Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tripadvisor, Inc. (TRIP) reported third-quarter revenue of $436.4 million, compared with $490.8 million a year earlier, and a $313.1 million net loss for the quarter. Continuing operations had a $316.9 million net loss. The company recorded a $369.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment for Hotels and Other after revising its long-range forecast amid accelerated declines in recent performance and expected future profitability; it cited traffic-acquisition headwinds tied largely to changes in the search landscape.

Tripadvisor completed the sale of TheFork to American Express on November 1, 2026, receiving approximately $741.0 million in net cash consideration after customary adjustments and transaction expenses. It anticipates an estimated $487.0 million gain in the fourth quarter, though the final consideration and gain may differ materially based on final adjustments. TheFork's results are reported as discontinued operations, leaving Experiences and Hotels and Other as continuing reportable segments.

At September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $706.8 million. On April 1, 2026, the company repaid its $345.0 million 2026 Senior Notes using cash on hand.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

Nine-month share issuance reduces existing holders’ percentage ownership, absent offsetting changes.

The Tripadvisor filing reports that TheFork sale closed on November 1, 2026, and that the company agreed to provide American Express certain transition services for up to 12 months, depending on the service.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the company reports issuing 3,313,352 common shares through option exercises and RSU vesting, net of shares withheld. Common shares outstanding were 117,785,395 on September 30, 2026, compared with 114,472,043 on December 31, 2025. Issuing additional shares increases the total share count and reduces an existing holder’s percentage ownership, absent offsetting changes.

discontinued operations financial
"TheFork business is classified as discontinued operations"
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
goodwill impairment financial
"recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment of $369.5 million"
Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.
Term Loan B Facility financial
"The Company’s outstanding debt consisted of the following"
A Term Loan B facility is a large, multi‑year loan that a company borrows from banks or institutional investors and repays on a fixed schedule, often with smaller regular payments and a larger final payment. Think of it like a commercial mortgage for a business; it matters to investors because it changes the company’s interest costs, cash flow and financial risk — affecting its ability to pay dividends, invest in growth or meet debt obligations.
Level 3 financial
"Level 3—Valuations are based on unobservable inputs"
Level 3 describes the lowest-confidence category in the accounting “fair value” hierarchy, covering assets or liabilities whose prices are not observable in the market and must be estimated using judgment and internal models. For investors, Level 3 items matter because they can introduce greater uncertainty and potential valuation swings—like valuing a unique antique versus checking a price tag on a supermarket shelf—so they signal higher model risk and lower liquidity.
discounted cash flow financial
"using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis"
Discounted cash flow is a way to estimate what a business is worth by forecasting the money it will generate in the future and converting those future dollars into today’s terms, acknowledging that money now is worth more and future receipts are uncertain. Like comparing the value of an apple today versus a promised apple next year, it helps investors judge whether a stock’s market price is cheaper or pricier than the company’s estimated intrinsic value.

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We refer to Tripadvisor, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries as “Tripadvisor,” “the Group,” “the Company,” “us,” “we,” and “our” in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Description of Business

The Tripadvisor group (the “Group”) is a portfolio of global online platforms purpose-built to connect travelers with experiences, accommodations, restaurants and other relevant travel destination points of interest (“POIs”). Our mission is to be the world's most trusted source for travel and experiences.

We offer travelers the ability to search, discover, book, and review experiences, hotels, and restaurants seamlessly through our primary consumer-facing brands: Viator, our two-sided marketplace for experiences and Tripadvisor, our travel planning and guidance platform. Tripadvisor offers authentic traveler-submitted reviews and content, travel planning tools and related technology to instill confidence for travelers in every part of their travel journey.

The Company's strategy is focused on growing and scaling its Experiences marketplace, which we believe represents an attractive long-term value creation opportunity, while optimizing our legacy offerings within the Hotels and Other segment for profitability. As part of its Experiences strategy, on June 14, 2026, the Company entered into a put option agreement for the sale of TheFork. As a result, during the second quarter of 2026, TheFork business was reclassified as a discontinued operation and is no longer a reportable segment within continuing operations. On August 1, 2026, the Company delivered notice of exercise of the put option agreement, and effective November 1, 2026, the Company consummated the sale of TheFork. Refer to the section below titled “Sale of TheFork” for further discussion.

The Experiences segment includes Viator, a pure-play, experiences online travel agency (“OTA”), offering a two-sided global marketplace for tours, activities, and attractions; it also includes Tripadvisor and third party points-of-sale for experiences. Viator's global online marketplace merchandises bookable experiences to travelers that typically have relatively higher purchase intent either pre-destination or in-destination. Tripadvisor is an online global travel guidance platform that also merchandises experiences to its audience, which more commonly serves travelers in the discovery and planning phases. Both brands leverage Viator’s centralized supply platform that supports operator onboarding, operator inventory management, bookings, payments, fraud prevention, and customer support. In addition, the Company also syndicates its experiences supply to other third-party endemic and non-endemic demand partners. The Hotels and Other segment primarily consists of the Tripadvisor hotel and restaurant guidance platform, which includes hotel metasearch, and related advertising offerings primarily for hotels and restaurants.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Tripadvisor, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities we control, or in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary of expected cash profits or losses. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, except for certain transactions as pertaining to the classification of TheFork as a discontinued operation, discussed below. One of our subsidiaries that operates in China has variable interests in affiliated entities in China in order to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, which restrict foreign investment in internet content provision businesses. Although we do not own the capital stock of these Chinese affiliates, we consolidate their results as we are the primary beneficiary of the cash losses or profits of these variable interest affiliates and have the power to direct the activity of these affiliates. Our variable interest entities’ financial results were not material for all periods presented. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method, the fair value option, as available-for-sale securities or at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, as appropriate.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, we condensed or omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current period presentation, none of which were material to the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as pertaining to the classification of TheFork as a discontinued operation, discussed below. There was no impact to total assets, total liabilities, total net income (loss) or total equity for the periods presented. Our interim unaudited condensed 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 condensed 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

10


 

year ended December 31, 2025, which was previously filed with the SEC (the “2025 Annual Report”). The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.

Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“LTRIP”) and Tripadvisor Merger (the “Merger”) and the Loan Agreement

On April 29, 2025, the Merger between the Company and LTRIP closed. The Merger was accounted for as a repurchase of the Company’s common stock previously held by LTRIP. The amount allocated to treasury stock totaled $436.5 million, consisting of: (i) aggregate cash paid of $410.7 million (including $19.1 million of direct expenses and fees associated with the repurchase) and common stock consideration paid (3,037,959 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock, with a fair value of approximately $38.9 million); partially offset by (ii) $13.1 million in LTRIP net operating loss carryforwards, tax effected, retained by the Company, which was recorded as an asset to deferred income taxes, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2025. Prior to the closing of the Merger, on March 20, 2025, the Company provided a loan to LTRIP (the “Loan Agreement”) for $326.7 million to enable LTRIP to repurchase or settle certain of LTRIP’s outstanding debt prior to the close of the Merger, which was recorded to “stockholder note receivable - related party” as a reduction to stockholders’ equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. Upon the closing of the Merger, the loan balance was included in the aggregate transaction price and, therefore, no longer payable to the Company by LTRIP. Refer to “Note 1: Organization and Business Description”, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion of the Merger transaction and “Note 12: Stockholders' Equity” below for further information regarding the repurchase and subsequent retirement of the Company's common stock repurchased in this transaction.

Sale of TheFork

On June 14, 2026, the Company entered into a put option agreement (the “Put Option Agreement”) with American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“American Express”) to sell the legal entities comprising the Company's online restaurant reservation and management platform in Europe known as “TheFork” (the “Business”) for $700.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Pursuant to the Put Option Agreement, American Express provided an irrevocable commitment to acquire TheFork. On August 1, 2026, following the completion of the required consultation process with the relevant French Works Council, the Company exercised the put option. On August 2, 2026, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with American Express to sell TheFork. On November 1, 2026, the Company consummated the sale of the Business to American Express pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. The total net cash consideration received at closing was approximately $741.0 million, reflecting customary adjustments to the purchase price, including closing working capital, cash, and indebtedness, and net of transaction related expenses paid at closing. The Company anticipates recognizing an estimated gain on sale of approximately $487.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2026. However, the final net cash consideration and gain on sale amounts may differ materially, as these amounts remain subject to change based on final adjustments according to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Upon execution of the Put Option Agreement, the assets and liabilities of TheFork business met the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale. In addition, the accounting requirements for reporting TheFork business as a discontinued operation were also satisfied as the transaction constitutes a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of TheFork business and determined that those factors for discontinued operations presentation were met. As such, the financial results of TheFork business are classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts, percentages, and any discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the results from continuing operations, except for the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, which are presented on a combined continuing and discontinued operations basis. Refer to Note 3: “Discontinued Operations” for further information. Furthermore, upon classification of TheFork business as a discontinued operation, the Company determined that TheFork is no longer a reportable segment. The Company continued to own and operate TheFork business until the closing of the transaction resulting in the sale of TheFork. The Company's continuing operations now consist of two reportable segments: (1) Experiences, and (2) Hotels and Other. All prior period segment disclosure information has been recast to conform to the current reporting structure. Refer to “Note 14: Segment Information” for further information.

