| | Expedia, Inc. makes travel products and services available on a merchant and agency basis. Merchant transactions typically produce a higher level of net revenue per transaction and are generally recognized when the customer uses the travel product or service. Agency revenues are generally recognized at the time the reservation is booked. | ||
| | Merchant bookings accounted for 44% of total gross bookings for the third quarter of 2007 compared with 42% in the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in our European merchant bookings. |
| | Cost of revenue primarily consists of: (1) costs of our call and data centers, including telesales expense; (2) credit card merchant fees; (3) fees paid to fulfillment vendors for processing airline tickets and related customer services; (4) costs paid to suppliers for certain destination inventory; and (5) reserves and related payments to airlines for tickets purchased with fraudulent credit cards. | ||
| | Cost of revenue was 19.9% of revenue for the third quarter of 2007 and 21.7% for the prior year period. Excluding stock-based compensation, cost of revenue was 19.8% of revenue for the third quarter of 2007 and 21.4% for the prior year period. Cost of revenue excluding stock-based compensation decreased 157 basis points as a percentage of revenue due to our various efficiency initiatives and an increased mix of advertising and media revenue. | ||
| | Cost of revenue includes depreciation expense of $4 million for the third quarter of 2007, and $3 million for the comparable 2006 period. |
| | Operating expenses in millions and as a percentage of revenue for the third quarters of 2007 and 2006 were as follows (some numbers may not add due to rounding): |

| | Operating expenses include depreciation expense of $11 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $10 million in the prior year period. | ||
| Selling and Marketing (non-GAAP) |
| o | Selling and marketing expense primarily relates to direct advertising expense, including television, radio and print spending, as well as traffic generation costs from internet portals, search engines and our private label and affiliate programs. | ||
| o | Approximately 21% of selling and marketing expense in the third quarter of 2007 and 20% for the prior year period relate to indirect costs including personnel in PSG, TripAdvisor, ECT and destination services. | ||
| o | The increase in selling and marketing expense was primarily due to increased direct online and brand spend to support our worldwide points of sale, including spend at Hotels.com and Expedia sites in Europe, our TripAdvisor network, our European private label and affiliate channels, Hotels.com, Hotwire and Expedia.com, as well as increased personnel costs related to TripAdvisor, destination services, PSG and other teams. | ||
| o | We expect selling and marketing expense to increase as a percentage of revenue in 2007 as we aggressively support our established brands and geographies, grow our earlier stage international markets, increase our use of brand spend as markets reach scale, invest in our global advertising and media businesses and expand our corporate travel sales, destination services and market management teams. |
7 of 19
| o | General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs for support functions that include our executive leadership, finance, legal, tax, technology and human resources functions, and fees for professional services that include legal, tax and accounting. | ||
| o | The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increased incentive accruals, personnel costs related to expansion of our corporate IT functions and our European businesses, and increased legal expenses. | ||
| o | We expect general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2007 as compared to the prior year. |
| o | Technology and content expense includes product development expenses principally related to payroll and related expenses, hardware and software expenditures and software development cost amortization. | ||
| o | The increase in technology and content expense was due to increased personnel costs and amortization of capitalized software costs, a significant amount of which we began putting into service beginning with the fourth quarter of 2006. | ||
| o | Given our historical and ongoing investments in our enterprise data warehouse, re-platforming, geographic expansion, data centers, redundancy, call center technology, site merchandising, content management, site monitoring, networking, corporate travel, supplier integration and other initiatives, we expect technology and content expense to increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in both 2007 and 2008. |
| | Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to expense for stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs). Since February 2003 we have awarded RSUs as our primary form of employee stock-based compensation. Our stock-based awards generally vest over five years. | ||
| | Third quarter stock-based compensation expense was $14 million, consisting of $11 million in expense related to RSUs and other equity compensation and $3 million in stock option expense. | ||
| | Third quarter stock-based compensation decreased $2 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to completed vesting of previous option awards, partially offset by higher expense related to RSU grants. | ||
| | Assuming, among other things, no modification of existing awards, significant incremental award grants, adjustments to forfeiture estimates or meaningful changes in our stock price, we expect annual stock-based compensation expense will be approximately $65 million in 2007 and 2008. |
| | The $17 million decrease in other, net for the third quarter primarily relates to a $12 million net foreign exchange loss in the third quarter of 2007, compared with a $2 million gain in the prior year period. |
