^*A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not provided because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, foreign exchange, returns on investment spending, and acquisition-related or restructuring expenses. As such, the items that are excluded from our non-GAAP guidance are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.

•	Full Year 2017: Total adjusted general and administrative expense increased 10%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to a $34 million increase in personnel and overhead from increased headcount and, to a lesser extent, an increase in professional fees.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense increased $33 million to $165 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $137 million to $614 million in 2017, primarily due to previously capitalized software development costs for completed technology projects which have been placed into service, as well as investments in corporate technology infrastructure.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense increased $1 million to $46 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Stock-based compensation expense decreased $93 million to $149 million in 2017, due to the exercise of Expedia's call right on certain trivago shares held by employees in 2016, as described below, as well as the reversal of approximately $41 million in the third quarter of 2017 of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense related to Expedia's former CEO.

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.

⁽¹⁾Upon completion of its initial public offering on December 16, 2016, trivago became 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, Inc.⁽²⁾ Expedia does not calculate or report net income by segment.

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 16-20 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

GAAP net income attributable to Expedia was $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to GAAP net income of $79 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. GAAP net income attributable to Expedia was $378 million in 2017, an increase of 34% compared to GAAP net income of $282 million in 2016.

Page 7 of 22

Adjusted EBITDA was $402 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, a decrease of 9% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $442 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 billion in 2017, an increase of 6% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 billion in 2016.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Consolidated amortization of intangible assets increased $3 million to $71 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to new business acquisitions in the current year. Consolidated amortization of intangible assets decreased $42 million to $275 million in 2017, due to the completion of amortization related to certain intangible assets, partially offset by $11 million of amortization related to new business acquisitions in the current year. In addition, in 2016 we recorded a $35 million impairment loss related to indefinite-lived trade names.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In connection with activities to centralize and optimize certain operations as well as migrate technology platforms in the prior year, primarily related to the previously disclosed acquisitions, we recognized $17 million and $56 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during 2017 and 2016. Based on current plans, which are subject to change, and excluding any possible future acquisition integrations, we do not expect to incur material restructuring charges in 2018.

Interest and Other

Consolidated interest income increased $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and increased $14 million in 2017, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to higher invested balances in both periods, and to a lesser extent higher rates of return during 2017. Consolidated interest expense increased $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $9 million in 2017, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the issuance of the $1 billion of senior unsecured notes in September 2017.

Consolidated other, net was a gain of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, consistent with a gain of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Consolidated other, net was a loss of $61 million in 2017, compared to a loss of $32 million in 2016. The losses in 2017 and 2016 were primarily related to 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 30% and 11% for the fourth quarter and full year 2017, respectively, compared to 26% and 6% in the prior year periods. The increase in the quarterly effective tax rate for 2017 compared to 2016 is due to a number of factors, including an increase in losses in foreign jurisdictions, offset by the estimated effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The increase in the annual effective tax rate for 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to the same factors, as well as one-time benefits in the prior year period. In addition, the effective tax rate for 2017 and 2016 was lower than the 35% U.S. federal statutory rate due to earnings in foreign jurisdictions, predominantly Switzerland, where the statutory income tax rate is lower, as well as excess tax benefits related to share-based payments.

The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income ("ANI") was 31% and 25% for the fourth quarter and full year 2017, respectively, compared to 28% and 26% in the prior year periods. The year-over-year change in the ANI effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by the timing of recognition for certain discrete items recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017 tied to the filing of various tax returns. The year-over-year change in the ANI effective tax rate for the full year 2017 was relatively consistent with the prior year.

United States Tax Reform Impacts

As of December 31, 2017, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act. We have recognized a net tax benefit of $14 million for the provisional tax impacts of the Tax Act related to the transition tax and revaluation of our net deferred tax liability and included these estimates in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact may materially differ from these provisional amounts, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we

Page 8 of 22

have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions we may take as a result of the Tax Act. These provisional tax effects were excluded from our computation of ANI.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $3.4 billion at December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2017, consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 billion and consolidated free cash flow totaled $1.1 billion. Both measures include $593 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, 2017, consolidated free cash flow was $(308) million, a decrease of $146 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2017, consolidated free cash flow was $1.1 billion, an increase of $274 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities related to changes in working capital and higher Adjusted EBITDA.

Long-term investments and other assets includes an investment in Despegar.com, Corp. ("Despegar"), which is recorded at a fair value of $264 million as of December 31, 2017, and $338 million of a $350 million investment made in Traveloka Holding Limited in July 2017, accounted for as a cost method investment (with a small portion allocated to intangible assets). Despegar completed its initial public offering in September 2017.

Current maturities of long-term debt includes $500 million in 7.456% senior notes due in August 2018. Long-term debt, net of applicable discounts, debt issuance costs and current maturities, totaled $3.7 billion at December 31, 2017 consisting of $990 million in 3.8% senior notes due 2028; $741 million in 5.0% senior notes due 2026; $495 million in 4.5% senior notes due 2024; $775 million (€650 million) in 2.5% senior notes due 2022; and $748 million in 5.95% senior notes due 2020. The 3.8% senior notes due 2028 were issued during the third quarter of 2017. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, Expedia had a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was essentially untapped.

At December 31, 2017, Expedia, Inc. had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 18 million shares of Expedia common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 16 million common shares with a $95.23 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 4.4 years, and approximately 2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

During 2017, Expedia, Inc. repurchased 2.3 million shares of Expedia, Inc. common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $294 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $127.04 per share). As of December 31, 2017, there were approximately 4.9 million shares remaining under a February 2015 repurchase authorization.

On December 7, 2017, Expedia, Inc. paid a quarterly dividend of $46 million ($0.30 per common share). In addition, on February 7, 2018, the Executive Committee of Expedia’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 8, 2018, with a payment date of March 28, 2018. Based on current shares outstanding, the total payment for this quarterly dividend is estimated to be approximately $46 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.

Notes:


•	The year-over-year growth figures through Q2 2016 exclude eLong, Inc., as Expedia sold its ownership interest on May 22, 2015.


•	The metrics above include Orbitz Worldwide following the acquisition on September 17, 2015 and HomeAway following the acquisition on December 15, 2015.

•

HomeAway gross bookings and room nights operating metrics include on-platform and reported transactions from all HomeAway brands, with the exception of BedandBreakfast.com and TopRural (which, if included, would collectively add less than an estimated 2% to each of gross bookings and room nights). On-platform gross bookings and room nights for Stayz, Bookabach and Travelmob (which collectively represent less than 10% of total on-platform transactions) represent our best estimates.


•	Advertising & Media Revenue includes 3rd party revenue from trivago. All trivago revenue is classified as international.


•	Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Expedia, Inc. 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), 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, 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 (Loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017 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 net income (loss) attributable to Expedia, Inc. 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,

Page 16 of 22

(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. The definition for Adjusted EBITDA was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012.

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, Inc. plus the items below, net of tax (which excludes the impact of significant changes resulting from tax legislation such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act):

(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) Upon adoption of new accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2018, the changes in fair value of equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method and those which are consolidated);

(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.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 (loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Page 17 of 22

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 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 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.

Appendix

Non-GAAP definitions 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), and net income (loss) attributable to the Company, each exclude the impact of eLong. Other figures in the deck exclude eLong, other than where noted. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia, Inc. 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. The definition for Adjusted EBITDA was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012. 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. 17
