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 and mobile solutions;

•

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 worldwide as a result of political decisions, including the United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) 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 and technological efficiency, including through our consolidation of multiple technology vendors and locations and the centralization of activities; and

•

maintenance and protection of our information technology (“IT”) 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2018, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2018, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on August 2, 2018, 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

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 and territories, the 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, hotel chains and car rental companies, with online and offline travel buyers in the Company’s proprietary business-to-business (“B2B”) travel platform. As customer needs and technologies evolve, Travelport continues to invest in its Travel Commerce Platform. Travelport has led innovation in electronic distribution and merchandising of airline core and ancillary products and extensively divested its offerings 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 has a strong focus on mobile commerce, providing a wide range of services that allows airlines, hotels, corporate travel management companies and travel agencies to engage with their customers through digital services, including apps, corporate booking tools 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 services to airlines, such as shopping, ticketing, departure control, business intelligence 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 criteria for a separate reportable segment.

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 (the “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, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.

The Company has reclassified certain prior period information as a result of the Company’s adoption of the new guidance on pensions as further described in Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Equity-Based Compensation—Modification Accounting

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance clarifying when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions or award classification and will not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Pension

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension cost and post-retirement benefit cost (“net benefit cost”). The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit cost to be presented as part of the other employee compensation costs in operating income, which can be further considered for capitalization as part of the capitalization policy, and to present the other components of net benefit cost, including interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gain or loss (the “other components”) separately, in one or more line items, outside of operating income. Further, the new guidance requires the disclosure of the line items that contain the other components of net benefit cost in the footnotes to the financial statements if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018, as required under the guidance, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reclassified $1 million and $3 million, respectively, related to the other components from selling, general and administrative expense to other expense within the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s net income, consolidated condensed balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes step two of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under this guidance, a goodwill impairment is the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The new guidance is applicable for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and requires its application using a prospective transition method. The Company early adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to include restricted cash as part of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance also requires a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances disclosed in the balance sheet with the corresponding amounts as shown in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. Upon adoption, this guidance did not have an

impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, however, as of September 30, 2018 the Company had $3 million of restricted cash that is included with cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated condensed statements of cash flows (see Note 8—Other Non-Current Assets).

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide specific guidance relating to the 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 Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the current guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The guidance significantly revises the accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities of unconsolidated subsidiaries (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) and (ii) 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 Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. 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 contracts with customers. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements (see Note 3—Revenue).

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Intangibles—Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation, set-up and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by a vendor, which is a service contract. Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. The new guidance also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. This guidance is effective for the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company can choose to adopt the new guidance (1) prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date this guidance is first applied or (2) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends certain of the existing guidance to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The guidance requires a company to additionally disclose reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The guidance no longer requires certain disclosures, including disclosures on the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. This guidance is effective for the Company for the annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020 and has to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends certain of the existing guidance to add, remove and modify disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires additional disclosures, including the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance no longer requires certain disclosures, including the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the 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, allowance for credit losses will be recognized based on the estimate of expected credit losses, which will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance requires all available relevant information to be considered 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 its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting that 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 statement of operations. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued further guidance to provide another option for transition under which, the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the year of adoption will not need to be restated. Under this transition method, a company can apply the transition provisions on January 1, 2019 (i.e. the effective date). The Company expects to adopt the new lease guidance by applying the transition provisions on January 1, 2019 and will recognize the cumulative effect of the transition adjustment as of the effective date. The Company does not expect to provide new lease disclosures for the periods prior to the effective date.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures, controls and processes, including evaluating the use of certain optional practical expedients. Further, the Company has selected a lease accounting system to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements under the new guidance and is in the process of its implementation. The Company is reviewing and analyzing its inventory of existing operating leases. The Company expects a majority of its existing operating leases, with minimum lease commitments as of September 30, 2018 of $94 million, will be subject to the new guidance. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will recognize operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated condensed balance sheets that will increase its total assets and liabilities. Although the new guidance is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations or its consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from operating and finance leases contracts.

3. Revenue

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under previous revenue recognition guidance. The Company recorded a $1 million reduction to its accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, representing the cumulative impact of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance, which primarily relates to the timing of recognition of hotel reservations in the Company’s Beyond Air revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was an immaterial impact to net revenue as a result of applying the new revenue recognition guidance.

