Which metrics are most indicative of a return to growth? What are the primary bottlenecks to achieving the 2027 growth target?

Jeff highlights Pro win rate (and inverse Homeowner job completion) and overall Pro capacity growth as key metrics. The main gating factors are penetrating the large Pro market and continuously improving Pro experience and win rates to boost retention and available capacity. “having that Pro capacity is the most important gating thing in terms of growing in the future.”

What factors are contributing to the growth in Pro capacity? How does Angi plan to monetize its new Pro agents, through retention/LTV or a fee model?

Julie explains Pro capacity growth is driven by retaining and acquiring larger Pros, leading to a 13% YoY increase in average per Pro capacity. Jeff discusses agent monetization through improved core product pricing, usage/flat fees (e.g., $50-$100/month), and leveraging existing distribution for low customer acquisition cost. “If I have 30,000 to 40,000 customers at $50 a month, I start to have a decent monthly run rate of revenue.”

How does Angi balance growth and efficiency in consumer marketing? What are the economics and traffic quality of the ChatGPT channel compared to traditional search?

Jeff states a rigorous discipline on marketing ROI, aiming for breakeven on the last dollar spent. TV spend was reduced by $5M-$6M due to inefficiency. ChatGPT is profitable, though not yet as much as Meta or Google due to low volume, and traffic quality/conversion is tracking with other channels. “The economics on ChatGPT are, we're making a nice profit margin. It's not quite as good right now as Meta or Google, but it's also at very low volume in early stage.”

Executive summary

Angi Q2 FY26 — Strategic Replatforming and AI-Driven Growth

Angi Inc. is executing a strategic pivot towards an AI-first single platform and penetrating the large Pro market, aiming for accelerated growth by 2027. Despite a challenging Q2 FY26 with an 11% revenue decline and a $235 million goodwill impairment, the company saw sequential EBITDA growth and positive trends in July. Management is focused on improving Pro win rates and capacity through AI agents and a refined go-to-market strategy, while also addressing capital allocation priorities like bond refinancing.

Highlights

Adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue sequentially from Q1 to Q2 2026, with about 50% flow-through.
Revenue per lead increased by 1% year-over-year due to mix shift from heavily discounted ad products.
Large Pro segment growing over 20% year-over-year, despite less than one-third of fully staffed headcount.
Homeowner Agent (AI Helper) now touching 50% of homeowner traffic, converting at 3x the rate of non-AI traffic.
First Pro agent, AI Front Desk, is live and booking appointments at a solid baseline rate compared to human call centers, with 80% retention in MVP pilot.
Customer Homeowner repeat rate is up 20% over the last couple of quarters.

Concerns

Revenue for Q2 was down 11% year-over-year, driven by network channel shift, stepping back from lower-quality paid marketing, and a material impact from rising oil and gas prices.
U.S. service requests were down 6%, and leads were down 13% year-over-year.
Recorded a non-cash goodwill and trade names impairment charge of $235 million on the U.S. reporting unit due to sustained decline in market capitalization.
Ineffective TV marketing spend of $6 million was reallocated in Q2, with a comparable amount expected in Q3.

Q&A highlights

How should investors model sequential revenue and margin improvements? What is the role of the large Pro segment in achieving the 2027 growth target?

Julie expects modest sequential revenue improvements, with Q3 margin strong but Q4 seasonal decline. Jeff states the large Pro opportunity is core to growth and expects overall growth in 2027 if the strategy is executed, without committing to specific timing.

“if we execute our strategy, we should be growing again sometime in 2027.”

Detailed narrative

Market Opportunity & Strategy

Angi estimates the U.S. home services market at $700 billion, with less than 1.5% flowing through its platform. The core lead business targets $70-$80 billion in Pro customer acquisition spend. Angi aims to be the trusted revenue partner for Pros, targeting both the marketing/lead acquisition market and the Pro software/services market, which are each estimated to be the same size, leading to a $150 billion total addressable market.

Large Pro Segment Penetration

The company sees a 10x opportunity in the large Pro segment by matching its small-to-midsized segment penetration. This segment is growing over 20% YoY with limited headcount. The strategy involves building an enriched target database, expanding the sales team to 30 by year-end, and shifting to an operating partnership model focused on Pro success, which is a better product-market fit for large Pros.

AI-First Single Platform

Angi is in full flight with building and migrating to a new AI-first single platform, freezing the old stack. The Homeowner account experience is live on new technology, and new messaging technology has been implemented. The goal is to finish building and migrating the Homeowner experience by year-end, and the Pro experience platform by Q1 2027, merging international and U.S. systems to simplify and remove friction.

AI Strategy & Agents

Angi's AI strategy focuses on leveraging AI to improve customer experience and success. The Homeowner Agent 1.0 (AI Helper) is touching 50% of homeowner traffic, converting at 3x the rate. The first Pro agent, AI Front Desk, is live, booking appointments, with 80% retention in its MVP pilot.

The company plans to demo the full Pro CRO 1.0 suite, including a receptionist agent, at its Investor Day on November 17.

Traffic Acquisition Landscape

AI is compressing the value of informational searches, impacting unbranded organic search, which is down close to 5% of total service request volume. Angi intends to be present wherever demand forms, including LLMs, and is already spending profitably on ChatGPT ads, reaching a $3 million revenue run rate. The company believes AI increases the value of matching homeowners to the right Pro.

Pro Capacity & Win Rates

Pro capacity, defined as budget available from each Pro, is growing, with average per Pro capacity up 13% YoY, despite nominal Pro count being down. The company's win rates are up roughly 20% from a year ago, improving from 1 in 9 leads to 1 in 6. Improving churn by 25% could hypothetically add 10 points to annual growth rates, driving retention and Pro capacity.
