Travelport Worldwide Limited Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

 

LANGLEY, U.K., August 4, 2016 — Travelport Worldwide Limited (NYSE: TVPT) announces its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

Key Points

·Net revenue increased 9% to $606 million
· Operating income of $38 million and net loss of $14 million
·Air revenue increased 6% to $426 million with Beyond Air revenue growth of 22% to $148  million ; the latter now contributing 26% of Travel Commerce Platform revenue (Q2 2015: 23%)
·eNett net revenue increased 85% to $38 million, with a strong contribution from global OTA customers
·Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% to $139 million. This includes a full provision of $11 million in relation to a travel agency in Europe that has initiated insolvency proceedings, which offset 9 percentage points of Adjusted EBITDA growth from the rest of the business
·Full year 2016 net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance unchanged; raising full year 2016 Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance following successful repricing of term loans in June

 

Gordon Wilson, President and CEO of Travelport, commented:

 

“Travelport’s performance this quarter was strong in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which was up 9% year over year, before the impact of a full provision we have made relating to a long term contract with a travel agency. We continue to benefit from recent customer implementations and product innovations, driving revenue growth across our platform and in International regions where growth was 15% . We are excited about new business agreed with major travel agencies in key regions such as Expedia (Europe), Yatra.com (India), Travix (global) and Almundo.com (Latin America) which will support future growth.

 

Within our Beyond Air portfolio, our BtoB payments business, eNett, delivered yet another excellent quarter with net revenue up 85%, driven by recent customer implementations as well as strong transaction growth at existing customers, particularly global OTAs. Assuming the continuation of current trends we anticipate eNett’s full year net revenue to be in the range of $145-$155 million – up 58%-68% year over year .

 

Based on our performance to date, our known customer wins and despite the setback of the provision we have made, we’re pleased to reiterate our full year net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, in what is a more challenging economic and travel environment. In addition, following the successful repricing of our term loans, we are raising our expectations for full year Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.”

Discussion of Results for the Second Quarter of 2016 (continued)

 

Reported Segments remained stable at 87 million. International Reported Segments increased 3%, offset by a 6% decrease in United States Reported Segments primarily due to the previously advised impact of our renegotiated contract with Orbitz Worldwide in 2014. Travel Commerce Platform RevPas increased 10% to $6.61, driving a $48 million increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue. International RevPas increased 11% to $8.05 and United States RevPas increased by 4% to $4.46.

 

International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased by $55 million, with Asia Pacific and Europe contributing $48 million of this increase. Revenue from these two regions increased 13% and 22%, respectively, due to:

·An increase in Reported Segments of 6% and 2%, respectively
·Improved pricing, mix and merchandising within Air revenue
·Growth in payment solutions and expansion into mobile commerce

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2 million, or 1%, to $139 million primarily due to the following:

·Growth in net revenue of $52 million
·An increase of $42 million in cost of revenue that included an $11 million prepaid incentive allowance related to a long-term contract with a travel agency in Europe that has initiated insolvency proceedings
·An increase of $8 million in costs within selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) driven primarily by an increase in workforce expense due to the continued expansion of our platform through acquisition and investment in our go-to-market capabilities

 

Operating Income

Operating income decreased by $25 million to $38 million primarily due to the following:

·$33 million increase in non-core corporate costs within SG&A mainly related to a $30 million fluctuation in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts
·reduction of $6 million in depreciation and amortization primarily due to a decrease in amortization on a portion of acquired intangible assets as their useful lives expired
·$2 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA

 

Net (Loss) Income

Net income decreased by $31 million from a net income of $16 million in 2015 to a net loss of $14 million in 2016, primarily due to the following:

·$25 million decrease in operating income
·$6 million increase in interest expense resulting from an unrealized loss on interest rate derivative contracts
·$3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized as a result of our debt repricing in June 2016
·$3 million decrease in tax related in part to the impact of allowance for prepaid incentive discussed above

 

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income decreased by $1 million to $34 million primarily due to the following:

·$31 million decrease in net income
·$30 million fluctuation in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts which is excluded to arrive at Adjusted Net Income

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4 million to $77 million, primarily as a result of higher interest payments of $14 million due to a change in the timing of payments in conjunction with our debt repricing in June 2016.

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow decreased by $1 million to a cash inflow of $52 million, primarily as a result of a reduction in net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Net Debt

Net Debt increased from $2,282 million as of December 31, 2015 to $2,284 million at June 30, 2016, and is comprised of $2,411 million in total debt less $127 million in cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in total debt of $26 million was more than offset by a $28 million lower cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015.

Full Year 2016 Guidance

 

The following forward-looking statements, as well as those made elsewhere within this press release, reflect expectations as of August 4, 2016. We assume no obligation to update these statements. Results may be materially different and are affected by many factors detailed in this release and in Travelport’s quarterly and annual Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings and/or furnishings, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

For the full year 2016, Travelport’s guidance for net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA is unchanged, as detailed below. Furthermore, we expect Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Income per Share (diluted) to be higher than previously anticipated, principally due to a lower interest charge following the repricing of our $2.34 billion term loans which completed on June 23, 2016.

