Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2025

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

These accompanying financial statements present Expedia Group, Inc.’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. We refer to Expedia Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Expedia Group,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Expedia Group, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities we control, or in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary of expected cash profits or losses. We record our investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, using the equity method or at fair value. We have eliminated significant intercompany transactions and accounts.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Accounting Estimates

We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income or loss during any period. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition; recoverability of current and long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; income and transactional taxes, such as potential settlements related to occupancy and excise taxes; loss contingencies; deferred loyalty rewards; stock-based compensation; accounting for derivative instruments and provisions for credit losses, and chargebacks.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Seasonality

We generally experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our travel services. For example, traditional leisure travel bookings are generally the highest in the first three quarters as travelers plan and book their spring, summer and winter holiday travel. The number of bookings typically decreases in the fourth quarter. Since revenue for most of our travel services, including merchant and agency hotel, is recognized as the travel takes place rather than when it is booked, revenue typically lags bookings by several weeks for our hotel business and can be several months or more for our alternative accommodations business. Historically, Vrbo has seen seasonally stronger bookings in the first quarter of the year, with the relevant stays occurring during the peak summer travel months. The seasonal revenue impact is exacerbated with respect to income by the nature of our variable cost of revenue and direct sales and marketing costs, which we typically realize in closer alignment to booking volumes, and the more stable nature of our fixed costs. As a result on a consolidated basis, revenue and income are typically the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Policies Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to improve its income tax disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, public business entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The new guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

after December 15, 2024. We will incorporate the new guidance in our tax disclosures in our consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The guidance requires tabular footnote disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, included within each interim and annual income statement’s expense caption, as applicable. The effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

Below are the significant accounting policies with interim disclosure requirements. For a comprehensive description of our accounting policies, refer to our 2024 Form 10-K.

Revenue

Prepaid Merchant Bookings. We classify payments made to suppliers in advance of Vrbo performance obligations as prepaid merchant bookings included within prepaid and other current assets. Prepaid merchant bookings was $457 million as of March 31, 2025 and $319 million as of December 31, 2024.

Deferred Merchant Bookings. We classify cash payments received in advance of our performance obligations as deferred merchant bookings. At December 31, 2024, $7.6 billion of advance cash payments was reported within deferred merchant bookings, $4.3 billion of which was recognized resulting in $574 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, the related balance was $11.9 billion.

At December 31, 2024, $937 million of deferred loyalty rewards related to internally administrated loyalty programs was reported within deferred merchant bookings, $190 million of which was recognized within revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, the related balance was $985 million.

Deferred Revenue. At December 31, 2024, $164 million was recorded as deferred revenue, $75 million of which was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, the related balance was $176 million.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions. We have used the portfolio approach to account for our loyalty points as the rewards programs share similar characteristics within each program in relation to the value provided to the traveler and their breakage patterns. Using this portfolio approach is not expected to differ materially from applying the guidance to individual contracts. However, we will continue to assess and refine, if necessary, how a portfolio within each rewards program is defined.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Cash, Restricted Cash, and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents include cash and liquid financial instruments, including money market funds and term deposit investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to certain traveler deposits and to a lesser extent collateral for office leases. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported in our consolidated balance sheets to the total amount presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,715	$	4,183
Restricted cash and cash equivalents	2,019		1,391

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	7,734	$	5,574

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are generally due within thirty days and are recorded net of an allowance for expected uncollectible amounts. We consider accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms as past due. The risk characteristics we generally review when analyzing our accounts receivable pools primarily include the type of receivable (for example, credit card vs hotel collect), collection terms and historical or expected credit loss patterns. For each pool, we make estimates of expected credit losses for our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history continually updated for new collections data, the credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision for estimated credit losses is recorded as cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded approximately $8 million of incremental allowance for expected uncollectible accounts, offset by $5 million of write-offs.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

Foreign currency forward contracts	$	2	$	—	$	2

We classify our cash equivalents and investments within Level 1 and Level 2 as we value our cash equivalents and investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Valuation of the foreign currency forward contracts is based on foreign currency exchange rates in active markets, a Level 2 input. Valuation of the cross-currency interest rate swaps is based on foreign currency exchange rates and the current interest rate curve, Level 2 inputs.

