People Incorporated (PPLI) posts $507.8M profit on MGM gain
People Incorporated reported net earnings attributable to shareholders of $506.9 million for the three months ended June 30 2026, up from $211.5 million, driven mainly by a $721.7 million unrealized gain on its MGM Resorts International investment.
Revenue from continuing operations edged down to $436.7 million for the quarter and $842.5 million for the first half, as stronger Digital growth was offset by lower Print revenue. Operating results remained weak, with a first‑half operating loss of $46.1 million, though Segment Adjusted EBITDA rose to $126.1 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.11 billion, supported by $55.6 million of operating cash flow and $295.7 million of proceeds from the March 2026 sale of Care.com. Long‑term debt totaled $1.43 billion, and the company holds 66.8 million MGM shares valued at $3.19 billion. Management also outlined a $63.0 million restructuring plan and a non‑binding proposal to acquire the remaining MGM shares for $48.30 per share in cash.
Positive
- Net earnings attributable to shareholders reached $506.9 million for the three months ended June 30 2026 and $435.0 million for the first half, largely from a $721.7 million quarterly unrealized gain on the MGM Resorts International stake.
- Cash and restricted cash rose to $1.12 billion at June 30 2026, supported by $55.6 million of operating cash flow from continuing operations and $295.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of Care.com.
- Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased to $126.1 million for the first half of 2026 from $115.6 million a year earlier, with People Inc. Digital Adjusted EBITDA up to $124.5 million from $104.7 million.
Negative
- Despite strong investment gains, core operations generated a first‑half operating loss of $46.1 million, versus operating income of $13.6 million in the prior‑year period.
- Print revenue declined to $270.5 million in the first half of 2026 from $321.5 million a year earlier, and Print Segment Adjusted EBITDA fell to $15.6 million from $30.8 million, highlighting pressure on legacy print businesses.
- The company initiated a restructuring Plan expected to cost about $63.0 million, including $14.0 million of severance and $48.0 million of stock‑based compensation, and recorded a $78.3 million loss on the sale of Care.com.
- Operations of the Search segment ceased after the expiration of the Google services agreement on April 30 2026, and Search, Care.com and Angi are now presented as discontinued operations, reducing ongoing revenue sources.

5 terms
Segment Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization financial
"Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s segment reporting performance measure"
fair value option financial
"accounts for its investment in MGM under the equity method of accounting using the fair value option"
An accounting election that lets a company measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at their current market price, recording gains and losses in the income statement as those prices move. For investors it matters because choosing the fair value option makes reported profits and asset values respond immediately to market swings—like revaluing a house to today’s sale price—so it can increase earnings volatility while giving a more up‑to‑date view of value.
cash flow hedges financial
"designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and applies hedge accounting"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.
discontinued operations financial
"Search, Care.com and Angi are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements"
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss financial
"components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes"
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the running negative total of certain gains and losses that companies record outside their regular profit-and-loss statement, such as changes in the value of some investments, pension adjustments, or currency translation effects. It matters to investors because it reduces shareholders’ equity and reveals economic swings that haven’t affected reported net income yet — like a side ledger showing pending ups and downs that could influence future cash flow or balance-sheet strength.

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company Overview
On June 4, 2026, IAC Inc. changed its name to People Incorporated (NASDAQ: PPLI), which is the owner of publisher, People Inc. Group. People Incorporated also holds a significant minority stake in MGM Resorts International (“MGM”).
On June 30, 2026, Dotdash Meredith Inc. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to change its name to People Inc. Group. As used herein, “People Inc.” refers to People Inc. Group.
As used herein, “People Incorporated,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to People Incorporated and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
Proposed Acquisition of MGM
On June 1, 2026, the Company announced that it submitted a non-binding proposal to the board of directors of MGM to acquire all outstanding shares of MGM that the Company does not already own for $48.30 per share in cash. The Company reserves the right to withdraw or modify the proposal at any time, or to terminate discussions and negotiations at any time in our sole discretion. No legal obligation with respect to our proposal or any other matter will arise unless and until we have executed definitive transaction documentation with MGM.
Corporate Restructuring
On April 28, 2026, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate its corporate functions with those of People Inc. through a reduction in workforce, technology integrations and other cost-saving measures over the coming quarters (the “Plan”). The Plan is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2027.
The total costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Plan are approximately $63.0 million, including approximately $14.0 million in severance and employee separation benefits, $48.0 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million in other costs related to the Plan. The total expected stock-based compensation expense includes approximately $32.0 million of expense associated with awards that were modified to vest in connection with the Plan and $16.0 million of expense associated with awards that accelerate based on the original terms of the award agreements. The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $11.1 million of severance and employee separation benefits, respectively, related to the Plan, net of reversals of $0.5 25.8 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.2 million of other costs related to the Plan. All charges related to the Plan are included in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. At June 30, 2026, $11.1 million in severance and employee separation benefits is accrued related to the Plan, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the balance sheet.
As the Company moves away from its holding company structure and in connection with the Plan, Christopher Halpin will cease to serve as Executive Vice President (“EVP”), Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, and Kendall Handler will cease to serve as EVP and Chief Legal Officer of the Company, in each case, effective August 5, 2026 (the “Separation Effective Date”). Upon the Separation Effective Date, Neil Vogel, who served as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of People Inc., will become CEO of the Company, and Timothy Quinn, who served as the CFO of People Inc., will become CFO of the Company. Mr. Halpin and Ms. Handler have each entered into employment transition agreements with the Company, each dated April 27, 2026, pursuant to which each executive will serve in their respective positions through the Separation Effective Date.

