Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors listed or described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and any subsequent filings.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with the documents that we reference in it and have filed as exhibits, should be read in its entirety with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from our expectations.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Airbnb, Inc. (the “Company” or “Airbnb”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2008 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company operates a global platform for unique stays, experiences, and services. The Company’s marketplace model connects hosts and guests (collectively referred to as “customers”) online or through mobile devices to book these offerings around the world.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026 (“2025 Annual Report”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain immaterial amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for these interim periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair value of investments, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets from acquisitions, contingent liabilities, insurance reserves, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and income and non-income taxes, among others. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
As the impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including inflation, interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, wars and other geopolitical conflicts, and trade controls continue to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, the Company’s future unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements could be affected.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk associated with long-term debt. The Company enters into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. All derivative instruments are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company presents derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, even if they are subject to master netting arrangements with the counterparties. The accounting treatment for derivative gains and losses is based on intended use and hedge designation. The Company classifies cash flows related to derivative instruments as operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash Flow Hedges
Gains and losses arising from amounts that are included in the assessment of cash flow hedge effectiveness are initially deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings and in the same line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not exclude any components in the assessment of hedge effectiveness for forwards and options.
If it is no longer probable that a forecasted hedged transaction will occur in the initially identified time period, hedge accounting is discontinued and the Company accounts for the associated derivatives as undesignated derivative instruments. Gains and losses associated with derivatives no longer designated as hedging instruments in AOCI are recognized immediately in other income (expense), net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations if it is probable that the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur by the end of the initially identified time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter. In rare circumstances, the additional period of time may exceed two months due to extenuating circumstances related to the nature of the forecasted transaction that are outside the control or influence of the Company.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net.
Fair Value Hedges
For derivative instruments designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the change in the fair value is recognized in other income (expense), net in the period of change, along with the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The fair value is recorded in other assets or other liabilities, with a corresponding adjustment to the underlying hedged item on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2025-06 to simplify the criteria required to capitalize internally developed software. The update simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. At adoption, there was no impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2026.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 that allows companies to apply a practical expedient when estimating credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. At adoption, there was no impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2026.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, which establishes a new accounting model for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. Under the update, an entity must disclose whether the environmental credits are for compliance, exchange, or voluntary purposes, which would determine the accounting treatment. The amendments are effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, which amends the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging to improve and simplify the application of hedge accounting. The update aligns hedge accounting more closely with an entity’s risk management activities and provides targeted improvements to existing guidance. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses, for both annual and interim periods in a tabular format in the footnotes to the financial statements, to include disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The update is effective for public companies on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, and the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Investments Accounted for Under the Equity Method
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, the carrying values of the Company’s equity method investments in privately-held companies were $47 million and $64 million, respectively. Impairment charges were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026. Unrealized losses were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a realized gain of $71 million on the sale of an equity investment, which was recognized in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The realized gain resulted from the cash proceeds received in connection with the acquisition of the investee by a third party and reflects the difference between the proceeds and the investment’s carrying value.
Equity Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
The Company holds equity investments in privately-held companies where fair values are not readily determinable and in which it lacks a controlling interest or significant influence. The investments are classified within other assets, noncurrent on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net carrying value of these investments was $11 million and $39 million as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $30 million and $8 million, respectively, with no impairment charges recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026. There was an upward adjustment of $8 million for an observable price change recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, with no upward adjustments for observable price changes recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
As of September 30, 2026, the cumulative impairment and downward adjustments for observable price changes were $115 million.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Interest Rate Risk
In March 2026, in connection with the Company’s issuance of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $1.7 billion. These interest rate swaps effectively converted the fixed interest rates on the $850 million principal amount of the 4.65% senior notes due March 2031 (“2031 Notes”) and $800 million of the principal amount of the 5.25% senior notes due March 2036 (“2036 Notes”) to floating interest rates based on the benchmark interest rate (Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)). Under the terms of the swaps, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments from the swap counterparties and makes floating-rate interest payments based on SOFR plus a fixed spread.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has a portion of its business denominated and transacted in foreign currencies, which subjects the Company to foreign exchange risk, and it uses derivative instruments to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business.
The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives to partially offset its business exposure to foreign exchange risk. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including instances where the cost of hedging is determined to outweigh the potential benefit of mitigating the exposure. There can be no assurance that the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates.
To protect revenue from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, or other instruments, and may designate these instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company initiated a foreign exchange cash flow hedging program to minimize the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on future revenue. The Company generally hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency exposure associated with revenue, typically for up to 18 months.
