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 service professionals with consumers across more than 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling homes to cleaning and landscaping. Approximately 196,000 transacting service professionals actively sought consumer matches, completed jobs, or advertised work through Angi Inc. platforms during the three months ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, consumers turned to at least one of our brands to find a professional for approximately 23 million projects during the year ended December 31, 2023.

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.

Table of Contents

Ads and Leads provides service 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 service professionals nationwide for home repair, maintenance and improvement projects. Services consumers can request household services directly through the Angi platform and Angi fulfills the request through the use of independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. The matching and pre-priced booking services and related tools and directories are provided to consumers free of charge.

In the U.S., 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 service professionals primarily through its sales force, as well as through search engine marketing, digital media advertising, and direct relationships with trade associations and manufacturers. We have made, and expect to continue to make, substantial investments in digital and traditional advertising (with continued expansion into new and existing digital platforms) to consumers and service professionals to promote our products and services and to drive traffic to our various platforms and service professionals.

Total Home Roofing, LLC Sale

On November 1, 2023, Angi Inc. completed the sale of 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Total Home Roofing, LLC (“THR,” which comprised its Roofing segment), and has reflected it as a discontinued operation in its financial statements. The financial information for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. For additional details, see “Note 16—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, which include the principal operating metrics we use in managing our business, are defined below:

•Ads and Leads Revenue primarily reflects domestic consumer connection revenue for consumer matches, revenue from service professionals under contract for advertising and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers.

•Services Revenue primarily reflects domestic revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through a Company platform and the Company connects them with a service professional to perform the service.

•International Revenue primarily reflects 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 service professionals and consumers.

•Corporate primarily reflects 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 service professionals, (ii) contacts to Ads and Leads service professionals generated via the service 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 service 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.

Components of Results of Operations

Sources of Revenue

Ads and Leads revenue includes consumer connection revenue, which comprises fees paid by service professionals for consumer matches (regardless of whether the service professional ultimately provides the requested service), revenue from service professionals under contract for advertising, membership subscription revenue from service 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 revenue from pre-priced offerings by which the consumer requests services through the Company’s platform and the Company engages a service professional to perform the service. International revenue primarily comprises consumer connection revenue for consumer matches and membership subscription revenue from service professionals and consumers.

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 service professional, rather than Angi Inc., has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and our performance obligation to the consumer is to connect them with the service 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 service 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, if Services revenue were recorded on a net basis, revenue would have been reduced by $242.6 million and $180.7 million, respectively.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, which excludes depreciation, consists primarily of (i) payments made to independent third-party service professionals who perform work contracted under Services arrangements that were entered into prior to January 1, 2023 and the change to net revenue reporting, (ii) credit card processing fees, and (iii) hosting fees.

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 service 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 and radio advertising, (ii) compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) and other employee-related costs for our sales force 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) facilities costs. Our customer service function includes personnel who provide support to our service 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.

loss attributable to Angi Inc. shareholders to operating loss to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Recently, there has been a return to normal societal interactions, including the way we operate our business.

As previously disclosed, the impact of COVID-19 initially resulted in a decline in demand for Service Requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). While we experienced a rebound in Service Requests in early 2021, Service Requests started to decline in May 2021 and continued to decline during 2022 due, in part, to COVID-19 measures that were more widely in place in prior periods. Our ability to monetize Service Requests rebounded modestly in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022; however, that improved monetization plateaued in the third quarter of 2022 returning to monetization rates similar to those experienced pre-COVID-19.

Outlook

The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the severity of resurgences of COVID-19 caused by variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes toward receiving them, materials and supply chain constraints, labor shortages, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services and other activity, and public reactions to these developments.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

Ads and Leads revenue decreased $157.2 million, or 12%, due primarily to a decrease in consumer connection revenue of $173.6 million, or 18%, and a decrease in membership subscription revenue of $8.1 million, or 13%, due to a decline in Monetized Transactions and a decline in service professionals in the Angi network, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $25.3 million, or 10%, in advertising revenue. The decrease in Monetized Transactions was a result of an effort to rationalize sales to service professionals that are unprofitable, as well as efforts to increase lead quality, including changes to certain demand channels, to enhance the user experience for both homeowners and service professionals. The increase in advertising revenue was primarily driven by continued growth in sales and improved retention.

Services revenue decreased $263.2 million, or 69%, due primarily to the change to net revenue reporting described above under “Sources of Revenue,” a decrease of $92.4 million due to the continued shift away from complex and less profitable offerings, and lower Service Requests.

