Item 1A. Risk Factors
60 rewritten, 29 added, 28 removed, 383 unchanged
[removed: If any of the following] [added: The] risks [removed: occur, our business and/or financial performance] [added: described below] could [removed: be] materially [added: and] adversely [removed: affected.][added: affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.]
Search engines may also continue to expand their voice and [removed: artificial intelligence ("AI")] [added: AI] capabilities.
To the extent that trivago’s ability to aggregate travel search results for a specific itinerary across supplier, travel agent and other websites is hampered, whether due to its affiliation with us or otherwise, or if OTA advertisers or suppliers choose to [removed: limit their participation in trivago’s metasearch marketplace, trivago’s business and therefore our results of operations could be adversely affected and the value of our investment in trivago could be negatively impacted.]
Increasing competition from current and emerging competitors, the introduction of new technologies and the continued expansion of existing technologies, such as [added: AI,] metasearch and other search engine technologies, may force us to make changes to our business models, which could affect our financial performance and liquidity.
[removed: Other factors] [added: Factors] beyond our control that could materially and adversely affect the travel industry in general and our business in particular include:
[removed: In addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential pandemic or health-related events, we] [added: We] have experienced, and may experience in the future, declines in seasonal liquidity and capital provided by our merchant hotel business, which has historically provided a meaningful portion of our operating cash flow and is dependent on several factors, including the rate of growth of our merchant hotel business and the relative growth of businesses which consume rather than [added: generate working capital, such as our agency hotel, and advertising businesses, and payment terms with suppliers.]
Due to uncertainty in the capital and credit markets, we cannot guarantee that sufficient financing will be available on [removed: desirable,] [added: desirable terms,] or any terms, to fund investments, acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividends, debt refinancing or other actions or that our counterparties in any such financings would honor their contractual commitments.
In addition, any downgrade of our debt ratings by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch or similar ratings agencies, deterioration of our financial condition, increase in general interest rate levels and credit spreads or overall [removed: weakening in the credit markets could increase our cost of capital (including, with respect to ratings downgrades, the interest rate applicable to certain of our outstanding senior notes).]
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we have outstanding long-term indebtedness, excluding current maturities, with a face value of $6.3 billion and we have an essentially untapped revolving credit facility of $2.5 billion.
| • | | | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds or to borrow funds at [removed: undesirable] [added: desirable] rates or terms we find acceptable. | | |
[added: Search engines] frequently update and change the logic that determines the placement and display of results of a user’s search, such that the placement or cost of links to our websites and those of our affiliates can be negatively affected.
Google has also increasingly added its own travel search functionality and content at the expense of traditional paid listings and organic search results, which may continue to [removed: reduce the amount of traffic to our websites or those of our affiliates.]
We expect that the cost of maintaining and enhancing our brands will continue to increase and [removed: given current economic uncertainty and unpredictability,] decisions we make on investing in brands could be less effective and costlier than expected.
Our efforts to preserve and enhance consumer awareness of our brands may not be successful, [removed: and,] [added: may have unintended negative impacts, or,] even if [removed: we are] successful [removed: in our branding efforts, such efforts] may not be cost-effective, or as efficient as they have been historically, resulting in less direct traffic and increased customer acquisition costs.
*Payments Regulations.* The [removed: processing and acceptance of] [added: end-to-end payments process—from accepting traveler payments through to paying suppliers—for] a variety of payment methods is subject to various laws, rules, regulations, legal interpretations, and regulatory guidance, including those governing cross-border and domestic money transmission and funds transfers; foreign exchange; payment services; and consumer protection.
If we [removed: were] [added: are] found to be in violation of applicable [added: payments] laws or regulations, we could be subject to [removed: additional requirements and] civil and criminal penalties, [added: additional restrictive and burdensome requirements,] or forced to cease [removed: providing] [added: or amend] certain [removed: services.][added: services we currently provide.]
Certain of our payment processors also have the right to pass any increases in interchange [added: fees and assessments on to us, which could significantly increase our costs and thereby adversely affect our financial performance.]
[added: Certain] international markets in which we operate have lower margins than more mature markets, which could have a negative impact on our overall margins if the proportion of our overall revenue from these markets grow over time.
In addition, the contributions of Barry Diller, our Chairman and Senior Executive, [removed: Peter Kern, our Vice Chairman] and [removed: current Chief Executive Officer, and] Ariane Gorin, [removed: who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Kern as] [added: our] Chief Executive [removed: Officer in May of 2024,] [added: Officer,] as well as other members of our travel leadership team are critical to the overall management of the Company.
[removed: Leadership transitions] [added: In recent years, we have experienced a number of leadership transitions, which] can be difficult to manage, and may cause disruption to our business due to, among other things, diverting management's attention away from the Company's financial and operational goals.
Expedia Group cannot ensure that it will be able to retain the services of Mr. Diller, [removed: Mr. Kern,] Ms. Gorin or any other member of our senior management or key employees, the loss of whom could seriously harm our business.
[removed: This creates risk] in a number of areas, including with respect to our bank deposits and investments, foreign exchange risk management, insurance coverages, letters of credit, and for certain of our transactions, the receipt and holding of traveler payments and subsequent remittance of a portion of those payments to travel suppliers.