The Company may also enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges to offset a portion of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The following table summarizes the effect of derivative instruments on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

(1)Derivative assets and liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs. These inputs include currency rates and interest rate yield curves for foreign exchange contracts, and interest rate yield curves for interest rate swaps.
(2)Noncurrent derivative assets were immaterial.
To limit credit risk, the Company generally enters into master netting arrangements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, under which the Company is allowed to settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. As of September 30, 2026, the potential effect of these rights of offset associated with the Company’s derivative contracts would be a reduction to both derivative assets and liabilities of $16 million, resulting in net derivative assets of $102 million and derivative liabilities of $109 million.

Realized losses on derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments reclassified from AOCI to revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were $42 million and $41 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2 million and $36 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, cumulative unrealized gains (losses) recorded in AOCI, net of tax, related to derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments were $(59) million and $59 million, respectively.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Realized gain (loss) on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was $22 million and $50 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was $(16) million and $(4) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $43 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
The total notional amount of outstanding derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was $2.7 billion and $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
As of September 30, 2026, approximately $48 million of deferred net gains on both outstanding and matured derivatives in AOCI were expected to be reclassified to revenue during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions which will be recorded in revenue. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to revenue are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $3.1 billion and $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, respectively.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as fair value hedges for accounting purposes, and these fair value hedges meet the shortcut method requirements under GAAP. Accordingly, the gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps completely offset the changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying Senior Notes that are attributable to changes in market interest rates. The net interest settlements on the interest rate swaps, along with the offsetting fair value adjustments on the swaps and the hedged debt, are recognized as interest expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the recognized fair value losses on the Company’s interest rate swaps were $77 million and $109 million, respectively.
Note 7. Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
On March 16, 2026, the Company issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to fully repay, upon their maturity, the $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”), which were the Company’s only outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025 and were classified as current. The Company incurred debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $22 million in connection with the Senior Notes offering, which were allocated on a pro rata basis to the $850 million of 4.40% senior notes due March 2029 (“2029 Notes”), the 2031 Notes, and the 2036 Notes. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized on an effective interest rate method to interest expense, in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, over the contractual term of the Senior Notes. The principal maturities of the Senior Notes over the next five years total approximately $1.7 billion, consisting of the 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes, with the remaining $800 million maturing thereafter.
The Senior Notes rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 16 and September 16 of each year.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs associated with the 2026 Notes was immaterial.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; and (iii) in the case of the Company, consolidate with, merge into or sell, convey or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to any other person, in each case as set forth in the indenture. These covenants are, however, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The indenture governing the Senior Notes also contains customary event of default provisions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2026.
2022 Credit Facility
In October 2022, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, which matures on October 31, 2027 and provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $1.0 billion (“2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility provides a $200 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit.
The 2022 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt and liens, undergo fundamental changes, as well as certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2026.
As of September 30, 2026, no amounts were drawn under the 2022 Credit Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaled $19 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement which terminated and replaced the 2022 Credit Facility. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $399 million and $462 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively, and $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has commitments including purchase obligations for web-hosting services and other commitments for brand marketing. As of September 30, 2026, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the Company’s commitments, as disclosed in its 2025 Annual Report.
Lodging Tax Obligations and Other Non-Income Tax Matters Lodging Tax Obligations
Some states and localities in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world impose transient occupancy or lodging accommodations taxes (“Lodging Taxes”) on the use or occupancy of lodging accommodations or other traveler services. As of September 30, 2026, the Company collected and remitted Lodging Taxes in approximately 37,000 jurisdictions around the world on behalf of its hosts. Such Lodging Taxes are generally remitted to tax jurisdictions within a 30- to 90-day period following the end of each month.
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, the Company had an obligation to remit Lodging Taxes collected from guests on bookings in these jurisdictions totaling $
387 million and $502 million, respectively. These payables were recorded in accrued expenses, accounts payable, and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In jurisdictions where the Company does not collect and remit Lodging Taxes, hosts are primarily responsible for such taxes. The Company has estimated Lodging Tax liabilities in a certain number of jurisdictions with respect to state, city, and local taxes where management believes it is probable that the Company can be held jointly liable with hosts for taxes and the related amounts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, accrued obligations related to these estimated taxes, including estimated penalties and interest, totaled $
114 million and $134 million, respectively. With respect to all other Lodging Taxes for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, the Company is unable to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued.
