(all figures in billion, except percentages)

Merchant

Under the merchant model, the company facilitates the booking of hotel rooms, alternative accommodations, airline seats, car rentals, and destination services from their travel suppliers and they are the merchant of record for such bookings. They provide travelers access to book hotel room reservations through their contracts with lodging suppliers, which provide them with rates and availability information. The travelers pay them for merchant hotel transactions before departing on their trip, generally when they book the reservation. The majority of the company’s merchant transactions relate to lodging bookings.

Expedia’s revenue from Merchant increased by 86.34% from $1.03 billion in Q3 2020 to $1.92 billion in Q3 2021 on a year-on-year basis.

Agency

Under the agency model, the company facilitates travel bookings and acts as the agent in the transaction, passing reservations booked by the traveler to the relevant travel provider. They receive commissions or ticketing fees from the travel supplier and/or traveler. They record revenue on air transactions when the traveler books the transaction, as they do not typically provide significant post-booking services to the traveler, and payments due to air carriers and payments due from air carriers are due at the ticketing time. Additionally, they generally record agency revenue from the hotel when the stayed night occurs as they provide post-booking services to the traveler and, thus consider the stay as when the performance obligation is satisfied.