We hold term deposit investments with financial institutions. Term deposits with original maturities of less than three months are classified as cash equivalents. Those with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified within short-term investments and those with remaining maturities of greater than one year are classified within long-term investments and other assets.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of term deposits, certificates of deposits, and money market funds with maturities of three months or less and bank account balances.

We primarily invest in investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury securities, and asset-backed securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale. As of March 31, 2025, we had $411 million of short-term and $304 million of long-term available-for-sale investments, which generally mature within 4 years. As of December 31, 2024, we had $300 million in short-term and $202 million of long-term available-for-sale investments. The amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value with gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses of less than $1 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We review our debt securities on a regular basis for impairment. During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not recognize an allowance for credit-related losses on any of our investments.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain merchant revenue exposures, foreign denominated liabilities related to certain of our loyalty programs and our other foreign currency-denominated operating liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, we were party to outstanding forward contracts hedging our liability exposures with a total net notional value of $5.2 billion. We had a net forward asset of $27 million ($52 million gross forward asset) as of March 31, 2025 recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a net forward liability of $2 million ($42 million gross forward liability) as of December 31, 2024 recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We recorded $49 million and $(46) million in net gains (losses) from foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

We maintain two fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of €300 million and maturity dates of February 2026. The swaps were designated as net investment hedges of Euro assets with the objective to protect the U.S. dollar value of our net investments in the Euro foreign operations due to movements in foreign currency. The fair value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps was a $11 million asset as of March 31, 2025, recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $25 million asset as of December 31, 2024, recorded in long-term investments and other assets. The gain recognized in interest expense was $1 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Our equity investments include our marketable equity investments in Despegar.com, Corp. and Global Business Travel Group, Inc., both publicly traded companies, which are included in long-term investments and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net losses of approximately $156 million and $9 million within other, net in our consolidated statements of operations related to the fair value changes of these equity investments.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized or the underlying investment is sold. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs. We measure our minority investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes with changes recorded within other, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

Minority Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of our minority investments without readily determinable fair values totaled $293 million for both periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had no material gains or losses recognized related to these minority investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold a minority investment for $15 million and recognized an immaterial gain on the transaction. As of March 31, 2025, total cumulative adjustments made to the initial cost basis of these investments included $127 million in unrealized downward adjustments (including impairments).

Senior and Convertible Notes

Redemption of 6.25% Notes. In February 2025, we early redeemed all of our approximately $1 billion senior unsecured notes that bore interest at 6.25% and were due in May 2025 (the “6.25% Notes”), which resulted in the recognition of an immaterial loss on debt extinguishment from the write-off of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of 2025. The redemption price for the 6.25% Notes was 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the redemption date of $18 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

February 2025 Senior Notes Issuance. In February 2025, we issued $1 billion of registered senior unsecured notes bear interest at 5.4% and are due in February 2035 (the “5.4% Notes”). The 5.4% Notes were issued at a price of 99.316% of the aggregate principal amount. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, beginning August 15, 2025. At any time prior to November 15, 2034, we may redeem some or all of the 5.4% Notes by paying a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. On or after November 15, 2034, we may redeem some or all of the 5.4% Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 5.4% Notes were approximately $985 million after deducting the discount and debt issuance costs.

For additional information about our $1 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) and our other outstanding senior notes (collectively the “Senior Notes”), see Note 7 – Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

All of our outstanding Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations issued by Expedia Group and guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia Group subsidiaries. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and any future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Expedia Group and the guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Notes include covenants that limit our ability to (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions and (iii) merge or consolidate with or into another entity or transfer substantially all of our assets. The Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the holders thereof, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. Accrued interest related to the Senior Notes was $27 million and $73 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Estimated Fair Value. The total estimated fair value of our Senior Notes was approximately $5.1 billion as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Additionally, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was $987 million and $997 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value was determined based on quoted market prices in less active markets and is categorized accordingly as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2025, Expedia Group maintained a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility that matures in April 2027. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding. Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an index rate plus a margin (a) in the case of term benchmark loans, ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings, and (b) in the case of base rate loans, ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings. A fee is payable quarterly in respect of undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility at a rate ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings. The terms of the revolving credit facility require Expedia Group to not exceed a specified maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

The revolving credit facility has a $120 million letter of credit (“LOC”) sublimit, and the amount of LOCs issued under the facility reduced the credit amount available. Outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under the facility were $45 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity

In addition, in May 2025, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash

dividend of $0.40 per share of outstanding common stock payable on June 18, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 29, 2025. Future declarations of dividends are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors.

