The amount presented in the second quarter of 2025 represents the reversal of an estimated accrual related to the settlement of a regulatory related matter, based on updated information at the time. The Company expensed certain costs related to shareholder activism of $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2026. Represents a recovery of $4.8 million related to an external fraud incident, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has reduced Adjusted EBITDA by this recovery amount during the first quarter of 2026. The Company considers such recovery to be non-recurring in nature. Depreciation and amortization. Includes capitalized website development amortization. (5) Consolidated 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 (including non-operational costs related to significant shareholder activism, which includes third-party advisory, legal, and other professional fees); 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. (6) 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. 26 Appendix Segment adjusted EBITDA is our segment profit measure and 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, long-lived assets and intangible 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 (i ncluding non-operational costs related to significant shareholder activism, which includes third-party advisory, legal, and other professional fees ; and (9) non-recurring expenses and income unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. Operating metrics: We use the operating metrics 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 these metrics, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way. Management believes it is useful to monitor these metrics 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 these metrics to improve their accuracy. We make these key metrics available to investors because we believe they are 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 they may be used to help analyze the health of our business. These metrics 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 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. We define an "experience booking" as a single tour, activity, or attraction that can be purchased through Viator's platform for one or several travelers, prior to adjustments such as date changes, refunds, or cancellations. This metric is reported at the time the booking is made. As an example, a single experience booked in January for three travelers would be reported as one experience booking in the first quarter. We believe that the number of experience bookings, an operational measure, is a useful indicator of the scale of our marketplace. * Full-year totals reflect data as reported and may differ from the summation of the quarterly data on this table due to rounding. . 27 Attention : This is an excerpt of the original content.
