SABRE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Risk Factors

GENERAL

OUR REVENUES ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRIES, AND PARTICULARLY ON THE AIRLINES, AND A PROLONGED SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN TRAVEL BOOKINGS VOLUMES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.

36


WE FACE COMPETITION FROM ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, WHICH COULD DIVERT CUSTOMERS TO OUR COMPETITORS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

SOME TRAVEL SUPPLIERS ARE AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING TO BYPASS OUR TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, WHICH MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF ADVERSELY AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

CONSOLIDATION IN THE TRAVEL AGENCY INDUSTRY AND INCREASED COMPETITION FOR TRAVEL AGENCY SUBSCRIBERS MAY RESULT IN INCREASED EXPENSES, LOST BOOKINGS AND REDUCED REVENUE.

37


AIRLINES THAT ARE DIVESTING THEIR OWNERSHIP OF GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS MIGHT LIMIT THEIR PARTICIPATION IN OUR GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SERVICES, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BOOKING FEE REVENUE AND OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS IN THE BUSINESS ARE WELL FUNDED, WHICH MAY GIVE THESE COMPETITORS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

WE MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN PURSUING AND INTEGRATING BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INCREASED EXPENDITURES OR CAUSE US TO FAIL TO ACHIEVE ANTICIPATED COST SAVINGS OR REVENUE GROWTH.

38


RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY RENDER OUR TECHNOLOGY OBSOLETE OR ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF OUR CURRENT OR FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES TO US AND OUR CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO INCREASE EXPENDITURES TO UPGRADE OUR TECHNOLOGY OR DEVELOP COMPETING PRODUCTS IN NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND TO PROTECT THEM.

OUR SYSTEMS MAY SUFFER FAILURES, CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS AND BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, WHICH COULD INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS AND CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE BY RESTRICTING OUR FLEXIBILITY TO RESPOND TO COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS, WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR CUSTOMERS TO BE DIVERTED TO OUR COMPETITORS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUE AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

39


WE FACE TRADE BARRIERS OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA THAT LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE, WHICH COULD REQUIRE US TO INCREASE INCENTIVES, REDUCE PRICES, INCREASE SPENDING ON MARKETING OR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, OR OTHERWISE TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO OTHER RISKS, WHICH MAY IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO GROW INTERNATIONALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OVERALL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
