Q3 2024 Shareholder Letter Airbnb had a strong Q3. Nights and Experiences Booked accelerated throughout the quarter and into Q4, despite a softer start due to shorter booking lead times compared to 2023. Revenue grew 10% year-over-year to $3.7 billion. Net income was $1.4 billion, representing a net income margin of 37%. Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 billion increased 7% year-over-year and represented an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 52%. We generated $1.1 billion of FCF during Q3 and $4.1 billion of FCF over the trailing twelve months, highlighting the strength of our cash-generating business model. During the quarter, we made significant progress across our three strategic priorities: • Making hosting mainstream: We’re focused on making hosting just as popular as traveling on Airbnb. Today, we have over 8 million active listings, with growth seen across all regions and market types during Q3 2024. To retain and attract new hosts, we’ve prioritized making hosting easier. Last month, we introduced Co-Host Network, an easy way to find the best local hosts to manage your Airbnb. Co-hosts are experienced hosts who provide personalized support based on the hosts’ needs, from listing setup to managing bookings and communicating with guests. • Perfecting the core service: Over the past three years, we’ve launched more than 535 new features and upgrades to make Airbnb an overall better service for hosts and guests. Our 2024 Winter Release included over 50 upgrades for guests that make the app more personalized, including recommended destinations, suggested search filters, and personalized listing highlights. We’re also addressing one of the top issues for guests: listing quality. Since last year, we’ve removed over 300,000 listings that failed to meet guest expectations. • Expanding beyond the core: Outside of our core markets, there are many countries and regions that remain under-penetrated. We’re focused on these expansion markets as part of our global markets strategy, and we believe our approach is working. In Q3, the average growth rate of nights booked on an origin basis in our expansion markets was more than double that of our core markets. We’ll remain focused on accelerating growth while preparing for Airbnb’s next chapter, which will take us beyond accommodations. You’ll see more on this next year. Q3 2024 Financial Results Here’s a snapshot of our Q3 2024 results: • Q3 revenue was $3.7 billion, up 10% year-over-year. Revenue increased to $3.7 billion in Q3 2024 from $3.4 billion in Q3 2023, primarily driven by solid growth in nights stayed and a modest increase in Average Daily Rate (“ADR”). • Q3 net income was $1.4 billion, representing a 37% net income margin. Net income decreased to $1.4 billion in Q3 2024 from $4.4 billion in Q3 2023, primarily due to the prior year’s valuation allowance release of our U.S. deferred tax assets of $2.8 billion, and the recognition of non-cash tax expense related to the utilization of some of those assets in the current year.
• Q3 Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 billion, up 7% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.0 billion in Q3 2024 from $1.8 billion in Q3 2023, which demonstrates the continued strength of our business and discipline in managing our cost structure. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 52% in Q3 2024, down from 54% in Q3 2023.1 • Q3 Free Cash Flow was $1.1 billion, representing a FCF Margin of 29%. In Q3 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion compared to $1.3 billion in Q3 2023. The year-over-year decline in cash flow was driven primarily by a $163 million payment to the IRS related to an outstanding matter. Our TTM FCF was $4.1 billion, representing a FCF Margin of 38%.2 • Q3 share repurchases of $1.1 billion. Our strong cash flow enabled us to repurchase $1.1 billion of our Class A common stock in Q3 2024. Share repurchases for the trailing twelve months totaled $3.3 billion and helped us to reduce our fully diluted share count from 681 million at the end of Q3 2023 to 665 million at the end of Q3 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we had the ability to purchase up to $4.2 billion of our Class A common stock under our current share repurchase authorization. Business Highlights Our strong quarter was driven by a number of positive business highlights: • Guest demand accelerated during the quarter. In Q3, Nights and Experiences Booked increased 8% year-over-year. After a slower start to the quarter, bookings accelerated steadily each month, returning to double-digit growth by the end of Q3. Global lead times also normalized throughout the quarter. Growth has been partly driven by our app strategy with nights booked on our app increasing 18% year-over-year in Q3. App bookings now account for 58% of total nights booked—up from 53% in the same period last year. We also saw continued growth of first-time bookers, particularly with our youngest travelers. • Our global markets strategy is working. In Q3, the average growth rate of gross nights booked on an origin basis in our expansion markets was more than twice the rate of our core markets. While our timing and investment level vary by market, our strategy is consistent: make Airbnb local and relevant. In each market, we focus on finding product-market fit, increasing awareness, and driving traffic. Japan is one example. Airbnb is still relatively new to Japanese travelers. In order to raise awareness, we launched a brand campaign last month centered on domestic travel. Beyond Japan, we’re also introducing more local payment options in countries like Vietnam, Denmark, and Poland. By Spring 2025, we expect to offer nearly 40 local payment methods across five continents. • Supply quality is improving on Airbnb. We’re focused on removing low-quality supply and making it easier for guests to find the best places to stay. Since last year, we’ve removed over 300,000 listings. As a result, customer service issue rates have decreased, and guest net promoter scores have improved. We’ve also made it easier for guests to find the best 1, 2 A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this letter.
