Solid quarter, core OTA margin better than feared

Q1 revenue and EBITDA were ahead, with core OTA margins better than feared. Domestic trends remain soft, but this was offset by robust international growth that could accelerate as the company continues to build hotel supply. FY EBITDA guidance was maintained despite incremental weakness at trivago, and we remain Overweight as improving execution should continue to drive stock upside.
