Financial highlights
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and loss of the United MSA, Q3 Net Revenue and Sep YTD Net Revenue
are both +1% higher compared to prior year. On an actual basis, Q3 Net Revenue is (4)% lower and Sep YTD Net
Revenue is (2)% lower compared to prior year.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and loss of the United MSA, Q3 Adjusted EBITDA is flat compared to prior
year
and
Sep
YTD
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
(2)%
lower
compared
to
prior
year,
which
is
in
line
with
management
expectations. On an actual basis, Q3 Adjusted EBITDA is (10)% lower and Sep YTD Adjusted EBITDA is (9)% lower
than prior year.
Q3 and Sep YTD Adjusted EBITDA include $16 million and $44 million of amortization charges for upfront payments
to travel agencies, respectively. Working capital includes $158 million of upfront payments and prepaid commissions
as of September 30, 2012.
Sep YTD Interest expense of $215 million is $8 million lower in 2012 due to a lower net debt balance and favorable
impact of interest rate hedges, offset by a higher underlying interest rate.
Cash flows from operations in Q3 of $6 million is $18 million higher compared to prior year primarily as a result of a
decrease in cash interest payments and fluctuations in our collections and payments cycles.
Q3 unlevered free cash flow of $57 million is $8 million higher than prior year and represents 54% of Adjusted
EBITDA.
For
Sep
YTD,
unlevered
free
cash

million

million
lower
than
prior
year
and
