Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide travel products and services to leisure and corporate travelers in the United States and abroad as well as various media and advertising offerings to travel and non-travel advertisers. These travel products and services are offered through a diversified portfolio of brands including: Expedia.com®, Hotels.com®, Hotwire.com^TM, Travelocity®, Expedia® Affiliate Network, Classic Vacations®, Expedia Local Expert®, Egencia®, Expedia® CruiseShipCenters®, Venere.com^TM, trivago®, CarRentals.com^TM, Wotif Group, Orbitz Worldwide (“Orbitz”) acquired in September 2015, HomeAway® acquired in December 2015, and eLong^TM through its sale on May 22, 2015. In addition, many of these brands have related international points of sale, including those as part of AirAsia-Expedia upon our acquisition of a controlling interest in March 2015. We refer to Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Expedia,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

These accompanying financial statements present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Expedia, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities we control, or in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary of expected cash profits or losses. We have eliminated significant intercompany transactions and accounts.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Accounting Estimates

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

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts related to our prior period results to conform to our current period presentation.

Seasonality

We generally experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our travel products and services. For example, traditional leisure travel bookings are generally the highest in the first three quarters as travelers plan and book their spring, summer and holiday travel. The number of bookings typically decreases in the fourth quarter. Because revenue for most of our travel products, including merchant and agency hotel, is recognized when the travel takes place rather than when it is booked, revenue typically lags bookings by several weeks or longer. The seasonal revenue impact is exacerbated with respect to income by the nature of our variable cost of revenue and direct sales and marketing costs, which we typically realize in closer alignment to booking volumes, and the more stable nature of our fixed costs. Furthermore, operating profits for our primary advertising business, trivago, are experienced in the second half of the year as selling and marketing costs offset revenue in the first half of the year as we aggressively market during the busy booking period for summer travel. As a result, revenue and income are typically the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter. The continued growth of our international

operations or a change in our product mix, including the assimilation, growth and shift to more of a transaction-based business model for the vacation rental listing business of HomeAway, may influence the typical trend of the seasonality in the future.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

As of January 1, 2016, we adopted the Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Upon adoption, we retroactively restated deferred issuance costs from current and long-term assets to the respective debt liability. The adoption of this guidance and prior fiscal year reclassifications did not have a material impact on our previously reported consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2016, we prospectively adopted the ASU clarifying the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. This standard clarified whether a customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as an acquisition of a software license or as a service arrangement by providing characteristics that a cloud computing arrangement must have in order to be accounted for as a software license acquisition. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to accounting for share-based payments. The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the second quarter of 2016, which requires us to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital for all periods in 2016. Additionally, our consolidated statement of cash flows now present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on a prospective basis. Finally, we have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The net cumulative effect of this change was recognized as a $7 million reduction to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016.

Adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital of $10 million and $27 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Recent Accounting Policies Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued an ASU deferring the effective date of the revenue standard so it would be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption prohibited before December 15, 2016. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires entities that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the statement of cash flows which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and Other Investments

For our acquisition of HomeAway in December 2015, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary and subject to revision while we accumulate all relevant information regarding the fair values of the net assets acquired. The final allocation may include changes to the acquisition date fair value of goodwill and deferred taxes as well as operating assets and liabilities. During the first nine months of 2016, there were no adjustments made to the HomeAway purchase price allocation that materially impacted the consolidated balance sheet or current period earnings.

Orbitz Acquisition. On September 17, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., including all of its brands, including Orbitz, ebookers, HotelClub, CheapTickets, Orbitz Partner Network and Orbitz for Business, for a total purchase consideration of $1.8 billion. The acquisition provides Expedia the opportunity to deliver a better customer experience to Orbitz’s loyal customer base and to further enhance the marketing and distribution capabilities we offer to our global supply partners.

The purchase consideration consisted primarily of $1.4 billion in cash, or $12 per share for all shares of Orbitz common stock outstanding as of the purchase date, as well as the settlement of $432 million of pre-existing Orbitz debt at the closing of the acquisition. Purchase consideration also included $17 million for the portion of certain unvested employee restricted stock unit awards of Orbitz attributable to pre-combination services, which were replaced with Expedia awards in conjunction with the acquisition and measured at fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value for the portion of these awards, attributable to post combination services was $49 million, net of estimated forfeitures, of which $34 million was recognized during 2015.