Discontinued Operations
Shutdown of Search Segment
On December 10, 2025, the Company received a notice of non-renewal (the “Notice”) from Google Inc. of the services agreement, dated October 26, 2015 and as subsequently amended (the “Services Agreement”). As a result of the Notice, the Services Agreement was due to expire on March 31, 2026; the Services Agreement was extended through April 30, 2026, at which point the Services Agreement expired. In connection with the expiration of the Services Agreement the Company ceased operations of its Search segment, which are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Sale of Care.com
On March 16, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Care.com, for net proceeds of $300.2 million. In July 2026, the remaining $4.5 million of cash proceeds, which was held in escrow at June 30, 2026, was received by the Company. As a result of the transaction, the consolidated operations of Care.com are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 16, 2026.
Angi Inc. Distribution
On March 31, 2025, the Company completed the spin-off of Angi Inc. (“Angi”) by means of a special dividend (the “Distribution”) of all shares of Angi capital stock held by the Company to holders of its common stock and Class B common stock. Following the Distribution, the Company no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent public company. As a result of the Distribution, the consolidated operations of Angi are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 31, 2025.
See “Note 13—Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements (referred to herein as “financial statements”) in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements include all accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions and balances between entities comprising the Company have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Accounting Estimates
Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions, if applicable, during the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, if applicable, including those related to: the fair value of cash equivalents; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the recoverability of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”); the useful lives and recoverability of buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values; the fair value of interest rate swaps; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and liabilities, including actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, inflation and healthcare costs; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.
General Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from all authorized parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in “Note 6—Segment Information.”
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient available under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money.
In addition, as permitted under the practical expedient available under ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is tied to sales-based or usage-based royalties, allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations, or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
The Company also applies the practical expedient to expense commissions paid pursuant to sales incentive programs as incurred where the anticipated customer relationship period is one year or less.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted by the Company
ASU No. 2024-03—Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which is intended to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information about expenses of a public business entity, primarily through enhanced disclosures of certain components of expenses commonly presented within captions on the statement of operations, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU No. 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and ASU No. 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. ASU No. 2024-03 does not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company plans to apply ASU 2024-03 on a prospective basis and does not plan to early adopt ASU No. 2024-03; the Company is currently assessing its impact on its disclosures.
ASU No. 2025-06—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, which amends the existing standard by removing references to software development project stages and clarifying the criteria for capitalization. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and ASU No. 2025-06 may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or with a modified transition approach. The Company is (i) assessing the timing of its adoption of ASU No. 2025-06, (ii) expects to adopt ASU No. 2025-06 on a prospective basis and (iii) is assessing the impact of its adoption on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Investment in MGM
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||

| Investment in MGM | $ | $ | |||||||||
At June 30, 2026, the Company owns 66.8 million common shares of MGM, including 1.0 million common shares purchased in the first quarter of 2026 for $37.2 million, which represents approximately 26.6 % of MGM's common shares outstanding. The Company accounts for its investment in MGM under the equity method of accounting using the fair value option. The fair value of the investment in MGM is remeasured each reporting period based upon MGM’s closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day in the reporting period; any unrealized pre-tax gains or losses are included in the statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded unrealized pre-tax gains of $721.7 million and $755.7 million, respectively, from its investment in MGM. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain and loss of $307.4 million and $16.8 million, respectively, from its investment in MGM. The cumulative unrealized net pre-tax gain through June 30, 2026 is $1.9 billion. A $2.00 increase or decrease in the share price of MGM would result in an unrealized gain or loss, respectively, of $133.6 million.

On April 3, 2026, the Company entered into a voting agreement with MGM and Barry Diller (the “MGM Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the MGM Voting Agreement, when a matter is brought to a vote at an annual or special MGM shareholder meeting (or by written consent in lieu of a meeting), the Company, Mr. Diller and their controlled affiliates (the “Covered Entities”) will vote the voting securities they beneficially own in excess of 25.73 % of MGM’s total voting power (the “Excess Voting Securities”) in the same proportion as MGM’s other voting shareholders vote on that matter (excluding shareholders who do not vote).
The MGM Voting Agreement automatically terminates upon the earliest of: (a) the Covered Entities collectively ceasing to beneficially own at least 17.5 % of MGM’s outstanding voting securities; (b) the MGM Board’s failure to nominate two directors designated by the Company (if the Company has designated two directors) who qualify under MGM’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Qualified Directors”) to stand for election (the “Nomination Condition”); or (c) a change of control of MGM. If the Company chooses not to designate one or more directors, the MGM Voting Agreement does not terminate. In order to satisfy the Nomination Condition, if at any time the MGM Board has fewer than two Company designated directors, the MGM Board must add Qualified Director(s) within one month of the Company’s designation (subject to required regulatory approvals). At signing, Mr. Diller was deemed designated by the Company to serve on the MGM Board.
Additionally, Mr. Diller and his controlled affiliates (other than the Company and its affiliates, the “Diller Entities”) will cease to be subject to the voting limitation on the Excess Voting Securities and will no longer be considered Covered Entities when both: (i) Mr. Diller no longer serves as the Company’s Chairman or Senior Executive, and (ii) the Diller Entities no longer beneficially own voting securities of the Company representing at least one‑third of the Company’s total voting power.
The following table presents MGM’s summarized financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. As noted above, the Company accounts for its investment in MGM under the equity method of accounting using the fair value option. As a result, the carrying value of our investment and the gain or loss in any given period are not necessarily correlated with the income statement information presented below.

