Discussion of Results—Fourth Quarter 2009

Gross Bookings, Revenue & Revenue Margins

Gross bookings increased 26% (22% excluding the estimated impact from foreign exchange) for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with the fourth quarter of 2008, driven primarily by 23% growth in transactions. Domestic bookings increased 19% and international bookings increased 38% (27% excluding foreign exchange).

Revenue increased 12% (5% excluding foreign exchange) for the fourth quarter, primarily driven by an increase in hotel and advertising and media revenues. Domestic revenue increased 1% while international revenue increased 33% (14% excluding foreign exchange). International revenue grew faster than domestic primarily driven by an increase in international revenue per room night combined with a slightly higher hotel room night growth rate, as well as higher air ticket growth with a smaller decrease in revenue per ticket. International advertising and media revenue also grew faster than domestic revenue.

Revenue as a percentage of gross bookings (“revenue margin”) was 13.8% for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 163 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily due to a reduction in traveler fees, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency impact. The year-over-year decrease in revenue margin in the fourth quarter was steeper than the decrease reported in the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to a lower decrease in average airfares, which affect gross bookings to a greater extent than revenue.

Products & Services Detail

Worldwide hotel revenue increased 16% for the fourth quarter primarily due to a 23% increase in room nights stayed, including rooms delivered as a component of packages and room nights booked through Venere® (which we acquired in September 2008), partially offset by a 6% decrease in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night declined largely due to a 9% decrease in average daily rates (“ADRs”), including a reduction in traveler fees, partially offset by a favorable impact from foreign exchange.

Worldwide air revenue decreased 2% for the fourth quarter, primarily due to a 26% decrease in revenue per air ticket, substantially offset by a 32% increase in ticket volumes. Expedia.com® eliminated consumer booking fees on online air tickets beginning in March 2009, with certain other points of sale following at various dates into the third quarter of 2009, which primarily drove the decline in revenue per ticket. This elimination of fees on Expedia.com and other points of sale, combined with lower average ticket prices, contributed to the lift in our air ticketing volumes.

Advertising and media revenue (including net revenue from TripAdvisor® Media Network) increased 18% for the fourth quarter, driven by a 22% increase in third-party revenue for the TripAdvisor Media Network and an 11% increase in advertising revenue generated by our transaction sites. Advertising and media revenue accounted for 11% of our worldwide revenues in the fourth quarter. Other revenue (primarily car rentals and destination services) increased 7% for the fourth quarter, and accounted for 14% of worldwide revenues for the quarter.

Profitability

OIBA for the fourth quarter increased 19% to $163 million and increased 127 basis points as a percentage of revenue to 23.4%, as selling & marketing expense and cost of revenue increased at a slower rate than revenue, partially offset by growth in technology & content and general & administrative expenses at rates in excess of revenue growth. Operating income increased $3.0 billion primarily due to a $3.0 billion impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter increased $24 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher OIBA. Net income increased primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and intangibles in the prior year period. Fourth quarter adjusted EPS and diluted EPS were $0.30 and $0.35, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 36% primarily due to higher adjusted net income.

Discussion of Results—Full Year 2009

Gross Bookings, Revenue & Revenue Margins

Gross bookings increased 3% (5% excluding the estimated impact from foreign exchange) in 2009 compared with 2008, driven primarily by 18% growth in transactions, substantially offset by lower prices for airline tickets and hotel room nights. Domestic bookings increased 1% and international bookings increased 5% (11% excluding foreign exchange).

Revenue increased 1% (2% excluding foreign exchange) for the year, primarily driven by an increase in hotel, advertising and media, and car rental revenues, partially offset by a reduction in air revenues. Domestic revenue decreased 4% while international revenue increased 9% (11% excluding foreign exchange). Domestic revenue growth trailed international growth primarily due to slower room night and air ticket growth, combined with a larger decrease in per unit revenues due to our various fee actions. International advertising and media revenue also grew faster than domestic revenue.

Revenue margin was 13.6% in 2009, a decrease of 26 basis points, primarily due to the reduction in traveler fees, the impact from loyalty programs and a greater mix of lower margin hotels, partially offset by lower air ticket prices and a reduction in the mix of lower margin air product.

Products & Services Detail

Worldwide hotel revenue increased 2% in 2009 primarily due to a 23% increase in room nights stayed, partially offset by a 17% decline in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night declined largely due to a 15% decrease in ADRs, including a reduction in traveler fees. Excluding room nights stayed through Venere, room nights grew 20% for the year.

