AI Insight: PPLI Financial Trends
IAC's revenue has collapsed 57% from Q4 2024's $989M peak to $423M in Q1 2026, with operating losses deepening to -$113M in Q4 2025 — structural decline, not a blip.
• Revenue dropped sharply from $989M in Q4 2024 to $423M in Q1 2026, a 57% decline over five quarters.
• Operating income swung from $48M in Q4 2024 to -$113M in Q4 2025, then -$40M in Q1 2026 — persistent losses.
• Total debt fell from $2,015M in Q4 2024 to $1,420M in Q1 2026, reducing leverage as assets were divested.
• Equity declined from $6,008M in Q2 2024 to $4,549M in Q1 2026, eroding shareholder book value steadily.
⚠ Q1 2026 revenue of $423M is the lowest in the visible dataset — monitor whether revenue stabilizes or continues declining.
⚠ Operating CF data is absent from Q1 2025 onward; cash generation visibility is severely limited.
⚠ Q2 2025's $211M net income was the only profitable quarter shown — driven by one-time items, not recurring operations.
AI Insight: PPLI Ratio Trends
IAC's operating margin collapsed to -17.5% in Q4 2025 and remains deeply negative at -9.5% in Q1 2026, erasing a brief profitability window in late 2024.
• Operating margin swung from a peak of 6.3% in Q1 2025 to -17.5% in Q4 2025 — a 23.8pp deterioration in three quarters.
• ROIC turned sharply negative at -7.3% in Q4 2025, the worst reading in the dataset, recovering only modestly to -2.7% in Q1 2026.
• The Q2 2025 NPM spike to 36.0% with ROE of 17.2% appears to be a one-off gain, not a sustainable earnings inflection.
• Leverage (D/E) has remained relatively stable, ranging 0.30–0.36 across all periods, showing no meaningful deterioration.
⚠ Operating margin has been negative in five of the last six quarters — watch for any structural revenue or cost catalyst to break this pattern.
⚠ TTM NPM of 1.8% vs. Q1 2026 quarterly NPM of -17.0% signals the Q2 2025 one-off is masking persistent core losses.
⚠ D/E stability at ~0.31 limits near-term balance sheet risk, but continued operating losses could pressure this floor.
