Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
     Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide travel products and services to leisure and corporate travelers in the United States (“U.S.”) and abroad. These travel products and services are offered through a diversified portfolio of brands including: Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotwire.com, our private label programs (Worldwide Travel Exchange and Interactive Affiliate Network), Classic Vacations, Expedia Corporate Travel (“ECT”), eLong and TripAdvisor. In addition, many of these brands have related international points of sale. We refer to Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Expedia,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.
     On December 21, 2004, IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) announced its plan to separate into two independent public companies to allow each company to focus on its individual strategic objectives. We refer to this transaction as the “Spin-Off.” A new company, Expedia, Inc., was incorporated under Delaware law in April 2005, to hold substantially all of IAC’s travel and travel-related businesses. On August 9, 2005, the Spin-Off was completed and Expedia, Inc. shares began trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “EXPE.”
Basis of Presentation
     These accompanying financial statements present our results of operations, financial position, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows on a combined basis through the Spin-Off on August 9, 2005, and on a consolidated basis thereafter. We have prepared the combined financial statements from the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities with the exception of income taxes. We have computed income taxes using our stand-alone tax rate. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Expedia, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities we control. We have eliminated significant intercompany transactions and accounts.
     We believe that the assumptions underlying our unaudited consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not present our future financial position, the results of our future operations and cash flows, nor do they present what our historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been prior to Spin-Off had we been a stand-alone company.
     We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Accounting Estimates
     We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income during any period. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our

F-45


 

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, accounting for merchant payables, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, occupancy tax, stock-based compensation and accounting for derivative instruments.
Reclassifications
     We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
     In our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we reclassified stock-based compensation expense to the same operating expense line items as cash compensation paid to employees in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”).
     In our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we reclassified $13.1 million of transfers to IAC from financing activities to investing activities, and we reclassified $13.3 million of changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents to financing activities.
     In our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, we reclassified $19.7 million from accounts payable, other, to accounts payable, merchant ($19.3 million) and other current liabilities ($0.4 million).
Seasonality
     We generally experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our travel products and services. For example, traditional leisure travel bookings are generally the highest in the first three quarters of the year as travelers plan and book their spring, summer and holiday travel. The number of bookings decreases in the fourth quarter. Because revenue in the merchant business is generally recognized when the travel takes place rather than when it is booked, revenue typically lags bookings by a month or longer. As a result, revenue is typically the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Stock-Based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based compensation under the modified prospective method provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), and related guidance. Under SFAS 123(R), we continue to measure and amortize the fair value for all share-based payments consistent with our past practice under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. As a result, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on our financial position.
     We measure and amortize the fair value of restricted stock units, stock options and warrants as follows:
     Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”). RSUs are stock awards that are granted to employees entitling the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests, typically over a five-year period. We measure the value of RSUs at fair value based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant. We amortize the fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term on a straight-line basis. We record RSUs that may be settled by the holder in cash, rather than shares, as a liability and we remeasure these instruments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Upon settlement of these awards, our total compensation expense recorded over the vesting period of the awards will equal the settlement amount, which is based on our stock price on the settlement date.
     Performance-based RSUs vest upon achievement of certain company-based performance conditions. On the date of grant, we assess whether it is probable that the performance targets will be achieved, and if assessed as probable, we determine the fair value of the performance-based award based on the fair value of our common stock at that

F-46


 

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
time. We record compensation expense for these awards over the estimated performance period using the accelerated method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans — an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and 25. At each reporting period, we reassess the probability of achieving the performance targets and the performance period required to meet those targets. The estimation of whether the performance targets will be achieved and of the performance period required to achieve the targets requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, the cumulative effect on current and prior periods of those changes will be recorded in the period estimates are revised. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation expense recognized will be based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.
     Stock Options and Warrants. We measure the value of stock options and warrants issued or modified, including unvested options assumed in acquisitions, on the grant date (or modification or acquisition dates, if applicable) at fair value, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, over the remaining vesting term on a straight-line basis.
     Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive these awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of our original estimates of fair value. In determining the estimated forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, we periodically conduct an assessment of the actual number of equity awards that have been forfeited to date as well as those expected to be forfeited in the future. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the type of award, the employee class and historical experience. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately be forfeited requires significant judgment and to the extent that actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period such estimates are revised.
     We have calculated an APIC pool pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The APIC pool represents the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation that are available to absorb future tax deficiencies. We include only those excess tax benefits that have been realized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. If the amount of future tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC pool, we will record the excess as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded tax deficiencies of $2.9 million and $10.0 million against the APIC pool; as a result, such deficiencies did not affect our results of operations. Excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies are a factor in the calculation of diluted shares used in computing dilutive earnings per share. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on our dilutive shares.
     Prior to our adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recorded cash retained as a result of tax benefit deductions relating to stock-based compensation in operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-15, Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option (“EITF 00-15”). SFAS 123(R) supersedes EITF 00-15, amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and requires that, upon adoption, we present the tax benefit deductions relating to excess stock-based compensation deductions as a financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we reported $0.8 million of tax benefit deductions as a financing activity that previously would have been reported as an operating activity.
Marketing Promotions
     We periodically provide incentive offers to our customers to encourage booking of travel products and services. We record these incentive offers in accordance with EITF No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), and EITF No. 00-22, Accounting for