Worldwide air revenue decreased 13% in 2009, primarily due to a 24% decrease in revenue per air ticket, partially offset by a 15% increase in ticket volumes. Ticket volume growth benefited from the elimination of booking fees on Expedia.com and other worldwide points of sale.

Advertising and media revenue (including net revenue from our TripAdvisor® Media Network) increased 10% in 2009, driven by a 21% increase in advertising revenue generated by our transaction sites and a 6% increase in third-party revenue for the TripAdvisor Media Network. Advertising and media revenue accounted for 11% of our worldwide revenues in 2009. Other revenue (primarily car rentals and destination services) increased 2% in 2009 and accounted for 14% of worldwide revenues.

Profitability

OIBA increased 9% to $762 million and increased 201 basis points as a percentage of revenue to 25.8%, as selling & marketing expense and cost of revenue decreased compared to the increase in revenue, partially offset by growth in technology & content and general & administrative expenses at rates in excess of revenue growth. Operating income increased primarily due the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Adjusted net income increased $36 million primarily due to higher OIBA and lower foreign exchange losses, partially offset by lower interest income and higher interest expense. Net income increased primarily due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the prior year period and the same factors impacting adjusted net income, partially offset by occupancy tax assessments and legal reserves, restructuring charges and a higher income tax provision. Full year adjusted EPS and diluted EPS were $1.38 and $1.03, respectively. Adjusted EPS increased 10% primarily due to higher adjusted net income.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2009 was $676 million and free cash flow was $584 million. Both measures include $207 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an improvement in our merchant hotel bookings in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 2008. Free cash flow increased $223 million in 2009 primarily due to growth in our merchant hotel business, lower capital expenditures and higher OIBA, partially offset by occupancy tax assessments and an increase in cash paid for interest and income taxes.

% of revenue		20.8	%		22.3	%	(147	)bps		20.5	%		21.7	%	(120	)bps

• Cost of revenue increased 5% in the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher call center services related to international expansion and expenses associated with transaction growth. Cost of revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to lower data center costs and efficiencies in net merchant credit card fees.

• Cost of revenue decreased 5% for full year 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to lower net merchant credit card fees, lower promotion expenses and air fulfillment efficiencies (primarily from bringing some of our air ticket fulfillment operations in-house).

• We expect cost of revenue to decrease as a percentage of revenue for full year 2010.

Selling and Marketing (non-GAAP)

• Selling and marketing expense primarily relates to direct costs, including traffic generation costs from search engines and internet portals, television, radio and print spending, private label and affiliate program commissions, public relations and other costs.

• 31% and 30% of selling and marketing expense in the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2008 related to indirect costs, including personnel in PSG, TripAdvisor, Egencia and Expedia Local Expert® (“ELE”). Approximately 26% and 25% of full-year 2009 and 2008 selling and marketing expense related to these indirect costs.

	Three months ended December 31,								Year ended December 31,
	2009			2008			Growth		2009			2008			Growth
Direct costs	$	160.7		$	151.8		6	%	$	747.0		$	826.3		-10	%

% of revenue		33.3	%		34.8	%	(149	)bps		34.3	%		37.3	%	(296	)bps

• The 8% increase in selling and marketing expense in the fourth quarter was primarily due to an increase in private label and affiliate marketing costs, higher search engine and other online marketing across several of our brands and higher bonus accruals.

• Selling and marketing expense decreased 7% for full year 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to a decrease in offline brand spending for our global websites, lower online spend (due in part to improved online efficiencies) and lower private label and affiliate expenses associated with a lower overall travel demand environment. Offline and online advertising spend decreased primarily as a result of a lower cost advertising environment, our investments in search engine optimization and marketing, and costs for other customer value enhancements that stimulate demand but do not impact selling and marketing expense, such as fee reductions and loyalty programs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in marketing expense for Venere.

• We expect to return to a more normalized marketing environment and have plans to increase both offline and online spend in 2010. In addition, we expect approximately $20 million in total relocation and other costs related to the opening of our new global headquarters for our lodging supply group (of which approximately half is expected in the second quarter). Therefore, we expect selling and marketing to increase as a percentage of revenue for full year 2010.