Table of Contents

International revenue increased $14.8 million, or 15%, due primarily to a larger service professional network and higher revenue per service professional.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021

Ads and Leads revenue increased $55.0 million, or 4%, due primarily to an increase in consumer connection revenue of $56.3 million, or 6%, primarily as a result of price increases implemented during the second quarter of 2022 and an increase in advertising revenue driven by a growth in sales.

Services revenue increased $91.3 million, or 31%, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per Monetized Transaction due to higher average-order-value jobs in complex service categories and an increase in Monetized Transactions in 2022 relative to 2021, as well as price increases in certain job categories.

International revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 1%, due primarily to the unfavorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the British Pound.

Ads and Leads selling and marketing expense decreased $81.8 million, or 11%, driven by decreases of $82.0 million in advertising expense and $4.1 million in professional fees, partially offset by an increase of $5.0 million in compensation expense. The decrease in advertising expense was primarily due to a $107.5 million decrease in online marketing spend due to increased efficiency, partially offset by a $25.3 million increase in television spend due to efforts to build awareness of the Angi brand. The decrease in professional fees is primarily due to a decrease in marketing and branding consultancy fees. The increase in compensation expense is primarily due to increased sales commissions due to the immediate expensing of commissions for certain transactions beginning October 1, 2022.

Services selling and marketing expense decreased $34.8 million, or 47%, driven by decreases of $22.1 million in professional fees and third-party wages, $17.4 million in compensation expense, and $7.1 million of advertising expense, partially offset by an increase of $14.9 million in service guarantee expense. The decrease in professional fees and third-party wages is primarily due to $12.7 million less in phone-based sales wages primarily resulting from increased reliance on more profitable digital conversion channels and $6.1 million less due to streamlined fulfillment operations, partially driven by fewer complex services. The decrease in compensation expense is primarily due to a reduction in headcount. The decrease in advertising expense is primarily due to a decrease in service professional marketing spend. The increase in service guarantee expense is due to the aforementioned change in contractual terms and conditions such that this expense is no longer a component of cost of revenue, which is where the expense was recorded prior to January 1, 2023.

International selling and marketing expense decreased $5.8 million, or 14%, driven by a $10.2 million decrease in advertising expense, partially offset by an increase in compensation expense of $3.3 million.

million in lease expense. The increase in compensation expense is due to an increase of $12.9 million in wage-related expense from higher headcount and $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expense.

The increase in software license and maintenance expense is due primarily to increased spend on software to support our customer service function.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

Ads and Leads Adjusted EBITDA decreased $21.6 million, or 13%, to $147.4 million, and decreased as a percentage of revenue, driven by lower gross profit due to a decrease in revenue, partially offset by lower general and administrative expense due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses, legal fees, and compensation costs and lower selling and marketing expense due to improved marketing efficiency.

Services Adjusted EBITDA increased $60.2 million, from a loss of $52.1 million to income of $8.1 million, and increased as a percentage of revenue, driven by higher gross profit due to pricing and fulfillment optimization efforts over the past year and lower operating expenses due to a reduced overall cost base as a result of exiting complex and less profitable offerings.

International Adjusted EBITDA increased $13.6 million, from a loss of $0.5 million to income of $13.1 million, driven by an increase in revenue and lower selling and marketing expense due to more efficient marketing spend.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021

Ads and Leads Adjusted EBITDA increased $32.7 million, or 24%, to $169.0 million, and increased as a percentage of revenue, due primarily to higher revenue of $55.0 million, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense of $23.7 million.

Services Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $3.9 million, or 8%, to a loss of $52.1 million, and increased as a percentage of revenue, driven by higher revenue of $91.3 million, partially offset by increases in cost of revenue of $64.1 million, general and administrative expense of $27.8 million, and selling and marketing expense of $13.6 million.

Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $3.8 million, or 8%, to $49.9 million, primarily due to an increase in compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in lease expense.

International Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased $6.1 million, or 93%, due to a decrease in general and administrative expense of $8.6 million, which was primarily due to the 2021 charge of $7.0 million related to the acquisition of an additional interest in MyBuilder at a premium to fair value. This was partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in revenue and an increase of $3.1 million in product development expense.

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.

In 2022, the effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to unbenefited realized losses, foreign income subject to tax in the United States, and nondeductible stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by research credits.

In 2021, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to excess tax benefits generated by the exercise and vesting of stock-based awards and a change in judgment about the valuation allowance at the beginning of the year, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation expense and foreign income taxed at different rates.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

We report Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, and on which our internal budgets are based and may 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 the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of 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 service 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.

