NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We refer to Tripadvisor, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries as “Tripadvisor,” “Tripadvisor Group,” “the Company,” “us,” “we,” and “our” in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Description of Business

Tripadvisor Group's mission is to connect people to experiences worth sharing with a vision to be the world’s most trusted source for travel and experiences. We leverage our brands, technology platforms, and capabilities to connect our large, global audience with partners by offering rich content, travel guidance products and services, and two-sided marketplaces for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and other travel categories. The Company operates across three business segments: Brand Tripadvisor, Viator, and TheFork.

Brand Tripadvisor empowers everyone to be a better traveler through its online global platform where hundreds of millions of visitors regularly visit and engage to discover, generate, and share authentic user-generated content (“UGC”) in the form of reviews and opinions for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and cruises in over 40 countries across the world. As of December 31, 2024, Tripadvisor offered more than 1 billion user-generated reviews and opinions on over 9 million experiences, accommodations, restaurants, airlines, and cruises.

Viator enables travelers to discover and book iconic, unique and memorable experiences from experience operators around the globe. Our online marketplace is comprehensive, connecting travelers to bookable tours, activities and attractions—consisting of nearly 400,000 experiences from more than 65,000 operators as of December 31, 2024.

TheFork delivers happiness through amazing dining experiences as the leading online restaurant booking platform in Europe. At the forefront of championing restaurant culture, TheFork harnesses technology to promote real life connections between diners and restaurateurs. TheFork provides an online marketplace that enables diners to discover and book online reservations at approximately 55,000 restaurants in 11 countries, as of December 31, 2024, across the U.K., western and central Europe.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Tripadvisor, 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. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. One of our subsidiaries that operates in China has variable interests in affiliated entities in China in order to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, which restrict foreign investment in internet content provision businesses. Although we do not own the capital stock of these Chinese affiliates, we consolidate their results as we are the primary beneficiary of the cash losses or profits of these variable interest affiliates and have the power to direct the activity of these affiliates. Our variable interest entities’ financial results were not material for all periods presented. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method, the fair value option, as available-for-sale securities or at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, as appropriate.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, we condensed or omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current period presentation, none of which were material to the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as discussed below in “Revised Operating Expense Presentation.” Our interim unaudited condensed 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 condensed 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, previously filed with the SEC (the “2024 Annual Report”). The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.

Revised Operating Expense Presentation

As previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company revised its operating expense captions on its consolidated statement of operations to better align the Company’s financial presentation with how management assesses performance and makes strategic decisions in its business operations, and to provide additional clarity and understanding of our operating expenses for investors. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The revised presentation did not result in any changes to previously reported revenues, total costs and expenses, operating income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, or net income (loss).

The following table below shows the reclassification adjustments made amongst costs and expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented below.

LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement

As of March 31, 2025, Liberty Tripadvisor Holdings, Inc. (“LTRIP”) was a controlling stockholder of Tripadvisor and related party. As of March 31, 2025, LTRIP beneficially owned approximately 14.0 million shares of our common stock and 12.8 million shares of our Class B common stock, which constituted approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of common stock and 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock. Assuming the conversion of all LTRIP’s shares of Class B common stock into common stock, LTRIP would beneficially own approximately 19% of the outstanding common stock as of such date. Because each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share, LTRIP would have beneficially owned equity securities representing approximately 55% of our voting power as of March 31, 2025. We had no related party transactions with LTRIP during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, except as discussed below.

On December 18, 2024, the Company, LTRIP and Telluride Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into LTRIP (the “Merger”), with LTRIP surviving the Merger as the surviving corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) immediately following the Merger, LTRIP (as the surviving corporation in the Merger) will be merged with and into TellurideSub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ParentSub LLC”) (such merger, the “ParentSub LLC Merger”), with ParentSub LLC surviving the ParentSub LLC Merger as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On April 29, 2025, the Merger was consummated, and per the Merger Agreement, (i) the shares of LTRIP Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into the right to receive $0.2567 per share in cash, totaling approximately $20 million in the aggregate; and (ii) all of the shares of LTRIP's 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, approximately $42.5 million in cash, without interest, and 3,037,959 validly

issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock, with an estimated fair value of approximately $39 million, as calculated using the Company's closing stock price on April 28, 2025; and (iii) LTRIP's 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (the “Exchangeable Debentures”) of $326 million were repaid during March 2025 by LTRIP with the use of loan proceeds from the Company, as discussed below, while the remaining $4 million will be repaid by the Company approximately 30 days after the consummation of the Merger. The aggregate transaction price of the Merger was approximately $430 million.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a loan facility (the “Loan Agreement”) to LTRIP to enable LTRIP to repurchase or settle the Exchangeable Debentures prior to the closing of the Merger. On March 20, 2025, the Company, as Lender, LTRIP, as Borrower, and LTRIP’s wholly owned subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company extended credit in the form of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $327 million subject to the terms and conditions therein. The Loan Agreement provided that LTRIP was required to use the proceeds from loans under the Loan Agreement solely to repurchase or settle its exchange obligations with respect to the Exchangeable Debentures in accordance with the terms of the Exchangeable Debentures Indenture and the Merger Agreement and pay related fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Loan Agreement subsequently expired in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement upon consummation of the Merger, or April 29, 2025, and the loan balance of $327 million is no longer payable to the Company and was assumed in the aggregate transaction price of the Merger, as discussed below.

At March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Loan Agreement of $327 million has been recorded to “stockholder note receivable - related party” as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount will be reclassified to treasury stock upon consummation of the Merger (see Merger accounting discussion below).

Assets held by LTRIP substantially consist of shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, following the consummation of the Merger, the Company accounts for the Merger as a repurchase of the Company's common stock previously held by LTRIP. As such: (i) the aggregate transaction price will be recorded as an increase to treasury stock within stockholders’ equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and (ii) the cash portion of the aggregate transaction price will be reflected as a financing cash outflow within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The amount anticipated to be allocated to treasury stock on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet will include the aggregate transaction price of approximately $430 million, plus all direct expenses and fees associated with the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, which are estimated to be approximately $20 million.

Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, on April 29, 2025, the Board of Directors retired the shares of Tripadvisor common stock and Class B common stock previously held by LTRIP, thereby canceling approximately 26.8 million shares of the Company, which reduced the Company’s outstanding shares by the same number.

As a result of the Merger, the Company is no longer a controlled company under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”) and no longer subject to the Governance Agreement by and among the Company, Liberty Interactive Corporation and Barry Diller, dated as of December 20, 2011 (as amended by the Assignment and Assumption of Governance Agreement, dated August 12, 2014).

Risks and Uncertainties

The U.S. and other countries have seen increased economic uncertainty (including with respect to tariffs, the threat of tariffs and changes in trade policies), market volatility, elevated levels of inflation and fluctuating discretionary spending patterns by consumers, all of which may impact our business. If macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, consumer demand and spending may decline, we may not be able to pass on increased costs to our customers and any inability to navigate the macroeconomic environment could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, natural disasters, public health-related events, political instability, geopolitical conflicts, including the evolving events in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia, acts of terrorism, fluctuations in currency values, and changes in global economic conditions are examples of other events that could have a negative impact on the travel industry, and as a result, our financial results.

Accounting Estimates

We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is accounting for income taxes. Refer to “Note 7: Income Taxes” for information regarding our significant income tax estimates.

Seasonality

Consumer travel expenditures have historically followed a seasonal pattern. Correspondingly, travel partner advertising investments, and therefore our revenue and operating profits, have also historically followed a seasonal pattern. Our financial performance tends to be highest in the second and third quarters of a given year, which includes the seasonal peak in consumer demand, including traveler accommodation stays, and travel experiences taken, compared to the first and fourth quarters, which represent seasonal low points. In addition, during the first half of the year, experience bookings typically exceed the amount of completed experiences, resulting in higher cash flow related to working capital; while during the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter, this pattern reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal fluctuations, such as significant shifts in our business mix, adverse economic conditions, public health-related events, as well as other factors.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our accounting policies since December 31, 2024, as described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies”, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance requiring entities to provide additional information in the income tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The new accounting guidance requires entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. This guidance is effective for the 2025 annual period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting 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. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.

