. Translation gains and losses relating to foreign entities that are liquidated or substantially liquidated are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings.

NOTE 5-LEASES
The Company primarily leases office space used in connection with its operations under various operating leases, the majority of which contain escalation clauses.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from these leases. ROU assets and related lease liabilities are based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement date, the date of acquisition for any leases acquired in connection with a business combination, or January 1, 2019, the date ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) was adopted, for leases that commenced prior to that date. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of lease payments in determining ROU assets and related lease liabilities. If the lease includes one or more options to extend the term of the lease, the renewal option is considered in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option(s). Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As permitted by ASC 842, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Variable lease payments consist primarily of common area maintenance, utilities, and taxes, which are not included in the recognition of ROU assets and related lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The 2017 plan (“the Plan”) covers stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”), including those that are linked to the achievement of the Company’s stock price, known as market-based awards (“MSUs”) and those that are linked to the achievement of a performance target, known as performance-based awards (“PSUs”), denominated in shares of Angi common stock, as well as provides for the future grant of these and other equity awards. The Plan authorizes the Company to grant awards to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. At December 31, 2024, there are 33.8 million shares available for grant under the Plan.
The Plan has a stated term of ten years, and provides that the exercise price of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted will not be less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Plan does not specify

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
grant dates or vesting schedules for awards, as those determinations have been delegated to the Compensation Committee of Angi board of directors (the “Committee”). Each grant agreement reflects the grant date and vesting schedule for that particular grant as determined by the Committee. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period from the grant date. RSU awards granted under the Plan generally vest either in one installment over a three-year period, in equal annual installments over a four-year period, or a three-year graded schedule (installments of 57% in first year, 29% in second year, and 14% in last year), in each case, from the grant date. PSU and MSU awards granted subsequent to the Combination generally cliff vest in a two to five-year period from the grant date.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations includes expense related to: (i) the Company’s RSUs, including MSUs and PSUs, and stock options and stock appreciation rights; (ii) equity instruments denominated in shares of one of its subsidiaries; and (iii) IAC denominated restricted stock. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized is net of estimated forfeitures. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimated rate. The expense ultimately recorded is for the awards that vest. At December 31, 2024, there was $36.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.14 years.
The total income tax benefit recognized in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 related to all stock-based compensation is $2.1 million, $2.9 million, $3.6 million, respectively.
The aggregate income tax benefit/(detriment) recognized related to the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is less than $(0.1) million, $0.1 million, and $(0.3) million, respectively. There may be some delay in the timing of the realization of the cash benefit of the income tax deductions related to stock-based compensation because it will be dependent upon the amount and timing of future taxable income and the timing of estimated income tax payments.
Restricted Stock Units, Market-based Stock Units and Performance-based Stock Units
RSUs, MSUs, and PSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of Angi common stock and with the value of each RSU and PSU equal to the fair value of Angi common stock at the date of grant. The value of each MSU is estimated using a lattice model that incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation of Angi’s stock price. Each RSU, MSU, and PSU grant is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. MSUs also include market-based vesting, tied to the stock price of Angi before an award vests and PSUs include performance-based vesting, where certain performance targets set at the time of grant must be achieved before an award vests. For RSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of Angi common stock and expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term. For MSU grants, the expense is measured using a lattice model and expensed as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period. For PSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of Angi common stock and expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term if the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved.

There were no stock options or stock appreciation rights granted by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
No cash was received from stock option exercises during the year ended December 31, 2022 because they were net settled in shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company settles all equity awards either on a net basis with the Company remitting withholding taxes on behalf of the employee or on a gross basis with the Company issuing a sufficient number of Class A shares to cover the withholding taxes. In addition, at IAC’s option, certain awards can be settled in either Class A shares of the Company or shares of IAC common stock. If settled in IAC common stock, the Company reimburses IAC in either cash or through the issuance of Class A shares to IAC. Assuming all of the stock appreciation rights outstanding on December 31, 2024 were net settled on that date, ANGI would have issued no Class A shares (either to award holders or to IAC as reimbursement) and ANGI would have remitted nothing in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate) as all stock appreciation rights outstanding are out of the money. Assuming all other ANGI equity awards outstanding on December 31, 2024, were net settled on that date, including stock options, RSUs and subsidiary denominated equity described below, ANGI would have issued 15.3 million Class A shares and would have remitted $24.1 million in cash for withholding taxes (assuming a 50% withholding rate).
