Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide travel products and services to leisure and corporate travelers in the United States and abroad. These travel products and services are offered through a diversified portfolio of brands including: Expedia.com^®, hotels.com^®, Hotwire.com^tm, Expedia Affiliate Network (formerly “Worldwide Travel Exchange and Interactive Affiliate Network”), Classic Vacations, Egencia^tm, eLong^tm, Inc. (“eLong”), TripAdvisor^® Media Network and Venere Net SpA (“Venere”). In addition, many of these brands have related international points of sale. We refer to Expedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Expedia,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

These accompanying financial statements present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Expedia, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities we control, or in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary of future cash profits or losses. We have eliminated significant intercompany transactions and accounts.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Accounting Estimates

We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income during any period. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition; recoverability of current and long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; income and indirect taxes, such as potential settlements related to occupancy taxes; loss contingencies; stock-based compensation and accounting for derivative instruments.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts relating to our prior period results to conform to our current period presentation. During the first quarter of 2009, our development and information technology teams were effectively combined to better support our global brands. As a result of our reorganization, in addition to costs to develop and maintain our website and internal use applications, technology and content expense now also includes the majority of information technology costs such as costs to support and operate our network and back-office applications (including related data center costs), system monitoring and network security, and other technology leadership and support functions. The most significant reclassification of costs occurred between general and administrative expense and technology and content expense as,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

historically, a significant portion of the information technology costs were within general and administrative expense. Technology costs to operate our live site and call center applications in production remained in cost of revenue.

The following table presents a summary of the amounts as reported and as reclassified in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2008				June 30, 2008
	As reported		As reclassified		As reported		As reclassified
			(In thousands)
Cost of revenue	$	168,874	$	170,027	$	320,817	$	322,287
Selling and marketing		299,550		300,361		586,672		588,356
Technology and content		52,744		71,544		105,046		143,490
General and administrative		84,679		63,915		173,080		131,482

There was no change to operating income as a result of these reclassifications.

Seasonality

We generally experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our travel products and services. For example, traditional leisure travel bookings are generally the highest in the first three quarters as travelers plan and book their spring, summer and holiday travel. The number of bookings typically decreases in the fourth quarter. Because revenue in our merchant business is generally recognized when the travel takes place rather than when it is booked, revenue typically lags bookings by several weeks or longer. As a result, revenue is typically the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2008, we adopted certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. On January 1, 2009, we adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS 157 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141R applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses and requires that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business as well as any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree be recorded at their fair values at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration arrangements are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings. Pre-acquisition contingencies are also typically recognized at their acquisition date fair values. In subsequent periods, contingent liabilities are measured at the higher of their acquisition date fair values or the estimated amounts to be realized. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements but does change our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting on Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests are to be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The calculation of earnings per share continues to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but affects only those entities that have an

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. Beginning on January 1, 2009, upon adoption of SFAS 160, we recharacterized our minority interest as a noncontrolling interest and classified it as a component of stockholders’ equity in our consolidated financial statements with the exception of shares redeemable at the option of the minority holders, which are not significant and have been classified as a liability.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. See “Derivatives” below for applicable disclosures under SFAS 161.

During the second quarter of 2009, we adopted the three Staff Positions (“FSPs”) the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in April 2009 that are intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4 clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being measured. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 establishes a new model for measuring other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities, including establishing criteria for when to recognize a write-down through earnings versus other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to interim periods. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 resulted in increased disclosures related to our debt.

During the second quarter of 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), on a prospective basis. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated subsequent events through the time that we filed our financial statements on July 30, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will begin to use the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP in the third quarter of 2009. As the Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140. The new standard eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires greater transparency of related disclosures. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 166 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Other Assets

At December 31, 2008, we had $16 million in redemptions of money market holdings due from the Reserve Primary Fund (the “Fund”). During the first half of 2009, we received $9 million in distributions from the Fund. At June 30, 2009, we had a remaining $7 million in redemptions due from the Fund, of which $1 million was included in prepaid and other current assets and $6 million in long-term investments and other assets. We classified a portion of our holdings as long-term due to the Fund’s February 2009 announcement that it would not distribute a certain amount of fund assets until such time as pending claims and litigation against the Fund are settled. The timing of distribution of the remaining fund assets, including amounts set aside for pending litigation, cannot be determined at this time and we may be required to record additional losses in future periods as further information becomes available from the Fund.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. We use foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain merchant revenue exposures and in lieu of holding certain foreign currency cash for the purpose of economically hedging our foreign currency-denominated merchant accounts payable and deferred merchant bookings balances. Our goal in managing our foreign exchange risk is to reduce, to the extent practicable, our potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on our earnings, cash flows and financial position. Our foreign currency forward contracts are typically short-term and are recorded at fair value with gains and losses recorded in other, net. Valuation of the foreign currency forward contracts is based on foreign currency exchange rates in active markets (a Level 2 input). We had a net forward asset of $1 million recorded in prepaid and other current assets as of June 30, 2009 and a net liability of $1 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2008. We recorded $28 million and $29 million in net gains from foreign currency forward contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Long-term Debt

