Forward guidance

Airbnb anticipates a strong summer travel season with Q2 2022 revenue between $2.03 billion and $2.13 billion and expects a low double-digit EBITDA margin percentage improvement year-over-year.

Tailwinds

  • Continuing strong demand coming out of North America, EMEA and Latin America.
  • Number of nights stayed for the Easter holiday in April eclipse 2019 levels in Europe and Latin America.
  • Substantial demand for summer travel months in EMEA and North America.
  • Higher than historical demand for Q4 indicates that consumer confidence to travel remains strong beyond the summer months.
  • U.S. domestic demand this year has so far outpaced internal expectations and U.S. international bookings exceeding 2019 levels.

Headwinds

  • Additional COVID outbreaks.
  • Any impact to travel from the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Consumer price sensitivity.
  • Full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA remain highly sensitive to movements in ADR.
  • Continued fixed cost discipline may be offset by the impact of lower ADR.