| | The effective tax rate on GAAP pre-tax income was 39.8% for the third quarter 2007 compared with 38.8% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate on pre-tax adjusted income was 38.6% for the third quarter 2007 compared with 37.5% in the prior year period. The effective rates for both GAAP and pre-tax adjusted income increased primarily due to tax return adjustments in the prior year period. Both third quarter 2007 rates were higher than the statutory rate principally due to state income taxes and tax reserves. | ||
| | Cash paid for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $70 million, an increase of $6 million from the prior year period. We anticipate tax-related payments for full-year 2007 will decrease compared with 2006 due to higher stock-based deductions related to recent increases in our stock price. |
| | As Expedias reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar (USD), reported financial results are affected by the strength or weakness of the USD in comparison to our international operations functional currencies. Management believes investors may find it useful to assess growth rates with and without the impact of foreign exchange. |

| | The positive impact of foreign exchange on our cash balances denominated in foreign currency was $14 million in the third quarter of 2007, and is included in effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents on our statements of cash flows. This amount reflects a net increase of $4 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a higher net gain from holding or converting foreign currencies in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year period. |
| | Acquisitions increased third quarter 2007 gross bookings growth by 0.1%, revenue growth by 1.8% and OIBA growth by 1.2%. These acquisitions increased year-to-date gross bookings growth by 0.1%, revenue growth by 1.7% and OIBA growth by 1.7%. These acquisitions were primarily related to media content businesses. |
| | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $857 million at September 30, 2007. This amount includes $21 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily related to merchant air revenue transactions, and $159 million of cash at eLong, whose results are consolidated in our financial statements due to our controlling voting and economic ownership position. | ||
| | The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 principally relates to $1.4 billion in treasury stock activity primarily related to tender offer repurchases of 55 million common shares, $89 million in acquisitions, long-term investments and deposits, $70 million in cash tax payments and $58 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by a $597 million net benefit from changes in operating assets and liabilities, $504 million in OIBA, $500 million in revolver borrowings and $45 million in proceeds from equity award exercises. |
| | Accounts receivable include credit card receivables generally due within two to three days from credit card agencies, receivables from agency transactions generally due within 30 days after booking, and receivables from global distribution system partners generally due within 60 to 120 days after booking. | ||
| | Accounts and notes receivable increased $106 million from December 31, 2006 due to growth in our various lines of business. |
| | Prepaid merchant bookings primarily relate to our merchant air business and reflect prepayments to our airline partners for their portion of the gross booking, prior to the travelers dates of travel. The $32 million increase in prepaid merchant bookings from December 31, 2006 is due in part to increased air bookings at Hotwire. | ||
| | Prepaid expenses and other current assets are primarily composed of prepaid marketing, prepaid merchant fees, prepaid license and maintenance agreements and prepaid insurance. |
9 of 19
| | Long-term investments and other assets include transportation equipment, collateral deposits related to our cross-currency swap agreements, equity investments and capitalized debt issuance costs. | ||
| | Long-term investments and other assets increased $30 million from December 31, 2006 primarily due to a first quarter equity investment in a travel company. |
| | Goodwill and intangible assets, net primarily relates to the acquisitions of Hotels.com, Expedia.com and Hotwire.com. | ||
| | Goodwill increased $52 million from acquisitions completed since December 31, 2006. | ||
| | $867 million of intangible assets, net relates to intangible assets with indefinite lives, which are not amortized, principally related to acquired trade names and trademarks. | ||
| | $121 million of intangible assets, net relates to intangible assets with definite lives, which are generally amortized over a period of two to ten years. The majority of this amortization is not deductible for tax purposes. | ||
| | Amortization expense related to definite lived intangibles was $19 million for the third quarter, compared with $27 million for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the completed amortization of certain technology and supplier intangible assets over the past year. Assuming no impairments or additional acquisitions, we expect amortization expense for definite lived intangibles of $78 million in 2007 and $57 million in 2008. |
| | Accounts payable, other primarily consists of payables related to the day-to-day operations of our business. | ||
| | Accounts payable, other increased $65 million from December 31, 2006 primarily due to accrued marketing expenses related to increased marketing efforts at our various points of sale, as well as an increase in corporate accounts payable in keeping with the growth of our business. |