Our $400 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding at June 30, 2009 are due in July 2016 and bear interest at 8.5% (the “8.5% Notes”). The 8.5% Notes were issued at 98.572% of par resulting in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in January and July of each year, beginning January 1, 2009. The 8.5% Notes are repayable in whole or in part upon the occurrence of a change of control, at the option of the holders, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued interest. Prior to July 1, 2011, in the event of a qualified equity offering, we may redeem up to 35% of the 8.5% Notes at a redemption price of 108.5% of the principal plus accrued interest. Additionally, we may redeem the 8.5% Notes prior to July 1, 2012 in whole or in part at a redemption price of 100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium. On or after July 1, 2012, we may redeem the 8.5% Notes in whole or in part at specified prices ranging from 104.250% to 100% of the principal plus accrued interest.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Our $500 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at June 30, 2009 are due in August 2018 and bear interest at 7.456% (the “7.456% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. The 7.456% Notes are repayable in whole or in part on August 15, 2013, at the option of the holders of such 7.456% Notes, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. We may redeem the 7.456% Notes in accordance with the terms of the agreement, in whole or in part at any time at our option.

Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of our 7.456% Notes was approximately $478 million and $365 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the fair value of our 8.5% Notes was approximately $387 million and $280 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The 7.456% and 8.5% Notes are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. For further information, see Note 10 — Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Supplemental Financial Information. Accrued interest related to the 7.456% and 8.5% Notes was $31 million and $32 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Credit Facility

Expedia, Inc. maintains a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders, which is unconditionally guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries and expires in August 2010. No amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2009. We had $650 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2008. The facility bears interest based on market interest rates plus a spread, which is determined based on our financial leverage. The interest rate was 1.34% as of December 31, 2008. On February 18, 2009, we amended our credit facility to replace a tangible net worth covenant with a minimum interest coverage covenant, among other changes. As part of this amendment our leverage ratio was tightened, pricing on our borrowings increased by 200 basis points and we paid approximately $6 million in fees, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the credit facility. The annual fee to maintain the facility ranges from 0.4% to 0.5% on the unused portion of the facility, or approximately $4 million to $5 million if all of the facility is unused. The facility also contains financial covenants consisting of a leverage ratio and an interest expense coverage ratio.

The amount of stand-by letters of credit (“LOC”) issued under the facility reduces the credit amount available. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, there was $50 million and $58 million of outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under the facility.

Note 4 — Stockholders’ Equity

Stock-based Awards

Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options. Our RSUs generally vest over five years and our stock options generally vest over four years.

As of June 30, 2009, we had stock-based awards outstanding representing approximately 27 million shares of our common stock consisting of options to purchase approximately 19 million shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $15.47 and weighted average remaining life of 5.6 years and approximately 8 million RSUs.

Annual employee stock-based award grants typically occur during the first quarter of each year. In the first quarter of 2009, we awarded stock options as our primary form of stock-based compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we granted 10 million options and 1 million RSUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we granted 3 million RSUs.

The fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was $33 million.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income was $77 million and $96 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and $91 million and $143 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The primary difference between net income attributable to Expedia, Inc. as reported and comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.

During the second quarter of 2009, we acquired an additional interest in one of our equity method investments for $3 million in cash, resulting in a 60% majority ownership interest in that entity. In conjunction with the acquisition, we remeasured our previously held equity interest to fair value and recognized the resulting loss of $5 million in other, net during the period. The fair value was determined based on various valuation techniques, including market comparables and discounted cash flow projections (Level 3 inputs). Our investment agreement contains certain rights, whereby we may acquire and the investee may sell to us the additional shares of the company, at fair value or at established multiples of future earnings at our discretion, during the first quarter of 2011 and 2013.

Note 7 — Restructuring Charges

In conjunction with the reorganization of our business around our global brands, we recognized $15 million in restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The domestic restructuring charges are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2009, and our international restructuring charges in the first half of 2010.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Expedia. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including value-added tax, federal excise tax, transient occupancy or accommodation tax and similar matters.

Litigation Relating to Hotel Occupancy Taxes. Lawsuits have been filed by fifty-four cities and counties involving hotel occupancy taxes. In addition, there have been six consumer lawsuits filed relating to taxes and fees. The municipality and consumer lawsuits are in various stages ranging from responding to the complaint to dismissal or settlement. We continue to defend these lawsuits vigorously. To date, sixteen of the municipality lawsuits have been dismissed. Most of these dismissals have been without prejudice and, generally, allow the municipality to seek administrative remedies prior to pursuing further litigation. Five dismissals (Pitt County, North Carolina; Findlay, Ohio; Columbus and Dayton, Ohio; City of Orange, Texas; and Louisville, Kentucky) were based on a finding that the defendants were not subject to the local hotel occupancy tax ordinance. As a result of this litigation and other attempts by certain jurisdictions to levy similar taxes, we have established a reserve for the potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy taxes in the amount of $21 million and $20 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Our reserve is based on our best estimate and the ultimate resolution of these issues may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded.