Technology and Content (non-GAAP)

• Technology and content expense principally relates to product development and content expense, as well as information technology costs, and is principally comprised of payroll and related expenses, depreciation and amortization of technology assets (including hardware, purchased software and capitalized software development costs), and other costs including licensing and maintenance expenses.

	Three months ended December 31,								Year ended December 31,
	2009			2008			Growth		2009			2008			Growth
Personnel and overhead	$	43.3		$	36.3		19	%	$	166.7		$	156.4		7	%

% of revenue		11.7	%		11.0	%	69	bps		10.3	%		9.3	%	100	bps

• The 19% and 12% increases in technology and content expense in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009 were due primarily to higher depreciation expense related to our historical technology investments and higher bonus accruals.

• We expect technology and content expense to decrease as a percentage of revenue for full year 2010.

General and Administrative (non-GAAP)

• General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including our executive leadership, finance, legal, and human resources functions, as well as fees for professional services that typically relate to legal, tax and accounting engagements.

	Three months ended December 31,								Year ended December 31,
	2009			2008			Growth		2009			2008			Growth
Personnel and overhead	$	40.7		$	38.7		5	%	$	158.5		$	153.8		3	%
Professional fees		24.1			17.5		38	%		73.7			58.3		26	%

% of revenue		10.6	%		9.9	%	76	bps		8.8	%		8.0	%	77	bps

• The 21% and 10% increases in general and administrative expense in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009 were due primarily to higher legal fees, settlements and other professional fees, as well as higher bonus accruals.

• We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue for full year 2010.

9 of 21

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

• Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) expense. In 2009, we used stock options as our primary form of annual employee stock-based compensation.

• Stock-based compensation expense was $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, consisting of $10 million in expense related to RSUs and $5 million in stock option expense. Stock-based compensation expense was $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

• Stock-based compensation expense was $62 million for full year 2009, consisting of $43 million in expense related to RSUs and $19 million in stock option expense. Stock-based compensation expense was $61 million in 2008.

• We expect annual stock-based compensation expense for full year 2010 will be relatively consistent with 2009.

Occupancy Tax Assessments and Legal Reserves

• During the second quarter of 2009 we reserved $55 million related to hotel occupancy tax assessments by the city of San Francisco for bookings on Expedia.com, hotels.com and Hotwire between January 2000 and March 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009 we agreed to an adjustment on the assessment which reduced the overall exposure by $7 million, resulting in a total of $48 million paid to the city during the year, of which $13 million was paid in the fourth quarter. These payments were made to allow us to pursue litigation challenging the requirement to pay tax on merchant hotel bookings we facilitate, and dispute the actual amounts owed, if any. We do not believe that such bookings are subject to the city’s occupancy tax ordinance and, if we prevail, the city will be required to repay us, plus accrued interest at the rate of 7%. We expect a final determination on this matter in 2010.

• We have entered into an agreement for the settlement of all claims alleged in a consumer class action lawsuit filed in Seattle, Washington. The trial court issued an order approving the settlement in December 2009. The court’s order approving the parties’ settlement has been appealed by third parties. We continue to deny all of the allegations and claims asserted and are settling the case in order to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. During the second quarter of 2009, we reserved $19 million, representing our best estimate of the low end of the range of possible costs associated with the settlement.

Restructuring Charges

• We recognized $6 million and $34 million of restructuring charges during the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009, in conjunction with the reorganization of our business around our global brands. These charges primarily consist of employee severance and related benefits.

• Through December 31, 2009 we have paid $13 million of these restructuring charges, with the remainder classified in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our balance sheet.

Interest Income and Interest Expense

• The decrease in interest income of $5 million and $24 million for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009, was primarily due to lower average interest rates.

• Interest expense was $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $23 million in fourth quarter of 2008 and $84 million for full year 2009 compared to $72 million for 2008. Interest expense relates primarily to interest on our long-term debt and increased for the full year primarily due to $400 million senior unsecured notes issued in June 2008 (see Borrowings below for additional detail).

Other, Net

• Other, net primarily relates to foreign exchange gains and losses and, to a lesser extent, our portion of gains or losses in equity investments.

• Other, net loss was $5 million and $35 million in the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009 and $12 million and $44 million in the prior year periods. These losses were primarily due to foreign exchange losses.

• Foreign exchange impacts primarily arise from the accounting re-measurement of our foreign denominated liabilities into U.S. dollars. We attempt to offset this re-measurement by holding foreign-denominated assets roughly equal to the liabilities, using both natural hedges (primarily cash) and foreign currency forward contracts.

