Maintain EW, $1,330 PT. Strong 1Q Beat PCLN delivered strong 1Q:16 bookings results (an acceleration on a one- and two- year basis, ex FX), and 1Q non-gaap EPS was 5% better than we expected...and notably better than PCLN typically performs vs. the top end of its guidance. In fact, the 10% beat vs. the top end in 1Q:16 is the largest non-gaap EPS beat in 2 years (see Exhibit 1). 1 PCLN also called out "solid ROIs for performance marketing" that were "better than [PCLN's] guidance forecast," which is a sign their advertising spend continues to yield results....but a Noisy 2Q Guide With Many Moving Pieces: The top-end of 2Q total ex FX bookings growth (11%-18%) was 400bp lower than our previous estimate and 100bp below the Street, but we remind investors of 1) PCLN's relatively high visibility (average booking window of 30-45 days) and 2) typical conservatism (beating the top-end of total ex FX bookings by an average of ~300bp over the past 9 quarters). As such, our 2Q ex FX bookings estimate only falls by 100bp to 21%. The Easter Shift, Leap Year, Chinese New Year (1Q room night tailwinds) and Ramadan/Euro Cup (2Q room night headwinds) create noise around sequential room night growth, but for perspective, our forecast implies 2% 2Q sequential room night growth...or ~700bp lower than the 9% average over the past 4 years. At the same time, profitability guidance was lighter than expected, as the top end of 2Q adjusted EBITDA guidance ($740mn-$795mn) was 17% below us and 16% below the Street. This lower 2Q profitability will be driven by 1) increased branded ad spending on TV and digital (in particular, around Booking.com in the US), the Easter Shift (with ~$40mn of EBITDA moved from 2Q into 1Q), continued hiring in the core OTA business, and performance advertising spend. PCLN's top-line conservatism has historically led to EBITDA upside as well (beating the top end of non-gaap EBITDA guide by an average of 6% the past 9 quarters)...so we settle above guidance even with more spending at ~$860mn of 2Q:16 adjusted EBITDA. Lowering '17 non-gaap EPS by 5%; Maintain EW, $1,330 PT: Flowing through the 1Q results and 2Q guidance, our '16/'17 non-gaap EBITDA falls by 2%/2%. Our revenue falls by 3%/2% in '16/'17, but this is largely due to a new expectation of falling ADRs for the remainder of the year (given management commentary around current trends). We are also lowering our share repurchase assumptions in 2016 for recent trends (now modeling $1.2bn of buybacks vs. $2.25bn previously).

Risk Reward Why Equal-weight? The OTAs are running out of hotel room night runway, which will likely lead to slowing room night growth and rising direct competition We see top-line pressure from rising hotel take rate concessions We see EBITDA margin pressure as Google's mobile travel products drive up the cost of paid search, and PCLN increasingly spends on less measurable advertising channels like TV Valuation keeps us from going Underweight Source: Thomson Reuters, Morgan Stanley Research Price Target $1,330 Bull $1,650 20X 2017e bull case adj. EPS of $81.79 Base $1,330 17X 2017e base case adj. EPS of $77.48 Bear $1,000 15X 2017e bear case adj. EPS of $68.35 Price target is derived using a 10-year discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. We assume a WACC of 10% and a 2% perpetual growth rate. Our bull case assumes '14-'18e gross profit growth of 16%, EBITDA margins as % of gross profit of 43% in 2018, and $81.79 in 2017 adj. EPS. This is driven by 1) higher than expected ad spend efficiency, 2) reduced dependence on Google for traffic, and 3) industry consolidation leading to opex scale benefits and higher take rates. Our base case assumes '14-'18e gross profit growth of 15%, forward EBITDA margin (as % of gross profit) compression of ~540bp to 40% in 2018, and $77.48 in 2017 adj. EPS. This is driven by '14-'18 gross profit per room night growth of -4% (vs. - 1% historical growth) and '14-'18e ad spend per room night growth of 0% (vs. +5% historical growth). Our bear case assumes '14-'18e gross profit growth of 13%, ~850bp of forward margin pressure (EBITDA margins as % of gross profit of 37% in 2018), and $68.35 in 2017 adj. EPS. This is driven by 1) lower than expected ad spend efficiency and increasing TV ad spend, 2) increasing dependence on Google for traffic, especially on mobile, and 3) industry consolidation leading to higher than expected competition and lower than expected take rates. Risks to Achieving Price Target Higher ad spending leads to accelerating room night growth (upside) Mobile app user bases grow larger than mobile browser user bases, reducing dependence on Google for mobile search traffic (upside) Better than expected ad spend efficiency or reduced spending on TV advertising (upside) Industry consolidation leads to scale benefits over operating cost structure, more bargaining power vs. hotel/air suppliers, and ultimately, higher profitability (upside) Increased/lower-than-expected shareholder returns (upside/downside) The cost of acquiring traffic on Google rises more than we expect, and PCLN increasingly has to spend on less-measurable and less-efficient TV advertising and mobile app install ads (downside) Online travel industry competition rises more than we expect, leading to more ad spend and lower hotel take rates than we anticipate (downside) Continued and prolonged investments/m&a in non-core businesses such as OpenTable and Booking Suite (downside) Potential Catalysts 2Q:16 results and forward guidance Evidence of lower/higher ad spending, especially on TV (upside/downside) Accelerating/slowing room night growth (upside/downside) 3

In any case, ratings (or research) should not be used or relied upon as investment advice. An investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances (such as the investor's existing holdings) and other considerations.
