Forward guidance

For Q2 2024, Airbnb expects revenue between $2.68 billion and $2.74 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 8% to 10%.

Tailwinds

  • Robust demand for travel around international events such as the Olympics and Euro Cup.
  • Year-over-year revenue growth expected to accelerate in Q3 2024 compared to Q2 2024.
  • Year-over-year growth rate of nights booked in Q2 2024 to be relatively stable to that of Q1 2024.
  • ADR for the quarter will be modestly up compared to Q2 2023 due to mix shift, partially offset by the impact of FX rate changes.
  • For the full-year 2024, consistent with prior guidance, we expect to grow Adjusted EBITDA on a nominal basis and to deliver an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of at least 35%.

Headwinds

  • Year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 2024 will face a significant sequential headwind primarily due to the timing of the Easter holiday.
  • The inclusion of Leap Day in Q1 2024.
  • The impact of FX rate changes.
  • Adjusted EBITDA to be flat to up on a nominal basis, but down on an Adjusted EBITDA Margin basis, relative to Q2 2023.
  • Margin compression is primarily driven by pressure from the timing of Easter (the benefit to margin in Q1 2024 will become a headwind in Q2 2024), one-time payment processing incentive benefits impacting Q2 2023, and higher marketing expense (partially due to timing).
