NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION We refer to TripAdvisor, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries as “TripAdvisor,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements. On April 7, 2011, Expedia, Inc. (“Expedia”) announced its plan to separate into two independent public companies in order to better achieve certain strategic objectives of its various businesses. We refer to this transaction as the “Spin-Off.” In connection with the Spin-Off, we were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in July 2011. On November 1, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared the Form S-4 with information pertaining to the Spin-Off, which included a preliminary proxy statement for Expedia and prospectus for Expedia and TripAdvisor, as effective. On December 6, 2011, at Expedia’s annual meeting of stockholders, Expedia’s stockholders approved the Spin-Off, and the related proposals submitted. The Spin-Off was also approved by Expedia’s Board of Directors on December 6, 2011. Also in December 2011 Expedia received a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off. On December 20, 2011, following the close of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”), the Spin-Off was completed, and TripAdvisor began trading as independent public company on December 21, 2011. Expedia effected the Spin-Off by means of a reclassification of its capital stock that resulted in the holders of Expedia capital stock immediately prior to the time of effectiveness of the reclassification having the right to receive a proportionate amount of TripAdvisor capital stock. A one-for-two reverse stock split of outstanding Expedia capital stock occurred immediately prior to the Spin-Off, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. In connection with the Spin-Off, Expedia contributed or transferred all of the subsidiaries and assets relating to Expedia’s TripAdvisor Media Group, which were comprised of the TripAdvisor Holdings, LLC combined financial statements, to TripAdvisor and TripAdvisor or one of its subsidiaries assumed all of the liabilities relating to Expedia’s TripAdvisor Media Group. TripAdvisor now trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol “TRIP”. In connection with the Spin-Off, on December 20, 2011, TripAdvisor Holdings, LLC, distributed approximately $406 million in cash to Expedia in the form of a dividend, prior to completion of the Spin-Off. This distribution was funded through borrowings under a new credit agreement, dated as of December 20, 2011, among TripAdvisor, TripAdvisor Holdings, LLC, TripAdvisor LLC, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as London agent. Such credit agreement together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes, certificates, assignments and related documents contemplated thereby is referred to herein as the “Credit Agreement.” The Credit Agreement provided for a five-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) to TripAdvisor Holdings, LLC in a principal amount of $400 million, repayable in quarterly installments equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount in year 2012 and 2.5% of the original principal amount in each year thereafter, with the balance payable on the final maturity date. The Credit Agreement also provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. All outstanding principal and interest under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility will be due and payable, and the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate, on December 20, 2016. Per the Separation Agreement we were to retain $165 million in cash on hand immediately following the Spin-off and the agreement also provided for a subsequent reconciliation process to ensure the appropriate amount was retained. The completion of this reconciliation resulted in us recording an additional receivable from Expedia of $7 million at December 31, 2011, which was subsequently received by us during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles for complete periods have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated and combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 15, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.   The financial statements and related financial information pertaining to the period preceding the Spin-Off have been presented on a combined basis and reflect the results of TripAdvisor that were ultimately transferred to us as part of the Spin-Off. The financial statements and related financial information pertaining to the period subsequent to the Spin-Off have been presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the Spin-Off, certain functions, including accounting, legal, tax, corporate development, treasury, employee benefits, financial reporting and real estate management, were historically managed by the corporate division of Expedia on behalf of its subsidiaries. The assets, liabilities and expenses related to the support of these centralized corporate functions have been allocated to us on a specific identification basis to the extent possible. Otherwise, allocations related to these services, in the form of a related-party services fee, were primarily based upon an estimate of the proportion of corporate amounts applicable to us. These allocations were determined on a basis that Expedia and we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the cost of services provided or the benefit received by us. These expenses were allocated based on a number of factors including headcount, estimated time spent and operating expenses. In the opinion of management, the assumptions and allocations have been made on a reasonable basis. Management believes that amounts allocated to TripAdvisor reflect a reasonable representation of the types of costs that would have been incurred if we had performed these functions as a stand-alone company. However, as estimation is inherent within the aforementioned allocation process, these combined financial statements do not include all of the actual amounts that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone entity during the periods presented and also do not necessarily reflect our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Description of Business TripAdvisor is an online travel company, empowering users to plan and have the perfect trip. TripAdvisor’s travel research platform aggregates reviews and opinions of members about destinations, accommodations (hotels, bed and breakfasts, specialty lodging and vacation rentals), restaurants and activities throughout the world through our flagship TripAdvisor brand. TripAdvisor-branded websites include tripadvisor.com in the United States and localized versions of the website in 29 other countries, including in China under the brand daodao.com. Beyond travel-related content, TripAdvisor websites also include links to the websites of our travel advertisers allowing travelers to directly book their travel arrangements. In addition to the flagship TripAdvisor brand, we manage and operate websites under 19 other travel brands, connected by the common goal of providing comprehensive travel planning resources across the travel sector. We derive substantially all of our revenue from advertising, primarily through click-based advertising and display-based advertising sales. In addition, we earn revenue through a combination of subscription-based offerings, transaction revenue from our flash sale website, SniqueAway, and from our recently-launched hotel booking site, Tingo, and other revenue including content licensing. Consolidation Our consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of TripAdvisor, our wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities we control, or in which