All pre-tax gains and losses on equity securities without readily determinable fair values, realized and unrealized, are recognized in “Other income, net” in the statement of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, ROU assets, buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The Company's financial assets, comprising equity securities without readily determinable fair values, are adjusted to fair value when observable price changes for similar or identical securities are identified or an impairment is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.
Financial instruments measured at fair value only for disclosure purposes
The total fair value of the outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, is estimated using observable market prices or indices for similar liabilities, which are Level 2 inputs, and was approximately $1.35 billion and $1.33 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2025, People Inc. completed the refinancing and replacement of its then outstanding debt, which comprised the then existing term loans, with a combination of new term loans and senior secured notes. People Inc. also replaced its revolving credit facility. As a result of the refinancing and replacement transaction, People Inc. recorded an extinguishment loss of $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2025 to write off a pro-rata amount of unamortized capitalized costs and the original issue discount related to the previously outstanding Term Loans and the then existing revolving credit facility. The extinguishment loss is recorded in “Interest expense” in the statement of operations. Fees incurred of $0.5 million that did not qualify for capitalization are recorded in “Other income, net” in the statement of operations.
On May 14, 2025, People Inc. entered into the Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”), which provided for the (i) $350 million of the Term Loan A-1 (“Term Loan A-1”) and (ii) $150 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) that expires on May 14, 2030. On June 16, 2025, People Inc. entered into the Credit Agreement and Second Amendment to the Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”), which governs the Term Loan A-1, Revolving Facility and provided for the $700 million of the Term Loan B-2 (“Term Loan B-2”). Additionally, on June 16, 2025, People Inc. issued 7.625 % Senior Secured Notes (“2032 Notes”) and entered into an indenture that governs the 2032 Notes (the “Indenture”). The Term Loan A-1 and the Term Loan B-2 are collectively referred to herein as the “Term Loans.”
People Inc. has never borrowed under its revolving credit facilities. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is based on People Inc.’s most recently reported consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the governing agreements, and was 35
As of the last day of any calendar quarter, People Inc. is required to maintain certain consolidated net leverage ratios, as defined in the governing agreements. If defined consolidated net leverage ratios are exceeded or if an event of default has occurred, the governing agreements contain additional covenants that would limit People Inc.’s ability to pay dividends, incur incremental secured indebtedness or make distributions or certain investments. As a result, the Company may not be able to freely access People Inc.’s cash. People Inc.’s consolidated net leverage ratio was in compliance for the test periods ended June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The governing agreements allow the Company to contribute cash to People Inc., which the Company has done in the past and may do so in the future, to provide, among other things, additional liquidity to improve People Inc.’s consolidated net leverage ratios for any test period, which may result in improved interest rates on the Term Loan A-1 and reduced commitment fees on the Revolving Facility. The governing agreements also allow People Inc. to make distributions to the Company in amounts not to exceed these capital contributions, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing. No quarterly contributions have been made to People Inc. since the contribution that the Company made in September 2025, which People Inc. distributed back to the Company in October 2025; therefore, there were no pending contributions or distributions outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In June 2025, the Company contributed $80
The obligations under the governing agreements are secured by substantially all of the assets of People Inc. and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain People Inc. wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the governing agreements, the borrower, People Inc., is required to provide the administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and lenders with certain financial information. See “Note 14—People Inc. Financial Information” for additional information.
Long-term Debt Maturities:
The Term Loan A-1 requires quarterly principal payments of $4.4 million through December 31, 2027, $8.8 million thereafter through December 31, 2028 and $13.1 million thereafter through maturity. The Term Loan B-2 requires quarterly principal payments, which commenced on March 31, 2026, of $1.8 million through maturity. Annually, the Term Loan B-2 may require additional principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which is determined, in part, by People Inc.’s applicable net leverage ratio and is further subject to the excess cash flow exceeding certain thresholds as defined in the governing agreements. No such payment was required on the Term Loan B-2 related to the period ended December 31, 2025.
Any time prior to June 15, 2028, People Inc. may provide notice pursuant to the Indenture to redeem all or a part of the 2032 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed, plus a premium defined in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. Thereafter, the 2032 Notes may be redeemed at the prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Interest Rates and Interest Rate Swaps:
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Term Loan A-1 bore interest at SOFR plus 2.00 5.65 % and 5.73 %, respectively. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Term Loan B-2 bore interest at SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50 3.50 7.12 % and 7.37 %, respectively. Interest payments are due at least quarterly through the respective maturity dates of the Term Loans.
People Inc. holds interest rate swaps that synthetically convert $350 million of the Term Loan B-2 from a variable rate to a fixed rate through April 1, 2027. Should SOFR continue to equal or exceed 0.50 %, then the fixed rate for the Term Loan B-2 will be approximately 7.32 % ((i) the weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 3.82 % on the interest rate swaps and (ii) the base rate of 3.50 %). In the event SOFR becomes less than or equal to 0.50 %, then the interest rate swaps would be fixed in a range from approximately 7.32 % to 7.42 % as determined by the governing agreements.

People Inc. has designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and applies hedge accounting to these contracts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Hedge effectiveness was assessed at the time of entering into the interest rate swaps and it was determined they are expected to be highly effective. People Inc. evaluates the hedge effectiveness of the interest rate swaps quarterly, or more frequently, if necessary, by verifying (i) that the critical terms of the interest rate swaps continue to match the critical terms of the hedged interest payments and (ii) that it is probable the counterparties will not default. If the two requirements are met, the interest rate swaps are determined to be effective and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” As cash flow hedges, the interest rate swaps are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities, with the changes in fair value recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the balance sheet. Realized gains or losses are reclassified into “Interest expense” in the statement of operations. The cash flows related to interest settlements of the hedged monthly interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows, consistent with the interest expense on the related debt instrument. See “Note 5—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for the net unrealized gains and losses before reclassifications in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and realized gains and losses reclassified into “Interest expense” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

NOTE 4—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Voting Agreement
On June 22, 2026, the Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Diller Voting Agreement”) with Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander von Furstenberg (the “Voting Agreement Parties”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Voting Agreement Parties agreed to, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause other affiliated persons and entities to, cause any shares of Company voting securities they beneficially own representing in excess of 48.5 % of the Company's total voting power to be voted in the same proportion as the Company's other voting stockholders (other than the Voting Agreement Parties, certain of their affiliated persons and entities, certain directors and officers of People Incorporated, and immediate family members of the foregoing) on each matter brought before the Company's stockholders at an annual or special meeting or by written consent of Company stockholders. The proportional voting requirement does not apply to certain matters, including matters requiring a separate class vote, unless specified ownership thresholds are met.
The Voting Agreement also provides that the Voting Agreement Parties and certain of their affiliated persons and entities will not initiate or participate in any action by written consent of the Company's stockholders unless directed by an independent committee of disinterested directors of the Company's board of directors.
The Voting Agreement automatically terminates upon the earlier of: (a) the Voting Agreement Parties and their affiliates collectively ceasing to beneficially own at least 30 % of the Company's total voting power; or (b) a change of control of the Company.
Common Stock Repurchases
On June 16, 2026, in connection with the execution of the Voting Agreement, described above, the board of directors of the Company approved an authorization for the Company to repurchase an additional 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2026, the Company has 12.5 million shares remaining under its authorization. Share repurchases can be made over an indefinite period of time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, price and future outlook.

NOTE 6—SEGMENT INFORMATION
The overall concept that the Company employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with the chief operating decision maker’s (“CODM”) view of the businesses. The Office of the Chairman, which is comprised of certain executives and members of the board of directors, is the CODM of the Company. In determining our operating segments, we consider how the businesses are organized as to segment management and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market. In the case of Emerging & Other, operating segments are combined for reporting purposes because they do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate reportable segments.
The following table presents revenue by reportable segment:

(a) Effective January 1, 2026, People Inc. changed its internal management reporting structure to better align and support its D/Cipher advertising capabilities. As a result, the digital portion of a legacy agency business that had previously been included within the People Inc. Print segment now reports to the D/Cipher management team within the People Inc. Digital segment. This change allows D/Cipher to leverage the agency business as a sales channel and to achieve operational and performance efficiencies. As a result of this change, financial information for both the People Inc. Print and Digital segments for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
(b) Intersegment eliminations relate to People Inc. Digital performance marketing commissions earned for the placement of magazine subscriptions.

