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” refer to Travelport Worldwide 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 continuing 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;

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 payment solutions and mobile commerce;

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;

the impact on business conditions both in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and worldwide as a result of the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union (“E.U.”);

pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry;

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

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

maintenance and protection of our information technology and intellectual property.
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, 2015, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 18,

2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2016, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Travelport Worldwide Limited (the “Company” or “Travelport”) is a travel commerce platform providing distribution, technology, payment, mobile and other solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. With a presence in approximately 180 countries, Travelport business is comprised of:
The Travel Commerce Platform, through which the Company facilitates travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers, such as airlines and hotel chains, with online and offline travel buyers in the Company’s proprietary business to business (“B2B”) travel commerce platform. As travel industry needs evolve, Travelport is utilizing its Travel Commerce Platform to redefine the electronic distribution and merchandising of airline core and ancillary products, as well as extending its reach into the growing world of travel commerce beyond air, including to hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. In addition, Travelport has leveraged its domain expertise in the travel industry to design a pioneering B2B payment solution that addresses the need of travel agencies to efficiently and securely make payments to travel providers globally. The Company also provides travel companies with a mobile travel platform and digital product set that allows airlines, hotels, corporate travel management companies and travel agencies to engage with their customers through mobile services including apps, mobile web and mobile messaging. Travelport utilizes the extensive data managed by its platform to provide an array of additional services, such as advertising solutions, subscription services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.
Through its Technology Services, Travelport provides critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other solutions, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. The Company hosts reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc.
The Company has two operating segments, Travelport and eNett; however, the Company reports them together as one reportable segment as eNett does not meet the thresholds for a separate reportable segment.
These consolidated condensed financial statements and other consolidated condensed financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, with the exception of the December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet which was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In presenting the consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2016.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2016, the Company has presented U.S. dollar amounts and certain statistical information in tables rounded to the nearest thousand as compared to the nearest million as presented in previous periods.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide specific guidance relating to classification of certain items, including cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investments, and cash flows classification based on its predominate source or use. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity will recognize allowance for credit losses based on its estimate of expected credit losses, which will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance requires an entity to consider all available relevant information when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and their implications for expected credit losses. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Compensation—Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions which simplifies the current accounting requirements. The update includes accounting for income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting which supersedes the current guidance on leases. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the current guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities of unconsolidated

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
subsidiaries (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
Income Taxes
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance in relation to the balance sheet presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. This guidance simplifies the current presentation, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be separated into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position, and requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net non-current deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction. The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The adoption of this guidance will impact the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
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 to which the entity expects it to be entitled 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 of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the 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.
In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new revenue guidance issued in May 2014 by one year but allowed companies a choice to adopt the guidance as of the original effective date that was set out in May 2014. The Company has decided to defer the application date and, consequently, the May 2014 revenue recognition guidance will be applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. 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 the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs which would continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued further guidance to clarify the SEC’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements whereby such costs could be presented as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted the provision of this guidance effective January 1, 2016. As a result of

Upon the adoption of U.S. GAAP guidance, effective January 1, 2016, unamortized debt finance costs of  $24 million have been reclassified and deducted from the term loans balance as of December 31, 2015 (see Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements).
(3)
Interest rate on the term loans as of December 31, 2015, was L+4.75%.
On September 20, 2016, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of  $50 million principal amount of its term loans outstanding under its senior secured credit agreement. Pursuant to this prepayment, the Company recognized $1 million as loss on early extinguishment of debt.
As a result of the voluntary prepayment of  $50 million, the Company is not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the term loans until the fourth quarter of 2018. However, the Company has classified a portion of the term loans as “current portion of long-term debt” as the Company has the intent and ability to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flows from operations, which currently are expected to occur within the next twelve months. The amount of any such prepayments may vary based on the Company’s actual cash flow generation and needs, as well as general economic conditions.
On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit agreement which, (i) amended the applicable rates to 3.00% per annum, in the case of base rate loans, and 4.00% per annum, in the case of LIBOR loans and (ii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at the election of the Company, (i) LIBOR plus 4.00% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement plus 3.00%. The term loans are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and a base rate floor of 2.00%. The Company expects to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 4.00% for the term loans. The Company provided a 0.25% discount of  $6 million to all the lenders participating in this repricing, which was capitalized. Certain lenders contributed $143 million towards the term loans, an amount equal to that was paid to the lenders who opted to leave or reduce their participation. On repricing, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of  $3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company (i) repaid $68 million of term loans (including a voluntary prepayment of  $50 million) outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, (ii) amortized $4 million of debt finance costs and $4 million of debt discount, and (iii) repaid $34 million under its capital lease obligations and other indebtedness, entered into $17 million of new capital leases for information technology assets and incurred $2 million of other indebtedness.