Treasury Stock

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s treasury stock was comprised of approximately 166.2 million shares of common stock and 7.3 million Class B shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s treasury stock was comprised of approximately 164.2 million shares of common stock and 7.3 million Class B shares.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Share Repurchase Programs. In 2023, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to a delegation of authority from the Board, authorized a program to repurchase up to $5 billion of our common stock (“2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased, through open market transactions, 1.7 million shares under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program for a total cost of $330 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, representing an average repurchase price of $189.29 per share. As of March 31, 2025, $2.9 billion remains authorized for repurchase under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. Our 2023 Share Repurchase Program does not have fixed expiration dates and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be subject to the discretion of the Company and depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of Expedia Group’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements and other business considerations. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased an additional 1.0 million shares for a total cost of $154 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax, representing an average purchase price of $154.90 per share.

Stock-based Awards

Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). As of March 31, 2025, we had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 11 million shares of our common stock, consisting of approximately 8 million RSUs and PSUs and options to purchase approximately 2 million shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $157.18 and a remaining life of 1.5 years.

Annual employee stock-based award grants typically occur during the first quarter of each year and, starting in the first quarter of 2025, generally vest over three years. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted approximately 2.6 million RSUs and PSUs.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The balance of AOCI as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. These translation adjustments include foreign currency transaction gains as of March 31, 2025 of $8 million ($11 million before tax) and $19 million ($25 million before tax) as of December 31, 2024 associated with our cross-currency interest rate swaps as described in Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements. Additionally, translation adjustments include foreign currency transaction losses of $7 million ($10 million before tax) as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 associated with previously settled Euro-denominated notes that were designated as net investment hedges.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares. The earnings per share amounts are the same for common stock and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards and common stock warrants as determined under the treasury stock method and of our Convertible Notes using the if-converted method. In periods when we recognize a net loss, we exclude the impact of outstanding stock awards and the potential share settlement impact related to our Convertible Notes from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 11 million of outstanding stock awards and approximately 4 million shares related to the potential share settlement impact related to our Convertible Notes have been excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 13 million of outstanding stock awards and approximately 4 million shares related to the potential share settlement impact related to our Convertible Notes were excluded.

Note 7 - Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In February 2024, we committed to restructuring actions to recalibrate resources as most of the Company’s organizational and technological transformation is now completed, which have resulted in headcount reductions. During the first quarter of 2025, we made the decision to expand these actions. As a result, we recognized $26 million and $48 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The charges were predominately related to employee severance and benefit costs and approximately $26 million was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. Based on current plans which are subject to change, we expect approximately $40 million in additional reorganization charges in the remainder of 2025, with the majority of the expense occurring in the second quarter. These costs could be higher or lower should we make additional decisions in future

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

periods that impact our reorganization efforts.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We record any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete items.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate was 9.2%, compared to 12.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to nondeductible mark-to-market charges.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax filings are regularly examined by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. For tax years 2011 to 2013 and 2014 to 2016, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued final adjustments related to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries. The 2011 to 2013 adjustments would result in federal income tax of approximately $244 million, subject to interest. The 2014 to 2016 adjustments would result in federal income tax of approximately $431 million, subject to interest. We do not agree with these adjustments and will continue to vigorously defend our position through administrative procedures. We are also under examination by the IRS for tax years 2017 to 2020.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Expedia Group. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including value-added tax, excise tax, sales tax, transient occupancy or accommodation tax and similar matters. We do not believe that the aggregate amount of liability that could be reasonably possible with respect to these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial results; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual losses incurred in the event that our legal proceedings were to result in unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Litigation Relating to Occupancy Taxes. We currently have two active lawsuits involving hotel occupancy taxes and we continue to defend against the claims made in them vigorously. With respect to the principal claims in these and previous similar matters, we believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue do not apply to us or the services we provide and, therefore, that we do not owe the taxes that are claimed to be owed. We believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue generally impose occupancy and other taxes on entities that own, operate or control hotels (or similar businesses) or furnish or provide hotel rooms or similar accommodations. We have established reserves for the potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy and other taxes, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of all current facts and circumstances, which were not material as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our settlement reserves are based on our best estimate of probable losses and the ultimate resolution of these contingencies may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. An estimate for a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amounts reserved cannot be made. Changes to the settlement reserves are included within legal reserves, occupancy tax and other in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pay-to-Play. Certain jurisdictions may assert that we are required to pay any assessed taxes prior to being allowed to contest or litigate the applicability of the ordinances. This prepayment of contested taxes is referred to as “pay-to-play.” Payment of these amounts is not an admission that we believe we are subject to such taxes and, even when such payments are made, we continue to defend our position vigorously. If we prevail in the litigation, for which a pay-to-play payment was made, the jurisdiction collecting the payment will be required to repay such amounts and also may be required to pay interest.

