IAC subsidiary updates financial obligations post-merger

In a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, IAC Inc. (NASDAQ:IAC) disclosed financial statements related to its subsidiary, Dotdash Meredith (NYSE:MDP) Inc., following a series of corporate restructurings and amendments to its credit agreement. According to InvestingPro data, IAC maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 2.8 and generated $3.8 billion in revenue over the last twelve months.

On March 1, 2024, Dotdash Meredith Inc. assumed all obligations of the original borrower under a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) Bank, N.A., after a merger into a directly wholly-owned subsidiary. This move was part of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger, which saw the original borrower merge into what is now termed the "Successor Borrower." InvestingPro analysis shows IAC operates with a moderate debt level, maintaining a healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.43.

The filing also detailed an Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, enacted on November 26, 2024. This amendment required the Successor Borrower to furnish JPMorgan and other lenders with financial statements. Consequently, today, IAC Inc. has provided the necessary financial documentation, which includes the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, along with related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years ending on December 31 for 2024, 2023, and 2022. While currently not profitable, analysts tracked by InvestingPro project the company will return to profitability this year, with an EPS forecast of $1.67 for FY2025.

This financial information, as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 of the 8-K filing, is being furnished under Regulation FD Disclosure. It offers a transparent view of Dotdash Meredith Inc.’s financial position and performance over the past three years, which could be of particular interest to investors and analysts following IAC Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The 8-K filing serves as a formal declaration of these financial facts and is based on a press release statement. It is part of IAC’s commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency in its financial reporting.

In other recent news, IAC/InterActiveCorp reported a significant miss in its Q4 2024 earnings, with an earnings per share (EPS) of -2.39 compared to the forecasted 0.16. Despite this, the company’s revenue for the quarter was $989.3 million, exceeding expectations of $936.66 million. The market’s positive reaction might be attributed to strong cash flow generation and strategic initiatives highlighted during the earnings call. IAC generated $352 million in cash flow during 2024, which could be a factor in investor optimism.