8. Long-Term Debt (Continued)
Under the senior secured credit agreement, the Company has a $125 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of  $50 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company borrowed and repaid $10 million under this facility. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and utilized $21 million for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of  $104 million remaining.
The senior secured credit agreement also permits the issuance of certain cash collateralized letters of credit in addition to those that can be issued under the revolving credit facility, whereby 103% of cash collateral is to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2016, there were no outstanding cash collateralized letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants related to its long-term debt.
9. Financial Instruments
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 exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there was no material change in the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies or in its fair value methodology. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a net liability position of  $23 million related to derivative financial instruments associated with its interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The primary interest rate risk exposure as of September 30, 2016 was the impact of LIBOR interest rates on the Company’s dollar denominated variable rate term loans. The term loans have a 1.00% LIBOR floor. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, LIBOR rates were below 1.00%. The primary foreign currency risk exposure as of September 30, 2016 was to exchange rate fluctuations that arise from certain intercompany transactions and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.

The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are probability of default of approximately 11% and a recovery rate of 20% which are applied to the Company’s credit default swap adjustments. In accordance with the Company’s policy, as the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives has not been greater 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 September 30, 2016.
The fair value of the Company’s total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of its term loans based on quoted prices obtained from independent brokers for identical debt instruments when traded as an asset and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
10. 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 September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $35 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $19 million relates to the twelve months ending September 30, 2017. These purchase obligations extend through 2020.
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.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
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 or sales of debt or equity 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 or equity security issuances or sales. 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 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.
11. Equity
Purchase of Non-Controlling Interest in a Subsidiary
In June 2016, the Company acquired an additional 40% of the equity of Locomote Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Locomote”) from the non-controlling shareholders for total consideration of  $9 million. The excess of consideration paid by the Company over the carrying value of the non-controlling interest acquired is recorded within additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet, and the cash payment is presented as a financing activity in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s ownership in Locomote was 96%.

In March 2016, the Company granted 0.6 million RSUs, 0.7 million PSUs and 1.2 million stock options under the Travelport Worldwide Limited 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2014 Equity Plan”). The RSUs and stock options vest annually in quarterly installments on April 15 each year, over a period of four years, if the employee continues to remain in employment during the vesting period. The number of PSUs that will vest on April 15, 2019 is based on the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and continued employment of the employee during the vesting period.
On June 8, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the 2014 Equity Plan (the “Amended 2014 Equity Plan”), which provides for an additional 8.9 million common shares available for issuances of equity awards thereunder.
As of September 30, 2016, 0.5 million stock options have vested and become exercisable. The weighted-average exercise price of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $13.26 per option, with the remaining weighted average contractual term as of September 30, 2016 of 9.47 years.
Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 resulted in a credit to equity on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets of  $23 million and $20 million, respectively.

$ 0.17 $ 0.03 $ 0.18 $ 0.09
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common shares equivalents during each period.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had 2.3 million and 2.0 million, respectively, of weighted average common share equivalents, primarily associated with the Company’s stock options, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive as the common shares repurchased from the total assumed proceeds applying the treasury stock method exceed the common shares that would have been issued.
14. Subsequent Events
On November 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of  $0.075 per common share for the third quarter of 2016, which is payable on December 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on December 1, 2016.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 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, mobile 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 (our Travel Commerce Platform). In 2015, we processed approximately $82 billion of travel spending. Since 2012, we have strategically invested in products 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.
We have one reporting segment, and we further classify revenue according to its source as either Travel Commerce Platform revenue (comprised of Air and Beyond Air) or Technology Services revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Air, Beyond Air and Technology Services represented 71%, 24% and 5%, respectively, of our net revenue.
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 120 low cost carriers (“LCCs”). Our access to business travelers, merchandising capabilities and ability to process complex itineraries have attracted and allowed for the full integration of several fast-growing LCCs such as Air Asia, EasyJet and Ryanair 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, mobile commerce, 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.
For payment solutions, eNett International (Jersey) Limited’s (“eNett”) core offering is a Virtual Account Number (“VAN”) 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, eNett generated net revenue of $42 million and $113 million, respectively, representing an approximately 60% and 72% increase compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
22

Following our acquisition of Mobile Travel Technologies Ltd. (“MTT”) in July 2015, we also provide a mobile travel platform and digital product set that allows airlines, hotels, corporate travel management companies and travel agencies to engage with their customers through mobile services, including apps, mobile web and mobile messaging.
In addition to hospitality, payment solutions and mobile commerce, 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 reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc. In addition, we own 51% of IGT Solutions Private Ltd., an application development services provider based in Gurgaon, 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 changes in both Reported Segments and 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, mobile commerce, advertising and other platform services. Reported Segments is defined as 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 other GAAP and non-GAAP measures as performance metrics.

(1)
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.
(2)
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments.
(3)
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 the sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”), 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 derivate instruments, along with any income tax related to these exclusions.
(4)
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.
(5)
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 on property and equipment additions, capital lease and other indebtedness repayments (“Capital Expenditure”).
We utilize non-GAAP (or adjusted) financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—diluted, to provide useful supplemental information to assist investors in understanding and assessing our performance and financial results on the same basis that management uses internally. These adjusted financial measures provide investors greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to evaluate our core operations, forecast future results, determine future capital investment allocations and understand business trends within the industry. These metrics are also used by our Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods. Management believes the adjusted financial measures assist investors in the comparison of financial results between periods as such measures exclude certain items that management believes are not reflective of our core operating performance consistent with how management reviews the business.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—diluted, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share—diluted, as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of these measures has limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

We have included Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share – diluted as we believe it 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, it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated condensed statements of operations.
For a discussion of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flows.”
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 percentages for our Travel Commerce Platform for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

We expect some of the regions in which we currently operate, such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, 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 120 LCCs. In addition, we serve numerous Beyond Air travel
26

providers, including approximately 650,000 hotel properties (of which over 550,000 are independent hotel properties), over 36,000 car rental locations, approximately 60 cruise-line and tour operators and 13 major rail networks worldwide. We aggregate travel content across approximately 67,000 travel agency locations representing over 235,000 online and offline travel agency terminals worldwide, which in turn serves millions of end customers globally. None of our travel buyers or travel providers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Renegotiated Legacy Contract: In February 2014, we entered into a renegotiated long-term agreement under which Orbitz Worldwide uses our services in the United States and other countries. Under the agreement, we paid incremental benefits in 2014, and since then, we have paid and will continue to pay further increased fees in later years for each air, car and hotel segment. Since 2015, Orbitz Worldwide has wider flexibility to use traditional GDS providers for services. 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.
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 first two quarters 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 U.S. dollars, a portion of our cost base is transacted in non-U.S. dollar currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar).
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 September 30, 2016, Net revenue increased by $31 million, or 6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $32 million, or 6%.

The increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $32 million, or 6%, was due to a $9 million, or 2%, increase in Air revenue and a $23 million, or 18%, increase in Beyond Air revenue. Overall, there was a 6% increase in Travel Commerce Platform RevPas, with Reported Segments remaining stable.

Our Travel Commerce Platform continues to benefit from growth in Air and Beyond Air revenue. The value of transactions processed on the Travel Commerce Platform decreased to $19.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $20.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of a decrease in segments in the U.S. and a reduction in average ticket prices in line with global trends. Our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings increased to 66% from 65%. We increased our car rental days sold to 26 million from 25 million and our hotel room nights sold to 17 million from 16 million, with hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued remaining stable at 49.

International
Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased $34 million, or 9%, due to an 8% increase in RevPas and a 1% increase in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was a result of growth in our Air and Beyond Air offerings. The increase in Air was mainly due to improved pricing and merchandising, and the increase in Beyond Air was primarily driven by growth in payment solutions. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 71% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Asia Pacific
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased $12 million, or 10%, due to a 6% increase in RevPas and a 5% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments increased due to growth in South Korea, Hong Kong and India.
Europe
Revenue in Europe increased $22 million, or 14%, primarily due to a 13% increase in RevPas and a 1% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and payment solutions in Beyond Air.