The Company’s potential obligations with respect to Lodging Taxes could be affected by various factors, which include, but are not limited to, whether the Company determines or any tax authority asserts that the Company has a responsibility to collect lodging and related taxes on either historical or future transactions, or by the introduction of new ordinances and taxes that subject the Company’s operations to such taxes. Accordingly, the ultimate resolution of Lodging Taxes may be greater or less than the liabilities that the Company has recorded.
The Company is currently involved in disputes brought by certain domestic and international states and localities involving the payment of Lodging Taxes. These jurisdictions are asserting that the Company is liable or jointly liable with hosts to collect and remit Lodging Taxes. These disputes are in various stages and the Company continues to vigorously defend these claims. The Company believes that the statutes at issue impose a Lodging Tax obligation on the person exercising the taxable privilege of providing accommodations, or the Company’s hosts.
The imposition of such taxes on the Company could increase the cost of a guest booking and potentially cause a reduction in the volume of bookings on the Company’s platform, which would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. The Company will continue to
18

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
monitor the application and interpretation of lodging and related taxes and ordinances and will adjust accruals, as appropriate, based on any new information or further developments.
Other Non-Income Taxes
The Company is under audit and inquiry by various domestic and foreign tax authorities with regard to non-income tax matters. The subject matter of these contingent liabilities primarily arises from the Company’s transactions with its customers. Such disputes involve the applicability of non-income taxes such as transactional taxes (sales, value-added, business, digital service, and similar taxes) on services provided, as well as the applicability of withholding tax on payments made to hosts.
The Company has estimated non-income tax liabilities where management believes it is probable that the Company can be held liable for such taxes and the related amounts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026, accrued obligations related to these estimated taxes, including estimated penalties and interest, totaled $199 million and $271 million, respectively. In addition, the Company has identified reasonably possible exposures related to non-income taxes and has not accrued for these amounts since the likelihood of the contingent liability is less than probable. As of September 30, 2026, the Company estimates that the reasonably possible loss related to these matters in excess of the amounts accrued is between $290 million and $310 million; however, no assurance can be given as to the outcomes and the Company could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. Due to the inherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and judicial processes in certain jurisdictions, the final outcomes may exceed the estimated liabilities recorded.
With respect to all other transactional taxes and withholding tax on payments made to hosts for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, the Company is unable to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued.
Payroll Taxes
The Company is subject to regular payroll tax examinations by various international, state, and local jurisdictions. Although management believes its tax withholding remittance practices are appropriate, the Company may be subject to additional tax liabilities, including interest and penalties, if any tax authority disagrees with the Company’s withholding and remittance practices, or if there are changes in laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, or interpretations related to payroll tax withholding in the various international, state, and local jurisdictions.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company has been and is currently a party to various legal and regulatory matters arising in the normal course of business. Such proceedings and claims, even if not meritorious, can require significant financial and operational resources, including the diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s business objectives.
Regulatory Matters
The Company operates in a complex legal and regulatory environment, and its operations are subject to various U.S. and foreign laws, rules, and regulations, including those related to: Internet activities; short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and home sharing; real estate, property rights, housing, and land use; travel and hospitality; privacy and data protection; intellectual property; competition; health and safety; protection of minors; consumer protection; employment; payments, money transmission, economic and trade sanctions, anti-corruption, and anti-bribery; taxation; and others. In addition, the nature of the Company’s business exposes it to inquiries and potential claims related to the compliance of the business with applicable law and regulations. In some instances, applicable laws and regulations do not yet exist or are being applied, interpreted, or implemented to address aspects of the Company’s business, and such adoption, interpretation, or implementation could further alter or impact the Company’s business.
In certain instances, the Company has been party to litigation with municipalities relating to or arising out of certain regulations. In addition, the implementation and enforcement of regulation can have an impact on the Company’s business.
In July 2025, Airbnb received a letter from the Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs proposing to assess a fine of approximately 110 million Euro ($129 million) in connection with alleged non-compliance with short-term rental listing regulations in Spain. In September 2025, the Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs subsequently reduced the fine to approximately 65 million Euro ($76 million). Airbnb has disputed the fine and the applicability of these rules to short-term listings, and any potential loss is neither probable nor estimable at this time. In May 2026, pursuant to a court order in connection with these proceedings, Airbnb entered into an agreement to obtain a surety bond in the amount of 70 million Euro ($80 million) to suspend enforcement of the fine and cover any related interest pending resolution of the matter. The bond remains in force until the final conclusion of the court procedure, or until authorized cancellation, and has no fixed expiration date.
