    "excerpts": "While we experienced growth in bookings during the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities slightly improved compared to the $2.8 billion generated during the same period in the prior year. This reflected unearned fees growing at a rate less than the GBV growth rate during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, which was primarily due to the increased guest adoption of our flexible payment options, which allow guests to pay closer to check-in dates rather than at time of booking, shifting the timing of cash collection and its recognition in operating activities.",