The following summarizes the allocation of the final purchase price for Orbitz, in thousands:

goodwill was allocated to the Core Online Travel Agencies ("Core OTA") segment and not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Orbitz was consolidated into our financial statements starting on the acquisition date and we recognized a related $19 million in revenue and $86 million in operating losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the Orbitz acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2015, is presented as follows, in thousands:



	Nine months ended September 30, 2015
Revenue	$	5,643,060
Net income attributable to Expedia, Inc.	848,342

The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to amortization of acquired intangibles, depreciation of fixed assets, certain accounting policy alignments as well as direct and incremental acquisition related costs reflected in the historical financial statements.

In connection with the merger, Orbitz incurred fees paid to financial advisors totaling approximately $25 million, which were contingent upon closing and were excluded from both Expedia’s consolidated statement of operations and the pre-combination financial statements of Orbitz. In addition, Orbitz offered certain employees a continuity incentive of approximately $30 million for continuing employment through the closing date and beyond. The first half of the incentives were contingent and paid upon the closing of the acquisition and related to services provided in the pre-acquisition period. The second half of the incentive was payable 180 days after the closing (or upon involuntary termination, if applicable) and was expensed to restructuring and related reorganization charges over the applicable service period.

Other than costs mentioned above that were contingent upon closing, acquisition-related costs incurred by Expedia, which included legal, finance, consulting and other professional fees, were expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses and were approximately $6 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Other 2015 Acquisitions. The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for other acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, including Travelocity and a controlling interest in our former 50/50 joint venture with AirAsia Berhad, in thousands:

Net assets and non-controlling interests acquired⁽²⁾	(23,366		)
Deferred tax liabilities, net	(7,910		)
Total⁽³⁾	$	474,681


(1)	Acquired definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationship, reacquired right and supplier relationship assets and have estimated useful lives of between four and ten years with a weighted average life of 5.8 years.


(2)	Includes cash acquired of $41 million.


(3)	The total purchase price includes noncash consideration of $99 million related to an equity method investment, which was consolidated upon our acquisition of a controlling interest, with the remainder paid in cash during the period.

Other Investments. On March 10, 2015, we announced that Expedia and Decolar.com, Inc. (“Decolar”), the Latin American online travel company that operates the Decolar.com and Despegar.com branded websites, have expanded our partnership to include deeper cooperation on hotel supply and a $270 million cost method investment by Expedia in Decolar, which is included within long-term investments and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Note 4 – Disposition of Business

On May 22, 2015, we completed the sale of our 62.4% ownership stake in eLong, Inc., which was previously a separate reportable segment, for approximately $671 million (or $666 million net of costs to sell and other transaction expenses) to several purchasers, including Ctrip.com International, Ltd. Of the total sales price, approximately $67 million was remitted directly to escrow for estimated tax obligations, and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and represented a noncash item in our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As a result of the sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $509 million ($395 million after tax) during the second quarter of 2015 included in gain on sale of business in our consolidated statement of operations.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of our eLong business immediately preceding the disposition on May 22, 2015, in thousands:



Total current assets⁽¹⁾	$	350,196
Total long-term assets	137,709
Total assets divested	$	487,905
Total current liabilities	$	187,296
Total long-term liabilities	5,782
Total liabilities divested	$	193,078
Components of accumulated other comprehensive income divested	45,259
Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest divested	92,550
Net carrying value divested	$	157,018


(1)	Includes cash and cash equivalents of approximately $74 million.

We evaluated the disposition of eLong and determined it did not meet the “major effect” criteria for classification as a discontinued operation largely due to the recency of material impacts to our quarterly consolidated operating and net income at the time of the determination. However, we determined that the disposition did represent an individually significant component of our business. The following table presents certain amounts related to eLong in our consolidated results of operations through its disposal on May 22, 2015:

(1)	Includes stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets of approximately $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which was included within Corporate & Eliminations in Note 15 – Segment Information.


(2)	The nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes the pre-tax gain of $509 million related to the gain on sale.


(3)	The nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes the after-tax gain of $395 million related to the gain on sale.

Total assets	$	353,914	$	218,340	$	135,574

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

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of prime institutional money market funds with maturities of three months or less, time deposits as well as bank account balances.

We invest in investment grade corporate debt securities, all of which are classified as available for sale. As of September 30, 2016, we had $26 million of short-term and $44 million of long-term available for sale investments and the amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value with gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses both of less than $1 million. As of December 31, 2015, we had $34 million of short-term and $65 million of long-term available for sale investments and the amortized cost basis of the investments approximated their fair value with both gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses of less than $1 million.

