Risk Factors

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in this Item 1A “Risk Factors”. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Our success will depend, in substantial part, on the continued migration of the home services market online.

•Marketing efforts designed to drive traffic to our brands and businesses may not be successful or cost-effective.

•We rely on search engines to drive traffic to our various properties.

•Our success depends on our ability to continue to balance our various offerings to service professionals across Angi platforms.

•Our success depends, in substantial part, on our ability to establish and maintain relationships with quality and trustworthy professionals.

•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.

•Our success depends, in part, on our ability to access, collect and use personal data about consumers.

•Our ability to communicate with consumers and professionals via email (or other sufficient means) is critical to our success.

•Changes to certain requirements applicable to certain communications with consumers may adversely impact our ability to generate leads for our professionals.

•There may be adverse tax, legal and other consequences if the contractor classification or employment status of the professionals who use our platforms is challenged.

•Our brands and businesses operate in an especially competitive and evolving industry.

•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.

•We may not be able to protect our systems, technology and infrastructure from cyberattacks or cyberattacks experienced by third parties may adversely affect us.

•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.

•Our success depends, in part, on the integrity, quality, efficiency and scalability of our systems, technology and infrastructure, and those of third parties.

•We depend on our key personnel.

•Until the completion of the Distribution, IAC controls our company, will have the ability to control the direction of our business and its interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders.

•We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness.

•Some or all of the expected benefits of the Distribution may not be achieved.

•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.

•IAC will provide certain services to us pursuant to a services agreement following the Distribution. When such agreements terminate, we will be required to replace such services, and the economic terms of the new arrangements may be less favorable to us.

•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.

•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.

•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 theAngi 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 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Overview

We recognize that the safety and security of our systems, technology and infrastructure (and those of key third-party service providers upon which we rely), as well as our content and confidential or sensitive user and employee information, is critical to maintaining the trust and confidence of our users and subscribers, consumers, advertisers and investors (among other stakeholders). As a result, Company management has established programs and related processes designed to manage cybersecurity issues, including the assessment, identification and management of cybersecurity risks, together with related mitigation and recovery efforts. Our board of directors, directly and through our Audit Committee, oversees Company management in the execution of its cybersecurity responsibilities, including the assessment of the Company’s approach to cybersecurity risk management.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

Overview. Our cybersecurity programs and related processes generally consist of the following key elements: (i) risk assessment and management efforts, (ii) technical safeguards and incident response and recovery efforts, (iii) third-party risk management efforts, (iv) education, training and preparedness efforts and (v) governance efforts.

Risk assessment and management efforts. We assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks as part of a comprehensive information security program that is intended to align with standard industry frameworks, such as International Standard for Organization (ISO) 27000 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework.

As part of the ongoing refinement of our information security program, we engage (as appropriate) various third-party risk management services to assist with the identification of potential cybersecurity issues, such as those involving software vulnerabilities, configuration errors, data exposure and credential theft (among others), as well as consult with external legal counsel, third-party experts and other advisors to assist with incident response and recovery efforts, forensic investigations, extortion negotiations and crisis management or readiness for the same. We also maintain a cyber insurance policy to help manage, in part, costs associated with significant cybersecurity incidents that may occur.

In addition, as discussed in more detail below under the caption “Cybersecurity Governance,” the assessment, identification and management of cybersecurity risks have been integrated into our overall enterprise risk management (“ERM”) efforts.

Technical safeguards and incident response and recovery efforts. As part of our information security program, we have implemented a number of tools and procedures designed to identify and remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in our applications and infrastructure, as well as manage access and identities throughout their lifecycles. These tools and procedures

are intended to be consistent with ISO and NIST frameworks. In addition, we have implemented an incident response policy that outlines established processes for addressing cybersecurity issues that leverages a cross-functional cybersecurity incident response team and outside advisors intended to allow the Company to take action in a timely and decisive manner in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations during the response, investigation and remediation of a given cybersecurity incident.

Third-party risk managementefforts. In addition to the assessment, identification and management of our own cybersecurity related risks, we also consider and evaluate cybersecurity risks associated with certain third-party service providers upon which we rely for a wide variety of technical and business functions. Our efforts in this regard consist of (among other efforts): (i) security assessments to determine whether key third-party service provider information security procedures meet our expectations, (ii) the use of a monitoring service that detects evidence of the compromise of key third-party service provider systems, technology and infrastructure, (iii) assessments designed to identify business and technical risks to our systems, technology and infrastructure posed by key third-party service providers and (iv) the development of strategies to determine the potential adverse impact of, and develop mitigation strategies for, any cybersecurity incidents experienced by key third-party service providers on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Education, training and preparedness efforts. Education, training and preparedness are an important part of our information security program. In connection with our education and training efforts, we have developed and implemented a set of Company-wide policies and procedures regarding cybersecurity matters that impose responsibility on our employees through the course of their work to: (i) protect our systems, technology, infrastructure and data from cybersecurity threats, (ii) quickly report known or suspected cybersecurity incidents or other suspicious activity through designated channels and respond effectively to such events and (iii) use Company and personal information technology in a secure manner. In addition, we generally mandate information security training for our employees and our software developers generally receive mandatory additional technical training, each on an annual basis. In connection with our preparedness efforts, we periodically participate in tabletop exercises with the goal of helping management effectively respond to cybersecurity incidents that may occur. We also maintain documented incident response policies to help ensure that our response activities are consistent and appropriate.