Intercompany transactions related to existing commercial agreements between the Company and TheFork, expected to continue post-divestiture, are presented separately between the Company's continuing and discontinued operations. These transactions were previously eliminated in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this change. This change had no impact on the Company’s total net income (loss) and did not have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concurrently with the consummation of the transaction on November 1, 2026, the Company and American Express entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain transition services and access to services available through the Company's existing licensing agreements for a maximum period of up to 12 months, depending on the

11


 

service to be provided, in order to facilitate the transition. The services to be provided by the Company under the TSA are considered usual and customary and include finance, information technology, human resources and certain other administrative services.

Risks and Uncertainties

The U.S. and other countries have seen increased economic uncertainty (including with respect to tariffs, the threat of tariffs and changes in trade policies), market volatility, elevated levels of inflation and fluctuating discretionary spending patterns by consumers, all of which may impact our business. If macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, consumer demand and spending may decline, we may not be able to pass on increased costs to our customers and any inability to navigate the macroeconomic environment could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Natural disasters, public health-related events, political instability, geopolitical conflicts, including the evolving events in the Middle East, Iran, and between Ukraine and Russia, acts of terrorism, fluctuations in currency values, and changes in global economic conditions and/or legislation and regulation are examples of other events that could have a negative impact on the travel industry, and as a result, our financial results.

Refer to “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” under “Certain Risks and Concentrations” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion of additional risks, such as credit risk and concentration risk with customers.

Accounting Estimates

We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income or loss during any period. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) recoverability of goodwill of our Hotels and Other reporting unit; and (ii) accounting for income taxes. Refer to “Note 6: Goodwill” and “Note 9: Income Taxes” for information regarding the significant judgments required in our Hotels and Other reporting unit goodwill impairment analysis during the third quarter of 2026 and significant income tax estimates, respectively.

Seasonality

Consumer travel expenditures have historically followed a seasonal pattern. Correspondingly, travel partner advertising investments, and therefore our revenue and operating profits, have also historically followed a seasonal pattern. Our financial performance tends to be highest in the second and third quarters of a given year, which includes the seasonal peak in consumer demand, including travel experiences taken, and traveler accommodation stays, compared to the first and fourth quarters, which represent seasonal low points. In addition, during the first half of the year, experience bookings typically exceed the amount of completed experiences, resulting in higher cash flow related to working capital; while during the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter, this pattern reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal fluctuations, such as significant shifts in our business mix, adverse economic conditions or economic uncertainty, public health-related events, as well as other factors.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our accounting policies since December 31, 2025, as described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies”, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance that clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for the 2026 annual period, including the interim reporting periods within. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2026 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

12


 

In July 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance was effective for the 2026 annual period, including the interim reporting periods within. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2026 prospectively and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The guidance requires tabular footnote disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, included within each interim and annual income statement's expense caption, as applicable. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.

In September 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted.

In December 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which clarifies the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The guidance provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

We are currently considering the timing of adoption and are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting these newly issued accounting rules on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The operating results of the discontinued operations only reflect revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to TheFork business that are no longer included in continuing operations. Certain shared costs, primarily personnel costs, previously allocated to TheFork reportable segment, do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting classification and are reported within continuing operations for all periods presented (or “stranded costs”). These costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are $0.9 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

(1) The assets and liabilities held for sale from discontinued operations are classified as current on the September 30, 2026 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet because the transaction was expected to close within one year of the balance sheet date. The transaction subsequently closed on November 1, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, held for sale classification for TheFork did not exist, therefore its assets and liabilities retain original current and noncurrent classification. In addition, as of

14


 

September 30, 2026, an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $21.4 million was excluded from the table above which will be netted against the gain on the sale of TheFork upon the closing of the transaction.

(2) Beginning in June 2026, the Company ceased recognition of depreciation and amortization of TheFork's long-lived assets upon determination it met held for sale criteria under GAAP.

(3) TheFork holds collateralized notes ("Notes Receivable") issued by a privately held company with a total principal amount of $20.0 million, classified as held-to-maturity, as TheFork has concluded it has the positive intent and ability to hold the notes until maturity, with 50% due June 2028 and the remaining 50% due June 2030, or the date on which there is a change in control, whichever is earlier. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Notes Receivable was $9.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, net of accumulated allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 4: REVENUE RECOGNITION

There have been no material changes to our principal revenue streams, revenue recognition policies, performance obligations, description of and timing of services, or customer payment terms since December 31, 2025, as described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report. There was no significant revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. We have applied a practical expedient and do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations that have an original expected duration of less than one year. The Company expects to complete its performance obligations within one year from the initial transaction date. The value related to our remaining or partially satisfied performance obligations relates to subscription services that are satisfied over time or services that are recognized at a point in time, but not yet achieved.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major products/revenue sources. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective under GAAP, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled “Sale of TheFork”, and “Note 14: Segment Information”, our business consists of two reportable segments – (1) Experiences and (2) Hotels and Other. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue to segment revenue is included below:

Our revenue is recognized primarily at a point in time for both reportable segments.

Deferred Revenue

Contract liabilities generally include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized as revenue as the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied, which we present as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet, including amounts that are refundable. As of January 1, 2026, we had $53.3 million recorded as deferred revenue on our

15


 

unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $5.2 million and $47.7 million was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, refunds due to cancellations by travelers were $0.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2025, we had $46.8 million recorded as deferred revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $3.1 million and $40.1 million was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, refunds due to cancellations by travelers was not material, while this amount was $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our deferred revenue primarily results from the timing differences between when we receive customer payments and the time in which we satisfy our performance obligations.

NOTE 5: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations are based on observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations are based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $706.8 million and $978.0 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, which consisted of available on demand bank deposits and time deposits, as well as money market funds, with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, in each case, with major global financial institutions. We had no outstanding investments classified as either short-term or long-term marketable securities as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025, and there were no purchases or sales of any marketable securities during and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy, as well as their classification on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

We did not have any unrealized gains and losses related to our cash equivalents.

We generally classify cash equivalents and marketable securities, if any, within Level 1 and Level 2 as we value these financial instruments using quoted market prices (Level 1) or alternative pricing sources (Level 2). The valuation technique we use to measure the fair value of money market funds is derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values for Level 2 investments are considered “Level 2” valuations because they are obtained from independent pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. Our procedures include controls to ensure

16


 

that appropriate fair values are recorded, including comparing the fair values obtained from our independent pricing services against fair values obtained from another independent source.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and deferred merchant payables, were carried at cost on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items. Accounts receivable, including contract assets as described below, as well as certain other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost and are carried at cost less an allowance for expected credit losses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to present the net amount expected to be collected.

Accounts Receivable, net

The following table provides information about the opening and closing balances of accounts receivable, including contract assets, net of allowance for expected credit losses, from contracts with customers as of the dates presented:

The difference between the opening and closing balances of our contract assets primarily results from the timing difference between when we satisfy our performance obligations and the time when the principal completes the transaction service. There were no significant changes in contract assets during the periods ended September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 related to business combinations, impairments, cumulative catch-ups or other material adjustments.