We are in various stages of inquiry or audit with various tax authorities, some of which may impose a pay-to-play requirement to challenge an adverse inquiry or audit result in court.

Matters Relating to International VAT. We are in various stages of inquiry or audit in multiple European Union jurisdictions regarding the application of VAT to our European Union related transactions. While we believe we comply with applicable VAT laws, rules and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions, the tax authorities may determine that we owe additional taxes.

During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into discussions with Italian tax authorities to resolve matters raised in an audit of the 2016 to 2022 tax years regarding the Company’s purported Italian VAT obligations. In 2024, we recorded a reserve for the potential settlement of these matters, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of facts and circumstances at that time, in the amount of $107 million. While we continue to believe Expedia Group is compliant with Italian tax laws, in November 2024, we reached an agreement with the Italian tax authorities and paid $71 million for tax years

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

2016 to 2022. We are in ongoing discussions with the Italian tax authorities to resolve VAT claims related to subsequent years. Our settlement reserve is based on our best estimate and the ultimate resolution of these contingencies may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded.

In certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and Italy, we may be required to “pay-to-play” any VAT assessment prior to contesting its validity. While we believe that we will be successful based on the merits of our positions with regard to audits in pay-to-play jurisdictions, it is nevertheless reasonably possible that we could be required to pay any assessed amounts in order to contest or litigate the applicability of any assessments and an estimate for a reasonably possible amount of any such payments cannot be made.

Note 10 – Segment Information

We have the following reportable segments: B2C, B2B, and trivago. Our B2C segment provides a full range of travel and advertising services to our worldwide customers through a variety of consumer brands including: Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz, Travelocity, Wotif Group, ebookers, CheapTickets, Hotwire.com and CarRentals.com. Our B2B segment fuels a wide range of travel and non-travel companies including airlines, offline travel agents, online retailers, corporate travel management and financial institutions, who leverage our leading travel technology and tap into our diverse supply to augment their offerings and market Expedia Group rates and availabilities to their travelers. Our trivago segment generates advertising revenue primarily from sending referrals to online travel companies and travel service providers from its hotel metasearch websites. trivago is a separately listed company on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and is therefore required to separately report its own financial results, which may differ from the segment information included herein.

Our chief operating decision makers ("CODMs") are our Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman. We determined our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision makers manage our business, make operating decisions and evaluate operating performance. Our primary operating metric is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for our B2C and B2B segments includes allocations of certain expenses, primarily related to our global travel supply organization and the majority of costs from our product and technology platform, as well as facility costs and the realized foreign currency gains or losses related to the forward contracts hedging a component of our net merchant lodging revenue. We base the allocations primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics. We do not allocate certain shared expenses such as accounting, human resources, certain information technology and legal to our reportable segments. We include these expenses in Corporate and Eliminations. Our allocation methodology is periodically evaluated and may change.

Our CODMs use Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODMs consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis using Adjusted EBITDA when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODMs also use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance for each segment and in the compensation of certain employees.

Our segment disclosure includes intersegment revenues, which primarily consist of advertising and media services provided by our trivago segment to our B2C segment. These intersegment transactions are recorded by each segment at amounts that approximate fair value as if the transactions were between third parties, and therefore, impact segment performance. However, the revenue and corresponding expense are eliminated in consolidation. The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within Corporate and Eliminations in the table below.