 

  FY 2016 Guidance  
(in $ millions, except per share amounts) Revised Growth Previous
Net revenue $2,350 - $2,400 6% - 8% Unchanged
Adjusted EBITDA $565 - $580 6% - 8% Unchanged
Adjusted Net Income $145 - $155 19% - 27% $140 - $150
Adjusted Income per Share – diluted $1.16 - $1.24 16% - 24% $1.12 - $1.20
Adjusted Free Cash Flow $150 - $170 12% - 27% $145 - $165

 

This guidance assumes spot foreign exchange rates as of July 28 , 2016, together with the impact of foreign exchange rate hedges undertaken during 2015 as part of our rolling hedging program. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial guidance to relevant GAAP guidance is not available without unreasonable effort because of the unavailability of information required to reasonably predict certain reconciling items, such as corporate and restructuring costs, litigation and related costs, losses or gains on foreign exchange and interest derivative contracts and impairments.

 

Impact of Foreign Exchange Movements

 

Our results of operations are reported in U.S. dollars. With approximately 91% of our net revenue denominated in U.S. dollars in Q2, exchange rate movements in this currency have a low impact on our net revenue. eNett, which represented approximately 6% of our net revenue in Q2, is the largest source of non-U.S. dollar net revenue.

 

Of our costs and expenses in Q2, excluding depreciation on property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-core corporate costs, approximately 64% were denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

We employ foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly against the British pound, the Euro and the Australian dollar, which are the main non-U.S. dollar components of our costs and expenses.

 

The year over year impact of foreign exchange movements had a positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA for Q2.

 

Dividend

 

On August 3, 2016, Travelport’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per common share for the second quarter of 2016. The dividend will be payable on September 15 , 2016 to shareholders of record on September 1 , 2016.

 

Changes to the Board

 

We have further strengthened our Board through the appointment of a new independent director, Scott Forbes, effective July 15, 2016. Mr. Forbes currently serves as Chairman of Ascential plc, Rightmove Group plc and Innasol Group Limited. He previously served as the Chairman of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. through to September 2015. Mr. Forbes has over 35 years’ of operations, finance and online experience including 15 years at Cendant Corporation, which was formerly the largest provider of travel and residential property services worldwide. Mr. Forbes established Cendant’s international headquarters in London in 1999 and led this division as Group Managing Director.

The Board has also accepted the resignation of Gregory Blank, a member of our Board, effective July 15, 2016. Mr. Blank is a Managing Director in the Corporate Private Equity Group of The Blackstone Group and served as a Director since May 2013.

 

With these changes, Travelport's Board of Directors still consists of eight members, all of whom, with the exception of the President and CEO, Gordon Wilson, are independent directors.

The Company’s second quarter 2016 earnings conference call will be held later today (on August 4, 2016) beginning at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

DEFINITIONS

(unaudited)

 

Definitions

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest expense, net (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments), and related income taxes.

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, adjusted to remove the impact of cash paid for other adjusting items which we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations and to deduct Capital Expenditures.

 

Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share - Diluted is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period divided by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares.

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, share of earnings (losses) in equity method investments, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as gain on sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, certain litigation and related costs, and other non-cash items such as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on earnings hedges, and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments, along with any income tax related to these exclusions.

 

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments.

 

Capital Expenditures is defined as cash paid for property and equipment plus repayments in relation to capital leases and other indebtedness.

 

Customer Loyalty Payments are payments made to travel agencies or travel providers with an objective of increasing the number of travel bookings using the Company’s Travel Commerce Platform and to improve the travel agencies or travel providers’ loyalty, which are instrumented through agreements with a term over a year. Under the contractual terms, the travel agency or travel provider commits to achieve certain economic objectives for the Company. Such costs are specifically identifiable to individual contracts with travel agencies or travel providers, which have determinable contractual lives. Due to the contractual nature of the payments, the Company believes that such assets are appropriately classified as intangible assets.

 

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprising of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

 

Reported Segments means travel provider revenue generating units (net of cancellations) sold by the Company’s travel agency network, geographically presented by region based upon the point of sale location.

 

Travel Commerce Platform RevPas (“RevPas”) represents Travel Commerce Platform revenue per segment and is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. We have included these measures as they are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. They are also used by management to assess the performance and profitability of the Company to determine incentive compensation for future periods.

 

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Adjusted Free Cash Flow. This measure is useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We believe this measure gives management and investors a better understanding of the cash flows generated by our underlying business, as 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. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Adjusted Free Cash Flow has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. This measure should not be considered as measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP.

 

We believe Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted is a useful measure for our investors as it represents, on a per share basis, our consolidated results, taking into account depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments) and related income taxes but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted has similar limitations as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not include all items that affect our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

 

Management uses Net Debt to review our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. Further, we believe, certain debt rating agencies, creditors and credit analysts monitor our Net Debt as part of their assessment of our business. Net Debt is not a measurement of our indebtedness under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to assess our total debt or any other measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