places to stay with Guest Favorites and top listing highlights, which show percentile ranking for the top 1%, 5%, and 10% of eligible homes. Since launching a year ago, over 200 million nights have been booked at Guest Favorite listings, and nights booked with Superhosts have increased by 21%. Lastly, we’re reducing host cancellations, which, though rare, are a significant pain point for guests. In Q3, host cancellation rates decreased nearly 30% compared to last year. Results from our 2024 Summer Release In May, we introduced Icons—a category of extraordinary experiences hosted by some of the greatest names in music, film, television, art, sports, and more. Since then, Icons have received over 60 million views on our site and more than 1 billion impressions on social media, helping expand Airbnb’s brand beyond travel accommodations. We also launched new features for group travel, including shared wishlists, a new messages tab, and trip invitations. Since then, the percentage of bookings from shared wishlists have nearly tripled. These new features have also contributed to over 1.2 million new app downloads and more than 1.7 million new user sign-ups. 2024 Winter Release With our October 2024 Winter Release, we introduced Co-Host Network, helping people find the best local hosts to manage their Airbnb. We also rolled out over 50 upgrades for guests that make the Airbnb app more personalized, along with over 20 host upgrades based on their feedback. Here’s more on what we launched: Co-Host Network Hosting on Airbnb is one of the best ways to make money from a home, but not everyone has the time to do it. To address this, we introduced Co-Host Network,3 an easy way for people to find and hire the best local co-hosts to manage their Airbnb. Co-hosts provide personalized support based on hosts’ needs, from listing setup to managing bookings and communicating with guests. Co-hosts are experienced hosts with an exceptional track record on Airbnb. In fact, 73% of co-hosts are Superhosts, and 84% of co-hosts help manage a Guest Favorite—some of the highest-quality homes on Airbnb. With more than 10,000 co-hosts across 10 countries, our personalized ranking algorithm recommends a list of co-hosts based on dozens of factors, including location, hosting experience, and type of home. We’ve also made it easy to work with a co-host, with collaborative features like messaging, calendar access, payouts, and more built right into the app. 3 Co-Host Network is available in the app and at airbnb.com/host in 10 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK, and US. Hosts on the Co-Host Network typically have high ratings, low cancellation rates, and established Airbnb hosting experience. Ratings are based on guest reviews for listings they host or co-host and may not represent the co-host’s unique services.
By making hosting easier, we believe Co-Host Network will allow us to unlock even more high-quality supply. In the three weeks since launch, we’ve received tremendous interest from over 20,000 potential new co-hosts. A more personalized app Travel apps have historically been one-size-fits-all. We’re committed to changing this. In October, we introduced over 50 upgrades for guests that make the Airbnb app more personalized, including: • Welcome tour. We’re making it easier for first-time guests to get started with a personalized, guided tour of the app. • Suggested destinations. When guests tap the search bar, we’ll recommend locations based on their search and booking history. We’ll also offer shortcuts to their past searches and recently viewed listings. • Search tips. Throughout a guest’s search, we’ll offer relevant tips to help them find last-minute stays, discounts from hosts, and more. For example, if they search for a 6-day trip, we’ll suggest they extend by one day to take advantage of a weekly discount. • Recommended filters. We’ve redesigned search filters with recommendations based on a guest’s past bookings and current search. We’ve also made it easier to view, add, and remove filters. • Personalized listing highlights. When a guest views a listing, we’ll highlight the details that are relevant to their search—like a backyard when traveling with pets. • All-new checkout. For returning guests, we’ve simplified the booking process with a redesigned checkout page that is shorter and includes all the key details at a glance. With dozens of new features that make the Airbnb experience more intuitive and customized to our guests, this is the beginning of a more personalized Airbnb. Upgrades for hosts We also launched more than 20 upgrades for hosts based on their feedback, including: • Price tips. Hosts can view suggested prices based on similar listings in their area, and choose to apply the tips with just a tap. • New quick replies. Customizable templates help hosts quickly send welcome messages, check-in details, directions, and more. • Earnings dashboard. Hosts can now create custom reports to view their earnings, filter income by type, and easily see when payments are on the way. After less than a month, we’re encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from hosts.

