⁽²⁾ Upon completion of its initial public offering on December 16, 2016, trivago became a separately listed company on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and, therefore, is subject to its own reporting and filing requirements which could result in possible differences that are not expected to be material to Expedia Group.

⁽³⁾ Expedia Group does not calculate or report net income by segment.

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 14-19 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 Group was $1 million in the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of 98% compared to the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was $463 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 18% compared to the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA excluding trivago was $483 million, an increase of 24% compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Consolidated amortization of intangible assets increased $6 million to $72 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily related to recent business acquisitions.

Page 5 of 21

Impairment of Goodwill

Impairment of goodwill was $61 million in the second quarter of 2018, and we did not incur any impairment of goodwill in the second quarter of 2017.

Interest and Other

Consolidated interest income increased $6 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher invested balances and to a lesser extent higher rates of return. Consolidated interest expense increased $8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, due to the issuance of the $1 billion of senior unsecured notes in September 2017.

Consolidated other, net was a loss of $90 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to a loss of $13 million in the second quarter of 2017. The loss in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily related to a loss on a minority equity investment, while the loss in the second quarter of 2017 was related to foreign exchange as well as a loss on a minority equity investment. Expedia Group’s revenue hedging program is designed primarily to offset the book-to-stay impact on merchant hotel revenue. Expedia Group 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 34% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 5% for the second quarter of 2017. The change in the GAAP effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), the 2018 goodwill impairment, a decrease in excess tax benefits for stock compensation as well as other discrete tax items. The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income ("ANI") was 16% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 27% for the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in the ANI effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 was primarily driven by the Tax Act.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $4.9 billion at June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 billion and consolidated free cash flow totaled $2.1 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, 2018, consolidated free cash flow increased $48 million compared to the prior year period.

Long-term investments and other assets includes an investment in Despegar.com, Corp. ("Despegar"), which is recorded at a fair value of $201 million as of June 30, 2018, and $338 million of a $350 million investment made in Traveloka Holding Limited in July 2017, accounted for as a cost method investment, with a small portion allocated to intangible assets. As of January 1, 2018, we adopted the new guidance related to accounting for minority equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option, and minority equity investments with readily determinable fair values, such as our investment in Despegar, must be carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through net income. Previously, this investment was designated as available for sale and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected through other comprehensive income (loss).

Current maturities of long-term debt includes $500 million in 7.456% senior notes due in August 2018. Long-term debt, net of applicable discounts and debt issuance costs, totaled $3.7 billion at June 30, 2018 consisting of $990 million in 3.8% senior notes due 2028; $742 million in 5.0% senior notes due 2026; $496 million in 4.5% senior notes due 2024; $755 million (€650 million) in 2.5% senior notes due 2022; and $748 million in 5.95% senior notes due 2020. In addition, as of June 30, 2018, Expedia Group had a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which was essentially untapped.

At June 30, 2018, Expedia Group had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 22 million shares of Expedia Group common stock, consisting of options to purchase approximately 19 million common shares with a $99.09 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 4.7 years, and approximately 3 million restricted stock units ("RSUs").

During the first six months of 2018, Expedia Group repurchased 3.7 million shares of Expedia Group common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $409 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $110.61 per share). As of June 30, 2018, there were approximately 1.2 million shares and 15.0 million shares remaining under the February 2015 and April 2018 repurchase authorizations, respectively. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2018, we repurchased an additional 0.3 million shares for a total cost of $42 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $124.95 per share).

On June 14, 2018, Expedia Group paid a quarterly dividend of $45 million ($0.30 per common share). In addition, on July 23, 2018, the Executive Committee of Expedia Group’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.32 per share of outstanding common stock to be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 23, 2018, with a payment date of September 13, 2018.

Notes:

• The metrics above include Orbitz Worldwide following the acquisition on September 17, 2015 and HomeAway following the acquisition on December 15, 2015.

• HomeAway gross bookings and room nights operating metrics include on-platform and reported transactions from all HomeAway brands, with the exception of BedandBreakfast.com and TopRural (which, if included, would collectively add less than an estimated 2% to each of gross bookings and room nights). Gross bookings and room nights for Stayz, Bookabach and Travelmob (which collectively represent less than 10% of total transactions) represent our best estimates, including gross bookings and room nights for Stayz and Bookabach that remain off-platform while we transition those brands to HomeAway platform brands, which started in the second quarter of 2018.

• Advertising & Media Revenue includes 3rd party revenue from trivago. All trivago revenue is classified as international.

• During the first quarter of 2018, we updated our allocations methodology and recast the historical domestic and international revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by segment information presented to be on a comparable basis.

• Some numbers may not add due to rounding. All percentages above and throughout this release are calculated on precise, unrounded numbers.

Hotel room nights are reported on a stayed basis and include both merchant and agency hotel stays. Property nights are reported upon the first day of stay and check-in to a property and represent the total number of nights for which a property is rented.

Worldwide Air metrics: Reported on a booked basis and includes both merchant and agency air bookings.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Expedia Group 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), 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) and 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. 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 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2016 and the definition for Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was revised in the fourth quarters of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017. 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 Group 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;

Page 14 of 21

(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.

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 Group plus the following items, net of tax (which excludes the impact of significant changes resulting from tax legislation such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act):

(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 or lose controlling interests;

(3) currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash;

(4) Since adoption of new accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2018, the changes in fair value of equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method and those that are consolidated);

(5) certain other items, including restructuring charges;

(6) 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;

(7) discontinued operations;

(8) the non-controlling interest impact of the aforementioned adjustment items; and

(9) 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 Group’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.

Page 15 of 21

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 Group’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. We added additional detail for the capital expenditures associated with building our new headquarters facility in Seattle, Washington. We believe separating out capital expenditures for this discrete project is important to provide additional transparency to investors related to operating versus project-related capital expenditures. 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 Group 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.

Expedia Group, Inc. (excluding trivago) In order to provide increased transparency on the transaction-based component of the business, Expedia Group is reporting results both in total and excluding trivago.