We estimate the fair value of the 2026 Senior Notes and Term Loan B Facility based on recently reported market transactions and/or prices for identical or similar financial instruments obtained from a third-party pricing source.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Non-Marketable Investments

Equity Securities Accounted for under the Equity Method

The Company owns a 40% equity investment in Chelsea Investment Holding Company PTE Ltd., which is majority owned by Ctrip Investment Holding Ltd, a majority-owned subsidiary of Trip.com Group Limited. The Company accounts for this minority investment under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. The carrying value of this minority investment was $25.0 million and $25.9 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025,

17


 

respectively, and is included in non-marketable investments on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, representing our share of the investee’s net loss in other income (expenses), net within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, representing our share of the investee’s net loss in other income (expenses), net within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates this investment for impairment when factors indicate that a decline in the value of its investment has occurred and the carrying amount of its investment may not be recoverable. An impairment loss, based on the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment based on Level 3 inputs, is recognized in earnings when an impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not record any impairment loss on this equity investment.

The Company maintains various commercial agreements with Chelsea Investment Holding Company PTE Ltd. and/or its subsidiaries. Transactions under these agreements are considered related party transactions, and were not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Other non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, goodwill (see Note 6: “Goodwill”), intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized or the underlying investment is sold. Such fair value measurements, if necessary, are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.

Impairment

We assess goodwill, which is not amortized, for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. Observing persistent and challenging business trends in 2026, during the third quarter of 2026, the Company updated its long range forecast for the Hotels and Other reporting unit to reflect the accelerated decline in recent financial performance, in addition to a decline in expected future profitability of the Hotels and Other reporting unit, as compared to the outyears forecast used in its previous impairment analysis. As a result, the Company determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred as of September 30, 2026. These trends are largely due to the sustained acceleration of traffic acquisition headwinds negatively impacting this business due to the changes in the search landscape. In addition, the Company experienced a significant decline in its stock price and market capitalization during the third quarter of 2026, with its stock price declining nearly 40% from June 30, 2026 to September 30, 2026. Therefore, the Company performed an interim impairment test of its Hotels and Other reporting unit as of the last day of the third quarter, or September 30, 2026. Based on these trends, noted above, and the resulting negative impact on this reporting unit, we concluded it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the Hotels and Other reporting unit was less than its respective carrying value. Therefore the Company chose to proceed directly to a quantitative analysis. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment of $369.5 million in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2026 for the Hotels and Other reporting unit.

The fair value of the Hotels and Other reporting unit using a quantitative analysis was determined with the assistance of a third party specialist using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, or income approach calculation (Level 3). Fair value assessments of a reporting unit are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs used in their estimate. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, discount rates, and the long-term growth rate used to estimate terminal value. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analysis for the Hotels and Other reporting unit were based on the Company’s most recent forecast, and for years beyond the periods covered by the forecast, the Company’s estimate of forecasted long-term growth rate. The discount rate used in the DCF analysis is intended to reflect the risks, which consider macroeconomic and industry specific factors inherent in the expected future cash flows of the reporting unit.

18


 

In conjunction with the quantitative analysis performed for the Hotels and Other reporting unit, as of September 30, 2026, the Company also performed a quantitative analysis' of its Experiences reporting unit. In addition, and separately, the Company performed a quantitative analysis for its indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of Tripadvisor trade name and trademarks, using the relief-from-royalty method. The Company concluded the estimated fair values of its Experiences reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangibles were substantially in excess of their carrying values. In addition, prior to performing the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its reporting units' definite-lived long-lived assets (including capitalized website development) to determine if the carrying amount of its identified asset groups may not be fully recoverable, and concluded the carrying amounts were recoverable as of September 30, 2026, and no impairment was identified.

As of September 30, 2026, in order to corroborate its fair value conclusion, the Company combined the estimated fair values for its reporting units and performed a market capitalization reconciliation to validate the reasonableness of the implied control premium. The Company calculated the market capitalization using both the stock price as of September 30, 2026 as well as the average stock price over a reasonable period of time preceding September 30, 2026. Based on this reconciliation, the Company believes the implied control premium used to be reasonable.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accumulated goodwill impairment losses totaled $372.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively; all related to the Hotels and Other segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company approved and subsequently initiated a series of cost savings actions following a decision to realign its operating model across its Experiences and Hotels and Other segments to support the Company’s positioning as an experiences-led and AI-enabled company. As a result of these actions taken, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of $7.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which consisted of employee severance and related benefits, primarily in our Hotels and Other segment. We expect the majority of unpaid costs as of September 30, 2026 to be fully disbursed by the second quarter of 2027.

Amended Credit Agreement

Credit Facility

 

We are party to the Amended Credit Agreement with a group of lenders which, among other things, provides for a $500.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of June 29, 2028. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings from the Credit Facility and $2.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of issued undrawn standby letters of credit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, total interest expense and commitment fees on our Credit Facility were not material.

Term Loan B Facility

On July 8, 2024, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company issued a $500.0 million Term Loan B Facility maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.75%. On March 20, 2025, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350.0 million, also maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on SOFR plus 2.75% (the “Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility”). The Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility was offered at 98.56% of par. The proceeds from the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility were used to repay the Company's 2026 Senior Notes. We refer to the original Term Loan B Facility, combined with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, as the “Term Loan B Facility.”

As of September 30, 2026, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 6.92% and, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 the weighted-average effective interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 6.76% and 6.72%, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 7.36% and, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 the weighted-average effective interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 7.37% and 7.34%, respectively. Principal payments of $6.4 million were made during both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, unpaid interest on the Term Loan B Facility was not material. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $13.8 million and $40.8 million of interest expense, respectively, while during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $15.3 million and $40.0 million of interest expense, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2026 Senior Notes

On April 1, 2026, upon maturity, the Company repaid the $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes, including accrued interest of $0.4 million, funded by cash on hand. As a result of this transaction, the Company has no further obligations under the indenture governing the 2026 Senior Notes, and the related security interest and liens have been released.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, our effective interest rate, including debt issuance costs, was approximately 0.30%, and total interest expense incurred from the 2026 Senior Notes was not material in any period. As of December 31, 2025, unpaid interest on the 2026 Senior Notes was also not material.

In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2026 Senior Notes and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions at a cost of $34.7 million.

In connection with the maturity and repayment of the 2026 Senior Notes on April 1, 2026, as discussed above, the Capped Calls expired unexercised.

Refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report, for additional information pertaining to redemption, conversion, repurchase features and other information regarding the Amended Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility, the Term Loan B Facility, 2026 Senior Notes and Capped Calls.

NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES

Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period; accordingly, we measure our income tax expense from continuing operations using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An enterprise is required, at the end of each interim reporting period, to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

Our income tax benefit from continuing operations was $29.2 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and our income tax provision from continuing operations was $7.2 million and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The change in our income tax provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to a $31.6 million deferred tax benefit recognized in association with the goodwill impairment charge related to the Hotels and Other segment recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a $31.6 million deferred tax benefit recorded during the third quarter of 2026, as discussed above, partially offset by the tax effects of stock-based compensation.

Our accounting policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and income tax liabilities as part of our income tax expense. As of September 30, 2026, we had an accrued interest liability of $26.2 million, which was included in unrecognized tax benefits in other long-term liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and no penalties were accrued.

We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2018 tax year and have various ongoing audits for foreign and state income tax returns. These examinations may lead to proposed or ordinary course adjustments to our taxes. We are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2018. As of September 30, 2026, no material assessments have resulted, except as noted below regarding our 2012 through 2016 HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) audit.

In January 2021, we received from HMRC an issue closure notice relating to adjustments for 2012 through 2016 tax years. These proposed adjustments are related to deductions for intercompany financing and would result in an increase to income tax expense in an estimated range of $20.0 million to $30.0 million, which is inclusive of transition tax benefits and exclusive of interest expense, at the close of the audit if HMRC prevails. We disagree with the proposed adjustments, and we intend to defend our position through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies. We are also currently subject to audit by HMRC in tax years 2017 through 2023. If HMRC were to seek adjustments of a similar nature through a closure notice for transactions in these years, we could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. Our policy is to review and update tax reserves as facts and circumstances change.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our commitments and contingencies since December 31, 2025, except as discussed below. Refer to “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report.