Airbnb.org: supporting hurricane victims Airbnb.org is a nonprofit founded by Airbnb that helps provide access to free, emergency housing for people displaced by disaster and conflict around the world. In recent months, hurricanes have devastated millions of lives across the southeastern U.S. Airbnb.org is providing free, emergency housing to people who have been displaced by the storms, as well as volunteers and first responders. Because Airbnb.org uses the Airbnb platform and its hosts, as well as a global network of local nonprofit partners, it’s able to quickly connect people who need a place to stay. Since the start of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, approximately 800 hosts in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have generously offered their homes for free or at a discount. Based on the power of our community, Airbnb.org has already been able to provide access to free, temporary housing for more than 6,000 people who either lost their homes in the hurricanes or have been forced to evacuate for their safety.
Q3 2024 Business and Financial Performance Q3 2024 122.8M $20.1B Nights & Experiences Booked Gross Booking Value 8% Y/Y 10% Y/Y 10% Y/Y (ex-FX) During Q3 2024, we had 122.8 million Nights and Experiences Booked—our highest Q3 ever. We saw continued growth across all regions compared to Q3 2023, with Asia Pacific and Latin America again leading the way. The increase in Nights and Experiences Booked combined with a modest increase in ADR drove strong GBV growth. In Q3 2024, GBV was $20.1 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 10%. Geographic Mix In Q3 2024, regional highlights included: • North America: In North America, we saw continued growth of Nights and Experiences Booked during Q3 2024 on a year-over-year basis. After a slower start to the quarter, we saw year-over-year growth of Nights and Experiences Booked improve during Q3. Domestic travel continues to comprise the vast majority of nights booked within the region, and we continued to see the fastest levels of growth for non-urban destinations and larger group travel. ADR in North America increased 3% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023, or 1% excluding the impact of FX and mix shift. Growth in short-term stays and entire homes continued to outpace long-term stays (trips of 28 days or more) and Airbnb rooms, respectively, helping to drive the mix shift. Lastly, despite the relative outperformance of short-term stays, long-term stays comprised 23% of gross nights booked in North America during Q3 2024, largely unchanged from the prior-year period. • EMEA: During Q3 2024, we saw a slight acceleration in growth of Nights and Experiences booked in EMEA compared to the prior quarter, buoyed by the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 (“the Games”). While domestic and in-region travel remained the majority of nights booked, we saw the highest year-over-year growth in non-urban destinations, demonstrating Airbnb’s unique ability to disperse travel across a country. Over the course of the Games, we were proud to have almost 700,000 guests stay on Airbnb and an increase in supply of approximately 35% in the Paris region. ADR in EMEA increased 6% year-over-year in Q3 2024, or 3% excluding the impact of FX and mix shift. • Latin America: In Latin America, Nights and Experiences Booked grew 15% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. We saw continued strength in domestic travel with domestic gross nights booked in Latin America increasing 21% compared to the prior-year period.
Consistent with recent quarters, we saw the highest year-over-year growth of active listings in Latin America and Asia Pacific—the two regions that also had the highest level of year-over-year growth of Nights and Experiences Booked. • Asia Pacific: In Asia Pacific, Nights and Experiences Booked increased 19% on a year-over-year basis—stable with the prior quarter. This region is generally reliant on cross-border travel and in Q3 2024, we saw overall cross-border travel to Asia Pacific grow 23% year-over-year. In addition, although the recovery has been and continues to be gradual, we are encouraged by the recovery of the outbound China business. Average Daily Rates ADR was $164 in Q3 2024, increasing 1% compared to Q3 2023. Excluding the impact of FX, ADR in Q3 2024 increased 2% and was flat to up across all regions, largely due to price appreciation and mix shift.