As it relates to deposits, as of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we held cash in bank depository accounts of approximately [removed: $4.0] [added: $3.8] billion and money market funds [added: and term deposits] of approximately [removed: $168] [added: $192] million.
Additionally, majority-owned subsidiaries held cash of approximately [removed: $42] [added: $68] million and held term deposits of approximately [removed: $99] [added: $84] million.
As it relates to foreign exchange, as of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we were party to forward contracts with a notional value of approximately [removed: $3.7] [added: $3.9] billion, the fair value of which was a net liability of approximately [removed: $9] [added: $2] million.
We [added: therefore] face exposure to movements in currency exchange rates (particularly those related to the Euro, British pound, [removed: Canadian dollar,] [added: Japanese yen,] Australian dollar, Brazilian [removed: real,] [added: real] and [removed: Japanese Yen currencies) that revalue] [added: Canadian dollar currencies), which may negatively impact the value of] our cash flows, monetary assets and [removed: liabilities, and translate our foreign subsidiary financial results to U.S. dollars.][added: liabilities.]
Our alternative accommodations business is subject to [removed: legal and] regulatory [added: and legal] risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.
Our alternative accommodations business has been, and continues to be, subject to [added: risks relating to] regulatory developments that affect the alternative accommodation industry and the ability of companies like us to list those alternative accommodations online.
For example, certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions have adopted or are considering statutes or ordinances that [added: (i)] prohibit or limit the ability of property owners and managers to rent certain properties for fewer than [removed: 30] [added: thirty] consecutive days, [removed: including laws that] [added: (ii)] place [removed: many difficult] [added: onerous] obligations on property owners [removed: that must be complied with] [added: wishing] to offer their properties, [removed: or that] [added: (iii)] regulate platforms’ ability to list alternative accommodations, including prohibiting the listing of unlicensed [removed: properties.][added: properties, or (iv) limit the number of alternative accommodations permitted in a particular area, which may be more likely in areas experiencing housing shortages, in response to perceived safety concerns, or as a result of natural disasters such as wildfires.]
In addition, many of the laws that impose taxes or other obligations on travel and lodging companies were established before the growth of the internet and the alternative [added: accommodation industry, which creates a risk of those laws being interpreted in ways not originally intended that could burden property owners and managers or otherwise harm our business.]
Governments also are [removed: looking at] [added: considering] additional taxes specific to alternative accommodations that, if implemented, could make the business of operating an alternative accommodation less attractive or prohibitively expensive.
These new and evolving regulatory schemes may decrease listings available on our sites and add significant compliance risks to our business, including the risk of fines for noncompliance, as well as substantial internal costs and the allocation of [removed: resources to develop new internal compliance systems and processes.]
These [added: compliance] obligations include gathering information about property owners, verification of registration status of properties and the ongoing provision of information to [removed: governments about] [added: governments—both domestic and foreign—about] short-term rental owners and operators and requirements to withhold and report taxable income to [removed: governments.][added: such governments, which may deter property owners from renting their properties on an alternative accommodation platform.]
We may also remove properties from our websites if alternative accommodation owners or operators do not provide information we require to comply with applicable [removed: regulations.][added: regulations, or at the request of governments.]
We are not in a position to eliminate risks such as personal injury, property damage or other harm, at alternative accommodation properties [added: listed on our platform] and we generally do not verify [added: traveler identity or property] safety, such as fire code compliance or the presence of carbon monoxide detectors, which [removed: could result] [added: has resulted] in claims of liability based on events occurring at properties listed on our platforms.
A failure to comply with current laws, [removed: rules] [added: rules,] and regulations or changes to such laws, rules and regulations and other legal uncertainties may adversely affect our business, financial performance, results of operations or business growth.
These [added: and other] new laws and regulations [removed: may] [added: maybe costly and time consuming to implement, and] significantly impact the profitability or competitiveness of our business.
Also, compliance with the European Economic Community (“EEC”) Council Directive on Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours [removed: could be] [added: is] costly and complex and could adversely impact our ability to offer certain packages in the EEC.
We also have been subject, and we will likely be subject in the future, to inquiries or legal proceedings from time to time from regulatory bodies concerning compliance with economic sanctions, consumer protection, competition, tax, payments and travel industry-specific laws and regulations, including but not limited to investigations and legal proceedings relating to the travel industry and, in particular, parity provisions in contracts between hotels and online travel companies, including Expedia [removed: Group, and the presentation of information to consumers, as described in Part I.]
Application of existing tax laws, [removed: rules] [added: rules,] or regulations are subject to interpretation by taxing authorities.
We could also be affected by additional risks that apply to all companies operating in the U.S. and globally, as well as other risks that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial.
These Risk Factors should be carefully reviewed in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in [](#ifea5c6e53cd74958b7cd19a92a212671_46)[Item 7](#ifea5c6e53cd74958b7cd19a92a212671_46) and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in [Item 8](#ifea5c6e53cd74958b7cd19a92a212671_136) of this Report.
In addition, technological developments in generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools may be increasingly used to create competing offerings such as AI powered digital assistants, which may further increase competition.
In addition, our competitors are also increasingly expanding the range of travel services they offer, thereby further intensifying the competitive environment, with Airbnb looking to expand into tours, activities, hotel and flight bookings, and Booking.com expanding its flight booking services.

