TRAVELZOO
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) The Company and Basis of Presentation
We (or the “Company”) are a global Internet media company. We operate Travelzoo®, the club for travel enthusiasts, Jack’s Flight Club®, a subscription service that provides information about exceptional airfares, and Travelzoo META.
The Company generates revenue primarily from advertising and membership fees.
Ralph Bartel, who founded Travelzoo, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro Capital Inc. (“Azzurro”). Azzurro is the Company’s largest shareholder, and as of March 31, 2026, holds approximately 35.1% of the Company's outstanding shares.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2026.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Travelzoo and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Significant estimates included in the financial statements and related notes include revenue recognition, refund liability, income taxes, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, useful lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocation for the business combination and related impairment assessment, relating to the projections and assumptions used. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any other future period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.
(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires more detailed disclosure for expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
(c) Significant Accounting Policies
Below is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. For a comprehensive description of our accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), under which revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's revenue consists of (1) advertising and commerce revenues, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, (2) membership fees and (3) other.
9









Advertising and Commerce Revenues
Advertising revenues include revenue generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment offers on the Travelzoo website, in emails, on social media platforms and through the Travelzoo Network, and transaction-based commerce revenues in the form of commissions from sales of vouchers (our Local Deals and Getaways offerings), operation of our hotel booking platform, vacation package sales and sales of pre-purchased vouchers or hotel inventory.
Specifically, for fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period. For Top 20 email newsletters and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members. For cost-per-click advertising, whereby an advertiser pays the Company when a user clicks on an ad (typically served on the Company's media properties or Travelzoo Network partner properties), the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.
The Company also offers advertisers other advertising models whereby an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed (whether on the Company's media properties, in emails, on social media platforms or other media properties). For these instances, the Company recognizes revenues each time an ad is displayed.
For transaction-based advertising revenues, including from products such as Local Deals and Getaways voucher sales, hotel platform bookings, vacation package sales and sales of pre-purchased vouchers or hotel inventory, the Company evaluates whether it is acting as principal (thereby reporting revenue on a gross basis) versus agent (thereby reporting revenue on a net basis). Accordingly, the Company reports transaction-based advertising revenues on a net basis, as third-party suppliers are primarily responsible for fulfilling the underlying good or service, which the Company does not control prior to its transfer to the customer.
For Local Deals and Getaways voucher sales, the Company typically earns a fee for acting as an agent on the sale, while vouchers can subsequently be redeemed for goods or services with third-party merchants. Commission revenues are, accordingly, presented net of amounts due to third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying goods and services, and net of estimated future refunds to consumers, as the terms of the vouchers permit. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.
In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts, vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from travel companies or entertainment companies. In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.
Commission revenues generated from bookings on our hotel platform are recognized ratably over the periods of guest stays, net of an allowance for estimated cancellations, based upon historical patterns. For bookings of non-cancelable reservations, where the Company’s performance obligation is deemed to be completed upon the successful booking, the Company records commission revenue at such time.
The Company relies upon certain practical expedients and exemptions provided for in Topic 606. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, as the amortization period would be one year or less, which are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and contracts for which it recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
Membership Fees
Membership fee revenues are generated from subscription fees paid by Travelzoo Club Members and Jack's Flight Club Premium members. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the applicable subscription periods.
Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, we introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany. The 2024 annual fee was waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023. On January 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to $50 in the United States for new members. For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after February 1, 2026. On April 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to €40 in Germany for new members. For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after May 1, 2026.
Other
10









