Methodology and excluded metrics
  • Booking Holdings' latest reported quarter is Q2 2026 (filed August 2026); latest full year is FY2025.
  • Core operational units (Room Nights, Rental Car Days, Airline Tickets) and Gross Bookings (Merchant, Agency, Total) come from the 'Statistical Data' table in each quarterly earnings release and Form 10-Q / 10-K MD&A. Starting Q4 2023, the earnings release rounds Gross Bookings to $ billions; exact $ millions for Q1–Q3 and full years come from Form 10-Q / 10-K, and Q4 2023–2025 exact $ millions are split via Q4 = full year (10-K) − nine months (10-Q).
  • Booking Holdings does not disclose dollar ADR; it reports quarterly Constant Currency accommodation ADR growth y/y (and ADR growth excluding regional mix effects) in its earnings presentations and releases.
  • On April 2, 2026, Booking Holdings effected a 25-for-1 stock split. Per-share metrics (Adjusted EPS, quarterly cash dividend per share) in Q1–Q2 2026 reflect post-split shares ($0.42/share quarterly dividend = $10.50/share pre-split).
  • Only the two permitted types of derived cells (shown in italic with formula) are included: (1) period splitting (Q4 = full year − nine months; quarterly cash flow = YTD − prior YTD) and (2) Consolidated (10-K) − Parent Company (Schedule I, Note 22) for cash & cash equivalents of combined operating subsidiaries (Booking.com B.V., Priceline, Agoda, KAYAK, OpenTable).
  • Eurostat monthly series (tour_ce_omr) covers short-stay accommodation booked across all four reporting platforms (Booking, Airbnb, Expedia, Tripadvisor) in the EU-27 and top European countries.
