Adjusted Cost of Revenue
| |
• | For the second quarter of 2017, total adjusted cost of revenue increased 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2016, due to $19 million more in data center, cloud and other costs. Cloud expense during the second quarter of 2017 was $12 million, compared to $1 million in the second quarter of 2016. |
Adjusted Selling and Marketing
| |
• | For the second quarter of 2017, total adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 27%, compared to the second quarter of 2016, due to a $279 million increase in direct costs, including online and offline marketing expenses. trivago and Brand Expedia accounted for the majority of the direct selling and marketing cost increase. |

• | For the second quarter of 2017, indirect costs increased $22 million, primarily driven by growth in personnel. As a percentage of total adjusted selling and marketing, indirect costs represented 15% in the second quarter of 2017, down from 17% in the second quarter of 2016. |
Adjusted Technology and Content
| |
• | For the second quarter of 2017, total adjusted technology and content expense increased 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to growth in personnel and overhead from increased headcount. Cloud expense during the second quarter of 2017 was $9 million, compared to $8 million in the second quarter of 2016. |
Adjusted General and Administrative
| |
• | For the second quarter of 2017, total adjusted general and administrative expense was largely consistent with the second quarter of 2016. |
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense increased $35 million or 30% to $151 million in the second quarter of 2017, due primarily to increased expenses related to previously capitalized software development costs for completed technology projects that have been placed into service, as well as investments in corporate technology infrastructure.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense decreased $50 million or 50% to $50 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the exercise of Expedia's call right on certain trivago shares held by employees in the second quarter of 2016, described below.
During the second quarter of 2016, Expedia exercised its call right on certain shares held by trivago employees,
which were originally awarded in the form of stock options pursuant to the trivago employee stock option plan and subsequently exercised by such employees, and elected to do so at a premium to fair value, which resulted in an incremental stock-based compensation charge of approximately $49 million in the second quarter of 2016 pursuant to liability award treatment. The acquisition of these employee minority interests increased Expedia’s ordinary ownership of trivago by a nominal amount.

(2) Expedia does not calculate or report net income by segment.
* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 13-17 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure.
Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.
GAAP net income attributable to Expedia was $57 million in the second quarter of 2017, an improvement of 79% compared to the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $393 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 19% compared to the second quarter of 2016.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Consolidated amortization of intangible assets decreased $18 million to $66 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the prior period completion of amortization of certain intangible assets.
Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges
In connection with activities to centralize and optimize certain operations as well as migrate technology platforms in the prior year, primarily related to previously disclosed acquisitions, we recognized $10 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the second quarter of 2017 and during the second quarter of 2016. Based on current plans, which are subject to change, we expect to incur approximately $10 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the remainder of 2017 related to these integrations.
Interest and Other
Consolidated interest income increased $4 million, or 87%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher invested balances and higher rates of return. Consolidated interest expense in the second quarter of 2017 was consistent with the second quarter of 2016 at $43 million.
Consolidated other, net was a loss of $13 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. The loss in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily related to foreign exchange as well as an impairment of an investment. The gain in the second quarter of 2016 was primarily related to foreign exchange. Expedia’s revenue hedging program is designed primarily to offset the book-to-stay impact on merchant hotel revenue. Expedia includes that portion of any realized gains or losses from the revenue hedging program that are included in other, net that relate to revenue recognized in the period in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
Income Taxes
The GAAP effective tax rate was 5% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 149% for the second quarter of 2016. The effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016 were primarily driven by discrete income tax items, specifically the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. The effective tax rates on pretax adjusted net income (“ANI”) were 27% for both the second quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2016. The rates are consistent year-over-year.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $3.8 billion at June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 billion and consolidated free cash flow totaled $2.0 billion. Both measures include $1.9 billion from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an increase in deferred merchant bookings. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, consolidated free cash flow increased $663 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.
Long-term debt, net of applicable discounts and debt issuance costs, totaled $3.2 billion at June 30, 2017 consisting of $741 million in 5.0% senior notes due 2026; $495 million in 4.5% senior notes due 2024; $738 million (€650 million) in 2.5% senior notes due 2022; $747 million in 5.95% senior notes due 2020 and $500 million in 7.456% senior notes due 2018. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, Expedia had a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was essentially untapped.
At June 30, 2017, Expedia, Inc. had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 21 million shares of Expedia common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 19 million common shares with a $91.00 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 4.7 years, and approximately 2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
During the first six months of 2017, Expedia, Inc. repurchased 0.8 million shares of Expedia, Inc. common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $102 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $130.95 per share). As of June 30, 2017, there were approximately 6.5 million shares remaining under the February 2015 repurchase authorization.
On June 15, 2017, Expedia, Inc. paid a quarterly dividend of $42 million ($0.28 per common share). In addition, on July 26, 2017, the Executive Committee of Expedia’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 24, 2017, with a payment date of September 14, 2017. Based on current shares outstanding, the total payment for this quarterly dividend is estimated to be approximately $45 million. Future declaration of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of Expedia’s Board of Directors.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Expedia, Inc. 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) and certain measures excluding eLong, Inc., 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), 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, and we urge investors to review the detailed disclosure regarding these matters in the Management Discussion and Analysis, 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 Net Income (Loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the definition for Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2016. 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, Inc. 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,
(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. The definition for Adjusted EBITDA was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012.
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, Inc. plus net of tax:
(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 controlling interests;
(3) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash or investments held by eLong;
(4) certain other items, including restructuring charges;
(5) 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;
(6) discontinued operations;
(7) the non-controlling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items and
(8) 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, Inc.’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. The definition for adjusted net income (loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011 and 2012.
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 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’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. 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, Inc. 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. In addition, in the second quarter of 2015, we included an adjustment to remove operating expenses related to eLong due to our sale on May 22, 2015.
Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong). Expedia sold its ownership interest in eLong, Inc. on May 22, 2015. In order to allow comparison with prior periods for the ongoing Expedia businesses, Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong) gross bookings, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EPS and net income (loss) attributable to the Company each exclude the impact of eLong.
