BELLEVUE, Wash.October 30, 2013Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
| Room nights grew 20% year-over-year driven by eLong and Brand Expedia®. Revenue grew 17% year-over-year for the third quarter of 2013 due to growth in hotel room nights and advertising and media revenue.

| Through a strategic marketing agreement, Brand Expedia agreed to power both the US and Canadian Travelocity-branded websites. The Brand Expedia-powered sites are expected to launch in the first half of 2014. |
| The combination of healthy top line growth and leverage on fixed costs led to Adjusted EBITDA* improving 16% year-over-year as compared to third quarter 2012. |

Discussion of Results
The information presented within treats the domestic and international operations previously associated with Expedias TripAdvisor® Media Group as discontinued operations and accounts for the reverse stock split that occurred on December 20, 2011. The results include Expedia.com®, Hotels.com®, Hotwire.com®, Expedia® Affiliate Network, Classic Vacations®, Expedia Local Expert®, Expedia® CruiseShipCenters®, Egencia®, eLong, Venere® Net SpA and trivago GmbH; in addition to the related international points of sale.
Expedia and AirAsia formed a joint venture on July 1, 2011, which is 50% owned by Expedia; therefore, subsequent results do not include the Brand Expedia websites contributed to the joint venture.
The results include trivago GmbH following our acquisition of a controlling interest during March 2013. The impacts are discussed in more detail below. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons below are versus the third quarter of 2012.
Gross Bookings, Revenue & Revenue Margins
Gross bookings increased 15% (15% excluding foreign exchange) for the third quarter of 2013, primarily driven by Brand Expedia, Hotels.com and eLong, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in air tickets.
For the third quarter of 2013, average daily room rates were essentially flat year-over-year while average airfares rose by 3%. Air tickets sold grew by 7% year-over-year primarily due to strong growth at Brand Expedia. Domestic bookings increased 13% and international bookings increased 18% (17% excluding foreign exchange) for the third quarter of 2013. International bookings totaled $4.6 billion for the third quarter of 2013, accounting for 44% of worldwide bookings versus 43% in the prior year.
Revenue increased 17% (17% excluding foreign exchange) for the third quarter of 2013, primarily driven by increases in hotel room nights stayed as well as advertising and media revenue, partially offset by a decrease in revenue per room night. The trivago acquisition added approximately 6 percentage points to year-over-year revenue growth for the third quarter of 2013. Domestic revenue increased 12% and international revenue increased 23% (23% excluding foreign exchange) for the third quarter of 2013. International revenue equaled $685 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing 49% of worldwide revenue versus 46% in the prior year.
Revenue as a percentage of gross bookings (revenue margin) was 13.4% for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 19 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2012. The increase primarily relates to a favorable mix shift to our higher margin products, including advertising and media revenue as well as hotel revenue, partially offset by lower revenue per room night on our hotel product.
Product & Services Detail
As a percentage of total worldwide revenue in the third quarter of 2013, hotel accounted for 73%, air accounted for 7% and all other revenue sources, including advertising and media revenue, accounted for the remaining 20%.
Worldwide hotel revenue increased 11% for the third quarter of 2013 driven by a 20% increase in room nights stayed due to continued momentum at eLong and Brand Expedia, partially offset by a 7% decrease in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night decreased primarily due to continued hotel mix shift to Asia-Pacific, efforts to expand our global supply portfolio, including contracts signed as part of our Expedia® Traveler PreferenceTM (ETP) program, and promotional activities such as couponing and growing our loyalty programs membership.
Worldwide air revenue increased 16% for the third quarter of 2013 due to a 9% increase in revenue per ticket as well as a 7% increase in air tickets sold.
All other revenue (excluding hotel and air) increased 44% for the third quarter of 2013 through strong growth in advertising and media revenue generated by trivago.