Global regulatory requirements and challenges affecting the Company’s business continue to increase. These challenges may have a material impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Intellectual Property
The Company has been and is currently subject to claims relating to intellectual property, including alleged patent infringement. Adverse results in such lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing the Company from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services, and may also cause the Company to change its business practices or require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenue or otherwise harm its business. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such cases and has not recorded any material liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements related to such matters.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Litigation and Other Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. These include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, employment, pricing, discrimination, consumer rights, personal injury, and property rights.
Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, the Company may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, and/or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, the Company believes based on its current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals represent management’s best estimate of probable losses. Such currently accrued amounts are immaterial to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, management’s views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Until the final resolution of legal matters, there may be an exposure to losses in excess of the amounts accrued. With respect to outstanding legal matters, the Company believes based on its current knowledge that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
Host Protections
The Company offers the Host Damage Protection program, which reimburses hosts up to $3 million for direct physical loss or damage to a host’s property caused by guests during a confirmed Airbnb stay if the guest fails to pay for the damage. The Company retains risk and also maintains insurance from third parties on a per claim basis to protect the Company’s financial exposure under this program. The Company also maintains Host Liability Insurance (“HLI”) and Experiences & Services Liability Insurance (“ELI”). HLI and ELI each consist of commercial general liability insurance policies, with the Company as named insured and hosts and their landlords as additional insureds. HLI provides coverage up to $1 million per Airbnb stay and ELI provides coverage up to $1 million per guest per Experience. Each coverage includes various market standard conditions, limitations, and exclusions.
Indemnifications The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its employees, officers, and directors. The indemnification agreements and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers and those employees who have entered into indemnification agreements to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. Subject to certain limitations, the indemnification agreements and Bylaws also require the Company to advance expenses incurred by its directors and officers and those employees who have entered into indemnification agreements. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification or advancement under the indemnification agreements or the Bylaws, and thus, there are no indemnification or advancement claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has included limited indemnification provisions in certain agreements with parties with whom the Company has commercial relations, which provisions are of varying scope and terms with respect to indemnification of certain matters, which may include losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements or out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, no significant costs have been incurred, either individually or collectively, in connection with the Company’s indemnification provisions.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including accurately predicting the proportion of the Company’s pre-tax income before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions, the U.S. tax benefits from foreign-derived deduction eligible income, audit-related developments, and the effects of tax law changes.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $418 million and $283 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026, and $574 million and $485 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased over the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the recognition of a $213 million valuation allowance against Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”) credits in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in current and deferred tax on U.S. and foreign earnings in line with profitability growth.

Airbnb, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets each quarter. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence in the various jurisdictions in which it operates related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable, with the exception of California research and development credits, federal CAMT credits, capital loss carryovers, losses subject to the dual consolidated loss rules, and certain state net operating losses. The Company’s policy is to not consider the impact of future years’ CAMT in its valuation allowance assessment for regular deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
The Company’s significant tax jurisdictions include the U.S., California, and Ireland. The Company is in litigation with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2013 tax year, has a pending refund claim for 2016, and is pursuing administrative appeals for 2017 and 2018. The primary issue in dispute for 2013 is the valuation of the Company’s international intellectual property which was sold to a subsidiary in 2013. In December 2020, the Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS which proposed an increase to the Company’s U.S. taxable income that could result in additional income tax expense and cash liability of $1.3 billion, plus penalties and interest, which exceeds the current reserve recorded in its consolidated financial statements by more than $1.0 billion. The Company strongly disagrees with the proposed adjustment and continues to vigorously contest it. The Company entered into an administrative dispute process with IRS Appeals, however an acceptable outcome was not reached. In May 2024, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (“Notice”) from the IRS related to the aforementioned valuation of its international intellectual property. The Notice claimed that the Company owes $1.3 billion in tax, plus penalties and interest. The Company will continue to pursue all available remedies to resolve this dispute. In July 2024, the Company petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (“Tax Court”) for redetermination, and if necessary, the Company will appeal the Tax Court’s decision to the appropriate appellate court. The Company believes that adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments that may ultimately result from these disputes. If the IRS prevails in the assessment of additional tax due based on its position and such tax and related interest and penalties, if any, exceeds the Company’s current reserves, such outcome could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and any assessment of additional tax could require a significant cash payment and have a material adverse impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Share Repurchase Program
In August 2025, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $6.0 billion of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Share repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 6.7 million and 20.9 million shares of Class A common stock for $857 million and $2.7 billion, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 4.4 million and 20.4 million shares of Class A common stock for $712 million and $2.8 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $2.7 billion available to repurchase shares of Class A common stock under its share repurchase program.