We are currently considering our timing of adoption and are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting these newly issued accounting rules on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION

There have been no material changes to our principal revenue streams, revenue recognition policies, performance obligations, description of and timing of services, or customer payment terms since December 31, 2024, as described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies”, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report. There was no significant revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. We have applied a practical expedient and do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations that have an original expected duration of less than one year. The Company expects to complete its performance obligations within one year from the initial transaction date. The value related to our remaining or partially satisfied performance obligations relates to subscription services that are satisfied over time or services that are recognized at a point in time, but not yet achieved.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major products/revenue sources. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective under GAAP, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in “Note 12: Segment Information”, our business consists of three reportable segments – (1) Brand Tripadvisor; (2) Viator; and (3) TheFork. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue to segment revenue is included below:

Our revenue is recognized primarily at a point in time for all reportable segments.

(2)

Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue within the Brand Tripadvisor segment is shown gross of intersegment (intercompany) revenue, which is eliminated on a consolidated basis. See “Note 12: Segment Information” for a discussion of intersegment revenue for all periods presented.

Deferred Revenue

Contract liabilities generally include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized as revenue as the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied, which we present as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet, including amounts that are refundable. As of January 1, 2025 and 2024, we had $47 million and $49 million, respectively, recorded as deferred revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which $29 million and $28 million, respectively, was recognized in revenue and $3 million and $2 million, respectively, was refunded due to cancellations by travelers, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our deferred revenue primarily results from the timing differences between when we receive customer payments and the time in which we satisfy our performance obligations.

NOTE 4: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations are based on observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations are based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, which consisted of available on demand bank deposits and money market funds, with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase, in each case, with major global financial institutions. We had no outstanding investments classified as either short-term or long-term marketable securities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, and there were no purchases or sales of any marketable securities during and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy, as well as their classification on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	March 31, 2025						December 31, 2024
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value (1)		Cash and Cash Equivalents		Amortized Cost		Fair Value (1)		Cash and Cash Equivalents
	(in millions)
Cash	$	836	$	836	$	836	$	742	$	742	$	742
Level 1:
Money market funds		318		318		318		322		322		322
Total	$	1,154	$	1,154	$	1,154	$	1,064	$	1,064	$	1,064

(1)

We did not have any unrealized gains and losses related to our cash equivalents.

We generally classify cash equivalents and marketable securities, if any, within Level 1 and Level 2 as we value these financial instruments using quoted market prices (Level 1) or alternative pricing sources (Level 2). The valuation technique we use to measure the fair value of money market funds is derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values for Level 2 investments are considered “Level 2” valuations because they are obtained from independent pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. Our procedures include controls to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded, including comparing the fair values obtained from our independent pricing services against fair values obtained from another independent source.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We generally use forward contracts to reduce the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our cash flows for the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our forward contracts were not designated as hedges and generally had maturities of less than 90 days. Our outstanding or unsettled forward contracts are carried at fair value on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We measure the fair value of our outstanding or unsettled derivatives using Level 2 fair value inputs, as we use a pricing model that takes into account the contract terms as well as current foreign currency exchange rates in active markets. We recognize any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts in other income (expense), net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, which was not material during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We recorded a net loss of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to our forward contracts, however this amount was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The following table shows the notional principal amounts of our outstanding derivative instruments for the periods presented:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(in millions)
Foreign currency exchange-forward contracts (1)(2)	$	31	$	11

(1)

Derivative contracts address foreign currency exchange fluctuations for the Euro versus the U.S. dollar. These outstanding derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and have an original maturity period of 90 days or less.

(2)

The fair value of our outstanding derivatives as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, was not material. The notional amount of a forward contract is the contracted amount of foreign currency to be exchanged and is not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Counterparties to our outstanding forward contracts consist of major global financial institutions. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and, by policy limits, the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We did not enter into any cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and deferred merchant payables, were carried at cost on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items. Accounts receivable, including contract assets as described below, as well as certain other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost and are carried at cost less an allowance for expected credit losses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to present the net amount expected to be collected.

Accounts Receivable, net

The following table provides information about the opening and closing balances of accounts receivable, including contract assets, net of allowance for expected credit losses, from contracts with customers as of the dates presented:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
	(in millions)
Accounts receivable		229		187
Contract assets		34		20
Total	$	263	$	207

Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional, and are recorded net of an allowance for expected credit losses. We record accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. Our customer invoices are generally due from customers 30 days from the time of invoicing. Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for services that we have transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time, such as commission payments that are contingent upon the completion of the service by the principal in the transaction. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our contract assets primarily results from the timing difference between when we satisfy our performance obligations and the time when the principal completes the service in the transaction. There were no significant changes in contract assets during the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 related to business combinations, impairments, cumulative catch-ups or other material adjustments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The following table shows the aggregate principal and fair value amount of the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility as of the dates presented, primarily classified as long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements. Refer to “Note 6: Debt” for additional information related to our 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility.


	March 31, 2025									December 31, 2024
	Principal		Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs			Carrying Value		Fair Value (1)		Principal		Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs			Carrying Value		Fair Value (1)
	(in millions)
2026 Senior Notes	$	345	$	(1	)	$	344	$	331	$	345	$	(2	)	$	343	$	323
Term Loan B Facility (2)	$	847	$	(15	)	$	832	$	836	$	499	$	(6	)	$	493	$	504

(1)

We estimate the fair value of the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility based on recently reported market transactions and/or prices for identical or similar financial instruments obtained from a third-party pricing source.

(2)

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million. Refer to “Note 6: Debt” for further information.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Risks and Concentrations

Our business is subject to certain financial risks and concentrations, including concentration related to dependence on our relationships with our customers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Booking Holdings Inc. (and its subsidiaries) accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue, and together with Expedia Group, Inc. (and its subsidiaries), our two most significant travel partners, accounted for approximately 22% of our consolidated revenue, with nearly all of this revenue concentrated in our Brand Tripadvisor segment. Additionally, our business is dependent on relationships with third-party service providers that we rely on to fulfill service obligations to our customers where the Company is the merchant of record, such as our experience operators. However, for the year ended December 31, 2024, no one operator’s inventory resulted in more than 10% of our annual revenue on a consolidated basis or at a reportable segment level.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, generally consist, at any point in time, of cash and cash equivalents, corporate debt securities, forward contracts, capped calls, and accounts receivable. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions that are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits in the U.S. and similar government programs outside the U.S. Our cash and cash equivalents are generally composed of available on demand bank deposits or term deposits with several major global financial institutions, as well as money market funds, primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and to a lesser extent Euros, British pounds, and Australian dollars. We may invest in highly-rated corporate debt securities, and our

investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, industry group and currency. Our credit risk related to corporate debt securities is also mitigated by the relatively short maturity period required by our investment policy. Forward contracts and capped calls are transacted with major international financial institutions with high credit standings. Forward contracts, which, to date, have typically had maturities of less than 90 days, also mitigate risk. Our overall credit risk related to accounts receivable is mitigated by the relatively short collection period.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Non-Marketable Investments

Equity Securities Accounted for under the Equity Method

The Company owns a 40% equity investment in Chelsea Investment Holding Company PTE Ltd, which is majority owned by Ctrip Investment Holding Ltd, a majority-owned subsidiary of Trip.com Group Limited. The Company accounts for this minority investment under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. The carrying value of this minority investment was $28 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and is included in non-marketable investments on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our share of the investee’s net loss in other income (expenses), net within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations was not material. The Company evaluates this investment for impairment when factors indicate that a decline in the value of its investment has occurred and the carrying amount of its investment may not be recoverable. An impairment loss, based on the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment based on Level 3 inputs, is recognized in earnings when an impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not record any impairment loss on this equity investment.

The Company maintains various commercial agreements with Chelsea Investment Holding Company PTE Ltd. and/or its subsidiaries. Transactions under these agreements are considered related-party transactions, and were not material during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Other Long-Term Assets

The Company holds collateralized notes (the “Notes Receivable”) issued by a privately held company with a total principal amount of $20 million, classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company has concluded it has the positive intent and ability to hold the Notes Receivable until maturity, with 50% due June 2028 and the remaining 50% due June 2030, or the date on which there is a change in control, whichever is earlier. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Notes Receivable was $9 million, net of accumulated allowance for credit losses, and is classified in other long-term assets, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. On a quarterly basis, we perform a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the Notes Receivable are impaired and monitor for changes to our allowance for credit losses.

Other non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized or the underlying investment is sold. Such fair value measurements, if necessary, are based predominately on Level 3 inputs.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company approved and subsequently initiated a set of actions in order to reduce its cost structure, improve operational efficiencies, and realign its workforce with its strategic initiatives. As a result of actions taken under this initiative during first quarter of 2025, the Company incurred estimated pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of $10 million, which consisted of employee severance and related benefits, primarily in our Brand Tripadvisor segment. We expect the majority of remaining unpaid costs as of March 31, 2025 to be disbursed during 2025.

