Current report
During 2026, events in the Middle East reduced global air capacity and drove a material increase in prices, which adversely affected our booked air ticket volume, while having a less pronounced impact on total booked value. Our air bookings grew in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 in line with growth in our lodging business.
Current report

Previous report
During 2025, air travel demand exhibited a mixed but improving trend. While ticket volumes were positive throughout the year, pricing was pressured by softer consumer demand in the United States and weaker inbound international travel into the United States in early 2025. By the end of the year, domestic and international travel demand improved, supporting air ticket price growth. For the full year 2025, U.S. domestic trips were up approximately 2% year-over-year according to Airlines Report Corporation ("ARC") data. Our air bookings grew in 2025 compared to 2024 but continued to lag the growth in our lodging business. Our air bookings grew in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 in line with growth in our lodging business.

Reworded paragraphs (38)
Previous wording
The Company continues to operate in an increasingly complex business environment and global macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, including trade disruptions, currency fluctuations and energy price volatility, contributed to this environment for the travel industry. As an example, during the first quarter of 2026, events in the Middle East and Mexico had an adverse impact on the travel industry. If these pressures are intensified or sustained, travel behaviors may be impacted and any associated decrease in overall demand would negatively impact our business. In addition, our suppliers, business and service partners could also be impacted, thereby increasing our risk of credit losses and service level or other disruptions. Our future operational results may be subject to volatility, particularly in the short-term, due to the impact of the aforementioned trends.
Current wording
The Company continues to operate in an increasingly complex business environment and global macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, including trade disruptions, currency fluctuations and energy price volatility, contributed to this environment for the travel industry. For example, events in the Middle East and Mexico late in the first quarter of 2026 negatively affected the travel industry, and that pressure continued into the second quarter, particularly in Europe, where macro headwinds and reduced air capacity weighed on demand. If these pressures are intensified or sustained, travel behaviors may be impacted and any associated decrease in overall demand would negatively impact our business. In addition, our suppliers, business and service partners could also be impacted, thereby increasing our risk of credit losses and service level or other disruptions. Our future operational results may be subject to volatility, particularly in the short-term, due to the impact of the aforementioned trends.

The market opportunity for online travel is broad and highly competitive. Online penetration of travel expenditures is higher in the U.S. and Western European markets with online penetration rates in some emerging markets, such as Latin America and Eastern European regions, lagging behind those regions. Emerging markets continue to present an attractive growth opportunity for our business, while also attracting many competitors to online travel. Technological developments in generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools are increasingly being used to create competing offerings, such as AI powered digital planning and assistance, further increasing competition.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the IRS replaced the prior adjustments and issued new adjustments for tax years 2011 to 2016 that apply a different method of adjusting transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries. The IRS also issued adjustments for 2017 and 2018. The adjustments, as proposed, would result in a federal income tax of approximately $287 million to $313 million for tax years 2011 to 2013, approximately $488 million to $531 million for tax years 2014 to 2016, and approximately $213 million to $380 million for tax years 2017 to 2018, subject to interest. We do not agree with these adjustments and will continue to vigorously defend our position through administrative procedures. The IRS has indicated that adjustments for this matter are not relevant for tax years 2019 to 2020.