Latin America and Canada
Revenue in Latin America and Canada decreased $1 million, or 3%, due to a 3% decrease in RevPas with Reported Segments remaining stable. The decrease in RevPas was primarily driven by a decline in Air revenue.
Middle East and Africa
Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased $1 million, or 2%, due to a 5% increase in RevPas offset by a 4% decrease in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was primarily due to revenue growth in Beyond Air.
United States
Revenue in the United States decreased $2 million, or 2%, due to a decrease in Reported Segments, which was primarily driven by the impact of the renegotiated contract with Orbitz Worldwide in 2014.

SG&A expenses increased by $10 million, or 8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015. SG&A expenses included $14 million and $6 million of charges for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $2 million, or 2%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel, increased by $10 million, or 13%, primarily as a result of increased wages and benefits due to headcount increases related to the expansion of our Travel Commerce Platform through acquisitions and go-to-market capabilities and merit increases, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange movement. Non-workforce expenses, which include costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased $8 million, or 28%, primarily due to reduced administrative expenses and lower realized foreign exchange losses.
Non-core corporate costs of $14 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, certain legal and related costs and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses related to derivatives. The increase of $8 million is primarily due to a $4 million increase in corporate and restructuring costs and a $2 million increase in equity-based compensation and related taxes.

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased by $11 million, or 26%, due to a favorable impact of fair value changes of our interest rate swaps, a decrease in outstanding balance of term loans under our senior secured credit agreement and a decrease in the interest rate on the such term loans from 5.75% during three months ended September 30, 2015 to 5.00% during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In September 2016, we voluntarily prepaid $50 million principal amount of the term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement, resulting in a $1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2016 does not differ significantly from the U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of a number of offsetting items such as (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance continued to be maintained in various jurisdictions including the U.S. due to the historical losses in those jurisdictions and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions.

Our Travel Commerce Platform continues to benefit from growth in Air revenue and Beyond Air revenue. The value of transactions processed on the Travel Commerce Platform decreased to $60.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $64.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of a decrease in segments in the U.S. and a reduction in average ticket prices in line with global trends. Our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings increased to 67% from 65%. We increased our hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued to 47 from 46, our car rental days sold to 72 million from 70 million, and our hotel room nights sold to 50 million from 49 million.

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased by $11 million, or 10%, due to the adverse impact of fair value changes of our interest rate swaps, offset by a decrease in outstanding balance of term loans under our senior secured credit agreement and a decrease in the interest rate on such term loans from 5.75% to 5.00% in June 2016.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In June 2016, we amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the interest rate on our term loans by 75 basis points. In connection with this amendment, certain lenders under the credit agreement were repaid partially or in full. Further, in September 2016, we voluntarily prepaid $50 million principal amount of the term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement. These transactions resulted in a $4 million loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Gain on Sale of Shares in Orbitz Worldwide
In February 2015, we sold all of our remaining shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide, which were classified as available-for-sale securities, and realized a gain of $6 million for 2015.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 differs significantly from the U.S. Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of a number of items such as (i) being subject to income tax in
35

numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance continued to be maintained in various jurisdictions including the U.S. due to the historical losses in those jurisdictions and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions.
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 September 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability were as follows:

With the cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated condensed balance sheet, 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.
Working Capital
Our cash flows from operations are significantly impacted by revenue derived from, and commissions paid to, travel providers and travel agencies and consist of accounts receivables and deferred revenue from travel providers and travel agencies, current prepaid travel agency incentive payments and accrued liabilities for commissions. The movement within these account balances are included within working capital.

Substantially all of our Air revenue within our Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses. ACH requires participants to deposit certain balances into its demand deposit accounts by certain deadlines, which facilitates a timely settlement process. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Air revenue accounted for approximately 71% of our net revenue; however, only 48% of our outstanding receivables related to customers using ACH as of September 30, 2016. The ACH receivables are collected on average in 31 days. Beyond Air revenue is generally not collected through the ACH process and takes longer to collect. Our average net collection period for total accounts receivable was 38 DSO as of both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Growth in Air revenue in the month of September 2016 compared to December 2015, primarily contributed to the increase in our accounts receivable, net, balance.
Our revenue can experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. Our accounts receivable balance increased by $40 million from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016, and our accrued commissions and incentives increased by $52 million from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016, reflecting the seasonality in our business. Seasonality 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 and related cost of revenue typically peaks during the first half of the year as travelers plan and book their upcoming spring and summer travel.