Other revenues include licensing fees and revenues generated from Metaverse Travel Experiences, LLC (MTE), including but not limited to sales from the existing retail business of MTE.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred membership fees, customer prepayments and undelivered Company performance obligations related to contracts comprising multiple performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025, $2.2 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Jack's Flight Club, of which $1.1 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $6.5 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe, of which $3.1 million was recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, deferred revenue was $10.7 million, of which $2.4 million was for Jack's Flight Club, and $8.3 million was for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe.
Reserve for Refunds to Members
The Company estimates and records a reserve for future refunds on member purchases of Local Deals and Getaways vouchers, at the time revenue is recorded. We consider various factors such as historical refund timeframes from dates of sale, reasons for refunds, time periods remaining until expiration, changes in refund procedures and estimates of redemptions and breakage. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could impact the level of our future reserve for refunds to members. Specifically, if the financial condition of our merchant partners, on behalf of whom vouchers are sold, were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to provide the goods or services to our members, additional reserves for refunds to members may be required and may adversely affect future revenues as the liability is recorded against revenue.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $3.4 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, representing the Company’s commission earned. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $283,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of March 31, 2026, which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $2.9 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale and estimated a refund reserve of $188,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of December 31, 2025, as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
If our judgments regarding estimated member refunds are inaccurate, reported results of operations could differ from amounts previously accrued. Merchant payables of $13.5 million as of March 31, 2026 is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed.
Identifiable intangible assets
Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of all intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Operating Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease payments used to determine the operating lease assets may include lease incentives and stated rent increases. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s leases are reflected in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
11









The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with its ability to attract and retain advertisers, offer goods or services on compelling terms to our members and attract and retain paying members. The Company’s business is also subject to risks associated with the travel industry generally, including the changing economic and political situation of countries around the world (e.g., decreases in discretionary spending due to recession, increased fuel prices or increased prices due to tariffs, changes in international trade policies and immigration, flight cancellations due to macroeconomic factors resulting in uncertainty for consumers and decreases in demand for travel generally and for certain destinations specifically).
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had merchant payables of $13.5 million related to the sale of vouchers. In the Company’s financial statements presented in this 10-Q report, following GAAP accounting principles, we classified all merchant payables as current. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects negative net working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10.8 million at March 31, 2026. Payables to merchants are generally due upon redemption of vouchers by members who purchased them from the Company. As of March 31, 2026, unredeemed vouchers have maturities through March 2027; however, expiration dates may be extended on a case-by-case basis and final payment to merchants upon expiration may not be due for up to a year after.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to refundable security deposits for real estate leases and funds held in escrow.
Management expects that cash on hand as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
 March 31,December 31,
20262025
Cash and cash equivalents$10,571 $10,007 
Restricted cash 754 756 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows$11,325 $10,763 
The Company’s restricted cash was included in noncurrent assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 2: Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included in the diluted calculation consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.
12









The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended
 March 31,
 20262025
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Travelzoo$2,478 $3,167 
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares—basic10,837 11,670 
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options 579 
Weighted average common shares—diluted10,837 12,249 
Net income per share —basic$0.23 $0.27 
Net income per share—diluted$0.23 $0.26 
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, options to purchase 1.2 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets, are adjusted to fair value if an impairment is recognized during the period. The fair value measurements are based on Level 3 inputs which are unobservable inputs based on management assumptions used to measure assets at fair value.
The goodwill assessment was performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting units to their carrying value. The fair value estimates for the reporting units were based on a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and the market value approach, using Level 3 inputs. The indefinite-lived intangible assets assessment was performed using the relief-from-royalty method, which includes unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3, including projected revenues and approximately 5% royalty rate.
The Company performed an annual impairment test as of October 31, 2025 and did not identify any indicators of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, no indicators of impairment have been identified.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
The following table represents the activities of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Amortization expense for acquired intangibles was $0 and $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. There is no future amortization expense of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
13









