Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Gross Bookings and Net Revenue

Gross bookings increased four percent year over year in the second quarter 2013. This increase was driven by higher air fares, higher average booking values per hotel and vacation package transaction, and higher hotel, vacation package, and car volumes. Lower air volume partially offset these increases.

Net revenue was $225.8 million for the second quarter 2013, up 12 percent year over year. This increase was primarily driven by higher hotel and vacation package volume and higher net revenue per air and hotel transaction. Net revenue in the second quarter 2013 also benefited from the addition of an airline servicing revenue stream for one of the company's private label 
distribution partners. Lower air volume partially offset these increases. 

• Standalone air net revenue was $67.5 million in the second quarter 2013, flat year over year. Lower volume was offset by higher net revenue per airline ticket and the addition of an airline servicing revenue stream. 

• Standalone hotel net revenue was $78.2 million in the second quarter 2013, up 40 percent year over year. This increase was driven primarily by higher volume and to a lesser extent, higher net revenue per transaction.

• Vacation package net revenue increased six percent in the quarter to $38.7 million due primarily to higher volume. 

• Advertising and media revenue was $15.5 million in the second quarter 2013, up two percent year over year.

Cash Flow 

Operating cash flow was $206.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 98 percent increase year over year due primarily to growth in the company's global hotel business and to the timing of cash receipts and payments. At June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $222.7 million.
