Revenue Recognition | NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION
There have been no material changes to our principal revenue streams, revenue recognition policies, performance obligations, description of and timing of services, or customer payment terms since December 31, 2024, as described under “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies”, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report. There was no significant revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. We have applied a practical expedient and do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations that have an original expected duration of less than one year. The Company expects to complete its performance obligations within one year from the initial transaction date. The value related to our remaining or partially satisfied performance obligations relates to subscription services that are satisfied over time or services that are recognized at a point in time, but not yet achieved.
Disaggregation of Revenue We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major products/revenue sources. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective under GAAP, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in “Note 12: Segment Information”, our business consists of three reportable segments – (1) Brand Tripadvisor; (2) Viator; and (3) TheFork. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue to segment revenue is included below:
(1) Our revenue is recognized primarily at a point in time for all reportable segments. (2) Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue within the Brand Tripadvisor segment is shown gross of intersegment (intercompany) revenue, which is eliminated on a consolidated basis. See “Note 12: Segment Information” for a discussion of intersegment revenue for all periods presented. Deferred Revenue Contract liabilities generally include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized as revenue as the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied, which we present as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet, including amounts that are refundable. As of January 1, 2025 and 2024, we had $47 million and $49 million, respectively, recorded as deferred revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which $29 million and $28 million, respectively, was recognized in revenue and $3 million and $2 million, respectively, was refunded due to cancellations by travelers, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our deferred revenue primarily results from the timing differences between when we receive customer payments and the time in which we satisfy our performance obligations. |
