| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $548.9M | +19.1% | +15.9% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $11.2M | +147.3% | +30.5% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +97.3% | -0.3% | +0.5% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +0.3% | +104.0% | +47.4% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +2.0% | +139.7% | +40.1% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $3.2M | -81.6% | +470.7% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +0.6% | -84.5% | +419.8% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 17.0% | -12.4% | +1.2% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.22x | -42.1% | -13.4% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $358.4M | +19.2% | +9.8% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 0.15 vs 0.02 | +857.8% | -0.07 vs 0.04 | -281.4% |

Johannes Thomas: Good morning, and thank you for joining our Q2 2026 earnings call. This quarter marked 3 years since Jasmine, Andrej and I returned to trivago. With the ambition to turn around the company. At that time, trivago was not at a good place. We had come out of the pandemic weaker than other players in our space, Our product was no longer competitive. And our brand had suffered from years of underinvestment. We refocused the company on its core proposition, saving travelers time and money and on bringing trivago back to the top of travelers' minds. That work keeps paying off. In Q2, we delivered our 6th consecutive quarter of double digits year over year total revenue growth. Exceeding our expectation on both top and bottom line. Total revenue grew 21% year over year, and we achieved a positive adjusted EBITDA. Marking our first positive second quarter since 2023. To put this in context, the first half of the year is our investment period, while the second half is where we expect to earn the majority of our profits. Reaching profitability already in Q2 while substantially cutting our first half adjusted EBITDA loss shows how much our earnings profile has strengthened as we head into our strongest season. We achieved this and our continued growth despite foreign exchange headwinds and geopolitical pressures waiting on our Rest of the World segment. Let me share a few strategic highlights …
