Appendix

Non-GAAP definitions
Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong). Expedia sold its ownership interest in eLong, Inc. on May 22, 2015. In order to allow comparison with prior periods for the ongoing
Expedia businesses, Expedia, Inc. (excluding eLong) gross bookings, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and net income
(loss) attributable to the Company, each exclude the impact of eLong. Other figures in the deck exclude eLong, other than where noted.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Expedia, Inc. adjusted for: (1) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests; (2) provision for
income taxes; (3) total other expenses, net; (4) stock-based compensation expense, including compensation expense related to certain subsidiary equity plans;
(5) acquisition-related impacts, including (i) amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairment, (ii) gains (losses) recognized on changes in the
value of contingent consideration arrangements; and (iii) upfront consideration paid to settle employee compensation plans of the acquiree; (6) certain other items,
including restructuring; (7) items included in legal reserves, occupancy tax and other, which includes reserves for potential settlement of issues related to transactional
taxes (e.g. hotel and excise taxes), related to 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 transactional tax proceedings; (8) that portion of gains (losses) on revenue hedging activities that are included in other, net that relate to revenue
recognized in the period; and (9) depreciation.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash 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.
The definition for Adjusted EBITDA was revised in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because
it represents the operating cash flow that our operating businesses generate, less capital expenditures but before taking into account other cash movements that are not
directly tied to the core operations of our businesses, such as financing activities, foreign exchange or certain investing activities. We added additional detail for the capital
expenditures associated with building our new headquarters facility in Seattle, Washington. We believe separating out capital expenditures for this discrete project is
important to provide additional transparency to investors related to operating versus project-related capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it
does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore,
it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with the consolidated statements of cash flows.
