10-Q Financial Filing Analysis for Angi (2026-08-04)

Angi Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, recording total revenue of $248.0 million, an 11% decline compared to $278.2 million in Q2 2025. The revenue contraction was driven by a 12% decrease in U.S. revenue to $215.4 million due to macroeconomic headwinds reducing service professional spend, shifts toward lower-consideration categories, and reduced Network traffic. Profitability was severely affected by non-cash impairment charges of $225.6 million in goodwill and $9.6 million in indefinite-lived trade names within the U.S. reporting unit following a sustained drop in market capitalization. Consequently, operating loss reached $233.7 million and net loss was $230.7 million, down from net income of $10.9 million in the prior-year period. However, Adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $28.2 million.