The Company operates a travel commerce platform providing distribution, technology, payment, mobile and other solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. Through its Travel Commerce Platform, the Company connects travel providers (“customers”), such as airlines, hotel chains and car rental

companies, with online and offline travel buyers, including travel agencies, travel management companies and corporations. The Company also provides critical information technology services to airlines, such as shopping, ticketing, departure control, business intelligence and other solutions.

The following table presents the Company’s net revenue disaggregated by its source. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from net revenue.

(in $ thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

(1)

Includes $15 million and $46 million of Travel Commerce Platform revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, that does not represent revenue recognized from contracts with customers.

Travel Commerce Platform Revenue

Travel Commerce Platform revenue primarily utilizes a transaction volume model to recognize revenue. The Company charges a fee per segment booked. The Company also receives a fee for cancellations of bookings previously made on the Company’s platform and a fee for tickets issued by the Company that were originally booked on an alternative system.

Revenue for air bookings is recognized at the time of reservation, net of estimated cancellations and anticipated incentives payable to customers. Cancellations prior to the date of departure are estimated based on the historical level of cancellations (net of cancellation fees).

The Company’s Beyond Air portfolio includes hospitality, payment solutions, digital services, advertising and other platform services. Revenue for hotel reservations is recognized upon check-in, and revenue for car reservations is recognized upon pick-up, as such reservations can generally be cancelled without penalty. The Company’s payment solutions revenue is earned primarily as a percentage of total transaction value in the form of a share of interchange fees. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the payment is processed.

The Company collects annual fees from travel agencies, internet sites and other subscribers to access the applications on its Travel Commerce Platform, including providing the ability to access schedule and fare information, book reservations and issue tickets. Where the contractual terms are on a subscription basis with fixed amounts of fees, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Where the contractual terms are transaction-based with fees charged per transaction, revenue is recognized as the services are provided.

Technology Services Revenue

The Company collects fees, generally on a monthly basis under long-term contracts, for providing hosting solutions and other services to airlines, such as shopping, ticketing, departure control, business intelligence and other solutions. Where the contractual terms are on a subscription basis with fixed amounts of fees, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Where the contractual terms are transaction-based with fees charged per transaction, revenue is recognized as the services are provided.

Contract Balances

Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on the Company’s future performance obligations. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company did not have contract assets. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivables and contract liabilities (current and non-current) are as follows:

				Contract Liabilities
(in $ thousands)	Accounts Receivable, net(1)			Deferred Revenue (current)(1)			Deferred Revenue (non-current)(1)
Balance as of September 30, 2018		$	205,067		$	38,406		$	4,678

Increase (Decrease)		$	30,302		$	6,396		$	(1,378)

Accounts receivables, net, and deferred revenue exclude balances not related to contracts with customers.

Substantially all of the Company’s Air revenue within its Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), the Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses, whereby the payments are submitted monthly to the IATA or the ACH and

are settled (on a net basis) within approximately 30 days. Airlines that do not settle payments through them and customers in Beyond Air and Technology Services are generally invoiced on a monthly basis, and the payments are generally received within approximately 30 – 60 days.

Deferred revenue is recorded when a performance obligation has not been satisfied but an invoice has been raised. The cash payments received or due in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations were offset by $15 million of net revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was approximately $54 million, of which the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 80% over the next 24 months, including approximately 50% over the next 12 months.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amounts to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

4. Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision differs significantly from the expected provision amount calculated at the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the U.K., due to historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions, (iv) certain income or gains that are not subject to tax, (v) items identified as discrete during the interim periods, (vi) the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms (as defined below) and (vii) the impact of changes in the U.K. to the tax deductibility of interest.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $400 million, which expire between 2032 and 2037, state NOL carry forwards, which expire between 2018 and 2037, and alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and other tax credits carry forward of approximately $27 million. The Company had other non-U.S. NOL carry forwards of $345 million that expire between three years and indefinitely. As of December 31, 2017, the deferred tax asset in respect of these U.S. and non-U.S. NOL carry forwards and U.S. tax credits was $197 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. federal, U.S. state and non-U.S. NOL carry forwards and other deferred tax assets will not be realized. Consequently, the Company has recorded valuation allowances of $187 million against such deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017.

The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate includes the impact of (i) releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with the U.S. NOL carry forwards due to an increase in taxable temporary differences that support deferred tax asset utilization and (ii) releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with the U.K. NOL carry forwards (see below). However, the Company maintains a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets. Future realized earnings performance and changes in future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause an adjustment to the conclusion as to whether it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.

