The change in Trip.com Group's effective tax rate was primarily due to the combined impacts of changes in respective profitability of its subsidiaries with different tax rates, changes in deferred tax liabilities relating to withholding tax, certain non-taxable income or loss resulting from the fair value changes in equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and changes in valuation allowance provided for deferred tax assets.

Diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS was RMB3.67 (US$0.53) for the first quarter of 2026. Excluding share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS was RMB5.73 (US$0.83) for the first quarter of 2026. Each ADS currently represents one ordinary share of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, and held to maturity time deposit and financial products was RMB104.0 billion (US$15.1 billion). Recent Development The Company is and has been the subject of investigations or inquiries by national authorities regarding competition law matters, consumer protection issues, and other areas. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any current or future investigations, litigation or inquiries, it remains focused on maintaining robust compliance and governance standards. In January 2026, the Company received a notice of investigation from the State Administration for Market Regulation ("SAMR") that it had commenced an investigation into whether the Company has abused or is abusing a dominant market position to engage in monopolistic conduct pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law. As of the date of this press release, the Company is fully cooperating with the SAMR in its ongoing investigation, including by actively providing supplementary information and documentation, and will continue to engage constructively with the SAMR on compliance with regulatory requirements. Although the Company is currently unable to predict the timing, outcome or consequences of the investigation, or estimate the possible loss, that may be associated with it, the Company will continue to monitor developments closely. The SAMR's investigation findings could directly result in a significant fine, other financial penalties and/or changes to the Company's business practices and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company remains committed to continuously reviewing its business practices while providing high-quality products and services to users and partners worldwide. Business Outlook For the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects net revenue to grow by approximately 3%–8% year -over-year. Compared with the first quarter, the slower pace of growth is expected to have a corresponding impact on margins and bottom-line results. This reflects direct and indirect impacts from macro headwinds such as elevated energy pricing and geopolitical volatility, alongside operational adjustments the Company implemented to align with evolving industry standards and compliance frameworks. This forecast represents Trip.com Group's current and preliminary view based on the information available to it as of the date of this press release, and is subject to change and may be different from the second quarter financial results to be published in-due-course.

A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, severe or prolonged downturn in the global or Chinese economy, general declines or disruptions in the travel industry, volatility in the trading price of Trip.com Group's ADSs or shares, Trip.com Group's reliance on its relationships and contractual arrangements with travel suppliers and strategic alliances, failure to compete against new and existing competitors, failure to successfully manage current growth and potential future growth, risks associated with any strategic investments or acquisitions, seasonality in the travel industry in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, failure to successfully develop Trip.com Group's existing or future business lines, damage to or failure of Trip.com Group's infrastructure and technology, loss of services of Trip.com Group's key executives, adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, any regulatory developments in laws, regulations, rules, policies or guidelines applicable to Trip.com Group, any investigation, enforcement or legal/administrative proceeding against Trip.com Group in connection with its business operation and other risks outlined in Trip.com Group's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Trip.com Group's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Trip.com Group uses non-GAAP financial information related to adjusted net income attributable to Trip.com Group Limited, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS, each of which is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP result to exclude the share-based compensation charges that are not tax deductible, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, net of tax, and other applicable items. Trip.com Group's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate better understanding of operating results from quarter to quarter and provide management with a better capability to plan and forecast future periods. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for GAAP results. A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures is that non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in Trip.com Group's business for the foreseeable future. Reconciliations of Trip.com Group's non-GAAP financial data to the most comparable GAAP data included in the consolidated statement of operations are included at the end of this press release.