As noted in “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled “Sale of TheFork”, on June 14, 2026, the Company entered into a put option agreement with American Express to sell TheFork, for $700.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Following the completion of the required consultation process with the French Works Council on July 30, 2026, the Company exercised the put option and, on August 2, 2026, entered into the definitive Equity Purchase Agreement with American Express to sell

21


 

TheFork. On November 1, 2026, the Company consummated the sale of TheFork. Refer to “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled “Sale of TheFork”, for further information.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are party to legal, regulatory and administrative matters, including threats thereof, arising out of, or in connection with our operations. These matters may involve claims involving, but not limited to, intellectual property rights (including privacy rights), tax matters (including value-added, excise, digital services, sales and use, transient occupancy and accommodation taxes), regulatory compliance (including competition, consumer protection matters, data privacy and cybersecurity matters), contractual claims (including related to our material agreements or other contracts), defamation and reputational claims, personal injury claims, labor and employment matters and commercial disputes. Periodically, we review the status of all significant outstanding matters to assess any potential financial exposure. We record the estimated loss in our consolidated statement of operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and is material. We provide disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both of these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the consolidated financial statements. We base accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not believe that the final disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, except for certain known income tax matters discussed in “Note 9: Income Taxes.” However, the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from our estimates. Finally, there may be claims or actions pending or threatened against us of which we are currently not aware and the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on us. All legal fees incurred by the Company related to any regulatory and legal matters are expensed in the period incurred.

We are under audit by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax matters. We have reserved for potential losses that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of audits could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the period for which that determination is made. Refer to “Note 9: Income Taxes” for further information on potential contingencies pertaining to ongoing income tax audits.

(1)
Inclusive of approximately 89,000 DSUs and 36,000 RSAs granted to certain non-employee directors during the second quarter of 2026. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The DSUs shall vest one year after the grant date. However, settlement of the shares represented by DSUs that vest will occur on January 15th of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the director experiences a "separation of service" as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Each RSA represents an award of one share of the Company’s common stock subject to a one-year service-based vesting condition. Prior to vesting, the director is entitled to receive ordinary cash dividends, which are automatically reinvested in additional restricted shares subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying award.
(2)
Inclusive of approximately 834,000 shares of common stock withheld in connection with RSUs vesting to satisfy required employee tax withholding requirements. Shares which could have been issued in connection with the vesting of RSUs but were instead withheld under net share settlement remain in the authorized but unissued pool under the Tripadvisor, Inc. 2023 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) and can be reissued by the Company. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities due to net share settlements are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

PSUs generally vest in two equal annual installments on December 31 in the first and second years following the grant date, based on the extent to which the Company achieves certain financial metrics relative to targets established by the Company’s Compensation and Section 16 Committees of its Board of Directors (jointly, the “Compensation Committee”). The estimated grant-date fair value of PSUs is measured based on the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant, calculated upon the establishment of performance targets, and amortized over the requisite service period. Based upon actual attainment relative to the target financial metrics, employees have the ability to receive up to 200% of the target number originally granted, or to be issued none at all. Probable outcome for performance-based awards is updated based upon changes in actual and forecasted operating results or expected achievement of performance goals, as applicable, and the impact of modifications, if any.
(2)
Inclusive of approximately 37,000 shares of common stock withheld in connection with PSUs vesting to satisfy required employee tax withholding requirements. Shares which could have been issued in connection with the vesting of PSUs but were instead withheld under net share settlement remain in the authorized but unissued pool under the 2023 Plan and can be reissued by the Company under the 2023 Plan. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities due to net share settlements are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statement of cash flows.
(3)
MSUs cancellations reflect market-based performance targets not being attained by the end of the performance period.

The total aggregate fair value of RSUs and PSUs which vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $76.5 million. As of September 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards, substantially RSUs (including PSUs), was $126.9 million, comprised of $109.7 million from continuing operations, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years, and $17.2 million from discontinued operations.

NOTE 12: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Repurchases of Treasury Shares

On September 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250.0 million in shares of our common stock under a share repurchase program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $110.0 million remaining available to repurchase shares of its common stock under this share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 2.8 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock were repurchased under the share repurchase program at an average price of $14.22 per share, exclusive of fees and commissions, or $40.0 million in the aggregate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, any excise tax incurred for repurchases made under the share repurchase program was not material.

In addition, and in a separate transaction, as noted in “Note 1: Basis of Presentation,” under the section titled “Liberty Tripadvisor Holdings, Inc. and Tripadvisor Merger Agreement and Loan Agreement,” on April 29, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 26.8 million shares of Tripadvisor common stock and Class B common stock previously held by LTRIP in the Merger at an average price of approximately $16.27 per share, or $436.5 million in the aggregate, inclusive of transaction costs related to the repurchase of these shares. Refer to “Note 1: Organization and Business Description,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion of the Merger transaction. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company received an excise tax refund of $0.6 million from the repurchase of common stock from the Merger, which was recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of treasury stock.

Retirement of Treasury Shares

On April 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the retirement of all common stock and Class B common stock held as treasury stock by the Company, thereby canceling approximately 53.1 million shares of the Company's common stock, with a carrying value of approximately $1.3 billion. The retirement of these shares resulted in a reduction in both the carrying value of treasury stock and additional paid-in capital of approximately $1.3 billion on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. There was no net effect to the Company’s total stockholders’ equity balance on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the retirement of these shares.

Potential common shares, consisting of outstanding stock options, RSUs (including PSUs, MSUs, DSUs, and RSAs), and those issuable under the 2026 Senior Notes, totaling approximately 10.8 million shares and 21.8 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and approximately 6.9 million shares and 10.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, have been excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, potential common shares from certain performance-based awards of approximately 1.6 million shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and approximately1.6 million shares and 1.8 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, for which all targets required to trigger vesting had not been achieved, were also excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares used to compute Diluted EPS.

NOTE 14: SEGMENT INFORMATION

TheFork was designated a discontinued operation during the second quarter of 2026, as discussed in “Note 3: Discontinued Operations”, and as a result, the Company determined that TheFork is no longer a reportable segment. The Company's continuing operations now consists of two reportable segments: (1) Experiences and (2) Hotels and Other. All prior period segment disclosure information has been recast to conform to the current reporting structure. The nature of the services provided and revenue sources by product, are summarized by reportable segment in “Note 4: Revenue Recognition.”

Our operating segments are determined based on how our chief executive officer, who also serves as our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages our business, regularly accesses information, and evaluates performance for operating

25


 

decision-making purposes, including allocation of operating and capital resources. Adjusted EBITDA is our reported measure of segment profit and a key measure used by our CODM and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of our business as a whole and for our individual operating segments, and on which internal budgets and forecasts are based and approved. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus: (1) (provision) benefit for income taxes; (2) other income (expense), net; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (6) legal reserves, settlements and other (including indirect tax reserves related to audit settlements and the impact of one-time changes resulting from enacted indirect tax legislation); (7) restructuring and other related reorganization costs; (8) transaction related expenses (including non-operational costs related to significant shareholder activism, which includes third-party advisory, legal, and other professional fees); and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring.

Stranded costs, which consist of certain shared personnel and insurance costs, previously allocated to TheFork reportable segment that do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting classification, are reported within continuing operations for all periods presented. As a result, effective the second quarter of 2026, we changed our corporate overhead allocation methodology to re-allocate these stranded costs among the remaining operating segments included within continuing operations. Our segment presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 has been restated to reflect the re-allocation of these costs. Stranded costs of $0.9 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, have been included within segment profits for continuing operations and re-allocated among Experiences and Hotels and Other.

The following tables present our reportable segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss) from continuing operations. In addition, we do not report total assets, capital expenditures and related depreciation expense by segment as our CODM does not use this information to evaluate operating segment performance. Accordingly, we do not regularly provide such information by segment to our CODM. Intersegment revenue and expenses are not material for all periods presented.

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 1, 2026, the Company consummated the sale of TheFork. Refer to Note 1: “Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled “Sale of TheFork” for further information.

On November 4, 2026, the Company initiated a restructuring plan, designed to further simplify its Hotels and Other segment. This cost saving action primarily includes a reduction of workforce, with the substantial portion of the costs relating to severance payments and employee benefits. As a result, the Company expects to incur estimated pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of approximately $15 million to $20 million. This amount is expected to be expensed primarily in the fourth quarter of 2026, with any remaining amount expensed during 2027.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report, and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2025 Annual Report.