Q3 2024 $3.7B $1.4B $2.0B Revenue Net Income Adjusted EBITDA 10% Y/Y 37% Margin 52% Margin 10% Y/Y (ex-FX) $1.1B $1.1B $4.1B Net Cash Provided by Free Cash Flow TTM Free Cash Flow Operating Activities 29% Margin 38% Margin 29% Margin In Q3 2024, revenue was $3.7 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 10%. The increase in revenue was driven by the strong growth in nights stayed and a modest increase in ADR. Net income in Q3 2024 was $1.4 billion, which was down compared to net income of $4.4 billion in Q3 2023, primarily due to the prior year’s valuation allowance release of our U.S. deferred tax assets of $2.8 billion, and the recognition of non-cash tax expense related to the utilization of some of those assets in the current year. For the full-year 2024, we anticipate our effective tax rate to be approximately 20%, subject to variables including profitability, stock-based compensation deductions, and changes in tax laws. Net income margin during Q3 2024 was 37%. Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 billion was our highest quarter ever, up compared to $1.8 billion in Q3 2023.4 The growth in our Q3 2024 Adjusted EBITDA reflects the continued strength of our business and cost discipline. Adjusted EBITDA Margin during Q3 2024 was 52%, down compared to 54% in Q3 2023. Take Rate During Q3 2024, the implied take rate (defined as revenue divided by GBV) was flat year-over-year at 18.6%, as the revenue generated by the additional service fee amount for cross-currency bookings was offset by investments in customer service aimed to enhance the guest and host experience, which impact contra-revenue. Sales and Marketing Earlier this year, we shared our intent to invest in growth in 2024. Accordingly, in Q3, sales and marketing expense grew faster than revenue on a year-over-year basis, partially due to investments in global markets as well as highly efficient performance marketing. Based on our investments, we saw great results from 4 A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this letter.
our brand and performance marketing across all key markets as we optimize channel and audience mix, including in those areas where we are less penetrated. For instance, we continued to see faster growth in bookings on an origin basis in low penetration states in middle-America through our marketing efforts. Stock-Based Compensation For full-year 2024, we expect our stock-based compensation (“SBC”) expense to be approximately 25% higher than in full-year 2023. The increase in SBC expense is expected to exceed headcount growth over the same time period due to the accounting for our restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, which has changed over time. Beyond 2024, after the last of the double-trigger RSUs (which we stopped issuing after our IPO in December 2020) have vested, we anticipate that SBC expense will grow largely in-line with headcount growth.

Shares (M) We repurchased $1.1 billion of Class A common stock during Q3 2024 to help manage the impact of share dilution. 800M Fully Diluted 698 681 665 Share Count 65 42 38 Stock Based Awards & 600M Warrants Outstanding 633 639 627 Common Shares Outstanding 400M 200M 0M Sept 2022 Sept 2023 Sept 2024
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported $1.1 billion of net cash provided by operating activities and $1.1 billion of FCF, compared to $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.5 As of September 30, 2024, we had $11.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash, as well as $6.6 billion of funds held on behalf of guests. Capital Allocation During Q3 2024, we repurchased $1.1 billion of our Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2024, we had $4.2 billion remaining under our $6 billion repurchase authorization. The repurchase program continues to be executed as part of our broader capital allocation strategy which prioritizes investments in organic growth, strategic acquisitions where relevant, and return of capital to shareholders, in that order. Our strong balance sheet and significant cash flow generation provides us the opportunity to pursue all three capital allocation priorities. In addition to our share repurchase plan, we often use corporate cash to make required tax payments associated with the vesting of employee RSUs, and withhold a corresponding number of shares from employees, rather than selling employee shares on their behalf to cover related taxes. Since the inception of our share repurchases in Q3 2022, our fully diluted share count has decreased approximately 6%, driven in part by our share repurchases and cash used for employee tax obligations totaling $8.3 billion. Outlook Building on robust momentum in September, we are off to a great start in Q4 2024. We are seeing strong demand trends in Q4 2024 across core and expansion markets for both long and short lead times. As a result, we expect year-over-year growth of Nights and Experienced Booked in Q4 2024 to be higher than Q3 2024. In Q4 2024, we expect ADR to increase modestly on a year-over-year basis, driven by continued demand for larger and higher priced listings, as well as a small benefit from foreign exchange. For Q4 2024, we expect to deliver revenue of $2.39 billion to $2.44 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 8% to 10%, inclusive of a modest foreign exchange tailwind. We anticipate that our implied take rate in Q4 2024 will be slightly lower on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to one-time benefits recognized from unused gift cards in Q4 2023. Excluding these one-time benefits related to gift cards in Q4 2023, revenue growth in Q4 2024 would be approximately two percentage points higher. For the full-year 2024, we now expect to deliver an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of approximately 35.5%. In addition, we expect to deliver a full-year 2024 Free Cash Flow Margin several points above our Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Q4 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to decline relative to the same time period last year due to higher marketing and product development expenses. 5 A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this letter.
