We classify our cash equivalents and investments within Level 1 and Level 2 as we value our cash equivalents and investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Valuation of the foreign currency forward contracts is based on foreign currency exchange rates in active markets, a Level 2 input. Valuation of the cross-currency interest rate swaps is based on foreign currency exchange rates and the current interest rate curve, Level 2 inputs.

We hold term deposit investments with financial institutions. Term deposits with original maturities of less than three months are classified as cash equivalents. Those with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified within short-term investments and those with remaining maturities of greater than one year are classified within long-term investments and other assets.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of term deposits, certificates of deposits, money market funds and commercial paper with maturities of three months or less and bank account balances.

We primarily invest in investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury securities, and asset-backed securities, most of which are classified as available-for-sale. As of September 30, 2025, we had $344 million of short-term and $276 million of long-term investments primarily classified as available-for-sale, which generally mature within five years. As of December 31, 2024, we had $300 million in short-term and $202 million of long-term available-for-sale investments. The amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value with gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses of approximately $1 million during both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. We review our available-for-sale securities on a regular basis for impairment. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not recognize an allowance for credit-related losses on any of our investments.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain merchant revenue exposures, foreign denominated liabilities related to certain of our loyalty programs and our other foreign currency-denominated operating liabilities. As of September 30, 2025, we were party to outstanding forward contracts hedging our liability exposures with a total net notional value of $5.2 billion. We had a net forward liability of $22 million ($37 million gross forward liability) as of September 30, 2025 and $2 million ($42 million gross forward liability) as of December 31, 2024 recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We recorded $(56) million and $123 million in net gains (losses) from foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as well as $144 million and $65 million during the nine

months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

From March 2022 to August 2025, we maintained two fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of €300 million and maturity dates of February 2026 (the “2022 swaps”), which were designated as net investment hedges of Euro assets. In August 2025, the 2022 swaps were effectively closed out by entering into a swap with offsetting terms, and we de-designated the 2022 swaps and discontinued hedge accounting. Simultaneously Expedia Group entered into a new fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap with a notional amount of €220 million and maturity date of February 2028 (the “2025 swap”). The 2025 swap was designated as a net investment hedge of Euro assets with the objective to protect the U.S. dollar value of our net investments in the Euro foreign operations due to movements in foreign currency. The fair value of the 2025 swaps was a $12 million liability as of September 30, 2025, recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The fair value of the 2022 swaps was an asset of $25 million as of December 31, 2024, recorded in long-term investments and other assets. The gain related to these swaps recognized in interest expense was $1 million and $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

At September 30, 2025 our equity investment represents our investment in Global Business Travel Group, Inc., a publicly traded company. We include this investment in long-term investments and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized gains (losses) of approximately $(90) million and $93 million within other, net in our consolidated statements of operations related to the fair value changes of this investment.

During the first nine months of 2025, we completed the sale of our equity investment in Despegar.com, Corp. for $187 million in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized gains of approximately $2 million and $28 million within other, net in our consolidated statements of operations for fair value changes up to the date of the sale in the current year.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized or the underlying investment is sold. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs. We measure our minority investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes with changes recorded within other, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible Assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized intangible impairment charges of $33 million related to an indefinite-lived trade name within our trivago segment that resulted a decline in revenue in the current year as well as trivago’s share price decline reducing its total market capitalization relative to its assets. The indefinite-lived trade name asset, classified as a Level 3 measurement, was valued using the relief-from-royalty method, which includes unobservable inputs, including projected revenues, royalty rates and weighted average cost of capital.

Minority Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of our minority investments without readily determinable fair values totaled $256 million and $293 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $37 million of losses related to a minority investment, resulting from a valuation using an option pricing model that utilized judgmental inputs such as discounts for lack of marketability and estimated exit event timing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold a minority investment for $15 million and recognized an immaterial gain on the transaction. As of September 30, 2025, total cumulative adjustments made to the initial cost basis of these investments included $164 million in unrealized downward adjustments (including impairments).