In connection with various occupancy tax audits and assessments, certain jurisdictions may assert that tax payers are required to pay any assessed taxes prior to being allowed to contest or litigate the applicability of the ordinances, which is referred to as “pay to play.” These jurisdictions may attempt to require that we pay any assessed taxes prior to being allowed to contest or litigate the applicability of similar tax ordinances. Payment of these amounts is not an admission that we believe we are subject to such taxes and, even when such payments are made, we will continue to defend our position vigorously. On March 30, 2009, the California Superior Court for Orange County determined we are not required to make a payment in order to litigate in Anaheim, California. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we accrued and, on July 13, 2009, we paid $35 million to the City of San Francisco for amounts assessed for hotel occupancy tax from January 2000 to March 2009. We have also accrued $20 million for additional assessments that it is probable we will pay in the third quarter of 2009 related to the same issue. We paid and expect to pay such amounts in order to be allowed to pursue litigation challenging whether we are required to pay hotel occupancy tax on the portion of the customer payment we retain as compensation and, if so, the actual amounts owed. We do not believe that the amounts we retain as compensation are

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

subject to the city’s hotel occupancy tax ordinance. If we prevail in the litigation, the city will be required to repay these amounts, plus interest.

Class Action Lawsuit. We are a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in Seattle, Washington alleging that certain practices related to our service fees breached our Terms of Use and violated Washington’s Consumer Protection Act from 2001 through 2008. In May 2009, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on their breach of contract claim, without the benefit of an actual trial on the merits, and denied the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on their Consumer Protection Act claim. The court concluded that the damages for the alleged breach were approximately $185 million. We have entered into a Settlement Agreement providing for the settlement of all claims alleged in the lawsuit. The Settlement is subject to court approval and a preliminary settlement hearing is currently scheduled for August 10, 2009; final approval of the Settlement is not expected until late 2009. We have denied and continue to deny all of the allegations and claims asserted in the lawsuit, including claims that the plaintiffs have suffered any harm or damages. We do not admit liability or the truth of any of the allegations in the lawsuit and are attempting to settle the case to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. We have estimated the range of possible loss associated with the settlement to be $19 million to $134 million and have accrued $19 million as of June 30, 2009, our best estimate of the low end of the range of the losses probable to be incurred.

Note 9 — Segment Information

Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, we have three reportable segments: Leisure, the TripAdvisor Media Network and Egencia. The change from two reportable segments, North America and Europe, was a result of the reorganization of our business around our global brands. We determined our segments based on how our chief operating decision makers manage our business, make operating decisions and evaluate operating performance. Our primary operating metric for evaluating segment performance is Operating Income Before Amortization (“OIBA”). OIBA for our Leisure and Egencia segments includes allocations of certain expenses, primarily cost of revenue and facilities, and our Leisure segment includes the total costs of our Partner Services Group. We base the allocations primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics; this methodology is periodically evaluated and may change. We do not allocate certain shared expenses such as accounting, human resources, information technology and legal to our reportable segments. We include these expenses in Corporate and Eliminations.

Our Leisure segment provides a full range of travel and advertising services to our worldwide customers through a variety of brands including: Expedia.com and hotels.com in the United States and localized Expedia and hotels.com websites throughout the world, Expedia Affiliate Network, Hotwire.com, Venere, eLong and Classic Vacations. Our TripAdvisor Media Network segment provides advertising services to travel suppliers on its websites, which aggregate traveler opinions and unbiased travel articles about cities, hotels, restaurants and activities in a variety of destinations through tripadvisor.com and its localized international versions as well as through its various travel media content properties within the TripAdvisor Media Network. Our Egencia segment provides managed travel services to corporate customers in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

Concurrent with the change to three reportable segments, we have expanded our segment disclosure to include intersegment revenues, which primarily consist of advertising and media services provided by our TripAdvisor Media Network segment to our Leisure segment. These intersegment transactions are recorded by each segment at estimated fair value as if the transactions were with third parties and, therefore, impact segment performance. However, the revenue and corresponding expense are eliminated in consolidation. The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within “Corporate and Eliminations” in the table below.

Corporate and Eliminations also includes unallocated corporate functions and expenses. In addition, we record amortization of intangible assets and any related impairment, as well as stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and other items excluded from segment operating performance in Corporate and Eliminations. Such amounts are detailed in our segment reconciliation below.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

The following tables present our segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. As a significant portion of our property and equipment is not allocated to our operating segments, we do not report the assets or related depreciation expense as it would not be meaningful, nor do we regularly provide such information to our chief operating decision makers.

Overview

Expedia, Inc. is an online travel company, empowering business and leisure travelers with the tools and information they need to efficiently research, plan, book and experience travel. We have created a global travel marketplace used by a broad range of leisure and corporate travelers, offline retail travel agents and travel service providers. We make available, on a stand-alone and package basis, travel products and services provided by numerous airlines, lodging properties, car rental companies, destination service providers, cruise lines and other travel product and service companies. We also offer travel and non-travel advertisers access to a potential source of incremental traffic and transactions through our various media and advertising offerings on both the TripAdvisor Media Network and on our transaction-based websites.

Our portfolio of brands includes Expedia.com^®, hotels.com^®, Hotwire.com^tm, Expedia Affiliate Network (formerly “Worldwide Travel Exchange and Interactive Affiliate Network”), Classic Vacations, Egencia^tm, eLong^tm, TripAdvisor^® Media Network and Venere Net SpA (“Venere”). In addition, many of these brands have related international points of sale. For additional information about our portfolio of brands, see “Portfolio of Brands” in Part I, Item 1, “Business,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Trends

The travel industry, including offline agencies, online agencies and other suppliers of travel products and services, has been characterized by intense competition, as well as rapid and significant change. In addition, beginning in late 2008, global economic and financial market conditions worsened markedly, creating uncertainty for travelers and suppliers. This macroeconomic downturn has pressured discretionary spending on travel and advertising, with weakness initially identified in the United States and the United Kingdom markets increasing and spreading to all geographies. We cannot predict the magnitude or duration of this downturn, and our current limited visibility does not suggest any meaningful, near-term improvement.