Equity Instruments Denominated in the Shares of a Subsidiary
Angi has granted stock appreciation rights denominated in the equity of a non-publicly traded subsidiary to employees and management of that subsidiary. These equity awards vest over a period of years, which is typically three to four years. The value of the stock appreciation rights is tied to the value of the common stock of the subsidiary, which is determined by the Company using a variety of valuation techniques including a combination of market based and discounted cash flow valuation methodologies. Accordingly, these interests only have value to the extent the relevant business appreciates in value above the initial value utilized to determine the exercise price. These interests can have significant value in the event of significant appreciation. The fair value of these interests is generally determined by the board of directors of the subsidiary when settled, which will occur at various dates through 2028 and are ultimately settled in IAC common stock or Angi Class A common stock, at IAC’s election. These equity awards are settled on a net basis, with the award holder entitled to receive a payment in shares equal to the intrinsic value of the award at exercise less an amount equal to the required cash tax withholding payment. The expense associated with these equity awards is initially measured at fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at the grant date and is expensed as stock-based compensation over the vesting term.
The plans under which these awards are granted establish specific settlement dates or liquidity events for which the valuation of the relevant subsidiary is determined for purposes of settlement of the awards.
IAC Denominated Stock-based Awards
On November 5, 2020, IAC entered into a ten-year employment agreement and a Restricted Stock Agreement (“RSA Agreement”) with Joseph Levin, IAC’s CEO. The RSA Agreement provided for a grant of 3.0 million shares of IAC restricted common stock.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On January 13, 2025, IAC and Joseph Levin, CEO of IAC and Chairman of Angi, entered into an Employment Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Employment Agreement, by and between Mr. Levin and IAC, dated November 5, 2020 (“Employment Agreement”), and the Amended and Restated RSA, dated June 7, 2021 were terminated, except as provided in Section 6 of the RSA Agreement. As a result, the 3.0 million shares of IAC restricted stock granted to Mr. Levin pursuant to the RSA Agreement were forfeited by Mr. Levin. Accordingly, the cumulative previously recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10.2 million recognized by Angi, with respect to the restricted stock will be reversed in the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The expense recognized by Angi was attributable to the period from October 10, 2023 through April 8, 2024 when Mr. Levin served as CEO of Angi.
NOTE 11-BENEFIT PLANS
The Company’s employees in the U.S. can elect to participate in a retirement savings program offered by IAC, the IAC Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (“IAC Plan”), that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the IAC Plan, participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation, but not more than statutory limits. The Company matches fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes to the IAC Plan, with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant’s eligible earnings. The IAC Plan generally limits Company matching contributions to $10,000 per participant on an annual basis. Matching contributions to the IAC Plan for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $7.6 million, $8.1 million, and $9.3 million, respectively. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant’s voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the IAC Plan. An investment option in the IAC Plan is IAC common stock, but neither participant nor matching contributions are required to be invested in IAC common stock.
The Company also has or participates in various benefit plans, primarily defined contribution plans, for its international employees. The Company’s contributions to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $1.2 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.
NOTE 12-INCOME TAXES
The Company is included within IAC’s tax group for purposes of federal and consolidated state income tax return filings. In all periods presented, the income tax benefit and/or provision has been computed for the Company on an as if standalone, separate return basis and payments to and refunds from IAC for the Company’s share of IAC’s consolidated federal and state tax return liabilities/receivables calculated on this basis have been reflected within cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The tax sharing agreement between the Company and IAC governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters, including responsibility for taxes attributable to the Company, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes and other matters and, therefore, ultimately governs the amount payable to or receivable from IAC with respect to income taxes. Any differences between taxes currently payable to or receivable from IAC under the tax sharing agreement and the current tax provision or benefit computed on an as if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital in the statement of shareholders’ equity and financing activities within the statement of cash flows.

At December 31, 2024, the Company has federal and state NOLs of $345.9 million and $373.9 million, respectively, available to offset future income. Of these federal NOLs, $214.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $131.7 million, if not utilized, will expire at various times between 2035 and 2037. Of these state NOLs, $18.8 million will be carried forward indefinitely and $355.1 million will expire at various times primarily between 2025 and 2044. Federal and state NOLs of $317.8 million and $288.3 million, respectively, can be used against future taxable income without restriction and the remaining NOLs will be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, separate return limitations, and applicable state law. At December 31, 2024, the Company has foreign NOLs of $289.9 million available to offset future income. Of these foreign NOLs, $279.7 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $10.2 million, if not utilized, will expire at various times between 2038 and 2044. During 2024, the Company recognized tax benefits related to NOLs of $36.2 million.