The following table summarizes our restructuring and other related reorganization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


	Carrying Value

Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement with a group of lenders initially entered into in June 2015 and, amended and restated in June 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for a $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of June 29, 2028 (unless, on any date that is 91 days prior to the final scheduled maturity date in respect of any indebtedness outstanding under certain “specified debt,” the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such specified debt is $200 million or more, then the maturity date will be such business day). On July 8, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to its Credit Agreement, which implemented the Term Loan B Facility (discussed below), and, on March 20, 2025, entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which increased the existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million (the Credit Agreement, with the First Amendment and the Second Amendment is hereinafter referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement does not change the aggregate amount of revolving commitments available at $500 million related to our Credit Facility.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes certain customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant additional liens, and make investments, acquisitions, dispositions, distributions, and other payments, with certain exceptions as more specifically described in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and modifies the cross-default provision so that the Term Loan B Facility includes a customary cross-acceleration event of default with the Credit Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then, among other things, the lenders under the Credit Facility and/or the Term Loan B Facility, as applicable, may declare any outstanding Credit Facility and/or Term Loan B Facility obligations, as applicable, under the Amended Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise their rights and remedies against the collateral. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets, whether personal, tangible or intangible, of

the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties as granted under the Security Documents. Any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings from the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also includes $15 million of borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and $40 million for swing-line borrowings on same-day notice. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had issued $3 million of undrawn standby letters of credit under the Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense and commitment fees on our Credit Facility were not material. The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, requires us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 solely in respect to the Credit Facility and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

Term Loan B Facility

On July 8, 2024, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company issued a $500 million Term Loan B Facility maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.75%. On July 15, 2024, the Company used these borrowed funds to fully redeem its 2025 Senior Notes. On March 20, 2025, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million, maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on SOFR plus 2.75% (the “Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility”). The Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility was offered at 98.56% of par. The proceeds from the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility will be used to fund the repurchase, repayment or redemption of the Company's 2026 Senior Notes and for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred $9 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility. We refer to the original Term Loan B Facility, combined with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, as the “Term Loan B Facility.”

As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 7.07% and, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 the weighted-average interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 7.08%. The Term Loan B Facility is required to be paid down at 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount per year, repayable in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, equal to 0.25% of the principal amount with the balance due on the maturity date. Principal payments of $2 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Term Loan B Facility has no financial covenants.

As of March 31, 2025, and in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan B Facility and Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, we have $15 million of total unamortized debt issuance costs, comprised of the initial purchasers’ discount, lender fees, and other debt financing costs. These debt issuance costs will be amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan B Facility, using the effective interest rate method, and recorded to interest expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2025, unpaid interest on the Term Loan B Facility was not material and $10 million was recorded as interest expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

2025 Senior Notes

On July 15, 2024, the Company redeemed all $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2025 Senior Notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $9 million of interest expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

2026 Senior Notes

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our effective interest rate, including debt issuance costs, was 0.32% and 0.38%, respectively, and total interest expense incurred from the 2026 Senior Notes was not material in any period. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unpaid interest on the 2026 Senior Notes was also not material.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2026 Senior Notes and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions at a cost of approximately $35 million.

The Capped Calls are considered indexed to our own stock, considered equity classified under GAAP and were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet when the Capped Calls were purchased in March 2021. The Capped Calls are not accounted for as derivatives and their fair value is not remeasured each reporting period.

Refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report, for additional information pertaining to redemption, conversion, and repurchase features or terms regarding the Amended Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility, the Term Loan B Facility, 2025 Senior Notes, 2026 Senior Notes or Capped Calls.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES

Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period; accordingly, we measure our income tax expense using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An enterprise is required, at the end of each interim reporting period, to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

Our income tax benefit was $9 million and our income tax expense was $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in our income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily the result of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit settlement for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax years of $46 million, recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $11 million recorded during the first quarter of 2025 to release income tax reserves as a result of the U.S. federal statute of limitation of assessment closing on tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016.

A reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes to the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes is as follows for the periods presented:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(in millions)
Income tax expense (benefit) at the federal statutory rate	$	(4	)	$	(3	)
Unrecognized tax benefits and related interest		(11	)		1
Stock-based compensation		2			1
Change in valuation allowance		1			3
IRS audit settlement		—			46
Transfer pricing reserves adjustment		—			(4	)
Other, net		3			(1	)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	(9	)	$	43

Our accounting policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and income tax liabilities as part of our income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accrued interest liability of $19 million, which was included in unrecognized tax benefits in other long-term liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and no penalties were accrued.

We are currently under examination by the IRS for tax year 2018 and have various ongoing audits for foreign and state income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding, or review of, the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. These examinations may lead to proposed or ordinary course adjustments to our taxes. We are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2018. As of March 31, 2025, no material assessments have resulted, except as noted below regarding our 2014 through 2016 standalone IRS audit, and our 2012 through 2016 HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) audit.

As previously disclosed, we received Notices of Proposed Adjustments ("NOPA") from the IRS for the 2014 through 2016 tax years relating to certain transfer pricing arrangements with our foreign subsidiaries. In response, we requested competent authority assistance under the Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) for the 2014 through 2016 tax years. In January 2024, we received notification of a MAP resolution agreement for the 2014 through 2016 tax years, which we accepted in February 2024. As a result of the acceptance of this IRS audit settlement, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $46 million, inclusive of interest, on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the first quarter of 2024. In addition, the Company reviewed the impact of the acceptance of this IRS audit settlement to our existing transfer pricing income tax reserves for subsequent open tax years, which resulted in an income tax benefit, inclusive of estimated interest, of $4 million during the first quarter of 2024.

In January 2021, we received from HMRC an issue closure notice relating to adjustments for 2012 through 2016 tax years. These proposed adjustments are related to deductions for intercompany financing and would result in an increase to our worldwide income tax expense in an estimated range of $25 million to $35 million, exclusive of interest expense, at the close of the audit if HMRC prevails. We disagree with the proposed adjustments and we intend to defend our position through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies. We are also currently subject to audit by HMRC in tax years 2017 through 2022. If HMRC were

to seek adjustments of a similar nature through a closure notice for transactions in these years, we could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. Our policy is to review and update tax reserves as facts and circumstances change.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our commitments and contingencies since December 31, 2024, except as discussed below. Refer to “Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report.

In the ordinary course of business, we are party to legal, regulatory and administrative matters, including threats thereof, arising out of, or in connection with our operations. These matters may involve claims involving, but not limited to, intellectual property rights (including privacy rights and alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights), tax matters (including value-added, excise, transient occupancy and accommodation taxes), regulatory compliance (including competition, consumer protection matters and data privacy or cybersecurity matters), contractual claims (including related to our material agreements or other contracts), defamation and reputational claims, personal injury claims, labor and employment matters and commercial disputes. Periodically, we review the status of all significant outstanding matters to assess any potential financial exposure. We record the estimated loss in our consolidated statements of operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and is material. We provide disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both of these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the consolidated financial statements. We base accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not believe that the final disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, except for certain known income tax matters discussed in “Note 7: Income Taxes.” However, the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from our estimates. Finally, there may be claims or actions pending or threatened against us of which we are currently not aware and the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on us. All legal fees incurred by the Company related to any regulatory and legal matters are expensed in the period incurred.

We are under audit by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax matters. We have reserved for potential losses that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of audits could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the period for which that determination is made. Refer to “Note 7: Income Taxes” for further information on potential contingencies pertaining to current income tax audits.

As of March 31, 2025, we have an accrual of $10 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, as an estimated potential settlement of a regulatory related matter within our vacation rentals offering. This amount is included in general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This accrual is based on our best estimate of probable loss; the ultimate resolution of this contingency may be greater or less than the liability recorded.