In late April 2009, the World Health Organization acknowledged an outbreak of swine influenza, which was categorized as a pandemic in June 2009, with reported cases in Mexico and eight other countries. In response, travel advisories were issued by several countries against non-essential travel, primarily to Mexico. We are unable to predict the longer-term impact of the swine flu outbreak on the travel industry generally, or our business in particular. However, concerns relating to the health-risk posed by the swine flu could result in a decrease and/or delay in demand for our travel services. This decrease and/or delay in demand, depending on its scope and duration, could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Airline Sector

The airline sector in particular has historically experienced significant turmoil. U.S. airlines have responded to chronic overcapacity, financial losses and extreme volatility in oil prices by aggressively reducing their cost structures and seating capacities. Reduced seating capacities are generally negative for Expedia as there is less air supply available on our websites, and in turn less opportunity to facilitate hotel rooms, car rental and other services on behalf of air travelers. Many carriers have continued reducing capacity in 2009, and have delayed or cancelled plans for capacity expansion in 2010 and beyond.

In 2008, many carriers raised their per seat yields by increasing fares, assessing fuel surcharges and increasing the use of a la carte pricing for such items as baggage, food and beverage and preferred seating. Fare increases, fuel surcharges and other fees are also generally negative for Expedia’s business, as they may negatively impact traveler demand with no corresponding increase in our remuneration as our air revenue is tied principally to ticket volumes, not prices. Fare increases were especially pronounced through the first three quarters of 2008, but began to moderate in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the first half of 2009, airfares have declined 18% as carriers attempt to fill planes in a time of slower demand.

In addition to capacity and pricing actions, carriers have responded to industry conditions by aggressively reducing costs in every aspect of their operations, including distribution costs. Prior to 2008, airlines lowered (and in some cases, eliminated) travel agent commissions and overrides, and increased direct distribution through their proprietary websites. Carriers also reduced payments to global distribution systems (“GDS”) intermediaries, which have historically passed on a portion of these payments to large travel agents, including Expedia. In 2009, Expedia.com and other major online travel agencies began offering air tickets to consumers without an associated online booking fee, matching the airline supplier sites, which also do not charge online booking fees. The fee removal contributed to lower revenue per ticket for Expedia in the first half of 2009.

Primarily as a result of decreased costs of distribution and reduced access to excess air supply, Expedia’s revenue per air ticket decreased more than 10% in each of 2005, 2006 and 2007, and by 2008 air revenue constituted less than 15% of the Company’s global revenue. We saw greater stability in air revenue per ticket during 2008 due to our signing long-term agreements with nine of the top ten domestic carriers and three GDS providers in prior years, as well as an increase in booking fees for Expedia.com travelers. However, in the first half of 2009, in part due to our booking fee removal, our revenue per ticket has declined 22%. We may encounter additional pressure on air remuneration as certain supply agreements renew in 2009 and beyond.

In addition to the above challenges, larger carriers participating in the Expedia marketplace have generally reduced their share of total air seat capacity, while leading low-cost carriers such as Southwest in the United States and EasyJet in Europe have increased their relative capacities, but have generally chosen not to participate in the Expedia marketplace. This trend

has negatively impacted our ability to obtain supply in our air business, and increased the relative attractiveness of some other online and offline sales channels.

Hotel Sector

In 2008, the hotel sector witnessed continued supply growth and rapidly slowing demand, resulting in declining occupancy rates. Average daily rate (“ADR”) growth, which had been robust in 2006 and 2007, slowed considerably throughout 2008, and by the fourth quarter was declining year-over-year. Some key leisure travel markets for Expedia, such as Las Vegas and Hawaii, have seen dramatic year-on-year declines in ADRs. In 2009, we have experienced a further weakening in ADRs due primarily to weak travel demand and continued supply expansion, resulting in declining industry occupancy rates.

While lower occupancies have historically increased our supply of merchant hotel rooms, and a lower rate of ADR growth can positively impact underlying room night growth, lower ADRs also decrease our revenue per room night as our remuneration varies proportionally with the room price. ADRs on Expedia’s worldwide sites grew 7% in 2007, but declined 1% in 2008, including a 10% decrease in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. In the first half of 2009, ADRs declined 19% compared to the same period in 2008. Our hotel remuneration is also impacted by our hotel margins, which have declined recently due to adverse movements in foreign exchange rates, lower fees and more competitive hotel pricing.

Industry sources now forecast year-on-year declines in 2009 occupancies and ADRs that are even more severe than those experienced after the 9/11 terror events. These sources call for additional declines in these metrics in 2010. These trends, combined with softer demand in a weakening economy and lower air capacity into our core leisure travel destinations, create a challenging backdrop for our hotel business, which is the largest source of revenue and profitability for Expedia. Through the first half of 2009, Expedia’s ADR declines have exceeded the industry as hotels have made proportionately more promotional inventory available to us.