We also hold time deposit investments with financial institutions. Time deposits with original maturities of less than three months are classified as cash equivalents and those with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified within short-term investments.

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. We use foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain merchant revenue exposures, foreign denominated liabilities related to certain of our loyalty programs and our other foreign currency-denominated operating liabilities. Our goal in managing our foreign exchange risk is to reduce, to the extent practicable, our potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on our earnings, cash flows and financial position. Our foreign currency forward contracts are typically short-term and, as they do not

qualify for hedge accounting treatment, we classify the changes in their fair value in other, net. As of September 30, 2016, we were party to outstanding forward contracts hedging our liability and revenue exposures with a total net notional value of $1.9 billion. We had a net forward asset of $1 million as of September 30, 2016 and a net forward asset of $8 million as of December 31, 2015 recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. We recorded $4 million and $32 million in net gains from foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and $44 million in net losses and $47 million in net gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Long-term debt⁽¹⁾	$	3,204,210	$	3,183,140


(1)	Net of applicable discounts and debt issuance costs.

Long-term Debt

Our $500 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are due in August 2018 and bear interest at 7.456% (the “7.456% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. At any time Expedia may redeem the 7.456% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium, in whole or in part.

Our $750 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are due in August 2020 and bear interest at 5.95% (the “5.95% Notes”). The 5.95% Notes were issued at 99.893% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. We may redeem the 5.95% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium, in whole or in part.

Our Euro 650 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are due in June 2022 and bear interest at 2.5% (the “2.5% Notes”). The 2.5% Notes were issued at 99.525% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable annually in arrears in June of each year, beginning June 3, 2016. We may redeem the 2.5% Notes at our option, at whole or in part, at any time or from time to time. If we elect to redeem the 2.5% Notes on or after March 3, 2022, we may redeem them at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. Subject to certain limited exceptions, all payments of interest and principal for the 2.5% Notes will be made in Euros.

The aggregate principal value of the 2.5% Notes is designated as a hedge of our net investment in certain Euro functional currency subsidiaries. The notes are measured at Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rates at each balance sheet date and transaction gains or losses due to changes in rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). The Euro-denominated net assets of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at each balance sheet date, with effects of foreign currency changes also reported in accumulated OCI. Since the notional amount of the recorded Euro-denominated debt is less than the notional amount of our net investment, we do not expect to incur any ineffectiveness on this hedge.

Our $500 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are due in August 2024 and bear interest at 4.5% (the “4.5% Notes”). The 4.5% Notes were issued at 99.444% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. We may redeem the 4.5% Notes at our option at any time in whole or from time to time in part. If we elect to redeem the 4.5% Notes prior to May 15, 2024, we may redeem them at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium. If we elect to redeem the 4.5% Notes on or after May 15, 2024, we may redeem them at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Our $750 million in privately placed senior unsecured notes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are due in February 2026 and bear interest at 5.0% (the “5.0% Notes”). In October 2016, we initiated an offer to exchange the 5.0% Notes for registered notes having substantially the same financial terms and covenants as the original notes. We expect the exchange offer will be complete in November 2016. The 5.0% Notes were issued at 99.535% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, beginning August 15, 2016. We may redeem the 5.0% Notes at our option at any time in whole or from time to time in part. If we elect to redeem the 5.0% Notes prior to November 12, 2025, we may redeem them at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium. If we elect to redeem the 5.0% Notes on or after November 12, 2025, we may redeem them at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest. We have also entered into a registrations rights agreement with respect to the 5.0% Notes, under which we have agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement to permit the exchange of the 5.0% Notes for registered notes having the same financial terms and covenants as 5.0% Notes, cause such registration statement to become effective and complete the related exchange offer by no later than December 7, 2016. If we fail to satisfy certain of its obligations under the registration rights agreement, we will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum to the holders of the 5.0% Notes until such registrations right default is cured.

The 7.456%, 5.95%, 4.5%, 2.5% and 5.0% Notes (collectively the “Notes”) are senior unsecured obligations issued by Expedia and guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Expedia and the guarantor subsidiaries. For further information, see Note 16 — Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Supplemental Financial Information. In addition, the Notes include covenants that limit our ability to (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions and (iii) merge or consolidate with or into another entity or transfer substantially all of our assets. Accrued interest related to the Notes was $24 million and $52 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The 5.95%, 4.5%, 2.5% and 5.0% Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the holders thereof, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The following table sets forth the approximate fair value of our outstanding debt, which is based on quoted market prices in less active markets (Level 2 inputs):



	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
	(In thousands)
7.456% senior notes due 2018	$	550,000	$	555,000

(1)	Approximately 691 million Euro as of September 30, 2016 and 644 million Euro as of December 31, 2015.

Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2016, Expedia, Inc. maintained a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders, which is unconditionally guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries that are the same as under the Notes and expires in February 2021. As of September 30, 2016, we had no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding. The facility bears interest based on the Company’s credit ratings, with drawn amounts bearing interest at LIBOR plus 137.5 basis points and the commitment fee on undrawn amounts at 17.5 basis points as of September 30, 2016. The facility contains covenants including maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios.

The amount of stand-by letters of credit (“LOC”) issued under the facility reduces the credit amount available. As of September 30, 2016, there was $20 million of outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under the facility.

The current facility was entered into in February 2016 and replaced our prior $1 billion unsecured revolving credit that had a September 2019 expiration date. As of December 31, 2015, we had no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding under the prior facility and $29 million of outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under that facility.

In addition, one of our international subsidiaries maintains a Euro 50 million uncommitted credit facility, which is guaranteed by Expedia, Inc., that may be terminated at any time by the lender. There were no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, we had Euro 20 million in borrowings outstanding included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Another of our international subsidiaries maintains a $5.6 million uncommitted credit facility, which is guaranteed by Expedia, Inc., that may be terminated at any time by the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

lender. We had approximately $5 million in borrowings outstanding included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

HomeAway Debt Repayment

On December 15, 2015, we completed our acquisition of HomeAway, Inc., including all of its brands. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed approximately $402.5 million of 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”). However, following the consummation of the HomeAway acquisition, we subsequently delivered a notice to holders of the Convertible Notes, as required per the terms of the Convertible Notes indenture, to which each holder of the Convertible Notes had the right to (i) require the Company to repurchase its Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest or (ii) convert its Convertible Notes, at a specified conversion rate into HomeAway common stock (which, following consummation of the HomeAway acquisition, represented the right to receive the transaction consideration) or (iii) allow the Convertible Notes to remain outstanding for the remaining term. As a result, the majority of the Convertible Notes, or $401 million, were repurchased during the first nine months of 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Convertible Notes outstanding were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and as of September 30, 2016, less than $1 million was included in other long-term liabilities.

Note 7 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

We have noncontrolling interests in majority owned entities, which are carried at fair value as the noncontrolling interests contain certain rights, whereby we may acquire and the minority shareholders may sell to us additional shares of the companies.

A reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest is as follows, in thousands:



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2016
Balance, beginning of the period	$	658,478
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests	(26,069		)
Fair value adjustments	937,618
Currency translation adjustments	28,680
Other	(19,743		)
Balance, end of period	$	1,578,964

The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was determined based on a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and market value approach (“Level 3” on the fair value hierarchy). Our significant estimates in the discounted cash flow model include our weighted average cost of capital as well as long-term growth and profitability of the business. Our significant estimates in the market value approach include identifying similar companies with comparable business factors and assessing comparable revenue and operating multiples in estimating the fair value of the business.

In connection with the acquisition of our majority ownership interest in trivago in 2013, we entered into a shareholders agreement with trivago’s founders that contains certain put/call rights whereby we may cause the founders to sell to us, and the founders may cause us to acquire from them, up to 50% and 100% of the trivago shares held by them at fair value during two windows. The first window would have closed during the first half of 2016. However, during the second quarter of 2016, we and the founders agreed not to exercise our respective put/call rights during that window and instead to postpone the window while the parties explore the feasibility of an initial public offering of trivago shares. Under the parties’ agreement, the first window will reopen on March 31, 2017 or early if the parties abandon an initial public offering before then. We do not presently anticipate that we would sell any of our trivago shares in any such initial public offering, should it occur, and there are no guarantees an initial public offering will be pursued or be successful. The redeemable noncontrolling interest balance also includes a nominal amount of vested stock options held by other employees of trivago which are puttable and callable to Expedia at fair value in 2018 and 2020 and are not expected to be redeemed for more than fair market value.

In addition to the redeemable noncontrolling interests, there were certain shares held by trivago employees which were originally awarded in the form of stock options pursuant to the trivago employee stock option plan and subsequently exercised by such employees. During the second quarter of 2016, we exercised our call right on these shares and elected to do so at a premium to fair value, which resulted in an incremental stock-based compensation charge of approximately $49 million in the second quarter of 2016 pursuant to liability award treatment. The acquisition of these employee minority interests increased Expedia’s ordinary ownership of trivago by a nominal amount.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

Our redeemable noncontrolling interest balance related to trivago was $1.6 billion and $654 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, which represents our best estimate of fair value.

