Tripadvisor: Q2 FY 2025 Investor Update
- 1. Tripadvisor Q2 FY 2025 Investor Presentation August 2025
- 2. Safe Harbor Statement Forward-Looking Statements. Our presentation today, including the slides contained herein, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance and are based on management's assumptions and expectations, which are inherently subject to difficult to predict uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances. The use of words such as "intends,” “expects,” “may,” “believes,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential,” “will,” “projects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements, and any statements that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, projections, forecasts, objectives, assumptions, models, illustrations, profiles or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements relating to future revenues, expenses, margins, performance, profitability, cash flows, net income/(loss), earnings per share, growth rates and other measures of results of operations (such as adjusted EBITDA) and future growth prospects for Tripadvisor’s business. Actual results and the timing and outcome of events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking or other statements in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Measures. This presentation also includes discussion of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Important information regarding Tripadvisor’s definitions and use of these measures, as well as reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in the earnings release reporting our second quarter 2025 financial results, which are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.tripadvisor.com, and in the “Appendix” section of this document. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement, and are not a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. Investors are urged to consider carefully the comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations. Industry / Market Data. Industry and market data used in this presentation have been obtained from industry publications and sources as well as from research reports prepared for other purposes. We have not independently verified the data obtained from these sources and cannot assure you of the data’s accuracy or completeness. 2

- 25. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating and analyzing our business. (1) Includes a one-time charge of $4 million during the second quarter of 2024, resulting from enacted tax legislation in Canada during June 2024 related to digital services taxes, which required retrospective application back to January 1, 2022. This amount represents the one-time retrospective liability for the periods prior to April 1, 2024, while all prospective periods are included within Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, this amount includes an estimated accrual for the potential settlement of a regulatory related matter of $10 million, expensed during the first quarter of 2024, which was reduced by $4 million during the second quarter of 2025. (2) Depreciation and amortization. Includes capitalized website development amortization. (3) Adjusted EBITDA. A non-GAAP measure which is defined as net income (loss) plus: (1) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (2) other income (expense), net; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation; (5) goodwill, intangible asset, and long-lived asset impairments; (6) legal reserves, settlements and other, including indirect tax reserves related to audit settlements and the impact of one-time changes resulting from enacted indirect tax legislation; (7) restructuring and other related reorganization costs; (8) transaction related expenses; and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. These items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are noncash in nature, or because the amount is not driven by core operating results and renders comparisons with prior periods less meaningful. (4) Free Cash Flow. A non-GAAP measure which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, which are purchases of property and equipment, including capitalization of website development costs. We believe this financial measure can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand underlying trends in our business, as it represents the operating cash flow that our operating businesses generate, less capital expenditures but before taking into account other cash movements that are not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses, such as financing activities, foreign exchange or certain investing activities. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We use the operating metric described below to assist us in measuring our operations performance, identifying trends, formulating projections and making strategic decisions for the Viator segment. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating this metric, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way. Management believes it is useful to monitor this metric together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric. We regularly review our processes and may adjust how we calculate this metric to improve its accuracy. We make this key metric available to investors because we believe it is useful both because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and because it may be used to help analyze the health of our business. This metric should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Gross Booking Value (“GBV”) represents the total dollar value of experience bookings powered by the Viator platform in a given period prior to any adjustments such as date changes, refunds or cancellations. GBV is an operational measure that provides an indication of total engagement and economic activity driven by our platform in a given period by all marketplace constituents (travelers, experience operators, and partners). Management uses GBV for operational decision-making purposes to monitor the growth, scale, and reach of its online marketplace as well as assess the health of its global ecosystem. Accordingly, management does not consider GBV to be an indicator of revenue or any other financial statement measure. Appendix 25
