IAC Turns Q3 Profit Of $ .34 Per Share
Barry Diller’s IAC turned a profit for the second quarter in a row, this time of $.34 per share or $46.3 million, despite a 9% drop in revenue.
Media & Advertising sustained an 11% drop in revenue while Emerging Businesses (aka The Daily Beast) watched revenues fall 19%.
Ironically, the revenue declines in Media & Advertising, including at IAC’s Ask.com, are a result of a redesign that makes Ask.com more efficient.
