11/05/2014| 7:17:38 AM| 中文

NEWTON, MA, November 4, 2014 — TripAdvisor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRIP), the world’s largest travel website*, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Total revenue of $354 million, up 39% year-over-year.

Net income of $54 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, down 4% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA of $119 million, or 34% of revenue, up 14% year-over-year.

Non-GAAP net income of $71 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, up 9% year-over-year.

More than 315 million average monthly unique visitors to TripAdvisor’s websites during the third quarter.

The biggest news for the quarter was our Viator acquisition, which expands our presence into the tours and attractions reservation business. We are thrilled to welcome such a great team to the TripAdvisor family, and are very excited to build on our leadership position in this fast-growing category. While this acquisition helped accelerate Q3 total revenue growth, it was partially offset by lower than expected Click-based revenue growth. Importantly, our business fundamentals remain strong, and we will continue on our path of investing for long term growth,” said Steve Kaufer, TripAdvisor’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