Cost of revenue (non-GAAP)
| Cost of revenue increased 13% for the third quarter of 2013 due to $16 million more in net credit card processing costs, including fraud and chargebacks, related to growth of our merchant bookings, and $7 million more in headcount costs. Depreciation represents approximately 3% of total cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2013; essentially consistent with the third quarter of the prior year. |
Selling and Marketing (non-GAAP)
| Selling and marketing expense increased 24% in the third quarter of 2013 driven by a $105 million increase in direct costs, including online and offline marketing expenses. trivago and Brand Expedia accounted for a majority of the total increase in direct selling and marketing expenses. trivago contributed approximately 12 percentage points to the sales and marketing growth during the third quarter of 2013. |
| Indirect costs increased $13 million due to higher personnel expenses driven by the addition of trivago headcount, as well as increased headcount in our supply organization, eLong and other transaction brands. As a percentage of total selling and marketing, indirect costs represented 18% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 20% in the third quarter of 2012. |
| Depreciation represents less than 1% of total selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2013; essentially consistent with the third quarter of the prior year. |
Technology and Content (non-GAAP)
| Technology and content expense increased 14% for the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to a $9 million increase in personnel costs, net of capitalized salary costs, for additional headcount to support key technology projects for our corporate technology function, Brand Expedia and supply organization. Depreciation grew by $9 million year-over-year and represents approximately 29% of total technology and content expenses for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 26% in the third quarter of 2012. |
General and Administrative (non-GAAP)
| General and administrative expense increased 9% for the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher professional fees as well as personnel and overhead costs totaling $7 million, of which additional headcount costs drove approximately 50% of the total increase. trivago added approximately 2 percentage points to general and administrative expense growth for the third quarter of 2013. Depreciation represents approximately 6% of total general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2013; essentially consistent with the third quarter of the prior year. |
Interest and Other
For the third quarter of 2013, interest income declined 14% due primarily to lower cash balances. Interest expense was essentially consistent with the third quarter of the prior year. For the third quarter of 2013, other, net was a loss of $11 million compared to a loss of $8 million in third quarter of 2012. Losses for both quarters were primarily driven by foreign exchange. Foreign currency rate fluctuations minimally impacted third quarter revenue growth rates. Our revenue hedging program is designed to offset the book-to-stay impact on merchant hotel revenue. We include any realized gains or losses from our revenue hedging program in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on GAAP pre-tax income was 21.4% for the third quarter of 2013 compared with 17.7% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on pre-tax adjusted net income (ANI) was 25.4% for the third quarter of 2013 compared with an effective tax rate of 20.3% in the prior year period. The net effects of accounting for valuation allowances related to foreign deferred tax assets drove the increases in both the GAAP and ANI effective tax rates for the third quarter of 2013. The ANI rate was higher than the GAAP rate primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income on an adjusted basis.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $1.8 billion at September 30, 2013. Of this amount, $314 million is held by our majority-owned subsidiaries and while included in our consolidated financial statements, we do not treat it as available for our working capital purposes.
Outstanding letters of credit totaling $19 million were applied to our $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility leaving a total available capacity of $981 million at September 30, 2013. Long-term debt totaled $1.25 billion at September 30, 2013 consisting of $749 million, net of discount, in 5.95% senior notes due 2020 and $500 million in 7.456% senior notes due 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $975 million and free cash flow was $740 million. Both measures include $516 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by a working capital benefit from our merchant hotel business. Free cash flow decreased $537 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the rate of growth of our merchant hotel business compared to the prior year period, changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses as well as payments of $171 million related to Hawaii Tax Court Litigation required by the state of Hawaii to pursue a challenge on appeal of the adverse decision by the Tax Court that general excise tax is due on the total amount paid by consumers for a hotel room reservation in Hawaii.
At September 30, 2013, we had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 17 million shares of our common stock, consisting of options to purchase 16 million common shares with a $35.32 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 5 years, and approximately 0.5 million restricted stock units (RSUs).
During the third quarter of 2013, we repurchased 4.3 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $221 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $51.04 per share). Subsequent to quarter end, we repurchased an additional 1.7 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $87 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $52.06 per share), leaving approximately 10.1 million shares of common stock available for repurchase under our April 25, 2012 authorization.
On September 18, 2013, we paid a quarterly dividend of $20 million ($0.15 per common share). In addition, on October 28, 2013, the Executive Committee of Expedias Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 21, 2013, with a payment date of December 12, 2013. Based on our current shares outstanding, we estimate the total payment for this quarterly dividend will be approximately $20 million. Future declaration of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of Expedias Board of Directors.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Expedia, Inc. reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and non-GAAP operating 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 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 and Adjusted EPS also exclude certain items related to occupancy 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 Companys 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income 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 infrequently occurring items, including restructuring; (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) gains (losses) realized on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net; 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.

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, and (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) mark to market gains and losses on derivative instruments assumed at Spin-off; (4) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash or investments held by eLong; (5) certain other infrequently occurring 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; (7) discontinued operations; (8) the noncontrolling 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 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, infrequently occurring items and items not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses.
Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, which include dilution from options and warrants 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, Expedias 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 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.
Non-GAAP cost of revenue, selling and marketing, technology and content and general and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation 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, Inc. excludes stock-based compensation 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. 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 Note to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock-based compensation by line item.