As it relates to investments, as of December 31, 2024, we held U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, corporate debt securities, term deposits, commercial paper, foreign debt instruments, and asset-backed securities, all investment grade, in short-term and long-term investments totaling $502 million.
We are a global company with transactions denominated in a variety of currencies and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar.
Other factors that may limit homeowners’ ability to rent their properties include condominium and neighborhood association rules that prohibit or restrict short-term rentals and challenges obtaining insurance and liability for personal injury.
resources to develop new internal compliance systems and processes.
Incidents involving the safety of guests, property owners, or other members of the public, or concerns about the security or quality of listings, could create a negative public perception of our platform, which would adversely impact our ability to attract hosts and guests.
Our global operations are subject to complex and changing laws and regulations.
Recent examples of new website display laws or regulations include, (i) in the United States, the Federal Trade Commission and the states of California and Minnesota introducing, and Congress and other states considering, laws or regulations that require us to include all fees in the prices displayed for accommodations on our websites, and (ii) in Europe, the EU Digital Services Act and Council Directive (known as DAC7) requires us to display a variety of supplier-related information, including local license numbers, tax identification numbers, business registration numbers, or statements regarding compliance with local laws.

You should carefully consider each of the following risks and uncertainties associated with our company and the ownership of our securities.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and/or financial performance.
Our OTA competitors are increasingly expanding the range of travel services they offer and the global OTA segment continues to consolidate, with certain competitors merging or forming strategic partnerships.
Furthermore, Airbnb has, and similar providers could, increasingly look to add other travel services, such as tours, activities, hotel and flight bookings, any of which could further extend their reach into the travel market as they seek to compete with the traditional OTAs.

