Tripadvisor Segment Reporting Update Memo

August 4, 2022

As referenced in prior shareholder letters, we have been evaluating changes to our segment information. This quarter, Q2 2022, we are disclosing our financial information under a new segment structure. To ensure that you have a basis for comparison, attached are segment financials, which have been recast by quarter in the new segment structure, starting in Q1 2019.

New reporting

We now report under three reportable segments, Tripadvisor Core, Viator, and TheFork, and we will include a corporate & eliminations category. A summary of the changes are as follows:

Tripadvisor Core

  • This segment includes the legacy HM&P segment and the legacy Other (cruises, rentals, flights, and cars). This segment also includes Tripadvisor point-of-sale ("POS") experiences and Tripadvisor dining and restaurant services, which combined equal our Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining revenue stream.
  • We are providing the following revenue lines by product for this reportable segment:
    • Tripadvisor branded hotels (formerly legacy Tripadvisor branded hotels revenue stream)
    • Display & Platform (formerly legacy Display & Platform revenue stream)
    • Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining (as discussed above)
    • Other (formerly legacy Other revenue)
  • Included in the expenses for this segment are directly-attributable Cost of Revenue, Sales and Marketing (S&M), Technology and Content (T&C), General & Administrative (G&A) expenses, and allocations for certain corporate G&A personnel costs.

Viator

  • The Viator segment captures all revenue generated by the Viator stand-alone business, including revenue generated on the Tripadvisor POS (as Viator fulfills the bookings for Tripadvisor, as it does for all affiliate relationships).
  • For bookings generated from the Tripadvisor POS channel, Viator pays Tripadvisor Core an affiliate marketing fee. This affiliate marketing fee is borne by Viator as a segment expense, and recognized in the Tripadvisor Core segment, in Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining revenue. These intersegment transactions are eliminated on a consolidated basis.

  • Included in the expenses for this segment are directly-attributable Cost of Revenue, Sales and Marketing (S&M), Technology and Content (T&C), General & Administrative (G&A) expenses, and allocations for certain corporate G&A personnel costs.

TheFork

  • TheFork segment captures all revenue generated by stand-alone TheFork business, including a small amount of consumer bookings generated by the Tripadvisor POS for TheFork.
  • For bookings generated on the Tripadvisor POS, TheFork pays Tripadvisor Core an affiliate marketing fee for these bookings. This affiliate marketing fee is borne by TheFork as a segment expense, and recognized as revenue in the Tripadvisor Core segment, in Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining revenue (similar to Viator). These intersegment transactions are eliminated on a consolidated basis.
  • Included in the expenses for this segment are directly-attributable Cost of Revenue, Sales and Marketing (S&M), Technology and Content (T&C), General & Administrative (G&A) expenses, and allocations for certain corporate G&A personnel costs.

Eliminations

  • We eliminate the revenue double count for segment reporting for the affiliate marketing fee paid to Tripadvisor Core, as well as the equal expense for Viator and TheFork. The elimination is on revenue, not on EBITDA (revenue elimination equals cost elimination).

Other Considerations

  • This new segment structure has no effect on our consolidated financial statements in any period.
  • This results in no change to our legacy segment profit measure (adjusted EBITDA) used by our CODM or its definition.

(1) Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue within the Tripadvisor Core segment shown in this table are gross of intersegment (intercompany) revenue, which is eliminated on a consolidated basis. Eliminations result in net neutral impact to adjusted EBITDA.

(2)

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations available on the investor relations section of our website at http://ir.tripadvisor.com.

(3)

Tripadvisor defines "Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin" as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

(4)

This amount reflects our consolidated GAAP net income (loss) for the periods presented. Tripadvisor does not calculate or report net income (loss) by segment.

Note: Due to rounding, figures may not sum to total.
