FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties. Many of the statements appear, in particular, in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future priorities, goals, strategies, actions to improve business performance, market growth assumptions and expectations, new products, product pricing, changes to our business processes, future business opportunities, capital expenditures, financing needs, financial position and other information that is not historical information. References within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “our,” “us” or “Travelport” means Travelport Limited, a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results of operations or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:

 

    factors affecting the level of travel activity, particularly air travel volume, including security concerns, pandemics, general economic conditions, natural disasters and other disruptions;

 

    the impact our outstanding indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business;

 

    our ability to obtain travel provider inventory from travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines and other travel providers;

 

    our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and to enter into new relationships on acceptable financial and other terms;

 

    our ability to develop and deliver products and services that are valuable to travel agencies and travel providers and generate new revenue streams;

 

    the impact on travel provider capacity and inventory resulting from consolidation of the airline industry;

 

    our ability to grow adjacencies, such as eNett, in which we own a majority interest;

 

    general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies, particularly in the U.S. dollar, and the economic conditions in the eurozone;

 

    pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry;

 

    our ability to achieve expected cost savings from our efforts to improve operational efficiency;

 

    maintenance and protection of our information technology and intellectual property; and

 

    financing plans and access to adequate capital on favorable terms.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the

Table of Contents

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2014, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2014, as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

These financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, with the exception of the December 31, 2013 balance sheet which was derived from audited financial statements. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In presenting the consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the consolidated condensed financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014.

The amendment in this update requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition.

The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the implications of adoption of this update on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.

The guidance is applicable to the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on discontinued operations that increased the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.

This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, other than disclosures.

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists except in certain circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance

provides the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held.

This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Company in exchange for its common shares. Travelport Worldwide contributed these senior notes and senior subordinated notes to the Company, which the Company subsequently cancelled. The Company recorded this transaction as extinguishment of debt and recognized a loss of $9 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

On June 27, 2014, Travelport Worldwide launched an offer to exchange the senior notes and senior subordinated notes issued by the Company’s subsidiaries into its common shares.

On July 11, 2014, Travelport Worldwide entered into an agreement with certain term loan lenders to exchange approximately 58 million of its common shares, at a value of $1.64 per common share, for approximately $91 million of first lien and second lien term loans under Travelport LLC’s (the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary) sixth amended and restated credit agreement and second lien credit agreement.

Based on the results of the exchange offers and the term loan exchange through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Travelport Worldwide exchanged approximately 360.5 million of its common shares for approximately $571 million principal amount of total debt of the Company, and as such debt was canceled by the Company’s subsidiaries after such debt was contributed to the Company.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was no material change in the Company’s interest rate and foreign currency risk management policies or in its fair value methodology except as set out below.

In June 2014, the Company ceased hedge accounting for its interest rate cap derivative instruments. With the exchange of common shares of Travelport Worldwide for the Company’s term loans in July 2014, which the Company subsequently canceled and reduced the principal amount of debt being hedged to under 100% of its notional amount and the Company’s announcement of the proposed refinancing of its capital structure in August 2014 (see Note 14—Subsequent Events), the Company determined that the hedge effectiveness could no longer be achieved. Further, the underlying future interest cash outflows hedged were considered as not probable of occurring, resulting in the Company realizing losses of $8 million accumulated within other comprehensive income (loss) and recognizing it within its consolidated condensed statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a net asset position of $5 million related to derivative financial instruments associated with its floating rate debt, its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received $3 million in relation to certain foreign exchange derivative contracts which were terminated in 2013 and included in other current assets as of December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company paid $7 million in relation to certain foreign exchange derivative contracts which were terminated in 2012 and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2012.

The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are probability of default of approximately 2% and a recovery rate of 20% which are applied to the Company’s credit default swap adjustments. As the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives is less than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivative instruments for two consecutive quarters, the Company

has categorized derivative fair valuations at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. A 10% change in the significant unobservable inputs will not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2014.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments to purchase goods and services from specific suppliers, including those related to capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $108 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $48 million relates to the twelve months ending June 30, 2015. These purchase obligations extend through 2017.

Contingencies

Company Litigation

The Company is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the Company believes its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

Standard Guarantees/Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for breaches of representations and warranties. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) use of derivatives, and (v) issuances of debt securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees of the Company’s trademarks, (iv) financial institutions in derivative contracts, and (v) underwriters in debt security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees, as the triggering events are not subject to predictability and there is little or no history of claims against the Company under such arrangements. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.

