Exhibit 99.1
Priceline.com Reports 2nd Quarter 2005 Financial Results
NORWALK, Conn., August 8, 2005 . . . Priceline.com Incorporated (Nasdaq: PCLN) today reported its financial results for the 2nd quarter 2005, which were consistent with the projected results announced by the company on July 14, 2005. Gross travel bookings for the quarter were $569.5 million, a 20.3% increase over the same period a year ago. Gross travel bookings refer to the total dollar value, inclusive of all taxes and fees, of all travel services purchased by consumers. Revenues in the 2nd quarter were $266.6 million, a 2.8% increase over the same period a year ago. Second quarter 2005 results include the operating results of Active Hotels, acquired in September 2004, and Travelweb, acquired in May 2004.
Priceline.com’s GAAP gross profit for the 2nd quarter 2005 was $65.2 million, up 21.3% over the same period in the previous year, while GAAP net income for the 2nd quarter 2005 was $12.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, vs. $0.28 in the same period a year ago. Pro forma gross profit for the 2nd quarter 2005 was $65.6 million, a 20.1% increase over the same period a year ago. Pro forma net income for the 2nd quarter 2005 was $16.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, an increase of 28.1% over the same period in the prior year and exceeding the First Call average analyst estimate of $0.37. The section below entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” provides a definition and information about the use of pro forma financial information used in this press release and the attached financial and statistical supplement reconciles pro forma financial information with priceline.com’s financial results under GAAP.
“Priceline posted strong bottom line results in the second quarter aided by our diverse service offerings and expense controls,” said priceline.com President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffery H. Boyd. “Solid growth in priceline.com’s European operations and the launch of our new U.S. retail hotel service helped drive solid growth in gross travel bookings.”
Mr. Boyd continued, “In an increasingly competitive online travel market, priceline.com continues to focus on developing new services and markets, offering differentiated products under a distinctive brand, and operating one of the market’s most efficient cost structures. The recent acquisitions of U.K. based Active Hotels and Netherlands based Bookings B.V. make Priceline Europe one of Europe’s largest and fastest growing online hotel reservation services with a unique combined inventory of approximately 18,000 hotels. With the launch of our new U.S. retail hotel service last quarter, priceline.com’s customers now have more ways to enjoy unique savings for all their travel needs. Finally, we have established what we believe to be an important new source of customers next year for our opaque services through the marketing partnership with Orbitz, which we announced last quarter. We believe these initiatives will make significant contributions to our results in the coming quarters.”
Forward Guidance
Looking forward, Mr. Boyd said, “We believe that priceline.com has a unique complement of travel services in the U.S. market, and a leading position among European online hotel reservation services. Going forward, we plan to build on our strengths in those markets with further service enhancements and advertising support where appropriate. Also, we intend over time to continue to integrate our global service offerings to make them available to all priceline.com customers, regardless of where they live. We believe priceline.com is well-positioned to continue building its business through the balance of 2005 and beyond.”
Priceline.com issued the following guidance for 3rd quarter 2005:
• Year-over-year increases in gross travel bookings of approximately 35%;
• Year-over-year increase in revenue of approximately 2.5%;
• Year-over-year increase in pro forma gross profit of approximately 40% to 42%; and
• Pro forma net income of between $0.34 to $0.40 per diluted share.
For the full-year 2005, priceline.com said it expects pro forma net income to be in the range of $1.20 to $1.30 per diluted share.
A reconciliation of pro forma financial results to GAAP results is included in the attached financial and statistical supplement. Pro forma gross profit guidance for the 3rd quarter 2005 excludes the after-tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles associated with the acquisition of Travelweb LLC. Pro forma net income per diluted share guidance for the 3rd quarter and full-year 2005 excludes the after-tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles (primarily associated with the acquisitions of Travelweb and Active Hotels), stock-based compensation expense, option payroll tax expense, and, as applicable, the payment of non-cash preferred stock dividends, which, when aggregated, are expected to total approximately $5.0 million and $17.5 million, respectively. In addition, pro forma net income per diluted share guidance for the 3rd quarter 2005 and full-year 2005 excludes the anticipated impact of EITF 04-08 (“Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share”), which was effective as of December 15, 2004 and which revises the method for calculating diluted shares outstanding for purposes of computing GAAP net income per diluted share. Finally, pro forma gross profit and pro forma net income per diluted share guidance for the 3rd quarter and full-year 2005 excludes the after-tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles associated with the July 2005 acquisition of Bookings B.V., which the company is unable to forecast at this time without unreasonable effort.

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, “believe(s),” “intend,” “expect(s),” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “plan(s),” “anticipate(s),” “estimate(s),” “predict(s),” “potential,” “target(s),” or “continue,” reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’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 services as the result of, among other things, terrorist attacks;
• adverse changes in the Company’s relationships with airlines and other product and service providers which could include, without limitation, the withdrawal of suppliers from the priceline.com system (either priceline.com’s retai l or “opaque” services, or both):
• the loss or reduction of global distribution fees;
• the bankruptcy or insolvency of another major domestic airline;
• the effects of increased competition, including, without limitation, adverse effects from the continued consolidation of on-line travel intermediaries;
• systems-related failures and/or security breaches;
• difficulties integrating recent acquisitions, such as Active Hotels and Bookings B.V., including, ensuring the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal controls and disclosure controls of acquired businesses;
• 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 the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company’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 after-tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles. Pro forma net income excludes the after tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, option payroll tax expense and, when applicable, the payment of non-cash preferred stock dividends. In addition, pro forma net income per share excludes the accounting impact of EITF 04-08 (“Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share”), which was effective as of December 15, 2004 and revises the method for calculating diluted shares outstanding for purposes of computing GAAP net income per share.
Pro forma gross profit, pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share 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 gross profit, pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share that exclude the after-tax effects of non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles 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 expense and the non-cash expense associated with the payment of preferred stock dividends are excluded from pro forma
net income and pro forma net income per share because they do not impact cash earnings and are reflected in earnings per share through increased share counts. Option payroll tax expense 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. Finally, the accounting impact of EITF 04-08 (“Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share”), which requires that priceline.com use the “if-converted” method of accounting for convertible debt instruments when calculating earnings per share, has been excluded because the common stock that underly priceline.com’s 1% Convertible Senior Notes and priceline.com’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes are generally not issuable unless our common stock trades at prices of $44.00 per share and $45.54 per share, respectively.
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.
