business, financial condition or operational results.
Segment and Geographic Areas
We have one operating and reportable segment. The segment is determined based on how our chief
operating decision maker manages our business, makes operating decisions, evaluates operating performance and
allocates resources. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is our Chief Executive Officer.

Employees
As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 2,017 employees. Of these employees, approximately
1,146 were based in the United States. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement. We believe that relations with our employees are good.
Seasonality
Expenditures by travel advertisers tend to be seasonal. Traditionally, our strongest quarter has been the third
quarter, which is a key travel research period, with the weakest quarter historically being the fourth quarter.
However, adverse economic conditions or continued growth of our international operations with differing
holiday peaks may influence the typical trend of our seasonality in the future.