Online Travel

Increased usage and familiarity with the internet have driven rapid growth in online penetration of travel expenditures. According to PhoCusWright, an independent travel, tourism and hospitality research firm, in 2008 approximately 58% of U.S. leisure, unmanaged and corporate travel expenditures occurred online, compared with approximately 33% of European travel. Online penetration in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to lag behind that of Europe. These penetration rates have increased over the past few years, and are expected to continue growing. This significant growth has attracted many competitors to online travel. This competition has intensified in recent years, and the industry is expected to remain highly competitive for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the growth of online travel agencies, airlines and lodging companies have aggressively pursued direct online distribution of their products and services, and supplier growth has outpaced online agency growth since 2002. As a result, according to PhoCusWright, by 2008 travel supplier sites accounted for 61% of total online travel spend in the United States. PhoCusWright forecasts that suppliers’ share of online travel has reached an inflection point, and will remain relatively constant in 2009 and 2010, although recent fee actions by the online travel agencies could lead to a decrease in supplier share in the near-term.

Differentiation among the various website offerings has narrowed dramatically in the past several years, and the travel landscape has grown extremely competitive, with the need for competitors to generally differentiate their offerings on features other than price. Newer competitive entrants such as “meta search” companies have in some cases been able to introduce differentiated features and content compared with the legacy online travel agency companies; although in most cases they are not providing actual travel booking services. Some of these competitors have raised significant amounts of capital and plan to aggressively advertise their service offerings. In early 2009, TripAdvisor.com launched a competitive meta search travel offering featuring a Fee Estimator enabling customers to see the price of their flight including various airline fees such as baggage charges.

The online travel industry has also seen the development of alternative business models and variations in the timing of payment by travelers and to suppliers, which in some cases place pressure on historical business models. In particular, the agency hotel model has seen rapid adoption in Europe, and Expedia has only recently introduced a competitive offering.

Over the long-term, intense competition has also led to aggressive marketing spend by the travel suppliers and intermediaries, and a meaningful reduction in our overall marketing efficiency and operating margins. In the first half of 2009, we have seen a reversal of these trends, but there can be no assurance that reversal will continue in the future.

Strategy

We play a fundamental role in facilitating travel, whether for leisure, unmanaged business or managed business travelers. We are committed to providing travelers, travel suppliers and advertisers the world over with the best set of resources to serve their travel needs by leveraging Expedia’s critical assets — our brand portfolio, our technology and content innovation, our global reach and our breadth of product offering. In addition, we intelligently utilize our growing base of knowledge about destinations, activities, suppliers and travelers and our central position in the travel value chain to more effectively merchandise our travel offerings.

A discussion of the critical assets that we leverage in achieving our business strategy follows:

Portfolio of Travel Brands. We seek to appeal to the broadest possible range of travelers, suppliers and advertisers through our collection of industry-leading brands. We target several different demographics, from the value-conscious traveler through our Hotwire brand to luxury travelers seeking a high-touch, customized vacation package through our Classic Vacations brand.

We believe our flagship Expedia brand appeals to the broadest range of travelers, with our extensive product offering ranging from single item bookings of discounted product to dynamic bundling of higher-end travel packages. Our hotels.com site and its international versions target travelers with premium hotel content such as 360-degree tours and hotel reviews. In the United States, hotels.com generally appeals to travelers with shorter booking windows who prefer to drive to their destinations, and who make a significant portion of their travel bookings over the telephone.

Through Egencia, we make travel products and services available on a managed basis to corporate travelers in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Further, our TripAdvisor Media Network allows us to reach a broad range of travelers with travel opinions and user-generated content.

We believe our appeal to suppliers and advertisers is further enhanced by our geographic breadth and range of business models, allowing them to offer their products and services to the industry’s broadest range of travelers using our various agency, merchant and advertising business models. We intend to continue supporting and investing in our brand portfolio, geographic footprint and business models for the benefit of our travelers, suppliers and advertisers.

Technology and Content Innovation. Expedia has an established tradition of technology innovation, from Expedia.com’s inception as a division of Microsoft to our introduction of more recent innovations such as Expedia’s introduction of its ‘Expedia Easy Manage’ program, offering smaller properties in secondary and tertiary markets in Europe and Asia Pacific through an agency model hotel program, TripAdvisor’s launch of its Business Traveler Center, incorporating Egencia content ranking best hotels for business travelers and FlipKey’s launch of self-service listings for vacation property owners to merchandise their offerings.

We intend to continue innovating on behalf of our travelers, suppliers and advertisers with particular focus on improving the traveler experience, supplier integration and presentation, platform improvements, search engine marketing and search engine optimization.

Global Reach. Our Expedia, hotels.com and TripAdvisor Media Network brands operate both in North America and internationally. We also offer Chinese travelers an array of products and services through our majority ownership in eLong, and we offer hotels to European-based travelers through our wholly-owned subsidiary Venere, which we acquired in the third

quarter of 2008. During the first half of 2009, approximately 31% of worldwide gross bookings and 33% of worldwide revenue were international.

Egencia, our corporate travel business, currently operates in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. We believe the corporate travel sector represents a large opportunity for Expedia, and we believe we offer a compelling technology solution to businesses seeking to optimize travel costs and improve their employees’ travel experiences. We intend to continue investing in and expanding the geographic footprint and technology infrastructure of Egencia.