Segment Information
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The CODM assesses financial performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income. Segment assets are reported on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 13. Subsequent Events
2026 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
On October 30, 2026, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $1.0 billion (“2026 Credit Facility”). In connection with the consummation of the 2026 Credit Facility, the Company terminated its 2022 Credit Facility on October 30, 2026. The 2026 Credit Facility provides a $200 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50 million sub-limit for swingline loans, and permits the Company to request increases in the commitments of up to an additional $500 million, subject to lender participation. Letters of credit of approximately $19 million that were outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility were deemed issued under the 2026 Credit Facility upon closing and reduced the amount available for borrowing. The 2026 Credit Facility has a commitment fee based on the Company’s senior unsecured credit ratings with amounts that range from 0.07% to 0.15% per annum on any undrawn amounts, payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on borrowings is based on the Company’s senior unsecured credit ratings with amounts that range from (i) in the case of the Term SOFR borrowings, 0.75% to 1.25%, plus Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 0.00% to 0.25%, plus the greatest of (a) the prime rate as established in the Wall Street Journal; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; and (c) Term SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.00%, subject to a floor of 1.00%. Outstanding balances may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. The 2026 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur debt and on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens and undergo fundamental changes, as well as a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no amounts were drawn under the 2026 Credit Facility.
2026 Share Repurchase Program
On November 3, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to an additional $12 billion of the Company’s Class A common stock at management’s discretion. The Company’s prior share repurchase program, which authorized $6.0 billion, remains in effect with $2.7 billion available as of September 30, 2026. Share repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or accelerated share repurchase transactions or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Annual Report and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and any subsequent filings. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Airbnb was founded in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown into a global community of over 5.5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country and region across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences, and services that enable guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. We operate a global marketplace connecting guests with these offerings, collectively in over 220 countries and regions.
We operate with five key stakeholders in mind: our employees, shareholders, hosts, guests, and the communities we serve. Our commitment to making long-term decisions that benefit all these stakeholders is fundamental to our sustained success.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
•Top-Line Growth: Revenue grew by 19% to $4.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in the number of check-ins relating to Nights and Seats Booked, and a moderate increase in our Average Daily Rate (“ADR”).
•Increased Profitability: Net income grew by $516 million to $1.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. This improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth of 19%, which outpaced a 15% increase in total costs and expenses, and a $135 million decrease in our provision for income taxes, as the prior year included a $213 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”) credits.
•Cash Generation: Cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.4 billion in the same period in the prior year. Free Cash Flow1 (“FCF”) was $1.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.3 billion in the same period in the prior year.
•Share Repurchases: During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased 4.4 million shares of Class A common stock for $712 million, leaving $2.7 billion available to repurchase under our share repurchase program.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions on our Business
As we look forward, we recognize the potential impact of challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions on our business, including inflation, interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs and trade controls, wars and other geopolitical conflicts, and potential decreased consumer spending. The conflict in the Middle East has had and may continue to have an impact on booking trends. To date, these conditions have not had a material impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition; however, the impact in the future of these macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition is uncertain and will depend on future developments that we may not be able to accurately predict.
Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We track the following key business metrics and financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) (“non-GAAP financial measures”) to evaluate our operating performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that these key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results.
These key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and FCF non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP is provided under the subsection titled “— Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation” and “— Free Cash Flow Reconciliation” below. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Key Business Metrics
We review the following key business metrics to measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating these key metrics, which may hinder comparability with other companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way.
The following table summarizes our key business metrics, for each period presented below (in millions, except percentages):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2026 | % Change | 2025 | 2026 | % Change | ||||||||||||||||||
Nights and Seats Booked | 134 | 155 | 16 | % | 411 | 459 | 12 | % | |||||||||||||||
| Gross Booking Value | $ | 22,892 | $ | 27,715 | 21 | % | $ | 70,855 | $ | 84,149 | 19 | % | |||||||||||
Nights and Seats Booked
Nights and Seats Booked is a key measure of the scale of our platform, which in turn drives our financial performance. Nights and Seats Booked on our platform in a period represents the sum of the total number of nights booked for stays and the total number of seats booked for experiences and services, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred in that period. For example, a booking made on February 15 would be reflected in Nights and Seats Booked for our quarter ended March 31. If, in the example, the booking were canceled on May 15, Nights and Seats Booked would be reduced by the cancellation for our quarter ended June 30. A night can include one or more guests and can be for a listing with one or more bedrooms. Nights and Seats Booked grows as we attract new customers to our platform and as repeat guests increase their activity on our platform. A seat is booked for each participant in an experience or service. Substantially all of the bookings on our platform to date have come from nights. We believe Nights and Seats Booked is a key business metric to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as it represents a single unit of transaction on our platform.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in Nights and Seats Booked, compared to the same period in the prior year, was driven by strong growth across all regions, led by Latin America and Asia Pacific, as we continue to focus on international expansion. North America and EMEA grew more moderately. We also continued to benefit from our product initiatives, including improvements to search and merchandising, pricing and tools, flexible payment options, and sign-up and login.
Gross Booking Value
Gross Booking Value (“GBV”) represents the dollar value of bookings on our platform in a period, inclusive of host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees, and taxes, net of cancellations and alterations. The timing of recording GBV and related cancellations is similar to that described in the subsection titled “— Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Nights and Seats Booked” above. The entire amount of a booking is reflected in GBV in the quarter it occurs regardless of when payment is collected. Revenue is recognized upon check-in; accordingly, GBV has generally been a leading indicator of revenue. Our flexible payment options allow guests to defer a portion or all of their payment from the time of booking to a date closer to stay. In 2025, we launched Reserve Now, Pay Later (“RNPL”) and expanded it internationally in 2026. To date, RNPL bookings, which require no payment at the time of booking, have experienced higher cancellation rates than historic bookings in which some or all of the cash was received at the time of booking. As adoption of RNPL and our other flexible payment options continues to grow, the timing among GBV, revenue, and cash receipts has become less correlated and may continue to do so.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in GBV, compared to the same periods in the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in Nights and Seats Booked and a moderate increase in ADR. We saw GBV growth across all regions driven in part by the continued adoption of RNPL, led by Latin America and Asia Pacific, with North America and EMEA growing more moderately.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, FCF, FCF Margin, and constant currency revenue growth rate, which are described below. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and FCF non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP is provided below. Constant currency revenue growth rate is presented alongside, and should be read together with, revenue growth rate calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which is its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and net income margin as well as our other U.S. GAAP results. FCF and FCF Margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities and net cash provided by operating activities margin. FCF and FCF Margin do not reflect our ability to meet future contractual commitments and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Constant currency revenue growth rate has limitations as an analytical tool, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for revenue growth rate calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It excludes the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which can be significant and are a part of our reported results, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry.

| Non-GAAP Measure | Definition | Purpose of Non-GAAP Measure | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA Margin | Adjusted EBITDA: Net income adjusted for: •provision for income taxes, •other income (expense), net, •interest expense, •interest income, •depreciation and amortization, •stock-based compensation expense, •acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, •settlements and reserves for lodging, withholding, transactional and other non-income taxes where significant uncertainty exists as to how these taxes apply to users of our platform and Airbnb, and •stock-settlement obligations, which represent employer and related taxes related to our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”). Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. | •Enhances comparability on a consistent basis and provides investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. •Used by management to make operating decisions such as evaluating performance, performing strategic planning, and budgeting. | ||||||
| FCF & FCF Margin | FCF: Net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. FCF Margin: FCF divided by revenue. | •Indicator of liquidity that provides information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations, after purchases of property and equipment, that can be used for strategic initiatives. •Used by management to measure operational performance to assess our ability to generate cash from ongoing business operations, and to make decisions about capital allocation. | ||||||
Constant currency revenue growth rate | The change in the current period revenue over the prior comparable period where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using the exchange rates of the comparative period. | •Enhances comparability and provides investors with useful insight into the operational changes in revenue. •Used by management for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate performance by excluding the effects of foreign currency volatility which is not indicative of our core operating results. | ||||||

Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 50 | % | 52 | % | 37 | % | 38 | % | |||||||||
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because they are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations, and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, was primarily due to revenue growth from an increase in the number of check-ins for Nights and Seats Booked and a moderate increase in ADR, which outpaced the growth in our operating expenses.
Free Cash Flow Reconciliation
The following is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to FCF (in millions, except percentages):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | ||||||||||||||
| Revenue | $ | 4,095 | $ | 4,869 | $ | 9,463 | $ | 11,155 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 1,356 | $ | 1,508 | $ | 4,120 | $ | 4,486 | |||||||||
| Purchases of property and equipment | (7) | (82) | (28) | (103) | |||||||||||||
| FCF | $ | 1,349 | $ | 1,426 | $ | 4,092 | $ | 4,383 | |||||||||
| FCF Margin | 33 | % | 29 | % | 43 | % | 39 | % | |||||||||
Our FCF is impacted by the timing of GBV, as we generally collect our service fees at booking, which typically occurs before a stay, experience, or service. For bookings under RNPL, we collect payment closer to the date of stay. The continued expansion of RNPL results in a shift in timing of when cash for unearned fees is received, which impacts our FCF. Funds held on behalf of customers and amounts payable to customers do not impact FCF, except for interest earned on those funds.