The Company performed its annual impairment testing of the Jack's Flight Club trade name as of October 31, 2025 using a relief from royalty method. No impairment was identified in 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the trade name was $1.5 million. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and believes it is probable that the matter will be ruled on adversely. Accruals for legal contingencies were not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made.
The Company leases office space in Canada, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to up to five years. The Company maintains standby letters of credit (“LOC”) to serve as collateral issued to certain of the landlords. The LOCs are collateralized with cash which is included in the line item “Restricted cash” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Rent expense was $772,000 and $687,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 10–Leases for more information.
The Company has purchase commitments aggregating approximately $581,000 as of March 31, 2026, which represent the minimum obligations the Company has under agreements with certain third-party service providers. These minimum obligations are less than the Company's projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use.
Note 5: Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada, and the UK.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s reported effective income tax rate was 27% and 26%, respectively. This increase of the Company’s reported effective income tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in operating profit.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company is permanently reinvested in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and does not have a deferred tax liability related to its undistributed foreign earnings. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability attributed to future withholding taxes on dividend distributions of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, which the Company intends to reinvest the related earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S., is approximately $1 million.
The Company maintains a reserve for potential liabilities for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $23.9 million in total unrecognized tax benefits, of which up to $16.6 million would favorably affect the Company’s reported income if realized and recognized.
The Company’s policy is to include provisions for interest and penalties related to uncertain and unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.7 million and $1.6 million in accrued interest, respectively.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for certain years after 2021 and forward and is subject to California tax examinations for years after 2020.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. This legislation includes changes to U.S. federal tax law, which may be subject to further clarification and the issuance of interpretive guidance. We have assessed the legislation and its effect on our consolidated financial statements. The enactment of the OBBBA Act did not have a material impact during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. We will continue to monitor any future guidance or legislative developments related to the OBBBA Act to assess its potential implications on our tax position.

There were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation gain or loss.
Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Options
The Company accounts for its employee stock options under the fair value method, which requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant, employing an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of awards expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On January 1, 2021, pursuant to an executed Option Agreement, the shareholders of the Company approved the grant of stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to one employee, with an exercise price of $9.44, with annual vesting starting January 1, 2022 and ending on January 1, 2025. The options originally expire in January 2026. In January 2026, the Company approved the extension of the exercise period of the options for two years. The options now expire on January 1, 2028. In 2024, 37,500 options were exercised and 3,358 shares of common stock were issued as the result of the cashless exercises or net settlement with respect to the option exercise price which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2026, 12,500 options were vested and outstanding. Stock-based compensation related to this grant was fully expensed in 2024.
On March 3, 2022, pursuant to an executed Option Agreement, the Company granted its Global Chief Executive Officer, Holger Bartel, options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, with an exercise price of $8.14 and vesting 25% every six months over two years beginning on June 30, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2023. The options expire in March 2027. This grant was approved at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the shareholders. In 2024, 200,000 options were exercised and 53,753 shares of common stock were issued as the result of the cashless exercises or net settlement with respect to the option exercise price which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2026, 400,000 options were vested and outstanding. Stock-based compensation related to this grant was fully expensed in 2023.
On June 1, 2022, the Company granted an employee options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $6.78 and quarterly vesting beginning on September 30, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2025 with vesting based on both time-based service condition and performance conditions. However, if the performance targets are not met as of the first date on which the time condition is met, the time condition may be extended by one quarter up to three times.

Overview
We are a global Internet media company.

We reach 30 million travelers. Club Members, who pay a membership fee, receive Club Offers negotiated and rigorously vetted by our deal experts around the globe.
Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, beginning in 2024, new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany were charged an annual fee of $40 (or local equivalent), with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023. On January 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to $50 in the United States for new members, For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after February 1, 2026. On April 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to €40 in Germany for new members. For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after May 1, 2026. For any subscription revenue derived from the paid membership, we recognize revenue monthly pro rata over the subscription period.
We also license Travelzoo products, services and intellectual property to licenses in (a) Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore and (b) Japan and South Korea, in each case, where the Company is entitled to a quarterly royalty payment based on a percentage of net revenue. Under the licensing agreements, existing Travelzoo members in the applicable territories continue to be owned by the Company.
Reportable Segments
The Company determines its reportable segments based upon the Company's chief operating decision maker managing the performance of the business. The Company currently has four reportable operating segments: Travelzoo North America, Travelzoo Europe, Jack’s Flight Club and New Initiatives. Travelzoo North America consists of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada. Travelzoo Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain and the U.K. Jack’s Flight Club consists of subscription revenues from premium members to access and receive flight deals from Jack’s Flight Club via email or mobile applications. New Initiatives consists of Travelzoo’s licensing business, Travelzoo META, and MTE. Financial information with respect to our business segments and certain financial information about geographic areas appears in Note 9–Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
When evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of the Company, management focuses on financial and non-financial indicators such as growth in the number of members to the Company’s newsletters, operating margin, growth in revenues in the absolute and relative to the growth in reach of the Company’s publications measured as revenue per member and revenue per employee as a measure of productivity.
How We Generate Revenues
Travelzoo
Revenues are generated primarily from three categories: Advertising and Commerce, Membership Fees, and Other.
19