4. Income Taxes (Continued)

As a result of the Company’s debt restructuring in March 2018 (see Note 11—Long-Term Debt), the Company expects that there will be future taxable income in the U.K. other than the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Consequently, the Company realized a benefit of $10 million in the first quarter of 2018 following the release of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with its U.K. NOL carry forwards.

The Company’s preliminary estimate of the impact of the comprehensive changes to the U.S. tax legislation that were enacted in December 2017 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reforms”) is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the U.S. Tax Reforms, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the U.S. Tax Reforms that may require further adjustments and changes in the Company’s estimates that could be beneficial or adverse. The Company continued to assess the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The assessment will be completed by December 2018 (being the one–year measurement period from the date of enactment of the U.S. Tax Reforms), however, the Company currently does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. Given the anticipated further guidance from the U.S. Treasury about implementing the U.S. Tax Reforms and the potential for additional guidance from the SEC or the FASB related to it or additional information becoming available, the Company’s expectation of the impact may change.

9. Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company initiated plans to enhance the Company’s operational efficiency in response to changes in market conditions and the industry in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company expects to implement changes to its operating and management structure to streamline and simplify the organization.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded a severance charge of $15 million which is included within selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations and within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets as it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated for anticipated severances in accordance with the Company’s severance policies for ongoing benefit arrangements.

In November 2016, the Company committed to undertake a course of action to enhance and optimize the Company’s operational and technological efficiency. This program was substantially completed as of December 31, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018, the principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement (as defined below) was $1,393 million, which is netted for unamortized debt discount of $6 million and unamortized debt finance costs of $7 million.

(2)

As of December 31, 2017, the principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement (as defined below) was $2,154 million, which is netted for unamortized debt discount of $17 million and unamortized debt finance costs of $13 million.

(3)

As of September 30, 2018, the principal amount of senior secured notes outstanding was $745 million, which is netted for unamortized debt finance costs of $7 million.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In March 2018, Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Borrower in the form of (a) initial secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,400 million maturing in March 2025, issued at a discount of 0.50%, which amortizes in quarterly installments, commencing August 31, 2018, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loans (which payments can be reduced as a result of prepayments in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement), with the balance payable at maturity and (b) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million maturing in September 2022. The Company used the proceeds from these term loans, together with the proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes (discussed below) and cash on the balance sheet, to repay the outstanding balance remaining of the term loans under the previous senior secured credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) and to pay the related transaction expenses and fees. Upon the repayment in full of the obligations, the 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated. The Company recorded the debt refinancing transaction as the issuance of new debt and extinguishment of prior debt and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $28 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

11. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, the interest rate per annum applicable to (a) the term loans is based on, at the election of the Borrower, LIBOR plus 2.50% or base rate (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) plus 1.50% and (b) the borrowings under revolving credit facility, at the election of the Borrower, LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) plus 1.25%. LIBOR rates and base rates have a floor of 0.00%. The Company expects to pay interest based on LIBOR.

Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company (i) repaid $8 million principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement, including a $4 million voluntary prepayment, (ii) repaid $6 million principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement, (iii) amortized $2 million of debt finance costs and $1 million of debt discount, (iv) repaid $28 million under its capital lease obligations and entered into new capital leases arrangements for information technology assets resulting in a $72 million increase in capital lease obligations and (v) repaid $3 million under its other indebtedness obligations.

The Company is not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the term loans until the first quarter of 2019. However, the Company has classified a portion of its term loans (along with the contractual quarterly installments) as current portion of long-term debt as the Company intends and is able to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flow from operations, which the Company expects 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.

As discussed above, in March 2018, the Borrower entered into a new revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement with a consortium of banks. The lenders, terms, credit facility amount and maturity date under the new revolving credit facility are substantially the same as under the 2014 Credit Agreement, except for the reduction in interest rates discussed above. Under the new terms, the Borrower has a $150 million revolving credit facility, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of $100 million. As of September 30, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement, and $5 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of $145 million remaining.

Senior Secured Notes

In March 2018, Travelport Corporate Finance PLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a principal amount of $745 million in senior secured notes due in March 2026 with a stated interest rate of 6.00% per annum. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The interest on the senior secured notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2018.

