(1) “Adjusted EBITDA” (Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), “Adjusted net income,” “Adjusted EPS” and “Free cash flow” are non-GAAP measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Please see “Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures” and “Tabular Reconciliations for Non-GAAP Measures” on pages 18-23 herein for an explanation and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used throughout this release.
(2) Expedia sold its ownership interest in eLong, Inc. on May 22, 2015 and eLong is excluded from our results from that point forward. Expedia (excluding eLong) measures are non-GAAP measures as they also exclude eLong, Inc. results prior to May 22, 2015. Please see "Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures" and "Tabular Reconciliations for Non-GAAP Measures" on pages 18-23 herein for an explanation and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures. The Classification of certain revenue and expense items as well as foreign exchange rates used for reporting purposes may result in immaterial differences between the above reported amounts and eLong, Inc.'s standalone results.

Discussion of Results
The results include Expedia.com® (“Brand Expedia”), Hotels.com®, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”), Expedia® Affiliate Network (“EAN”), trivago, HomeAway, Egencia®, Travelocity®, Hotwire.com®, Wotif Group, Classic Vacations®, CarRentals.comTM, Expedia Local Expert®, Expedia® CruiseShipCenters®, AirAsia ExpediaTM and eLong (through May 22, 2015 unless otherwise noted), in addition to the related international points of sale and certain other brands.
The results include the results of Orbitz Worldwide following the acquisition by Expedia in September 2015, as well as results of HomeAway following the acquisition by Expedia in December 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, the results of Orbitz for Business are reported within the Egencia segment; the results of the rest of Orbitz Worldwide are reported within the Core OTA segment as well as within unallocated overhead costs. Inorganic impact of acquisitions is calculated through the date that the acquisition closed in the prior year. "Excluding Orbitz" and "excluding HomeAway" impact is calculated by completely removing the results of Orbitz Worldwide and HomeAway from both current and prior year periods. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons below are against the fourth quarter of 2015.

Due to Expedia’s sale of its eLong ownership stake in May 2015, all discussion below refers to results for Expedia, Inc. excluding eLong unless otherwise noted.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, total gross bookings increased 8% (including 1 percentage point of negative foreign exchange impact), driven primarily by growth in the Core OTA business, including growth in Brand Expedia, Hotels.com and EAN, as well as in Egencia, partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in gross bookings for Orbitz Worldwide. Excluding Orbitz, gross bookings increased 12%. Domestic gross bookings increased 5% (9% excluding Orbitz) and international gross bookings increased 13% (including 2 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact). International gross bookings totaled $6.1 billion and accounted for 38% of worldwide bookings, compared with 36% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
For the full year 2016, total gross bookings excluding eLong increased 21% (including 1 percentage point of negative foreign exchange impact), driven primarily by 13 percentage points of inorganic impact from acquisitions and growth in Brand Expedia and Hotels.com, as well as in Egencia. Excluding Orbitz, gross bookings increased 10%. Domestic gross bookings increased 24% and international gross bookings increased 17% (including 2 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact). International gross bookings totaled $26.1 billion and accounted for 36% of worldwide bookings, compared with 37% in the prior year. The decrease in international gross bookings mix was primarily due to the acquisition of Orbitz Worldwide, which disproportionately bolstered domestic gross bookings for the full year 2016.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, total revenue increased 23% (including 1 percentage point of negative foreign exchange impact), driven primarily by 8 percentage points of inorganic impact from acquisitions and growth in the Core OTA business, including growth in Brand Expedia and Hotels.com, as well as in trivago. Domestic revenue increased 23% and international revenue increased 24% (including 1 percentage point of negative foreign exchange impact). International revenue equaled $893 million, representing 43% of worldwide revenue, compared to 42% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Page 4 of 25



For the full year 2016, consolidated revenue increased 31%. Other than the reduction of revenue resulting from the sale of eLong in the prior year period, factors driving revenue growth are the same as those discussed below on a non-GAAP basis.
For the full year 2016, total revenue excluding eLong increased 32%, driven primarily by 19 percentage points of inorganic impact from acquisitions and growth in the Core OTA business, including growth in Brand Expedia and Hotels.com, as well as in trivago. Foreign exchange impact on total revenue growth was negligible. Domestic revenue increased 36% and international revenue increased 28%. International revenue equaled $3.7 billion, representing 43% of worldwide revenue, compared to 44% in the prior year. The decrease in international revenue mix was primarily due to the acquisitions of Orbitz Worldwide and HomeAway, which disproportionately bolstered domestic revenue for the full year 2016.