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and projections about future events and are based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential benefits of the completed sale of TheFork, possible uses of the net proceeds and the provision of services under the Transition Services Agreement, including the duration of those services. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our 2025 Annual Report, Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Risks associated with the completed divestiture include that the parties may not realize the potential benefits in the near term or at all; liabilities or tax consequences related to the divestiture that are not known, probable or estimable at this time; difficulties or unexpected costs relating to segregating the technology and data platforms of TheFork from retained operations; disruption of management time away from core operations; and risks related to operating without TheFork. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements; however, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. We are not under any obligation to, and do not intend to, publicly update or review any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements will not be realized. Please carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

Overview

The Tripadvisor group (the “Group”) is a portfolio of global online platforms purpose-built to connect travelers with experiences, accommodations, restaurants and other relevant travel destination points of interest (“POIs”). Our mission is to be the world's most trusted source for travel and experiences.

We offer travelers the ability to search, discover, book, and review experiences, hotels, and restaurants seamlessly through our primary consumer-facing brands: Viator, our two-sided marketplace for experiences and Tripadvisor, our travel planning and guidance platform. Tripadvisor offers authentic traveler-submitted reviews and content, travel planning tools and related technology to instill confidence for travelers in every part of their travel journey.

The Company's strategy is focused on growing and scaling its Experiences marketplace, which we believe represents an attractive long-term value creation opportunity, while optimizing our legacy offerings within the Hotels and Other segment for profitability. As part of its Experiences strategy, on June 14, 2026, the Company entered into a put option agreement for the sale of TheFork. On August 1, 2026, the Company delivered notice of exercise of the put option agreement, and on November 1, 2026 the Company consummated the sale of TheFork. Refer to the section below titled “Sale of TheFork” for further discussion.

29


 

The Experiences segment includes Viator, a pure-play, experiences online travel agency (“OTA”), offering a two-sided global marketplace for tours, activities, and attractions; it also includes Tripadvisor and third party points-of-sale for experiences. Viator's global online marketplace merchandises bookable experiences to travelers that typically have relatively higher purchase intent either pre-destination or in-destination. Tripadvisor is an online global travel guidance platform that also merchandises experiences to its audience, which more commonly serves travelers in the discovery and planning phases. Both brands leverage Viator’s centralized supply platform that supports operator onboarding, operator inventory management, bookings, payments, fraud prevention, and customer support. In addition, the Company also syndicates its experiences supply to other third-party endemic and non-endemic demand partners. The Hotels and Other segment primarily consists of the Tripadvisor hotel and restaurant guidance platform, which includes hotel metasearch, and related advertising offerings primarily for hotels and restaurants.

The Group’s globally recognized brands and extensive user-generated content (“UGC”) support traveler search, discovery, and planning, which in-turn generates high-intent demand for its experiences and dining marketplace offerings as well as for commercial partners in the hotels category and advertising opportunities for endemic and non-endemic advertisers. In turn, clickstream and behavioral data reflecting traveler intent, transactional data from its experiences and dining marketplaces, UGC, and structured and unstructured data related to millions of POIs attractions, and destinations enhance the customer experience through product enhancements and personalization, reinforcing the discovery and engagement loop over time. In addition, the breadth, depth, and scale of first party data is uniquely valuable in the Company’s pursuit to innovate in the application of artificial intelligence (“AI”) for travel and experiences discovery, planning, and booking.

Trends

The online travel industry in which we operate is large, highly dynamic and competitive. Below, we describe current trends affecting our overall business and segments, including opportunities, but also uncertainties that may impact our ability to execute on our objectives and strategies.

Our Experiences business is a two-sided online marketplace, which has exhibited consistent revenue growth and improving profitability, prior to the macro-environment headwinds during 2026, as discussed below. The Company’s total revenue and adjusted EBITDA continue to shift more towards Experiences, as shown in our segment financial information. As of the year ended December 31, 2025, the Experiences segment represented approximately 55% of the Company’s total revenue from continuing operations and 30% of our adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. As the Company continues to execute on its growth strategies and invest in Experiences, we expect to continue to see our media-based and click-based advertising offerings become a smaller share of our overall revenue and profit mix, as has been the trend during the first nine months of 2026.

Our highest strategic priority is to extend our position as a leader in the experiences category. The global experiences market is large, growing, highly fragmented, and under penetrated, with the vast majority of bookings still occurring through traditional offline sources. We expect to benefit from ongoing market tailwinds as consumers increasingly book experiences online and consumer behavior continues to allocate more discretionary spending to travel and experiences and away from physical goods. These trends present attractive growth opportunities for our business, as well as to many competitors. Given the competitive positioning of our businesses relative to the attractive growth prospects in the experiences category, we expect to continue to invest in this category across Tripadvisor Group to continue growing revenue, operating scale, and market share for the long-term.

In our Hotels and Other segment, we generate a significant amount of direct traffic from search engines, including Google, through search engine optimization (“SEO”) performance. We believe our SEO traffic acquisition performance has been negatively impacted by search engines changing their search result placement and underlying algorithms to increase the prominence of their own products in search results across our business. We believe that our Hotels and Other segment will continue to be impacted by these challenges and others, including AI overviews displacing top ranked links, reduced click-through rates and a shift towards platform based non-traditional search.

Recent Developments

Sale of TheFork

On June 14, 2026, the Company entered into a put option agreement (the “Put Option Agreement”) with American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“American Express”) to sell the legal entities comprising the Company's online restaurant reservation and management platform in Europe known as “TheFork” (the “Business”) for $700.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. On August 1, 2026, following the completion of the required consultation process with the relevant French Works Council on July 30, 2026, the Company exercised the put option. On August 2, 2026, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with American Express to sell TheFork. On November 1, 2026, the Company consummated the sale of the Business to

30


 

American Express pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. The total net cash consideration received at closing was approximately $741.0 million, reflecting customary adjustments to the purchase price, including closing working capital, cash, and indebtedness, and net of transaction related expenses paid at closing. The Company anticipates recognizing an estimated gain on sale of approximately $487.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2026. However, the final net cash consideration and gain on sale amounts may differ materially, as these amounts remain subject to change based on final adjustments according to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Upon execution of the Put Option Agreement, the assets and liabilities of TheFork business met the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale. In addition, the accounting requirements for reporting TheFork business as a discontinued operation were also satisfied as the transaction constitutes a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts, percentages, and any discussions below reflect only the results of operations and financial condition of our continuing operations. Furthermore, upon designation of TheFork business as a discontinued operation, the Company determined that TheFork was no longer a reportable segment. The Company continued to own and operate TheFork business until the closing of the transaction resulting in the sale of TheFork. The Company's continuing operations now consist of two reportable segments: (1) Experiences, and (2) Hotels and Other. All prior period segment disclosure information has been recast to conform to the current reporting structure. Refer to Note 3: “Discontinued Operations” and “Note 14: Segment Information” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Macro-Environment Headwinds

During 2026, specifically beginning in late February and throughout March, the conflict in the Middle East, severe flooding in Hawaii and civil unrest in Mexico, two key destination markets, as well as extreme weather-related events and travel conditions throughout May and June within Europe and the U.S., had an adverse impact on our Experiences business. Although Experiences showed growth across all reported measures through February, as a result of these macro-events, during 2026, we did observe a negative impact on booking volumes, gross booking value, and revenue, as well as an increase in cancellation rates across all points of sale in our Experiences segment. This negatively impacted our overall growth rates across our reported measures during 2026 in the Experiences segment. We also estimate that any ongoing geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including evolving events in the Middle East and eastern Europe, may continue to have an impact on the travel industry and, as a result, continue to impact our financial results in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Hotels and Other Goodwill Impairment

The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $369.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 for the Hotels and Other reporting unit. Refer to Note 6: “Goodwill” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Actions

Fourth quarter of 2026

On November 4, 2026, the Company initiated a restructuring plan, designed to further simplify its Hotels and Other segment. This cost saving action primarily includes a reduction of workforce, with the substantial portion of the costs relating to severance payments and employee benefits. As a result, the Company expects to incur estimated pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of approximately $15 million to $20 million. This amount is expected to be expensed primarily in the fourth quarter of 2026, with any remaining amount expensed during 2027. Refer to “Note 15: Subsequent Events” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Fourth quarter of 2025

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company approved and subsequently initiated a series of cost savings actions following a decision to realign its operating model across its Experiences and Hotels and Other segments to support the Company’s positioning as an experiences-led and AI-enabled company. As a result of these actions taken, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of $0.9 million and $7.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, which consisted of employee severance and related benefits, primarily in our Hotels and Other segment. These initiatives are intended to better align the Company's organizational structure and resources with its strategic priorities, including continued investment in Experiences and the optimization of its legacy offerings.