Future declarations of dividends are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors.

Share Repurchases

In April 2012, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, authorized a repurchase of up to 20 million outstanding shares of our common stock. In February 2015, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Board of Directors, authorized an additional repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our common stock. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchases. During the nine months ended 2016, we repurchased, through open market transactions, 3.2 million shares under this authorization for the total cost of $349 million, excluding transaction costs, representing an average repurchase price of $107.55 per share. As of September 30, 2016, 8.0 million shares remain authorized for repurchase under the 2015 authorization.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The balance for each class of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, include foreign currency transaction losses at September 30, 2016 of $13 million ($21 million before tax) and December 31, 2015 of $1 million ($2 million before tax) associated with our 2.5% Notes. The 2.5% Notes are Euro-denominated debt designated as hedges of certain of our Euro-denominated net assets. See Note 6 – Debt for more information. The remaining balance in currency translation adjustments excludes income taxes as a result of our current intention to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of our international subsidiaries outside of the United States.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when we recognize a net loss, we exclude the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately 9 million of outstanding stock awards have been excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately 7 million of outstanding stock awards were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Note 10 – Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges

In connection with the migration of technology platforms and centralization of technology, supply and other operations, primarily related to previously disclosed acquisitions, we recognized $46 million and $82 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Based on current plans, which are subject to change, we expect total 2016 charges of $50 million to $55 million, but these could be higher should we make additional decisions in the fourth quarter and estimates do not include any possible future acquisition integrations.

The following table summarizes the restructuring and related reorganization activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:



	Employee Severance and Benefits			Stock-based Compensation			Other			Total

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of controlling interest of AAE Travel Pte. Ltd., the joint venture formed between Expedia and AirAsia Berhad in 2011, we remeasured our previously held equity interest to fair value, and recognized a gain of $77 million in other, net during the period.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

We determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We record any changes affecting the estimated annual tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items. Our effective rate was 17.9% and 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and (9.2)% and 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is a tax benefit measured against book income due to discrete income tax items including the release of a valuation allowance for net operating losses in the first quarter of 2016, as well as recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments resulting from the adoption of new accounting guidance for share-based payments as of January 1, 2016. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily related to the sale of eLong.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

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

Litigation Relating to Occupancy Taxes. Ninety-five lawsuits have been filed by or against cities, counties and states involving hotel occupancy and other taxes. Twenty-three lawsuits are currently active. These lawsuits are in various stages and we continue to defend against the claims made in them vigorously. With respect to the principal claims in these matters, we believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue do not apply to the services we provide and, therefore, that we do not owe the taxes that are claimed to be owed. We believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue generally impose occupancy and other taxes on entities that own, operate or control hotels (or similar businesses) or furnish or provide hotel rooms or similar accommodations. To date, forty of these lawsuits have been dismissed. Some of these dismissals have been without prejudice and, generally, allow the governmental entity or entities to seek administrative remedies prior to pursuing further litigation. Twenty-six dismissals were based on a finding that we and the other defendants were not subject to the local hotel occupancy tax ordinance or that the local government lacked standing to pursue their claims. As a result of this litigation and other attempts by certain jurisdictions to levy such taxes, we have established a reserve for the potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy taxes, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of all current facts and circumstances, in the amount of $68 million and $43 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. It is also reasonably possible that amounts paid in connection with these issues could include up to an additional $5 million related to interest payments in one jurisdiction. Our settlement reserve is based on our best estimate of probable losses and the ultimate resolution of these contingencies may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. An estimate for a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amount reserved cannot be made. Changes to the settlement reserve are included within legal reserves, occupancy tax and other in the consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

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

We are also in various stages of inquiry or audit in multiple European Union jurisdictions, including in the United Kingdom, regarding the application of VAT to our European Union related transactions. While we believe we comply with applicable VAT laws, rules and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions, the tax authorities may determine that we owe additional taxes. In certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, we may be required to “pay-to-play” any VAT assessment prior to contesting its validity. While we believe that we will be successful based on the merits of our positions with regard to the United Kingdom and other VAT audits in pay-to-play jurisdictions, it is nevertheless reasonably possible that we could be required to pay any assessed amounts in order to contest or litigate the applicability of any assessments and an estimate for a reasonably possible amount of any such payments cannot be made.