12. Equity

Contribution from a Parent Company

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Travelport Worldwide acquired $257 million of senior subordinated notes and $60 million of senior notes of the Company from the holders of the notes, and such notes were contributed to the Company by Travelport Holdings Limited, its direct parent. The Company subsequently cancelled these notes, and the debt was considered as extinguished. The Company recorded the notes received from Travelport Holdings Limited at their fair value of $323 million as a contribution from its parent company.

12. Equity (Continued)

 

Purchase of Non-Controlling Interest in a Subsidiary

In June 2014, the Company acquired an additional 16% of equity from the non-controlling shareholders of its majority-owned subsidiary, eNett International (Jersey) Limited (“eNett”), for a total consideration of $65 million thereby increasing its ownership in eNett from 57% to 73%. The excess of consideration paid by the Company of $65 million over the carrying value of non-controlling interest acquired is recorded within additional paid in capital on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

13. Equity-Based Compensation

Travelport Worldwide has two equity-based long-term incentive programs, the 2011 Equity Plan and 2013 Equity Plan under which restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options of Travelport Worldwide have been granted to the key employees of the Company. On January 1, 2014, all of the outstanding RSUs granted under the 2011 Equity Plan vested.

In May 2014, the Company communicated performance targets for the performance-based RSUs and stock options under the 2013 Equity Plan. Also in May 2014, the Company made a grant of time-based RSUs to certain employees. Consequently, 23.3 million of RSUs and 2 million of stock options were considered as granted for accounting purposes. The RSUs and stock options vest in April 2015 and April 2016, respectively, if the performance conditions are met and the participants remain in employment until then. Under the terms of the grant of the RSUs, vesting of a substantial portion of the time-based RSUs accelerates upon the completion of the proposed initial public offering by Travelport Worldwide or its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The activity of the Company’s RSUs and stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is presented below:

(1) The Company completed net share settlements for 3.7 million shares in Travelport Worldwide in connection with employee taxable income created upon issuance of shares. The Company agreed to pay these taxes on behalf of the employees in return for the employees returning an equivalent value of shares.

The fair values of employee options granted in June 2014 have been estimated as of the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Expected term from grant date (in years)

     3   

Risk free interest rate

     0.80

Expected volatility

     60

13. Equity-Based Compensation (Continued)

 

The weighted-average exercise price of options granted in June 2014 was $0.75 per option, with the remaining weighted average expected term as of June 30, 2014 of 3 years. None of the stock options have vested or have become exercisable as of June 30, 2014.

Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 resulted in a credit to equity on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets of $9 million and $2 million, respectively, which was offset by a decrease of approximately $5 million and $0, respectively, due to net share settlements as the cash payment of the taxes was effectively a repurchase of previously granted equity awards. The Company expects the future equity-based compensation expense in relation to awards recognized for accounting purposes as being granted as of June 30, 2014 will be approximately $44 million based on the fair value of the RSUs and the stock options on the grant date.

14. Subsequent Events

Debt Refinancing

On August 1, 2014, the Company announced the launch of a debt refinancing transaction seeking commitments from lenders (i) under a new senior secured credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $2,400 million, and the Company currently expects the new senior secured credit facility to be comprised of (a) a single tranche of term loans of $2,300 million maturing in 2021 and (b) a revolving credit facility of $100 million (which may be increased) maturing in 2019 and (ii) under a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this refinancing to repay certain existing indebtedness, including first and second lien term loans under the Company’s sixth amended and restated credit agreement and senior secured credit agreement, senior notes and senior subordinated notes.

Debt for Equity Exchanges

See Note 9—Long-Term Debt for a discussion of debt for equity exchanges.

Sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide

On July 22, 2014, pursuant to an underwritten agreement, the Company sold 34 million shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide, along with an additional 5 million shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. The price paid to the Company for the shares was $8.00 per firm share and $8.04 per optional share, with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $312 million. After giving effect to this sale, the Company owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Orbitz Worldwide and will discontinue equity method of accounting. The proceeds from the sale of Orbitz Worldwide shares were used to repay $312.2 million principal amount of term loans under the Company’s senior secured credit agreement.

15. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Consolidating Condensed Financial Statements

All of the Company’s secured debt and its unsecured senior notes and senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l., as intermediate parent guarantors, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s existing and future domestic 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full, unconditional, joint and several.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that reflect the current view of management and involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements as a result of factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a leading travel commerce platform providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the $7 trillion global travel and tourism industry. We facilitate travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers, such as airlines and hotel chains, with online and offline travel agencies and other travel buyers in our proprietary business-to-business (“B2B”) travel commerce platform. We processed over $85 billion of travel spending in 2013. Since 2012, we have strategically invested with a focus on redefining our Travel Commerce Platform to address the trends, inefficiencies and unmet needs of all components of the travel value chain.

During the first quarter of 2014, our management realigned our internal reporting to better reflect the underlying operations and revenue streams. As a consequence of this transformation, we have represented our revenues in line with our focus of enabling travel commerce through our platform. We now present “Travel Commerce Platform” revenue which includes Air and Beyond Air revenue and Technology Services revenue which includes airline hosting. We no longer present “Transaction Processing” revenue and “Airline IT Solutions” revenue. As a result of this, we have also recomputed our performance metric “RevPas” for prior quarters in line with 2014 calculation and presentation. We have only one reporting segment.

Travel Commerce Platform

Our Travel Commerce Platform combines state-of-the-art technology with features, functionality and innovative solutions to address the high-volume and growing transaction processing requirements for the evolving needs of the travel industry.

Air

We provide comprehensive real-time search, pricing, booking, change, payment and integrated itinerary creation for travelers who use the services of online and offline travel agencies for both leisure and business travel. We provide such services to approximately 400 airlines globally, including approximately 85 Low Cost Carriers (“LCCs”). Our access to business travelers, merchandising capabilities and ability to process complex itineraries has recently attracted several fast-growing LCCs such as Air Asia, Ryanair and Spirit Airlines into our Travel Commerce Platform.

Beyond Air

We have expanded our Travel Commerce Platform with a fast growing portfolio of Beyond Air initiatives. Our Beyond Air portfolio includes hospitality, payment solutions, advertising and other platform services.

For the hospitality sector of the travel industry, we provide innovative distribution and merchandising solutions for hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. Based on our estimates we offer the largest inventory of hotel properties on any travel platform in the world via our innovative distribution and merchandising solutions for both chain and independent hotels.

We are an early adopter in automated B2B payments, which we believe are redefining payments between travel agencies to travel providers. eNett’s core offering is a Virtual Account Number (“VAN”) payment solution that automatically generates unique MasterCard numbers used to process payments globally. eNett’s operations currently focus on Asia Pacific and Europe, and we believe the model is highly scalable. We have expanded beyond the core hospitality sector into air travel, including LCCs, with further opportunities for growth in other sectors of the travel industry. eNett was formed in 2009, and in 2013, eNett settled over 10 million VANs.

In addition to distribution and payments, we utilize the broad connections and extensive data managed by our Travel Commerce Platform to provide advertising solutions that allow our travel providers to easily and cost-effectively promote upgrades, ancillary products or services, package deals and other offers. We also offer other platform services, including subscription services, processing services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.

Technology Services

We provide critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other services, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. We also host and manage reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc. (“Delta”), and in May 2014, we signed a new long-term agreement to continue to run the system infrastructure for the Delta platform in our Atlanta data center. In addition, we own 51% of IGT Solutions Private Ltd, an application development services provider based in New Delhi, India that is used for both internal and external software development.

Management Performance Metrics

Our management team monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives. We assess our performance using both financial and non-financial measures. As a Travel Commerce Platform, we measure performance primarily on the basis of increases in both Reported Segments and Travel Commerce Platform revenue per Reported Segment (“RevPas”). Travel Commerce Platform RevPas is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments. Travel Commerce Platform revenue is generated from a wide portfolio of products and services, including traditional air bookings, ancillaries, hospitality, payment solutions, advertising and other platform services. Reported Segments means travel provider revenue generating units (net of cancellations) sold by our travel agency network, geographically presented by region based upon the point of sale location. We also use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as performance metric.

The table below sets out our performance metrics:

Table of Contents

We have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as they are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as determined under US GAAP. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under US GAAP.

We have included Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as they are primary metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. Further, Adjusted EBITDA is a key element used to calculate our covenant ratios under our credit agreements and is used by the Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods.

We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures as they allow management to monitor our ongoing core operations. The core operations represent the primary operations of the business. Since our formation, actual results have been significantly affected by events that are unrelated to our ongoing operations due to the number of changes to our business during that time.