The Advertising and Commerce category consists primarily of (a) advertising fees paid by travel companies for the publishing of their offers on Travelzoo’s media properties, (b) commissions and revenues generated from the sale of Getaways vouchers and bookings on our hotel platform, and (c) publishing fees from high-quality local businesses, sale of Local Deals vouchers and entertainment offers. Advertising fees may be based on audience reach, placement in email newsletters or on media properties, number of listings, number of clicks, and/or actual sales. We typically recognize advertising revenues upon delivery of emails or clicks, as tracked by our internal platform or third-party platforms, in the period of the applicable insertion orders, which are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed. For Getaways vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon sale as commission, net of an allowance for future refunds. Merchant agreements for Getaways advertisers are typically for periods between twelve and twenty-four months and are not automatically renewed. Revenues generated from local business offers are based upon a percentage of the face value of the vouchers sold, commission on actual sales or a listing fee based on audience reach. We recognize revenue upon the sale of vouchers, upon notification of the amount of direct bookings or upon delivery of emails. For Local Deals vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers, net of an allowance for refunds. Insertion orders and merchant agreements for Local Deals are typically for periods between one and twelve months and are not automatically renewed.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.4 million and $2.9 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, respectively, representing the Company’s commission. The Company estimates a refund reserve using historical and current refund rates by product and by merchant location to calculate estimated future refunds. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $283,000 and $188,000 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, for these unredeemed vouchers which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and accrued expense and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Merchant payables of $13.5 million as of March 31, 2026 related to unredeemed vouchers is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed. Certain merchant contracts, typically in foreign locations, allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers upon expiration. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.
In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts, vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g., hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.
The Membership Fees category consists of subscription fees paid by Travelzoo Club Members and Jack's Flight Club Premium members. Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, the Company introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members. On January 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to $50 in the United States for new members, For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after February 1, 2026. On April 1, 2026, we increased the annual membership fee to €40 in Germany for new members. For existing members, the new pricing is applied from the next renewal of their membership after May 1, 2026. Jack’s Flight Club subscription options are quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the respective subscription periods.
The Other category consists of licensing fees from license agreements, and revenue generated from MTE, including but not limited to sales from the retail business originally operated by MTE and acquired and maintained by the Company following the acquisition of MTE.
Trends in Our Business
The Company’s ability to grow revenues depends heavily upon the ability to maintain and grow the number of Travelzoo members and Jack’s Flight Club members. The costs to market our membership have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our financial results and can vary from period to period.
In addition to the type of membership offered, we believe the average cost per acquisition depends mainly on the advertising rates we pay for media buys, the quality of the members we acquire (based on both clicks and purchases through Travelzoo), our ability to manage our member acquisition efforts successfully, the regions we target to acquire new members and the relative costs for that region, and the degree of competition in our industry.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of network expenses related to powering the Company's websites, database services, sending e-mails, amortization of capitalized website development costs, software and license expenses, publishing fees to partners of the Travelzoo Network, costs incurred upon the sale of pre-purchased vouchers and other products, including directly attributable member services (call center), cost of certain membership benefits that are considered integral to the contractual obligation to Club Members, and fees to payment processors. Cost of revenues was $5.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Cost of revenues increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the increase in costs recognized upon the sale of pre-purchased vouchers.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary and related expenses associated with sales, marketing and production employees, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, marketing professional service costs, public relations expenses and facilities costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $11.1 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising which we refer to as traffic acquisition cost and member acquisition costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, advertising expenses accounted for 22% and 15%, respectively, of the total sales and marketing expenses. The goal of our advertising was to acquire new members to our email products, increase the traffic to our websites, increase brand awareness and increase our audience through mobile and social media platforms.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the increase in member acquisition costs as a result of management's strategic plan.
Product Development
Product development expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses associated with software development employees, fees for professional services, software maintenance, amortization, and facilities costs. Product development expenses were $664,000 and $634,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Product development expenses increased $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the increase in salary expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses associated with administrative and executive employees, bad debt expense, professional service expenses, legal expenses, amortization of intangible assets, general office expense and facilities costs. General and administrative expenses were $3.8 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
General and administrative expenses decreased $493,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a $305,000 decrease in stock compensation expenses and a $210,000 decrease in bad debt.
Other Income (loss), net
Other income, net consisted primarily of foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, sublease income, German federal government funding for COVID-related pandemic relief, interest income and interest expense. Other income (loss), net was ($5,000) and $629,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Other income (loss), net decreased $634,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the foreign exchange transaction loss.
Income Taxes
Our income is generally taxed in the U.S., Canada and U.K. Our income tax provision reflects federal, state and country statutory rates applicable to our worldwide income. Income tax expense was $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the
22