Product & Services Detail - Fourth Quarter 2016
As a percentage of total worldwide revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016, hotel accounted for 61%, advertising and media accounted for 9%, HomeAway accounted for 8%, air accounted for 8% and all other revenues accounted for the remaining 14%.
Hotel revenue increased 13% in the fourth quarter of 2016 on a 15% increase in room nights stayed driven by growth in Hotels.com, Brand Expedia and EAN, partially offset by a 2% decrease in revenue per room night. Excluding Orbitz, room nights stayed increased 16%. Revenue per room night decreased primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange translation impact as well as margin reductions aimed at expanding the size and availability of Expedia’s global hotel supply portfolio. Average daily room rates ("ADRs") were essentially flat year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Air revenue increased 6% in the fourth quarter of 2016 on a 6% increase in air tickets sold and no change in revenue per ticket year-over-year. Excluding Orbitz, air tickets sold increased 13%.
Advertising and media revenue increased 36% in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to continued growth in trivago and Expedia® Media Solutions. All other revenue increased 73% in the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily driven by the addition of the HomeAway business. Excluding HomeAway, other revenue increased 18% in the fourth quarter of 2016 on growth in travel insurance and car rental products.

Product & Services Detail (excluding eLong) - Full Year 2016
As a percentage of total worldwide annual revenue, hotel accounted for 61%, advertising and media accounted for 9%, air accounted for 9%, HomeAway accounted for 8% and all other revenues accounted for the remaining 13%.
Hotel revenue increased 16% in 2016 on a 21% increase in room nights stayed driven by the inorganic impact of acquisitions as well as the organic growth in Hotels.com, Brand Expedia and EAN, partially offset by a 4% decrease in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night decreased primarily due to margin reductions aimed at expanding the size and availability of Expedia’s global hotel supply portfolio, unfavorable foreign exchange translation impact as well as increased promotional activities such as growing loyalty programs. ADRs decreased 1% year-over-year in 2016, primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange translation impact. The inorganic component of acquisitions added approximately 7 percentage points of hotel revenue growth and 6 percentage points of room night growth for the year.
Air revenue increased 39% in 2016 on a 32% increase in air tickets sold, augmented by a 5% increase in revenue per ticket, driven primarily by new contractual agreements and the addition of Orbitz Worldwide. The inorganic component of acquisitions added approximately 28 percentage points of air revenue growth and 21 percentage points of air ticket growth for the year.
Advertising and media revenue increased 43% in 2016 due to continued growth in trivago and Expedia® Media Solutions. All other revenue increased 101% in 2016 primarily driven by the addition of the HomeAway business. Excluding HomeAway, other revenue increased 29% in 2016 on growth in travel insurance and car rental products, including an inorganic contribution from Orbitz Worldwide.

