In Q2, that momentum accelerated as we exceeded our outlook across every key metric. Revenue grew 17% year-over-year to $3.6 billion. GBV grew 16% year-over-year to $27.2 billion, driven by continued strong demand as well asa moderate increase in Average Daily Rate (“ADR”). Nights and Seats Booked grew 10% year-over-year, accelerating from Q1 2026. Net income was $816 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% year-overyear to $1.3 billion, representing an expansion in Adjusted EBITDA Margin to 35% .  \nOne of the most encouraging trends in Q2 was that we saw year-over-year growth accelerate not just in our expansion markets, but in many of our largest core markets as well. In fact, net origin nights booked in the U.S., France, the UK, and Australia all accelerated in Q2, reinforcing our confidence that our product innovation is driving demand across our business.  \nWe’ve rebuilt Airbnb from the ground up to be an AI-native company, and it’s showing up in our results. AI, combined with an exceptional team and better execution, is why we’re building and iterating faster than ever before. On key initiatives, we’ve reduced the time from concept to delivery by as much as 60% . And compared to the same period last year, we’ve increased the number of features and improvements we’ve shipped this year by nearly 80%. This faster pace of innovation is reshaping nearly every part of Airbnb and we believe it’s one of the reasons we’re outperforming our largest peers. Here are some highlights from the quarter:  \nMaking Airbnb better for guests and hosts  \nOver the past two quarters, we’ve talked about our blueprint for improving Airbnb through hundreds of small improvements that compound over time. Those improvements are making it easier to book, easier to host, and driving growth across the business.  \nFor guests  \nSearch and discovery-With millions of homes and a growing selection of services and experiences on Airbnb, we improved search and discovery to help guests quickly find the right options for every trip.  \n¦ A redesigned homepage: Guests now see more relevant recommendations for listings, experiences, services, and destinations.  \n¦ Smarter search rankings: Search results prioritize higher-quality homes that are a better fit for each trip.  \n¦ Detailed neighborhood maps: Guests can explore nearby restaurants, landmarks, and transportation to better understand the neighborhoods where they’re staying.  \nLogin and sign-up-Every additional step before booking can create friction. We redesigned login and sign-up to help more guests access Airbnb and start booking.  \n¦ Redesigned sign-up and login: Guests can now create an account and sign in more easily across iOS, Android, and web.  \n¦ Added flexibility: Guests have additional ways to access their account, helping reduce login failures and customer support contacts.  \nPayments and checkout-The checkout experience can make the difference between browsing and booking. We expanded payment options and streamlined checkout to reduce friction and help more guests complete their booking.  \n¦ Reserve Now, Pay Later: Guests can now use Reserve Now, Pay Later on more listings in more countries, and they’ll see it more often","cbCaikyuwRsHRSfp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikyuwRsHRSfp","pdf",6087426,29,"English","# Q2 2026 Key Financial Measures\n## Revenue and profitability\n## Cash flow and margins\n# Q2 2026 Business Metrics\n## GBV growth\n## Nights and seats booked\n# AI-native execution and innovation pace\n# Product highlights\n## Making Airbnb better for guests and hosts\n### For guests\n### For hosts\n## Expanding what Airbnb offers","[{\"question\":\"What were Airbnb’s headline results for Q2 2026?\",\"answer\":\"Revenue grew 17% year-over-year to $3.6 billion, and net income was $816 million.