In expanding our global reach, we leverage significant investments in technology, operations, brand building, supplier relationships and other initiatives that we have made since the launch of Expedia.com in 1996. We intend to continue leveraging this investment when launching additional points of sale in new countries, introducing new website features, adding supplier products and services including new business model offerings, as well as proprietary and user-generated content for travelers.

Our scale of operations enhances the value of technology innovations we introduce on behalf of our travelers and suppliers. As an example, our traveler review feature — whereby our travelers have created millions of qualified reviews of hotel properties — is able to accumulate a larger base of reviews due to the higher base of online traffic that frequents our various websites. In addition, our increasing scale enhances our websites’ appeal to travel and non-travel advertisers.

We intend to continue investing in and growing our international points of sale. We anticipate launching points of sale in additional countries where we find large travel markets and rapid growth of online commerce. Future launches may occur under any of our brands, or through acquisition of third party brands, as in the case of eLong, Venere and Egencia.

Breadth of Product Offering. We offer a comprehensive array of innovative travel products and services to our travelers. We plan to continue improving and growing these offerings, as well as expand them to our worldwide points of sale over time. Travelers can interact with us how and when they prefer, including via our 24/7 1-800 telesales service, which is an integral part of the Company’s appeal to travelers.

Over 60% of our revenue is from transactions involving the booking of hotel reservations, with less than 15% of our worldwide revenue derived from the sale of airline tickets. We facilitate travel products and services either as stand-alone products or as part of package transactions. We have emphasized growing our merchant hotel and packages businesses as these result in higher revenue per transaction; however, we are working to grow our global agency hotel business through our Venere brand as well as our Expedia and hotels.com brands. We also seek to continue diversifying our revenue mix beyond core air and hotel products to car rental, destination services, cruise and other product offerings. We have been working toward and will continue to work toward increasing the mix of advertising and media revenue from both the expansion of our TripAdvisor Media Network, as well as increasing advertising revenue from our worldwide websites such as Expedia.com and hotels.com, which have historically been focused on transaction revenue. During the first half of 2009, advertising and media revenue accounted for approximately 11% of worldwide revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe are important in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they require that we use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. We prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There are certain critical estimates that we believe require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•		It requires us to make an assumption because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time we were making the estimate; and

•		Changes in the estimate or different estimates that we could have selected may have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Stock-based Compensation

In the first quarter of 2009, we awarded stock options as our primary form of employee stock-based compensation. We measure the value of stock option awards on the date of grant at fair value using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, over the remaining term on a straight-line basis. The Black-Scholes model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

We record stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures. In determining the estimated forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, we periodically conduct an assessment of the actual number of equity awards that have been forfeited to date as well as those expected to be forfeited in the future. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the type of award, the employee class and historical experience. The estimate of stock awards that will ultimately be forfeited requires significant judgment and to the extent that actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period such estimates are revised.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Segments

Media Network segment provides advertising services to travel suppliers on its websites, which aggregate traveler opinions and unbiased travel articles about cities, hotels, restaurants and activities in a variety of destinations through tripadvisor.com and its localized international versions as well as through its various travel media content properties within the TripAdvisor Media Network. Our Egencia segment provides managed travel services to corporate customers in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

Reclassifications

During the first quarter of 2009, our development and information technology teams were effectively combined to better support our global brands. As a result of our reorganization, in addition to costs to develop and maintain our website and internal use applications, technology and content expense now also includes the majority of information technology costs such as costs to support and operate our network and back-office applications (including related data center costs), system monitoring and network security, and other technology leadership and support functions. The most significant reclassification of costs occurred between general and administrative expense and technology and content expense as, historically, a significant portion of the information technology costs were within general and administrative expense. Technology costs to operate our live site and call center applications in production remained in cost of revenue. For a detail of the amounts reclassified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Operating Metrics

Our operating results are affected by certain metrics, such as gross bookings and revenue margin, which we believe are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of Expedia’s Leisure and Egencia segments. Gross bookings represent the total retail value of transactions booked for both agency and merchant transactions, recorded at the time of booking reflecting the total price due for travel by travelers, including taxes, fees and other charges, and are generally reduced for cancellations and refunds. As travelers have increased their use of the internet to book travel arrangements, we have generally seen our gross bookings increase, reflecting the growth in the online travel industry and our business acquisitions. Revenue margin is defined as revenue as a percentage of gross bookings.

(1)		All percentages within the Management Discussion and Analysis are calculated on unrounded numbers.

(2)		The TripAdvisor Media Network, which is comprised of media businesses that differ from our transaction-based websites and our Egencia business, does not have associated gross bookings or revenue margin. However, third-party revenue from the TripAdvisor Media Network is included in revenue used to calculate total revenue margin.

The decrease in worldwide gross bookings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008, was primarily due to a 22% and 18% decrease in airfares and a 19% decrease in hotel ADRs for both periods, partially offset by a 18% and 13% increase in transactions.

The increase in revenue margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008, was primarily due to a reduction in the mix of lower margin air product and an increased mix of advertising and media revenue.

Total revenue	$	770	$	795		(3	%)	$	1,405	$	1,483		(5	%)

Revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to decreases in domestic air and hotel revenue, including declines in package revenue, within our Leisure segment, partially offset by an increase in car rental revenue and advertising and media revenue.

