Revenue of $2.68 billion rose 17.9% year-over-year, clearing the consensus estimate of $2.62 billion by 2.27%, as nights booked climbed 9% to 156.2 million and average daily rates expanded 9% to $187 on FX tailwinds and firm North American pricing. Earnings per share, however, came in at $0.26, falling 14.13% short of the $0.30 consensus, weighed down by a $70.00 million tax charge tied to the U.S. Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax and stepped-up sales and marketing spending. Adjusted EBITDA grew 24% to $519.00 million, with margin expanding to 19%, offering investors a cleaner read on operating momentum. Management responded with raised full-year guidance, now calling for low-to-mid-teens revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 35%, while guiding Q2 revenue to $3.54 billion to $3.60 billion, a 14% to 16% increase year-over-year, with analysts broadly maintaining a constructive view on the company's free cash flow generation.
