FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Travelzoo Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 — Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO):
•Revenue of $24.3 million, up 5% year-over-year
•Consolidated operating profit of $3.4 million
•Non-GAAP consolidated operating profit of $3.5 million
•Cash flow from operations of $3.9 million
•Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23
Travelzoo, the club for travel enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Consolidated revenue was $24.3 million, up 5% from $23.1 million year-over-year. In constant currencies, revenue was $23.6 million, up 2% year-over-year. Travelzoo's reported revenue consists of advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, and membership fees.
In Q1, we continued to invest significantly in acquiring more Club Members when we saw that we can achieve a positive return on investment (ROI). Marketing costs were expensed immediately. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months. In Q1, the number of renewals of memberships jumped to the highest ever. Because renewals of memberships have no acquisition costs, this had a positive impact on EPS. Going forward, we expect renewals of memberships to further increase because of a growing base of members. We refer to our investor presentation.
Net Income attributable to Travelzoo was $2.5 million for Q1 2026, or $0.23 per share, compared with $0.26 per share in the prior-year period.
1/10
Non-GAAP operating profit was $3.5 million. Non-GAAP operating profit excludes stock option expenses ($35,000) and severance expenses ($15,000). Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tabular reconciliation below.
“We will continue to leverage Travelzoo's global reach, trusted brand, and strong relationships with top travel suppliers to negotiate more Club Offers for Club Members and add new benefits, such as our popular complimentary airport lounge access worldwide in case of a delayed flight,” said Holger Bartel, Travelzoo's Global CEO. “Travelzoo members are affluent, active, and open to new experiences. We inspire travel enthusiasts to travel to places they never imagined they could. Travelzoo is the must-have membership for those who love to travel as much as we do."
Travelzoo North America
North America business segment revenue increased 4% year-over-year to $15.7 million. Operating profit for Q1 2026 was $3.2 million, or 21% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $3.6 million or 24% of revenue in the prior-year period.
Travelzoo Europe
Europe business segment revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $7.3 million. Operating profit for Q1 2026 was $279,000, or 4% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $228,000, or 3% of revenue in the prior-year period.
Jack’s Flight Club
Jack’s Flight Club is a membership subscription service in which Travelzoo has a 60% ownership interest. Revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $1.3 million. Jack’s Flight Club’s revenue from subscriptions is recognized ratably over the subscription period (quarterly, semi-annually, annually). Operating loss for Q1 2026 was $48,000, compared to operating profit of $12,000 in the prior-year period.
New Initiatives
New Initiatives business segment revenue, which includes Licensing and Travelzoo META, was $17,000. Operating loss for Q1 2026 was $34,000.
In 2020, Travelzoo entered into royalty-bearing licensing agreements with local licensees for the exclusive use of Travelzoo’s brand, business model, and members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore. Under these arrangements, Travelzoo’s existing members in Australia, Japan, New
2/10
Zealand, and Singapore will continue to be owned by Travelzoo as the licensor. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Australia was $10,000 for Q1 2026. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Japan was $7,000 for Q1 2026. Licensing revenue is expected to increase going forward.
Reach
Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers. This includes Jack's Flight Club. Comparisons to prior periods are no longer meaningful due to strategic developments of the Travelzoo membership.
Income Taxes
The reported income tax provision and reserves for Q1 2026 are $942,000. Travelzoo intends to utilize available net operating losses (NOLs) to largely offset its tax liability for Q1 2026.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $11.3 million. Cash flow from operations was $3.9 million.
Deferred revenue increased because membership fees are earned over the subscription period. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.
Share Repurchase Program
During Q1 2026, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.
Looking Ahead
For Q2 2026, we expect year-over-year revenue growth to continue. We also expect revenue growth in subsequent quarters, as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months, as we acquire new members, and as more Legacy Members become Club Members. Over time, we expect profitability to increase as recurring membership fees revenue will be recognized. In the short-term, fluctuations in reported net income are possible. We might see attractive opportunities to increase marketing. We expense marketing costs immediately.
In 2024, we introduced a membership fee for Travelzoo. Legacy Members, who joined prior to 2024, continue to receive certain travel offers. However, Club Offers and new benefits are only available to Club Members, who pay the membership fee. Therefore, we are seeing many Legacy Members become Club Members over time—in addition to new members who join.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management calculates non-GAAP operating income when evaluating the financial performance of the business. Calculation of non-GAAP operating income, also called “non-GAAP operating profit” in this press release and today’s earnings conference call, excludes the following items: amortization of intangibles, stock option expenses, and severance-related expenses. This press release includes a table which reconciles GAAP operating income to the calculation of non-GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP operating income is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Conference Call
Travelzoo will host a conference call to discuss first quarter 2026 results today at 11:00 a.m. ET. Please visit http://ir.travelzoo.com/events-presentations to

4 | First Quarter 2026 Performance 23.1 24.3 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Revenue increased 5% year-over-year. Even though we invested more in the growth of Club Members, operating profit remained stable. Revenue $ millions Operating Profit $ millions 3.8 3.4 Q1 2025 Q1 2026
5 | First Quarter 2026 Performance Investments in the acquisition of Club Members are attractive, as they have a quick payback. * Most new Club Members join on a trial basis. Acquisition cost here is presented for Club Members who paid the annual fee—after trial conversion. ** Membership fee increased to $50 in the U.S. for NEW on January 1, 2026 and for RENEWALS on February 1, 2026. Payback on member acquisition is positive within a quarter, even though revenue recognition is delayed Return from Club Members Acquired in the Quarter and Future Periods Q1 2026, U.S. market $ Average Acquisition Cost of Annual Club Members* Q1 2026, U.S. market $ Additional revenue from transactions within the same quarter 1st year annual membership fee $50 Additional advertising revenue Future membership and other revenue $14 ($28) ($38) Q1 2025 Q2 2025 ($40) Q3 2025 ($27) Q4 2025 ($34) Q1 2026
6 | First Quarter 2026 Performance As a reminder, with subscription businesses, membership fee revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period, whereas acquisition costs are expensed immediately when incurred. Example: New member joins on March 15, 2026, paying a membership fee of $50 per annum Revenue Recognition $ Q1 2026 Q2 2026 Q3 2026 Q4 2026 Q1 2027 $50 $2.08 $12.50 $12.50 $12.50 $10.42 Payment by member Revenue recognized Revenue recognized
7 | First Quarter 2026 Performance Higher member acquisition expenses, coupled with only a small portion of revenue recognized in the quarter, reduces EPS in the current quarter. But we expect EPS to increase over time. Direct Member Acquisition Costs in Q1 2026* $ millions Q1 2026 Q2 2026 Q3 2026 and forward($1.9) Impact on Earnings per Share** $0.09 $0.09 min. $0.20($0.13) Net impact ($0.04) * Includes direct marketing expenses over which we have full discretion—and which we fully record in the quarter. Does not include fixed expenses like marketing staff, nor expenses for creating certain Club Offers which we utilize to attract and retain Club Members. But these on average contribute to income, rather than lower it. ** Assuming constant tax rate. $3.0+ Revenue Generated from these Members in Q1 2026 and in Future Periods $ millions $1.3 1.3

As the number of membership renewals—which do not require acquisition expenses—grows, operating margins should increase again over time.* Operating Margin 4% 7% 9% 11% 18% 22% 8% 14% 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Q1 2026 (26%) (2%) * Quarterly fluctuations in operating margin are likely. When we see attractive opportunities to increase marketing, margins decrease as we expense marketing costs immediately. Lower marketing expenses, as well as higher recurring renewals, on the other hand, increase the margin.
