trivago N.V.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

Note 1: Organization and basis of presentation

Description of business

trivago N.V., ("trivago" the "Company," "us," "we" and "our") and its subsidiaries offer online meta-search for hotel and accommodation through online travel agencies ("OTAs"), hotel chains and independent hotels. Our search-driven marketplace, delivered on websites and apps, provides users with a tailored search experience via our proprietary matching algorithms. We generally employ a 'cost-per-click' (or "CPC") pricing structure, allowing advertisers to control their own return on investment and the volume of lead traffic we generate for them. Beginning in 2020, we began to offer a 'cost-per-acquisition' (or "CPA") pricing structure, whereby an advertiser pays us a percentage of the booking revenues that ultimately result from a referral.

During 2013, the Expedia Group, Inc. (formerly Expedia, Inc., the "Parent" or "Expedia Group") completed the purchase of a controlling interest in the Company. As of September 30, 2023, Expedia Group's ownership interest and voting interest in trivago N.V. is 60.4% and 84.2%, respectively.

Basis of presentation

We have prepared the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. As such, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Seasonality

We experience seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services as a result of seasonal patterns in travel. For example, searches and consequently our revenue, are generally the highest in the first three quarters as travelers plan and book their spring, summer and winter holiday travel. Our revenue typically decreases in the fourth quarter. We generally expect to experience higher return on Advertising Spend in the first and fourth quarter of the year as we typically expect to advertise less in the periods outside of high travel seasons. Seasonal fluctuations affecting our revenue also affect the timing of our cash flows. We typically invoice once per month, with customary payment terms. Therefore, our cash flow varies seasonally with a slight delay to our revenue, and is significantly affected by the timing of our advertising spending. Changes in the relative revenue share of our offerings in countries and areas where seasonal travel patterns vary from those described above may influence the typical trend of our seasonal patterns in the future.

Accounting estimates

We use estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets

9

and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. Our actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include: leases, recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, income taxes, and share-based compensation.

Note 2: Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as updated below.

Treasury stock

The Company records the repurchase of shares of its common stock at cost on the trade date of the transaction. These shares are considered treasury stock, which is a reduction to stockholders' equity.

Treasury stock is included in authorized and issued shares but is not considered outstanding for share count purposes, therefore is excluded from average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share.

Treasury stock is held for the purpose of reissuance under share-based compensation plans or capital reduction (retirement). When treasury stock is reissued any gains are included as part of additional paid- in capital. Losses upon reissuance reduce additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains from the same class of stock have been recognized and any losses above that are recognized as part of retained earnings (accumulated deficit). We use the first-in-first-out purchase cost to determine the cost of the treasury stock that is reissued. If treasury stock is retired, any cost in excess of par value will be recorded to retained earnings (accumulated deficit).

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. As of January 1, 2023, we have prospectively adopted ASU 2022-02which expands certain disclosure requirements for public business entities to include the current-periodgross write-offsby year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases. Past due trade receivables written off that originate from prior periods are typically not material. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain risks and concentration of credit risk

Our business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on relationships with our advertisers, dependence on third-party technology providers, and exposure to risks associated with online commerce security. Our concentration of credit risk relates to depositors holding our cash and customers with significant accounts receivable balances.

Our customer base includes primarily OTAs, hotel chains and independent hotels. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses. We generally do not require collateral or other security from our customers.

Expedia Group, our controlling shareholder, and its affiliates represent 33% and 36% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 33% and 32%, respectively, in the same periods in 2022. Expedia Group and its affiliates represents 46% and 49% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Booking Holdings and its affiliates represent 46% and 43% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 50% and 49%, respectively, in the same periods in 2022. Booking Holdings and its affiliates represent 30% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