These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2026 and represent transformational initiatives of the Company's operating structure, which are not reflective of the Company's normal and recurring business operations. The multi-period nature of these actions generally reflects the operational challenges of executing a global workforce reduction across multiple

31


 

jurisdictions, including compliance with local statutory requirements in certain international locations, and the timing of employee notifications and departures. Refer to “Note 7: Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities” and “Note 14: Segment Information” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information related to these actions.

Fourth quarter of 2024

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company approved and subsequently initiated a set of actions across its business in order to reduce its cost structure, improve operational efficiencies, and realign its workforce with its strategic initiatives. As a result of actions taken under this initiative, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring and other related reorganization costs of $0.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, which consisted of employee severance and related benefits, primarily in our Hotels and Other segment.

Repayment of 2026 Senior Notes and Expiration of Capped Calls

On April 1, 2026, the Company repaid its 0.25% Convertible 2026 Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Senior Notes”), at maturity, for $345.4 million, consisting of the full outstanding principal and accrued interest, funded by cash on hand. In connection with the maturity and repayment of the 2026 Senior Notes on April 1, 2026, the Capped Calls also expired unexercised. Refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Employees

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 2,455 employees, of which approximately 870 are employees of TheFork. Approximately 70%, 26%, and 4% of the Company’s current employees are based in Europe, the U.S., and the rest of world, respectively. Additionally, we use independent contractors to supplement our workforce. We believe we have good relationships with our employees and contractors, including relationships with employees represented by international works councils or other similar organizations.

Seasonality

Consumer travel expenditures have historically followed a seasonal pattern. Correspondingly, travel partner advertising investments, and therefore our revenue and operating profits, have also historically followed a seasonal pattern. Our financial performance tends to be highest in the second and third quarters of a given year, which includes the seasonal peak in consumer demand, including travel experiences taken, and traveler accommodation stays, compared to the first and fourth quarters, which represent seasonal low points. In addition, during the first half of the year, experience bookings typically exceed the amount of completed experiences, resulting in higher cash flow related to working capital; while during the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter, this pattern reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal fluctuations, such as significant shifts in our business mix, adverse economic conditions or economic uncertainty, public health-related events, as well as other factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Annual Report, except for the addition of recoverability of goodwill in our Hotels and Other reporting unit, as noted in “Note 1: Basis of Presentation”, under the section titled Accounting Estimates, in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

As noted above, the Company recorded a $369.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge during the third quarter of 2026 in its Hotels and Other reporting unit. The valuation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgments about future cash flows, discount rate, and long-term growth rate, all of which are inherently uncertain and sensitive to market conditions. Following the impairment, the carrying amount of the Hotels and Other reporting unit approximates its estimated fair value. Therefore, any adverse changes in these assumptions, if the reporting unit does not achieve its forecasted results, or if the Company's stock price and market capitalization decline further, the Company may be required to recognize additional goodwill impairment charges, which could be material. As of September 30, 2026, $44.3 million of goodwill remains allocated to this reporting unit. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the estimated fair value calculation used for the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company applied a hypothetical 1% decrease in the long-term growth rate and a 1% increase in the discount rate, resulting in an additional impairment amount for the reporting unit of approximately $14.0 million. Refer to “Note 6: Goodwill” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding this impairment.

Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies or new accounting pronouncements which required adoption had a significant impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since December 31, 2025, as compared to those described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report. During the second quarter of 2026, we reclassified the results of TheFork segment as discontinued operations in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented, as discussed above.

Key Operating Metrics

We use the operating metrics described below to assist us in measuring our operations performance, identifying trends, formulating projections and making strategic decisions for the Experiences segment. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating these metrics, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way. Management believes it is useful to monitor these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric. We regularly review our processes and may adjust how we calculate these metrics to improve their accuracy. We make these key metrics available to investors because we believe they are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and because they may be used by investors to help analyze the health of our business. None of these metrics should be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Number of Experiences Bookings

We define an experience booking as a single tour, activity, or attraction that can be purchased through Viator's platform for one or several travelers, prior to adjustments such as date changes, refunds, or cancellations. This metric is reported at the time the booking is made. As an example, a single experience booked in January for three travelers would be reported as one experience booking in the first quarter. We believe that the number of experiences bookings, an operational measure, is a useful indicator of the scale of our marketplace. The number of experiences booked were approximately 6.8 million and 18.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, an increase of approximately 2% and 6%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven through growth on Viator and third-party points of sale, partially offset by persistent SEO-related headwinds on the Tripadvisor point of sale.

Gross Booking Value (“GBV”)

GBV represents the total dollar value of experience bookings in a given period prior to any adjustments such as date changes, refunds or cancellations. GBV is an operational measure that provides an indication of total engagement and economic activity driven by our platform in a given period by all marketplace constituents (travelers, experiences operators, and partners). Management uses GBV for operational decision-making purposes to monitor the growth, scale, and reach of its online marketplace as well as assess the

35


 

health of its global ecosystem. Accordingly, management does not consider GBV to be an indicator of revenue or any other financial statement measure.

GBV reached $1.3 billion and $3.9 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, approximately flat and an increase of approximately 5%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to growth in the number of experience bookings as discussed above. These growth numbers were partially offset by persistent SEO-headwinds and the macro-environment related factors noted above, which negatively impacted bookings growth, and lower average bookings values across Tripadvisor points of sale and Viator, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025.

Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

Experiences segment revenue decreased by $9.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by persistent SEO-related headwinds on the Tripadvisor point of sale and macro-environment related factors, causing weakening demand for bookings and negatively impacting GBV growth, as well as increased cancellation rates during 2026. Experiences segment revenue increased by $10.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by bookings and GBV growth, as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by SEO-related headwinds on the Tripadvisor point of sale and macro-environment related factors that negatively impacted bookings growth and revenue, as well as increased cancellation rates during 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Experiences segment decreased by $14.2 million and $26.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 4.4 percentage points and 3.7 percentage points during three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in paid marketing costs combined with a decrease in revenue growth, as discussed above. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in paid marketing costs, partially offset by an increase in revenue growth, as discussed above. The decline in adjusted EBITDA margin during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in marketing costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by lower personnel costs as a percentage of revenue.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin by Segment” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA by segment divided by revenue by segment.

Hotels and Other segment revenue decreased by $44.9 million and $125.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, driven by declines across all revenue streams primarily from continued traffic acquisition headwinds in our free marketing channels, particularly SEO, as discussed further below.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Hotels and Other segment decreased by $22.5 million and $61.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, while adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 6.5 percentage points and 5.1 percentage points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in revenue, as noted

36


 

above, partially offset by a decrease in the segment's operating expenses of $22.4 million and $64.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025. This decrease was primarily related to a decrease in personnel costs due to a reduction in headcount related to cost reduction measures taken during the fourth quarter of 2025, and a decrease in marketing expenses as we continue to optimize for profitability. The decline in adjusted EBITDA margin during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in marketing costs as a percentage of revenue due to declines in free marketing channels, particularly SEO, related to the continued trend of traffic acquisition headwinds, and the resulting shift from free to paid marketing channels, as well as technology costs and cost of sales as a percent of revenue.

Hotels Revenue

Hotels revenue decreased by $33.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in hotel metasearch revenue. This decrease was driven primarily by a decline in revenue from free marketing channels, and to a lesser extent, paid marketing channels, from lower click volumes, as well as, a decrease in pricing as measured in cost-per-click rates (“CPCs”) in our hotel metasearch offering, although CPC's remain robust.

Hotels revenue decreased by $101.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in hotel metasearch revenue. This decrease was driven primarily by a decline in revenue from free marketing channels, and to a lesser extent, paid marketing channels, from lower click volumes, which more than offset an increase in pricing as measured in CPCs in our hotel metasearch offering. Growth in CPCs was due in part to certain product changes made that improved qualified referrals to our partners.

