Second Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights

The company reported net income of $8.9 million or $0.08 per diluted share for the second quarter 2011 compared with net income of $9.7 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the second quarter 2010. Adjusted EBITDA was $38.7 million for the second quarter 2011, a decrease of 19 percent year over year.

Gross Bookings and Net Revenue
Global gross bookings decreased three percent (five percent on a constant currency basis) year over year. This decrease was due primarily to lower volume for the company's domestic leisure brands. Higher volume for ebookers and higher air fares and average daily rates ("ADRs") for hotel rooms for the company's domestic leisure and Orbitz for Business brands partially offset this decrease. Global hotel gross bookings increased nine percent year over year driven primarily by ADR expansion.

Net revenue was $201.8 million for the second quarter 2011, an increase of four percent (flat on a constant currency basis) year over year. Net revenue increased due primarily to higher hotel, vacation

1



package, car and advertising and media revenue, partially offset by lower air net revenue. Global hotel net revenue, including hotels booked on a standalone basis and as part of a vacation package, represented 36 percent of the company's total net revenue for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Net revenue from ebookers represented 21 percent of the company's total net revenue on a trailing twelve month basis.

Air net revenue was $69.5 million in the second quarter 2011, down two percent (five percent on a constant currency basis) year over year. Air net revenue for the company's domestic leisure brands was down 12 percent year over year primarily due to lower air volume, partially offset by higher net revenue per airline ticket. The lower air volume was due primarily to actions taken by certain airlines to limit the forward distribution of their fares on meta-search sites, such as Kayak, fare structure changes implemented by a major airline, higher air fares and, to a lesser extent, the lack of American Airlines' content on the company's Orbitz.com site through June 1, 2011. The higher net revenue per airline ticket was due primarily to an increase in GDS incentive revenue and a shift in supplier mix towards airlines from which the company earns higher commissions. ebookers air net revenue increased 29 percent (13 percent on a constant currency basis) year over year due primarily to higher air volume.

Hotel net revenue was $55.2 million in the second quarter 2011, up six percent (flat on a constant currency basis) year over year. Hotel net revenue for the company's domestic leisure brands increased due primarily to higher hotel ADRs, partially offset by lower volume. ebookers delivered another quarter of double digit growth in standalone room nights which also contributed to the increase in hotel net revenue. Lower hotel volume for HotelClub partially offset these increases.

Vacation package net revenue increased seven percent (four percent on a constant currency basis) in the quarter to $33.5 million. ebookers vacation package net revenue increased due primarily to higher volume as a result of new product offerings and the company's marketing efforts. Vacation package net revenue for the company's domestic leisure brands decreased in the quarter due to lower vacation package volume, partially offset by higher net revenue per transaction driven by higher hotel ADRs, higher air fares and fewer promotional coupons issued by the company.

Advertising and media revenue increased ten percent (eight percent on a constant currency basis) year over year to $13.6 million due primarily to the company's ongoing efforts to monetize its websites globally.

Other net revenue, which is primarily comprised of car rental, cruise, destination services, travel insurance and airline hosting revenue, increased 11 percent (eight percent on a constant currency basis) year over year. This increase was due primarily to higher car revenue and higher travel insurance revenue for ebookers. The higher car revenue was driven by an increase in overrides and breakage. Higher air volume drove the increase in travel insurance revenue for ebookers.

In order to provide a more comparable view of the company's operating performance across periods, Appendix A to this press release adjusts gross bookings and net revenue for currency impacts. The company has also included a schedule of trended operating metrics in Appendix B to this press release.

Operating Expenses

(a) During the first quarter 2011, the company changed its classification of expenses for commissions to private
label partners (“affiliate commissions”) from cost of revenue to marketing expense to better reflect the nature of these costs and more closely align with general industry practice. The company has reclassified affiliate commissions of $3.2 million from cost of revenue to marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to conform to the current year presentation.

Cost of revenue for the second quarter 2011 increased four percent year over year due primarily to higher customer refunds and charge-backs globally and an increase in credit card processing fees driven by higher volume at ebookers. Lower customer service costs due to a decline in overall volume partially offset this increase. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter 2011 was relatively flat year over year.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense

SG&A expense is primarily comprised of wages and benefits, contract labor costs, network communications, systems maintenance and equipment costs and other costs, which include legal, foreign currency transaction and hedging costs and other administrative costs.

SG&A expense for the second quarter 2011 increased 14 percent year over year due primarily to foreign currency losses, an increase in legal costs and higher staffing levels and use of contract labor to support the company's strategic initiatives, such as the remaining platform migrations. In addition, the company incurred higher bad debt expense, audit fees and travel expense. Lower stock-based compensation expense and lower severance expense partially offset this increase.

Marketing expense

The company's marketing expense is primarily comprised of online marketing costs, such as search and banner advertising and affiliate commissions, and offline marketing costs, such as television, radio and print advertising.

Marketing expense increased eight percent year over year in the second quarter 2011 to $63.2 million. This increase was due primarily to higher marketing investments for ebookers and continued growth in the company's private label channel, partially offset by lower marketing spending for the company's domestic leisure brands. Marketing expense as a percentage of net revenue increased to 31.3 percent for the second quarter 2011, up from 30.2 percent in the second quarter 2010.