we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary of expected cash profits or losses. We record our investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, using the equity method. We record noncontrolling interest in our consolidated and combined financial statements to recognize the minority ownership interest in our consolidated subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest in the earnings and losses of consolidated subsidiaries represent the share of net income or loss allocated to members or partners in our consolidated entities. Significant intercompany transactions between the TripAdvisor consolidated entities and accounts have been eliminated. Certain of our subsidiaries that operate in China, have variable interests in affiliated entities in China in order to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, which restrict foreign investment in Internet content provision businesses. Although we do not own the capital stock of some of our Chinese affiliates, we consolidate their results as we are the primary beneficiary of the cash losses or profits of these variable interest affiliates and have the power to direct the activities of these affiliates. Our variable interest entities are not material for all periods presented. Accounting Estimates We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated and combined financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income or loss during any period. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our consolidated and combined financial statements include revenue recognition; recoverability of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; income taxes; useful lives of property and equipment; purchase accounting and stock-based compensation. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain amounts related to our prior period results to conform to our current period presentation. During the fourth quarter of 2011, our management changed our non-GAAP financial measure that we use to measure our operating performance from Operating Income Before Amortization, or OIBA, to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently we have reclassified all of our depreciation expense, which previously had resided in technology and content expense and general and administrative expense, and have presented it as a separate line item on the consolidated and combined statement of operations. This reclassification had no net effect on either total operating expenses or total operating income. The table below provides a summary of that reclassification for the periods presented.   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="68%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="81%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="14%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center" style="border-bottom:1px solid #000000">Three Months Ended March 31. 2011 (in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr> <td height="8"> </td> <td height="8" colspan="4"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Depreciation </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4,102</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Technology and content </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(3,290</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> General and administrative </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(812</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom">) </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Seasonality Expenditures by travel advertisers tend to be seasonal. Traditionally, our strongest quarter has been the third quarter, which is a key travel research period, with the weakest quarter being the fourth quarter. However, adverse economic conditions or continued growth of our international operations with differing holiday peaks may influence the typical trend of our seasonality in the future.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08. ASU 2011-08 was issued to amend FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (Topic 350): Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. Otherwise, further testing would not be needed. The amendments in this update are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, and we adopted ASU 2011-08 on October 1, 2011 for the fiscal year 2011 goodwill impairment test. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated and combined financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation on Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). Under ASU 2011-05, there will no longer be the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, we have adopted the presentation requirements of ASU 2011-05 on December 31, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on our consolidated and combined financial statements. For information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 3: STOCK BASED AWARDS AND OTHER EQUITY INSTRUMENTS Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options. Our outstanding RSUs and stock options generally vest over five years and four years, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The total income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $1.6 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.   Stock Based Awards Other Equity Instruments assumed at Spin-Off Prior to the Spin-Off, we participated in the Amended and Restated Expedia, Inc. 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, under which we, through Expedia, granted RSUs, stock options, and other stock-based awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. Following the Spin-Off, these existing Expedia stock-based awards were primarily converted as follows:   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Each vested stock option to purchase shares of Expedia common stock converted into an option to purchase shares of Expedia common stock and an option to purchase shares of TripAdvisor common stock; </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Each unvested stock option to purchase shares of Expedia common stock converted into a stock option to purchase shares of common stock of the applicable company for which the employee was employed following the Spin-Off; and </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td width="2%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> All RSUs converted into RSUs of the applicable company for which the employee was employed following the Spin-Off. </td> </tr> </table> In addition, upon Spin-Off, we entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Mellon Investor Services LLC and issued warrants exercisable for TripAdvisor common stock in respect of previously outstanding warrants exercisable for Expedia common stock that were adjusted on account of Expedia’s reverse stock split and the Spin-Off. The warrants, which totaled 32,186,792 at Spin-Off, are not listed on any stock exchange, and expire on May 7, 2012. One tranche of warrants (issued in respect of Expedia warrants that had featured an exercise price of $12.23 per warrant prior to adjustment) are exercisable for 0.25 (one-quarter) of a share of TripAdvisor common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.48 per warrant, and the other tranche of warrants (issued in respect of Expedia warrants that had featured an exercise price of $14.45 per warrant prior to adjustment) are exercisable for 0.25 (one-quarter) of a share of TripAdvisor common stock at an exercise price equal to $7.66 per warrant. The exercise price may be paid in cash or via “cashless exercise” as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. In total, at Spin-Off, the warrants could be converted into a maximum of 8,046,698 shares of our common stock without any further adjustments to the Warrant Agreement.