• Any difference between the liability and asset positions gives rise to a gain or loss during the period, depending on the direction exchange rates move. In the fourth quarter of 2009 our net liability position and the appreciation in foreign exchange rates led to a net loss of $3 million, which amount included an offsetting $2 million net gain on forward contracts. For full year 2009 our net liability position and the appreciation in foreign exchange rates led to a net loss of $20 million, which amount included an offsetting $42 million net gain on forward contracts.

10 of 21

• We also utilize forward contracts to hedge a portion of our foreign-denominated revenues from the changes in exchange rates between the time of hotel bookings and the associated stays (the “book-to-stay” impact). The gains or losses related to these contracts are classified in other, net while the underlying exposure is in net revenue. See Foreign Exchange below for additional detail.

• At December 31, 2009 we were party to outstanding forward contracts hedging our liability and revenue exposures with a total net notional value of $136 million, and a mark-to-market gain of less than $1 million. The mark-to-market gain is recorded as an asset in “prepaid expenses and other current assets.”

Income Taxes

• The effective tax rates on GAAP pre-tax income were 10.6% and 33.7% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, compared with 5.4% and (0.2%) in the prior year periods.

• The effective GAAP rates for the fourth quarter and full year of 2009 benefited from a fourth quarter deduction related to the closure of a foreign subsidiary. The effective GAAP rates for the fourth quarter and full year of 2008 were significantly impacted by the impairment of goodwill, as a substantial portion of the impairment was not deductible for tax purposes.

• The effective tax rates on pre-tax adjusted net income (“ANI”) were 34.8% and 37.4% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, compared with 40.5% and 39.2% in the prior year periods.

• The effective ANI rates were lower in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to lower accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

• The effective GAAP rates for the fourth quarter and full year of 2009 are lower than the 35% federal tax rate primarily due to the deduction relating to the closure of a foreign subsidiary.

• The effective ANI rates for the fourth quarter 2009 is lower than the 35% federal tax rate primarily due to the change in accruals related to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by state taxes. The effective ANI rate for the full year of 2009 is higher than the 35% federal tax rate primarily due to state taxes and accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

• Cash paid for income taxes in 2009 was $198 million, an increase of $19 million from the prior year primarily due to the timing of estimated payments.

Foreign Exchange

• As Expedia’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”), reported financial results are affected by the strength or weakness of the USD relative to currencies of international markets in which we operate. Management believes investors may find it useful to assess our growth rates both with and without the impact of foreign exchange.

• The estimated impact on growth rates from foreign exchange in the fourth quarter and full year was as follows (some numbers may not add due to rounding):

	Worldwide						International
	Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates excluding FX movements		FX impact on Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates excluding FX movements		FX impact on Y/Y growth rates

Gross Bookings	25.6	%	21.6	%	4.0	%	37.8	%	26.8	%	11.0	%
Revenue	12.4	%	5.0	%	7.4	%	33.4	%	13.8	%	19.5	%

OIBA	9.1	%	8.1	%	1.1	%	N / A		N / A		N / A

11 of 21

• In the fourth quarter of 2009, foreign currency rate fluctuations positively impacted our year-on-year growth rates due to depreciation in the dollar relative to the Pound, Euro and Canadian Dollar, the three foreign currencies which most impact our financial results.

• The estimated net positive impact of foreign exchange on revenue in the fourth quarter was $46 million, of which over half is a favorable year-over-year change in the book-to-stay impact, while the remainder is the positive impact from year-over-year appreciation in foreign currencies.

• The estimated net negative impact of foreign exchange on revenue for full year 2009 was $30 million, which includes a negative impact from the year-over-year depreciation of foreign currencies partially offset by a net positive impact from the year-over-year change in the book-to-stay impact.

• Our revenue hedging program, designed to offset the current period book-to-stay impact, resulted in a fourth quarter realized loss of $2 million (included in our calculation of OIBA), which offset approximately half of the fourth quarter 2009 book-to-stay benefit. The year-to-date realized loss on the revenue hedges was $11 million, offsetting approximately 90% of the 2009 book-to-stay benefit.

• The positive impact of foreign exchange on our cash balances was $9 million for 2009, and is included in “effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” on our statements of cash flows. This amount increased $87 million from the prior year losses on cash of $78 million, reflecting the relative appreciation of currencies in 2009, compared with their depreciation in 2008.