As a travel commerce platform provider, we measure our growth primarily on the basis of increase in RevPas combined with measuring total air and non-air segment growth processed through our platform. As a result of realignment of revenue streams in the first quarter of 2014, certain revenue forming part of “Transaction processing revenue” is now a part of Technology Services and certain revenue forming part of “Airline IT Solutions” is now part of Travel Commerce Platform. As a result, our RevPas reported for earlier period has been recomputed to align with current period methodology.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Geographic Mix: Our geographically dispersed footprint helps insulate us from particular country or regional instability, allows for optimal information technology efficiency and enhances our value proposition to travel providers. We are well positioned to capture higher value business from travel providers operating in away markets, which results in higher per transaction revenue for both us and the travel providers we serve. The table below sets forth revenue by region for our Travel Commerce Platform for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

We expect some of the regions in which we currently operate, such as Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, to experience growth in travel that is greater than the global average due to factors such as economic growth and a growing middle class, while more mature regions, such as the United States, remain stable. As these emerging travel regions may grow at a higher rate than mature regions, the geographic distribution of our revenue may similarly shift.

Customer Mix: We believe our customer mix is broadly diversified, supporting our stable and recurring business model with high revenue visibility. We provide air distribution services to approximately 400 airlines globally, including approximately 85 LCCs. In addition, we serve numerous Beyond Air travel providers, including approximately 35,000 car rental locations and 55 cruise-line and tour operators. We aggregate travel content across approximately 67,000 travel agency locations representing 234,000 online and offline travel agency terminals worldwide, which in turn serves millions of end customers globally. Although none of our travel buyers or travel providers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a change in the mix of our customers and services used by them on our Travel Commerce Platform can cause our revenue to change.

Renegotiated Legacy Contracts: Orbitz Worldwide is currently our largest travel agency on our Travel Commerce Platform and accounted for 7% of our net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In February 2014, we entered into a new long-term agreement under which Orbitz Worldwide will use our services in the United States and other countries. Under the new agreement, which replaced our existing agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, we will pay incremental benefits in 2014 and further increased fees in later years for each air, car and hotel segment. In addition, Orbitz Worldwide will receive wider flexibility to use traditional GDS providers for services beginning in 2015. In exchange for the enhanced payments, Orbitz Worldwide agreed to generate a minimum specified book of business through our Travel Commerce Platform and pay a shortfall

payment if the minimum volume is not met. Due to the increase in payments payable to Orbitz Worldwide under the new agreement, we expect a negative impact on our 2014 cash flow and no impact to our 2014 Adjusted EBITDA. From 2015 onwards, the combination of increased payments and greater flexibility for Orbitz Worldwide will have a greater impact on both our earnings and cash flow.

In May 2014, we restructured and extended our Technology Services relationship with Delta. Delta will acquire the data and intellectual property rights central to its passenger service and flight operations systems. We will continue to run the systems infrastructure and hosting for the Delta platform in our Atlanta data center on our hardware and with our systems monitoring and support. We will see a reduction in both revenue and costs, effective July 1, 2014, when we transitioned approximately 175 employees to Delta, and we estimate there will be a minor impact to our Adjusted EBITDA in 2015.

Seasonality: Our revenue can experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal demand trends for the products and services we offer. These trends generally cause our revenue to be higher in the first and second quarters as compared to the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Revenue typically peaks during these times as travelers plan and purchase their upcoming spring and summer travel.

Foreign Exchange Fluctuations: We are exposed to movements in currency exchange rates that impact our operating results. While substantially all of our revenue is denominated in US dollars, a portion of our operating cost base, primarily commissions, is transacted in non-US dollar currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar), and a portion of our debt is euro denominated.

Litigation and Related Costs: We are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. We believe we have adequately accrued for such matters, and for costs of defending against such matters. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although we believe that our accruals are adequate and we have valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Net revenue increased by $14 million, or 3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily driven by an increase of $11 million, or 2% in Travel Commerce Platform revenue.

The increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $11 million, or 2%, was due to an $11 million, or 12%, increase in Beyond Air revenue with Air revenue remaining flat. Overall, there was a 2% increase in Travel Commerce Platform RevPas and a 1% increase in Reported Segments.