NOTE 9: STOCK BASED AWARDS

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The following table presents the amount of stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the periods presented:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2025			2024
	(in millions)
Total stock-based compensation	$	28		$	28
Income tax benefit from stock-based compensation		(5	)		(5	)
Total stock-based compensation, net of tax effect	$	23		$	23

We capitalized $3 million and $2 million of stock-based compensation expense as website development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Stock-Based Award Activity and Valuation

2025 Stock Option Activity

A summary of our stock option activity, consisting of service-based non-qualified stock options, is presented below:


				Weighted		Weighted
				Average		Average
				Exercise		Remaining		Aggregate
	Options			Price Per		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Outstanding			Share		Life		Value
	(in thousands)					(in years)		(in millions)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2024		2,190		$	31.57
Canceled or expired		(70	)		56.22
Options outstanding at March 31, 2025		2,120		$	30.76		5.1	$	—
Exercisable as of March 31, 2025		1,735		$	32.99		4.6	$	—
Vested and expected to vest after March 31, 2025 (1)		2,120		$	30.76		5.1	$	—

(1)

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures as allowed under GAAP and therefore does not include a forfeiture rate in our vested and expected to vest calculation unless necessary for a performance condition award.

Our stock options generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant and typically vest equally over a four-year requisite service period. We amortize the grant-date fair value of our stock option grants as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term on a straight-line basis, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date at least equaling the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. The total fair value of stock options vested was $1 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the closing stock price of our common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. Our closing stock price as reported on Nasdaq as of March 31, 2025 was $14.17. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was not material for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

2025 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) Activity

A summary of our RSUs activity, consisting of service-based vesting terms, is presented below:


				Weighted
				Average
				Grant-		Aggregate
	RSUs			Date Fair		Intrinsic
	Outstanding			Value Per Share		Value
	(in thousands)					(in millions)
Unvested RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2024		11,605		$	23.47
Granted		6,284			14.95
Vested and released (1)		(1,937	)		26.20
Canceled		(669	)		23.20
Unvested RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2025 (2)		15,283		$	19.64	$	217

(1)

Inclusive of approximately 434,000 RSUs withheld due to net share settlement to satisfy required employee tax withholding requirements. Shares which could have been issued in connection with the vesting of RSUs but were instead withheld under net share settlement remain in the authorized but unissued pool under the Tripadvisor, Inc. 2023 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) and can be reissued by the Company under the 2023 Plan. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities due to net share settlements are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(2)

RSUs are measured at fair value based on the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant. We amortize the grant-date fair value of RSUs as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term, which is typically over a four-year requisite service period on a straight-line basis, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date at least equaling the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $51 million and $45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

A summary of our performance-based RSUs ("PSUs") and market-based RSUs (“MSUs”) activity is presented below:


	PSUs (1)							MSUs (2)
				Weighted							Weighted
				Average							Average
				Grant-		Aggregate					Grant-			Aggregate

Unvested and outstanding as of March 31, 2025		1,662		$	19.27	$	24		491		$	10.53		$	7

(1)

PSUs generally vest in two equal annual installments on December 31 in the first and second years following the grant date, based on the extent to which the Company achieves certain financial metrics relative to targets established by the Company’s Compensation and Section 16 Committees of its Board of Directors (jointly, the “Compensation Committee”). The estimated grant-date fair value of PSUs are measured based on the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant, calculated upon the establishment of performance targets, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Based upon actual attainment relative to the target financial metrics, employees have the ability to receive up to 200% of the target number originally granted, or to be issued none at all. Probable outcome for performance-based awards is updated based upon changes in actual and forecasted operating results or expected achievement of performance goals, as applicable, and the impact of modifications, if any.

(2)

MSUs shall vest three years from grant date, generally with 25% vesting if the weighted-average stock price over a 30-day trading period during the vesting period is equal to or greater than $35.00 but less than $45.00, 50% vesting if equal to or greater than $45.00 but less than $55.00, and 100% vesting if equal to or greater than $55.00, subject to continuous employment with, or performance of services for, the Company. A Monte-Carlo simulation model, which simulated the present value of the potential outcomes of future stock prices, was used to calculate the grant-date fair value of our MSU awards. The estimated grant-date fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and is not adjusted based on the actual number of awards that ultimately vest.

(3)

Inclusive of approximately 81,000 PSUs withheld due to net share settlement to satisfy required employee tax withholding requirements. Shares which could have been issued in connection with the vesting of PSUs but were instead withheld under net share settlement remain in the authorized but unissued pool under the 2023 Plan and can be reissued by the Company under the 2023 Plan. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities due to net share settlements are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Total current income tax benefits associated with the exercise or settlement of Tripadvisor stock-based awards held by our employees were $3 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards, substantially RSUs, was $305 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

NOTE 10: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On September 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250 million in shares of our common stock under a share repurchase program. Our Board of Directors authorized and directed management, working with the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors, to affect the share repurchase program in compliance with applicable legal requirements. Management, in consultation with the Executive Committee, will determine the price, timing, amount and method of such repurchases based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and at prices determined to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders. This share repurchase program, which has a term of two years, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $200 million remaining available to repurchase shares of its common stock under this share repurchase program.

NOTE 11: EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method and of the 2026 Senior Notes using the if-converted method, as share settlement is presumed, under

GAAP. In periods when we recognize a net loss, we exclude the impact of outstanding stock-based awards and the potential share settlement impact related to the 2026 Senior Notes from the Diluted EPS calculation as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. Accordingly, for periods in which we report a net loss, such as for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Diluted EPS is the same as Basic EPS, since dilutive common equivalent shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is antidilutive.

Additionally, in periods when the 2026 Senior Notes are dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net income (loss) (the “numerator”) to calculate Diluted EPS. The Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS, as they would be antidilutive. However, upon conversion of the 2026 Senior Notes, unless the market price of our common stock exceeds the cap price, an exercise of the Capped Calls would generally offset any dilution from the 2026 Senior Notes from the conversion price up to the cap price. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the market price of a share of our common stock did not exceed the $107.36 cap price.

Below is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating Diluted EPS for the periods presented:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(shares in thousands and dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	(11	)	$	(59	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares used to compute Basic EPS		140,970			138,438
Weighted average effect of dilutive securities:
Stock-based awards (Note 9)		—			—
2026 Senior Notes (Note 6)		—			—
Weighted average shares used to compute Diluted EPS		140,970			138,438
Basic EPS	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.43	)
Diluted EPS	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.43	)

Potential common shares, consisting of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and those issuable under the 2026 Senior Notes, totaling approximately 22.3 million shares and 22.7 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, potential common shares of PSUs and MSUs totaling approximately 2.0 million and 1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for which all targets required to trigger vesting had not been achieved, were also excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares used to compute Diluted EPS.

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. In addition, our non-vested RSUs are entitled to dividend equivalents, which are payable to the holder subject to, and only upon vesting of, the underlying awards and are therefore forfeitable. Given such dividend equivalents are forfeitable, we do not consider them to be participating securities and, consequently, they are not subject to the two‑class method of determining earnings per share.

NOTE 12: SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments: (1) Brand Tripadvisor; (2) Viator; and (3) TheFork. The nature of the services provided, revenue sources by product, and related revenue recognition policies are summarized by reportable segment in “Note 3: Revenue Recognition.”

Our operating segments are determined based on how our chief executive officer, who also serves as our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages our business, regularly accesses information, and evaluates performance for operating decision-making purposes, including allocation of operating and capital resources. Adjusted EBITDA is our reported measure of segment profit and a key measure used by our CODM and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of our business as a whole and our individual operating segments, and on which internal budgets and forecasts are based and approved. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus: (1) (provision) benefit for income taxes; (2) other income (expense), net; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (6) legal reserves, settlements and other (including indirect tax reserves related to audit settlements and the impact of one-time changes resulting from enacted indirect tax legislation); (7) restructuring and other related reorganization costs; (8) transaction related expenses; and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring.

Direct costs are included in the applicable operating segments, including certain personnel costs, which have been allocated to each segment. We base these allocations on time-spent analyses, headcount, and other allocation methods we believe are reasonable. We do not allocate certain shared expenses to our reportable segments, such as certain information system costs, technical infrastructure costs, and other costs supporting the Tripadvisor platform and operations, that we do not believe are a material driver of individual segment performance, which is consistent with the financial information used by our CODM. We include these expenses in our Brand Tripadvisor segment. Our allocation methodology is periodically evaluated and may change.

The following tables present our reportable segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and include a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss). We record depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible asset impairments, legal reserves, settlements and other, transaction related expenses, and other non-recurring expenses and income, net, which are excluded from segment operating performance, in “Corporate & Eliminations.” In addition, we do not report total assets, capital expenditures and related depreciation expense by segment as our CODM does not use this information to evaluate operating segment performance. Accordingly, we do not regularly provide such information by segment to our CODM. We have recast the prior period presented for segment revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA to ensure comparability with the current period presented. These changes did not result in a change to our previously reported segments revenue or adjusted EBITDA.