Acquisitions

• The impact of acquisitions, primarily related to CruiseShipCenters in the fourth quarter and both Venere and CruiseShipCenters for full year 2009, on the growth of gross bookings, revenue and OIBA was as follows (some numbers may not add due to rounding):

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2009						Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009
	Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates excluding acquisitions		Acquisition impact on Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates		Y/Y growth rates excluding acquisitions		Acquisition impact on Y/Y growth rates
Gross Bookings	25.6	%	23.9	%	1.7	%	2.6	%	0.0	%	2.6	%
Revenue	12.4	%	12.1	%	0.3	%	0.6	%	-1.1	%	1.7	%
OIBA	18.8	%	19.5	%	-0.6	%	9.1	%	9.0	%	0.1	%

• In the fourth quarter of 2009 we acquired Kuxun™, a leading China-based metasearch player.

Balance Sheet Notes

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments

• Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $702 million at December 31, 2009. Of this amount, $156 million is held by several subsidiaries in which we have a majority interest and which we therefore consolidate in our financial statements, but whose cash we generally do not consider available for our working capital purposes.

• The $59 million decrease in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments for the full year of 2009 primarily relates to credit facility payments, cash taxes, capital expenditures, and cash paid for interest, partially offset by OIBA and the working capital benefit related to our merchant hotel business.

Accounts Receivable

• Accounts receivable include receivables from credit card agencies primarily related to our merchant hotel business, receivables related to agency transactions (principally from airlines and global distribution systems), as well as receivables from managed corporate travel and advertising clients.

• Accounts receivable increased $41 million from December 31, 2008 primarily due to credit card receivables related to growth in our merchant hotel business, and to a lesser extent from increased receivables related to Venere, TripAdvisor and Egencia.

Prepaid Merchant Booking, Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

• Prepaid merchant bookings primarily relate to our merchant air business, and reflect prepayments to our airline partners for their portion of the gross booking prior to travelers’ dates of travel. Prepaid merchant bookings increased $23 million from December 31, 2008, due primarily to an increase in our merchant air business.

12 of 21

• Prepaid expenses and other current assets are primarily composed of prepaid marketing, merchant fees, license and maintenance agreements and insurance. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased $22 million from December 31, 2008, primarily due to a net current tax asset position at December 31, 2009 compared to a net liability position at the end of the prior year, offset partially by redemption of $11 million of our investment in the Reserve Primary Fund (“Reserve Fund”).

• As of December 31, 2009, we had recouped $75 million of our original $82 million investment in the Reserve Fund with the remaining balance classified in “prepaid expenses and other current assets.” In January 2010 we received an additional distribution of $5 million. In the fourth quarter 2008 we recorded a loss of $1 million related to our anticipated pro rata losses from the Reserve Fund’s holdings of Lehman Brothers securities.

Property and Equipment, net

• Property and equipment, net decreased approximately $11 million due primarily to the impact of $103 million in depreciation expense, partially offset by $92 million in property and equipment additions.

Long-Term Investments and Other Assets

• Long-term investments and other assets include transportation equipment, equity investments and capitalized debt issuance costs.

• The decrease of $27 million in long-term investments and other assets was due primarily to the acquisition of an additional interest in one of our equity method investments resulting in a 60% majority ownership interest. The results of this entity are now consolidated and no longer included as an equity method investment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

• Goodwill and intangible assets, net primarily relate to the acquisitions of hotels.com, Expedia.com and Hotwire.

• Goodwill increased $65 million from December 31, 2008 primarily due to the acquisition of Kuxun and the acquisition of a majority ownership interest in CruiseShipCenters.

• $690 million of intangible assets, net relates to intangible assets with indefinite lives, which are not amortized, principally trade names and trademarks. This amount did not change meaningfully from December 31, 2008.

• $133 million of intangible assets, net relates to intangible assets with definite lives, which are generally amortized over a period of two to twelve years. The majority of this amortization is not deductible for tax purposes.

• Amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles was $10 million and $38 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $17 million and $69 million for the prior year periods. The decrease was primarily due to the completed amortization of certain distribution agreements, as well as technology and supplier intangible assets, partially offset by amortization related to new business acquisitions. Assuming no impairments or additional acquisitions, we expect amortization expense of approximately $33 million in 2010 and $25 million in 2011.

