Expedia Group Reports First Quarter 2022 Results
SEATTLE, WA – May 2, 2022 – Expedia Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced financial results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
“As we have seen many times during Covid, this quarter was a tale of two stories. There was early impact from Omicron leftover from late last year, which faded as the turnaround in demand reached new highs since the start of Covid. While the war in Ukraine did slow some of the recovery in Europe, there too we see travel at new highs since the start of the pandemic. All in, while we are keeping an eye on various macro indicators including inflation and ongoing geopolitical tensions, we continue to see positive indicators for a strong recovery in leisure travel this summer. We are also pleased to see city, business, and international travel coming back, three components key to the complete return of travel,” said Peter Kern, Vice Chairman and CEO, Expedia Group. “This year is on track to be a big year of delivery for us with new product, marketplace, and platform innovation. We are excited to introduce much of this to the industry at our EXPLORE 22 conference later this week in Las Vegas.”