Media and Advertising Revenue

Media and advertising revenue primarily consists of revenue from display-based advertising (or “media advertising”) across our Tripadvisor Group platform and decreased $8.3 million and $15.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025. These decreases were primarily driven by declines in traditional display and programmatic advertising (together sometimes referred to as “on platform” advertising) that correlates closely with overall traffic volume, as well as macro-environment factors impacting advertising partner spending.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes click-based advertising and display-based advertising revenue from our cruise offering, as well as, Tripadvisor dining revenue. At the start of 2026, the Company no longer offered travelers access to vacation rentals, flights and rental cars offerings on its platform. Tripadvisor dining revenue includes affiliate marketing commissions earned primarily from restaurant reservation bookings on Tripadvisor-branded websites and mobile apps, fulfilled by TheFork, in addition to revenue earned from Hotels and Other’s own business-to-business (“B2B”) restaurant offerings. Other revenue decreased $3.2 million and $9.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to Tripadvisor dining revenue as we shift our strategic focus and simplify the management of our Hotels and Other segment, and to a lesser extent, the Company no longer offering vacation rentals, flights and rental cars offerings on our platform, as noted above.

Cost of sales increased $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense in Hotels and Other, partially offset by a decrease in digital service taxes. Cost of sales increased $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in credit card payment processing fees as a result of revenue growth in Experiences, an increase in bad debt expense in Hotels and Other, and to a lesser extent, media production costs and other transactional costs related to generating revenue in Hotels and Other. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in digital services taxes, resulting from the repeal of enacted tax legislation in Canada during 2026 related to digital service taxes, which includes a refund of $2.0 million realized during the second quarter of 2026.

Marketing

Marketing expenses (or advertising costs) consist of direct costs, including traffic generation costs from paid online traffic acquisition costs (including SEM and other online traffic acquisition costs), syndication costs and affiliate marketing commissions, social media costs, brand advertising (including connected television, traditional television and other offline advertising), promotions and public relations.

Marketing costs increased $0.6 million and $16.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in marketing costs in Experiences, in order to drive revenue growth and increase market share, as well as SEO traffic acquisition headwinds in its Tripadvisor point-of-sale increasing paid online traffic acquisition costs, partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs in Hotels and Other as we continue to optimize for profitability.

Personnel

Personnel expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, bonuses, employee health and other benefits, and stock-based compensation. In addition, personnel expenses include costs associated with contingent staff, bonuses and commissions for sales, sales support, customer support and marketing employees.

Personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, decreased $29.8 million and $72.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by a reduction in headcount related to cost-reduction measures initiated in Hotels and Other during 2026 and 2025, and lower annual stock-based grant values awarded to the Company's employees during 2026.

Technology

Technology expenses consist primarily of licensing, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) computing costs, data center costs including cloud-based solutions, maintenance, computer supplies, telecom, and content translation and localization costs.

Technology costs increased $1.0 million and $3.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase in technology and content costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to increased licensing fees associated with AI token spend, reflecting the Company's prioritization of this technology.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional service fees and other fees including audit, legal, tax and accounting, and other operating costs including real estate and office expenses, and non-compensation related personnel expenses such as travel, relocation, recruiting, and training expenses.

General and administrative costs increased $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase of legal contingency reserves.

General and administrative costs increased $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to decrease of $4.6 million related to the decrease of a previously estimated accrual regarding a potential settlement of a regulatory related matter during the second quarter of 2025, which did not reoccur during 2026, as well as, $4.1 million of transaction related expenses, primarily shareholder activism costs during the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of legal contingency reserve. These headwinds were partially offset by a recovery of $4.8 million during the first quarter of 2026, related to an external fraud incident which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2022, and to a lesser extent, an increase of sublease income related to office space.

As discussed above, the results of TheFork business has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Stranded costs, which are certain shared costs, primarily personnel costs, previously allocated to TheFork reportable segment that do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting classification and are reported within continuing operations for all periods presented. These costs included in general and administrative expenses totaled $0.9 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on computer equipment, leasehold improvements, furniture, office equipment and other assets, and amortization of capitalized website development costs and right-of-use assets related to our finance lease. Amortization consists of the amortization of definite-lived intangibles purchased in business acquisitions.

Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, decreased by $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in provision for income taxes of $6.7 million, which negatively impacted net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. This negative impact was partially offset by an increase in revenue of $3.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, due to booking volume growth, in addition to increased adoption of its premium online reservation booking software offering, and third-party partnership revenue. In addition, total costs and expenses decreased $2.3 million primarily due to the ceased recognition of depreciation and amortization of TheFork's long-lived assets upon determination it met held for sale criteria under GAAP, partially offset by an increase in brand marketing costs and cost of sales.

Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, improved by $5.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. These improvements were primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $20.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, due to booking volume growth, in addition to increased adoption of its premium online reservation booking software offering, and third-party partnership revenue. These improvements in revenue were partially offset by an increase in total costs and expenses of $4.4 million, primarily related to an increase in cost of sales and brand marketing costs, as well as, personnel costs due to increased headcount to support business growth, partially offset by the ceased recognition of depreciation and amortization of TheFork's long-lived assets upon determination it met held for sale criteria under GAAP, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. In addition, an increase in provision for income taxes of $10.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, negatively impacted net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Net income decreased by $366.3 million and $401.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same periods in 2025. These decreases were driven by the factors discussed above in “Net income (loss) from continuing operations” and “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax”.

Adjusted EBITDA

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or

42


 

excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is also our reported measure of segment profit and a key measure used by our CODM, management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of our business as a whole and our individual operating segments, and on which internal budgets and forecasts are based and approved. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons and better enables management and investors to compare financial results between periods as these costs may vary independent of ongoing core business performance. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our CODM, management and Board of Directors. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus: (1) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (2) other expense (income), net; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (6) legal reserves, settlements and other (including indirect tax reserves related to audit settlements and the impact of one-time changes resulting from enacted indirect tax legislation); (7) restructuring and other related reorganization costs; (8) transaction related expenses (including non-operational costs related to significant shareholder activism, which includes third-party advisory, legal, and other professional fees); and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) from continuing operations and our other GAAP results.

Some of these limitations are:

•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
•
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain income and expenses not directly tied to the ongoing core operations of our business, such as legal reserves, settlements and other, restructuring and other related reorganization costs, and transaction related expenses;
•

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded cumulative legal contingency reserves of $2.6 million and 3.9 million, respectively, reflected in general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition. during the second quarter of 2026, the Company realized a refund of $2.0 million, resulting from the repeal of enacted tax legislation in Canada during 2026 related to digital service taxes, reflected in cost of sales on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a decrease of $4.6 million to a previously estimated accrual for the settlement of a regulatory related matter, reflected in general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(2)
The Company expensed certain costs related to shareholder activism of $3.3 million, and other transaction related costs of $0.8 million, reflected in general and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(3)
Represents a recovery of $4.8 million related to an external fraud incident, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company reduced Adjusted EBITDA by this recovery amount during the first quarter of 2026, which was recorded to general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company considers such recovery to be non-recurring in nature.

Stock-Based Compensation

Refer to “Note 11: Stock-Based Awards” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information on current year equity award activity, including the issuance of approximately 4.5 million service-based RSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $10.34 and approximately 0.8 million PSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $10.14 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations and our existing cash and cash equivalents balance. Our liquidity needs can also be met through drawdowns under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $706.8 million and $978.0 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, and $497.7 million and $496.4 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2026, approximately $219.4 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our international subsidiaries outside of the U.S., of which nearly 32% was located in the U.K. As of September 30, 2026, the significant majority of our cash was denominated in U.S. dollars.

As of September 30, 2026, we are party to a credit agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 29, 2028. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $2.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of issued undrawn standby letters of credit. The Company may borrow from the Credit Facility in U.S. dollars, Euros and Sterling. For information regarding interest rates on potential borrowings under the Credit Facility refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report. The Credit Facility, among other things, requires us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including for a change of control. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenant requirements in effect under the Credit Facility. While there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the total net leverage ratio covenant in the future, based on our current projections, we do not believe there is a material risk that we will not remain in compliance throughout the next twelve months.

44


 

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $8.5 million and $825.4 million in short-term and long-term debt, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet pertaining to the Term Loan B Facility, which is discussed below.

On April 1, 2026, the Company repaid in full the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes, at maturity, for $345.4 million, consisting of principal and accrued interest, funded by cash on hand. Refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information.

The Company also maintains the Term Loan B Facility with an aggregate principal amount remaining of $833.9 million, maturing on July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.75%, payable monthly. As of September 30, 2026 and 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 6.65% and 6.91%, respectively. The Term Loan B Facility is required to be paid down at 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount per year, repayable in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, equal to 0.25% of the principal amount with the balance due on the maturity date. Principal payments of $6.4 million were made during both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The Term Loan B Facility has no financial covenants.