Deferred Merchant Bookings and Accounts Payable, Merchant

• Deferred merchant bookings consist of amounts received from travelers who have not yet traveled. Fluctuations in the balance generally mirror the seasonal pattern of our gross bookings. Payments to suppliers related to these bookings are generally made within a few weeks after booking for air travel and, for all other merchant bookings, after the customer’s use of services and subsequent billing from the supplier. These billings are reflected as accounts payable, merchant on our balance sheet. For merchant hotel bookings there is a significant period of time between the receipt of cash from our travelers and the payment to suppliers.

• Changes in deferred merchant bookings and accounts payable, merchant were a net source of cash of $182 million in 2009, compared with a net use of cash of $161 million in 2008. The increase was due primarily to strength in our merchant hotel gross bookings in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the prior year. These impacts offset lower ADRs, slightly shorter booking windows and faster supplier payments.

Accounts Payable, Other

• Accounts payable, other primarily consists of payables related to our day-to-day business operations, and increased $10 million from December 31, 2008 primarily due to an increase in accrued marketing expenses and consulting fees.

13 of 21

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

• Accrued expenses principally relate to accruals for the costs of our call center and internet services, accruals for bonus, salary and wage liabilities, a reserve related to the potential settlement of occupancy tax issues, income taxes payable, accrued interest on our various debt instruments and loyalty program accruals.

• Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $74 million from December 31, 2008 primarily due to higher bonuses, accrued loyalty program reward costs, legal reserves and accrued severance costs, partially offset by a decrease in taxes payable and the payment of certain accrued earn-outs and incentives.

Borrowings

• As of December 31, 2009, Expedia, Inc. maintained a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in August 2010. There have been no borrowings on this facility since the balance was paid off in the first quarter of 2009. Outstanding letters of credit under the facility as of December 31, 2009 were $42 million, which amount was applied against our $1 billion borrowing capacity under the facility.

• Borrowings under the facility would bear interest reflecting our financial leverage, which based on our December 31, 2009 financials would equate to the base rate (typically 1, 3 or 6 month LIBOR) plus 262.5 basis points. Undrawn amounts bear interest at 50 basis points.

• In February 2010 we reached agreement on a new $750 million, three-year revolving credit facility, replacing our prior revolver. Pricing is based on the Company’s credit ratings, with drawn amounts bearing interest at Libor + 300 basis points, and undrawn amounts bearing interest at 50 basis points. Financial covenants remain the same under the new facility. Upfront and other transaction fees incurred on the new facility are approximately $8 million, and will be amortized over the life of the facility. We currently have no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

• Long-term debt relates to $500 million in registered 7.456% Senior Notes (the “7.456% Notes”) due 2018, and $400 million in 8.5% Notes due 2016 (the “8.5% Notes”). The 7.456% Notes are repayable in whole or in part on August 15, 2013 at the option of the note holders. The 8.5% Notes are non-callable until 2012. Both Note issues can be retired at any time at our option subject to make-whole premiums of 37.5 basis points in the case of the 7.456% Notes and 50 basis points in the case of the 8.5% Notes.

• As of December 31, 2009 we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our various debt facilities.

• Annual interest expense related to our 7.456% Notes is $37 million, paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. Annual interest expense related to our 8.5% Notes is $34 million, paid semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Accrued interest related to these notes was $31 million at December 31, 2009 and is classified in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our balance sheet.

Other Long-Term Liabilities and Noncontrolling Interest

• Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of uncertain tax positions recorded according to income tax accounting standards.

• Noncontrolling interest relates to the minority ownership position in eLong, an entity in which we own a 60% interest (55% fully-diluted) and results for which are consolidated for all periods presented.

Purchase Obligations and Contractual Commitments

• At December 31, 2009 we have agreements with certain vendors under which we have future minimum obligations of $32 million in 2010, $15 million in 2011 and $12 million in 2012. These minimum obligations are primarily for software and telecom services. These obligations are less than our projected use for those periods, and we expect payment to be more than the minimum obligations based on our actual use.

• Our estimated future minimum rental payments under operating leases with non-cancelable lease terms that expire after December 31, 2009 are $38 million for 2010, $35 million for 2011, $34 million for 2012, $29 million for 2013 and $26 million for 2014 and $69 million for 2015 and thereafter.

Common Stock

• In August 2006 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million common shares. There is no fixed termination date for the authorization, and as of the date of this release we have not repurchased any shares under this authorization.