At December 31, 2024, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of $38.5 million relating to federal and state tax credits for research activities. Of these credit carryforwards, $1.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $37.0 million, if not utilized, will expire between 2025 and 2044.
The Company regularly assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets considering all available evidence including, to the extent applicable, the nature, frequency and severity of prior cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, tax filing status, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, available tax planning and historical experience. At December 31, 2024, the Company has a U.S. gross deferred tax asset of $195.9 million that the Company expects to fully utilize on a more likely than not basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
During 2024, the Company’s valuation allowance decreased by $34.3 million primarily due to a change in judgement on the realizability of foreign NOLs and currency translation adjustments. Following the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interests of a foreign subsidiary, we reorganized related business operations, which resulted in the release of a valuation allowance for foreign net operating losses in the amount of $31.1 million as a discrete item in the third quarter because we are now forecasting the utilization of these net operating losses within the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2024, the Company has a valuation allowance of $42.5 million related to the portion of NOLs and other items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, accruals for interest are not material and there are no accruals for penalties.
The Company’s income taxes are routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities as a result of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2015. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits that are considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided 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.
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, of $9.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively; all of which are for tax positions included in IAC’s consolidated tax return filings. If unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 are subsequently recognized, the income tax provision would be reduced by $9.1 million. The comparable amount as of December 31, 2023 is $7.6 million. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $0.6 million by December 31, 2025 due to settlements; $0.5 million of which would reduce the income tax provision.

NOTE 15-CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal and other matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain legal and other matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no accrual is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and for which the Company cannot estimate a loss or range of loss, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including unrecognized tax benefits and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See “Note 12-Income Taxes” for information related to unrecognized tax benefits.
NOTE 16-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH IAC
Allocation of CEO Compensation and Certain Expenses
Joseph Levin, CEO of IAC and Chairman of Angi, was CEO of Angi from October 10, 2022 through April 8, 2024. As a result, IAC allocated $2.4 million, $9.4 million, and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the period from October 10, 2022 to December 31, 2022, respectively, in costs to Angi (including salary, benefits, stock-based compensation and costs related to the CEO’s office). These costs were allocated from IAC based upon time spent on Angi by Mr. Levin. Management considers the allocation method to be reasonable. The allocated costs also include costs directly attributable to the Company that were initially paid for by IAC and billed by IAC to the Company.
On April 8, 2024, Jeffrey W. Kip, President of Angi, was appointed to succeed Joseph Levin as CEO of Angi. Mr. Levin remains Chairman of the Company’s board of directors. Further, on January 13, 2025 and in connection with the Distribution, IAC announced that Mr. Levin will step down from his role as CEO of IAC on the earlier of the completion of the spin-off of Angi or May 31, 2025. Concurrent with IAC’s announcement, Angi announced its appointment of Mr. Levin as Executive Chairman of Angi, effective upon his departure from IAC.
The Combination and Related Agreements
The Company and IAC, in connection with the Combination, entered into a contribution agreement; an investor rights agreement; a services agreement; a tax sharing agreement and an employee matters agreement, which collectively govern the relationship between IAC and Angi.
Following the Distribution, Angi will continue to be an independent, publicly traded company, and IAC will no longer own any shares of Angi capital stock. The agreements between IAC and Angi that were put in place in connection with the Combination will survive the Distribution in accordance with their terms, with certain exceptions.
Contribution Agreement
The contribution agreement sets forth the agreements between the Company and IAC regarding the principal transactions necessary for IAC to separate the Angi business from IAC's other businesses, as well as governs certain aspects of our relationship. Under the contribution agreement, the Company agreed to assume all of the assets and liabilities related to the Angi business and agreed to indemnify IAC against any losses arising out of any breach by the Company of the contribution agreement or the other transaction related agreements described below. IAC also agreed to indemnify the Company against any losses arising out of any breach by IAC of the contribution agreement or any of the other transaction related agreements described below.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Investor Rights Agreement
The investor rights agreement provides IAC with certain registration, preemptive, and governance rights related to the Company and the shares of its capital stock it holds, as well as certain governance rights for the benefit of stockholders other than IAC. In connection with the Distribution, IAC and Angi anticipate that they will terminate the investor rights agreement.