Corporate and Eliminations also includes unallocated corporate functions and expenses. In addition, we record amortization of intangible assets and any related impairment, as well as stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and related reorganization charges, legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, and other items excluded from segment operating performance in Corporate and Eliminations. Such amounts are detailed in our segment reconciliation below.

The following tables present our segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As a significant portion of our property and equipment is not allocated to our operating segments and depreciation is not included in our segment measure, we do not report the assets by segment as it would not be meaningful. We do not regularly provide such information to our chief operating decision makers.

Global macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, including trade disruptions, currency fluctuations and energy price volatility, have contributed to an increasingly complex business environment and uncertainty for the travel industry. During the first quarter of 2025, we experienced weaker than expected travel demand in the U.S. If these pressures are intensified or sustained, travel behaviors may be further impacted and any associated decrease in overall demand would negatively impact our business. In addition, our suppliers, business and service partners could also be impacted, thereby increasing our risk of credit losses and service level or other disruptions. Our future operational results may be subject to volatility, particularly in the short-term, due to the impact of the aforementioned trends.

In addition, domestic and international taxing authorities have in recent years become increasingly focused on ways to increase tax revenue, including the enactment of new taxes such as digital services taxes, and have become more aggressive in their interpretation and enforcement of existing tax laws, rules and regulations. We are in various stages of inquiry or audit with various tax authorities, some of which may require that we prepay any assessed taxes prior to contesting the validity of the assessment (“pay-to-play”) which will be repaid if we prevail in our challenge. However, any significant pay-to-play payment or litigation loss could negatively impact our liquidity.

Other events that could have a negative impact on the travel industry and our businesses in the future are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors – “Declines or disruptions in the travel industry could adversely affect our business and financial performance.”

Online Travel

The market opportunity for online travel is broad and highly competitive. Online penetration of travel expenditures is higher in the U.S. and Western European markets with online penetration rates in some emerging markets, such as Latin America and Eastern European regions, lagging behind those regions. Emerging markets continue to present an attractive growth opportunity for our business, while also attracting many competitors to online travel. Technological developments in generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools is increasingly being used to create competing offerings, such as AI powered digital planning and assistance, further increasing competition. In addition to the growth of online travel agencies, we have seen continued interest in the online travel industry from search engine companies such as Google, evidenced by continued product enhancements, and prioritizing its own AdWords and metasearch products such as Google Travel, Google Flights and Hotel Ads, in search results. Competitive entrants such as “metasearch” companies, including Kayak.com (owned by Booking Holdings), trivago (in which Expedia Group owns a majority interest) as well as TripAdvisor, introduced differentiated features, pricing and content compared with the legacy online travel agency companies, as well as various forms of direct or assisted booking tools. Further, airlines and lodging companies are aggressively pursuing direct online distribution of their products and services. In addition, the increasing popularity of the “sharing economy,” accelerated by online penetration, has had a direct impact on the travel and lodging industry. Businesses such as Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com have emerged as the leaders, bringing incremental alternative accommodation inventory to the market. Other competitors have arisen, including alternative accommodation property managers, who operate their own booking sites in addition to listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com. Additionally, traditional consumer ecommerce players have expanded their local offerings by adding hotel offers to their websites. Ride sharing app Uber has added transportation and experience offerings to its app via partnerships with other travel providers. Our B2B business has grown significantly but faces competition from other online travel agencies (“OTAs”) with B2B offerings, as well as other competitors, such as independent B2B businesses.

The online travel industry also saw the development of alternative business models and variations in the timing of payment by travelers and to suppliers, which in some cases place pressure on historical business models. In particular, the agency hotel model saw rapid adoption in Europe. Expedia Group facilitates both merchant (Expedia Collect) and agency (Hotel Collect) hotel offerings with our hotel supply partners through both agency-only contracts as well as our hybrid Expedia Traveler Preference (“ETP”) program, which offers travelers the choice of whether to pay Expedia Group at the time of booking or pay the hotel at the time of stay.

Lodging

Lodging includes both hotel and alternative accommodations. As a percentage of our total worldwide revenue in the first quarter of 2025, lodging accounted for 77%. Room nights booked grew 6% in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to growth of 9% in 2024 and 12% in 2023. Average Daily Rates (“ADRs”) booked for Expedia Group decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2025, decreased 1% in 2024 and decreased 2% in 2023.

