Now, two years into the pandemic, Airbnb is substantially stronger than ever before.”

”In Q1 2022, we exceeded 100 million Nights and Experiences Booked, our largest quarterly number ever. GBV of $17.2 billion and revenue of $1.5 billion in Q1 2022 were both more than 70% higher than pre-pandemic Q1 2019 levels. And through our focus and discipline, we delivered $229 million of Adjusted EBITDA, $1.2 billion of net cash provided by operating activities and $1.2 billion of free cash flow in the quarter,” Airbnb said in a letter to shareholders.