GAAP Cost of Revenue
For the fourth quarter of 2016, total GAAP cost of revenue increased 10%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, due to $14 million more in customer operations expenses, $3 million more in net credit card processing costs related to growth of our merchant bookings, as well as $16 million more in data center and other costs, including the added costs from the acquisition of HomeAway.
For the full year 2016, total GAAP cost of revenue increased 22%, compared to the prior year, due to $158 million more in customer operations expenses, $57 million more in net credit card processing costs related to growth of our merchant bookings, as well as $72 million more in data center and other costs, including the added costs from the acquisitions of Orbitz Worldwide and HomeAway.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.
Adjusted Cost of Revenue
For the fourth quarter of 2016, total adjusted cost of revenue increased 9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, due to $13 million more in customer operations expenses, $2 million more in credit card processing costs, as well as $12 million more in data center and other costs, including the added costs from the acquisition of HomeAway.
For the full year 2016, total adjusted cost of revenue increased 24%, compared to the prior year, due to $167 million more in customer operations expenses, $59 million more in credit card processing costs, as well as $72 million more in data center and other costs, including the added costs from the acquisitions of Orbitz Worldwide and HomeAway.
Acquisitions contributed approximately 7 and 19 percentage points of inorganic adjusted cost of revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.
Adjusted Selling and Marketing
For the fourth quarter of 2016, total adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 23%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, due to $151 million more in direct costs, including online and offline marketing expenses, as well as the added costs from the acquisition of HomeAway. trivago, Brand Expedia and Hotels.com accounted for a majority of the organic increase in direct selling and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016.
For the fourth quarter of 2016, indirect costs increased $25 million, primarily driven by the additional personnel due to an accelerated pace of hiring in the lodging supply organization in the first half of the year

Page 8 of 25



and additional headcount at HomeAway. As a percentage of total adjusted selling and marketing, indirect costs represented 21% in the fourth quarter of 2016, down from 22% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
For the full year 2016, total adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 31%, compared to the prior year, due to an $855 million increase in direct costs, including online and offline marketing expenses, as well as the added costs from the acquisitions of HomeAway and Orbitz Worldwide. trivago, Brand Expedia and Hotels.com accounted for a majority of the organic increase in direct selling and marketing expenses in 2016.
For the full year 2016, indirect costs increased $155 million, including the additional headcount at HomeAway and Orbitz Worldwide. The organic increase in indirect selling and marketing expenses was driven by the additional personnel due to an accelerated pace of hiring in the lodging supply organization in the first half of the year. As a percentage of total adjusted selling and marketing, indirect costs represented 18% in 2016, consistent with the prior year.
Acquisitions contributed approximately 7 and 15 percentage points of inorganic adjusted selling and marketing growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.
Adjusted Technology and Content
For the fourth quarter of 2016, total adjusted technology and content expense increased 24%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, due to $24 million more in total personnel and overhead costs, net of capitalized software development costs, as well as a $17 million increase in other costs, including the added costs from the acquisition of HomeAway. The organic increase in personnel and overhead costs was driven by key technology projects primarily in Brand Expedia Group, the corporate technology function and trivago. The organic increase in other costs was driven primarily by the expansion into the cloud computing environment and the growth of our technology platforms.
For the full year 2016, total adjusted technology and content expense increased 53%, compared to the prior year, due to $203 million more in total personnel and overhead costs, net of capitalized software development costs, as well as a $79 million increase in other costs, including the added costs from the acquisitions of HomeAway and Orbitz Worldwide. The organic increase in personnel and overhead costs was driven by key technology projects primarily in Brand Expedia Group, the corporate technology function and trivago. The organic increase in other costs was driven primarily by the expansion into the cloud computing environment and the growth of our technology platforms. While the cloud-related expenses are projected to increase over the next few years, they are also expected to result in lower overall capital expenditures related to our data centers over time.
Acquisitions contributed approximately 21 and 31 percentage points of inorganic adjusted technology and content growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.
Adjusted General and Administrative
For the fourth quarter of 2016, total adjusted general and administrative expense decreased 7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to a $15 million decrease in professional and other fees (primarily related to the acquisition related costs in the fourth quarter of the prior year), partially offset by a $4 million increase in personnel costs.
For the full year 2016, total adjusted general and administrative expense increased 15%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to a $74 million increase in personnel costs, driven primarily by the organic growth of the business and the inorganic addition of HomeAway, partially offset by a $2 million decrease in professional and other fees (primarily related to the acquisition related costs in the prior year).
Acquisitions, including acquisition related expenses, contributed approximately a negative 6 and a positive 3 percentage points of inorganic adjusted general and administrative expense growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense increased $36 million to $132 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $140 million to $477 million in 2016, primarily due to increased investments in corporate technology infrastructure as well as previously capitalized software development costs for completed technology projects which have been placed into service. Depreciation expense is expected to continue to increase as additional projects are completed.