The following are significant “pay-to-play” payments made by Expedia companies:

Hawaii (General Excise Tax). During 2013, the Expedia companies were required to “pay-to-play” and paid a total of $171 million in advance of litigation relating to general excise taxes for merchant model hotel reservations in the State of Hawaii. In September 2015, following a ruling by the Hawaii Supreme Court, the State of Hawaii refunded the Expedia companies $132 million of the original “pay-to-play” amount. As we had previously expensed the pay-to-play payments in prior periods, we recognized a gain in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other during the third quarter of 2015 related to this matter. Orbitz also received a similar refund of $22 million from the State of Hawaii in September 2015. The amount paid, net of refunds, by the Expedia companies and Orbitz to the State of Hawaii in satisfaction of past general excise taxes on their services for merchant model hotel reservations was $44 million. The parties recently reached a settlement relating to Orbitz merchant model hotel tax liabilities, and on October 5, 2016, the Expedia companies paid the State of Hawaii for the tax years 2012 through 2015. The Expedia companies and Orbitz have now resolved all assessments by the State of Hawaii for merchant model hotel taxes through 2015.

In addition, final assessments by the Hawaii Department of Taxation for general exercise taxes against the Expedia companies, including Orbitz, relating to car rental transactions during the years 2000 to 2014 are currently under review in the Hawaii tax courts. With respect to merchant model car rental transactions at issue for the tax years 2000 through 2013, the Hawaii tax court held on August 5, 2016 that taxes are due on the online travel companies’ services to facilitate car rentals. The court further ruled that for merchant model car rentals in Hawaii, the online travel companies are required to pay general excise tax on the total amount paid by consumers, with no credit for tax amounts already remitted by car rental companies to the State of Hawaii for tax years 2000 through 2013, thus resulting in a double tax on the amount paid by consumers to car rental companies for the rental of the vehicle. The court, however, ruled that when car rentals are paid for as part of a vacation package, tax is only due once on the amount paid by consumers to the car rental company for the rental of the vehicle. In addition, the court ruled that the online travel companies are required to pay interest and certain penalties on the amounts due. The case is proceeding in the tax court for a calculation of amounts due. Upon completion of the tax court proceeding, the Expedia companies intend to appeal, and will be required to pay the full amount claimed due as a condition of appeal. The Hawaii tax court’s decision did not address final assessments for agency model car rental transactions for the time period 2000 to 2014 or “merchant model” car rental transactions for the tax year 2014, which also remain under review.

San Francisco (Occupancy Tax). During 2009, Expedia companies were required to “pay-to-play” and paid $48 million in advance of litigation relating to occupancy tax proceedings with the city of San Francisco and in May 2014, the Expedia companies paid an additional $25.5 million under protest in order to contest additional assessments for later time periods. In addition, Orbitz in total has paid $4.6 million to the city of San Francisco to contest similar assessments issued against it by the city. On August 6, 2014, the California Court of Appeals stayed this case pending review and decision by the California Supreme Court of the City of San Diego, California Litigation.

Matters Relating to Hotel Booking Practices. The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Repression of Fraud (the “DGCCRF”), a directorate of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance with authority over unfair trading practices, brought a lawsuit in France against Expedia entities objecting to certain parity clauses in contracts between Expedia entities and French hotels. In May 2015, the French court ruled that certain of the parity provisions in certain contracts that were the subject of the lawsuit were not in compliance with French commercial law, but imposed no fine and no injunction. The DGCCRF has appealed the decision.

More recently, Hotelverband Deutschland (IHA) e.V. (a German hotel association) brought proceedings before the Cologne regional court against Expedia, Inc., Expedia.com GmbH and Expedia Lodging Partner Services Sàrl. IHA has applied for a ‘cease and desist’ order against these companies in relation to the enforcement of certain rate and availability parity clauses contained in contracts with hotels in Germany.

In addition, a Brazilian hotel sector association - Forum de Operadores Hoteleiros do Brasil - filed a complaint with the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defence (CADE) against a number of online travel companies, including Booking.com, Decolar.com and Expedia, on August 3, 2016 with respect to parity provisions in contracts between hotels and online travel companies. On September 16, 2016, Expedia submitted its statement with CADE concerning the complaint.

A number of competition authorities, such as those in Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland, have also inquired or initiated investigations into the travel industry and, in particular, in relation to parity provisions in contracts between hotels and online travel companies, including Expedia.

