It’s been a busy quarter for Expedia. The company completed its $3.9 billion acquisition of HomeAway in December, challenging rising competitor Airbnb in the sharing economy travel industry. It also continued to adjst after its Orbitz acquisition, cutting staff in November. It’s currently planning a move from its Bellevue, Wash. headquarters to the former Amgen campus along Elliott Bay in Seattle, which should be done by 2019.

In the next year, the company expects to see a 35 to 45 percent earnings increase, with Orbitz and HomeAway both playing a healthy role in that growth.
