Adjusted EPS came in at $1.26, missing the $1.67 consensus estimate by 24.55%, while revenue of $2.62 billion trailed the $2.70 billion forecast by 2.97%, despite climbing 14.9% year-over-year. The sharpest drag on profitability came from a 32% surge in selling and marketing costs, driven by higher B2B partner commissions and stepped-up retail spending, which pressured Q4 Adjusted EBITDA down 6% to $449.00 million versus the prior-year period. Lodging, which accounted for 77% of Q4 revenue, remained the dominant engine, supported by 19% growth in room nights stayed, while the B2B segment posted a standout 41% revenue gain to $676.00 million. With broader travel demand showing strength across the sector heading into 2023, CEO Peter Kern expressed confidence that new marketing capabilities being rolled out beyond Expedia's flagship U.S. Brand will drive further growth and margin expansion throughout the year.

Key Takeaways

  • 19% increase in room nights stayed driving lodging revenue growth
  • 3% ADR growth in lodging
  • 47% increase in air revenue per ticket
  • Strong B2B segment growth of 41% driven by Expedia Partner Solutions
  • Growth in Expedia Group Media Solutions driving advertising revenue

“We were pleased that we were able to deliver our most profitable year in 2022, despite the friction from transforming our business model and technology platform. While our Q4 results were negatively impacted by severe weather, demand was otherwise strong and accelerating, and has been markedly stronger since the start of the year.”