Financing activities attributable to continuing operations$(16,983)$(17,227)$(345,168)

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), amortization of intangibles, and deferred income taxes.

2023

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 Angi Inc. 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.

2022

Adjustments to net loss attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of $104.3 million of provision for credit losses, $77.5 million of depreciation, $50.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $13.8 million of non-cash lease expense (including impairment of right-of-use assets), and $13.8 million of amortization of intangibles, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $9.8 million. The decrease from changes in working capital consists primarily of an increase of $111.9 million in accounts receivable, a decrease of $16.7 million in operating lease liabilities, and a decrease of $3.0 million in deferred revenue, partially offset by increases of $11.6 million in accounts payable and other liabilities and $3.2 million in income taxes payable and receivable. The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth, primarily attributable to Services. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The decrease in deferred revenue is due to lower annual membership count. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to increases in accrued expenses related to the 2021 brand integration initiative. The increase in income taxes payables and receivable is due primarily to accrual of taxes in excess of payments.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $115.5 million of capital expenditures, 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 $8.8 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled and $8.1 million for the repurchase of 1.0 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $7.80 per share.

The increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to revenue growth, primarily attributable to Services. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases net of interest accretion. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to increases in accrued advertising.

Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $69.9 million of capital expenditures, primarily related to investments in capitalized software to support the Company’s products and services, partially offset by proceeds of $50.0 million from the maturities of marketable debt securities.

Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $220.0 million for the prepayment of the ANGI Group Term Loan, which otherwise would have matured on November 5, 2023, $61.9 million for the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for stock-based awards that were net settled, $35.4 million for the repurchase of 3.2 million shares of Angi Inc. Class A common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $11.06 per share, and $27.9 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Discontinued Operations

Net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations of $11.0 million, $(20.1) million, and $(44.0) million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, relates to the operations for 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, 2023, the Company repurchased 4.4 million shares, on a trade date basis, of its common stock at an average price of $2.50 per share, or $11.1 million in aggregate. During the fourth quarter of 2023, Angi Inc. put in place a share repurchase plan with the intent of utilizing the remaining shares in its stock repurchase authorization. The plan will be subject to price and volume limitations. From January 1, 2024 through February 9, 2024, the Company repurchased an additional 2.7 million shares at an average price of $2.36 per share, or $6.3 million in aggregate. The Company had 7.9 million shares remaining in its share repurchase authorization as of February 9, 2024. The Company may purchase its shares pursuant to its 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.

Outstanding Stock-based Awards

The Company may settle equity awards on a gross or a net basis depending upon factors deemed relevant at the time, and if settled on a net basis, Angi remits withholding taxes on behalf of the employee. At IAC’s option, certain Angi stock appreciation rights can be settled in either Class A shares of Angi 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. The Company currently settles all equity awards on a net basis.

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 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 Angi Class A Common Stock for no compensation, which Angi would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to Angi’s stockholders.

The following table summarizes the aggregate intrinsic value of all awards outstanding as of February 9, 2024; assuming these awards were net settled on that date, the withholding taxes that would be paid by the Company on behalf of employees upon exercise or vesting that would be payable (assuming these equity awards are net settled with a 50% tax rate), and the shares that would have been issued are as follows:

(b)The number of shares ultimately needed to settle subsidiary denominated equity awards and the cash withholding tax obligation may vary significantly as a result of the determination of the fair value of the relevant award at the time of exercise. In addition, the number of shares required to settle these awards will be impacted by movement in the Company’s stock price.

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, 2023 are as follows:

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s 2024 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than 2023 capital expenditures of $47.8 million by approximately 15% to 30% due to an increase in the capitalization rate of software development projects.

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, 2023, IAC held all Class B shares of Angi Inc., which represent 84.2% of the economic interest and 98.1% of the voting interest of the Company. As a result, IAC has the ability to control Angi’s financing activities, including the issuance of additional debt and equity securities by Angi or any of its subsidiaries, or the incurrence of other indebtedness generally. While Angi 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 Angi’s capital stock and its representation on the Angi board of directors.

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 Angi’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 $24.7 million and $38.8 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $79.4 million, $104.3 million, and $86.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Business Combinations

The Company made no acquisitions, which are generally referred to in GAAP as business combinations, in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company acquired THR in the year ended December 31, 2021, however, following its sale on November 1, 2023, it is reflected as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements. The purchase price of each 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.

