In one sentence

Expedia Group reported revenue of $4.9 billion for Q3 2026, up 12% from a year earlier (Expedia Group, Nov 4, 2026).

MeasureQ3 2026Q3 2025Change
Revenue$4,938 million$4,412 millionup 12%

Diluted EPS (adjusted)$9.39$7.57up 24%

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Expedia Group published the results on November 4, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Expedia Group reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

  • Gross Bookings ($34,008 million in Q3 2026) are the value of travel booked, not revenue. Expedia Group's revenue is what it keeps: 14.5% of Gross Bookings in the quarter.
  • Expedia Group's results are seasonal: Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 were both diluted losses per share (-$0.05 and -$1.56), and the third quarter had the highest revenue of each year in the release's trended table.

EXPE revenue by segment

How Expedia Group splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

Revenue by segmentQ3 2026Q3 2025Change

B2B$1,708 million$1,392 millionup 23%

  • Expedia Group's B2C revenue was $3.1 billion in Q3 2026, up 6% from $2.9 billion in Q3 2025, 62% of total revenue.
  • Expedia Group's B2B revenue was $1.7 billion in Q3 2026, up 23% from $1.4 billion in Q3 2025, 35% of total revenue.
  • Expedia Group's trivago (Third-party revenue) revenue was $165 million in Q3 2026, up 20% from $137 million in Q3 2025, 3% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

What Expedia Group's revenue is made of

Expedia Group reports two main segments. B2C, its consumer brands Expedia.com, Hotels.com and Vrbo, brought in $3,065 million of Q3 2026 revenue, up 6%. B2B, which supplies travel to airlines, offline travel agents, online retailers, corporate travel managers and financial institutions, brought in $1,708 million, up 23%. trivago's third-party revenue was $165 million, for total revenue of $4,938 million, up 12%. (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Expedia Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)

Lodging is most of Expedia Group's revenue: $3,991 million in Q3 2026, up 11%, which the 10-Q attributes to more room nights stayed in its hotel business and higher ADRs stayed. Air revenue fell 7% to $93 million on fewer tickets sold and lower revenue per ticket, EG Advertising rose 7% to $206 million, and Other revenue, mainly insurance, car rental, destination services and cruise, rose 28% to $483 million. (Expedia Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026; Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Gross Bookings were $34,008 million, up 11%, with B2C Gross Bookings of $22,862 million (up 7%) and B2B Gross Bookings of $11,146 million (up 19%). Booked room nights rose 7% to 115.7 million and the average daily rate booked rose 2% to $215.0. Expedia Group's presentation puts room night growth in the U.S. at mid single-digits, EMEA at low single-digits and Rest of World at mid-teens. (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Expedia Group Q3 2026 earnings presentation, Nov 4, 2026)

U.S. points of sale produced $2,845 million of revenue and non-U.S. points of sale $2,093 million, each up 12%. Merchant bookings, where Expedia Group takes the traveler's payment, were $21,653 million of Gross Bookings, against $12,355 million for agency bookings. Under the merchant model it collects cash at booking and pays most lodging suppliers after the stay, and deferred merchant bookings stood at $12,579 million at September 30, 2026. (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Expedia Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)

Expedia Group's 10-K lists approximately 3.6 million lodging properties at the end of 2025, including approximately 2.4 million online bookable alternative accommodations through Vrbo and approximately 1.2 million hotels and alternative accommodations through its other brands. (Expedia Group Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 13, 2026)

What Expedia Group's EPS includes

Expedia Group's GAAP diluted EPS was $8.42 in Q3 2026, against adjusted EPS of $9.39. The largest per-share items excluded from adjusted EPS were stock-based compensation ($0.99), restructuring charges ($0.23) and legal reserves, occupancy tax and other ($0.11), net of a gain on minority equity investments ($0.07) and a gain on revenue hedges ($0.15). (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

GAAP EPS rose 15% while net income attributable to Expedia Group rose 7% to $1,030 million, because diluted shares fell to 122,280 thousand from 131,014 thousand. Expedia Group repurchased approximately 2 million shares for $576 million in Q3 2026 and 6.2 million shares for $1.5 billion over the first nine months, at an average of $239.47, with $5.1 billion authorized for further repurchases at September 30, 2026. It paid a quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share. (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Expedia Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)

The effective tax rate was 20.3%, against 14.7% a year earlier. Expedia Group's 10-Q says the change was primarily due to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Q3 2025 in connection with a U.S. federal income tax audit. The year-ago quarter also included a $133 million gain on minority equity investments. (Expedia Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026; Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Consensus and guidance at Expedia Group

Expedia Group gives quarterly and full-year guidance in its release. For Q4 2026 it guided Gross Bookings of $27.9 billion to $28.4 billion, revenue of $3.69 billion to $3.75 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $830 million to $880 million. (Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

(Expedia Group Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Expedia Group, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check EXPE's figures yourself

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Expedia Group published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

  • The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
  • The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
  • The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
  • Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.

+

Expedia Group reported revenue of $4,938 million for Q3 2026, the quarter ended September 30, 2026, against $4,412 million in Q3 2025 (up 12%). The figures come from Expedia Group's results release of November 4, 2026.

+

Diluted EPS was $8.42 on a GAAP basis, against $7.33 a year earlier. On Expedia Group's adjusted basis it was $9.39, against $7.57. The two differ because the adjusted figure leaves out items the company treats as outside its operating results; the release reconciles one to the other.

Expedia Group gives its outlook as a table in the release. These lines are the Q4 2026 rows; the full-year 2026 figures are in the expectations section below.

When does EXPE report earnings next?

+

We do not hold a confirmed date for Expedia Group's next report. Companies announce the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the call.

Where does Expedia Group's revenue come from?

+

Up 12% on the year: $4,938 million in Q3 2026 against $4,412 million in Q3 2025. That is the year-over-year comparison, the same quarter a year apart, so seasonal patterns in Expedia Group's business do not distort it.

GAAP EPS follows US accounting rules and is the figure in the audited statements. Expedia Group's adjusted EPS starts from it and removes items the company considers outside its operating results; the release lists each adjustment in a reconciliation table. For Q3 2026 the two were $8.42 and $9.39. Analysts' EPS estimates are usually built on the adjusted figure, so check which one a headline compares before you repeat it.

Where do the EXPE numbers on this page come from?

+

From Expedia Group's own results release and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, copied as printed, in millions of US dollars. Percent changes are worked out from those figures and rounded to a whole percent, which matches how the release states them. Nothing on this page is an estimate except the consensus, which is labelled with its source and date.