We may from time to time repurchase the Term Loan B Facility through tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. For further information on the Amended Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility, the Term Loan B Facility, and 2026 Senior Notes, refer to “Note 8: Debt” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Significant uses of capital and other liquidity matters

On September 7, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250.0 million in shares of our common stock under a share repurchase program. This share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date or obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of outstanding common stock under the share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, we had $110.0 million remaining available to repurchase shares of our common stock under this share repurchase program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $14.22 per share, exclusive of fees and commissions, or $40.0 million in the aggregate.

Our business typically experiences seasonal fluctuations that affect the timing of our annual cash flows during the year related to working capital. As a result of our experience bookings, we generally receive cash from travelers at the time of booking or prior to the occurrence of an experience, and we record these amounts, net of commissions, on our consolidated balance sheet as deferred merchant payables. We pay the operator, or the supplier, after the travelers’ use. Therefore, we generally receive cash from the traveler prior to paying the operator and this operating cycle represents a source or use of cash to us. During the first half of the year, experience bookings typically exceed completed experiences, resulting in higher cash flow related to working capital, while during the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter, this pattern reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal fluctuations, such as significant shifts in our business mix, adverse economic conditions, public health-related events, as well as other factors that could result in future seasonal patterns that are different from historical trends. In addition, new or different payment options offered to our customers could impact the timing of cash flows, such as our “Reserve Now, Pay Later” payment option, which allows travelers the option to reserve certain experiences and defer payment until a date no later than two days before the experience date. Usage of this payment option may continue to increase, though it is still not used in a majority of bookings to date, and affect the timing of our future cash flows and working capital.

In addition, in January 2021, we received an issue closure notice from HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) in the U.K. relating to adjustments for the 2012 through 2016 tax years. These proposed adjustments are related to deductions for intercompany financing and would result in an increase to income tax expense in an estimated range of $20.0 million to $30.0 million, which is inclusive of transition tax benefits and exclusive of interest expense, at the close of the audit if HMRC prevails. We are also currently subject to audit by HMRC in tax years 2017 through 2023. If HMRC were to seek adjustments of a similar nature through a closure notice for transactions in these years, we could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. Although the ultimate timing for resolution of this matter is uncertain, any future payments required would negatively impact our operating cash flows.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our foreseeable working capital requirements, capital expenditures, existing business growth initiatives, debt and interest obligations, lease commitments, and other financial commitments through at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements may also include capital needs for acquisitions and/or other expenditures in support of our business strategy, which may potentially reduce our cash balance and/or require us to

45


 

borrow under the Credit Facility or to seek other financing alternatives. In addition, the net proceeds received from the sale of TheFork business provides the Company with additional flexibility in its capital structure. The Company will continue to maintain optionality with respect to its use of the net proceeds, but management currently expects that the Company will prioritize reduction of its long-term debt.The Company estimates it will incur transaction related costs of $16.0 million to $18.0 million related to the sale of TheFork, which will be netted against the gain on sale. We do not expect the disposition of TheFork business to have a significant impact on future operating cash flows.

Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows from continuing operations, are summarized in the following table:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our primary source of cash was from operations, while our primary use of cash was from financing activities (including $345.0 million for the repayment of the 2026 Senior Notes and $7.2 million for the payment of withholding taxes on net share settlements of our equity awards) and investing activities (including $31.8 million in capital expenditures). This use of cash was funded with cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows generated during the period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our primary source of cash was from operations, while our primary use of cash was from financing activities (including $410.7 million to repurchase our outstanding common stock pursuant to the Merger, including transaction costs, $40.0 million in repurchases of our outstanding common stock under the existing share repurchase program, and $13.0 million in payments of withholding taxes on net share settlements of equity awards) and investing activities (including $48.2 million in capital expenditures). This use of cash was funded with existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows generated during the period, as well as, financing activities which includes $341.4 million in borrowings from our Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, net of financing costs.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, decreased by $207.1 million when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in net income from continuing operations, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in working capital of $95.2 million, partially offset by an increase in non-cash items. The decrease in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily driven by changes related to the timing of collection of cash from customers, the timing of vendor payments and deferred merchant payments to experiences operators.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased by $18.6 million when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in leasehold improvements related to our office spaces, as well as a decrease in capitalized website development costs due to a reduction in headcount related to cost-reduction measures initiated in Hotels and Other during 2026 and 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $232.1 million when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the repayment of our 2026 Senior Notes during the second quarter of 2026 of $345.0 million and proceeds received from the issuance of our Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility during 2025 of $341.4 million, net of financing costs, partially offset by $410.7 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common stock pursuant to the Merger and a $40.0 million decrease in net cash used to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock under our existing share repurchase program, both occurring during 2025.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes outside the normal course of business to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments since December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, other than our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part II, Item 7. —Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Annual Report for a discussion of our contractual obligations and commercial commitments.

46


 

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are party to legal, regulatory and administrative matters, including threats thereof, arising out of, or in connection with our operations. These matters may involve claims involving, but not limited to, intellectual property rights (including privacy rights), tax matters (including value-added, excise, digital services, sales and use, transient occupancy and accommodation taxes), regulatory compliance (including competition, consumer protection matters, data privacy and cybersecurity matters), contractual claims (including related to our material agreements or other contracts), defamation and reputational claims, personal injury claims, labor and employment matters and commercial disputes. Routinely, we review the status of all significant outstanding matters to assess any potential financial exposure. We record the estimated loss in our consolidated statement of operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and is material. We provide disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both of these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the consolidated financial statements. We base accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not believe that the final disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, except for certain known income tax matters discussed below. However, the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from our estimates. Finally, there may be claims or actions pending or threatened against us of which we are currently not aware and the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are under audit by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and non-income tax matters. We have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of audits could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the period for which that determination is made.

Refer to “Note 9: Income Taxes” and “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information on other potential contingencies, including ongoing audits by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities, and other tax and legal matters. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) through its “Inclusive Framework” of G20 and other countries have issued proposals related to the taxation of the digital economy. Many jurisdictions, particularly in the EU, have implemented or are considering the adoption of a digital services tax (“DST”) or similar tax that imposes a tax on revenues earned from digital advertisements or the use of online platforms, even when there is no physical presence in the jurisdiction. Future developments related to such proposals, in particular any unilateral actions outside of the OECD's Inclusive Framework such as the imposition of DST rules, could have an adverse impact on our business by increasing our future tax obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded $3.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of digital service taxes to cost of sales on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, which includes a realized refund of $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2026, resulting from the repeal of enacted tax legislation in Canada during March 2026 related to digital service taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $4.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of digital service taxes to cost of sales on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in our market risk profile during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 since December 31, 2025. For additional information about our market risk profile, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A. in Part II of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are exposed to market risks primarily due to our international operations, our ongoing investment and financial activities, as well as changes in economic conditions in all significant markets in which we operate. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in our future earnings, cash flows, fair values of our assets, and financial condition. Our exposure to market risk, at any point in time, may include risks related to any borrowings under the Credit Facility, or outstanding debt related to the Term Loan B Facility, derivative instruments, cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities, if any, accounts receivable, intercompany receivables/payables, accounts payable, deferred merchant payables and other balances and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage and attempt to mitigate our exposure to such risks.

Our exposure to potentially volatile movements in foreign currency exchange rates will increase as we increase our operations in international markets. The economic impact of foreign currency exchange rate movement is linked to variability in the

47


 

macroeconomic environment such as inflation and interest rates, governmental actions, and geopolitical events such as regional conflicts. We regularly monitor the macroeconomic environment, which has seen some volatility as a result of geopolitical tensions resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and Iran, as well as increased cyberattacks, other military conflicts and regional disruptions, tariffs, trade negotiations, and sanctions. Developments in the macroeconomic environment could cause us to adjust our foreign currency risk strategies. Continued uncertainty regarding our international operations, including U.K. and E.U. relations, may result in future currency exchange rate volatility which may impact our business and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2026, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Refer to “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding any legal proceedings. For an additional discussion of certain risks associated with legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report for a description of the risks and uncertainties which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business, results of operations or financial condition. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, we did not issue or sell any shares of our common stock or other equity securities pursuant to unregistered transactions in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

48


 

Share Repurchases

During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our existing share repurchase program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
