- Booked room nights rose 6%, driven by mid-single digit growth in the U.S., low single digits in EMEA, and low double digits in the rest of the world; Europe remained pressured by macro headwinds and reduced air capacity.
- Consumer bookings grew 8%, led by strongest U.S. growth in 15 quarters.
- Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded nearly two points due to tight expense management and marketing leverage.
- B2B segment maintained momentum with 20 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth.