Page 9 of 25



Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense increased $1 million to $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in general employee stock-based compensation, partially offset by the stock-based compensation related to the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2015. Stock-based compensation expense increased $64 million to $242 million in 2016, primarily due to the exercise of Expedia's call right on certain trivago shares held by employees, as described below.

During the second quarter of 2016, Expedia exercised its call right on certain shares held by trivago employees, which were originally awarded in the form of stock options pursuant to the trivago employee stock option plan and subsequently exercised by such employees, and elected to do so at a premium to fair value, which resulted in an incremental stock-based compensation charge of approximately $49 million in the second quarter of 2016 pursuant to liability award treatment. The acquisition of these employee minority interests increased Expedia's ordinary ownership of trivago by a nominal amount.

(1) Expedia does not calculate or report net income by segment.
* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 18-23 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure.
Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding. Orbitz Worldwide Adjusted EBITDA results are included in Core OTA, Egencia and Unallocated Overhead Costs in the amounts of $68 million, $5 million and ($6) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2016; $11 million, $0.1 million and ($9) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015; $264 million, $13 million and ($53) million, respectively, for 2016; and $1 million, $0.1 million and ($26 million) for 2015. HomeAway Adjusted EBITDA results are included in HomeAway and Unallocated Overhead Costs in the amounts of $42 million and ($4) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2016; $4 million and ($18) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015; $175 million and ($12) million, respectively, for 2016; and $4 million and ($18) million, respectively, for 2015.
GAAP net income attributable to Expedia was $79 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to GAAP net loss of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. GAAP net income attributable to Expedia was $282 million in 2016, a decrease of 63% compared to GAAP net income of $764 million in 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was $442 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 58% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $280 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Core OTA Adjusted EBITDA increased 31% in the fourth quarter of 2016, driven primarily by Orbitz, Brand Expedia, Hotels.com and EAN.
Adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 billion in 2016, an increase of 39% compared to Adjusted EBITDA excluding eLong of $1.2 billion in 2015. Core OTA Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% in 2016, driven primarily by Orbitz, Hotels.com, Brand Expedia and EAN, partially offset by Hotwire.
Consolidation of the HomeAway and Orbitz Worldwide financial statements (including related deal and integration costs) contributed approximately 43 and 37 percentage points of Adjusted EBITDA growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.

Page 10 of 25



Amortization of Intangible Assets
Consolidated amortization of intangible assets decreased $5 million to $68 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due to the completion of amortization related to certain intangible assets. Consolidated amortization of intangible assets increased $161 million to $317 million in 2016, primarily due to amortization related to new business acquisitions in prior year, partially offset by the completion of amortization related to certain intangible assets. In 2016, we recorded a $35 million impairment loss related to an indefinite-lived trade names within our Core OTA segment due to changes in estimated future revenues of the related brands. In addition, in 2015, we also recorded impairment losses related to an indefinite-lived trade name within our Core OTA segment.