Segment Reporting Performance Measure and Reconciliations
Adjusted EBITDA is the segment reporting performance measure used by the CODM as one of the metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses and our internal budgets are based and may impact management compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; and (4) other specific items, including subsequent true-up adjustments related to such items, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s core ongoing operating performance and certain items that affect comparability between periods, including, but not limited to, certain (i) restructuring costs, including certain severance and employee separation benefits; (ii) gains and losses from lease impairments, terminations and amendments and certain asset sales; (iii) transaction-related costs; and (iv) litigation-related gains and losses associated with specific matters.
Prior to the second quarter of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. Beginning with the second quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to also exclude (4) other specific items, including subsequent true-up adjustments related to such items, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s core ongoing operating performance and certain items that affect comparability between periods. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Approximately one-half of our consolidated annual Adjusted EBITDA is generated in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. This is due to the concentration of spending by advertisers, which drives higher advertising revenue, and consumer spending, which drives higher performance marketing revenue, during the year-end holiday selling season at People Inc.

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred income tax asset in future years or unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the estimated annual effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of the realization of deferred income tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the Company’s income tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective income tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in income tax provision or benefit in the quarter in which the change occurs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $177.3 million and $167.2 million, respectively, which represents effective income tax rates of 26 % and 25 %, which were higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $74.4 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 28 %, which was higher than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state taxes, a deferred tax adjustment and non-deductible compensation expense, partially offset by the realization of a capital loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 1 %, which was lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to a deferred tax adjustment, non-taxable stock-based compensation expense, which included a reversal due to the forfeiture of our former CEO’s restricted stock award pursuant to the Employment Transition Agreement, and state taxes, partially offset by research credits.
As a result of the Distribution, the Company has allocated to Angi a portion of the tax attributes related to the consolidated federal and state tax filings pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. This allocation requires that the Company’s net deferred income tax liability be adjusted in the year of the Distribution with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The allocation of attributes that was recorded as of December 31, 2025 was preliminary. A subsequent adjustment is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2026 following the filing of income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2025. Further amendments could be required based upon amendments to the Company’s taxable income for periods prior to the Distribution and potential tax audits in the future.
The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The IRS is currently auditing the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2023. Returns filed in various other jurisdictions are open to examination for tax years beginning with 2015. Income taxes payable include unrecognized tax benefits considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from the examination of prior year tax returns. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes and, therefore, may require periodic adjustment. Although management currently believes changes in unrecognized tax benefits from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accruals for interest and penalties are not material.

NOTE 9—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company treats its common stock and Class B common stock as one class of stock for net earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) purposes as both classes of stock participate in earnings, dividends and other distributions on the same basis.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of the Company’s common stock and Class B common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to holders of the Company’s common stock and Class B common stock by the weighted-average number of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding plus dilutive securities during the period.

NOTE 11—CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal and other matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain legal and other matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no accrual is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, and for which the Company cannot estimate a loss or range of loss, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including unrecognized tax benefits and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations and/or financial condition of the Company. See “Note 8—Income Taxes” for information related to unrecognized tax benefits.
People Inc. Ad-Tech Antitrust Litigation against Google
On August 29, 2025, the Company’s People Inc. subsidiary filed an action against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (collectively, “Google”), alleging violations of federal antitrust and state law arising out of anticompetitive practices by Google in the ad-tech industry in connection with the sale of ad inventory for display on People Inc.’s online properties. The lawsuit follows on the Government’s antitrust enforcement action against Google, in which a federal district judge has ruled that Google acquired, maintained, and misused monopoly power in the publisher ad-server and ad-exchange markets, and tied use of its publisher ad-server to use of its ad exchange, in violation of the Sherman Act. People Inc.’s complaint asserts federal antitrust claims for monopolization and attempted monopolization of the publisher ad-server and ad-exchange markets and for unlawful tying in violation of the Sherman Act, as well as various state-law claims, and seeks among other things injunctive relief and damages, including treble damages, in an amount to be determined at trial.
People Inc.’s lawsuit is part of a consolidated multidistrict litigation comprised of similar lawsuits filed by other online publishers, all pending before the same judge in the Southern District of New York. On October 27, 2025, in a ruling in one of the earlier-filed publisher lawsuits, the presiding judge held that Google is precluded from relitigating certain issues decided against it in the Government’s case, including that Google engaged in five separate types of anticompetitive conduct in willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power in the publisher ad-server and ad-exchange markets and that Google unlawfully tied its publisher ad server to its ad exchange in violation of the Sherman Act.
People Inc.’s case is currently in discovery. People Inc. intends to vigorously pursue its claims in this action, but there is no guarantee that its efforts will be successful.

Disputed Gain on Real Estate Transaction
On October 24, 2025, the Company received an adverse jury verdict in a lawsuit related to the allocation of a gain recorded in 2015 related to a real estate transaction. The original gain was $34.3 million and was initially recorded as a non-operating gain in “Other income, net” in the year ended December 31, 2015. The proceeds have been and continue to be held in escrow since the transaction occurred in 2015. The total amount held in escrow at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $39.0 million and $38.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded a net non-operating loss of $19.2 million in “Other income, net” in the statement of operations in the latter half of 2025 following this verdict and the subsequent court ruling that plaintiffs were not entitled to statutory prejudgment interest. The amounts held in escrow, net of the portion allocable to the plaintiffs, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 of $19.4 million and $19.0 million, respectively, are included in “Other current assets” in the balance sheet. The Company’s motion before the trial court to set aside the jury’s verdict remains pending.
NOTE 12—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
People Incorporated and Expedia Group
At June 30, 2026, the Company and Expedia Group each have a 50 % ownership interest in two aircraft that may be used by both companies. Members of the aircraft flight crews are employed by an entity in which the Company and Expedia Group each have a 50 % ownership interest. Historically, the Company and Expedia Group allocated fixed costs, including flight crew compensation and benefits, 50 % to each company and shared variable costs pro-rata according to each company’s respective usage of the aircraft, for which they were separately billed by the entity described above. In December of 2025, the Company and Expedia Group amended their cost sharing arrangement to reflect the allocation of all costs on a pro-rata basis according to each company’s respective usage of the aircraft, with the exception of costs related to flights taken by Mr. Diller, of which each of the Company and Expedia Group continue to be responsible for 50 %. The Company and Expedia Group are related parties because Mr. Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both the Company and Expedia Group. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the payments made to this entity by the Company were not material.
Expedia Group has had the use of an aircraft owned 100 % by a subsidiary of the Company on a cost basis until the sale of such aircraft during the fourth quarter of 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the payments made by Expedia Group to the Company pursuant to this arrangement were not material.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company and Expedia Group entered into an arrangement to share security costs for Mr. Diller, with each company responsible for 50 % of such costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, amounts pursuant to this arrangement were not material.
Expedia Group occupies office space in the Company’s New York City headquarters building. The total payments pursuant to this lease agreement, which expires September 2029, are not material.
Voting Agreements
On April 3, 2026, the Company entered into the MGM Voting Agreement. See “Note 2—Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.
On June 22, 2026, the Company entered into the Diller Voting Agreement. See “Note 4—Shareholders' Equity” for additional information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
Management Overview
On June 4, 2026, IAC Inc. changed its name to People Incorporated (NASDAQ: PPLI), which is the owner of publisher, People Inc. Group. People Incorporated also holds a significant minority stake in MGM Resorts International (“MGM”).
On June 30, 2026, Dotdash Meredith Inc. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to change its name to People Inc. Group. As used herein, “People Inc.” refers to People Inc. Group.
As used herein, “People Incorporated,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to People Incorporated and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
For a more detailed description of the Company’s operating businesses, see “Description of IAC Businesses” included in “Item 1—Business” to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
Proposed Acquisition of MGM
On June 1, 2026, the Company announced that it submitted a non-binding proposal to the board of directors of MGM to acquire all outstanding shares of MGM that the Company does not already own for $48.30 per share in cash. The Company reserves the right to withdraw or modify the proposal at any time, or to terminate discussions and negotiations at any time in our sole discretion. No legal obligation with respect to our proposal or any other matter will arise unless and until we have executed definitive transaction documentation with MGM.
Corporate Restructuring
On April 28, 2026, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate its corporate functions with those of People Inc. through a reduction in workforce, technology integrations and other cost-saving measures over the coming quarters (the “Plan”). The Plan is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2027.
The total costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Plan are approximately $63.0 million, including approximately $14.0 million in severance and employee separation benefits, $48.0 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million in other costs related to the Plan. The total expected stock-based compensation expense includes approximately $32.0 million of expense associated with awards that were modified to vest in connection with the Plan and $16.0 million of expense associated with awards that accelerate based on the original terms of the award agreements. The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $11.1 million of severance and employee separation benefits, respectively, related to the Plan, net of reversals of$0.5 million of previously recorded accrued costs. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $25.8 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.2 million of other costs related to the Plan. All charges related to the Plan are included in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. At June 30, 2026, $11.1 million in severance and employee separation benefits is accrued related to the Plan, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the balance sheet.