Interest Expense
Orbitz Worldwide incurred net interest expense of $9.7 million in the second quarter 2011, a decline of 11 percent year over year. This decline was due primarily to lower outstanding borrowings and a lower effective interest rate on the company's term loan driven in part by the expiration of an interest rate swap in May 2011, which previously fixed the interest rate on $100 million of the company's term loan at an effective rate of 6.39 percent.

At June 30, 2011, $200.0 million of the $472.2 million outstanding on the term loan had fixed interest rates through interest rate swaps. The weighted-average effective interest rate on the term loan was 3.63 percent at June 30, 2011, down from 4.85 percent at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, Orbitz Worldwide was in compliance with all financial covenants and conditions of its Credit Agreement.

Cash Flow
Orbitz Worldwide reported operating cash flow of $102.5 million for the first half of 2011, a decline of 11

4



percent year over year. The decline in operating cash flow was primarily driven by higher spending to support the company's strategic initiatives and higher marketing investments during the first half of 2011 as compared with the first half of 2010, partially offset by changes in the company's working capital accounts. The net working capital account changes were primarily driven by the timing of payments received from global distribution systems, partially offset by changes in accounts receivable and accrued merchant payable balances driven by lower transaction volume.

At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $146.0 million compared with cash and cash equivalents of $144.5 million at June 30, 2010.

Appendix A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is a performance measure used by management that is defined as net income or net loss plus: net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as adjusted for certain non-cash and unusual or non-recurring items as described below. Orbitz Worldwide uses and believes investors and other external users of the company's financial statements benefit from the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating its operating performance because:

These measures provide greater insight into management decision making at Orbitz Worldwide as they are among the primary metrics by which management evaluates the operating performance of the company's business. Management believes that when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information that is useful for management and other external users to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the ongoing cash earnings capability of the company's business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. These supplemental measures are used by management and the board of directors to evaluate the company's actual results against management's expectations.

EBITDA measures performance apart from items such as interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that the exclusion of interest expense is necessary to evaluate the cash earnings capability of the business. The company generally only funds working capital requirements with borrowed funds (specifically, funds borrowed under its revolving credit facility), if at all, in the fourth quarter of the year when its cash balances are typically the lowest. As a result, nearly all of the company's interest expense is not incurred to fund its operating activities. In addition, excluding interest expense from the company's non-GAAP measures is consistent with the company's intent to disclose the ongoing cash earnings capability of the business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Management believes that the exclusion of non-cash depreciation and amortization is also necessary to evaluate the cash earnings capability of the business. Management believes that the review of its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with other GAAP metrics, such as capital expenditures, is more useful in understanding the company's business than the inclusion of depreciation and amortization expense in the non-GAAP measures used by management, since depreciation and amortization expense has historically fluctuated as a result of purchase accounting and this expense involves management judgment (e.g. estimated useful lives).

Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the ongoing cash earnings capability of the company's business, by excluding the items described above, as well as certain other non-cash items, such as goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and stock-based compensation, and other unusual and non-recurring items, such as restructuring charges and litigation settlements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, are not defined under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income or net loss as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations in that they do not take into account the impact of certain expenses to the company's income statement, such as stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and certain one-time items, if applicable. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

(a)
 
Represents a non-cash charge recorded to impair an asset related to in-kind marketing and promotional support from Northwest Airlines under its former Charter Associate Agreement with the company. Management adjusts for this item because it represents a significant non-cash operating expense that is not reflective of the cash earnings capability of the business.
(b)
 
Primarily represents non-cash stock compensation expense; the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 also includes expense related to restricted cash awards granted prior to the company's initial public offering in July 2007. These restricted cash awards became fully vested in May 2010. Management adjusts for stock-based compensation expense as it represents a significant non-cash operating expense that is not indicative of the cash earnings capability of the business.
(c)
 
Represents a non-cash charge recorded to accelerate the amortization of the in-kind marketing and promotional support asset from Continental Airlines under its Charter Associate Agreement with the company. The useful life of this asset was shortened in 2010 following the merger of Continental Airlines and United Airlines. Management adjusts for this item because it represents a non-cash operating expense that is not reflective of the cash earnings capability of the business.
(d)
 
Represents charges related to accruals established for certain legal proceedings. Management adjusts for these items because they represent non-recurring charges that are not indicative of the cash earnings capability of the business.
(e)
 
Represents the net gain recorded upon extinguishment of portions of the company's term loan. Management adjusts for this item because it represents a non-recurring charge that is not indicative of the cash earnings capability of the business.
(f)
 
Represents a change in estimate related to a restructuring charge recorded in the second half of 2009. Management adjusts for restructuring costs because they are non-recurring charges that are not indicative of the cash earnings capability of the business.

Gross Bookings and Net Revenue, at Constant Currency
The company's reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. As a result, reported financial results are impacted by the strength or weakness of the U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies of the international markets in which the company operates, particularly the Pound Sterling, Euro and Australian Dollar. Management evaluates the company's operating performance with and without the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates because it believes excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates provides a more comparable view of the company's operating performance across periods. Management believes that when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, management and other external users are better able to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting operating performance. The following table adjusts gross bookings and net revenue for foreign currency impacts across the relevant periods:
