For the first quarter of 2019, total gross bookings increased 8% (including 3 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact), driven primarily by growth in Expedia Partner Solutions and Brand Expedia. Domestic gross bookings increased 11% and international gross bookings increased 4% (including 6 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact).

For the first quarter of 2019, total revenue increased 4% (including 3 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact). Excluding trivago, total revenue increased 6% (including 3 percentage points of negative foreign exchange impact), driven primarily by growth in Expedia Partner Solutions, Brand Expedia and Vrbo.

Product & Services Detail

As a percentage of total worldwide revenue in the first quarter of 2019, lodging accounted for 66%, advertising and media accounted for 10%, air accounted for 10% and all other revenues accounted for the remaining 14%.

Lodging revenue increased 7% in the first quarter of 2019 on a 9% increase in room nights stayed driven by growth at Expedia Partner Solutions, Hotels.com and Brand Expedia, partly offset by a 2% decrease in revenue per room night, due to the negative impact of foreign exchange.

Air revenue increased 3% in the first quarter of 2019 on an 11% increase in air tickets sold driven by growth at Expedia Partner Solutions and Brand Expedia, partly offset by a 7% decrease in revenue per ticket, which was driven by a shift in product mix and reclassification of certain partner fees to other revenue, as well as a negative impact from foreign exchange.

Advertising and media revenue decreased 6% (including 4 percentage points of negative foreign currency impact) due to declines at trivago which were partly offset by strong growth at Expedia Group Media Solutions. Other revenue in the first quarter of 2019 was flat compared to the prior year.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

Cost of Revenue

•

For the first quarter of 2019, total GAAP and adjusted cost of revenue increased 5% and 6%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in customer operations expenses, primarily at Expedia Partner Solutions and Egencia, as well as an increase in cloud expense. Cloud expense in cost of revenue was $32 million during the first quarter of 2019 compared to $23 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Selling and Marketing

•

For the first quarter of 2019, both total GAAP and adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 1% compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to a $22 million increase in direct costs partly offset by a decrease in indirect costs. Indirect costs represented 18% of total GAAP selling and marketing costs and 16% of total adjusted selling and marketing expense in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 18% and 17%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2018.


•	Adjusted selling and marketing expense excluding trivago increased 8% in the first quarter of 2019 reflecting higher direct costs at Vrbo, Expedia Partner Solutions and Brand Expedia. The increase was partly offset by a decline in indirect selling and marketing costs.

Technology and Content

•

For the first quarter of 2019, total GAAP and adjusted technology and content expense increased 9% and 6%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to investments in our ecommerce platform and products. The growth in GAAP technology and content expense includes an increase in depreciation and amortization of technology assets, which is excluded from adjusted expenses. Cloud

expense in technology and content expense was $13 million during the first quarter of 2019, consistent with the first quarter of 2018.

General and Administrative


•	For the first quarter of 2019, both total GAAP and adjusted general and administrative expense decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily driven by declines at trivago, as well as lower people costs.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Consolidated amortization of intangible assets decreased $20 million to $52 million in the first quarter of 2019, due to the completion of amortization related to certain intangible assets.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In connection with the centralization and migration of certain operational functions and systems, we recognized $10 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges related to severance and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest and Other

Consolidated interest income in the first quarter of 2019 was consistent with the first quarter of 2018 at $11 million due to higher rates of return offsetting lower invested balances. Consolidated interest expense decreased $10 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of 2018, due to the repayment of $500 million of senior unsecured notes in August 2018.

Consolidated other, net was a gain of $20 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to a gain of $36 million in the first quarter of 2018. The gains in the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2018 were both primarily due to mark-to-market gains on minority equity investments. In addition, in the first quarter of 2019, other, net included a $12 million gain related to the release of a non-operating liability previously recorded in connection with an acquisition, which was deemed not probable of payment.

Income Taxes

The effective GAAP tax rate was 29% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 12% in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a lower foreign rate differential and an increase in excess

Page 4 of 18

tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net loss was 7% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 13% for the first quarter of 2018 as certain foreign losses, for which Expedia Group does not record a tax benefit, accounted for a larger portion of adjusted net loss.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $4.6 billion at March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 billion and consolidated free cash flow totaled $1.9 billion. Both measures include $2.0 billion from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an increase in deferred merchant bookings. Free cash flow increased $391 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities related to changes in working capital and higher adjusted EBITDA partly offset by increased capital expenditures related to our Seattle headquarters.

Long-term investments and other assets includes our minority investments in Despegar.com, Corp. ("Despegar"), which is recorded at a fair value of $143 million as of March 31, 2019, and our investment in Traveloka Holding Limited. We account for minority equity investments with readily determinable fair values, such as our investment in Despegar, at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through net income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are adjusted for impairments and observable price changes.

Long-term debt, net of applicable discounts, debt issuance costs and current maturities, totaled $3.7 billion at March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, Expedia Group had a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was essentially untapped.

At March 31, 2019, Expedia Group had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 21 million shares of Expedia Group common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 16 million common shares with a $101.79 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 4.2 years, and approximately 5 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Beginning in 2019, RSUs became Expedia Group's primary form of stock-based compensation.

As of March 31, 2019, there were approximately 12.2 million shares remaining under an April 2018 repurchase authorization.

