Priceline.com Reports 2nd Quarter 2004 Financial Results
Gross travel bookings are $470.4 million, up 58% year over year
Airline ticket unit bookings grow 60%
NORWALK, Conn., August 2, 2004 . . . Priceline.com® Incorporated (Nasdaq: PCLN) today reported 2nd quarter 2004 gross travel bookings of $470.4 million, a 58% increase over a year ago. Gross travel bookings refer to the total dollar value inclusive of taxes and fees of all travel products purchased by consumers. Revenues were $259.4 million, an increase of 8% compared to $239.6 million during the same period a year ago.
Pro forma gross profit for the 2nd quarter 2004 was $54.6 million, a 35% increase over the same period a year ago. Pro forma net income for the 2nd quarter 2004 was $12.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share. Pro forma gross profit and pro forma net income exclude the effects of non-cash amortization of acquisition expense (primarily associated with priceline.com’s acquisition of a majority of the equity of Travelweb LLC) and pro forma net income further excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, option payroll tax expense and, when applicable, the payment of non-cash preferred stock dividends. Priceline.com’s GAAP gross profit for the 2nd quarter was $53.8 million. Priceline.com’s GAAP net income per share for the 2nd quarter was $0.29, an increase of 46% over 2nd quarter 2003. The attached financial and statistical supplement reconciles pro forma financial information with priceline.com’s financial results under GAAP and the section below entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” provides further information about the use of pro forma financial measures used in this press release.
Priceline.com reported strong 2nd quarter 2004 growth across its travel products. Airline ticket unit bookings grew 60% compared to a year ago, while hotel room night unit bookings grew 32%, and rental car day unit bookings grew 63%. Unit bookings are inclusive of priceline.com’s opaque Name Your Own Price® products and its growing complement of retail travel products offered on priceline.com and through sister sites Travelweb.com, Lowestfare.com, Rentalcars.com and Breezenet.com. Unit bookings also include products sold as part of priceline.com’s packaged vacations service.
“The expansion of priceline’s product line to give our customers greater travel choices has contributed to improved topline results. In addition, acquired businesses such as Travelweb, are performing well,” said priceline’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffery H. Boyd. “With a strong topline performance, priceline.com was able to deliver pro forma earnings growth of 63% year-over-year, despite increased investments in new products and advertising.”
Operating Highlights
• Travelweb.com acquisition. In May, priceline.com increased its ownership in the Travelweb.com retail hotel reservation Web site to 85.7%. Phase I site improvements have been made on Travelweb.com and development is under way to make more extensive retail choices available to priceline.com customers through Travelweb.
• Expansion of rental car retail offerings. Priceline.com launched a new retail rental car search and booking tool on RentalCars.com in May. This tool, which expands choice and should aid conversion and customer retention, is scheduled to be rolled out to other owned websites in the coming months.
• New packaged vacations service launch. In the 2nd quarter, priceline.com gave consumers even more ways to save on vacation packages. In most instances, when customers pick a vacation destination, priceline.com gives them two options. They can choose the exact hotel they want, as well as pick their flight times and itineraries. Or, for deeper savings, they can let priceline.com pick the flights for them. In all cases, customers see a final price before choosing their vacation and hotels come with full descriptions, maps and more.
“Now that priceline has a full suite of retail travel products, the next step is to optimize the offering of those products on priceline.com, particularly in hotels and rental cars,” said Mr. Boyd. “In the coming months we intend to enhance the presentation of retail choices to hotel and rental car customers and improve packaging and cross-sell offerings in all our product paths. Based on our success with our new airline ticket and packages products, we believe these steps will significantly strengthen priceline.com’s product offering and contribute to topline performance into 2005.”
Forward Guidance
Looking forward, Mr. Boyd commented, “We intend to continue our investment in product offerings and advertising, including Travelweb, since those investments are clearly paying dividends and position us well for the future. We expect priceline.com will continue to deliver solid earnings growth this year while positioning itself for continued growth in 2005 and beyond.”
Priceline.com issued the following guidance for the 2nd half of 2004:
• Average quarterly gross bookings growth of 44% - 48% on a year-over-year basis;
• Average quarterly airline ticket unit sales growth of approximately 60% on a year-over-year basis;
• Average quarterly hotel room night unit sales growth of approximately 25% on a year-over-year basis;
• Average quarterly rental car day unit sales growth of approximately 20% on a year-over-year basis;
• Average quarterly revenue growth of approximately 5% on a year-over-year basis; and
• Average quarterly pro forma gross profit growth of approximately 35% on a year-over-year basis.
Priceline issued the following guidance for the 3rd quarter of 2004:
• Pro forma net income per share of $0.25 to $0.30 per share.
Priceline issued the following guidance for the 4th quarter of 2004:
• Pro forma net income per share of $0.13 to $0.17 per share.
A reconciliation of pro forma financial results to GAAP results are included in the attached financial and statistical supplement. Priceline.com is targeting GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.21 to $0.26 in the 3rd quarter 2004 and $0.11 to $0.15 in the 4th quarter 2004, which includes the non-cash amortization of acquisition expense (primarily associated with the acquisition of Travelweb LLC), stock-based compensation, option payroll taxes and, when applicable, the payment of non-cash preferred stock dividends, totaling approximately $1.5 million to $1.8 million in the 3rd quarter 2004 and approximately $500,000 to $700,000 in the 4th quarter 2004.

Information About Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Expressions of future goals and similar expressions including, without limitation, “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “intend,” “does not currently expect,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “targets,” or “continue,” reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause priceline.com’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: adverse changes in general market conditions for leisure and other travel products as the result of, among other things, terrorist attacks; adverse changes in priceline.com’s relationships with airlines and other product and service providers including, without limitation, the withdrawal of suppliers from the priceline.com system; the bankruptcy or insolvency of another major domestic airline; the effects of increased competition; systems-related failures and/or security breaches; priceline.com’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights; losses by priceline.com and its licensees; final adjustments made in closing the quarter; legal and regulatory risks and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. For a detailed discussion of these and other factors that could cause priceline.com’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to priceline.com’s most recent Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and Form 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Pro forma gross profit excludes the effect of non-cash amortization of acquisition expense associated with the acquisition of Travelweb LLC. Pro forma net income excludes the effects of non-cash amortization of acquisition expense (primarily associated with the acquisition of Travelweb LLC), stock based compensation, option payroll taxes and, when applicable, the payment of non-cash preferred stock dividends. Pro forma net income and pro forma gross profit are “non-GAAP financial measures,” as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Priceline.com believes that pro forma net income and pro forma gross profit that exclude non-cash amortization of acquisition expense are useful for investors to evaluate priceline.com’s future on-going performance because they enable a more meaningful comparison of priceline.com’s projected cash earnings and performance with its historical results from prior periods. Stock based compensation and preferred stock dividends are excluded from pro forma net income because they do not impact cash earnings and are reflected in earnings per share through increased share counts. Option payroll tax often shows volatility unrelated to operating results since the expense is driven primarily by option exercise activity and the market price of priceline.com’s common stock. The presentation of this financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. The attached financial and statistical supplement reconciles pro forma financial information with priceline.com’s financial results under GAAP.
