		<description><![CDATA[While the number of legal proceedings against online travel companies/agents (OTCs/OTAs) continues to increase, there are some positive trends in recent rulings. The wins in Texas and California courts are big positives for OTAs, such as Expedia (EXPE), Priceline.com (PCLN), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity. Particularly Expedia, since the company is being held liable for the bulk of the back taxes. The OTA mouthpiece Interactive Travel Services Association (ITSA) has been talking about “the correct interpretation of law” by the courts in the above-mentioned states, trying to arouse sentiments by playing the “unproductive litigation” card that was “wasting taxpayer resources.” This rhetoric aside, it appears reasonable that the OTAs should receive compensation for the information and services they provide and on which they pay taxes. The fact that they neither ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc’s (GOOG) acquisition of ITA Software &#8212; which has been pending for many months &#8212; was finally cleared by the Department of Justice on April 8, 2011. The acquisition received strong opposition from travel companies, such as Expedia Inc. (EXPE), competitors such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT) and airline ticket providers, such as Kayak. In fact, Expedia-owned TripAdvisor and Hotwire joined with the above parties among others to form what they called the FairSearch coalition in an effort to thwart Google’s efforts in the online travel market. However, Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) another online travel company that uses QPX has made it a point to stay away from the coalition and has already extended its licensing agreement up to 2015. For companies like Microsoft and Kayak, the chief concern has been ]]></description>

As a result, Expedia shares were up 3.29% in after-market trading yesterday. Revenue Revenue for the quarter was $987.9 million, up 18.5% sequentially and 15.9% year over year.

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc. (GOOG) has offered to buy ITA Software, a technology company owning specialized software that enables the provision of sophisticated flight information services to customers. Google intends to make the purchase for $700 million in cash. The software would help Google offer comparison shopping for airline tickets and so could put online travel agencies such as Expedia Inc. (EXPE), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity.com at risk. It is important to note that Google is not entering the travel business, so it will not be earning money on tickets sold. Google’s services will be limited to sending customers to the least-cost site at any given time. The company will continue to earn money on advertisements sold in the process. However, these online travel companies could well be concerned, since this ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services has upgraded Priceline.com’s (PCLN) rating from BB- to BB. S&#38;P analyst Andy Liu stated that the revision was based on the company’s strong results and market share gains versus the other major online travel companies, Expedia Inc. (EXPE) and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW). Both Priceline and Expedia beat the Zacks Consensus estimate in the last-reported quarter, although Priceline beat both revenue and EPS estimates by a wider margin. Priceline’s revenue was up double-digits, both sequentially and year over year. Room nights, airline ticket units and rental car days were up 56.3%, 30.2% and11.6%, respectively from the year-ago quarter. In comparison, Expedia’s room night and air ticket volumes were up 27.6% and 27.0%, respectively on a year-over-year basis. Therefore, it is clear that Priceline outgrew Expedia in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading shares of Expedia Inc. (EXPE) from Outperform to Neutral. The company reported strong results in the last quarter, but continued to benefit from promotional inventories provided by its hotel partners. When results are stripped off the benefits of promotional activities, a softer demand environment could become evident. We also do not expect the company to report better than seasonal sales growth in the current quarter. The company has sacrificed booking fees this year, which is telling on the average daily rates (ADRs). Therefore, ADRs could be the metric to watch rather than room nights at this point of time. We are also concerned about the incidence of transient occupancy taxes. Although municipalities and governments have decided that they will recover occupancy taxes from hotels if they lose ]]></description>