Our Travel Commerce Platform continues to benefit from growth in Beyond Air revenue. The value of transactions processed on the Travel Commerce Platform increased to $23.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $22.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We issued 31 million airline tickets in each period, and our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings was 63% in each period. We increased our hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued to 43 from 42, and we increased our hotel room nights sold to 16 million from 15 million, our car rental days sold to 22 million from 20 million and our eNett VANs settled to 3.5 million from 2.6 million.

International

Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased $10 million, or 3%, due to a 3% increase in RevPas with Reported Segments remaining flat. The RevPas increase across the regions was a result of growing our Beyond Air offerings, including growth in payment solutions, hospitality, advertising and other platform services. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Total Commerce Platform revenue increased from 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 68% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Asia Pacific

Revenue in Asia Pacific increased $4 million, or 5%, due to a 6% increase in RevPas offset by a 1% decrease in Reported Segments primarily due to a reduction of Reported Segments in Australia. RevPas increased 6% due to growth in Air revenue and growth in Beyond Air including increased revenue from other platform services.

Europe

Revenue in Europe increased $5 million, or 4%, due to a 1% increase in Reported Segments and a 2% increase in RevPas. Reported Segment increased primarily due to increased segments with strong growth in the United Kingdom and Greece offset by declining segments in France. RevPas increased due to Beyond Air growth, including increased revenue from eNett.

Latin America and Canada

Revenue in Latin America and Canada substantially remained flat.

Middle East and Africa

Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased $1 million, or 1%, due to a 2% increase in RevPas offset by a 1% decrease in Reported Segments.

United States

Revenue in the United States increased $1 million, primarily due to 1% increase in Reported Segments partially offset by a 1% decrease in RevPas.

Technology Services

Technology Services revenue increased by $3 million, or 7%, due to increased hosting revenue.

Commissions paid to travel agencies increased due to a 2% increase in travel distribution cost per segment, a 1% increase in Reported Segments and incremental commission costs from our payment processing business. Commissions included amortization of customer loyalty payments of $19 million and $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services increased by $2 million, or 3%.

SG&A expenses decreased by $9 million, or 9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013. SG&A expenses include $10 million and $19 million of charges for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 were flat. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel increased by $5 million, or 7%, primarily as a result of increased headcount and merit increases awarded to staff during 2013. Non-workforce expenses, which include costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased $5 million, or 26%, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange movement.

Non-core corporate costs of $10 million and $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, certain legal and related costs and foreign currency gains and losses related to euro denominated debt and derivatives. The decrease of $9 million is primarily due to a $2 million reduction in legal and related costs, $11 million lower unrealized foreign exchange losses on euro denominated debt and derivatives partially offset by a $6 million increase in equity-based compensation.

Total depreciation and amortization increased by $8 million, or 17%, due to an increase in depreciation on property and equipment primarily due to a higher capitalized cost of internally developed software as we continue to develop our systems to enhance our Travel Commerce Platform.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, decreased by $17 million, or 17%, due to a decrease in debt refinance costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in relation to comprehensive debt refinancings, partially offset by higher interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we cancelled $122 million of our senior subordinated notes and $60 million of our senior notes, contributed to us by our parent company, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we amended our senior secured credit agreement, repaid dollar denominated term loans under senior secured credit agreement and refinanced senior notes resulting in $49 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which comprised of $39 million of unamortized debt finance costs written-off, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

Gain on Sale of Shares of Orbitz Worldwide

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 8.6 million shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide in an underwritten public offering and recognized a gain of $52 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision differs significantly from the US Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance established in the US due to the historical losses in that jurisdiction, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions and (iv) certain income or gains which are not subject to tax.

Share of Earnings (Losses) in Equity Method Investments

Our share of earnings in equity method investments was primarily from Orbitz Worldwide and was $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to earnings of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, these earnings reflect approximately 44% of our ownership interest for April and May 2014 and approximately 36% of our ownership interest for the month of June 2014 following our sale of 8.6 million shares of Orbitz Worldwide’s common stock. In July 2014, we sold substantially all of the remaining shares of Orbitz Worldwide for approximately $312 million and used the

proceeds to repay a portion of our outstanding first lien term loans. Consequently, we will discontinue equity method of accounting. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, these earnings reflect approximately 45% of our ownership interest in Orbitz Worldwide.