F-47


 

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
“Points” and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future. Generally, our incentive offers are as follows:
     Current Discount Offers. These promotions include dollar off discounts to be applied against current purchases. We record the discounts as reduction in revenue at the date we record the corresponding revenue transaction.
     Inducement Offers. These promotions include discounts granted at the time of a current purchase to be applied against a future qualifying purchase. We treat inducement offers as a reduction to revenue based on estimated future redemption rates. We allocate the discount amount between the current purchase and the potential future purchase based on our expected relative value of the transactions. We estimate our redemption rates using our historical experience for similar inducement offers.
     Concession Offers. These promotions include discounts to be applied against a future purchase to maintain customer satisfaction. Upon issuance, we record these concession offers as a reduction to revenue based on estimated future redemption rates. We estimate our redemption rates using our historical experience for concession offers.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes guidance related to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are in the process of determining the impact, if any, of this interpretation on our results from operations, financial position or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of determining the impact, if any, of this statement on our results from operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
     The following table presents our goodwill and intangible assets as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005:
                 
    September 30,     December 31,

early stages of the process of performing this annual assessment and have not yet reached any conclusions related thereto.
     Our indefinite lived intangible assets relate principally to trade names and trademarks acquired in various acquisitions. Based on lower than expected year-to-date revenue growth, we determined that our indefinite lived trade name intangible asset related to Hotwire might be impaired as of September 30, 2006. Accordingly, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2006, we performed a valuation of that asset and determined that its carrying amount exceeded its fair value and recognized an impairment charge of $47.0 million. We based our measurement of fair value of the trade name intangible asset using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that a trade name has value to the extent that its owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received therefrom.
NOTE 4 – Debt
Short-term Borrowings
     In July 2005, we entered into a $1.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders, which was effective as of the Spin-Off, and is unconditionally guaranteed by certain Expedia subsidiaries. The facility bears interest based on our financial leverage, which as of September 30, 2006, was equal to LIBOR plus 0.625%. The facility also contains financial covenants consisting of a leverage ratio and a minimum net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
     The amount of stand-by letters of credit issued under the facility reduces the amount available to us. As of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, there was $51.8 million and $53.2 million of outstanding stand-by letters of credit issued under the facility. As of December 31, 2005, we had $230.0 million outstanding under the facility, which we fully repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, there was no amount outstanding under the facility.
Long-term Debt
     In August 2006, we privately placed $500.0 million of senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). We intend to file a registration statement to permit the exchange of the Notes for registered notes having the same financial terms and covenants as the privately placed notes. We plan to use the net proceeds of $495.7 million for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchase of common stock, repayment of debt, acquisitions, investments, additions to working capital, capital expenditures and advances to or investments in our subsidiaries.
     The Notes bear a fixed rate interest of 7.456% with interest payable semi-annually in February and August of each year, beginning in February 2007. The amount of accrued interest related to the Notes was $4.1 million as of September 30, 2006. The Notes are repayable in whole or in part on August 15, 2013, at the option of the holder of such Notes, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. We may redeem the Notes in accordance with the terms of the agreement, in whole or in part at any time at our option.
     The Notes are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes include covenants that limit our ability to (i) incur liens, (ii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (iii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets. As of September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 5 – Derivative Instruments
     The fair value of our derivative financial instruments generally represents the estimated amounts we would expect to receive or pay upon termination of the contracts as of the reporting date. Our derivative liabilities balance consists of the following:
                 
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2006     2005  
    (in thousands)  
Ask Jeeves Convertible Subordinated Notes
  $ 21,700     $ 104,800  
Cross-currency swaps and other
    9,145       1,027  
 
