The
company's shares rose 10.4 percent to $60 in premarket trading
on Thursday.
TripAdvisor, which owns websites such as Tripadvisor.com and
Oyster.com, said display ads revenue rose 17 percent and
subscription revenue jumped 23 percent in the fourth quarter
ended Dec. 31.
However, click-based advertising revenue, its biggest, fell 1
percent.
The company during the quarter accelerated the roll out of its
instant booking feature to more countries.
The feature, launched in 2014 in the United States and UK,
allows travelers to book a hotel directly from the company's
website instead of being directed to a third-party booking site.
The company's net income fell to $3 million, or 2 cents per
share, from $36 million, or 25 cents per share, a year earlier.