The increase in FCF was driven by higher net income, partially offset by working capital outflows, including the impact from the continued expansion of RNPL and purchase of property in New York in July 2026.
Constant Currency
In addition to revenue growth rates derived from revenue presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose the percentage change in our current period revenue from the corresponding prior period by comparing the change in revenue using constant currencies. We present constant currency revenue growth rate information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying revenue performed excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates. We use the percentage change in constant currency revenues for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe the presentation of revenue on a constant currency
27
basis in addition to the U.S. GAAP presentation helps improve the ability to understand our performance because it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our core operating results.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal, reflecting typical global travel patterns. Revenue, which is recognized when guests check-in, and Adjusted EBITDA have historically been highest in the third quarter and lowest in the first quarter. Holiday timing, such as Easter, and other events can also shift quarterly performance.
In a typical year, Nights and Seats Booked are generally higher in the first, second, and third quarters and lowest in the fourth quarter, with the peak travel season occurring in the third quarter across North America and EMEA. GBV generally follows the same seasonal trends as Nights and Seats Booked.
Seasonality in GBV also affects FCF. Unearned fees typically rise when GBV rises since guests pay at the time of booking. As such, FCF is typically highest in the first quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. However, increasing adoption of RNPL, which shifts payment and unearned fees closer to the date of stay, is changing the typical seasonal dynamics between GBV and FCF.

See Note 10, Income Taxes, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Conditions of Liquidity
As of September 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaling $12.6 billion. As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.3 billion, which included $2.8 billion held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and interest-bearing accounts and highly-liquid securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. As of September 30, 2026, short-term investments totaled $5.3 billion. Short-term investments primarily consist of highly-liquid investment grade corporate debt securities, time deposits, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, U.S. government and government agency debt securities (“government bonds”), certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. These short-term investments do not include funds of $7.4 billion as of September 30, 2026, that were held for bookings in advance of guests completing check-ins, which are recorded separately on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets in funds receivable and amounts held on behalf of customers with a corresponding liability in funds payable and amounts payable to customers.
In March 2026, we issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, consisting of $850 million of 4.40% senior notes due March 2029, $850 million of 4.65% senior notes due March 2031, and $800 million of 5.25% senior notes due March 2036. We utilized $2.0 billion of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of our convertible senior notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) upon their maturity. The remaining net proceeds of approximately $500 million (less underwriting discounts and offering expenses) were retained for general corporate purposes. See Note 7, Debt, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
In October 2026, we entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (“2026 Credit Facility”), resulting in the termination of our five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement that would have otherwise matured on October 31, 2027. The 2026 Credit Facility provides us with access to $1.0 billion of commitments. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no amounts were drawn under the 2026 Credit Facility. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Our cash and cash equivalents are generally held at large global systemically important banks which are subject to high capital requirements and are required to regularly perform stringent stress tests related to their ability to absorb capital losses. Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments held outside the U.S. may be repatriated, subject to certain limitations, and would be available to be used to fund our domestic operations. However, repatriation of such funds may result in additional tax liabilities. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances in the U.S. are sufficient to fund our working capital needs.
Material Cash Requirements
Our principal contractual obligations and commitments consist primarily of our long-term debt and the associated ongoing semi-annual interest payments. On March 16, 2026, we issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and utilized a portion of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of our $2.0 billion convertible 2026 Notes. The Senior Notes bear fixed interest rates that will materially increase our ongoing semi-annual cash interest obligations. See Note 7, Debt, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
In August 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program with an authorization to purchase up to $6.0 billion of our Class A common stock. Share repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased 4.4 million and 20.4 million shares of Class A common stock for $712 million and $2.8 billion, respectively, through our share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, we had $2.7 billion available to repurchase shares of Class A common stock under our share repurchase program.