Legal Reserves, Occupancy Tax and Other
During 2016, we recognized approximately $12 million for amounts expected to be paid in advance of litigation related to merchant car rental transactions in connection with Hawaii’s general excise tax litigation. The remaining expense in 2016 was related to changes in our reserve related to hotel occupancy and other taxes. During 2015, we received a refund of prepaid pay-to-play payments of $132 million from the State of Hawaii in connection with the general excise tax litigation. In addition, during 2015, we recorded a $24 million benefit in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other for the recovery of costs related to occupancy tax litigation matters. These gains were partially offset by charges for changes in our reserve related to hotel occupancy and other taxes.
Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges
In connection with the migration of technology platforms and centralization of technology, supply and other operations, primarily related to previously disclosed acquisitions, we recognized $10 million and $23 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as $56 million and $105 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during 2016 and 2015. In 2016 and 2015, the charges were primarily related to employee severance and benefits as a part of the Orbitz integration and represent estimated severance amounts under pre-existing written plans and contracts Orbitz had with its employees, stock-compensation charges for acceleration of replacement awards pursuant to certain of these agreements as well as incremental retention compensation for exiting employees. Based on current plans, which are subject to change, we expect to incur approximately $10 to $15 million in 2017 related to these integrations, not including any possible future acquisition integrations.
Interest and Other
Consolidated interest income increased $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and in full year 2016, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to higher invested balances and higher rates of return for the fourth quarter and higher rates of return for full year 2016. Consolidated interest expense increased $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $47 million in 2016, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the issuance of the $750 million of senior unsecured notes issued in December 2015. In addition, the full year 2016 year-over-year increase was driven by the €650 million of senior unsecured notes issued in June 2015.
Consolidated other, net was a gain of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The gain in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 were primarily related to foreign exchange. Consolidated other, net was a loss of $32 million in 2016, compared to a gain of $113 million in 2015. The loss in 2016 was primarily related to foreign exchange. The gain in 2015 was primarily related to a noncontrolling interest basis adjustment related to the acquisition of a majority stake in the AirAsia joint venture, as well as impacts from foreign exchange. Expedia’s revenue hedging program is designed primarily to offset the book-to-stay impact on merchant hotel revenue. Expedia includes that portion of any realized gains or losses from the revenue hedging program that are included in other, net that relate to revenue recognized in the period in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on GAAP pretax income was 26% and 6% for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively, compared to (117%) and 22% in the prior year periods. The change in the effective tax rate for GAAP purposes for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to certain non-taxable items in the prior year period. For the fourth quarter of 2015, taxes were measured against a pretax loss

Page 11 of 25



resulting in a negative tax rate. The change in the effective tax rate for 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the tax benefits from the adoption of the new accounting guidance relating to stock-based compensation, as well as the release of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions on cumulative foreign net operating losses for which it is more likely than not the tax benefit will be realized. As a result of lower pre-tax earnings in 2016 compared to 2015, these benefits result in a significant effect on our effective tax rate. In addition to these factors, the effective tax rate for 2016 and 2015 was lower than the 35% federal statutory rate due to earnings in foreign jurisdictions, where our statutory income tax rate is lower, as well as the effective tax rate on the gain on the sale of eLong in 2015. The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income (“ANI”) was 28% and 26% for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively, compared to 24% and 25% in the prior year periods. The year-over-year changes in the ANI effective tax rates for the fourth quarter of 2016 and for 2016 were primarily driven by the change in mix of domestic versus international pre-tax income due to lower earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $1.9 billion at December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 billion and consolidated free cash flow totaled $815 million. Both measures include $169 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an increase in deferred merchant bookings. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, consolidated free cash flow was $(162) million, an improvement of $173 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities related to higher Adjusted EBITDA and increased benefits from working capital changes, partially offset by the increase in capital expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2016, consolidated free cash flow was $815 million, an increase of $234 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities related to higher Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the decrease in capital expenditures, partially offset by decreased benefits from working capital changes.
Long-term debt, net of applicable discounts and debt issuance costs, totaled $3.2 billion at December 31, 2016 consisting of $740 million in 5.0% senior notes due 2026; $494 million in 4.5% senior notes due 2024; $678 million (€650 million) in 2.5% senior notes due 2022; $747 million in 5.95% senior notes due 2020 and $500 million in 7.456% senior notes due 2018. In addition, as of December 31, 2016, Expedia had a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was essentially untapped.
At December 31, 2016, Expedia, Inc. had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 20 million shares of Expedia common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 19 million common shares with an $84.07 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 4.7 years, and approximately 1 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
During 2016, Expedia, Inc. repurchased 4.0 million shares of Expedia, Inc. common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $436 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $109.64 per share). As of December 31, 2016, there were approximately 7.3 million shares remaining under the February 2015 repurchase authorization.
On December 8, 2016, Expedia, Inc. paid a quarterly dividend of $39 million ($0.26 per common share). In addition, on February 7, 2017, the Executive Committee of Expedia’s Board of Directors declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2017, with a payment date of March 30, 2017. Based on current shares outstanding, the total payment for this quarterly dividend is estimated to be approximately $42 million. Future declaration of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of Expedia’s Board of Directors.

