AUSTIN, Texas, April 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomeAway, Inc. (Nasdaq:AWAY), the world's largest online marketplace for vacation rentals, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Management Commentary

"The first quarter marked a solid start to the year for HomeAway®, as evidenced by our impressive growth in listings and record renewal rates as we head further into the travel planning season," says Brian Sharples, Chief Executive Officer of HomeAway. "Free cash flow remained strong, up 39% year-over-year on a trailing twelve month basis, and in-line with our EBITDA growth. Our financial performance is enabled by the strength and growth of our global network for online vacation rentals. Our recent acquisition of Toprural supports our mission of strengthening the reach of our network by making every vacation rental and bed and breakfast in the world easily available to every traveler. In line with that mission, we are progressing with our growth initiatives to increase the number of listings in our network and launch new products and services to property owners, managers and travelers. We remain on-track to achieve a key technology milestone, the back-end migration of VRBO.com onto our common network by the end of the summer."

Mr. Sharples continued, "Strategic reinvestment in our business has led to exciting new product initiatives, including the recently launched OverviewTM software product, aimed at helping emerging and smaller property managers automate time-intensive tasks in one web-based system and better focus on growing their businesses. Throughout the remainder of 2012, we anticipate the launch of additional tools and services for our property owners and managers alike while concurrently focusing on expanding and further monetizing our reach within the vacation rentals marketplace."
