## Results and guidance

- **August 4, 2026 (Q2 2026 results; 0001075531-26-000036).** Room nights 325 million (+5%), gross bookings $51.0 billion (+9%, about +8% constant currency), revenue $7.4 billion (+8%, about +7% constant currency). GAAP net income $1.95 billion (+118%), GAAP diluted EPS $2.53, Adjusted EPS $2.54 (+15%), Adjusted EBITDA $2.6 billion (+9%). The company raised its expected annual run-rate savings from the Transformation Program to about $650 million, to be fully realized by the end of 2027. Q3 2026 guidance: room nights +3% to +5%, gross bookings +4% to +6%, revenue +4% to +6%, Adjusted EBITDA +4% to +6%. Full-year 2026 guidance: gross bookings and revenue growth of high single digits, Adjusted EBITDA growth of high single digits, Adjusted EPS growth of low to mid-teens. The outlook assumes the indirect effects of the Middle East conflict (elevated flight prices, reduced flight capacity on some routes, softer long-haul demand) persist through the third quarter.
- **April 28, 2026 (Q1 2026 results; 0001075531-26-000024).** Room nights 338 million (+6%), gross bookings $53.8 billion (+15%, about +8% constant currency), revenue $5.5 billion (+16%, about +10% constant currency), GAAP net income $1.1 billion (+225%), Adjusted EBITDA $1.3 billion (+19%). The company estimated that the Middle East conflict reduced room night growth by about 2 percentage points. Q2 2026 guidance: room nights +2% to +4%, gross bookings +4% to +6%, revenue +4% to +6%, Adjusted EBITDA +4% to +6%. Full-year guidance was given as gross bookings growth of high single digits to low double digits and revenue growth of high single digits (both reported), Adjusted EBITDA growth slightly faster than revenue, and Adjusted EPS growth of low to mid-teens. The full-year outlook assumed the conflict's impact continues through June, followed by a recovery in bookings in the second half.
- **February 18, 2026 (Q4 and full-year 2025 results; 0001075531-26-000008).** Full-year 2025 room nights 1,235 million (+8%), gross bookings $186.1 billion (+12%), revenue $26.9 billion (+13%), GAAP net income $5.4 billion (-8%), Adjusted EBITDA $9.9 billion (+20%). Annual run-rate Transformation Program savings of about $550 million were enabled. Initial 2026 guidance was gross bookings and revenue growth of low double digits and Adjusted EBITDA growth faster than revenue.