           
 
  $ 30,845     $ 105,827  
 
           
     As a result of the Spin-Off, we assumed certain obligations to IAC related to IAC’s Ask Jeeves Convertible Subordinated Notes (“Ask Jeeves Notes”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, certain of these notes were converted and we released approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock from escrow with a fair value of $71.6 million to satisfy the conversion requirements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded in other income a net unrealized loss of $0.6 million and a net unrealized gain of $11.5 million related to the derivative liability on the outstanding Ask Jeeves Notes.
     During October 2006, additional notes were converted and we released approximately 0.5 million shares of our common stock from escrow with a fair value of $14.5 million to satisfy the conversion requirements. As of November 13, 2006, we estimate that we could be required to release from escrow up to 0.8 million shares of our common stock (or pay cash in equal value, in lieu of issuing such shares). The Ask Jeeves Notes are due June 1, 2008; upon maturity of these notes, our obligation to satisfy demands for conversion ceases.
     We enter into cross-currency swaps to hedge against the change in value of certain intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the lending subsidiaries’ functional currencies. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period.
NOTE 6 – Stock-Based Awards and Other Equity Instruments
     Our 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock awards (“RSA”), RSUs, stock options and other stock-based awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 7.7 million shares of common stock reserved for new stock-based awards under the 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan. We issue new shares to satisfy the exercise or release of stock-based awards.
     RSUs, which are awards in the form of phantom shares or units that are denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of our common stock, are our primary form of stock-based award. While we do not generally compensate our employees with stock options, when we do make such grants, they are granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The terms and conditions upon which the stock options become exercisable vary.
     We have fully vested stock warrants with expiration dates through February 2012 outstanding, certain of which trade on the NASDAQ under the symbols “EXPEW” and “EXPEZ.” Each stock warrant is exercisable for a certain number of shares of our common stock or a fraction thereof. As of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, we had approximately 58.5 million warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $22.33, which if exercised in full would entitle holders to acquire 34.6 million of our common shares.

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
     As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 7.1 million RSUs and a minimal number of RSAs outstanding. The following table presents a summary of these awards from December 31, 2005, through September 30, 2006:

    7,156       21.13  
 
               
     During 2006, we granted approximately one million performance-based RSUs to certain senior executives. In order for these awards to vest, certain performance targets must be achieved. The fair value of substantially all of these awards at the grant date was $18.9 million with a weighted average fair value of $19.39 per share. We are amortizing the fair value on an accelerated basis over the estimated probable period of time to achieve the target.

     The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options shown in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value at September 30, 2006, based on our the closing stock price of $15.68 as of the last trading date. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
     For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $16.4 million and a related income tax benefit of $5.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a stock-based compensation benefit of $1.0 million and a related income tax expense of $1.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a cumulative benefit from a change in estimate related to increased forfeiture rates, which resulted in a $35.3 million reduction in non-cash compensation expense ($22.5 million, net of income tax expense), partially offset by a $5.4 million expense related to the modification of existing stock-based compensation awards in connection with the Spin-Off in 2005.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $57.5 million and $79.9 million. The total income tax benefit related to this compensation expense was $19.6 million and $27.2 million for those periods.
     Cash received from stock-based award exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $29.4 million. Our employees that held vested stock options prior to the Spin-Off received vested stock options in both Expedia and IAC. As these stock options are exercised, we receive a tax deduction. Total income tax benefits realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 associated with the exercise of IAC and Expedia stock-based awards held by our employees were $29.0 million, of which we recorded approximately $13.8 million as a reduction of goodwill.
     As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $159 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock-

based awards, which is expected to be recognized in expense over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
NOTE 7 – Income Taxes
     We determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective rate. We record any changes to the estimated annual rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.
     Our effective tax rate was 38.8% and 36.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our effective tax rate is higher than the 35% statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and the valuation allowance on certain foreign losses, partially offset by the disallowance for tax purposes of the mark-to-market net gain related to our derivative instruments.
     Our effective tax rate was 45.8% and 41.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, which was higher than the 35% statutory rate primarily due to a loss from our write-off of a long-term investment as of September 30, 2005 that is not deductible for tax purposes until realized, state taxes, non-deductible stock compensation and non-deductible transaction expenses related to the Spin-Off from IAC.
     For the period January 1, 2005 through the Spin-Off date, we were a member of the IAC consolidated tax group. Under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement with IAC, IAC can make certain elections in preparation of tax returns prior to the Spin-Off date, which may change the amount of income taxes we owe for the period after the Spin-Off. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded $17.5 million of such changes as adjustments to stockholders’ equity.
NOTE 8 – Earnings Per Share
     The following table presents our basic and diluted earnings per share:

     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we included the dilutive effect of certain warrants for the period prior to the Spin-off since the terms of the stock warrant agreements obligated us, as of the Spin-Off, to issue underlying common stock. We did not have such obligations for options and other dilutive securities.