Governance. See the disclosure under the caption “Cybersecurity Governance” below.

Cybersecurity Governance

Our board of directors is responsible for overseeing Company management’s execution of its cybersecurity responsibilities, including our approach to cybersecurity risk management. Our board of directors executes this oversight in coordination with our Audit Committee, which pursuant to its charter, assists the Board with risk assessment and risk management policies as they relate to cybersecurity risk exposure (among other risk exposures), as well as part of its regularly scheduled meetings and through discussions with Company management on an as needed basis.

In addition, the assessment, identification and management of cybersecurity risks has been integrated into our ERM efforts. As part of that annual process, cybersecurity risks across our businesses are included in the risk universe that our Executive Risk Committee (consisting of members of Company senior management) evaluates to identify our top enterprise risks and develop related mitigation plans. The cybersecurity and other risks are reviewed during the year through our ERM process and discussed with our Audit Committee at least semi-annually and with our board of directors at least annually.

Our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) is responsible for the development and implementation of our information security program on a Company-wide basis, together with a dedicated team of experienced, Company-wide information security analysts.Our CTO has over twenty years of experience leading the development, implementation, and oversight of information security programs. Other members of our information security team are generally seasoned professionals with broad cybersecurity experience and expertise, including with respect to cybersecurity threat assessment and detection, mitigation technologies, incident response, and training on such topics.

Our CTO is also responsible for reporting on the status of our information security program and related efforts and processes to Company senior management periodically, and to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. In addition, our CTO reports cybersecurity matters to Company senior management and the Audit Committee on an as-needed basis. At each regularly scheduled meeting of our board of directors, the Chair of our Audit Committee provides quarterly updates regarding significant matters discussed, reviewed, considered and approved by the committee since the last regularly scheduled board meeting (including cybersecurity matters, as and if applicable), as well as timely updates outside of quarterly updates on an as needed basis. Our CTO promptly informs Company management and our Audit Committee (and IAC management) of cybersecurity incidents that meet established reporting thresholds or when otherwise determined appropriate, as well as provides ongoing updates regarding any such incidents until they have been resolved.

Cybersecurity Risks

As discussed above and under Item 1A. Risk Factors—General Risk Factors, we face a number of cybersecurity risks across our various businesses, and from time to time we have experienced threats to and unauthorized intrusions of our systems,

technology and infrastructure. Despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or incidents, or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident. While we have implemented a risk management process designed to mitigate cybersecurity risks that arise from utilizing third-party service providers, suppliers, and vendors, our control over and ability to monitor the security posture of third parties with whom we do business remains limited and there can be no assurance that we can prevent, mitigate, or remediate the risk of any compromise or failure in the security infrastructure owned or controlled by such third parties. Additionally, any contractual protections with such third parties, including our right to indemnification, if any at all, may be limited or insufficient to prevent a negative impact on our business from such compromise or failure.

Item 2. Properties

We believe that the facilities for our management and operations are generally adequate for our current and near-term future needs. Our facilities, most of which are leased, consist of executive and administrative offices, sales offices and data centers. We do not anticipate any future problems renewing or obtaining suitable leases for us or any of our businesses. We currently lease approximately 101,000 square feet of office for our corporate headquarters, Angi business and administrative and sales force personnel in Denver, Colorado.

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.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

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.

Dividends

We do not currently expect that any cash or other dividends will be paid to holders of our Class A or Class B common stock in the near future. Any future cash dividend or other dividend declarations are subject to the determination of the Company’s board of directors.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

There were no unregistered sales of our capital stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table sets forth purchases by the Company of its Class A common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2024:

________________________________________

(1)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”). Reflects repurchases made pursuant to the 2024 Share Authorization.

(2)Represents the total number of shares of Class A common stock that remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2024 pursuant to 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 Company management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, share price and future outlook.

From January 1, 2025 through February 7, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any additional shares. As of February 7, 2025, there were approximately 23.1 million shares remaining in the 2024 Share Authorization.

Item 6. Reserved

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

Table of Contents

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.

Operating metrics:

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.

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.

General and administrative expense

Year Ended December 31,

(Dollars in thousands)

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.

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.

2024

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,

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.
