***Expedia Group (excluding trivago) figures exclude both trivago costs and expenses and trivago revenue when calculating ‘As a % of Revenue.’

Cost of Revenue

  • For the third quarter of 2022, total GAAP and adjusted cost of revenue increased 3% and 4%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2021, driven by higher merchant processing fees and cloud costs as a result of increased transaction volume which offset lower personnel costs related to the sale of Egencia in November 2021.

Selling and Marketing

  • For the third quarter of 2022, total GAAP and adjusted selling and marketing expense increased 27% and 28%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $372 million increase in direct costs driven by an increase in B2B partner commissions, as well as increased spend in Retail marketing channels. Total GAAP and adjusted indirect selling and marketing expenses, decreased 10% and 4%, respectively compared to the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in indirect marketing expense was driven by lower personnel costs related to the sale of Egencia in November 2021. The year-over-year decrease in GAAP indirect costs was driven by lower stock-based compensation.

Technology and Content

  • For the third quarter of 2022, total GAAP and adjusted technology and content expense increased 12% and 15%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to an increase in personnel costs from increased headcount.

General and Administrative

  • For the third quarter of 2022, total GAAP and adjusted general and administrative expense increased 2% and 4%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to an increase in personnel costs from increased headcount.

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 11-18 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures.

Note: Some numbers may not add due to rounding.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased 1% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Interest and Other

Consolidated interest income increased $18 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, as a result of higher rates of return. Consolidated interest expense decreased $23 million in the third quarter of 2022, as a result of lower interest expense related to the early redemption of senior notes in the first nine months of 2022.

Consolidated other, net was a loss of $87 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by mark-to-market losses on minority equity investments in American Express Global Business Travel (“GBT”) and Despegar compared to a gain of $25 million in the third quarter of 2021, in which we recognized a gain related to the sale of the Alice business.

Income Taxes

The GAAP effective tax rate was a 31% expense on a pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a 19% expense on pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2021. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due primarily due to nondeductible mark-to-market adjustments to our minority equity investments as well as other discrete items

The effective tax rate on pretax adjusted net income was 24% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 2% in the third quarter of 2021. The change in effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in pretax adjusted net income and discrete items.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Capitalization

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.0 billion. Consolidated free cash flow totaled negative $1.2 billion, compared to negative $1.4 billion in the prior year, primarily due to an improvement in adjusted EBITDA.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $4.6 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $4.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Restricted cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consist of traveler deposits for Vrbo bookings, was $1.8 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021. Prepaid expenses and other current assets was $799 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $827 million at December 31, 2021.

Deferred merchant bookings totaled approximately $7.5 billion at September 30, 2022, including approximately $915 million in deferred loyalty rewards compared to $5.7 billion at December 31, 2021, including approximately $800 million in deferred loyalty rewards.

As of September 30, 2022, Expedia Group had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 11 million shares of Expedia Group common stock, consisting of approximately 7 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) in addition to stock options to purchase approximately 4 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $135.22 and weighted average remaining life of 3.6 years.

On September 13, 2022, Expedia Group redeemed $500 million of outstanding aggregate principal of the Company’s 2.95% Notes due 2031. As a result of these redemptions, we recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $73 million in the quarter.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Expedia Group repurchased 1.5 million shares of Expedia Group common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $153 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $100.07 per share). As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately 21.8 million shares remaining under the 2018 and 2019 repurchase authorizations. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2022, Expedia Group repurchased an additional 0.5 million shares for a total cost of $47 million excluding transaction costs (an average of $95.65 per share).