For example, short-term rental regulations currently under consideration in the European Union could require us to provide data to all EU countries about short-term rentals listed on our sites.
In 2023, for example, the Federal Trade Commission proposed new rules and the State of California passed new laws, in each case focused on fees and related pricing display practices.
For example, on May 17, 2019, we entered into a settlement agreement with OFAC regarding 2,221 potentially non-compliant Cuba-related travel transactions that occurred between 2011-2014, which we voluntarily disclosed to OFAC in 2014.
In connection with the settlement agreement, we made significant enhancements to our economic sanctions' compliance program and associated controls.
OFAC agreed to release us, without any finding of fault, from all civil liability in connection with the potential violations.

Most recently, we have incorporated third-party AI technology in certain of our products, services and business operations.
Our research, development and deployment of AI technologies remains ongoing.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no officer or director of Expedia Group who is also an officer or director of IAC will be liable to Expedia Group or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any such individual directs a corporate opportunity to IAC instead of Expedia Group, or does not communicate information regarding a corporate opportunity to Expedia Group because the officer or director has directed the corporate opportunity to IAC.
This corporate opportunity provision may have the effect of exacerbating the risk of conflicts of interest between the companies because the provision effectively shields an overlapping director/executive officer from liability for breach of fiduciary duty in the event that such director or officer chooses to direct a corporate opportunity to IAC instead of Expedia Group.