During 2016, HomeAway online gross bookings reached approximately $6.0 billion, an increase of 46% year-over-year, while online property nights stayed surpassed 22 million, an increase of 48% year-over-year. HomeAway inventory now stands at approximately 1.2 million online bookable listings.
Expedia, Inc.
At the end of 2016, Expedia’s global lodging portfolio consisted of over 350,000 properties available on the Core OTA and Egencia platforms, including approximately 20,000 HomeAway listings that have been integrated into the portfolio during the fourth quarter.
Expedia and Best Western Hotels announced an expanded collaboration that sees approximately 200 Best Western Hotels across Germany adopt Expedia’s innovative MeetingMarket software. The strategic alliance makes Best Western the first global hotel brand to white label the technology.
Expedia renewed supply marketing agreements with a number of airlines, including PJSC Aeroflot - Russian Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Virgin Atlantic Airways.
Brand Expedia launched a multi-year partnership with VisitBritain featuring a new ‘365 Days of #OMGB’ campaign with Expedia Media Solutions and building on a relationship of more than five years with the destination.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Expedia, Inc. reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, 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) and certain measures excluding eLong, Inc., 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, 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 and Adjusted EPS also exclude certain items related to transactional tax matters, which may ultimately be settled in cash, and we urge investors to review the detailed disclosure regarding these matters in the Management Discussion and Analysis, 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 Net Income was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the definition for Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2016. The definition of Adjusted Expenses was revised in the first quarter of 2014 and in the second quarter 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income / (loss) plus:
(1) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to certain subsidiary equity plans;
(2) 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;
(3) certain other items, including restructuring;

Page 18 of 25



(4) 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;
(5) that portion of gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net that relate to revenue recognized in the period; and
(6) depreciation.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are noncash 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. The definition for Adjusted EBITDA was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Adjusted Net Income 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, Inc. plus 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 noncontrolling investment basis adjustments when we acquire controlling interests;
(3) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash or investments held by eLong;
(4) certain other items, including restructuring charges;
(5) 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;
(6) discontinued operations;
(7) the noncontrolling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items and
(8) unrealized gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net.
We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors because it represents Expedia, Inc.’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. The definition for adjusted net income was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, which include dilution from options per the treasury stock method and include all shares relating to RSUs in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis. Shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors because it represents, on a per share basis, Expedia’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing

Page 19 of 25



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 and Adjusted EPS have similar limitations as Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, Adjusted Net Income 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. 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 as well as depreciation expense. Expedia, Inc. excludes stock-based compensation and depreciation expenses 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. Exclusion of depreciation expense also allows the year-over-year comparison of expenses on a basis that is consistent with the year-over-year comparison of Adjusted EBITDA. There are certain limitations in using financial measures that do not take into account stock-based compensation and depreciation expense, including the fact that stock-based compensation is a recurring expense and a valued part of employees’ compensation and depreciation expense is also a recurring expense and is a direct result of previous capital investment decisions made by management. 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 and depreciation expense by line item. In addition, in the second quarter of 2015, we included an adjustment to remove operating expenses related to eLong due to our sale on May 22, 2015.
Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong). Expedia sold its ownership interest in eLong, Inc. on May 22, 2015. In order to allow comparison with prior periods for the ongoing Expedia businesses, Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong) gross bookings, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EPS, and net income (loss) attributable to the Company each exclude the impact of eLong.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are noncash 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. 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. 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 (direct selling and marketing, technology and content) exclude stock-based compensation related to expenses for stock options, restricted stock units and other equity compensation under applicable stock-based compensation accounting standards as well as depreciation expense. 18
