Analysis

The stock dropped -12.6% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite positive revenue growth would fit prior earnings patterns, where strong travel metrics and RMB104.0 billion liquidity did not prevent selloffs. Regulatory uncertainty around the SAMR investigation could further pressure sentiment.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, non-gaap, ads, anti-monopoly law, +2 more
6 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB4.8 billion"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial
"non-GAAP net income attributable to Trip.com Group's shareholders for the first quarter"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
ads financial
"Diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS was RMB3.67 (US$0.53)"
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.
anti-monopoly law regulatory
"monopolistic conduct pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law"
Anti-monopoly law is a set of rules that stops companies from using unfair tactics to dominate a market, such as fixing prices, blocking rivals, or buying competitors to eliminate competition. Think of it as a referee keeping a game fair; for investors it matters because enforcement can change a company’s growth prospects, raise legal and compliance costs, affect the value of mergers and acquisitions, and influence long-term profitability and market risk.
withholding tax regulatory
"changes in deferred tax liabilities relating to withholding tax"
Withholding tax is a government-required portion of a payment—such as dividends, interest, or salary—that the payer keeps back and sends directly to tax authorities before the recipient receives the money. For investors it reduces the cash they actually get and changes the after-tax return on an investment; rates and refund or credit rules vary by country and can materially affect comparisons between similar investments, like a cashier holding part of a bill to cover taxes.
deferred tax liabilities financial
"changes in deferred tax liabilities relating to withholding tax"
An accounting entry that records taxes a company will likely have to pay in the future because the way profit is reported for investors (financial accounts) differs from how taxable income is calculated today. It matters to investors because it signals real future cash outflows that will reduce funds available for dividends, debt repayment or investment—think of it as a bill put on layaway that the company still must settle later, affecting valuation and financial strength.

Excluding share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS was RMB5.73 (US$0.83) for the first quarter of 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, and held to maturity time deposit and financial products was RMB104.0 billion (US$15.1 billion).

Recent Development

The Company is and has been the subject of investigations or inquiries by national authorities regarding competition law matters, consumer protection issues, and other areas. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any current or future investigations, litigation or inquiries, it remains focused on maintaining robust compliance and governance standards.

In January 2026, the Company received a notice of investigation from the State Administration for Market Regulation ("SAMR") that it had commenced an investigation into whether the Company has abused or is abusing a dominant market position to engage in monopolistic conduct pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law. As of the date of this press release, the Company is fully cooperating with the SAMR in its ongoing investigation, including by actively providing supplementary information and documentation, and will continue to engage constructively with the SAMR on compliance with regulatory requirements. Although the Company is currently unable to predict the timing, outcome or consequences of the investigation, or estimate the possible loss, that may be associated with it, the Company will continue to monitor developments closely. The SAMR's investigation findings could directly result in a significant fine, other financial penalties and/or changes to the Company's business practices and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company remains committed to continuously reviewing its business practices while providing high-quality products and services to users and partners worldwide.

Business Outlook

For the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects net revenue to grow by approximately 3%8% year -over-year. Compared with the first quarter, the slower pace of growth is expected to have a corresponding impact on margins and bottom-line results. This reflects direct and indirect impacts from macro headwinds such as elevated energy pricing and geopolitical volatility, alongside operational adjustments the Company implemented to align with evolving industry standards and compliance frameworks. This forecast represents Trip.com Group's current and preliminary view based on the information available to it as of the date of this press release, and is subject to change and may be different from the second quarter financial results to be published in-due-course.

Trip.com Group's management team will host a conference call at 8:00 PM on June 24, 2026, U.S. Eastern Time (or 8:00 AM on June 25, 2026, Hong Kong Time) following this announcement.

Safe Harbor Statement

This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "is/are likely to," "confident," or other similar statements. Among other things, quotations from management in this press release, as well as Trip.com Group's strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, severe or prolonged downturn in the global or Chinese economy, general declines or disruptions in the travel industry, volatility in the trading price of Trip.com Group's ADSs or shares, Trip.com Group's reliance on its relationships and contractual arrangements with travel suppliers and strategic alliances, failure to compete against new and existing competitors, failure to successfully manage current growth and potential future growth, risks associated with any strategic investments or acquisitions, seasonality in the travel industry in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, failure to successfully develop Trip.com Group's existing or future business lines, damage to or failure of Trip.com Group's infrastructure and technology, loss of services of Trip.com Group's key executives, adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, any regulatory developments in laws, regulations, rules, policies or guidelines applicable to Trip.com Group, any investigation, enforcement or legal/administrative proceeding against Trip.com Group in connection with its business operation and other risks outlined in Trip.com Group's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of the date of the issuance, and Trip.com Group does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Trip.com Group's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Trip.com Group uses non-GAAP financial information related to adjusted net income attributable to Trip.com Group Limited, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS, each of which is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP result to exclude the share-based compensation charges that are not tax deductible, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, net of tax, and other applicable items. Trip.com Group's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate better understanding of operating results from quarter to quarter and provide management with a better capability to plan and forecast future periods.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for GAAP results. A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures is that non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in Trip.com Group's business for the foreseeable future.

Reconciliations of Trip.com Group's non-GAAP financial data to the most comparable GAAP data included in the consolidated statement of operations are included at the end of this press release.