This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses the years ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] items and year over year comparisons between [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Discussions of the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] items and the year over year comparisons between [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
[removed: In 2023, the overall reopening of the] Asia-Pacific region and general recovery outside of the United States was a factor in the gross bookings year-over-year growth rate for our B2B segment, but any other lingering impacts of the pandemic did not have a significant impact on our businesses, and we expect that to remain the case for future periods.
More recently, inflation and other macroeconomic pressures in the U.S. and the global economy, such as [removed: rising] interest rates, [added: and] currency fluctuations and energy price volatility, as well as evolving geopolitical conflicts, have contributed to an increasingly complex business environment.
Despite these factors, we have witnessed a healthy [removed: recovery of] [added: but more normalized] travel [removed: demand, which remains strong and is attributable to factors including pent-up] demand [removed: from the COVID-19 pandemic, and] [added: environment in 2024, as] consumers [removed: prioritizing] [added: continue to prioritize] spend on travel and experiences over other discretionary spending.
Other competitors have arisen, including vacation rental property managers, who operate their own booking sites in addition to listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, and [removed: Booking.com, and are expected to continue to grow as a percentage of the global accommodations market.][added: Booking.com.]
As a percentage of our total worldwide revenue in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] lodging accounted for 80%.
Room nights booked grew [removed: 12%] [added: 9%] in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] as compared to a growth of [removed: 26%] [added: 12%] in [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 71%] [added: 26%] in [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
ADRs for rooms booked for Expedia Group increased [removed: 28% in 2021, increased] 3% in [removed: 2022 and] [added: 2022,] decreased 2% in [removed: 2023.][added: 2023 and decreased 1% in 2024.]
[removed: Over the last couple of years,] [added: While trends are normalizing,] our lodging business [removed: saw] [added: has seen] a significant increase in ADRs compared to pre-pandemic levels, which were driven by broader industry trends, a mix shift to Vrbo and high ADR geographies.
[removed: It also] [added: Vrbo primarily offers a pay-per-booking service model and] generates revenue from a traveler service fee for bookings, as well as insurance products.
[removed: Despite] [added: For] the [removed: return of capacity in 2023,] [added: full year 2024,] U.S. domestic airfares [removed: remained roughly flat] [added: were up approximately 1%] year-over-year and up approximately [removed: 10%] [added: 11%] compared to 2019 levels, according to Airlines Report Corporation ("ARC") data.
Our air bookings [removed: improved] [added: grew] in [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] compared to [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023] but continued to lag the growth in our lodging business.
In the future, we could encounter pressure on air remuneration as air carriers combine, [added: more air carriers shift to our "direct connect" technology,] certain supply agreements renew, and as we continue to add airlines to ensure local coverage in new markets.
Booked air tickets increased [removed: 4%] [added: 6%] in [removed: 2023, 8%] [added: 2024, 4%] in [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] and [removed: 43%] [added: 8%] in [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
As a percentage of our total worldwide revenue in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] air accounted for 3%.
In [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we generated [removed: $821] [added: $954] million of advertising and media revenue, a [removed: 6%] [added: 16%] increase from [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] representing [removed: 6%] [added: 7%] of our total worldwide revenue.
In 2023, the company [removed: adopted] [added: adapted] its marketing strategy and launched a new logo and visual identity, part of a push to rejuvenate its [added: brand, demonstrate the relevance of its offerings and drive long-term growth.]
The seasonal revenue impact is exacerbated with respect to income by the nature of our variable cost of revenue and direct sales and marketing costs, which we typically realize in closer alignment to [removed: booking volumes, and the more stable nature of our fixed costs.]
One Key allows members to earn OneKeyCash, the currency of the One Key program, on eligible hotels, alternative accommodations, activities, packages car rentals, [removed: fights] [added: flights] and cruises made on the U.S. [added: and U.K.] points of sale on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo.
Hotels.com Rewards continues to be offered outside of the United States and [added: United Kingdom and] offers travelers one free night at any Hotels.com partner property after that traveler stays 10 nights, subject to certain restrictions.
Expedia Rewards also continues to be offered outside of the United States and [added: United Kingdom and] enables participating travelers to earn points on all hotel, flight, package and activities made on various international Brand Expedia websites.
In order to estimate the standalone selling price of the underlying services on which awards can be redeemed for all loyalty programs, we use an adjusted market assessment approach [added: and consider the redemption values expected from the traveler.]
During the third quarter of 2023, as a result of trivago’s recent strategic shift which included intensifying its brand marketing investments with an anticipated decrease in profitability, we concluded that sufficient [removed: indicators existed to require us to perform an interim impairment assessment.]
In addition to the trivago goodwill impairment charge mentioned above, as a result of the assessment during the third quarter of [removed: 2023,] [added: 2023 as well as additional assessment during the third quarter of 2024,] we recognized a $15 million [added: and $33 million] impairment [removed: charge] [added: charges] related to [added: trivago's] indefinite-lived trade name.
During the fourth [removed: quarter] [added: quarters] of [removed: 2023,] [added: 2023 and 2024,] we also recognized intangible impairment charges of $114 million [added: for both periods] related to indefinite-lived trade names within our B2C segment.
If the recoverability test indicates that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable, we will estimate the fair value of the asset group using appropriate valuation [added: methodologies, which would typically include an estimate of discounted cash flows.]
For additional information on our goodwill and intangible asset impairments recorded in [removed: 2023, 2022] [added: 2024, 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] see NOTE 3 — Fair Value Measurements in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our estimation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the [added: financial statement] carrying amounts [added: and the tax bases] of assets and [removed: liabilities for book and tax purposes.][added: liabilities.]
[removed: Accordingly, we determine the deferred] [added: Deferred] tax [removed: asset or liability] [added: assets and liabilities] for each temporary difference [added: are recorded] based on the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when we realize the underlying items of income and expense.
We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including [removed: our] recent earnings [removed: experience] by jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, [removed: and] the [removed: carryforward periods available to us for] tax [removed: reporting purposes,] [added: attribute carryforward periods,] as well as other relevant factors.
We may [removed: establish] [added: record] a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.
Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature of our businesses, future changes in income tax law, tax sharing agreements or variances between our actual and anticipated operating results, we [added: must] make certain judgments and estimates.
If the tax position meets the more likely than not criteria, the [removed: portion of the] tax benefit greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority is recognized in the financial statements.
[added: A] variety of factors could affect the amount of the liability (both past and future), which factors include, but are not limited to, the number of, and amount of revenue represented by, jurisdictions that ultimately assert a claim and prevail in assessing such additional tax or negotiate a settlement and changes in relevant statutes.
[removed: We will continue to monitor] the issue closely and provide additional disclosure, as well as adjust the level of reserves, as developments warrant.
We are currently involved in [removed: seven] [added: two] lawsuits brought by or against states, cities and counties over issues involving the payment of hotel occupancy and other taxes.
We have established a reserve for the potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy and other tax litigation, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of all current facts and circumstances, in the amount of [removed: $46] [added: $3] million as of December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: $44] [added: $46] million as of December 31, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]