In November 2026, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to an additional $12 billion of our Class A common stock at management’s discretion. Share repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by any combination of such methods. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025 (in millions):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2026 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 4,120 | $ | 4,486 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (448) | (1,019) | ||||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (2,377) | (2,110) | ||||||
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | 658 | (153) | ||||||
| Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 1,953 | $ | 1,204 | ||||
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $366 million, primarily driven by an increase in net income due to growth in bookings, partially offset by a decrease in unearned fees due to the continued expansion of RNPL and other flexible payment options.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $571 million, primarily driven by an increase in purchases of short-term investments, partially offset by proceeds from the sale and maturity of short-term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $267 million, primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of repayments, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of common stock and taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows relates to certain assets, principally cash balances held on behalf of customers, that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain of our subsidiaries. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, decreased by $811 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, mainly the Euro and British Pound. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash balances can serve as a natural hedge for the effect of exchange rates on our liabilities to our hosts and guests.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we believe that the cash flows generated from operating activities will meet our anticipated cash requirements in the short-term. In addition to normal working capital requirements, we anticipate that our short- and long-term cash requirements will include share repurchases, introduction of new products and offerings, development of our platform, debt repayments, expansion of sales and marketing activities, and charitable contributions, including to Airbnb.org. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our growth, headcount, and ability to attract and retain customers on our platform. Additionally, we may in the future raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness to continue to fund our strategic initiatives. On a long-term basis, we plan to rely on either our access to the capital markets or our credit facility for any long-term funding not provided by operating cash flows and cash on hand. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may seek to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked arrangements, and/or debt, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and at reasonable rates, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks identified in Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. See Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Annual Report for a discussion of the assumptions and judgments involved in our critical accounting estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.
34
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk set forth in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) except for the following interest rate risk which supplements the market risks disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2026, we had $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes (“Senior Notes”) outstanding. To manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $1.7 billion that effectively converted the fixed interest rates on our $850 million of 4.65% senior notes due March 2031 and $800 million of 5.25% senior notes due March 2036 to floating interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Accordingly, our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates is on the hedged fixed-rate debt of approximately $1.7 billion.
An immediate hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would result in an estimated change of $17 million in our annualized interest expense, and would also impact the fair value of our hedged debt and related derivative instruments. The remainder of our outstanding Senior Notes bear interest at fixed rates, and therefore do not subject us to financial statement risk associated with cash flow changes in interest rates. See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Hedging, and Note 7, Debt, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired objectives. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
35
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. These include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to, among other things, regulatory matters, commercial matters, intellectual property, competition, tax, employment, pricing, discrimination, consumer rights, personal injury, and property rights. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 10, Income Taxes, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, we may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, we believe based on our current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026. Our business, operations, and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Investors should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the reports referenced above, together with all of the other information in such reports and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.

Item 5. Other Information
2026 Credit Facility and Termination of the 2022 Credit Facility
On October 30, 2026, we entered into a five-year unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for initial commitments by a group of lenders led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. of $1.0 billion (“2026 Credit Facility”). In connection with the consummation of the 2026 Credit Facility, we terminated our 2022 Credit Facility on October 30, 2026. The 2026 Credit Facility provides a $200 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50 million sub-limit for swingline loans, and permits us to request increases in the commitments of up to an additional $500 million, subject to lender participation. Letters of credit of approximately $19 million that were outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility were deemed issued under the 2026 Credit Facility upon closing and reduced the amount available for borrowing. The 2026 Credit Facility has a commitment fee based on our senior unsecured credit ratings with amounts that range from 0.07% to 0.15% per annum on any undrawn amounts, payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on borrowings is based on our senior unsecured credit ratings with amounts that range from (i) in the case of the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings, 0.75% to 1.25%, plus Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 0.00% to 0.25%, plus the greatest of (a) the prime rate as established in the Wall Street Journal; (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; and (c) Term SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.00%, subject to a floor of 1.00%. Outstanding balances may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. The 2026 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt and on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens and undergo fundamental changes, as well as a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no amounts were drawn under the 2026 Credit Facility.
The foregoing summary of the 2026 Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
AI Lab Transaction
In November 2026, Airbnb entered into an IP Sale and Transaction Agreement with a recently formed and privately held artificial intelligence lab (the “AI Lab”), pursuant to which the AI Lab acquired certain intellectual property from Airbnb and reimbursed Airbnb for certain expenses in exchange for cash consideration of $7.1 million. Airbnb also obtained (i) the right to invest in future AI Lab equity financing rounds at Airbnb’s election and (ii) a license to certain AI Lab intellectual property for internal use in Airbnb’s business. Brian Chesky, Airbnb’s co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of its board of directors, is the founder of, holds a controlling equity interest in, and performs services for the AI Lab. Ahmad Al-Dahle, Airbnb’s Chief Technology Officer, holds an equity interest in and performs services for the AI Lab. Their roles with the AI Lab do not change their duties and responsibilities to Airbnb, and they continue to devote the time and attention necessary to fulfill those responsibilities. The foregoing arrangement was considered and approved by a special committee of independent and disinterested members of Airbnb’s board of directors in accordance with Airbnb’s related party transaction policy.
