Exhibit 99.1

Safe Harbor
                                                     
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are
based on management’s expectations as of June 25, 2012 and assumptions which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and
changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The use of words such as "intends" and “expects,” among others, generally
identify forward-looking statements. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition,
any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-
looking statements and may include statements relating to future revenues, expenses, margins, profitability, net income / (loss),
earnings per share and other measures of results of operations and the prospects for future growth of Expedia, Inc.’s business. Actual
results and the timing and outcome of events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements
for a variety of reasons, including, among others: competitive risks; declines or disruptions in the travel industry; changes in our
relationships and contractual agreements with travel suppliers or travel distribution partners; increases in the costs of maintaining and
enhancing our brand awareness; changes in search engine algorithms and dynamics; our inability to adapt to technological
developments or to maintain our existing technologies; our ability to expand successfully in international markets; changes in senior
management; volatility in our stock price; changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties relating to our business;
unfavorable new, or adverse application of or failure to comply with existing, laws, rules or regulations; adverse outcomes in legal
proceedings to which we are party; provisions in certain credit card processing agreements that could adversely impact our liquidity
and financial positions; fluctuations in our effective tax rate; liquidity constraints or our inability to access the capital markets when
necessary; risks related to our long term indebtedness; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; risks related to the failure of
counterparties to perform on financial obligations; potential liabilities resulting from our processing, storage, use and disclosure of
personal data; the integration of current and acquired businesses; the risk that our intellectual property is not protected from copying
or use by others, including competitors; risks related to interruption or lack of redundancy in our information systems; and other risks
detailed in our public filings with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Except as
required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking or other statements in this presentation, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

related to certain subsidiary equity plans; (2) acquisition-related impacts, including (i) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill
and intangible asset impairment, and (ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the value of contingent consideration arrangements;
(3) certain infrequently occurring items, including restructuring; (4) items included in Legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which
includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy taxes, related court decisions and final settlements,
and charges incurred, if any, for monies that may be required to be paid in advance of litigation in certain occupancy tax
proceedings; (5) gains (losses) realized on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net; and (6) depreciation. 
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are noncash in nature, or because the
amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core operating results and renders comparisons with prior periods
and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analysts and investors to evaluate our future on-
going performance as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison of our performance and projected cash earnings with our
historical results from prior periods and to the results of our competitors. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to
evaluate the performance of our business as a whole and our individual business segments. In addition, we believe that by excluding
certain items, such as stock-based compensation and acquisition-related impacts, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the
cash operating income generated from our business and allows investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting
the ongoing cash earnings capabilities of our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.
Adjusted
from options and warrants per the treasury stock method and include all shares relating to RSUs in shares outstanding for Adjusted EPS.
This differs from the GAAP method for including RSUs, which treats them on a treasury method basis. Shares outstanding for Adjusted
EPS purposes are therefore higher than shares outstanding for GAAP EPS purposes. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to investors
because it represents, on a per share basis, Expedia’s consolidated results, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an
ongoing cost of doing business, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense,
taxes, foreign exchange gains or losses, and minority interest, but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the
core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS have similar limitations as Adjusted EBITDA. In addition,
Adjusted Net Income does not include all items that affect our net income / (loss) and net income / (loss) per share for the period.
Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated statements of operations.