A summary of certain important features of the 2011 Incentive Plan can be found in “Note 7—Stock Based Awards and Other Equity Instruments,” in the Notes to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The summary of the material terms of the 2011 Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2011 Incentive Plan which is incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 4.3. We did not grant any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we issued 59,951 RSUs under the 2011 Incentive Plan for which the fair value was measured based on the quoted price of our common stock at the date of grant of $33.27. We will amortize the fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of two years on a straight-line basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 there were 487,220 options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $14.69 and 275,648 RSUs ( inclusive of 94,839 RSUs withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements) were vested and released with a weighted average grant date fair value of $13.86. As of March 31, 2012, we had stock-based awards outstanding representing 6,757,324 shares of our common stock consisting of options to purchase 6,047,787 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $24.39 and weighted average remaining life of 4.1 years and approximately 709,537 RSUs.   Included in RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2012 are 400,000 RSUs awarded to one of our non-employee Directors, for which vesting is tied to achievement of performance targets and a requisite service period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were 263,630 warrants exercised which resulted in 65,907 shares of our common stock issued at a weighted average exercise price of $26.87. As of March 31, 2012 we had 31,923,162 outstanding warrants which are exercisable to purchase 7,980,791 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $27.10.

NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period and, accordingly, we measure our tax expense using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An enterprise is required, at the end of each interim reporting period, to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was 32.3% and 36.3%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the effective tax rate is less than the federal statutory rate primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions outside the United States, where our effective tax rate is lower, which was partially offset by state income taxes, non-deductible stock compensation and accruals on uncertain tax positions. The change in the effective tax rate for 2012 compared to the 2011 rate was primarily due to an increase in earnings in jurisdictions outside the United States. Our policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and income tax liabilities as part of our income tax expense. As of March 31, 2012, accrued interest is $0.4 million, net of federal benefit, and no penalties have been accrued. We do not anticipate any material releases in the next twelve months. We are subject to taxation in the United States and various States and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s tax years for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES There have been no material changes to our commitments and contingencies since December 31, 2011. (Refer to “Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011.) In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings and claims involving alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, defamation, and other claims. Rules of the SEC require the description of material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine litigation incident to the registrant’s business, and advise that proceedings ordinarily need not be described if they primarily involve damages claims for amounts (exclusive of interest and costs) not individually exceeding 10% of the current assets of the registrant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. In the judgment of management, none of the pending litigation matters that the Company and its subsidiaries are defending involves or is likely to involve amounts of that magnitude. There may be claims or actions pending or threatened against us of which we are currently not aware and the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on us.