Management makes two critical determinations at the time of an acquisition: (1) the reporting unit(s) that will benefit from the acquisition and to which goodwill will be assigned and (2) the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired business to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their fair values. The reporting unit determination is important beyond the initial allocation of purchase price because future impairment assessments of goodwill, as described below, are performed at the reporting unit level. At October 1, 2023, the Company had four reporting units: Ads and Leads, Services, Roofing (subsequently sold as described above) and International. Historically, the Company’s acquisitions have been complementary to these reporting units and the goodwill has been assigned to the reporting unit.

The allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon their fair values and is complex because of the judgments involved in determining these values. The determination of purchase price and the fair value of monetary assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically the least complex aspect of the Company’s accounting for business combinations due to management’s experience and/or the inherently lower level of judgement required. Due to the higher degree of complexity associated with the valuation of acquired intangible assets, the Company usually obtains the assistance of outside valuation experts in the allocation of purchase price to the identifiable intangible assets acquired, which can be both definite-lived, such as acquired technology, customer and contractor relationships, or indefinite lived, such as acquired trade names and trademarks. 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 the 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.

Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The carrying value of goodwill is $886.0 million and $882.9 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of the Company’s acquired trade names and trademarks, have a carrying value of $170.8 million and $170.1 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 at October 1, 2023, a qualitative assessment of the Ads and Leads, Services, and International reporting units was performed by the Company to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of these reporting units was in excess of their respective carrying values. The primary factors that the Company considered in its qualitative assessment for each of these reporting units are described below:

•The Company considered the strong forecasted operating performance, in addition to actual operating results in the current year, of the Ads and Leads, Services, and International reporting units.

•The Company also considered the prior year annual valuations of the Ads and Leads, Services, and International reporting units prepared as of October 1, 2022, and valuations of the International reporting unit prepared approximate to, however, not as of, October 1, 2023, in connection with the issuance and/or settlement of equity awards that are denominated in the equity of this business.

Based on these factors we concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is below their respective carrying amounts.

As of October 1, 2023, prior to its sale on November 1, 2023, the Roofing reporting unit had no goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

If and when a quantitative test is performed, 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. 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. 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.

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 15.0% to 17.0% in 2023 and 12.0% to 18.5% in 2022, and the royalty rates used ranged from 2.5% to 4.5% in 2023 and 2.0% to 4.5% in 2022.

The October 1, 2023 and 2021 annual assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets did not identify any impairments. The October 1, 2022 annual assessment identified a $26.0 million goodwill impairment at the Roofing reporting unit, which is reflected as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements.

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 and other content 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 $92.3 million and $128.5 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 provision and/or benefit 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 accompanying consolidated 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 computed on an if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and financing activities within the consolidated statement of cash flows. The portion of the December 31, 2023 deferred tax assets that will be payable to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, upon realization, is $92.9 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, 2023 and 2022, the balance of the Company’s net deferred tax asset is $145.4 million and $135.5 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, 2023 and 2022, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, of $8.1 million and $6.2 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, 2023, the Company is in a three-year cumulative loss position. The Company’s most significant net deferred tax asset relates to U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $101.0 million. The Company expects to generate future taxable income of at least $480.9 million prior to the expiration of these NOLs, $266.7 million of which expire between 2033 and 2037, and the remainder of which never expire, 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, inspire and reward our management team and employees at the Company, including those employed by recently acquired companies, as applicable, 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 our subsidiaries as well as in Angi Inc. 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 performance-based awards. In other cases, we link the vesting of equity awards to the achievement of a value target for a subsidiary or Angi Inc.’s stock price, as applicable; these awards are referred to as market-based awards. 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 Inc. shares. In addition, certain former Angi Inc. stock appreciation rights can be settled in IAC or Angi Inc. 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 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”), stock options, stock appreciation rights, equity instruments denominated in shares of subsidiaries, and an allocation of expense related to IAC denominated restricted stock.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $43.4 million, $50.8 million, and $28.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Included in stock-based compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a net decrease of $2.1 million due to management departures. Also included in stock-based compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2021 is $1.0 million related to the modification of previously issued HomeAdvisor equity awards and Angie’s List equity awards, both of which were converted into Angi’s equity awards when the businesses combined on September 29, 2017. These modified awards finished vesting in the first quarter of 2021, therefore, there was no modification charge for the awards in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a net decrease of $7.7 million due to the reversal of previously recognized expense related to unvested awards that were forfeited due to management departures.

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 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 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.