Table of Contents
As the Company moves away from its holding company structure and in connection with the Plan, Christopher Halpin will cease to serve as Executive Vice President (“EVP”), Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, and Kendall Handler will cease to serve as EVP and Chief Legal Officer of the Company, in each case, effective August 5, 2026 (the “Separation Effective Date”). Upon the Separation Effective Date, Neil Vogel, who served as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of People Inc., will become CEO of the Company, and Timothy Quinn, who served as the CFO of People Inc., will become CFO of the Company. Mr. Halpin and Ms. Handler have each entered into employment transition agreements with the Company, each dated April 27, 2026, pursuant to which each executive will serve in their respective positions through the Separation Effective Date.
People Inc. Change to Composition of Operating Segments
Effective January 1, 2026, People Inc. changed its internal management reporting structure to better align and support its D/Cipher advertising capabilities. As a result, the digital portion of a legacy agency business that had previously been included within the People Inc. Print segment now reports to the D/Cipher management team within the People Inc. Digital segment. This change allows D/Cipher to leverage the agency business as a sales channel and to achieve operational and performance efficiencies. As a result of this change, financial information for both the People Inc. Print and Digital segments for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Discontinued Operations
Shutdown of Search Segment
On December 10, 2025, the Company received a notice of non-renewal (the “Notice”) from Google Inc. of the services agreement, dated October 26, 2015 and as subsequently amended (the “Services Agreement”). As a result of the Notice, the Services Agreement was due to expire on March 31, 2026; the Services Agreement was extended through April 30, 2026, at which point the Services Agreement expired. In connection with the expiration of the Services Agreement the Company ceased operations of its Search segment, which are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Sale of Care.com
On March 16, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Care.com, for net proceeds of $300.2 million. In July 2026, the remaining $4.5 million of cash proceeds, which was held in escrow at June 30, 2026, was received by the Company. As a result of the transaction, the consolidated operations of Care.com are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 16, 2026.
Angi Inc. Distribution
On March 31, 2025, the Company completed the spin-off of Angi Inc. (“Angi”) by means of a special dividend (the “Distribution”) of all shares of Angi capital stock held by the Company to holders of its common stock and Class B common stock. Following the Distribution, the Company no longer owns any shares of Angi’s capital stock and Angi became an independent public company. As a result of the Distribution, the consolidated operations of Angi are presented as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025
•People Inc. revenue decreased $10.7 million, or 2%, to $416.7 million, despite the increase of $14.9 million, or 6%, from Digital, net of intersegment eliminations, due to a decrease of $25.6 million, or 16%, from Print.
◦The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $8.9 million, or 23%, in Licensing and Other revenue and $6.7 million, or 12%, in Performance marketing revenue, net of intersegment eliminations, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in Advertising revenue. The increase in Licensing and Other revenue was due primarily to improved performance of Apple News+ and content syndication partners and from the contribution of a content partnership with Meta that was signed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in Performance marketing revenue was due primarily to an increase in affiliate commerce commission revenue due primarily to higher transaction volumes. Advertising revenue decreased slightly due primarily to lower premium programmatic volume, partially offset by direct-sold advertising growth primarily from the Health and Pharmaceuticals, Media and Entertainment and Beauty and Style categories, higher open programmatic advertising revenue, other Non-session-based revenue, including the contribution from the acquisition of Feedfeed, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2025, and increased contribution from the D/Cipher+ advertising product. Open programmatic advertising revenue increased due primarily to higher programmatic rates, partially offset by lower impression volumes driven by a 22% decline in Core Sessions, due primarily to the impact of the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews on Google search sessions. The Company expects the increasing prominence of Google AI Overviews to continue to negatively impact Core Sessions and advertising revenue.
◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $15.2 million, or 21%, in subscription revenue, $7.1 million, or 19%, in advertising revenue, $1.7 million, or 11%, in project and other revenue and $1.2 million, or 5%, in newsstand revenue. The decreases in both subscription revenue and advertising revenue are due to ongoing portfolio optimization changes that resulted in a reduction in the number of issues sold in the current year compared to the prior year and the ongoing and continuing broader migration of audience from print to digital platforms. The decrease in project and other revenue was due primarily to fewer project-related contracts compared to the prior year. The decrease in newsstand revenue was due primarily to less favorable rates under a renewed contract with a wholesaler.
•Emerging & Other revenue increased $4.2 million, or 26%, to $20.0 million due primarily to increases of $3.0 million, or 53%, from The Daily Beast and $1.2 million, or 12%, from Vivian Health. The increase in revenue from The Daily Beast was driven by content licensing, advertising and subscription revenue growth. The increase in revenue from Vivian Health was due to higher subscription and usage revenue, due in part to the contribution from its AI Assistant subscription product launched in fourth quarter of 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025
•People Inc. revenue decreased $18.0 million, or 2%, to $802.4 million, despite the increase of $33.0 million, or 7%, from Digital, net of intersegment eliminations, due to a decrease of $51.1 million, or 16%, from Print.
◦The Digital increase was due primarily to increases of $17.2 million, or 24%, in Licensing and Other revenue, $14.9 million, or 14%, in Performance marketing revenue, net of intersegment eliminations, and $0.9 million in advertising revenue. The increases in Licensing and Other revenue and Performance marketing revenue were due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion. The increase in Performance marketing revenue was further impacted by the achievement of certain volume-related retailer incentive programs. The increase in advertising revenue was due primarily to growth in direct-sold premium advertising from the Health and Pharmaceuticals, Beauty and Style and Media and Entertainment categories, increased contribution from the D/Cipher+ advertising product and other Non-session-based revenue, partially offset by lower premium programmatic volume.
◦The Print decrease was due primarily to decreases of $28.1 million, or 19%, in subscription revenue, $14.7 million, or 20%, in advertising revenue, $4.1 million, or 13%, in project and other revenue and $2.7 million, or 20%, in performance marketing revenue. The decreases in subscription revenue, advertising revenue, and project and other revenue are all due, in part, to the factors described above in the three-month discussion. The decrease in performance marketing revenue was due to a decrease in renewals following the discontinuation of certain retail relationships.
•Emerging & Other revenue increased $6.0 million, or 17%, to $40.1 million due primarily to increases of $5.2 million, or 44%, from The Daily Beast and $2.1 million, or 10%, from Vivian Health, partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $1.4 million, or 74%, from IAC Films. The increase in revenue from The Daily Beast and Vivian Health was due primarily to the factors described above in the three-month discussion.