NOTE 9 – Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
     In May 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the share repurchase of up to 20 million outstanding shares of our common stock. In July 2006, we completed the repurchase of all 20 million shares for a total cost of $288.3 million, at an average price of $14.42 per share including transaction costs. All shares were repurchased in the open market at prevailing market prices.
     In August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized another share repurchase of up to 20 million outstanding shares of our common stock. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase. As of November 13, 2006, we have not made any share repurchases under this authorization.
NOTE 10 – Acquisitions
Put and Call Option Agreements
     In connection with our acquisitions of certain subsidiaries, we had call and put option agreements in place to acquire the remaining shares held by the minority shareholders of two companies. In April 2006, we acquired the remaining 8.6% minority ownership interest in one subsidiary for $3.3 million in cash and recorded a $3.1 million liability that will be paid in cash over the next two years. In June 2006, we incurred an obligation to acquire 3.5% of the remaining 4.9% minority ownership in another subsidiary for $13.0 million, which we settled in cash during the third quarter of 2006. We acquired the remaining 1.4% minority ownership in that subsidiary during the third quarter of 2006 for $5.3 million in cash.
NOTE 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
     At November 13, 2006, we have agreements with certain vendors under which we have future minimum obligations as follows: $3.4 million during the remainder of 2006, $13.9 million in 2007, $6.2 million in 2008 and $6.2 million in 2009. These minimum obligations are less than our projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use. In addition, if certain obligations are met by our counterparties, our obligations will increase.
Legal Proceedings
     In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. In the opinion of management, we do not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of Expedia. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including value-added tax, federal excise tax, transient occupancy or accommodation tax and similar matters. We do not believe that the aggregate amount of liability that could be reasonably possible with respect to these matters would have a material adverse affect on our financial results.
NOTE 12 – Related Party Transactions
Expenses Allocated from IAC
     Prior to Spin-Off, our operating expenses included allocations from IAC for accounting, treasury, legal, tax, corporate support, human resource functions and internal audit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, expenses allocated from IAC were $0.9 million and $5.0 million. We recorded the expense allocation from IAC in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
     Additional allocations from IAC prior to the Spin-Off related to stock-based compensation expense attributable to our employees. Stock-based compensation expense allocated from IAC was $56.5 million for the period from January 1, 2005 to August 9, 2005.
Interest Income from IAC
     The interest income from IAC/InterActiveCorp recorded in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, arose from intercompany receivable balances from IAC. The interest income from IAC ceased upon Spin-Off on August 9, 2005.
Relationship Between IAC and Expedia, Inc. after the Spin-Off
     In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into various agreements with IAC, a related party due to common ownership, to provide for an orderly transition and to govern our ongoing relationships with IAC. These agreements include the following:
    a Separation Agreement that sets forth the arrangements between IAC and Expedia with respect to the principal corporate transactions necessary to complete the Spin-Off, and a number of other principles governing the relationship between IAC and Expedia following the Spin-Off;
 
    a Tax Sharing Agreement that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of IAC and Expedia after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns;
 
    an Employee Matters Agreement that governs a wide range of compensation and benefit issues, including the allocation between IAC and Expedia of responsibility for the employment and benefit obligations and liabilities of each company’s current and former employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries); and
 
    a Transition Services Agreement that governs the provision of transition services from IAC to Expedia.
     In May 2006, an airplane that we own indirectly with IAC was placed into service and is being depreciated over 10 years.
Commercial Agreements with IAC
     Since the Spin-Off, we have continued to work with some of IAC’s businesses pursuant to a variety of commercial relationships. These commercial agreements generally include (i) distribution agreements, pursuant to which certain subsidiaries of IAC distribute their respective products and services via arrangements with Expedia, and vice versa, (ii) services agreements, pursuant to which certain subsidiaries of IAC provide Expedia with various services and vice versa and (iii) office space lease agreements. The distribution agreements typically involve the payment of fees, usually on a fixed amount-per-transaction, revenue share or commission basis, from the party seeking distribution of the product or service to the party that is providing the distribution.
     During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded income of $0.6 million from IAC businesses, and recorded expense of $8.6 million to IAC businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded income of $1.9 million from IAC businesses, and recorded expense of $25.6 million to IAC businesses. Amounts receivable from IAC businesses, which are included in accounts and notes receivable, totaled $0.1 million as of September 30, 2006, and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2005. Amounts payable to IAC businesses, which are included in accounts payable, trade, totaled $7.4 million as of September 30, 2006, and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2005.