These charges were partially offset by net reductions to our reserve of $43 million related to hotel occupancy and other taxes due to the favorable resolution of two tax related cases.
In February 2024, we committed to restructuring actions to recalibrate resources as most of the Company’s organizational and technological transformation is now completed, which have resulted in headcount reductions.
As a result, we recognized $80 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during 2024, which were predominately related to employee severance, stock-based compensation and benefits costs.
Based on current plans which are subject to change, we expect reorganization charges could continue under our previously announced $80 million to $100 million plan into 2025.
These costs could be higher or lower should we make additional decisions in future periods that impact our reorganization efforts.

Interest expense remained consistent in 2024 compared to 2023.
In 2022, we began evolving our strategy from being largely transactionally focused, where we were primarily focused on acquiring customers through performance channels, to building a direct relationship with our customers by allocating more marketing spend towards our loyalty programs, paid app downloads, and brand awareness.
While we maintain a large portfolio of consumer brands, we put the majority of our marketing efforts towards our three core consumer brands: Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo.
As of December 31, 2023, our global lodging marketplace had over 3 million lodging properties available, including over 2 million online bookable alternative accommodations listings through Vrbo and over 940,000 hotels and alternative accommodations through our other brands.
Vrbo offers hosts subscription-based listing or pay-per-booking service models.

In addition, through its sale in November 2021, our B2B segment included Egencia, a full-service travel management company that provided travel services to businesses and their corporate customers.
All other revenue, which includes car rental, insurance, cruise and fee revenue related to our corporate travel business (through Egencia's sale in November 2021), decreased 17% in 2023 from a decrease in travel insurance with lower attach rates as consumers’ appetite for insurance normalizes and lower car rental revenue driven by lower rates as a result of increased industry supply.
Cost of revenue decreased $84 million during 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower costs associated with our direct customer service costs and other operations, partially offset by higher cloud costs and customer service personnel costs primarily as a result of increased transaction volumes.
As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased in 2023 on leverage driven by ongoing efficiencies across our customer support and other operations.
Selling and marketing - indirect increased compared to the prior year due to compensation increases as well as higher headcount.

Depreciation increased $44 million in 2023 compared to 2022.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased $29 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to the completion of amortization in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to certain intangible assets.
During 2021, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14 million and intangible and other long-term asset impairment charges of $6 million related to our B2B segment.
In 2020, we committed to restructuring actions intended to simplify our businesses and improve operational efficiencies, which resulted in headcount reductions and office consolidations.
As a result, we recognized $55 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during 2021.
We did not recognize any such costs in 2023 and 2022, but we continue to actively evaluate additional cost reduction efforts and should we make decisions in future periods to take further actions we may incur additional reorganization charges.
(1) Includes operating results of Egencia through its sale in November 2021.
Our B2B segment experienced an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily as a result of strong revenue growth.
Interest expense decreased in 2023 compared to 2022, as a result of lower average senior notes outstanding in the current year.
During 2022, we settled a tender offer to purchase $500 million in aggregate principal of our 2.95% senior unsecured notes, which resulted in the recognition of a net gain on debt extinguishment of $73 million.
In addition, as a result of the early redemption of the 3.6% and 4.5% senior unsecured notes in 2022, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $24 million, which primarily included the payment of early payment premiums as well as the write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.

