Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed August 8, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Expedia Group, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter and the first half of 2025.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue increased by 6% to $3.79 billiona compared to the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a 15% increase in B2B segment revenue, while the B2C segment saw a more modest 2% increase. Advertising and media revenue also showed strong growth.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total revenue grew 5% to $6.77 billionb, with the B2B segment again being the key driver of growth. Net income attributable to Expedia Group, Inc. for the second quarter was $330 million, a decrease from $386 million in the prior year, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $2.48, down from $2.80. For the first half of 2025, net income was $130 million, significantly lower than $251 million in the prior year, with diluted EPS at $0.96 compared to $1.79.
The decline in profitability appears to be influenced by increased restructuring charges, higher selling and marketing expenses, and a significant unrealized loss on minority equity investments impacting "Other, net" for the six-month period. Despite the decrease in net income, the company's cash flow from operations remained robust, and the company has actively managed its debt and returned capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What drove the year-over-year decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2025?
The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a combination of factors including increased selling and marketing expenses, higher restructuring and related reorganization charges, and a significant negative impact from "Other, net," which included substantial unrealized losses on minority equity investments. While revenue grew, these increased costs and non-operating losses outweighed the top-line gains.
How is the B2B segment performing relative to the B2C segment?
The B2B segment is significantly outperforming the B2C segment. For the second quarter and the first half of 2025, B2B revenue grew by 15%, driven by increased lodging revenue and strong international exposure. In contrast, the B2C segment experienced more modest revenue growth of 2% for the quarter and was flat for the first half, indicating a continued strategic advantage and growth trajectory for the B2B business.
What is the company's capital allocation strategy regarding debt, dividends, and share buybacks?
Expedia Group is actively managing its capital structure. In February 2025, they redeemed $1 billion in senior notes and issued $1 billion in new notes at a lower interest rate. The company also reinstated its quarterly dividend in Q1 2025, paying out $102 million in the first half of the year. Furthermore, they continued significant share repurchases, spending $957 million in the first half of 2025 under their $5 billion program, with $2.3 billion remaining authorized, indicating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
Are there any significant market risks or legal contingencies that investors should be aware of?
The company continues to face global macroeconomic pressures and potential geopolitical issues that could impact travel demand. Additionally, there are ongoing inquiries and audits with various tax authorities, including significant past adjustments related to transfer pricing. While the company believes it does not owe the taxes claimed in certain occupancy tax lawsuits, and has established reserves, there is inherent uncertainty in litigation. An Italian VAT settlement of $71 million was paid in 2024, and an additional $33 million was paid in July 2025. These matters, particularly any 'pay-to-play' requirements, could impact liquidity if adverse outcomes occur, although management does not currently expect them to have a material adverse effect on financial results.
