Summary
This Form 8-K/A filing from Expedia, Inc. (now Expedia Group, Inc.) serves as an amendment to a previous filing dated February 9, 2017. The primary purpose of this amendment is to correct an error in the reported percentage impacts of acquisitions on certain non-GAAP expense category growth for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. The company emphasizes that this correction does not affect its reported GAAP financial statements, Gross Bookings, Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, or Adjusted Net Income. Investors should note that while the original earnings release contained a calculation error regarding how acquisitions influenced expense growth metrics, the underlying financial performance reported by Expedia remains unchanged. The corrected figures provide a more precise understanding of the inorganic contribution of acquisitions to expense categories like Cost of Revenue, Selling and Marketing, Technology and Content, and General and Administrative expenses. The company has provided revised percentages for these impacts.
