Looking forward, Mr. Boyd said "The Group's brands are off to a good start in 2013, with greater supply and geographic reach, a new offline marketing experiment for Booking.com in the United States and a new ad campaign for priceline.com featuring Kaley Cuoco together with William Shatner's Negotiator and a mandate to further build and diversify the global reach of our business. While global economic conditions remain a concern, we are excited about our long-term outlook."