As of March 31, 2025, our global lodging marketplace has over 3.5 million total lodging properties available. Our Vrbo brand has over 2.5 million online bookable alternative accommodations listings. Our other brands have approximately 1 million hotels and alternative accommodations.

Hotel. We generate the majority of our revenue through the facilitation of hotel reservations (stand-alone and package bookings). Our relationships and overall economics with hotel supply partners have been broadly stable in recent years. As we continue to expand the breadth and depth of our global hotel offering, in some cases we have reduced our economics in various geographies based on local market conditions. These impacts are due to specific initiatives intended to drive greater global size and scale through faster overall room night growth. Additionally, increased promotional activities such as growing loyalty programs, discounting, and couponing have contributed to declines in revenue per room night and profitability in certain cases.

Further, while the global lodging industry remains very fragmented, there has been consolidation in the hotel space among chains as well as ownership groups. In the meantime, certain hotel chains have been focusing on driving direct bookings on their own websites and mobile applications by advertising lower rates than those available on third-party websites as well as incentives such as loyalty programs, increased or exclusive product availability and complimentary benefits.

Alternative Accommodations. Over the past decade, we expanded into the alternative accommodations market. Vrbo is a leader, specializing in unique whole home inventory, primarily in North American leisure markets, and represents an attractive growth opportunity for Expedia Group.

Vrbo has transitioned from a listings-based classified advertising model to an online transactional model that optimizes for both travelers and homeowner and property manager partners, with a goal of increasing monetization and driving growth through investments in marketing as well as in product and technology. Vrbo primarily offers pay-per-booking service model and generates revenue from a traveler service fee for bookings, as well as insurance products.

Since our hotel and alternative accommodation supplier agreements are generally negotiated on a percentage basis, any increase or decrease in ADRs has an impact on the revenue we earn per room night. In the future, we could see macroeconomic

factors influence ADR trends, including rising living costs due to inflation and higher interest rates. Other factors that could lead to moderating ADRs include growth in hotel supply and the increase in alternative accommodation inventory.

Air

In early 2024, U.S. domestic air capacity exceeded demand, putting pressure on domestic airfares, but this rationalized by September 2024 with domestic fares inflecting back to growth. Our air bookings grew in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 but continued to lag the growth in our lodging business.

In the future, we could encounter pressure on air remuneration as air carriers combine, more air carriers shift to our “direct connect” technology, certain supply agreements renew, and as we continue to add airlines to ensure local coverage in new markets.

Booked air tickets increased 4% in the first quarter of 2025, 6% in 2024 and 4% in 2023. As a percentage of our total worldwide revenue in the first quarter of 2025, air accounted for 4%.

Advertising & Media

Our advertising and media - EG consists of Expedia Group (“EG”) Media Solutions, which is responsible for generating advertising revenue on our global online travel brands through a variety of digital marketing solutions. In the first quarter of 2025, we generated $174 million of advertising revenue from EG Media Solutions, a 20% increase from the same period in 2024.

We also generate advertising revenue from trivago, a leading hotel metasearch website. In 2023, trivago adapted its marketing strategy and launched a new logo and visual identity, part of a push to rejuvenate its brand, demonstrate the relevance of its offerings and drive long-term growth. During the fourth quarter of 2024, trivago returned to revenue growth. In the first quarter of 2025, the growth continued and we generated $85 million of third-party revenue from trivago, a 22% increase from the same period in 2024.

As a percentage of our total worldwide revenue in the first quarter of 2025, total advertising and media accounted for 9%.

Business Strategy

As we endeavor to power global travel for everyone, everywhere our focus is to leverage our brand, supply and platform technology strength to provide greater services and value to our travelers, suppliers and business partners, and build longer-lasting direct relationships with our customers.

We believe the strength of our core brand portfolio and consistent enhancements to product and service offerings, combined with our global scale and broad-based supply, drive increasing value to customers and customer demand. With our significant global audience of travelers, and our deep and broad selection of travel products, we are also able to provide value to supply partners seeking to grow their business through sophisticated technology, a better understanding of travel retailing and reaching consumers in markets beyond their reach. Our deep product and supply footprint allows us to tailor offerings to target different types of consumers and travel needs, employ geographic segmentation in markets around the world, and leverage brand differentiation, among other benefits. We also market to consumers through a variety of channels, including internet search, metasearch and social and digital media.