Services Agreement
The services agreement currently governs services that IAC has agreed to provide to the Company through September 29, 2025, with automatic renewal for successive one-year terms, subject to IAC’s continued ownership of a majority of the total combined voting power of Angi’s voting stock and any subsequent extension(s) or truncation(s) agreed to by Angi and IAC. The scope, nature and extent of services may be changed from time to time as Angi and IAC may agree. In connection with the Distribution, Angi and IAC anticipate that they will update the schedule of services provided under the services agreement to reflect the provision of certain services requested by Angi for an agreed period of time following the Distribution, on terms consistent with the services agreement, including Angi’s continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan until January 1, 2026.
The Company was charged by IAC $3.9 million, $6.4 million, and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, for services rendered pursuant to the services agreement. There were no outstanding payables pursuant to the services agreement at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The tax sharing agreement governs the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the Company and IAC with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, entitlements to refunds, preparation of tax returns, tax contests and other tax matters regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company is generally responsible and required to indemnify IAC for: (i) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or its subsidiaries that includes the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent attributable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as determined under the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) all taxes imposed with respect to any of the Company's or its subsidiaries’ consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax returns.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had outstanding payables of $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, due to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, which are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” in the balance sheet. There were $5.1 million of payments to IAC pursuant to this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no payments to or refunds from IAC pursuant to this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Employee Matters Agreement
The employee matters agreement addresses certain compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefit issues related to the allocation of liabilities associated with: (i) employment or termination of employment, (ii) employee benefit plans and (iii) equity awards. Under the employee matters agreement, the Company's employees participate in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan and the Company reimburses IAC for the costs of such participation. In the event IAC no longer retains shares representing at least 80% of the aggregate voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of the Company’s board of directors, Angi will no longer participate in IAC’s employee benefit plans, but will establish its own employee benefit plans that will be substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC prior to the Combination.
In addition, the employee matters agreement requires the Company to reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity awards held by Angi current and former employees, with IAC having the ability to elect to receive payment in cash or shares of our Class B common stock. This agreement also provides that IAC has the ability to require that stock appreciation rights granted prior to the closing of the Combination and equity awards denominated in shares of our subsidiaries to be settled in either shares of our Class A common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent that shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, the Company is obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of our Class A common stock in the case of stock appreciation rights granted prior to the closing of the Combination and shares of our Class B common stock in the case of equity awards denominated in shares of our subsidiaries.
ANGI INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Lastly, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, in the event of a distribution of Angi capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the IAC Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Such authority includes (but is not limited to) the ability to convert all or part of IAC equity awards outstanding immediately prior to any such distribution into equity awards denominated in shares of Angi Class A common stock, which Angi would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to Angi stockholders. Following the Distribution, solely for purposes of determining the expiration of options with respect to shares of common stock of one company held by employees of the other company, IAC and Angi employees will be deemed employed by both companies for so long as they continue to be employed by whichever of the companies employs them immediately following the Distribution. The Company expects to terminate the employee matters agreement upon the completion of the Distribution, with Angi’s continued participation in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan to be covered under the services agreement as described above.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there have been no IAC equity awards held by Angi employees exercised or vested, and no exercises and settlements of stock appreciation rights, that would require, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, reimbursement to IAC in Class A and Class B common stock.
Other Arrangements
Additionally, the Company subleases office space to IAC and charged rent pursuant to a lease agreement of $0.1 million, $0.6 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. IAC subleases office space to the Company and charged rent pursuant to a lease agreement of $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no outstanding receivables due from or payables due to IAC pursuant to the sublease agreements. In connection with the Distribution, IAC and Angi anticipate that they will terminate the sublease arrangements.
The Company incurred advertising expense of $1.1 million, $6.5 million, and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, related to advertising and audience targeted advertising purchased from another IAC owned business. At December 31, 2024, there were no related payables outstanding. At December 31, 2023, there were related outstanding payables of $2.2 million included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the balance sheet.

NOTE 18-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Proposed Spin-off
On January 13, 2025, IAC announced that its board of directors approved a plan to spin off its full stake in the Company to IAC stockholders. IAC intends to effect the spin-off through a dividend to the holders of its common stock and Class B common stock of all of the common stock of the Company owned by IAC (the “Distribution”). Prior to the effective time of the Distribution, IAC intends to voluntarily convert all of the shares of our Class B common stock that it owns to shares of Class A common stock. The completion of the Distribution remains subject to customary conditions and to the final approval of IAC's board of directors and may not be completed, on the anticipated terms or at all.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, included herein.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. See Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, which reports are incorporated herein by reference.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Angi Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Angi Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Angi Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 28, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