SG&A expenses decreased by $15 million, or 7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013. SG&A expenses include $12 million and $25 million of charges for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by $2 million, or 1%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel increased by $5 million, or 4%, primarily as a result of increased headcount and merit increases awarded to staff in 2013. Non-workforce expenses, which include costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased $7 million, or 22%, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange movement.

Non-core corporate costs of $12 million and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, certain legal and related costs and foreign currency gains and losses related to euro denominated debt and derivatives. The decrease of $13 million is due to a $12 million reduction in legal and related costs and $7 million lower unrealized foreign exchange losses on euro denominated debt and derivatives offset by a $7 million increase in equity based compensation and a $2 million increase in corporate and restructuring costs.

continue to develop our systems to enhance our Travel Commerce Platform. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased by $1 million, as the useful lives expired on a portion of the assets acquired on the sale of Travelport to Blackstone in 2006 and the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, decreased by $4 million, or 3%, due to a decrease in debt refinance costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in relation to comprehensive debt refinancings, partially offset by higher interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we cancelled $257 million of our senior subordinated notes and $60 million of our senior notes, contributed to us by our parent company, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $14 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we amended our senior secured credit agreement, repaid dollar denominated term loans under senior secured credit agreement and refinanced senior notes resulting in $49 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of $39 million of unamortized debt finance costs written-off, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

Gain on Sale of Shares of Orbitz Worldwide

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 8.6 million shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide in an underwritten public offering and recognized a gain of $52 million. This reduced our ownership in Orbitz Worldwide to approximately 36%.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision differs significantly from the US Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance established in the US due to the historical losses in that jurisdiction, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions and (iv) certain income or gains which are not subject to tax.

Share of Earnings (Losses) in Equity Method Investments

Our share of losses in equity method investments was primarily from Orbitz Worldwide and was $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to earnings of $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, these earnings reflect approximately 44% of ownership interest until May 2014 and approximately 36% of ownership interest for the month of June 2014 following our sale of 8.6 million shares of Orbitz Worldwide’s common stock. In July 2014, we sold substantially all of the remaining shares of Orbitz Worldwide for approximately $312 million and used the proceeds to repay a portion of our outstanding first lien term loans. Consequently, we will discontinue equity method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these earnings reflect approximately 45% of our ownership interest in Orbitz Worldwide.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) cash flows generated from operations and (iii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents, cash held as collateral and revolving credit facility availability were as follows:

 

(in $ millions)

   June 30, 2014  

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 93   

Cash held as collateral

     70   

Revolver availability

     120   

With the cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated condensed balance sheets, our ability to generate cash from operations and access to our revolving credit facility and other lending sources, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

We believe an important measure of our liquidity is Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We define Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, adjusted to remove the impact of interest payments and cash paid for other adjusting items which we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations and to deduct capital expenditures on property and equipment additions including capital lease repayments. We believe this measure gives management and investors a better understanding of the cash flows generated by our underlying business, as our interest payments are primarily related to the debt incurred in relation to previous business acquisitions, cash paid for other adjusting items are unrelated to the underlying business and our capital expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platforms.

In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure as we believe it is a useful measure to our investors to assess our ability to comply with certain debt covenants, including our maximum leverage ratios. Our total leverage ratio under our credit agreements is computed by dividing the total debt (as defined under these credit agreements) at the balance sheet date by a number which is broadly computed from the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under US GAAP.

(1) Trading working capital consists of accounts receivables and deferred revenue from travel providers and travel agencies, current prepaid travel agency incentive payments and accrued liabilities for commissions.
(2) Other adjusting items relate to payments for costs included within operating income but excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. These include (i) $9 million and $17 million of corporate cost payments during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and (ii) $23 million of legal and related costs payments for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $42 million compared to $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase of $30 million is primarily a result of $31 million of lower cash outflows from other adjusting items during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Investing activities: The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $85 million compared to $52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

In March 2014, Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Travelport Worldwide”), our indirect parent company, acquired $43 million of dollar denominated senior subordinated notes and $92 million (€67 million) of euro denominated senior subordinated notes of the Company in exchange for its common shares. Travelport Worldwide contributed these senior subordinated notes to us, which we subsequently cancelled. We recorded this transaction as extinguishment of debt and recognized a loss of $5 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

In June 2014, Travelport Worldwide, acquired an additional $70 million of dollar denominated senior subordinated notes, $52 million (€39 million) of euro denominated senior subordinated notes, $47 million of dollar denominated fixed rate senior notes and $13 million of dollar denominated floating rate notes of ours in exchange for its common shares. These senior notes and senior subordinated notes were contributed to us, and we subsequently cancelled such notes. We recorded this transaction as extinguishment of debt and recognized a loss of $9 million in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we (i) repaid $8 million as our quarterly repayment of term loans, (ii) accreted $2 million as interest expense towards repayment fee of second lien Tranche 1 loans, (iii) amortized $3 million as discount on term loans, (iv) capitalized $13 million related to payment-in-kind interest into the senior notes and second lien Tranche 2 dollar denominated term loans and (v) repaid $15 million under our capital lease obligations and entered into $6 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.

