Nov. 04, 2021

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 04, 2021--Expedia Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"Despite continued volatility in the travel recovery, Expedia Group's net income and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter nearly matched our Q3 2019 levels driven by the superior performance from Vrbo and domestic travel along with improvements across virtually all lines of business. With early positive signs in Q4 and many countries announcing new openings to international travelers, we are feeling increasingly confident about a continued recovery," said Peter Kern, Vice Chairman and CEO, Expedia Group. "We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary of forever changing travel. And as we come out of Covid, we are committed to once again charting an exciting new path for our customers, partners, and the entire travel ecosystem."

Key Highlights

* Expedia Group recently announced plans to unify its loyalty programs, consisting of more than 145 million members, into a single program spanning all global brands and products. * Expedia Group completed the sale of Egencia to American Express Global Business Travel ("GBT") on November 1. Expedia Group is a minority shareholder in the combined entity, which has a 10-year lodging supply agreement with Expedia Partner Solutions. * On October 15, Expedia Group completed the redemption of 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A preferred stock issued in 2020.

For the third quarter of 2021, total gross bookings and total revenue both increased significantly compared to the third quarter of 2020. Booking trends for lodging, air, and other travel products all declined sequentially from the second quarter of 2021 largely due to the impact of the Covid Delta variant.

Both Retail and B2B segment revenue increased compared to the third quarter of 2020. Gross bookings and revenue growth reflect improvement in travel trends compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Lodging $ 2,300 $ 1,229 87%

Total $ 2,962 $ 1,504 97%

As a percentage of total revenue in the third quarter of 2021, lodging accounted for 78%, advertising and media accounted for 7%, air accounted for 2% and all other revenues accounted for the remaining 13%.

Lodging revenue increased in the third quarter of 2021 driven by a significant increase in room nights stayed across hotels and alternative accommodations. Revenue per room night benefited from higher average daily rates ("ADRs") primarily driven by an increase in regional rates and a favorable mix towards U.S. hotels compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Air revenue increased in the third quarter of 2021 driven largely by an increase in tickets sold as air travel demand improved compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Advertising and media revenue increased in the third quarter of 2021 due to increases at both trivago and Expedia Group Media Solutions. Other revenue increased in the third quarter of 2021 driven by growth from both car and travel insurance products.

Some numbers may not add due to rounding. *Adjusted expenses are non-GAAP measures. See pages 11-19 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures.

**Expedia Group (excluding trivago) figures exclude both trivago costs and expenses and trivago revenue when calculating 'As a % of Revenue.'

Cost of Revenue

* For the third quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted cost of revenue increased 22% and 21%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased expenses from significantly higher transaction volumes including merchant fees.

Selling and Marketing

* For the third quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 150% compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $795 million increase in direct costs as marketing spend increased in response to improved demand compared to the third quarter of 2020. Indirect costs, which represented 14% of total GAAP selling and marketing costs in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 36% in the third quarter of 2020, and 12% of total adjusted selling and marketing expense in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 34% in the third quarter of 2020, decreased 3% and 13%, respectively, due to lower personnel costs in connection with previously announced cost savings. The year-over-year benefit for GAAP indirect costs was offset by higher stock-based compensation.

Technology and Content

* For the third quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted technology and content expense increased 15% and 8%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2020, largely due to an increase in personnel and related costs from the previously announced compensation change, which shifted discretionary bonus to salary in the current year. The year-over-year increase in GAAP technology and content expense was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation.

General and Administrative

* For the third quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted general and administrative expense increased 38% and 16%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs from the previously announced compensation change. The year-over-year increase in GAAP general and administrative expense was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation.

(1) trivago is a separately listed company on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and, therefore, is subject to its own reporting and filing requirements which could result in possible differences that are not expected to be material to Expedia Group.

(2) Expedia Group does not calculate or report net income (loss) by segment.

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 11-19 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased 9% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to the completion of amortization related to certain intangible assets as well as the impact of definite-lived intangible impairments in the prior year.

Impairment of Goodwill & Intangible Assets

There was no impairment of goodwill or intangible assets recorded in the third quarter of 2021. Intangible asset and goodwill charges of $41 million and $14 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020 were related to the impairment of indefinite-lived trade names and trivago respectively.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In connection with the restructuring actions announced in February 2020 to simplify our businesses and improve operational efficiencies, as well as the acceleration of further actions to adapt our business to the current environment, we recognized $12 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges in the third quarter of 2021. Restructuring and related reorganization charges were $78 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Interest and Other

Consolidated interest income decreased $1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020. Consolidated interest expense decreased $27 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of interest related to high-cost senior notes outstanding in the prior year but extinguished in March 2021, as well as interest related to our prior year draw on our revolving credit facility, which we fully repaid in December 2020.

Consolidated other, net was a gain of $25 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of $1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The gain in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily related to the sale of the Alice business, partially offset by foreign exchange losses. The loss in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to mark-to-market losses on minority equity investments, largely offset by foreign exchange gains.

Income Taxes

The GAAP effective tax rate was 19%, compared to 11% in the third quarter of 2020.

The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income was 2% in the third quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income was not meaningful in the third quarter of 2020 due to the impact of discrete tax items on smaller adjusted pretax income.

Preferred Stock

The preferred stock dividend related to the preferred equity issued in May of 2020 was $14 million in the third quarter of 2021.