We also shifted to a unified brand strategy within our B2C business where we have a combined team making decisions across all our brands.
These changes
In 2021, we began evolving our consumer retail strategy from being largely transactionally focused, where we were primarily focused on acquiring customers through performance marketing channels to building direct, longer-lasting relationships with our customers.
With that goal in mind, we focused towards increasing customer loyalty and app adoption as loyalty members and app users typically experience higher repeat rates, gross profits and bookings relative to non-loyalty members and non-app users.
Further, we aim to provide our customers with a high-quality product experience, strong membership benefits and broad multi-product supply offering, all of which encourages higher conversion, repeat rates and engagement.
One Key will also be launched in more countries going forward.
Prior to its sale on November 1, 2021, our B2B segment also included Egencia, which was our full-service travel management company.
Our B2B segment also includes room nights, gross bookings, and associated economics from our lodging supply agreement we entered into with GBT in conjunction with the sale of Egencia.
We are nearing the end of a multi-year project to migrate our products, data storage and functionality to public cloud computing services.

Additionally, we adopted a hybrid work model for most of our offices in 2022, designed to make the most of the productivity and collaborative energy that comes from working together in our offices while preserving the convenience and flexibility of working from home.
In parallel, we augmented our benefits programs to support employees with the transition to this hybrid work model, including expanding the scope of our travel and wellness allowance to include home office expenses and a broader range of mental and emotional health services; offering new telehealth, wellness education, and family support services; and making existing resources and services easier to access via online channels.
*Code of Ethics.* We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Senior Financial Officers (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and
Controller, and is a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable rules of the SEC.
The Code of Ethics is posted on our corporate website at www.expediagroup.com/Investors under the “Corporate Governance” tab.
If we make any substantive amendments to the Code of Ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or Chief Accounting Officer and Controller, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on that website or in a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

The cities appealed to the Arizona Tax Court, which granted the cities' motion for summary judgment in part and denied it in part in April 2016.
The matter is currently pending in the Arizona Tax Court on damages issues.
The parties filed cross motions for summary judgment on damages issues in 2020.
On December 17, 2021, the Tax Court granted the parties’ motions in part and denied the parties’ motions in part.
On January 3, 2022, plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider a portion of the December 17, 2021 ruling, which the Tax Court granted on March 1, 2022.
The parties reached a settlement of all claims with the exception of those brought by the city of Tucson and, on July 25, 2022, the court dismissed those claims, thereby ending the matter as to those claims.
The parties filed cross motions for summary judgment on the city of Tucson’s claims and, on November 16, 2022, the Tax Court found in favor of the city of Tucson.
The Tax Court issued a final judgment on January 18, 2023, and the Expedia Defendants filed a notice of appeal from that judgment on January 30, 2023.
The court heard argument on the appeal on November 9, 2023.
On January 11, 2024, the court issued a ruling reversing and vacating the lower court’s decision and remanding with instructions to enter judgment in favor of Expedia.
*State of Louisiana/City of New Orleans Litigation.* In August 2016, the State of Louisiana Department of Revenue and the city of New Orleans filed a lawsuit in Louisiana state court against a number of online travel companies, including Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Orbitz and Egencia.
The complaint alleges claims for declaratory judgment, violation of state and city tax laws, unfair trade practices, breach of fiduciary duty, and imposition of a constructive trust.
On January 26, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to reconsider the court’s prior denial of their motion for summary judgment and motion for judgment on the pleadings based on the recent decision by the Louisiana court of appeals in the Jefferson Parrish litigation.
The court granted that motion in part, and denied it in part, on March 3, 2022.
Trial in the case began on April 5 and concluded on April 13, 2022.
On May 19, 2022, the trial court announced its decision in favor of the Expedia defendants, holding that they had no tax liability to the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs filed notices of appeal.
The Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeals held argument on the appeals on August 9, 2023 and the parties await a ruling.
*Israeli Putative Class Action Lawsuit (Silis).* In or around September 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the District Court in Tel Aviv, Israel against Hotels.com.
The plaintiff generally alleges that Hotels.com violated Israeli consumer protection laws in various ways by failing to calculate and display VAT charges in pricing displays shown to Israeli consumers.
The plaintiff has filed a motion for class certification which Hotels.com has opposed.
In January 2023, the parties agreed to a settlement in principle.
On August 18, 2022, the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff’s claim in the *Glen* action, thereby ending that matter.
On November 11, 2022, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the dismissal of the plaintiff’s claim in the *Del Valle* matter.
On May 31, 2023, Expedia filed a Petition for Writ of Certiori with the Supreme Court, and on October 2, 2023, the Supreme Court denied Expedia’s Petition for Writ of Certiori in the *Del Valle* matter.

| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, travelers enrolled in [removed: the One Key, Expedia Rewards and Hotels.com Rewards] loyalty programs [removed: (collectively “loyalty programs”)] earn rewards with each eligible booking made which can be redeemed for free or discounted future bookings. Member consideration is allocated between travel services and rewards earned in the loyalty programs. The Company defers the relative standalone selling price of earned rewards, net of rewards not expected to be redeemed (known as “breakage”), as deferred loyalty rewards within deferred merchant bookings on the consolidated balance sheet. To estimate the relative standalone selling price for rewards, the Company considers the stated redemption value per reward dictated by the terms of the loyalty programs and then estimates the future breakage of rewards based on statistical modeling techniques using historical member activity. The deferred loyalty rewards balance, net of amounts paid to the travel [removed: suppler,] [added: supplier,] is recognized as revenue when the travel service purchased with the loyalty reward is satisfied. | | |
| | | | | | | Auditing the Company’s [added: One Key] deferred loyalty rewards [added: program ("One Key")] balance is especially complex and judgmental due to significant measurement uncertainty in determining the expected future breakage of rewards. Management uses statistical modeling techniques to estimate future breakage based on historical member activity. The amount of member consideration allocated to the rewards earned is sensitive to the expected future breakage assumption. [removed: The introduction of new programs, changes in loyalty program terms or the method, or manner in which rewards can be redeemed by members can change member behavior which increases the measurement uncertainty as historical member activity may not be indicative of future behavior.] | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over Management’s review of the statistical modeling techniques and resulting breakage [removed: estimates.] [added: estimates for One Key deferred loyalty rewards.] We also tested controls over the completeness and accuracy of member activity data used in the breakage estimate analyses. This included controls over the Company’s systems and the application controls involved in the process to track [added: One Key] loyalty reward member activity. To test the [added: One Key] deferred loyalty rewards balance, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, involving our actuarial specialists to assist us in assessing the methods used by Management and to develop an independent actuarial estimate of a reasonable range of breakage rates. We then compared this reasonable range of breakage rates to the Company’s estimates. Additionally, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the member activity data used by our actuarial specialists in their breakage analyses. | | |

We review our available-for-sale securities on a regular basis for impairment.
For available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions, we determine whether any portion of the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is due to credit-related factors if we neither intend to sell nor anticipate that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis.
We consider factors such as the extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, any noted failure of the issuer to make scheduled payments, changes to the rating of the security and other relevant credit-related factors in determining whether or not a credit loss exists.
In addition, we have a limited number of market-based stock units and performance-based stock units (collectively referred to as "PSUs").
For market-based awards, we calculated the fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model.
For performance-based awards, we determine the grant-date fair value to be the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant.

As of January 1, 2023, we adopted the new guidance related to recognizing and measuring contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination.
The new guidance requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination as compared to current GAAP where an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date.
The adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance to improve its income tax disclosure requirements.
