Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- We aim to provide consumers with a best-in-class experience with tailored planning, payment, language, and other options, seamlessly connecting them with our travel service provider partners.
- We focus on relentless innovation to grow our business by providing a best-in-class user experience with intuitive, easy-to-use platforms that aim to exceed the expectations of consumers.
- While we believe these efforts will help improve traveler loyalty, frequency, and mix of direct bookings over time, which will benefit revenue growth and marketing efficiency in the future, the expansion of our Connected Trip vision involves a higher proportion of non-accommodation services which have lower margins than our accommodation services.
- We believe that expanding these types of service offerings will benefit consumers and travel service providers, as well as our gross bookings, room night, and earnings growth rates.
- When evaluating performance marketing spend, we typically consider several factors for each channel, such as the customer experience on the advertising platform, the incremental bookings we receive, and anticipated repeat rates.
- While we seek to adapt to evolving search engine dynamics, we expect SEO traffic to decline in the short to medium term, which may lead to increased spend in paid marketing channels.
- Over the long term, we intend to continue to invest in marketing and promotion, technology, and personnel, as well as exploring strategic alternatives such as acquisitions, within parameters consistent with efforts to improve long-term operating results.
- To create room for these investments, we intend to continue to look for ways to optimize our expenses.
- updated · In the second quarter of 2026, as we continued to execute on the Transformation Program, we identified additional opportunities, and increased our expected annual run-rate savings to approximately $650 million.
- We expect the majority of the incremental savings above the approximately $550 million annual run-rate level enabled as of the end of 2025 to be realized in 2027.
- We expect that the restructuring costs and accelerated investments related to the Transformation Program will largely be incurred by the end of 2027 and are estimated to be, in the aggregate, less than one times the expected annual run-rate savings.
- new · The estimation of the recoverable values of asset groups and the fair values of our reporting units reflects numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including key assumptions regarding each reporting unit's expected growth rates and operating margin and with respect to matters outside of our control, such as discount rates and market comparables.