In Q1 2025, the year-over-year growth rate of revenue will be negatively impacted by the comparison to Q1 2024, which benefited from both the timing of Easter and inclusion of Leap Day. For the full-year 2025, we’ll continue to pursue our growth initiatives, including offering new products and services, as well as expanding in global markets. We’re excited to share more about our 2025 growth and investment plans early next year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we review financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”). We believe our non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use various non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP is provided below. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Margin, trailing twelve months (“TTM”) Free Cash Flow, TTM Free Cash Flow Margin, revenue change excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates (“ex-FX”), net income ex-FX, and Adjusted EBITDA ex-FX. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss adjusted for (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes; (ii) other income (expense), net, and interest income; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; (vi) lodging taxes for which we may have joint and several liability with hosts for collecting and remitting such taxes, withholding taxes on payments made to such hosts, and any related settlements and transactional taxes where there is significant ambiguity as to how the taxes apply to our platform; and (vii) restructuring charges. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins to corresponding net income (loss) and net income (loss) margins have not been provided because of the unpredictability of certain of the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and because we cannot determine their probable significance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA in this letter because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following: • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income and other income (expense), net, which include unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange, investments, and financial instruments;
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; • Adjusted EBITDA excludes acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. The contingent consideration, which was in the form of equity, was valued as of the acquisition date and is marked-to-market at each reporting period based on factors including our stock price; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect lodging taxes for which we may have joint and several liability with hosts for collecting and remitting such taxes, withholding taxes on payments made to such hosts, and any related settlements and transactional taxes where there is significant ambiguity as to how the taxes apply to our platform; and • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring charges, which include impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business, growth through acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet. Our Free Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of GBV because we collect our service fees at the time of booking, which is generally before a stay or experience occurs. Funds held on behalf of our hosts and guests and amounts payable to our hosts and guests do not impact Free Cash Flow, except interest earned on these funds. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by revenue. We track our TTM Free Cash Flow to account for the timing difference in when we receive cash from service fees, which is at the time of booking. Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not reflect our ability to meet future contractual commitments and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. TTM Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as TTM Free Cash Flow divided by TTM revenue. In addition to the actual amount or percentage change, we disclose the amount or percentage change in our current period results for revenue, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and ADR from the corresponding prior period results by comparing results using constant currencies. We present constant
currency amounts and change rate information to provide a framework for assessing how our revenue, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and ADR performed excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. We use the amounts and percentage change in constant currency revenues, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and ADR for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to the U.S. GAAP presentation helps improve the ability to understand our performance because it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our core operating results. We calculate the percentage change in constant currency by determining the change in the current period over the prior comparable period where current period foreign currency amounts are translated using the exchange rates of the comparative period. Share Repurchases Share repurchases under our share repurchase programs may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. Our share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion.

Our key business metrics include GBV and Nights and Experiences Booked. GBV represents the dollar value of bookings on our platform in a period and is inclusive of host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees, and taxes, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred during that period. Nights and Experiences Booked on our platform in a period represents the sum of the total number of nights booked for stays and the total number of seats booked for experiences, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred in that period. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating these key metrics, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way.
