Airbnb has been “cumulatively” free cash flow positive for some time, meaning it’s mostly been free cash flow positive but not every quarter... per sources. This info comes after @theinformation reported the company doubled its operating losses in Q1 to $306M.

Another key takeaway here is Airbnb has a lot of money readily available for M&A and is well set up for the market downturn everyone has been expecting for like 3 years now.

Where Airbnb makes money is it's "pre-pay" for rentals and the source of thier cash. The guest pays at booking and then Airbnb pays the host 1 day after check-in. This creates a float of cash that they can reinvest in short-term to make more money from.