NOTE 6: DEBT Term Loan Facility Due 2016 and Revolving Credit Facility Overview On December 20, 2011, in connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides $600 million of borrowing including:   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="9%"> </td> <td width="3%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> the Term Loan Facility, or Term Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million with a term of five years due December 2016; and </td> </tr> </table>   <table style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="9%"> </td> <td width="3%" valign="top" align="left">•</td> <td width="1%" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million available in U.S. dollars, Euros and British pound sterling with a term of five years expiring December 2016. </td> </tr> </table> The Term Loan and any loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest by reference to a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio. We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee, on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. The Term Loan and loans under the Revolving Credit Facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, or the Eurocurrency Spread, or the alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus 75 basis points, and undrawn amounts are currently subject to a commitment fee of 30 basis points.   As of March 31, 2012 we are using a one-month interest period Eurocurrency Spread which is approximately 2.0% per annum. Interest is currently payable on a monthly basis while we are borrowing under the one-month interest rate period. The current interest rates are based on current assumptions, leverage and LIBOR rates and do not take into account that rates will reset periodically. The Term Loan principal will be repayable in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter equal to 1.25%, with the first installment of $5 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The payments for the year ending December 31, 2012 will be equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount and will be equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount in each year thereafter, with the balance due on the final maturity date. The Revolving Credit Facility includes $40 million of borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and $40 million for borrowings on same-day notice. Immediately following the Spin-Off, $10 million was drawn down under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Covenants The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, engage in mergers or consolidations, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock, make investments, loans or advances, prepay certain subordinated indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend material agreements governing certain subordinated indebtedness, and change our fiscal year. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum cash interest coverage ratio, and contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under Credit Agreement and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of March 31, 2012 we believe we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. The full text of the Credit Agreement is incorporated by reference on our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012 for the year ending December 31, 2011, as Exhibit 4.2.   Chinese Credit Facilities In addition to our borrowings under the Credit Agreement, we maintain our Chinese Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $20 million and $17 million of short term borrowings outstanding, respectively. In August 2010, certain of our Chinese subsidiaries entered into a RMB 67,000,000 (approximately $10 million), one-year revolving credit facility with Bank of America (the “Chinese Credit Facility—BOA”). In June 2011, the Chinese Credit Facility-BOA was amended to extend the facility to March 2012 and increase the borrowing capacity to RMB 126,000,000 (approximately $20 million). In December 2011 the Chinese Credit Facility—BOA was amended to extend the facility to September 2012. The Chinese Credit Facility—BOA currently bears interest based at 120% of the People’s Bank of China’s base rate, which was 6.56% as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In April 2012, we increased our borrowing capacity on the Chinese Credit Facility-BOA to RMB (138,600,000) (approximately $22 million) and also amended the facility to extend the termination date to December 2012. In addition, during April 2012, certain of our Chinese subsidiaries entered into a RMB 125,000,000 (approximately $20 million) one-year revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (“Chinese Credit Facility-JPM”). This facility currently bears interest based on 100% of the People’s Bank of China’s base rate. There have been no borrowings on the Chinese Credit Facility-JPM to date.

NOTE 7: SEGMENT INFORMATION We have one reportable segment: TripAdvisor. We determined our segment based on how our chief operating decision maker manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. Our primary operating metric for evaluating segment performance is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income plus: (1) depreciation of property and equipment, including internal use software and website development; (2) amortization of intangible assets; (3) stock-based compensation; and (4) non-recurring expenses incurred to effect the Spin-Off during the year ended December 31, 2011. Such amounts are detailed in our segment reconciliation below. In addition, please see our discussion of Adjusted EBITDA in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below. The following table is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income and net income for the periods presented (in thousands):   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%" border="0"

NOTE 8: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock and Class B Common Stock Our authorized common stock consists of 1.6 billion shares of common stock with par value of $0.001 per share, and 400 million shares of Class B common stock with par value of $0.001 per share. Both classes of common stock qualify for and share equally in dividends, if declared by our Board of Directors. Common stock is entitled to one vote per share and Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Holders of TripAdvisor common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect a number of directors equal to 25% percent of the total number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which is currently three directors. Class B common stockholders may, at any time, convert their shares into common stock, on a one for one share basis. Upon conversion, the Class B common stock is retired and is not available for reissue. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of TripAdvisor the holders of both classes of common stock have equal rights to receive all the assets of TripAdvisor after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied. As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 15, 2012 (“Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation”), in connection with the Spin-Off a one-for-two reverse stock split of outstanding Expedia capital stock occurred immediately prior to the Spin-Off, which resulted in 120,661,020 shares of Common Stock and 12,799,999 shares of Class B common stock outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off. Preferred Stock In addition to common stock, we are authorized to issue up to 100 million preferred shares, with $ 0.001 par value per share, with terms determined by our Board of Directors, without further action by our stockholders. At March 31, 2012, no preferred shares had been issued. Share Repurchases During the period January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012, our Board of Directors did not authorize any share buyback program and we have not repurchased any shares of outstanding common stock. Dividends During the period January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012, our Board of Directors did not declare any dividends on our outstanding common stock. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is comprised of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We disclose the fair value of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy using the following three categories: Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The following tables provide a summary of the fair value measurements of our assets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" border="0"

One of our acquisitions made during 2008 includes noncontrolling interests with certain rights whereby we may acquire, and the minority shareholders may sell to us, the additional shares of the subsidiary, at fair value or at adjusted fair values at our discretion, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fair value determinations are based on various internal valuation techniques, including market comparables and discounted cash flow projections and is considered a Level 3 liability at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Certain assumptions are used in determining fair value, including revenue growth rates and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions would impact the fair value. Changes in the fair value of the shares for which the minority holders may sell to us are recorded to the redeemable noncontrolling interest with charges or credits to additional paid in capital. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest is not material for all periods presented and is included in other current liabilities. We currently invest excess cash balances primarily in cash deposits and money market investment accounts at major banks. The carrying amount of cash deposits, trade receivables, related party receivables, trade payables, and accrued and other current liabilities, as reported on the unaudited consolidated and combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate and are considered to approximate fair value.