We have a $120 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks under our senior secured credit agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we borrowed $50 million under this facility and repaid $50 million. As of June 30, 2014, we had no outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility with $120 million of remaining borrowing capacity under this facility.

We have a $137 million of cash collateralized letters of credit facility, maturing in June 2018. The terms under the letters of credit facility provide that 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2014, $67 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of the facility, against which we provided $70 million as cash collateral, and we had $70 million of remaining capacity under our letters of credit facility.

Travelport LLC, our indirect 100% owned subsidiary, is the obligor (the “Obligor”) under our long-term debt arrangements. All obligations under our long-term debt arrangements are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our foreign subsidiaries, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future domestic 100% owned subsidiaries. In addition, our secured debt is unconditionally guaranteed by certain additional existing non-domestic 100% owned subsidiaries. All obligations under our secured debt, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all the following assets of the Obligor and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Obligor, 100% of the capital stock of each guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of each of our 100% owned non-US subsidiaries that are directly owned by us or one of the guarantors; and (ii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Obligor and each U.S. guarantor subject to additional collateral and guarantee obligations.

Borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements, and our senior secured credit agreement contains various covenants, including leverage ratios, events of defaults and other provisions.

Total debt per our credit agreements and indentures is broadly defined as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted EBITDA is also a defined term under our debt covenants and is broadly computed in a manner as calculated for management purposes and discussed earlier.

As of June 30, 2014, our total leverage ratio was 5.94 compared to the maximum total leverage ratio allowable of 7.15; our total senior secured leverage ratio was 4.61 compared to the maximum total senior secured leverage ratio allowable of 5.15; our cash balance was $93 million; and we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our long-term debt. Under the terms of our current debt arrangements, the maximum total leverage ratio with which we need to comply reduces to 6.95 for September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and later reduces to 6.75 from March 31, 2015; and the total senior secured leverage ratio with which we need to comply remains at 5.15 until December 31, 2014 and later reduces to 4.90 from March 31, 2015.

On June 27, 2014, Travelport Worldwide launched an offer to exchange the senior notes and senior subordinated notes issued by our subsidiaries into its common shares. As of July 25, 2014, approximately $164 million in aggregate principal amount of notes were tendered and accepted in exchange for approximately 102 million common shares of Travelport Worldwide, at a value of $1.64 per common share. In addition, on July 11, 2014, Travelport Worldwide entered into an agreement with certain term loan lenders to exchange approximately 58 million of its common shares, at a value of $1.64 per common share, for approximately $91 million of first lien and second lien term loans under our senior secured credit agreement and second lien credit agreement. Based on

Table of Contents

the results of exchange offers and the term loan exchange through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Travelport Worldwide exchanged approximately 360.5 million of its common shares for approximately $571 million principal amount of our total debt. Such debt was contributed to, and then canceled by, our subsidiaries.

On July 24, 2014, we sold 39 million shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide, with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $312 million. The proceeds from the sale of shares were used to repay $312.2 million principal amount of our term loans under our senior secured credit agreement.

On August 1, 2014, we announced the launch of a debt refinancing transaction seeking commitments from lenders (i) under a new senior secured credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $2,400 million, and we expect the new senior secured credit facility to be comprised of (a) a single tranche of term loans of $2,300 million maturing in 2021 and (b) a revolving credit facility of $100 million (which may be increased) maturing in 2019 and (ii) under a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this refinancing to repay certain existing indebtedness, including first and second lien term loans under our senior secured credit agreement and second lien credit agreement, senior notes and senior subordinated notes.

We successfully completed deleveraging transactions amounting to $937 million as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including debt for equity exchanges and the sale of substantially all of our shares in Orbitz Worldwide, reducing our net debt to approximately $2.5 billion with a total leverage ratio of 4.9x.