• There are approximately 26 million shares of Expedia Class B common stock outstanding, owned by a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”). Class B shares are entitled to ten votes per share when voting on matters with the holders of Expedia common and preferred stock.

14 of 21

• Through the common stock our Chairman and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, owns directly, as well as through the common stock and Class B stock for which he has been assigned an irrevocable proxy from Liberty, Mr. Diller had a controlling 59% voting interest in Expedia, Inc. as of January 20, 2010.

• Expedia’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2010, with a payment date of March 31, 2010. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of Expedia’s Board of Directors. Based on our current shares outstanding we estimate the total payment for this quarterly dividend will be approximately $20 million.

Warrants

• As of December 31, 2009 there were 32.2 million privately held warrants outstanding, which, if exercised in full, would entitle holders to acquire 16.1 million common shares of Expedia, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $411 million (representing an average of approximately $26 per Expedia, Inc. common share). These warrants expire in May 2012.

Stock-Based Awards

• At December 31, 2009 we had 25 million stock-based awards outstanding, consisting of stock options to purchase 18 million common shares with a $15.17 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 5.3 years, and 7 million RSUs.

• In 2009 we transitioned to stock options as our primary form of annual employee stock-based compensation and granted a total of 10 million option awards and 1 million RSUs during the year.

Basic, Fully Diluted and Adjusted Diluted Shares

• Weighted average basic, fully diluted and adjusted diluted share counts for the fourth quarters and years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in 000s; some numbers may not add due to rounding):

	Three Months Ended December 31,		Year Ended December 31,
	2009	2008	2009	2008
Basic shares	288,886	286,873	288,214	286,167
Options	5,078	—	2,842	—
Warrants	274	—	92	—
RSUs	1,814	—	993	—
Fully diluted shares	296,052	286,873	292,141	286,167
Additional Dilution, Adjusted Income method	4,931	9,031	6,367	13,771
Adjusted diluted shares	300,983	295,904	298,508	299,938

• Adjusted diluted shares increased for the fourth quarter 2009 compared with fourth quarter 2008 due primarily to dilution from stock options granted in March 2009, partially offset by lower dilution from RSUs. Since we recorded a net loss for the fourth quarter and full year 2008, fully diluted share amounts for 2008 exclude the impacts of common stock equivalents because they are antidilutive. However, those amounts are included in the calculation of adjusted diluted shares.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Expedia, Inc. reports Operating Income Before Amortization, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and non-GAAP operating expense (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, 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. 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. 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. The definitions of Operating Income Before Amortization and Adjusted Net Income were revised in the first quarter of 2009 to better reflect our current operations and take into consideration the impact of new accounting literature.

Operating Income Before Amortization (“OIBA”) 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, and (ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements; (3) certain infrequently occurring items, including restructuring; (4) charges incurred for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain occupancy tax proceedings; and (5) gains (losses) realized on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net.

For the second quarter of 2009, infrequently occurring items excluded from OIBA also included a $19 million reserve relating to a settlement agreement for the settlement of all claims alleged in a consumer class action lawsuit.

We exclude the items listed above from OIBA because doing so provides investors greater insight into management decision making at Expedia. We believe OIBA is useful to investors because it is our primary internal metric by which management evaluates the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments, on which internal budgets are based, and by which management, including our Chief Executive Officer, is compensated. In addition, we believe that by excluding certain items, such as stock-based compensation and acquisition-related impacts, OIBA 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. Although depreciation is also a non-cash expense, it is included in OIBA because it is driven directly by the capital expenditure decisions made by management. OIBA has certain limitations in that it does 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 measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure, GAAP financial statements, and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments, to derive the non-GAAP measure. However, OIBA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income / (loss), such as tax rates, stock price, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, Expedia, Inc. is unable to provide a reconciliation to net income / (loss) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. We present a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP below.

17 of 21

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 certain subsidiary equity plans; (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) 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 short-term investments held by eLong; (5) certain other infrequently occurring items, including restructuring (6) charges incurred for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain occupancy tax proceedings; (7) discontinued operations; and (8) the noncontrolling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items. 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 other non-cash 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, 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 non-cash expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have similar limitations as OIBA. 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. In addition, due to historical accounting charges and credits related to our spin-off from IAC, changes in forfeiture estimates and other events, stock-based compensation has been highly variable in some historical quarters, impairing year-on-year and quarter-to-quarter comparability. 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.