Our segment disclosure includes intersegment revenues, which consist of affiliate marketing fees for services provided by our Brand Tripadvisor segment to both our Viator and TheFork segments. These intersegment transactions are recorded by each segment at amounts that we believe approximate fair value as if the transactions were between third parties and, therefore, impact segment performance. However, the revenue and corresponding expenses are eliminated in consolidation. The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within the “Corporate & Eliminations” column in the tables below.

NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Consummation of LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement on April 29, 2025

Refer to “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement, for further information.

Retirement of Treasury Shares

On April 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the retirement and cancellation of all of the treasury stock held by the Company at March 31, 2025, or 26,260,252 shares. As of March 31, 2025, this treasury stock is presented as “treasury stock-common stock, at cost” on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet with a carrying value of $847 million. In addition, as noted in “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement, on April 29, 2025, the Board of Directors retired the shares of Tripadvisor common stock and Class B common stock previously held by LTRIP, thereby canceling approximately 26.8 million shares of the Company and reducing the Company’s outstanding shares by the same number. On our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, we plan to record a reduction to common stock, equal to the par value of the shares retired. The excess cost of the shares over par value will be recorded as a deduction to additional paid-in capital, to the extent there is additional paid-in capital in the same class of stock, and any remaining excess as a deduction to retained earnings. There will be no effect to the Company’s total stockholders’ equity balance on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the retirement of these treasury shares.

Redomestication to Nevada

Effective April 29, 2025, the Company effected the redomestication of the Company to the State of Nevada by conversion, which redomestication by conversion was approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2023. With respect to such redomestication, a Plan of Conversion was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and Articles of Conversion and Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. We expect that the redomestication will have no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

The Tripadvisor Group's mission is to connect people to experiences worth sharing with a vision to be the world’s most trusted source for travel and experiences. The Company operates across three business segments: Brand Tripadvisor, Viator, and TheFork. We leverage our brands, technology platforms, and capabilities to connect our large, global audience with partners by offering rich

content, travel guidance products and services, and two-sided marketplaces for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and other travel categories.

Brand Tripadvisor empowers everyone to be a better traveler through its online global platform where hundreds of millions of visitors regularly visit and engage to discover, generate, and share authentic UGC in the form of reviews and opinions for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and cruises in over 40 countries across the world. Tripadvisor offers more than 1 billion user-generated reviews and opinions on over 9 million experiences, accommodations, restaurants, airlines, and cruises.

Viator’s mission is to bring extraordinary, unexpected, and forever memorable experiences to more people, more often, wherever they are traveling. In doing so, Viator elevates tens of thousands of businesses, large and small. Viator delivers on its purpose by enabling travelers to discover and book iconic, unique and memorable experiences from experience operators around the globe. Our online marketplace is comprehensive and easy-to-use, connecting millions of travelers to the world’s largest supply of bookable tours, activities and attractions—nearly 400,000 experiences from more than 65,000 operators. Viator is a pure-play experiences online travel agency (“OTA”) singularly focused on the needs of both travelers and operators with the largest supply of bookable experiences available to travelers.

TheFork’s mission is to deliver happiness through amazing dining experiences as the leading online restaurant booking platform in Europe. At the forefront of championing restaurant culture, TheFork harnesses technology to promote real life connections between diners and restaurateurs. With a network of approximately 55,000 partner restaurants across 11 countries, nearly 40 million app downloads and more than 20 million reviews, TheFork is a go-to platform for all food lovers to enjoy unforgettable restaurant experiences. Through TheFork, users can easily find restaurants according to their preferences, check real-time availability, instantly book online 24/7, benefit from special offers and pay directly to the restaurants. For restaurateurs, TheFork's technology enables them to optimize reservation management and occupancy rates, increase bookings and visibility, limit the impacts of no-shows, manage payments and streamline operations, all while accessing a broad community of loyal diners.

Our Business Strategy

The Tripadvisor Group operates in a unique position in the travel and experiences ecosystem:

•

We operate in large, global, and growing addressable markets including travel, experiences, and digital advertising;

•

We have a large, global, and engaged audience making meaningful contributions that reinforces a relationship of trust and community; and

•

We possess a wealth of high-intent data that comes from serving our audience of travelers and experience seekers at different points along their journey - whether they are engaging on our platforms for inspiration on their next experience, planning a trip, or making a purchasing decision.

In the Brand Tripadvisor segment, we offer a compelling value proposition to both travelers and partners across a number of key offerings that include experiences, accommodations, dining, and media. This value proposition is delivered through a collection of durable assets that we believe are difficult to replicate: a trusted brand, authentic UGC, a large community of contributors, and a large global travel audience. Our strategy in this segment is to leverage these core assets as well as our technology capabilities to provide travelers with a compelling user experience to help make the best decisions in each phase of the travel journey, including pre-trip planning, in-destination, and post-trip sharing. We intend to drive new traveler acquisition and repeat audience engagement on our platform by offering meaningful travel guidance solutions and services that reduce friction in the traveler journey and create a deeper, more persistent relationship with travelers. Our long-term strategy for the Brand Tripadvisor segment builds on our heritage and the reasons hundreds of millions of travelers come to Tripadvisor each year. Fundamental to this strategy will be: (1) innovating and enhancing world-class travel guidance and planning products to help travelers make confident decisions; (2) prioritizing deeper engagement with travelers, increasing membership, and repeat customers by leveraging our rich data and technology assets to provide more relevant, curated, and contextual content to travelers; and (3) driving a step change in the value we can deliver to our partners by accelerating and diversifying the monetization of our valuable audience across hotels, media advertising, experiences, and restaurants. As we continue to focus on offering a more compelling product and experience that better meets travelers’ needs, we believe we will be able to drive deeper engagement through direct channel growth, including through our mobile app. As this direct engagement with users improves and scales, we will be able to collect valuable data and create more relevant opportunities to monetize, which we believe will result in higher average revenue per user over time.

In the Viator and TheFork segments, we provide two-sided marketplaces that connect travelers and diners to operators of bookable experiences and restaurants, respectively.

At Viator, we are reinforcing our leadership position in experiences by investing in the product, marketing, and bookable supply. Our investment in these areas is expected to drive growth on both sides of the marketplace. On the traveler side of the marketplace, we are investing in the product to provide travelers with a high-quality experience that incentivizes them to return to book with us increasingly through more economic channels. As travelers return to book on our platform more directly, especially through our mobile app, we expect unit economics to improve and profitability to increase over time. A key component of driving the traveler flywheel is offering breadth and depth of quality experiences and surfacing the most relevant experiences to travelers based on their needs and preferences. On the supply side of the marketplace, we are investing to increase the amount of high-quality, highly demanded, and unique bookable experiences on our platform. With operators, we continue to focus on improving our product and technology capabilities to improve our value proposition of providing high quality demand and tools to manage their business on our platform.

At TheFork, we are driving profitable revenue growth by delivering value to both diners and restaurants as the leader in the European dining market. On the diner side of the marketplace, our investment in marketing is driving growth in new and repeat diner bookings. On the restaurant side, our prior investment in technology has resulted in growth in adoption of our premium online reservation booking software subscription revenue.

Across both Viator and TheFork, our investments are intended to deliver a differentiated value proposition that we believe will drive sustainable market leadership as our partners, operators, and travelers find themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace environment. We are focused on continuing to grow both our supplier base and our user base by offering innovative products on our branded platforms, and through continued awareness of our brand through marketing efforts.

We are focused on executing initiatives across Tripadvisor Group through organic investment in data, products, marketing and technology to further enhance the value we deliver to travelers and partners across our brands, platforms, and segments. In addition, we may accelerate growth inorganically by opportunistically pursuing strategic acquisitions.

Trends

The online travel industry in which we operate is large, highly dynamic and competitive. We describe below current trends affecting our overall business and segments, including uncertainties that may impact our ability to execute on our objectives and strategies.

Political instability or policy changes; heightened geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including the evolving events in the Middle East and between Ukraine and Russia; acts of terrorism; changes in governmental or regulatory policies, including U.S. tax laws; announced or implemented changes in tariffs; fluctuations in interest rates, tax rates and foreign exchange rates and changes in global economic conditions; and public-health related events are examples of events that could have a negative impact on the travel industry and, as a result, our financial results.