Based on our current financial forecast, we believe we will continue to be in compliance with, or be able to avoid an event of default under the credit agreements and the indentures governing our notes and meet our cash flow needs during the next 12 months.

Subsequent to our comprehensive refinancing in 2013, substantially all of our debt is now scheduled for repayment on or after January 2016. However, the term loans maturing in June 2019 and the revolver availability through June 2018 are subject to a reduction in maturity to November 2015, December 2015, June 2016 or September 2016 if we are unable to repay or refinance our debt outstanding under the second lien credit agreement or our unsecured debt prior to their maturity dates. We may not have the ability to repay such amounts.

We continue to assess and evaluate potential capital markets transactions, including potential debt-for-equity exchanges and similar transactions. We can give no assurances that we will pursue or consummate such transactions as they are dependent, among other things, on market conditions and other factors that are inherently unpredictable.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

A portion of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt and to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our euro denominated debt. The primary interest rate exposure during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was due to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. We currently use interest rate caps and foreign currency derivative contracts, including derivative contracts and currency options, as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies.

We also use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exposures were designated as accounting hedges except for interest rate cap derivative instruments which were designated as accounting hedges until June 2014. The fluctuations in the fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded as a component of interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Losses on these interest rate derivative financial instruments amounted to $8 million and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair value of foreign currency derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Gains (losses) on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $2 million and $(11) million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risks they are intended to economically hedge.

In 2013, we entered into interest rate cap derivative contracts to cap the USLIBOR rate at 1.5%. The purpose of these contracts was to hedge the risk of increase in interest costs on our floating rate debt due to an increase in USLIBOR rates. We had designated these interest rate cap derivative contracts as accounting cash flow hedges and recorded the effective portion of changes in fair value of these derivative contracts, amounting to a loss of $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a component of other comprehensive loss. In June 2014, we ceased hedge accounting for our interest rate cap derivative instruments. With the exchange of common shares of Travelport Worldwide for our term loans in July 2014, which we subsequently canceled and reduced the principal amount of debt being hedged to under 100% of its notional amount and our announcement of the proposed refinancing of our capital structure in August 2014, we determined that the hedge effectiveness could no longer be achieved. Further, the underlying future interest cash outflows hedged were considered as not probable of occurring, resulting in realization of losses of $8 million accumulated within other comprehensive income (loss) and recognizing it within our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2014, our interest rate cap contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years. All other contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed one year. As of June 30, 2014, we had a net asset position of $5 million related to derivative instruments associated with our euro denominated and floating rate debt, our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014. The table below does not include future cash payments related to (i) contingent payments that may be made to third parties at a future date; (ii) income tax payments for which the timing is uncertain; (iii) the various guarantees and indemnities described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; or (iv) obligations related to pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans.

As of June 30, 2014, we have $67 million of accrued interest on our consolidated balance sheet of which $62 million will be paid within the next 12 months. The interest payments include (i) $5 million of payment-in-kind interest accrued as of June 30, 2014 and (ii) $51 million of payment-in-kind interest and $7 million of repayment fees that will be accrued over the term of the Tranche 2 Loans and Senior Notes.

Our obligations related to defined benefit and post-retirement plans are actuarially determined on an annual basis at our financial year end. As of June 30, 2014, plan contributions of $3 million are expected to be made in 2014. Funding projections beyond 2014 are not practical to estimate. Income tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are excluded as we are not able to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of related future payments. As of June 30, 2014 we had $25 million of gross unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and a 10% change (increase and decrease) in the exchange rates of underlying currencies being hedged, against the US dollar as of June 30, 2014. We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures that potential impact on earnings, fair values and cash flows. There are certain limitations inherent in this sensitivity analyses as our overall market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the volatility present within markets and the liquidity of markets. These “shock tests” are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include complex market reactions normally arising from the market shifts modeled.

We assess our interest rate market risk utilizing a sensitivity analysis based on our interest rate derivatives and a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates. We have determined, through such analysis, that the impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates as of June 30, 2014 would not be material on our earnings. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, the impact of a 10% increase in foreign currency exchange rate with respect to the British Pound, Euro and Australian dollar would result in a charge of $6 million, while a 10% decrease in foreign currency exchange rate with respect to the same currencies would result in a benefit of $5 million to our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The material changes in our exposure to market risks have been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March  10, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

  (a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
