NORWALK, CT-...Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG) (the 'Company,' 'we,' 'our,' or 'us') today reported its first quarter 2026 financial results.

Room nights grew 6% compared to the first quarter of 2025. We estimate room night growth was negatively impacted by approximately 2 percentage points by the conflict in the Middle East.

Gross bookings grew 15% compared to the first quarter of 2025, or approximately 8% on a constant

currency basis. We estimate that the conflict in the Middle East impacted gross bookings growth in line with the impact observed in room night growth.

Revenue grew 16% compared to the first quarter of 2025, or approximately 10% on a constant currency basis. We estimate that the conflict in the Middle East impacted revenue growth slightly lower than the impact observed in room night growth.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA grew 225% and 19%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

On April 2, 2026, the Company effected the 25-for-1 stock split of its common stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

'Despite headwinds associated with the Middle East conflict, we are pleased to report a solid start to 2026, with Adjusted EBITDA growth of 19% (net income growth of 225%), alongside 15% growth in gross bookings and 16% revenue growth,' said Glenn Fogel, Chief Executive Officer of Booking Holdings. 'These results highlight the resilience of our business and the discipline of our execution. Although the conflict's dynamics impacted the quarter's results, our underlying performance exceeded expectations across all key metrics, with continued strength in our strategic growth areas, particularly in the U.S. Regardless of near-term uncertainty, we remain focused on the factors within our control-furthering our Connected Trip vision, expanding our global reach, and leveraging Generative AI to enhance the value we deliver to travelers and partners.'