| | Deferred merchant bookings consist of amounts received from travelers who have not yet traveled and the balances generally mirror the seasonality pattern of our gross bookings. The payment to suppliers related to these bookings is generally made within two weeks after booking for air travel and, for all other merchant bookings, after the customers use of services and subsequent billing from the supplier, which billing is reflected as accounts payable, merchant on our balance sheet. Therefore, especially for merchant hotel, there is a significant period of time from the receipt of cash from our travelers to supplier payment. | ||
| | As long as the merchant hotel business continues to grow and our business model does not meaningfully change, we expect that changes in working capital related to this business will continue to be a positive contributor to operating and free cash flow. If this business declines or if the model changes significantly, it would negatively affect our working capital. | ||
| | For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the change in deferred merchant booking and accounts payable, merchant contributed $573 million to net cash provided by operating activities, primarily related to seasonality associated with, and growth in, our merchant hotel business. |
| | Income taxes payable increased $22 million from December 31, 2006 reflecting an increase in our taxes due primarily to taxable income generated during the first nine months of the year. |
| | Other current liabilities principally relate to accruals for cost of service related to our call center and internet services, accruals for service, bonus, salary and wage liabilities, a reserve related to occupancy taxes, and accrued interest on our Notes and credit facility. | ||
| | Other current liabilities includes $30 million related to our tax sharing agreement with Microsoft and the fair value of our Ask derivative, which relates to notes which are due June 1, 2008 (see Ask Derivative Liability). | ||
| | Other current liabilities increased $25 million from December 31, 2006 primarily due to the reclassification of $15 million from other long-term liabilities related to our Ask derivative. |
10 of 19
| | In connection with IAC/Interactive Corps acquisition of Ask, we issued 4.3 million shares of Expedia, Inc. common stock into an escrow account, which shares (or cash in equal value) were due to holders of Ask convertible notes upon conversion. These shares have been included in diluted shares from the date of our spin-off from IAC. | ||
| | During the third quarter of 2007 notes were converted for less than 10,000 common shares, which when combined with prior conversions of 3.8 million shares, leaves 0.5 million shares of Expedia common stock (or cash in equal value) due to Ask convertible note holders upon conversion. The Ask notes are due June 1, 2008; upon maturity our obligation to satisfy demands for conversion ceases. | ||
| | The estimated fair value of the Ask derivative at September 30, 2007 was $15 million, and is recorded in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. | ||
| | For the third quarter we recorded a net unrealized loss of $1 million related to the Ask derivative due to the increase in our share price at the end of the third quarter of 2007 compared with the end of the second quarter of 2007. This loss is reflected as an increase in other current liabilities, is recorded in other, net on our consolidated statements of income and is excluded from both our OIBA and adjusted net income calculations. | ||
| | We anticipate recording a quarterly unrealized gain or loss in future quarters related to any remaining liability as we adjust the fair value for changes in our stock price, as measured at subsequent quarter-ends compared with the prior quarter-end. |
| | Expedia, Inc. maintains a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in August 2010. As of September 30, 2007, we had $500 million in borrowings outstanding under our revolver, which amount was drawn in conjunction with the August 2007 funding of our 25 million share tender offer. | ||
| | Outstanding borrowings bear interest based on our financial leverage, which based on our September 30, 2007 financials would equate to a base rate plus 62.5 basis points. At our discretion we can choose a base rate equal to (1) the greater of the Prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points or (2) various durations of LIBOR. The base rate is currently 1-month LIBOR of 5.13%, and is due to re-price on November 15. | ||
| | As of September 30, 2007 we were in compliance with our leverage and net worth covenants under the credit facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the facility as of that date were $52 million, which balance reduces our available borrowing capacity. | ||
| | Long-term debt relates to $500 million in registered 7.456% Senior Notes (the Notes) due 2018, which were issued in August 2006. The Notes are repayable in whole or in part on August 15, 2013 at the option of the note holders. We may redeem the Notes at any time at our option. | ||
| | Semi-annual interest expense related to the Notes is $19 million, paid on February 15 and August 15 of each year. Accrued interest related to the notes was $5 million at September 30, 2007 and $13 million at December 31, 2006, and such amounts are classified as other current liabilities on our balance sheet. |
| | Other long-term liabilities include $74 million in uncertain tax positions recorded under FIN 48. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 these amounts were classified as taxes payable in current liabilities. | ||
| | Other long-term liabilities also includes $21 million of derivative liabilities, primarily related to cross-currency swaps, which increased $8 million from December 31, 2006 primarily due to the weakening of the USD compared with the Euro. |
| | Minority interest primarily relates to the minority ownership position in eLong, an entity in which we own a 56% interest (52% fully-diluted) and results for which are consolidated for all periods presented. |