We generate a significant amount of direct traffic from search engines, including Google, through search engine optimization (“SEO”) performance across all segments. We believe our SEO traffic acquisition performance has been negatively impacted, and may be impacted in the future, by search engines (primarily Google) changing their search result placement and underlying algorithms to increase the prominence of their own products in search results across our business.

The global experiences market is large, growing, highly fragmented, and underpenetrated, with the vast majority of bookings still occurring through traditional offline sources. We expect to benefit from ongoing market tailwinds as consumers increasingly book experiences online and consumer behavior continues to allocate discretionary spending more to travel and experiences and away from physical goods. Likewise, the global restaurants category is also benefiting from increased online adoption by both consumers and restaurant partners, particularly in Europe. Given the competitive positioning of our businesses relative to the attractive growth prospects in the experiences and restaurant categories, we expect to continue to invest in these categories across Tripadvisor Group and, in particular, within the Viator and TheFork segments, to continue growing revenue, operating scale, and market share for the long-term.

Recent Developments

Tripadvisor and Liberty TripAdvisor Merger and Loan Agreement

As previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report, on December 18, 2024, the Company and LTRIP entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby Tripadvisor would acquire LTRIP (the “Merger”). On April 29, 2025, the Merger was consummated. The aggregate transaction price of the Merger was approximately $430 million. Refer to “Note 1: Basis of

Presentation” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report in the section entitled “LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement” for further information.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to provide a loan facility (the “Loan Agreement”) to LTRIP to enable LTRIP to repurchase or settle LTRIP's 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures prior to the closing of the Merger. On March 20, 2025, the Company extended credit in the form of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $327 million to LTRIP, subject to the terms and conditions therein. At March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Loan Agreement of $327 million has been recorded to “stockholder note receivable - related party” as a reduction to stockholders’ equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Loan Agreement subsequently expired in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement upon the consummation of the Merger, or April 29, 2025, and the loan balance of $327 million is no longer payable to the Company and was assumed in the aggregate transaction price of the Merger.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Actions

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company approved and subsequently initiated a set of actions in order to reduce its cost structure, improve operational efficiencies, and realign its workforce with its strategic initiatives. As a result of actions taken under this initiative during first quarter of 2025, the Company incurred estimated pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of $10 million, which consisted of employee severance and related benefits, primarily in our Brand Tripadvisor segment. Refer to “Note 5: Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities” and “Note 12: Segment Information” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Term Loan B Facility

On March 20, 2025, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million, maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on SOFR plus 2.75% (the “Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility”). The Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility was offered at 98.56% of par. The proceeds from the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility will be used to fund the repurchase, repayment or redemption of the Company's outstanding 2026 Senior Notes and for general corporate purposes. Refer to “Note 6: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Employees

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 2,770 employees. Approximately 62%, 33%, and 5% of the Company’s current employees are based in Europe, the U.S., and the rest of world (“ROW”), respectively. Additionally, we use independent contractors to supplement our workforce. We believe we have good relationships with our employees and contractors, including relationships with employees represented by international works councils or other similar organizations.

Seasonality

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 management use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. We prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires management to 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. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, when applicable and other

assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from 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/or

•

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.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2024 Annual Report.

Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies or new accounting pronouncements that we are required to adopt that may have an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since December 31, 2024, as compared to those described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin by Segment” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA by segment divided by revenue by segment.

Brand Tripadvisor revenue decreased by approximately $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in hotel meta revenue and, to a lesser extent, decreases in Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue, media and advertising and other revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA in Brand Tripadvisor decreased by approximately $13 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, while adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 2.8 percentage points. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in revenue, as noted above, partially offset, primarily by a decrease in personnel costs due to a reduction in headcount related to cost reduction measures taken during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 was largely due to a decline in revenue.

The following is a detailed discussion of the revenue sources within our Brand Tripadvisor segment:

Refer to “Note 12: Segment Information” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of intersegment revenue for all periods presented.

Tripadvisor-branded Hotels Revenue

Tripadvisor-branded hotels revenue decreased approximately $11 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in our hotel meta revenue and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in hotel B2B revenue as the Company transitioned from a sales-led model to a self-service model during 2024. The decrease in hotel meta revenue was primarily driven by declines in the U.S., driven by continued headwinds impacting direct channel volumes, including SEO traffic, as well as product changes that negatively impacted overall click volumes, but contributed to providing more qualified referrals to our partners and increased pricing as measured in our cost-per-click rates, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.

Media and Advertising Revenue

Media and advertising revenue, which consists of revenue from display-based advertising (or “media advertising”) across our Tripadvisor Group platform and decreased approximately $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to declines in traditional display advertising that correlates more closely with traffic volume, as well as declines in the broader display advertising market, which is growing slower than other advertising formats, partially offset by growth in advertising through creative offerings and programmatic advertising.

Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining Revenue

Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue, which includes intercompany (intersegment) revenue consisting of affiliate marketing commissions earned primarily from experience bookings and, to a lesser extent, restaurant reservation bookings on Tripadvisor-branded websites and mobile apps, fulfilled by Viator and TheFork, respectively, are eliminated on a consolidated basis, in addition to revenue earned from Tripadvisor's restaurants service offerings. Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue decreased approximately $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, due to a

decrease in experiences revenue as well as a decline in dining revenue as we continue to move from a sales-led model to a self-service model.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes vacation rentals revenue, in addition to click-based advertising and display-based advertising revenue from cruise, flights, and rental cars offerings on Tripadvisor websites and mobile apps. Other revenue decreased approximately $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decline in vacation rentals revenue as this offering continues to be strategically de-emphasized and, to a lesser extent, a decline in cruise revenue.

Key Operating Metrics

We use the following operating metrics described below to assist us in measuring our operations performance, identifying trends, formulating projections and making strategic decisions for the Viator segment. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating these metrics, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way. Management believes it is useful to monitor these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric. We regularly review our processes and may adjust how we calculate these metrics to improve their accuracy. We make these key metrics available to investors because we believe they are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and because they may be used by investors to help analyze the health of our business. None of these metrics should be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Number of Experience Bookings

We define an experience booking as a single tour, activity, or attraction that can be purchased through Viator's platform for one or several travelers, prior to adjustments such as date changes, refunds, or cancellations. This metric is reported at the time the booking is made. As an example, a single experience booked in January for three travelers would be reported as one experience booking in the first quarter. We believe that the number of experience bookings, an operational measure, is a useful indicator of the scale of our marketplace. The number of experiences booked was 5.0 million during the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 15%, when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven through growth on Viator’s branded site and app as well as third-party points of sale.

Gross Booking Value (“GBV”)

GBV represents the total dollar value of experience bookings powered by the Viator platform in a given period prior to any adjustments such as date changes, refunds or cancellations. GBV is an operational measure that provides an indication of total

engagement and economic activity driven by our platform in a given period by all marketplace constituents (travelers, experience operators, and partners). Management uses GBV for operational decision-making purposes to monitor the growth, scale, and reach of its online marketplace as well as assess the health of its global ecosystem. Accordingly, management does not consider GBV to be an indicator of revenue or any other financial statement measure.

GBV reached $1.1 billion during the first quarter of 2025, an increase of approximately 10%, when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to growth in the number of experience bookings as discussed above, partially offset by a decline in pricing. The decline in pricing was primarily due to growth in third-party points of sale which generally merchandises lower priced products compared to the Viator and Tripadvisor points of sale and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Viator revenue increased approximately $15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by growth in booking volume, partially offset by a decline in pricing. The decline in pricing was primarily due to growth in third-party points of sale which generally merchandises lower priced products compared to the Viator and Tripadvisor point of sales and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, we estimate Viator's revenue growth rate was negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 2% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in Viator improved by approximately $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 8.2 percentage points. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to an increase in revenue as noted above, partially offset by an increase in variable costs related to revenue growth, such as credit card payment processing fees. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in marketing costs as a percent of revenue.

(3)

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin by Segment” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA by segment divided by revenue by segment.

TheFork revenue increased approximately $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement was driven primarily by booking volume growth largely in direct channels, as well as increased adoption of our premium reservation booking software offering. In addition, we estimate TheFork's revenue growth rate was negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 4% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in TheFork was flat during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in revenue as noted above and, to a lesser extent, lower personnel costs, offset by increased marketing costs and increased brand awareness investments. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 1.0 percentage point during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower personnel costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase in marketing costs and cost of sales as a percent of revenue.

