Expedia lowers full-year revenue forecast on slow B2C growth
May 2, 2024 1:53 PM

Online travel agency Expedia ( EXPE ) cut its 2024 revenue growth forecast on Thursday, as gross bookings were hit by poor performance in its business-to-consumer segment.

Shares of the company were down about 8% after the bell.

"Given the Vrbo drag and the rate of acceleration in B2C thus far, we are lowering our full-year guidance to a range of mid- to high-single-digit top line growth with margins relatively in line versus last year," said CEO Peter Kern.

The Seattle-based company reported a quarterly adjusted profit of 21 cents per share, compared with a loss of 20 cents per share last year.

Total quarterly revenue was $2.89 billion, up 8% from a year earlier.