NOTE 11: EARNINGS PER SHARE As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 15, 2012 (“Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation,”) in connection with the Spin-Off a one-for-two reverse stock split of outstanding Expedia capital stock occurred immediately prior to the Spin-Off, which resulted in 120,661,020 shares of common stock and 12,799,999 shares of Class B common stock outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off. Basic Earnings Per Share For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we computed basic earnings per share using the number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011 plus the weighted average of any additional shares issued and outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we computed basic earnings per share using the number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off, as if such shares were outstanding for the entire period. Diluted Earnings Per Share For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we computed diluted earnings per share using (i) the number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 2011, (ii) the weighted average of any additional shares issued and outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and (iii) if dilutive, the incremental common stock that we would issue upon the assumed exercise of stock options and stock warrants and the vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method as of March 31, 2012. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed proceeds calculation includes the actual proceeds to be received from the employee upon exercise, the average unrecognized compensation cost during the period and any tax benefits credited upon exercise to additional paid-in-capital. The treasury stock method assumes that a company uses the proceeds from the exercise of an award to repurchase common stock at the average market price for the period. Windfall tax benefits created upon the exercise of an award would be added to assumed proceeds, while shortfalls charged to additional paid-in-capital would be deducted from assumed proceeds. Any shortfalls not covered by the windfall tax pool would be charged to the income statement and would be excluded from the calculation of assumed proceeds, if any. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we computed diluted earnings per share using (i) the number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off, as no TripAdvisor equity awards were outstanding prior to the Spin-Off. Below is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (in thousands, except for per share information):   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%"

RSUs, representing the right to acquire 1,820,647 and 59,951 shares of common stock, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were outstanding but were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. Although these share based awards were antidilutive at March 31, 2012, they may be dilutive in future quarters’ calculations. In addition, as of March 31, 2012, there are performance based RSUs issued and outstanding representing the right to acquire 400,000 shares of common stock, for which the targets required to trigger vesting have not been achieved; therefore, such awards were also excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share at March 31, 2012. The earnings per share amounts are the same for common stock and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.

NOTE 12: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Expedia Following the Spin-Off, TripAdvisor and Expedia are related parties since they are under common control. Revenue we derived from related party transactions with Expedia was $51.6 million and $53.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which primarily consisted of click-based advertising and other advertising services provided to Expedia and its subsidiaries and is recorded at contract value, which we believe is a reasonable reflection of the value of the services provided. This related-party revenue represented 28% and 36% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included a related-party shared services fee of $2 million, which was comprised of allocations from Expedia for accounting, legal, tax, corporate development, treasury, financial reporting, real estate management and included an allocation of employee compensation within these functions. This related-party shared service fee ended in connection with the Spin-Off. These allocations were determined on a basis that Expedia and we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the cost of services provided or the benefit received by us. These expenses were allocated based on a number of factors including headcount, estimated time spent and operating expenses. It was not practicable to determine the amounts of these expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as an unaffiliated entity. In the opinion of our management, the allocation method was reasonable. Other related-party operating expenses which were included within Selling and Marketing expense were approximately $2 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which primarily consisted of marketing expense for exit windows. Our net related party receivable with Expedia and its subsidiaries reflected in our consolidated and combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $33.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively. We received $7 million from Expedia during the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was owed to us as a result of the subsequent reconciliation process allowed in the Separation Agreement related to the approximate $406 million distribution paid to Expedia immediately prior to the Spin-Off. This balance was included in our related party receivable balance at December 31, 2011. For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between us and Expedia at and after the Spin-Off, and to provide for an orderly transition, we and Expedia entered into various agreements, including, among others, the Separation Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Employee Matters agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, and commercial agreements. The various commercial agreements, including click-based advertising agreements, content sharing agreements and display-based and other advertising agreements, have terms of one to three years. The full texts of the Separation Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and the Master Advertising Agreement (CPC) are incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as Exhibits 2.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.6 (10.6 filed in redacted form pursuant to confidential treatment request), respectively.