Consolidated Expenses

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of expenses that are directly related or closely correlated to revenue generation, including direct costs, such as credit card and other booking transaction payment fees, media production costs, ad serving fees, and other revenue generating costs. In addition, cost of sales includes operating costs such as bad debt expense and non-income taxes, including sales, use, digital services, and other non-income related taxes.

Costs of sales	$	26.8		$	24.5			9	%
% of revenue		6.7	%		6.2	%

Cost of sales increased approximately $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in variable costs supporting revenue growth such as credit card payment processing fees and other transaction related costs in Viator and TheFork segments. These increased costs were partially offset by a decrease in direct revenue generation costs related to media production in Brand Tripadvisor.

Marketing

Marketing expenses consist of direct costs, including traffic generation costs from paid online traffic acquisition costs (including SEM and other online traffic acquisition costs), syndication costs and affiliate marketing commissions, social media costs, brand advertising (including connected television, traditional television and other offline advertising), promotions and public relations.

Marketing costs increased approximately $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in overall marketing costs in Viator and TheFork segments of $8 million, inclusive of intersegment (intercompany) marketing expenses, in order to drive revenue growth and market share.

Personnel

Personnel expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, bonuses, employee health and other benefits, and stock-based compensation. In addition, personnel expenses include costs associated with contingent staff, bonuses and commissions for sales, sales support, customer support and marketing employees.

% of revenue		36.1	%		37.8	%

Personnel costs decreased approximately $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a reduction in headcount related to cost-reduction measures initiated in Brand Tripadvisor and TheFork.

Technology

Technology expenses consist primarily of licensing, data center costs including cloud-based solutions, maintenance, computer supplies, telecom, and content translation and localization costs.

Technology costs increased approximately $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased licensing costs in Viator.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional service fees and other fees including audit, legal, tax and accounting, and other operating costs including real estate and office expenses, and non-compensation related personnel expenses such as travel, relocation, recruiting, and training expenses.

% of revenue		4.4	%		7.4	%

General and administrative costs decreased approximately $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an estimated accrual for the potential settlement of a regulatory related matter of $10 million during the first quarter of 2024 in Brand Tripadvisor.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on computer equipment, leasehold improvements, furniture, office equipment and other assets, and amortization of capitalized website development costs and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets related to our finance lease. Amortization consists of the amortization of definite-lived intangibles purchased in business acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization did not materially change during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the completion of amortization related to intangible assets purchased in business acquisitions from previous years, largely offset by increased depreciation related to previous capital expenditure investments.

Restructuring and other related reorganization costs

Interest expense	$	(11.7	)	$	(11.0	)

Interest expense increased approximately $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the issuance of our Term Loan B Facility in July 2024 and subsequent redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes, which incrementally increased our financing costs. Refer to “Note 6: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Interest Income

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned from available on demand bank deposits, term deposits, money market funds, and marketable securities, including amortization of discounts and premiums on our marketable securities.

	(in millions)
Interest income	$	10.0	$	12.6

Interest income decreased approximately $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in interest rates received on demand bank deposits and money market funds.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net generally consists of net foreign exchange gains and losses, forward contract gains and losses, earnings/(losses) from equity method investments, gain/(loss) and impairments on non-marketable investments, gain/(loss) on sale/disposal of businesses, and other assets, gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt, and other non-operating income (expenses).

Other income (expense), net	$	(3.1	)	$	(3.3	)

Other expense, net, largely consisting of foreign exchange losses, and did not materially change during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.

(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes



	Three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(in millions)
(Provision) benefit for income taxes	$	9.3		$	(42.9	)
Effective tax rate		(45.8	%)		261.6	%

Our first quarter of 2025 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily as a result of a discrete item recorded during the quarter, as described below.

We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in our income tax (provision) benefit and our effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily the result of an IRS audit settlement for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax years, resulting in the Company recording an income tax expense of $46 million during the first quarter of 2024, while a discrete tax benefit of $11 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2025 to release income tax reserves as a result of the U.S. federal statute of limitation of assessment closing on the tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016. Refer to “Note 7: Income Taxes” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Net income (loss)

	(in millions)
Net income (loss)	$	(11.0	)	$	(59.3	)
Net income (loss) margin		(2.8	%)		(15.0	%)

Net loss improved by approximately $48 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024. The improvement in net loss was largely driven by a decrease in income tax expense of $52 million, as described in more detail above under “(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes,” and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in general and administrative costs related to an estimated accrual for the potential settlement of a regulatory related matter of $10 million during the first quarter of 2024 in our Brand Tripadvisor segment. These improvements were partially offset, primarily by increased marketing costs to drive revenue growth and market share in our experiences and dining offerings, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of which is described in more detail above under “Consolidated Expenses.”

Adjusted EBITDA

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is also our reported measure of segment profit and a key measure used by our CODM, management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of our business as a whole and our individual operating segments, and on which internal budgets and forecasts are based and approved. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons and better enables management and investors to compare financial results between periods as these costs may vary independent of ongoing core business performance. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our CODM, management and Board of Directors. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus: (1) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (2) other expense (income), net; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (6) legal reserves, settlements and other (including indirect tax reserves related to audit settlements and the impact of one-time changes resulting from enacted indirect tax legislation); (7) restructuring and other related reorganization costs; (8) transaction related expenses; and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

Some of these limitations are:

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;

•

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain income and expenses not directly tied to the ongoing core operations of our business, such as legal reserves, settlements and other, restructuring and other related reorganization costs, and transaction related expenses;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•

Adjusted EBITDA is unaudited and does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X, and as a result such information may be presented differently in our future filings with the SEC; and

•

other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for the periods presented:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(in millions)

Represents an estimated accrual for the potential settlement of a regulatory related matter of $10 million expensed during the first quarter of 2024 to general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(2)

The Company expensed certain transaction costs of approximately $1 million during the first quarter of 2024 to general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Refer to “Note 9: Stock Based Awards” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information on current year equity award activity, including the issuance of approximately 6.3 million service-based RSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $14.95 and approximately 0.9 million PSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $14.92 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations and our existing cash and cash equivalents balance. Our liquidity needs can also be met through drawdowns under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, and $497 million of available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $197 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our international subsidiaries outside of the U.S., of which approximately 40% was located in the U.K. As of March 31, 2025, the significant majority of our cash was denominated in U.S. dollars.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $586 million of cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries that are no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested. As of March 31, 2025, we maintained a deferred income tax liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, which was not material, for the U.S. federal and state income tax and foreign withholding tax liabilities on the cumulative undistributed foreign earnings that we no longer consider indefinitely reinvested.

As of March 31, 2025, we are party to a credit agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 29, 2028 (unless, on any date that is 91 days prior to the final scheduled maturity date in respect of any indebtedness outstanding under certain “specified debt,” the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such specified debt is $200 million or more, then the maturity date will be such business day). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, except $3 million of undrawn standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The Company may borrow from the Credit Facility in U.S. dollars, Euros and Sterling. For information regarding interest rates on potential borrowings and commitment fees on the daily unused portion of capacity under the Credit Facility refer to “Note 6: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report. As of March 31, 2025, our unused revolver capacity was subject to a commitment fee of 0.25%, given the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Credit Facility, among other things, requires us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including for a change of control. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenant requirements in effect under the Credit Facility. While there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the total net leverage ratio covenant in the future, based on our current projections, we do not believe there is a material risk that we will not remain in compliance throughout the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $9 million and approximately $1.2 billion in short-term and long-term debt, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet pertaining to the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility, both of which are discussed below.

The outstanding $345 million, 2026 Senior Notes provide, among other things, that interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum, is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, until their maturity on April 1, 2026. The 2026 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, although unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis, by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

On July 8, 2024, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company issued a $500 million Term Loan B Facility maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.75%, payable monthly. On July 15, 2024, the Company used these funds to fully redeem its outstanding $500 million, 2025 Senior Notes. The Term Loan B Facility was offered at 99.75% of par. On March 20, 2025, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million, maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on SOFR plus 2.75% (the “Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility”). The proceeds from the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility will be used to fund the repurchase, repayment or redemption of the Company's outstanding 2026 Senior Notes and for general corporate purposes. The Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility was offered at 98.56% of par. We refer to the Term Loan B Facility, combined with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, as the “Term Loan B Facility.” The Term Loan B Facility is required to be paid down at 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount per year, repayable in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, equal to 0.25% of the principal amount with the balance due on the maturity date. Principal payments of $2 million were made under the Term Loan B Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The 2026 Senior Notes are not registered securities and there are currently no plans to register these notes as securities in the future. We may from time to time repurchase the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility through tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. For further information on the Amended Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility, the Term Loan B Facility, 2025 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes, refer to “Note 6: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Significant uses of capital and other liquidity matters

On September 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250 million in shares of our common stock under a share repurchase program. This share repurchase program, which has a term of two years, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, we had $200 million remaining available to repurchase shares of our common stock under this share repurchase program.