While the ultimate outcomes of these lawsuits, inquiries or investigations are uncertain and our circumstances are distinguishable from those of other online travel agencies subject to similar lawsuits, inquiries or investigations, we note in this context that on April 21, 2015 the competition authorities in France, Italy and Sweden announced a proposed set of commitments offered by Booking.com to resolve the parity clause cases brought by these authorities against it. The German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") also has required another online travel company, Hotel Reservation Service ("HRS"), to remove certain clauses from its contracts with hotels. HRS appealed this decision, which the Higher Regional Court Düsseldorf rejected on January 9, 2015. On December 23, 2015, the FCO announced that it had also required Booking.com to remove certain clauses from its contracts with German hotels. Booking.com announced that it will appeal this decision. In addition, with effect from August 1, 2015, Expedia waived certain rate, conditions and availability parity clauses in its agreements with its European hotel partners for a period of five years. While Expedia maintains that its parity clauses have always been lawful and in compliance with competition law, Expedia considers that this waiver is a positive step towards facilitating the closure of the open investigations into such clauses on a harmonized pan-European basis.

Following the implementation of Expedia's waivers, the Austrian competition authority announced its intention to close its investigation against Expedia, and the competition authorities in Denmark, United Kingdom, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Ireland and Italy have announced either the closure of their investigation against Expedia or a decision not to open an investigation against Expedia, in each case having had regard to the changes implemented by Expedia. The Italian competition authority's decision has subsequently been appealed by two Italian hotel trade associations. On November 6, 2015, the Swiss competition authority announced that it had issued a final decision finding certain parity terms existing in previous versions of agreements between Swiss hotels and each of Expedia, Booking.com and HRS to be prohibited under Swiss law. The decision explicitly notes that Expedia's current contract terms with Swiss hotels are not subject to this prohibition. The Swiss competition authority imposed no fines or other sanctions against Expedia and did not find an abuse of a dominant market position by Expedia. In addition, with effect from September 1, 2016, similar waivers to those provided by Expedia in Europe have been extended to Expedia’s agreements with its Australian hotel partners. This was done in consultation with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which has accordingly closed its investigation into the matter without taking any action.

On July 9, 2015, the French National Assembly adopted Article 133 of the Loi Macron ("Article 133") that seeks to define the nature of the relationship between online reservation platforms and French hotels. Article 133 became effective on August 8, 2015. Expedia considers that Article 133 was drafted ambiguously and can be interpreted in a way that violates both EU and French legal principles. Therefore Expedia has initiated a complaint with the European Commission relating to Article 133. However, following the effective date, Expedia has been in contact with its hotel partners in France regarding the impact of Article 133.

Note 14 – Related Party Transactions

Mr. Diller is the Chairman and Senior Executive of Expedia. Subject to the terms of an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement between Liberty Interactive Corporation (“Liberty Interactive”) and Mr. Diller (the “Stockholders Agreement”), Mr. Diller also holds an irrevocable proxy to vote shares of Expedia common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Liberty Interactive (the “Diller Proxy”). By virtue of the Diller Proxy, as well as through shares owned by Mr. Diller directly, Mr. Diller is effectively able to control the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote or for the consent of Expedia’s stockholders (other than with respect to the election by the holders of Expedia common stock of 25% of the members of Expedia’s Board of Directors and matters as to which Delaware law requires a separate class vote).

During the fall of 2015, Liberty Interactive announced its plan to spin-off to certain of its stockholders all of the shares of Liberty Interactive’s wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (“Liberty Expedia Holdings”), whose assets at the time of the spin-off would include all of Liberty Interactive’s interest in Expedia. On March 24, 2016, Mr. Diller entered into a Transaction Agreement with Liberty Interactive, Liberty Expedia Holdings, John C. Malone and Leslie Malone, which the parties amended and restated effective as of September 22, 2016 (the “Transaction Agreement”) to reflect, among other things, that the separation of Liberty Expedia Holdings would be effected by way of a redemption of outstanding shares of

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

capital stock of Liberty Interactive (the “Liberty Split-Off”). The parties agreed in the Transaction Agreement, among other things, that at the time of the Liberty Split-Off and subject to its completion, for a period of up to eighteen months (i) Mr. Diller will assign the Diller Proxy to Liberty Expedia Holdings and (ii) Mr. and Mrs. Malone will grant Mr. Diller an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings Series A common stock and Series B common stock beneficially owned by them upon completion of the Liberty Split-Off or thereafter (the “Malone Proxy”), in each case, subject to certain limitations. As a result, if the Liberty Split-Off is completed and these proxy arrangements become effective, during the period the proxy arrangements are in effect, by virtue of the voting power associated with the Malone Proxy, the governance structure at Liberty Expedia Holdings and Mr. Diller’s continuing position as Chairman of Expedia’s Board of Directors, Mr. Diller will indirectly continue to control Expedia until the termination or expiration of the proxy arrangements, at which point (and by virtue of the termination of his assignment of the Diller Proxy), unless the proxy arrangements terminated as a result of Mr. Diller’s death or disability, Mr. Diller will again have the power to vote directly all shares of Expedia Common Stock and Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Liberty Expedia Holdings.