Approximately one-half of our consolidated annual Adjusted EBITDA is generated in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. This is due to the concentration of spending by advertisers, which drives higher advertising revenue, and consumer spending, which drives higher performance marketing revenue, during the year-end holiday selling season at People Inc.

PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is also our primary segment measure of profitability and among the metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, and our internal budgets are based and may also impact management compensation. We believe that investors and analysts 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. The Company endeavors 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 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; and (4) other specific items, including subsequent true-up adjustments related to such items, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s core ongoing operating performance and certain items that affect comparability between periods, including, but not limited to, certain (i) restructuring costs, including certain severance and employee separation benefits; (ii) gains and losses from lease impairments, terminations and amendments and certain asset sales; (iii) transaction-related costs; and (iv) litigation-related gains and losses associated with specific matters.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are noncash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core operating results and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s performance and facilitate comparisons of the Company’s operating results between periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analysts and investors to evaluate our future on-going performance as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison of our performance and projected cash earnings with our historical results from prior periods and to the results of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these items.
Prior to the second quarter of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, and (ii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. Beginning with the second quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to also exclude (4) other specific items, including subsequent true-up adjustments related to such items, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s core ongoing operating performance and certain items that affect comparability between periods. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Items Excluded from Our Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with awards that were granted under various stock and annual incentive plans that are denominated in the Company’s common shares. This expense is not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; the related shares are included in our fully diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company currently settles all stock-based awards on a net basis whereby the Company remits from its current funds the required tax-withholding on behalf of employees for net-settled awards.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software 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.

Table of Contents
Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company 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.
Gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are accounting adjustments to report liabilities for the portion of the purchase price of acquisitions, if applicable, that is contingent upon the financial performance and/or operating targets of the acquired company at fair value that are recognized in “General and administrative expense” in the statement of operations. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business. The last such arrangement expired during the year ended December 31, 2022. Therefore, there were no gains or losses on contingent consideration arrangements in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Restructuring costs, including certain severance and employee separation benefits relate to certain discrete strategic actions taken by the Company to improve operating efficiencies and to better align its cost structure. Ordinary course severance and employee separation benefits are not considered restructuring costs.
Gains and losses from lease impairments, terminations and amendments and certain asset sales relate to certain activity to surrender leased space prior to its original lease expiration and the sale of certain assets. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance.
Transaction-related costs reflect third-party costs incurred in connection with acquisitions, dispositions and spinoffs that are not part of the Company’s core operating activities.
Litigation matters reflect settlements, judgments, insurance recoveries and related third-party legal costs arising from certain litigation matters, including gains and losses that management determines, based on their nature and circumstances, are outside of the ordinary course of business and not representative of the Company’s core ongoing operating performance.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities attributable to continuing operations consists of net earnings (loss) attributable to continuing operations adjusted for non-cash items and the effect of changes in working capital. Non-cash adjustments include the unrealized (gain) loss on the investment in MGM, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes, non-cash lease expense (including ROU asset impairments), net gains on amendments and early terminations of lease agreements, net downward adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and net gains on sales of investments and businesses and gain on sale of an unutilized domain name in 2026.

