IAC Profits Go Missing

Barry Diller 1.jpgLucky IAC chairman Barry Diller. Unlike everyone else, he can blame a poor quarter on more than just the economy. There's also IAC's (IACI) messy corporate divorce, which finally completed last quarter.

The post spin-off IAC -- made up of more than 35 companies -- this morning reported $369.3 million third quarter revenues, up 10% from a year ago. Profits, however, disappeared as IAC reported a $14.8 million loss, blaming "charges, spin-off expenses and taxes related to discontinued operations."

Slowed media and advertising spending didn't help either, growing only 2% over last year's third quarter, from $189.8 million to $193.3 million. IAC's emerging businesses -- including Tina Brown's The Daily Beast and the College Humor guys -- cost the company $7.4 million, less than the $9.9 million loss they incurred last year.