Our business typically experiences seasonal fluctuations that affect the timing of our annual cash flows during the year related to working capital. As a result of our experience bookings, we generally receive cash from travelers at the time of booking or prior to the occurrence of an experience, and we record these amounts, net of commissions, on our consolidated balance sheet as deferred merchant payables. We pay the experience operator, or the supplier, after the travelers’ use. Therefore, we generally receive cash from the traveler prior to paying the experience operator and this operating cycle represents a source or use of cash to us. During the first half of the year, experiences bookings typically exceed completed experiences, resulting in higher cash flow related to working capital, while during the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter, this pattern reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal fluctuations, such as significant shifts in our business mix, adverse economic conditions, public health-related events, as well as other factors that could result in future seasonal patterns that are different from historical trends. In addition, new or different payment options offered to our customers could impact the timing of cash flows, such as our “Reserve Now, Pay Later” payment option, which allows travelers the option to reserve certain experiences and defer payment until a date no later than two days before the experience date. Usage of this payment option may continue to increase, though it is still not used in a majority of bookings to date, and affect the timing of our future cash flows and working capital.

As described above, on March 20, 2025, the Company, LTRIP, and LTRIP’s wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company extended credit in the form of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $327 million subject to the terms and conditions therein. Refer to “Note 1: Basis of Presentation” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report in the section entitled “LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement” for further information.

As described above, on April 29, 2025, the Merger with LTRIP was consummated. In connection with such Merger, the balance of $327 million under the Loan Agreement is no longer payable to the Company and was assumed in the aggregate transaction price of the Merger. In addition, on April 29, 2025, the Company made, or will make, additional cash payments, totaling approximately $85 million, which primarily include: (i) $20 million to acquire the shares of LTRIP Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger; (ii) $42.5 million in cash used to settle shares of LTRIP's 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger; (iii) $4 million to repurchase or settle the remaining Exchangeable Debentures; and (iv) all direct expenses and fees associated with the transaction incurred by the Company, estimated at $20 million. Refer to “Note 1: Basis of Presentation” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report in the section entitled “LTRIP and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement” for further information.

In addition, in January 2021, we received an issue closure notice from HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) in the U.K. relating to adjustments for the 2012 through 2016 tax years. These proposed adjustments are related to deductions for intercompany financing and would result in an increase to income tax expense in an estimated range of $25 million to $35 million, exclusive of interest expense, at the close of the audit if HMRC prevails. We are also currently subject to audit by HMRC in tax years 2017 through 2022. If HMRC were to seek adjustments of a similar nature through a closure notice for transactions in these years, we could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. Although the ultimate timing for resolution of this matter is uncertain, any future payments required would negatively impact our operating cash flows.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our foreseeable working capital requirements, capital expenditures, existing business growth initiatives, debt and interest obligations, lease commitments, and other financial commitments through at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements may also include capital needs for acquisitions and/or other expenditures in support of our business strategy, which may potentially reduce our cash balance and/or require us to borrow under the Credit Facility or to seek other financing alternatives.

Our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	101.7		$	138.5
Investing activities		(19.0	)		(15.7	)
Financing activities		(2.5	)		(12.2	)

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our primary source of cash was from operations, while our primary use of cash was from financing activities (including funding of the Loan Agreement with LTRIP of $327 million and payment of withholding taxes on net share settlements of our equity awards of $9 million) and investing activities (including capital expenditures of $19 million). This use of cash was funded with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our primary source of cash was from operations, while our primary use of cash was from financing activities (including payment of withholding taxes on net share settlements of our equity awards of $10 million), and investing activities (including capital expenditures of $16 million). This use of cash was funded with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by approximately $37 million, when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in working capital of $78 million, as well as a decrease in non-cash items of $7 million related to a decrease in deferred income tax expense, largely offset by an improvement in net losses of $48 million. The decrease in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by the timing of collection of cash from customers, the timing of vendor payments and deferred merchant payments to experience operators, as well as a decrease in our income tax provision, as discussed above under “(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes.”

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $3 million, when compared to the same period in 2024, due to an increase in capital expenditures investment across the business.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by approximately $9 million, when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to proceeds received from the issuance of our Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility of $341 million, net of financing costs, largely offset by the funding of the Loan Agreement with LTRIP of $327 million.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes outside the normal course of business to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments since December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, other than our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part II, Item 7. —Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2024 Annual Report for a discussion of our contractual obligations and commercial commitments.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are party to legal, regulatory and administrative matters, including threats thereof, arising out of or in connection with our operations. These matters may involve claims involving patent and other intellectual property rights (including privacy, alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights), tax matters (including value-added, excise, transient occupancy and accommodation taxes), regulatory compliance (including competition, consumer matters and data privacy), contractual disputes (including breach of a covenant or disagreements as to interpretation), defamation and reputational claims. Periodically, we review the status of all significant outstanding matters to assess any potential financial exposure. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and is material, we record the estimated loss in our consolidated statements of operations. We provide disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both of these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the consolidated financial statements. We base accruals on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not believe that the final disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, except for certain known income tax matters discussed below. However, the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from our estimates. Finally, there may be claims or actions pending or threatened against us of which we are currently not aware and the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are under audit by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and non-income tax matters. We have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of audits could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the period for which that determination is made.

Refer to “Note 7: Income Taxes” and “Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information on other potential contingencies, including ongoing audits by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities, and other tax and legal matters.

Over recent years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) through its “Inclusive Framework” has been working on a “two-pillar” global tax consensus project that, if implemented, would result in certain changes to the current global tax regulatory framework. The OECD’s “Pillar One” initiative proposes to reallocate certain profits from the largest and most profitable multinational businesses to countries where the customers of those businesses are located, and the “Pillar Two” initiative proposes a global minimum income tax rate on corporations of 15%. In response to these proposals, certain jurisdictions have enacted legislation to implement a global minimum income tax of 15%, which currently has no impact on our financial results, as well as legislation to impose new forms of gross receipts taxes, such as digital services taxes imposed on digital advertising and online marketplace platforms/services.

If consensus is reached on Pillar One, unilateral digital services taxes should be repealed, however until such time we continue to be subject to these taxes. We are currently subject to unilateral digital services taxes, and during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of digital service taxes to cost of sales on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. While the future of the global tax regulatory landscape remains uncertain, we continue to monitor the OECD’s and members ongoing discussions to determine the current and potential impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Due to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits in 2017, as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, the majority of previously unremitted earnings have been subjected to U.S. federal income tax. To the extent future distributions from these subsidiaries will be taxable, a deferred income tax liability has been accrued on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, which was not material as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $586 million of our cumulative undistributed foreign earnings were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in our market risk profile during the three months ended March 31, 2025 since December 31, 2024. For additional information about our market risk profile, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A. in Part II of our 2024 Annual Report.

Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are exposed to market risks primarily due to our international operations, our ongoing investment and financial activities, as well as changes in economic conditions in all significant markets in which we operate. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in our future earnings, cash flows, fair values of our assets, and financial condition. Our exposure to market risk, at any point in time, may include risks related to any borrowings under the Credit Facility, or outstanding debt related to the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility, derivative instruments, capped calls, cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities, if any, accounts receivable, intercompany receivables/payables, accounts payable, deferred merchant payables and other balances and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage and attempt to mitigate our exposure to such risks.

Our exposure to potentially volatile movements in foreign currency exchange rates will increase as our business grows in international markets. The economic impact of foreign currency exchange rate movement is linked to variability in the macroeconomic environment such as inflation and interest rates, governmental actions, and geopolitical events such as regional conflicts. We regularly monitor the macroeconomic environment, which has seen some volatility as a result of geopolitical tensions resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, as well as increased cyberattacks, other military conflicts, sanctions and tariffs. Developments in the macroeconomic environment could cause us to adjust our foreign currency risk strategies. Continued uncertainty regarding our international operations, including U.K. and E.U. relations, may result in future currency exchange rate volatility which may impact our business and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2025, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Refer to “Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding any legal proceedings. For an additional discussion of certain risks associated with legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