During 2020, Expedia Group unified its technology, product, data engineering, and data science teams to build services and capabilities that can be leveraged across our business units to provide value-add services to our travel suppliers and serve our end customers. The unified team structure enables us to deliver more scalable services and operate more efficiently. We have also completed the migration of our core B2C brands onto a unified Brand Expedia technology front-end infrastructure, having migrated Hotels.com onto the infrastructure in 2022 and Vrbo in 2023. Going forward, we expect to continue to cement our leadership in the B2B segment as our B2B business also benefits from all the work we have done in product and technology for our B2C brands.

As we continue to mature our shared platform infrastructure, our focus is on developing configurable technical capabilities that support various travel products while using simpler, standard architecture and common applications and frameworks. We believe this strategy will enable us to: simultaneously build pieces of technology that work in tandem; ship new capabilities and features faster; create a foundation for more innovative solutions; and achieve greater economies of scope and scale. Ultimately, we believe this will result in more product improvements faster and therefore better traveler experiences. In addition, over time, as we execute on our streamlined application development framework, we believe we can unlock additional platform service opportunities beyond the scope of our internal brands and business travel partners. All of our transaction-based businesses now benefit from our shared platform infrastructure, including customer servicing and support, data centers, search capabilities, payment processing, and fraud operations.

Table of Contents

We also launched One Key in the United States and United Kingdom, which serves as the unified loyalty program under Brand Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo, enabling travelers to cross-earn and cross-redeem rewards across these brands and our range of products such as air, hotels and alternative accommodations.

Seasonality

The growth in our B2B segment, international operations, advertising business or a change in our product mix, among others, may also influence the typical trend of seasonality in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe are important in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they require that we use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. We prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There are certain critical estimates that we believe require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•It requires us to make an assumption because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time we were making the estimate; and

•Changes in the estimate or different estimates that we could have selected may have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as well as updates in the current fiscal year provided in NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Segments

Operating Metrics

Our operating results are affected by certain metrics, such as gross bookings and revenue margin, which we believe are necessary for understanding and evaluating us. Gross bookings generally represent the total retail value of transactions booked for agency and merchant transactions, recorded at the time of booking reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are reduced for cancellations and refunds. Revenue margin is defined as revenue as a percentage of gross bookings.

____________________________

(1)trivago, which is comprised of a hotel metasearch business that differs from our transaction-based websites, does not have associated gross bookings or revenue margin. However, third-party revenue from trivago is included in revenue used to calculate total revenue margin.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross bookings increased 4%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lodging gross bookings in our hotel business. Booked room nights for our lodging business increased 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 amid softened travel demand within and into the U.S.

Revenue margin decreased slightly in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to Easter timing shifting revenue to the second quarter of 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the charges primarily included our donation as part of a public-private partnership project to revitalize public parks along the Elliot Bay waterfront in Seattle.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In February 2024, we committed to restructuring actions to recalibrate resources as most of the Company’s organizational and technological transformation is now completed, which have resulted in headcount reductions. During the first quarter of 2025, we made the decision to expand these actions. As a result, we recognized $26 million and $48 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, which were predominately related to employee severance and benefits costs. Based on current plans which are subject to change, we expect approximately $40 million in additional reorganization charges in the remainder of 2025, with the majority of the expense occurring in the second quarter. These costs could be higher or lower should we make additional decisions in future periods that impact our reorganization efforts.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax filings are regularly examined by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. For tax years 2011 to 2013 and 2014 to 2016, the IRS issued final adjustments related to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries. The 2011 to 2013 adjustments would result in federal income tax of approximately $244 million, subject to interest. The 2014 to 2016 adjustments would result in federal income tax of approximately $431 million, subject to interest. We do not agree with these adjustments and will continue to vigorously defend our position through administrative procedures. We are also under examination by the IRS for tax years 2017 to 2020.

Definition and Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

We report Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is 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. This non-GAAP measure 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 has certain limitations in that it does 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 measure presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a description of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes 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 included above, in the Legal Proceedings section, as well as the notes to the financial statements. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia Group, 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, if any, and (iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree, if any; (6) certain other items, including restructuring; (7) items included in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other; (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 noncash 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.

majority-owned subsidiaries). Our revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $2.5 billion was essentially untapped at March 31, 2025.

