Thank you, operator. Good morning and thank you all for joining us today for Travelzoo's first quarter 2016 financial results conference call. I am Holger Bartel, Chairman and Global CEO of Travelzoo, and joining me as usually is Glen Ceremony, our Company's Chief Financial Officer. Please Glen go ahead.

Okay. Thank you, Holger and everyone for joining us today. For the format of today's call, I will review our first quarter financial results of 2016 and then Holger will provide an update on our strategy. Thereafter, we will open the call for question-and-answer session. Now, please open our management presentation which is available on our Investor Relations website at www.travelzoo.com/earnings, to follow along with our prepared remarks. Slide 3 provides the key financial highlights for the quarter. These results include in the current and prior periods the financial results of the Asia Pacific business that we acquired in August of 2015. Our revenue for the quarter was 34.8 million, down 11% year-over-year or down 9% in constant currencies. Our earnings per share this quarter was $0.14 which is $0.09 higher than the prior-year period. Our members grew to over 28.7 million and our social media followers and mobile app downloads continue to increase. Slide 4 highlights the revenue by segment, revenue in North America was $21.7 million representing a year-over-year decrease of 13%. Revenue in Europe was $10.9 million representing a year-over-year constant currency decrease of 2% and Asia Pacific revenue was $2.3 million representing a year-over-year constant currency decrease of 10%. The next few slides cover further detail on our revenue for each of our three segments. Slide 5, shows North America year-over-year revenue decreased by $3.2 million, 900,000 was due to lower voucher sales for local, as we have focused less on pushing these deals out and now have more of them available on a pull basis only. $1.1 million of the revenue decline was due to lower search spend and $1.2 million was from travel, primarily due to the transition from voucher sales for getaways to the hotel platform, where we recognize revenue later. We also…

Please turn to slide 15. Our growth strategy continues to be built on two pillars. On one hand, we are looking to grow our audience, together now with our Asia Pacific business. We have over 28 million Travelzoo members worldwide and that base continues to grow. We added over 1 million new members again this quarter. At the same time we are working to enhance our products to serve our users better. We not only want them to receive deals from us by e-mail and social media. But we also want to help them when they are actively searching for something specific, like a hotel room on a certain date. We believe that these product enhancements will result over time in higher revenues per member. Slide 16 highlights how our investment priorities are aligned with these two pillars of our strategy, growth in our audience and improvements of our products. First, we continue to increase investment in acquisition of new members during the quarter. As I said, we added over 1 million new members and we explore ways to leverage strong social media presence and test some offline marketing channels. We have also begun to increase investments in Asia Pacific, the new members are expected to yield benefits to our business for years to come. Second, we have been working to enhance our products to be more mobile-friendly and to enhance usability so that members can find more easily what they are looking for. A lot of work is underway in this area. We have improved our apps and we are actively testing our new simpler search and we have also made our emails easier to read on all devices and we've tested ways to deliver more relevant content to our members based on their likes and dislikes. All of…

Thank you. The floor is now open for the questions. [Operator Instructions] Thank you our first question comes from the line of Tom White with Macquarie. Your line is open.

Great. Thanks for taking my question. Two if I may, firstly maybe a sort of high-level one here. Over the past couple of months there has been kind of lot of talks from the hotel industry about ways that they're going to kind of try to drive more direct booking behavior on the part of consumers. So trying to in sense of consumers to come right to hotel use on websites, sort of bypassing online travel companies. Just curious if you have any sort of thoughts about kind of your positioning there would be if you’re seeing any impact either on sort of the kind of consumer side or sort of traffic side of your business or if this is kind of revealing itself at all and as you know kind of trying to build out and signup hotels for the kind of the platform part of your business? And then I have one quick follow up.

Hi, Tom. Yes, you are absolutely right. I think the brands are looking more aggressively to try direct bookings, definitely something that we’re seeing. Two comments, one on the hand that would is because they see an increasing concentration of course on the side of Expedia and price line two partners that have become very, very strong and one become two dependent on them. So there we actually benefited with that the hotels come to us and see well it's great that I am not only dealing with Expedia and Priceline. So in that respect they are happy to participate with us. On the other hand the second with a lot of the brands, we still have model where we also drive business to their websites. So people can book directly with them, it's probably going to heard as a little bit less than some of the larger OTAs because we don’t really see ourselves as an OTA, but rather the place who helps our members find deals and one of the major reasons why we enable the booking capabilities on our platform for hotels was in order to make it easier for our members to book on their mobile phones, that was really one of the major drivers. It was necessary that we wanted to say we are jumping into the OTA business. So what’s the second question?

Good. It was just... Thank you for that firstly. And just actually some kind of unprofitable business kind of segments reliance in North America. Just hoping to get a little bit more color on that.

Yeah, just to give you one example here. It is one of the things that Glen mentioned syndication we have partners with whom we work on having them display our offers to their audience. These are often newspaper sites, big publishers and so forth. And we had a couple of cases where we started getting the situation because of revenue guarantees we offered. We paid these partners more than the revenue we were generating and which has said well we should not really do this because it is something that really drives revenue. But it is not going to generate any profit for us. So that was just an example of a couple of things we did in North America where we said we really want to operate more focused and smarter. And we just eliminated some activities that were in the short-term hurting revenues a bit. But on the other hand as you see it helped us drive profitability which in the end is probably more important for us.

Got it. Thank you.

But just to be clear, we did not discontinue our syndication network, we just eliminated a couple of partners that were not effective any more.

Got it.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ed Woo with Ascendiant Capital. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Thanks for taking my question, I had a question about the overall health of the industry. It seems as if the industry is relatively strong, but obviously we had some specific events such as terrorist activity. What is your outlook for travel in the U.S. and international?

Hi, Ed, let me start off and then may be Glen can fill in a little bit as well. I think absolutely in Europe we saw that we were affected in Q1 particularly with I mean in Europe, Turkey's one of the most prominent place is where people want to travel. And with the political situation Turkey and particularly Bombings and so forth and North America which is a big destination for people in the South of Europe, that definitely affected travel behavior in two ways. On the one hand our advertisers didn’t want to promote as much pick it just Turkey anymore which affected us. And second, the places like Spain and Portugal where we use to find more deals. We were seeing fewer deals this quarter. But I think Richard, our head in Europe he definitely feels that there was in general just a slightly bigger reluctance for people in Q1 to book travel. Normally the Europeans love to book travel well ahead. They book in Q1 already for summer and this year maybe because of all the things that were happening in Europe, people were a bit more hesitant. But we hope that that will pick up again in Q2 because in the end I don’t think people want to miss their vacation.

Great. And in terms of FX, how long do you think it is going to be a drag on your results, it seem to be kind of bouncing out right now, you think that will be less for drag in back half?

Glen?

Yes, it should be less than the drag in the back half. But we will see what FX rates do, but from the historical patterns that is what we expect.

Great. And then last question I had as you said that you going to be spending $0.06 EPS impact for stop acquisition in the second quarter, is that correct?

Regarding on APAC.

Yeah.

We are just trying to frame the increased member acquisition spends that we are going to focus on Asia going forward.

Is that incremental to what you spend this quarter, so we can expect an additional $0.06 or how much do you guys spent?

That was a year-over-year $0.06.

Year-over-year.

Yeah.

Okay. Well, thanks for taking my questions, wish you guys a good luck.

Thanks, Ed.

Thanks, Ed.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. Okay, I am showing no further questions. I’d like to turn the call back over to Holger Bartel.

Thank you, everyone and we look forward to speaking with you again next quarter. Thanks and have a great day. Bye.
