Did EXPE Beat Earnings? Q4 2024 Results
Expedia Group closed out 2024 with a standout fourth quarter, posting adjusted EPS of $2.39 against a consensus estimate of $2.10, a beat of 13.89%, while revenue of $3.18 billion topped expectations by 3.71% and grew 10.3% year-over-year. The primary engine behind the quarter's strength was a pronounced acceleration in the company's B2B segment, where gross bookings surged 24%, complementing a 9% gain in B2C gross bookings, with both segments delivering 5-point sequential improvements in bookings growth. Booked room nights climbed 12% to 86.4 million and gross bookings rose 13% to $24.42 billion, reflecting broad-based demand across the portfolio. Profitability gains were equally notable, with adjusted EBITDA expanding 21% to $643 million and GAAP net income more than doubling to $299 million from $132 million a year earlier. The company also reinstated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share, and CEO Ariane Gorin pointed to AI-driven strategies and strong execution across all three core consumer brands as key contributors to the quarter's results.
