Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "is/are likely to," "confident," or other similar statements. Among other things, quotations from management in this press release, as well as Trip.com Group's strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. 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 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/ (expense), 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/(expense), 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.

Notes:
Basis of Preparation
The Directors of the Company are responsible for preparation of the Reconciliation Statement in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant guidance in HKEX-GL111-22. The Reconciliation Statement was prepared based on the Group’s Unaudited Interim Financial Statements prepared under U.S. GAAP, with adjustments made (if any) thereto in arriving at the unaudited financial information of the Group prepared under IFRS Accounting Standards. The adjustments reflect the differences between the Group’s accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and IFRS Accounting Standards.
(i) Share-based compensation
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all employee equity awards granted with graded vesting over the requisite service period.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the graded vesting method is required to recognize compensation expense for all employee equity awards granted with graded vesting.
(ii) Leases
Under U.S. GAAP, for operating leases, the amortization of right-of-use assets and the interest expense element of lease liabilities are recorded together as lease expenses, which are measured on a straight-line basis and are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the right-of-use assets are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis while the interest expense related to the lease liabilities are measured under the effective interest method, which results in higher expenses at the beginning of the lease term and lower expenses near the end of the lease term.
(iii) Equity securities without readily determinable fair values
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company elected to measure an equity security without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes reported in the profit or loss.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company measured the investments in equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Fair value changes of these investments are recognized in the profit or loss.
(iv) Equity method investments
Under U.S. GAAP and IFRS Accounting Standards, the investor should adjust the results of its associate to align the investee’s accounting policies with its own policies. The reconciliation items mainly arise from different accounting the associate applied under each GAAP.
(v) Available-for-sale debt investments
Under U.S. GAAP, the available-for-sale debt investments are carried at fair value at each balance sheet date with the aggregate unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)” in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon sale, realized gains and losses are reported in net income.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, since those investments do not meet the definition of the equity instrument from the perspective of issuer, and the contractual cashflow could not pass the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (the “SPPT”) test, thus they are required to be classified as financial assets measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in the profit or loss.
19
(vi) Convertible senior notes
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company’s convertible notes are elected to be measured at amortized cost, with any difference between the initial carrying value and the repayment amount recognized as interest expense using effective interest method over the period from issuance date to maturity date.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company’s convertible notes are designated as at fair value through profit or loss such that the convertible notes are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the amounts of changes in fair value of the convertible notes that are attributed to changes in own credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income and the remaining fair value changes are presented in the profit or loss.
(vii) Software
Under U.S. GAAP, software is reported under property, equipment and software.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, software is reported under the intangible asset category.
Accordingly, software is reclassified from property, equipment and software to intangible assets.
