Room nights booked — a key metric in the travel industry — jumped 10 per cent to 98.9 million, exceeding estimates for 96.1 million nights. Second-quarter revenue increased 6 per cent to $3.56 billion, ahead of analysts’ average estimate of $3.53 billion. As a result of that tapering demand, Expedia is cutting its full-year gross bookings growth forecast to the low end of its previous guidance range to 4 per cent, Chief Financial Officer Julie Whalen said on a call with investors, while forecasting 6 per cent growth in annual revenue. She also expects third-quarter gross bookings and revenue to increase in the range of 3 per cent to 5 per cent compared with a year ago.
