**IAC Inc. Reports Fiscal Year Performance, Highlights Strategic Shifts**
IAC Inc. (NASDAQ: IAC) has released its 10-K filing, detailing the company's financial performance and strategic activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The company reported total revenue of $2.39 billion, a decrease of 9% compared to the $2.62 billion reported in the previous fiscal year. This decline was attributed primarily to a significant decrease in revenue from the Search segment, which fell by 45% to $212.9 million, and a 6% decrease in Care.com revenue to $347.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by a slight increase in People Inc. revenue, which decreased by 1% to $1.76 billion.
The company's operating loss increased significantly to $97.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $28.7 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to a $207.5 million goodwill impairment charge at Care.com. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased by 18% to $273.0 million, compared to $231.8 million in the previous year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by People Inc., which saw a 21% increase to $357.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, IAC Inc. held $960.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, with $284.3 million held by People Inc. and $675.9 million held by IAC excluding People Inc.
Strategic developments during the year included the spin-off of Angi Inc. on March 31, 2025, which resulted in Angi's operations being classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, People Inc. completed the refinancing and replacement of its Term Loan B-1 with a combination of Term Loan B-2 and Senior Secured Notes, resulting in a net decrease in debt of $21.3 million. The company also repurchased 7.7 million shares of its common stock for $316.1 million. People Inc. was rebranded from Dotdash Meredith Inc. on July 31, 2025.
Key operational developments included a 10% decrease in total sessions for People Inc.'s digital business, attributed to the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews. Care.com experienced a decrease in consumer revenue due to a decline in subscriptions. The Search segment's revenue decline was primarily due to Google algorithm changes and policy updates, as well as revised terms of the Services Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, IAC Inc. had approximately 5,156 employees. The company faces uncertainty regarding the renewal of its Services Agreement with Google, which is set to expire on March 31, 2026.