In connection with the Liberty Split-Off, on March 24, 2016, Liberty Interactive and Liberty Expedia Holdings entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with Expedia pursuant to which Liberty Interactive and Liberty Expedia Holdings agreed to reimburse Expedia for certain costs and expenses resulting from the Liberty Split-Off and the above-described proxy arrangements that may be incurred by Expedia with respect to Expedia’s $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and Expedia’s senior unsecured notes maturing in 2018 and in 2020 (as amended and restated as of September 22, 2016, the “Reimbursement Agreement”). The reimbursement obligations of Liberty Interactive and Liberty Expedia Holdings are capped at $45 million, subject to certain limited exceptions, and conditioned on Expedia acting in all material respects consistent with our existing financial policies, which were previously provided to Liberty Interactive. Prior to the completion of the Liberty Split-Off, the Reimbursement Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Following the completion of the Liberty Split-Off, the Reimbursement Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of:


•	Mr. Diller’s death, disability or in the event Mr. Diller ceases to be chairman of Expedia,


•	failure of certain reimbursement triggers to occur prior to the sixtieth day following the completion of the Liberty Split-Off (as such period may be extended in certain limited circumstances), and


•	the date as of which Liberty Expedia Holdings and Liberty Interactive have paid all amounts due to Expedia pursuant to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement.

The Reimbursement Agreement constitutes Expedia’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any claim arising out of any potential change of control under any contract, debt instrument, agreement or other similar instrument resulting, directly or indirectly, from the Liberty Split-Off or the proxy arrangements.

On September 30, 2016, Expedia received consents from the holders of more than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of its 5.95% Notes and entered into a supplemental indenture to amend the indenture governing its 5.95% Notes to conform the definition of “Permitted Holders” to the definition employed in Expedia’s 2.5% Notes, 4.5% Notes and 5.0% Notes, including by specifying that “Permitted Holders” include certain entities succeeding to the interest of Liberty Interactive in Expedia. Liberty Interactive reimbursed Expedia approximately $4 million for the cost of the consent solicitation pursuant to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement.

Note 15 – Segment Information

We have four reportable segments: Core Online Travel Companies (“Core OTA”), trivago, Egencia and HomeAway. In addition, eLong was a reportable segment through its disposal on May 22, 2015. Our Core OTA segment, which consists of the aggregation of operating segments, provides a full range of travel and advertising services to our worldwide customers through a variety of brands including: Expedia.com and Hotels.com in the United States and localized Expedia and Hotels.com websites throughout the world, Orbitz.com, Expedia Affiliate Network, Hotwire.com, Travelocity, Venere, Wotif Group, CarRentals.com, and Classic Vacations. Our trivago segment generates advertising revenue primarily from sending referrals to online travel companies and travel service providers from its hotel metasearch websites. Our Egencia segment, which also includes Orbitz for Business, provides managed travel services to corporate customers worldwide. Our HomeAway segment, created by our acquisition of HomeAway on December 15, 2015, operates an online marketplace for the vacation rental industry.

We determined our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision makers manage our business, make operating decisions and evaluate operating performance. Our primary operating metric is adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for our Core OTA and Egencia segments includes allocations of certain expenses, primarily cost of revenue and facilities, and our Core OTA segment includes the total costs of our global supply organizations as well as the realized foreign currency gains or losses related to the forward contracts hedging a component of our net merchant hotel revenue. We base the allocations

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics. We do not allocate certain shared expenses such as accounting, human resources, information technology and legal to our reportable segments. We include these expenses in Corporate and Eliminations. Our allocation methodology is periodically evaluated and may change.

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

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

The following tables present our segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. As a significant portion of our property and equipment is not allocated to our operating segments and depreciation is not included in our segment measure, we do not report the assets by segment as it would not be meaningful. We do not regularly provide such information to our chief operating decision makers.