Worldwide hotel revenue decreased 1% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a 19% decrease in ADRs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, partially offset by a 26% and 20% increase in room nights stayed, including rooms delivered as a component of packages and nights booked through Venere.

Worldwide air revenue decreased 20% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, due to a 29% and 22% decrease in revenue per air ticket driven by lower consumer booking fees, lower commissions and a lower mix of merchant air tickets. Ticket volumes increased 13% and 4% reflecting ticket volume share gains driven in part by our Expedia.com U.S. booking fee removal beginning in March 2009, partially offset by lower passenger volumes due to carrier capacity cuts and softening in traveler demand.

The remaining worldwide revenue other than hotel and air discussed above, which includes advertising and media, car rental, destination services, agency cruise, increased by 1% and 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to an increase in our car rental and advertising and media revenue.

In addition to the above segment and product revenue discussion, our revenue by business model is as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,							Six months ended June 30,
	2009		2008		% Change			2009		2008		% Change
	($ in millions)							($ in millions)
*Revenue by Business Model*

Total revenue	$	770	$	795		(3	%)	$	1,405	$	1,483		(5	%)

The decrease in our merchant revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, was driven by a decrease in merchant hotel revenue primarily resulting from the lower ADRs, partially offset by higher room nights stayed discussed above.

Agency revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, due to the decrease in agency air revenue primarily resulting from our Expedia.com U.S. booking fee removal in March 2009, partially offset by higher agency hotel revenue related to Venere, which we acquired during the third quarter of 2008.

Advertising and media revenue increased 5% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to increases in advertising revenue at our Leisure transaction-based websites.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue	$	149		$	170			(13	%)	$	292		$	322			(9	%)

% of revenue		19.3	%		21.4	%					20.8	%		21.7	%

Cost of revenue primarily consists of (1) customer operations including costs of our call centers, telesales and fees paid to fulfillment vendors for processing airline tickets and related customer services, (2) credit card processing costs, including merchant fees, charge backs and fraud, and (3) other costs, primarily including costs of our data centers to support our live sites as well as costs paid to suppliers for certain destination supply.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, the primary drivers of the decrease in cost of revenue expense were a decrease in credit card processing costs as a result of our technology investments and a decrease in merchant bookings during the current periods, a decrease in call center costs due to various efficiency initiatives in the current periods and a reduction in fulfillment costs primarily resulting from efficiencies realized from bringing some of our air ticket fulfillment in-house.

Selling and Marketing

% of revenue		35.3	%		37.8	%					36.1	%		39.7	%

Selling and marketing expense primarily relates to direct advertising expense, including traffic generation costs from search engines and internet portals, in addition to television, radio and print spending as well as private label and affiliate program commissions, public relations costs, and other miscellaneous marketing expenses. The remainder of the expense relates to indirect costs, including personnel and related overhead in our Partner Services Group (“PSG”), the TripAdvisor Media Network, Egencia and Expedia Local Expert and stock-based compensation costs.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to lower online and offline advertising spend resulting from efficiencies and a lower cost advertising environment and lower private label and affiliate expenses associated with the lower overall travel demand environment in the current year periods, and was driven by decreases in our Leisure segment including Expedia branded points of sale in Europe as well as hotels.com in the United States, partially offset by an increase in spend for Venere in Europe which we acquired during the third quarter of 2008.

Technology and Content


	Three months ended June 30,									Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			% Change			2009			2008			% Change

Technology and content expense includes product development and content expense, as well as information technology costs to support our infrastructure, back-office applications and overall monitoring and security of our networks, principally related to payroll and related expenses, software development cost amortization, hardware and software expenditures, and licensing and maintenance expenses.

Technology and content expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods of 2008, primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization of technology assets.

General and Administrative


	Three months ended June 30,									Six months ended June 30,

% of revenue		8.8	%		8.0	%					9.6	%		8.9	%

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation costs, for support functions that include our executive leadership, finance, legal, tax, technology and human resource functions as well as fees for external professional services including legal, tax and accounting.

General and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to an increase in legal and other professional fees in the current periods.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

% of revenue		1.2	%		2.3	%					1.3	%		2.5	%

Amortization of intangible assets decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, due primarily to the completion of amortization related to certain distribution agreements as well as technology and supplier relationship intangible assets, partially offset by amortization related to new business acquisitions over the past year.

Restructuring Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, in conjunction with the reorganization of our business around our global brands, we recognized $6 million and $15 million in restructuring charges primarily related to employee severance and related benefits. For additional information, see Note 7 — Restructuring Charges in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Occupancy Tax Assessments and Legal Reserves

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $55 million related to monies expected to be paid in advance of litigation in the San Francisco occupancy tax proceedings and an accrual of $19 million for the potential settlement of the Expedia consumer class action lawsuit. For additional information, see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Operating income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to the San Francisco occupancy tax assessments, class action settlement legal reserve and restructuring charges in the current year periods, partially offset by a decline in sales and marketing expense and intangible asset amortization expense.

Interest income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to lower average interest rates. Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily resulting from additional interest on the $400 million senior unsecured notes issued in June 2008.

Provision for income taxes	$	(34	)	$	(66	)		(48	%)	$	(62	)	$	(95	)		(35	%)
Effective tax rate		45.1	%		40.9	%					43.0	%		39.6	%

We determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective rate. We record any changes to the estimated annual rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete tax items.