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Adjusted Free Cash Flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe this measure 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 is unrelated to the underlying business, and our Capital Expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platform.
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. This measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

Other adjusting items relate to payments for costs included within operating income but excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, relate to payments for (i) corporate and restructuring costs and (ii) litigation and related costs accrued in 2012.
As of September 30, 2016, we had $138 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of  $16 million compared to December 31, 2015. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Operating activities: For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities was $214 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $154 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase of  $60 million is primarily a result of the increase in operating income and positive impact from fluctuations in working capital.
Investing activities: During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities of  $85 million was primarily due to $70 million cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and $15 million net cash consideration paid for acquisition of a distributor in Japan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash used in investing activities of $131 million was primarily due to $76 million of cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and $61 million net cash consideration paid for acquisition of MTT, offset by $6 million of cash received on the sale of available-for-sale-securities.
Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include:

Cash additions to software developed for internal use represent the continuing development of our systems to enhance our Travel Commerce Platform. Our expenditures have been focused on key areas, including investing in our data center by implementing zTPF software on our mainframes, the development
38

of our Travelport Universal API that underpins our new and existing applications, the development of Smartpoint, our innovative booking solution delivering multisource content and pricing, and the development of our Travelport Merchandising Suite to allow airlines to showcase their content in travel agency workflows.
Cash additions to computer equipment are primarily for our continuing investment in our data center.
We view our Capital Expenditure for the period to include cash additions to our property and equipment and repayment of capital lease and other indebtedness, and was $104 million and $102 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Financing activities: Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $145 million. This was primarily comprised of  (i) $68 million of term loans net repayment, (ii) $34 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments, (iii) $28 million in dividend payments, (iv) an $8 million purchase of non-controlling interest in Locomote and (v) an $8 million payment for lender fees and debt finance costs on repricing of our term loans. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $60 million. This was primarily comprised of (i) $28 million in dividend payments, (ii) $26 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments, (iii) $18 million of term loans repayment, (iv) a $13 million payment related to the purchase of treasury shares on vesting of equity awards, offset by (v) $26 million release of cash provided as collateral.
Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2016, our financing arrangements include our senior secured credit facilities, obligations under our capital leases and other indebtedness. The following table summarizes our Net Debt position as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Interest rate on the term loans as of December 31, 2015, was L+4.75%.

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprised of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is not a measurement of our indebtedness under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to assess our total debt or any other measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.
On September 20, 2016, we made a voluntary prepayment of  $50 million principal amount of our term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement. Pursuant to this prepayment, we recognized $1 million as loss on early extinguishment of debt.
39

As a result of the voluntary prepayment of  $50 million, we are not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the term loans until the fourth quarter of 2018. However, we have classified a portion of the term loans as “current portion of long-term debt” as we have the intent and ability to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flows from operations, which currently are expected to occur within the next twelve months. The amount of any such prepayments may vary based on our actual cash flow generation and needs, as well as general economic conditions.
On June 23, 2016, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement which, (i) amended the applicable rates to 3.00% per annum, in the case of base rate loans, and 4.00% per annum, in the case of LIBOR loans and (ii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at our election, (i) LIBOR plus 4.00% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 3.00%. The term loans are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and a base rate floor of 2.00%. We expect to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 4.00% for the term loans. We provided a 0.25% discount of $6 million to all the lenders participating in this repricing, which was capitalized. Certain lenders contributed $143 million towards the term loans, an amount equal to that was paid to the lenders who opted to leave or reduce their participation. On repricing, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of  $3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we (i) repaid $68 million of term loans (including a voluntary prepayment of  $50 million) outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, (ii) amortized $4 million of debt finance costs and $4 million of debt discount, and (iii) repaid $34 million under our capital lease obligations and other indebtedness, entered into $17 million of new capital leases for information technology assets and incurred $2 million of other indebtedness.
Under the senior secured credit agreement, we have a $125 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of  $50 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we borrowed and repaid $10 million under this facility. As of September 30, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and had utilized $21 million for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of  $104 million remaining.
The senior secured credit agreement also permits the issuance of certain cash collateralized letters of credit in addition to those that can be issued under the revolving credit facility, whereby 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2016, there were no outstanding cash collateralized letters of credit.
Substantially all of our debt is scheduled for repayment in September 2021.
Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l., our indirect 100% owned subsidiary, is the obligor (the “Obligor”) under our senior secured credit agreement. All obligations under our senior secured credit agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future domestic wholly 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 and intercompany indebtedness of the Obligor and each guarantor; (ii) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock and intercompany indebtedness of certain other subsidiaries directly owned by the Obligor or any other guarantor subject to certain exceptions and limitations; and (iii) 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 ratio, events of default and other provisions.
Our senior secured credit agreement limits certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to:

incur additional indebtedness;

pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of equity interests or make other restricted payments;
40


make certain investments;

sell certain assets;

create liens on certain assets to secure debt;

consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2016, our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as determined under our senior secured credit agreement, was 4.02 compared to the maximum allowable of 6.00, and we were in compliance with such other covenants under our senior secured credit agreement.
We re-evaluate our capital structure from time to time, including, but not limited to, refinancing our current indebtedness with other indebtedness which may have different interest rates, maturities and covenants.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our floating rate debt. We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The primary interest rate exposure as of September 30, 2016 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically the impact of LIBOR interest rates on our dollar denominated floating rate debt. Interest on our $2,240 million term loans is currently charged at LIBOR plus 4.00%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, LIBOR rates were below 1.00%. In order to protect against potentially higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, in 2015, we transacted $1,400 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts commencing February 2017 until February 2019. These swaps fix the LIBOR rate payable on approximately 60% of our floating rate debt during the future period at 1.4010%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate exposure were designated as accounting hedges. 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 $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that arises from certain intercompany transactions and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.
We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
During 2016, we used foreign currency derivative contracts (i.e. forward contracts) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of September 30, 2016, we had $304 million notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our foreign currency exposures were designated as accounting hedges. 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. Losses on these foreign currency derivative financial
41

instruments amounted to $16 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair values of our foreign currency derivative financial instruments partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risks they are intended to economically hedge.
As of September 30, 2016, our derivative contracts which hedge our interest rate and foreign currency exposure had a net liability position of $23 million and cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years.
Contractual Obligations
In June 2016, we amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the interest rate on our term loans by 75 basis points. Further, in September 2016, we voluntarily prepaid $50 million principal amount of our term loans. These transactions are expected to lower our annualized interest expense by approximately $20 million based on the principal balance outstanding as of September 30, 2016.
Other than as set forth above, as of September 30, 2016, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2016.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
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 against the U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2016. There are certain limitations inherent in these 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.
Interest Rate Risk
We assess our interest rate market risk utilizing a sensitivity analysis based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates. We have determined, through such analysis, that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of September 30, 2016, based on the outstanding floating rate debt balance would increase our annualized interest charge by $19 million, excluding the effect of fair value changes on our interest rate swaps. Due to the 1.00% LIBOR floor on our term loans, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates as of September 30, 2016 would not change our annualized interest charge.
In 2015, in order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR interest rates, we transacted $1,400 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts commencing February 2017 until February 2019. These swaps fix the LIBOR rate payable on approximately 60% of our floating rate debt during this future period at 1.4010%. We have not hedge accounted for these swaps. Mark to market fair value changes on these swaps, which represent the net present value of future cash flows on the swaps, are accounted for within interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statement of operations. As of September 30, 2016, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a credit or debit, respectively, to interest expense of  $28 million, due to changes in the fair value of these swaps.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, particularly with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. We anticipate such foreign currency exchange rate risk will remain a market risk exposure for the foreseeable future. We assess our foreign currency market risk
42

utilizing a sensitivity analysis based upon a hypothetical 10% change (increase or decrease) in exchange rate against the U.S. dollar on the value of our foreign currency derivative instruments as of September 30, 2016. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, the impact of a 10% strengthening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar would result in a charge of approximately $27 million on our consolidated condensed statements of operations, while a 10% weakening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the same currencies would result in a credit of  $29 million on our consolidated condensed statements of operations.
There were no material changes to our market risks as previously disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks” included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 18, 2016, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2016.
