Online accommodations platform Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) will be reporting results tomorrow after the bell. Here's what investors should know.

Airbnb beat analysts' revenue expectations by 2.5% last quarter, reporting revenues of $2.22 billion, up 16.6% year on year. It was a decent quarter for the company, with revenue exceeding expectations on better-than-expected 'Nights & Experiences Booked' (a key volume metric). On the other hand, its revenue growth slowed. Additionally, the company guided to adjusted EBITDA margins of "at least 35%" due to investments in "incremental growth opportunities", below expectations of a margin slightly over 36%.