| | At September 30, 2007 we have agreements with certain vendors under which we have future minimum obligations of $21 million for the remainder of 2007, $9 million in 2008 and $8 million in 2009. These minimum obligations for telecom, loyalty, software and other support services are less than our projected use for those periods, and we expect payment to be more than the minimum obligations based on our actual use. In addition, if |
11 of 19
| certain obligations are met by our counterparties, our obligations will increase. These obligations are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets herein. |
| | In conjunction with our investment in a travel company, we have entered into a commitment to provide a $10 million revolving operating line of credit and a credit facility for up to $20 million. No amounts were drawn on the line of credit or credit facility as of September 30, 2007. | ||
| | In conjunction with one of our acquisitions we are obligated to pay an additional purchase price ranging from $0 to approximately $100 million based on the 2007 and 2008 financial performance of the acquired company. Such amount (if any) would be payable in the first half of 2008 and/or 2009. | ||
| | In June 2007, we entered into a lease for new headquarters office space located in Bellevue, Washington. The ten-year term and cash payments related to this lease are expected to begin in November 2008. | ||
| | Our estimated future minimum rental payments under operating leases with noncancelable lease terms that expire after September 30, 2007 are $7.0 million for the remainder of 2007, $29.0 million for 2008, $28.7 million for 2009, $26.1 million for 2010, $24.8 million for 2011 and $116.7 million for 2012 and thereafter. |
| | In August 2007 we completed a tender offer to purchase 25 million shares of Expedia, Inc. at a price of $29.00 for a total cost of $725 million excluding fees and expenses. The Company used $500 million in available borrowings under its revolving credit facility and approximately $225 million in cash to fund the tender offer. The Companys directors and executive officers and Liberty Media Corporation did not tender any shares. | ||
| | In August 2006 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million common shares. There is no fixed termination date for the authorization, and as of the date of this release we have not repurchased any shares under this authorization. This authorization was not impacted by the above tender offer and remains outstanding. |
| | There are approximately 26 million shares of Expedia Class B common stock outstanding, owned by Liberty Media Corporation and its subsidiaries (Liberty). Class B shares are entitled to ten votes per share when voting on matters with the holders of Expedia common and preferred stock. | ||
| | Through the common stock our Chairman and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, owns directly, as well as the common stock and Class B stock for which he has been assigned an irrevocable proxy from Liberty, Mr. Diller had a controlling 60% voting interest in Expedia, Inc. as of October 12, 2007. |
| | As of September 30, 2007 we had 58.5 million warrants outstanding, which, if exercised in full, would entitle holders to acquire 34.6 million common shares of Expedia, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $774 million (representing an average of approximately $22 per Expedia, Inc. common share). | ||
| | 32.2 million of these warrants are privately held and expire in 2012, and 26.0 million warrants are publicly-traded and expire in 2009. There are 0.3 million other warrants outstanding. |
| | In October we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, under which we may offer from time to time debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock or warrants. The shelf registration statement expires in October 2010. |
| | At September 30, 2007 we had 28.3 million stock-based awards outstanding, consisting of stock options to purchase 19.9 million common shares with a $16.66 weighted average exercise price and weighted average remaining life of 2.6 years, and 8.4 million RSUs. | ||
| | During the third quarter 2007 we granted 0.4 million RSUs, primarily related to new hire grants. | ||
| | Through September 30, 2007 total equity grants were 3.6 million, or 2.1 million net of cancellations, expirations and forfeitures. | ||
| | On October 8, 2007 Expedias Chairman and Senior Executive exercised options to purchase 9.5 million shares, which options would have otherwise expired on October 19, 2007, following their 10-year term. 2.3 million |
12 of 19
| shares were withheld by Expedia to cover the exercise price of $8.59 per share and 3.5 million shares were withheld to cover tax obligations, with a net delivery to Mr. Diller of 3.7 million shares. Mr. Diller intends to hold the shares issued to him upon exercise of the options. | |||
| | Expedia cancelled all withheld shares and made the required tax payments of $121 million in connection with Mr. Dillers exercise. These tax payments will appear in Financing Activities on our Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2007. | ||
| | Following the October 2007 option exercise, we had 10.4 million options remaining outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $24.05 and a weighted average remaining life of 4.9 years. |
| | Weighted average basic, fully diluted and adjusted diluted share counts are as follows (in 000s; some numbers may not add due to rounding): |

| | The decrease in basic, fully diluted and adjusted diluted shares as compared to the end of 2006 and the prior year quarter primarily relates to the completion of our tender offers for 30 million common shares in January and 25 million common shares in August 2007. | ||
| | This decrease in diluted share counts was partially offset by dilution from warrants, options and RSUs related to the increase in our stock price and the accompanying impact of such increase on the treasury method calculation for dilutive securities. |