Other Transactions with IAC
     On October 2, 2006, eLong sold one of its businesses to a subsidiary of IAC for a sale price of $14.6 million in cash. The net assets and operating results of this subsidiary are not material to our consolidated results from operations, financial position or cash flows.
Agreements with Microsoft Corporation
     We have various agreements with Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), which is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, including an agreement that maintains our presence as the provider of travel shopping services on MSN.com and several international MSN websites. Total expense incurred with respect to these agreements was $5.7 million and $17.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $5.3 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Amounts payable related to these agreements was $5.8 million and $6.2 million as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.
     Prior to November 1999, Microsoft owned 100% of our outstanding common stock. Concurrent with our separation from them, we entered into a tax allocation agreement whereby we must pay Microsoft for a portion of the tax savings resulting from the exercise of certain stock options when we realize the tax savings on our tax return. We recorded $36.3 million in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, we realized $6.0 million of tax savings on our tax return; and therefore, we reclassified $6.0 million to other current liabilities from other long-term liabilities, which we anticipate paying during the fourth quarter of 2006.
NOTE 13 – Segment Information
     Beginning with the first quarter of 2006, we have two reportable segments: North America and Europe. The change from a single reportable segment is a result of the reorganization of our business. We determined our segments based on how our chief operating decision makers manage our business, make operating decisions and evaluate operating performance. Our primary operating metric for evaluating segment performance is “Operating Income Before Amortization” (defined below), which includes allocations of certain expenses, primarily cost of revenue and facilities, to the segments. We base the allocations primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics; this methodology is periodically evaluated and may change. We do not allocate certain expenses to reportable segments such as partner services, product development, accounting, human resources and legal. We include these expenses in Corporate and Other.
     Our North America segment provides a full range of travel services to customers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. This segment operates through a variety of brands including Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotwire.com TripAdvisor and Classic Vacations. Our Europe segment provides travel services primarily through localized Expedia websites in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, as well as localized versions of Hotels.com in various European countries.
     Corporate and Other includes ECT, Expedia Asia Pacific and unallocated corporate functions and expenses. ECT provides travel products and services to corporate customers in North America and Europe. Expedia Asia Pacific provides online travel information and reservation services in Australia and the People’s Republic of China. In addition, we record amortization of intangible assets and any related impairment, as well as stock-based compensation expense in Corporate and Other.
     The following table presents our segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. We have not reported segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, as it is not practicable to do so. In addition, we do not currently allocate assets to our operating segments, nor do we report such information to our chief operating decision makers.

Definition of Operating Income Before Amortization (“OIBA”)
     We provide OIBA as a supplemental measure to GAAP. We define OIBA as operating income plus: (1) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense, (2) stock-based compensation expense, (3) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairment, if applicable and (4) certain one-time items, if applicable.
     OIBA is the primary operating metric used by which management evaluates the performance of our business, on which internal budgets are based, and by which management is compensated. Management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measures, GAAP financial statements, and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We present a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP below.
     OIBA represents the combined operating results of Expedia, Inc.’s businesses, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of other non-cash expenses that may not be indicative of our core business operations. We believe this measure is useful to investors for the following reasons:
    it corresponds more closely to the cash operating income generated from our core operations by excluding significant non-cash operating expenses;

F-56


 

Expedia, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
    it aids in forecasting and analyzing future operating income as stock-based compensation, non-cash distribution and marketing expenses and intangible assets amortization, assuming no subsequent acquisitions, are likely to decline going forward; and
 
    it provides greater insight into management decision making at Expedia, as OIBA is our primary internal metric for evaluating the performance of our business.
     OIBA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact of certain expenses to our consolidated statements of income, including stock-based compensation, non-cash payments to partners, acquisition-related accounting and certain one-time items, if applicable. Due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, such as tax rates, stock price and interest rates, we are unable to provide a reconciliation to net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts.
