Net income rose to $1.42 million from $840,000 a year earlier, as revenue rose 36% to $76.9 million.
For the first six months of the year, Kayak earned $2.6 million, compared with a loss of $9 million a year earlier, when the company took a $15 million impairment charge.
Last month, Kayak raised $91 million in its IPO at $26 a share. The stock was trading at about $30 as of mid-day Thursday.