5.4% Senior Notes Issuance. In February 2025, we issued $1 billion of registered senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.40% and are due in February 2035 (the “5.40% Notes”). The 5.40% Notes were issued at a price of 99.316% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, beginning August 15, 2025. We used or expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, but not limited to: (i) repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase of outstanding debt, (ii) dividends and stock repurchases, and (iii) funding for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Redemption of 6.25% Senior Notes. In February 2025, we early redeemed all of our approximately $1 billion senior unsecured notes that bore interest at 6.25% and were due in May 2025 (the “6.25% Notes”), which resulted in the recognition of an immaterial loss on debt extinguishment from the write-off of debt issuance costs.

Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. As of March 31, 2025, Moody’s rating was Baa2 with an outlook of “stable,” S&P’s rating was BBB with an outlook of “stable” and Fitch’s rating was BBB with an outlook of “stable.” Changes in our operating results, cash flows, financial position, capital structure, financial policy or capital allocations to share repurchase, dividends, investments and acquisitions could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. Should our credit ratings be adjusted downward, we may incur higher costs to borrow and/or limited access to capital markets and interest rates on our 4.625% senior notes as well as our 2.95% senior notes will increase, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions in our revolving credit facility and outstanding debt as detailed in Note 4 – Debt in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Under the merchant model, we receive cash from travelers at the time of booking and we record these amounts on our consolidated balance sheets as deferred merchant bookings. We pay our airline suppliers related to these merchant model bookings generally within a few weeks after completing the transaction. For most other merchant bookings, which is primarily our merchant lodging business, we generally pay after the travelers’ use and, in some cases, subsequent billing from the hotel suppliers. Therefore, generally we receive cash from the traveler prior to paying our supplier, and this operating cycle represents a working capital source of cash to us. Typically, the seasonal fluctuations in our merchant hotel bookings have affected the timing of our annual cash flows. Generally, during the first half of the year, hotel bookings have traditionally exceeded stays, resulting in much higher cash flow related to working capital. During the second half of the year, this pattern typically reverses and cash flows are typically negative.

Our cash flows are as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025		2024		$ Change
	(In millions)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,952	$	2,879	$	73
Investing activities	(384)		(240)		(144)
Financing activities	(469)		(631)		162
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents	61		(47)		108

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities remained consistent with net cash provided by operating activities in the prior year period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had net cash used in investing activities of $384 million compared to $240 million in the prior year period. The change was primarily due to higher net purchases of investments in the current period compared to the prior year period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities primarily included the February 2025 redemption of approximately $1 billion of our 6.25% senior notes, $384 million of cash paid to acquire shares, including the repurchased shares under the authorization discussed below and for treasury stock activity related to the vesting of equity instruments, and cash dividend payments of $51 million, partially offset by the February 2025 issuance of 5.4% senior notes with net proceeds of $985 million as well as $25 million of proceeds from the exercise of options and employee stock purchase plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities primarily included $643 million of cash

paid to acquire shares, including the repurchased shares under repurchase programs and for treasury stock activity related to the vesting of equity instruments, partially offset by $32 million of proceeds from the exercise of options and employee stock purchase plans.

In 2023, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to a delegation of authority from the Board, authorized an additional program to repurchase up to $5 billion of our common stock (“2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased, through open market transactions, 1.7 million shares under 2023 Share Repurchase Program for a total cost of approximately $330 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. As of March 31, 2025, $2.9 billion remain authorized for repurchase under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. Our 2023 Share Repurchase Programs does not have fixed expiration dates and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be subject to the discretion of the Company and depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of Expedia Group’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements and other business considerations.

In addition, in May 2025, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash

Foreign exchange rate changes resulted in an increase of our cash and restricted cash balances denominated in foreign currency during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $61 million reflecting a net appreciation in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar compared to $47 million decrease in the prior year period reflecting a net depreciation in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Other than discussed above, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments since December 31, 2024.

In our opinion, our liquidity position provides sufficient capital resources to meet our foreseeable cash needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings, including refinancings, if any, will be available on terms acceptable to us.