In October 2021, Expedia Group redeemed the remaining 50% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at a price equal to 103% of the Preference Amount, plus accrued and unpaid distributions as to the redemption date using cash on-hand.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was negative $1.2 billion. Consolidated free cash flow totaled negative $1.4 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in cash used in operating activities related to changes in working capital partially offset by an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $5.0 billion at September 30, 2021 compared to $5.5 billion at June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by seasonally lower free cash flow. Restricted cash and cash equivalents, which primarily relates to traveler deposits for bookings made through Vrbo, was $1.6 billion at September 30, 2021 compared to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2021. Prepaid expenses and other current assets was $0.8 billion at September 30, 2021 compared to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2021. Deferred merchant bookings totaled approximately $5.8 billion at September 30, 2021, including approximately $790 million in deferred loyalty rewards compared to $8.2 billion at June 30, 2021, including approximately $760 million in deferred loyalty rewards. The decline in deferred merchant bookings primarily reflects the typical seasonality of our business with higher stayed room nights occurring during the summer months.

At September 30, 2021, Expedia Group had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 14 million shares of Expedia Group common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 7 million common shares with a $123.81 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 3.7 years, and approximately 7 million restricted stock units ("RSUs").

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Expedia Group reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Expenses (non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling and marketing, non-GAAP technology and content and non-GAAP general and administrative), all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP and are defined by the SEC as non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are among the primary metrics by which management evaluates the performance of the business and on which internal budgets are based. Management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS have certain limitations in that they do not take into account the impact of certain expenses to our consolidated statements of operations. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS also exclude certain items related to transactional tax matters, which may ultimately be settled in cash. We urge investors to review the detailed disclosure regarding these matters in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Legal Proceedings sections, as well as the notes to the financial statements, included in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The definition of Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2016 and the definition for Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017. The definition of Adjusted Expenses was revised in the first quarter of 2014 and in the second quarter 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia Group adjusted for:

(1) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests;

(2) provision for income taxes;

(3) total other expenses, net;

(4) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to certain subsidiary equity plans;

(5) acquisition-related impacts, including

(i) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairment,

(ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements; and

(iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree;

(6) certain other items, including restructuring;

(7) items included in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to transactional taxes (e.g. hotel and excise taxes), related to court decisions and final settlements, and charges incurred, if any, for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain transactional tax proceedings;

(8) that portion of gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net that relate to revenue recognized in the period; and

(9) depreciation.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core operating results and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analysts and investors to evaluate our future on-going performance as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison of our performance and projected cash earnings with our historical results from prior periods and to the results of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. In addition, we believe that by excluding certain items, such as stock-based compensation and acquisition-related impacts, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income generated from our business and allows investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing cash earnings capabilities of our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) generally captures all items on the statements of operations that occur in normal course operations and have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia Group plus the following items, net of tax:

(1) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to equity plans of certain subsidiaries and equity-method investments;

(2) acquisition-related impacts, including;

(i) amortization of intangible assets, including as part of equity-method investments, and goodwill and intangible asset impairment;

(ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements;

(iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree; and

(iv) gains (losses) recognized on non-controlling investment basis adjustments when we acquire or lose controlling interests;

(3) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash;

(4) since adoption of new accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2018, the changes in fair value of equity investments;

(5) certain other items, including restructuring charges;

(6) items included in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to transactional taxes (e.g., hotel occupancy and excise taxes), related court decisions and final settlements, and charges incurred, if any, for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain transactional tax proceedings, including as part of equity method investments;

(7) discontinued operations;

(8) the non-controlling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items; and

(9) unrealized gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes preferred share dividends. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is useful to investors because it represents Expedia Group's combined results, taking into account depreciation, which management believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the impact of certain expenses and items not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, which, when applicable, include dilution from our convertible debt instruments per the treasury stock method for Adjusted EPS. The treasury stock method assumes we would elect to settle the principal amount of the debt for cash and the conversion premium for shares. If the conversion prices for such instruments exceed our average stock price for the period, the instruments generally would have no impact to adjusted weighted average shares outstanding. This differs from the GAAP method for dilution from our convertible debt instruments, which include them on an if-converted method. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, Expedia Group's consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes, foreign exchange gains or losses, and minority interest, but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS have similar limitations as Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not include all items that affect our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statements of operations.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the operating cash flow that our operating businesses generate, less capital expenditures but before taking into account other cash movements that are not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses, such as financing activities, foreign exchange or certain investing activities. We added additional detail for the capital expenditures associated with building our new headquarters facility in Seattle, Washington. We believe separating out capital expenditures for this discrete project is important to provide additional transparency to investors related to operating versus project-related capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Adjusted Expenses (cost of revenue, selling and marketing, technology and content and general and administrative expenses) exclude stock-based compensation related to expenses for stock options, restricted stock units and other equity compensation under applicable stock-based compensation accounting standards. Expedia Group excludes stock-based compensation from these measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that we do not believe are necessarily reflective of our ongoing cash operating expenses and cash operating income. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting applicable stock-based compensation accounting standards, management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing management with an important tool for financial operational decision making and for evaluating our own recurring core business operating results over different periods of time. There are certain limitations in using financial measures that do not take into account stock-based compensation, including the fact that stock-based compensation is a recurring expense and a valued part of employees' compensation. Therefore, it is important to evaluate both our GAAP and non-GAAP measures. See the Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock-based compensation by line item.

Expedia Group, Inc. (excluding trivago) In order to provide increased transparency on the transaction-based component of the business, Expedia Group is reporting results both in total and excluding trivago.

In addition, we evaluate certain operating and financial measures, including revenue growth, on both an as-reported and excluding the impact of foreign exchange, FX neutral, basis. FX neutral results are among the primary metrics by which management evaluates the performance of the business and management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze our results. We estimate FX neutral revenue growth by (i) excluding the FX impacts resulting from the time period between a transaction's booking date and revenue recognition date for both the current and prior year periods, and (ii) converting our current-year period results for transactions recorded in currencies other than U.S. Dollars using the corresponding prior-year period exchange rates rather than the current-year period exchange rates.