three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 27% and 26%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 changed from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in operating profit in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
We expect our effective tax rate to fluctuate in future periods depending on the geographic mix of our worldwide income or losses mainly incurred by our operations, statutory tax rate changes that may occur, existing or new uncertain tax matters that may arise and require changes in tax reserves and the need for valuation allowances on certain tax assets, if any. See Note 5–Income Taxes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
We do not know what our income taxes will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Our income taxes are dependent on numerous factors such as the geographic mix of our taxable income, federal and state and foreign country tax law and regulations and changes thereto, the determination of whether valuation allowances for certain tax assets are required or not, audits of prior years’ tax returns resulting in adjustments, resolution of uncertain tax positions and different treatment for certain items for tax versus book purposes. We expect fluctuations in our income taxes from year to year and from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $7.4 million was held outside the U.S. in our foreign operations. If this cash is distributed to the U.S., we may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes in certain circumstances. We also had $754,000 in restricted cash held in the U.S. and U.K. as of March 31, 2026.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased $562,000 from $10.8 million as of December 31, 2025 to $11.3 million as of March 31, 2026, primarily due to $3.9 million cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $3.3 million cash used to repurchase common stock.
As of March 31, 2026, we had merchant payables of $13.5 million related to unredeemed vouchers. In the Company’s financial statements presented in this 10-Q report, following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we classified all merchant payables as current. When all merchant payables are classified as current, there is negative net working capital (which is defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10.8 million. Payables to merchants are generally due upon redemption of vouchers. As of March 31, 2026, unredeemed vouchers have maturities through March 2026; however, expiration dates may be extended on a case-by-case basis and final payment to merchants upon expiration may not be due for up to a year after. Based on current projections of redemption activity, we expect that cash on hand as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
The following table provides a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.9 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $2.5 million, $154,000 increase in non-cash items and a $1.2 million increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $77,000 for net foreign currency effect and $56,000 for depreciation and amortization. The increase in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to $2.8 million decrease in accounts receivable, offset partially by $2 million increase in deferred revenue and $1.9 million increase in merchant payables.
Cash paid for income tax, net of refunds received, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $290,000 and $1.5 million, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $8,000 and $21,000, respectively. The cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of purchases of property and equipment.
Although we currently believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, unanticipated events and opportunities or a less favorable than expected development of our business with one or more advertising formats may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or establish credit facilities to raise capital in order to meet our capital requirements.

Litigation and claims against the Company may result in legal defense costs, settlements or judgments that could have a material impact on our financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe are important in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements because they require that we use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies include income taxes. For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates and recent accounting pronouncements, see the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as well as updates in the current fiscal year provided in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