The increase in the effective rate for the first half of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to the non-deductible portion of occupancy tax assessments accrued during the second quarter of 2009 as well as a non-deductible loss on one of our equity method investments.

Our effective tax rate was 45.1% and 43.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, which is higher than the 35% federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and the non-deductible expenses described above.

Our effective tax rate was 40.9% and 39.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, which is higher than the 35% federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations; our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances which were $910 million and $758 million at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 and included $134 million and $140 million of cash and short-term investments at eLong, whose results are consolidated into our financial statements due to our controlling voting and economic ownership interest; and our $1 billion revolving credit facility, of which $950 million was available as of June 30, 2009. This represents the total $1 billion facility less $50 million of outstanding stand-by letters of credit.

On February 18, 2009, we amended our credit facility to replace a tangible net worth covenant with a minimum interest coverage covenant, among other changes. As part of this amendment, our leverage ratio was tightened, pricing on our borrowings increased by 200 basis points and we paid approximately $6 million in fees, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the credit facility. Outstanding credit facility borrowings bear interest reflecting our financial leverage; based on our June 30, 2009 financial statements, the interest rate would equate to a base rate plus 262.5 basis points. At our discretion, we may choose a base rate on borrowings equal to (1) the greater of the Prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points or LIBOR plus 100 basis points or (2) various durations of LIBOR.

Under the merchant model, we receive cash from travelers at the time of booking and we record these amounts on our consolidated balance sheets as deferred merchant bookings. We pay our airline suppliers related to these merchant model bookings generally within a few weeks after completing the transaction, but we are liable for the full value of such transactions until the flights are completed. For most other merchant bookings, which is primarily our merchant hotel business, we pay after the travelers’ use and subsequent billing from the hotel suppliers. Therefore, generally we receive cash from the traveler prior to paying our supplier, and this operating cycle represents a working capital source of cash to us. As long as the merchant hotel business grows, we expect that changes in working capital will positively impact operating cash flows. However, due to various factors, including decreases in bookings and technology and process initiatives which have resulted in quicker payments to hotel suppliers, we have experienced a slight reduction in our working capital benefits to cash flows related to changes in our merchant accounts payable and deferred merchant bookings balances for the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Seasonal fluctuations in our merchant hotel bookings affect the timing of our annual cash flows. During the first half of the year, hotel bookings have traditionally exceeded stays, resulting in much higher cash flow related to working capital. During the second half of the year, this pattern reverses and cash flows are typically negative. While we expect the impact of seasonal fluctuations to continue, merchant hotel growth rates or changes to the hotel business model or booking patterns as discussed above may affect working capital, which might counteract or intensify the anticipated seasonal fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2009, we had a deficit in our working capital of $876 million, compared to a deficit of $367 million as of December 31, 2008 primarily due to the repayment of $650 million of borrowings under our credit facility in the first quarter of 2009.

We continue to invest in the development and expansion of our operations. Ongoing investments include but are not limited to improvements to infrastructure, which include our servers, networking equipment and software, release improvements to our software code and search engine optimization efforts. Our future capital requirements may include

capital needs for acquisitions, share repurchases or expenditures in support of our business strategy. In the event we have acquisitions or share repurchases, this may reduce our cash balance and/or increase our debt.

Our cash flows are as follows:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			$ Change
				($ in millions)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	845		$	871		$	(26	)
Investing activities		35			(259	)		294
Financing activities		(678	)		(209	)		(469	)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(5	)		7			(12	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $26 million primarily due to an increase in tax and interest payments, partially offset by increased benefits from other working capital changes and growth in operating income after adjusting for the impacts of depreciation and amortization and the expense accruals related to the occupancy tax assessment and the class action litigation.

Cash provided by investing activities represented a positive change of $294 million in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to an $170 million decrease in net cash paid for acquisitions, a decrease in capital expenditures of $29 million and cash provided by the maturities of short-term investments of $45 million in the current year period.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily included the repayment of $650 million of borrowings under the credit facility. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily included the net repayment of $191 million of debt.

We currently have authorization, for which there is no fixed termination date, from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to 20 million outstanding shares of our common stock; no such repurchases have been made under this authorization as of July 30, 2009. The number of shares we may repurchase under this authorization is subject to certain of our debt covenants.

We also have a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC under which Expedia, Inc. may offer from time to time debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock or warrants. The shelf registration statement expires on October 15, 2010.

In our opinion, available cash, funds from operations and available borrowings will provide sufficient capital resources to meet our foreseeable liquidity needs. Our liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings, including refinancings, if any, will not be impacted by the ongoing capital market disruptions.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2009, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments since December 31, 2008. Other than our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

Part I. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Management

There has been no material change in our market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2009. For additional information, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chairman and Senior Executive, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chairman and Senior Executive, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, Expedia and its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings and claims involving property, personal injury, contract, alleged infringement of third party intellectual property rights and other claims. A discussion of certain legal proceedings can be found in the section titled “Legal Proceedings,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The following are developments regarding such legal proceedings:

Ryanair Limited v. Travelscape, LLC. Trial is scheduled for February 1, 2010.

Consumer Class Action Litigation

hotels.com. On June 23, 2009, plaintiffs filed an amended class action petition. Plaintiff’s amended class certification motion is due on September 4, 2009.