Table of Contents
2026
Adjustments to net earnings attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of an unrealized gain on the investment in MGM of $755.7 million and gain on sale of an unutilized domain name of $7.5 million, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $166.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $51.4 million, amortization of intangibles of $38.1 million, non-cash lease expense of $15.1 million, depreciation of $14.8 million and net downward adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and net gains on sales of investments of $4.6 million. The changes in working capital include a decrease in accounts receivable of $77.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $40.0 million and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $23.4 million. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2026 relative to the fourth quarter of 2025 at People Inc. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due primarily to a decrease in accrued employee compensation, due primarily to timing of payments, including the payment of 2025 bonuses in 2026, partially offset by an increase in accrued severance and employee separation benefits related to the reduction in workforce as the Company consolidates its corporate functions with those of People Inc., and a decrease in accrued advertising at People Inc. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases, including the final remaining payment of $4.3 million related to an amendment of a lease in the prior year, which provided for the surrender of certain office space early at People Inc., net of interest accretion.
Net cash provided by investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes net proceeds from the sale of Care.com of $295.7 million and proceeds from the sale of an unutilized domain name of $7.5 million, partially offset by the purchase of 1.0 million common shares of MGM for $37.2 million and capital expenditures of $19.1 million.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $133.3 million for the repurchase of 3.5 million shares of common stock, on a settlement date basis, at an average price of $37.88 per share, withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net settled stock-based awards of $19.5 million and principal payments on the Term Loans of $12.3 million, partially offset by a distribution from Angi Inc. pursuant to the tax sharing agreement of $8.5 million.
2025
Adjustments to net loss attributable to continuing operations consist primarily of amortization of intangibles of $44.8 million, net downward adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and net gains on sales of investments and businesses of $18.8 million, depreciation of $18.5 million, non-cash lease expense (including ROU asset impairments) of $17.0 million and an unrealized loss on the investment in MGM of $16.8 million, partially offset by net gains on amendments and early terminations of lease agreements of $36.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $3.1 million and deferred income taxes of $2.6 million. The changes in working capital include a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $63.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $29.0 million, an increase in other assets of $26.5 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $5.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $67.2 million. The decrease in operating lease liabilities is due to cash payments on leases, including $43.1 million related to an amendment of a lease, which provided for the surrender of certain office space early at People Inc., net of interest accretion. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities is due, in part, to a decrease in accrued employee compensation, due primarily to payment of 2024 bonuses in 2025 and a decrease at People Inc. due to severance payments, partially offset by the accrual of separation benefits to our former CEO under the Employment Transition Agreement, and a decrease in accrued interest on People Inc.’s long-term debt due to timing of payments following the Term Loans refinancing completed in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by an increase in a liability related to the settlement of a legal matter. The increase in other assets is due primarily to a receivable related to insurance coverage for the aforementioned legal matter, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid hosting services at People Inc. The decrease in deferred revenue is due primarily to the timing of shipments of certain magazine titles at People Inc. The decrease in accounts receivable is due primarily to a decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2025 relative to the fourth quarter of 2024 at People Inc.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations includes $386.6 million related to the allocation of Angi Inc.’s cash in the Distribution and capital expenditures of $8.2 million, partially offset by net proceeds from the sales of investments of $9.9 million and proceeds from the sale of a portion of the retirement investment fund of $8.5 million at People Inc.
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations includes principal payments on the Term Loans of $1.4 billion and debt issuance and deferred financing costs of $9.9 million, partially offset by the net proceeds from the Term Loans refinancing of $991.5 million and proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Notes of $400.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities attributable to continuing operations also includes $200.0 million for the repurchase of 4.5 million shares of common stock, on a settlement date basis, for an average price of $44.56 per share, and withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees for net settled stock-based awards of $54.6 million.

Table of Contents
Discontinued Operations
Net cash used in discontinued operations of $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 relates to the operations of Care.com and Search and the net cash provided by discontinued operations of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the operations of Care.com, Search and Angi. The Company does not expect significant future cash flows to be used in or provided by its discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financing Arrangements
At June 30, 2026, the Term Loan A-1 bore interest at SOFR plus 2.00%, or 5.65% and the Term Loan B-2 bore interest at SOFR, subject to a minimum of 0.50%, plus 3.50%, or 7.12%.
People Inc. holds interest rate swaps that synthetically convert $350 million of the Term Loan B-2 from a variable rate to a fixed rate through April 1, 2027. Should SOFR continue to equal or exceed 0.50%, then the fixed rate for the Term Loan B-2 will be approximately 7.32% ((i) the weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 3.82% on the interest rate swaps and (ii) the base rate of 3.50%). In the event SOFR becomes less than or equal to 0.50%, then the interest rate swaps would be fixed in a range from approximately 7.32% to 7.42% as determined by the governing agreements.
For a detailed description of long-term debt and interest rate swaps, see “Note 3—Long-term Debt” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Investment in MGM
At June 30, 2026, the Company owns 66.8 million common shares of MGM, including 1.0 million common shares purchased in the first quarter of 2026 for $37.2 million, which represents approximately 26.6% of MGM's common shares outstanding.
Investment in Turo
At June 30, 2026, the Company’s ownership interest in Turo is approximately 33%.
Share Repurchase Activity and Authorization
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares of its common stock, on a trade date basis, at $37.86 per share, or $132.2 million in aggregate, under the 10 million share repurchase authorization approved by the board of directors of the Company on March 16, 2025. On June 16, 2026, the board of directors of the Company approved an authorization for the Company to repurchase an additional 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock. At July 31, 2026, the Company has 12.5 million shares remaining under its authorization.
Share repurchases can be made over an indefinite period of time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on those factors management deems relevant at any particular time, including, without limitation, market conditions, price and future outlook.
Contractual Obligations
At June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations disclosures as previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
Capital Expenditures
The Company anticipates that it will need to continue to make capital expenditures in connection with the development and expansion of its operations. The Company’s 2026 capital expenditures are expected to be higher than its 2025 capital expenditures of $17.7 million by approximately 60% to 70%, due primarily to leasehold improvements primarily related to the optimization of the remaining space under certain amended leases.