On March 27, 2019, Expedia Group paid a quarterly dividend of $47 million ($0.32 per common share). In addition, on May 1, 2019, the Executive Committee of Expedia Group’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 23, 2019, with a payment date of June 13, 2019. Based on current shares outstanding, the total payment for this quarterly dividend is estimated to be approximately $48 million. Future declaration of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of Expedia Group’s Board of Directors.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Expedia Group reports Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Expenses (non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling and marketing, non-GAAP technology and content and non-GAAP general and administrative), all of which are supplemental measures to GAAP and are defined by the SEC as non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are among the primary metrics by which management evaluates the performance of the business and on which internal budgets are based. Management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss) and Adjusted EPS also exclude certain items related to transactional tax matters, which may ultimately be settled in cash. We urge investors to review the detailed disclosure regarding these matters in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Legal Proceedings sections, as well as the notes to the financial statements, included in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The definition of Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2016 and the definition for Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017. The definition of Adjusted Expenses was revised in the first quarter of 2014 and in the second quarter 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia Group adjusted for:

(1) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests;

(2) provision for income taxes;

(3) total other expenses, net;

(4) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to certain subsidiary equity plans;

(5) acquisition-related impacts, including

(i) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairment,

Page 12 of 18

(ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements; and

(iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree;

(6) certain other items, including restructuring;

(7) items included in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to transactional taxes (e.g. hotel and excise taxes), related to court decisions and final settlements, and charges incurred, if any, for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain transactional tax proceedings;

(8) that portion of gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net that relate to revenue recognized in the period; and

(9) depreciation.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core operating results and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analysts and investors to evaluate our future on-going performance as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison of our performance and projected cash earnings with our historical results from prior periods and to the results of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. In addition, we believe that by excluding certain items, such as stock-based compensation and acquisition-related impacts, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income generated from our business and allows investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing cash earnings capabilities of our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) generally captures all items on the statements of operations that occur in normal course operations and have been, or ultimately will be, settled in cash and is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia Group plus the following items, net of tax (which excludes the impact of significant changes resulting from tax legislation such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act):

(1) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to equity plans of certain subsidiaries and equity-method investments;

(2) acquisition-related impacts, including;

(i) amortization of intangible assets, including as part of equity-method investments, and goodwill and intangible asset impairment;

(ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements;

(iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree; and

(iv) gains (losses) recognized on non-controlling investment basis adjustments when we acquire or lose controlling interests;

(3) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash;

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

(5) certain other items, including restructuring charges;

(6) items included in Legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to transactional taxes (e.g., hotel occupancy and excise taxes), related court decisions and final settlements, and charges incurred, if any, for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain transactional tax proceedings, including as part of equity method investments;

(7) discontinued operations;

(8) the non-controlling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items; and

(9) unrealized gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is useful to investors because it represents Expedia Group's combined results, taking into account depreciation, which management believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the impact of certain expenses and items not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, which include dilution from options per the treasury stock method and include all shares relating to RSUs in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS. This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a

Page 13 of 18

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 Group's consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense, taxes, foreign exchange gains or losses, and minority interest, but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS have similar limitations as Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not include all items that affect our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statements of operations.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the operating cash flow that our operating businesses generate, less capital expenditures but before taking into account other cash movements that are not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses, such as financing activities, foreign exchange or certain investing activities. We added additional detail for the capital expenditures associated with building our new headquarters facility in Seattle, Washington. We believe separating out capital expenditures for this discrete project is important to provide additional transparency to investors related to operating versus project-related capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Adjusted Expenses (cost of revenue, selling and marketing, technology and content and general and administrative expenses) exclude stock-based compensation related to expenses for stock options, restricted stock units and other equity compensation under applicable stock-based compensation accounting standards as well as depreciation expense. Expedia Group excludes stock-based compensation and depreciation expenses from these measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that we do not believe are necessarily reflective of our ongoing cash operating expenses and cash operating income. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting applicable stock-based compensation accounting standards, management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing management with an important tool for financial operational decision making and for evaluating our own recurring core business operating results over different periods of time. Exclusion of depreciation expense also allows the year-over-year comparison of expenses on a basis that is consistent with the year-over-year comparison of Adjusted EBITDA. There are certain limitations in using financial measures that do not take into account stock-based compensation and depreciation expense, including the fact that stock-based compensation is a recurring expense and a valued part of employees' compensation and depreciation expense is also a recurring expense and is a direct result of previous capital investment decisions made by management. Therefore, it is important to evaluate both our GAAP and non-GAAP measures. See the Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock-based compensation and depreciation expense by line item.

Expedia Group, Inc. (excluding trivago) In order to provide increased transparency on the transaction-based component of the business, Expedia Group is reporting results both in total and excluding trivago.

In addition, we evaluate certain operating and financial measures, including revenue growth, on both an as-reported and excluding the impact of foreign exchange, FX neutral, basis. FX neutral results are among the primary metrics by which management evaluates the performance of the business and management believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses to analyze our results. We estimate FX neutral revenue growth by (i) excluding the FX impacts resulting from the time period between a transaction's booking date and revenue recognition date for both the current and prior year periods, and (ii) converting our current-year period results for transactions recorded in currencies other than U.S. Dollars using the corresponding prior-year period exchange rates rather than the current-year period exchange rates.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA for our Core OTA and Egencia segments includes allocations of certain expenses, primarily cost of revenue and facilities. Our Core OTA segment includes the total costs of our global supply organizations and Core OTA and Vrbo include the realized foreign currency gains or losses related to the forward contracts hedging a component of our net merchant lodging revenue. We base the allocations primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics. We do not allocate certain shared expenses such as accounting, human resources, information technology and legal to our reportable segments. We include these expenses in Corporate and Eliminations. Our allocation methodology is periodically evaluated and may change.