Liquidity Assessment
On a consolidated basis, the Company generated positive cash flows from operating activities of $55.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026; excluding the positive cash flows from operating activities of $97.6 million generated by People Inc., the Company generated negative cash flows from operating activities of $42.0 million.
At June 30, 2026, the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 billion, of which $330.3 million was held by People Inc., and the consolidated debt at June 30, 2026 of approximately $1.4 billion is solely the liability of People Inc. If defined consolidated net leverage ratios are exceeded or if an event of default has occurred, the governing agreements contain additional covenants that would limit People Inc.’s ability to pay dividends, incur incremental secured indebtedness or make distributions or certain investments. As a result, the Company may not be able to freely access People Inc.’s cash. People Inc.’s consolidated net leverage ratio was in compliance for the test period ended June 30, 2026.
The governing agreements allow the Company to contribute cash to People Inc., which the Company has done in the past and may do so in the future, to provide, among other things, additional liquidity to improve People Inc.’s consolidated net leverage ratios for any test period, which may result in improved interest rates on the Term Loan A-1 and reduced commitment fees on the Revolving Facility. The governing agreements also allow People Inc. to make distributions to the Company in amounts not to exceed these capital contributions, provided that no default has occurred and is continuing. No quarterly contributions have been made to People Inc. since the contribution that the Company made in September 2025, which People Inc. distributed back to the Company in October 2025; therefore, there were no pending contributions or distributions outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Company’s liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for its products and services resulting from adverse market, macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions, including declines in consumer confidence or spending, high or volatile interest rates, inflationary pressures, labor market disruptions or other factors that reduce customers’ willingness or ability to pay for our offerings.
The Company believes People Inc.’s existing cash, cash equivalents and expected positive cash flows from operations, and the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, excluding People Inc., will be sufficient to fund their respective normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, debt service, the payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees for net-settled stock-based awards and investing and other commitments for the next twelve months, and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The Company may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing to refinance its existing capital structure and make acquisitions and investments. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and may also be impacted by any disruptions or volatility in the financial markets. The indebtedness at People Inc. could further limit the Company’s ability to raise additional financing.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Equity Price Risk
At June 30, 2026, the Company owns 66.8 million common shares of MGM Resorts International (“MGM”). The Company accounts for its investment in MGM under the equity method of accounting and has elected to account for this investment using the fair value option.
The cumulative unrealized net pre-tax gain at June 30, 2026 is $1.9 billion. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in MGM, which includes the cumulative unrealized pre-tax gains, was $3.2 billion and $2.4 billion, or approximately 42% and 33% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, respectively. A $2.00 increase or decrease in the share price of MGM would result in an unrealized gain or loss, respectively, of $133.6 million. At July 31, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s investment in MGM was $3.0 billion. The Company’s results of operations and financial condition have in the past been and may in the future be materially impacted by increases or decreases in the price of MGM common shares.
See “Note 2—Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2026, the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding debt totals $1.43 billion. The $1.03 billion principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 due May 14, 2030 (“Term Loan A-1”) and the Term Loan B-2 due June 16, 2032 (“Term Loan B-2”) bear interest at variable rates based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”).
People Inc. holds interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk with a total notional amount of $350 million, which will mature on April 1, 2027. The interest rate swaps synthetically convert a portion of the Term Loan B-2 from a variable rate to a fixed rate. People Inc. applies hedge accounting to these contracts. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using discounted cash flows derived from observable market prices, including swap curves, and represents what People Inc. would pay or receive to terminate the swap agreements. People Inc. intends to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, however, if these interest rate swaps were not highly effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps used as hedges could have a significant impact on future results of operations.
If SOFR were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the combined annual interest expense on the Term Loan A-1 and the Term Loan B-2, net of the impact related to the $350 million in notional amount of interest rate swaps, would increase or decrease by $7.5 million.
See “Note 3—Long-term Debt” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management, including our Chairman and Senior Executive and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chairman and Senior Executive and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
The Company monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its internal control over financial reporting in order to improve its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, the Company modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, People Incorporated and its subsidiaries are (or may become) parties to litigation involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property and other claims, as well as shareholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The amounts that may be recovered in such matters may be subject to insurance coverage.
See “Note 11—Contingencies” in the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in “Item 1—Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to a previous lawsuit related to the allocation of a gain recorded in 2015 related to a real estate transaction.
People Inc. Ad-Tech Antitrust Litigation against Google
On August 29, 2025, the Company’s People Inc. subsidiary filed an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (collectively, “Google”), alleging violations of federal antitrust and state law arising out of anticompetitive practices by Google in the ad-tech industry in connection with the sale of ad inventory for display on People Inc.’s online properties. See Dotdash Meredith Inc. a/k/a People Inc. et ano. v. Google LLC et ano., No. 1:25-cv-7194 (S.D.N.Y.). The lawsuit follows on the Government’s antitrust enforcement action against Google in the digital advertising technology space, in which a federal district judge has ruled that Google acquired, maintained, and misused monopoly power in the publisher ad-server and ad-exchange markets, and tied use of its publisher ad-server to use of its ad exchange, in violation of the Sherman Act. See United States v. Google LLC, No. 1:23-cv-108 (E.D. Va.) (Apr. 17, 2025 Mem. Op.). People Inc.’s complaint asserts federal antitrust claims for monopolization and attempted monopolization of the publisher ad-server and ad-exchange markets and for unlawful tying in violation of the Sherman Act, as well as claims of deceptive acts or practices in violation of the New York General Business Law and claims of common-law fraud and unjust enrichment, and seeks among other things declaratory and injunctive relief and damages, including treble damages, in an amount to be determined at trial.
People Inc.’s lawsuit is part of a consolidated multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) comprised of similar lawsuits filed by other online publishers, all pending before the same judge in the Southern District of New York. See In re Google Digital Advertising Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:21-md-3010 (S.D.N.Y.) (Castel, J.). On October 27, 2025, in a ruling in one of the earlier-filed publisher lawsuits in the MDL, the court held that Google is precluded from relitigating certain issues previously decided against it in the Government’s case, including (i) that publisher ad servers and ad exchanges are separate, distinct, and worldwide markets for antitrust purposes, (ii) that Google engaged in five separate types of anticompetitive conduct in willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power in those markets, and (iii) that Google unlawfully tied its publisher ad server to its ad exchange in violation of the Sherman Act.
On November 24, 2025, Google filed a motion to dismiss the state-law claims (but not the federal antitrust claims) in People Inc.’s complaint. People Inc. opposed the motion, which remains pending. Fact discovery in the case is substantially complete, and the parties are preparing for expert discovery. People Inc. intends to vigorously pursue its claims in this action, but there is no guarantee that its efforts will be successful.

Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our annual report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we may make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this quarterly report.
Risk Factors
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Annual Report. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under the caption Part I-Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Annual Report, any or all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our strategic initiatives may not be successful
Our long-term strategy may include, from time to time, evaluating and pursuing a range of strategic actions and initiatives, including expansion into product lines beyond our traditional digital and print publishing businesses, changes to our operating or organizational structure, adjustments to investment priorities, directional strategy, cost structure or capital allocation, and the acquisition, minority investment in, merger with, or divestiture or separation of certain businesses. These types of strategic actions and initiatives, if undertaken, may involve financial, managerial, and operational considerations, including, among others:
•the diversion of management attention from the operation of our existing businesses;
81
Table of Contents
•incremental expenses, including legal, administrative, restructuring, and compensation costs, that may arise in connection with evaluating or implementing such actions or initiatives, including costs related to hiring or terminating employees;
•costs associated with integrating, developing, scaling, repositioning, or, in the case of a divestiture or separation, separating technology, personnel, customer relationships, and business processes;
•potential exposure to liabilities or operational challenges that may not be identified during planning or due diligence; and
•potential effects on reported results of operations, including possible impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets.
Any strategic initiative, business, technology, service, or product that we may pursue, acquire, invest in, reposition, or divest may not perform as anticipated or deliver the expected benefits. In addition, from time to time we may allocate capital to share repurchases or other capital return initiatives, which may not achieve the desired results, including with respect to enhancing long-term stockholder value. Accordingly, any future strategic initiatives, operational decisions, or capital allocation actions we may consider could involve risks or uncertainties that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
On June 1, 2026, we announced that we had submitted a non-binding proposal to the board of directors of MGM to acquire all outstanding shares of MGM that we do not already own for $48.30 per share in cash. We do not yet know the outcome of our proposal. However, any such transaction will be subject to all of the risks discussed above.