The debt finance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt as part of interest expense in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The movements in total unamortized debt finance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are summarized below:

(in $ thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Debt Covenants and Guarantees

The 2018 Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the senior secured notes contain financial and other covenants, including: limitations on the ability of Travelport Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Borrower’s and the Issuer’s immediate parent entity (the “Parent Guarantor”) and its restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens or make certain investments and acquisitions and restricted payments, limitations on transactions with affiliates and certain restrictions on the sale of assets. A violation of these covenants could result in the Parent Guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries being

prohibited from making certain restricted payments, including dividends, or cause a default under the 2018 Credit Agreement or the Indenture, which would permit the participating lenders to restrict the Parent Guarantor’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to access the revolving credit facility and require the immediate repayment of any outstanding advances made under the 2018 Credit Agreement or the Indenture. Solely in the case of the revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement, if the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility exceeds a certain threshold, there is a requirement to maintain a first lien leverage ratio.

The senior secured notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally on a senior secured basis by the Parent Guarantor and certain of its existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that also guarantee the facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The senior secured notes and related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by security interests in all of the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ assets that also secure the facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement on a first-priority basis.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in full compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants related to its debt.

12. 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, 2018, there were no material changes in the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies or in its fair value methodology.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a net asset position of $6 million related to its derivative financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s primary foreign currency risk exposure as of September 30, 2018 was due to exchange rate fluctuations that arise from certain intercompany transactions and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities.

The Company uses foreign currency derivative contracts (forward contracts) to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily exposure to British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. The Company did not designate these foreign currency derivative contracts as accounting hedges. Fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency derivative contracts were recorded within the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations, which partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings they were intended to economically hedge.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s primary interest rate risk exposure was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically the impact of LIBOR interest rates on the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated variable rate term loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the average LIBOR rate applied to the term loans was 2.03%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, as of September 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding interest rate swap contracts that fix the LIBOR rate payable as follows:

Fair Value Disclosures for All Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments are as follows:

		September 30, 2018						December 31, 2017
(in $ thousands)	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Asset (liability)
Derivative assets	Level 2		$	20,176		$	20,176		$	18,736		$	18,736
Derivative liabilities	Level 2			(13,769)			(13,769)			(343)			(343)
Total debt	Level 2			(2,264,548)			(2,291,939)			(2,230,013)			(2,258,893)

The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are based on market quoted probability rates of default for each of the derivative assets and liabilities, resulting in a weighted average probability of default of 5% and a recovery rate of 75% for derivative assets and 65% for derivative liabilities. As the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives is less than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivative instruments for two consecutive quarters, the Company has categorized derivative fair valuations at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. A 10% change in the significant unobservable inputs will not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2018.

The fair value of the Company’s total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of its term loans and senior secured notes 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.

13. 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, 2018, the Company had approximately $85 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $48 million relates to the twelve months ending September 30, 2019. These purchase obligations extend through 2022.

Contingencies

Company Litigation

The Company is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax

matters. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the Company believes its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

Standard Guarantees/Indemnification

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

14. Equity

In April 2017, the Company sold its 51% controlling interest in IGT Solutions Private Ltd. (“IGTS”) for a total gross cash consideration of $18 million and recorded a gain on sale of such subsidiary of $1 million, which includes the reclassification of loss on currency translation adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4 million. The Company no longer owns any shares in, and/or controls, IGTS following the sale.

15. Equity-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)

During the first quarter of 2018, as part of its annual grant program, the Company granted 596,063 RSUs. These RSUs vest one-fourth annually over a period of four years, if the employee continues to remain in employment during the vesting period. The Company further granted 202,100 RSUs to certain employees that cliff-vest in approximately two years from the grant date upon continued employment of the employee during the vesting period. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying common shares as dividends are declared by the Company. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting of the associated RSUs and will be forfeited should the RSUs not vest. The RSUs do not have an exercise price, and the fair value of the RSUs is considered to be the closing market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. Certain of the Company’s outstanding RSUs may be settled by the issuance of common shares held as treasury shares. In line with the Company’s accounting policy, the compensation costs related to RSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis.

The table below presents the activity of the Company’s RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

(in dollars, except number of RSUs)	Number		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance as of January 1, 2018		1,526,280		$	13.01

Balance as of September 30, 2018		1,633,156		$	13.81

(1)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed net share settlements of 152,975 common shares in connection with employee taxable income created upon vesting of RSUs. The Company agreed to pay these taxes on behalf of the employees in return for the employees returning an equivalent value of common shares. These common shares were accounted for as treasury shares by the Company. Further, in respect of 51,396 vested RSUs, certain directors of the Company elected to defer receiving common shares until termination of their service as a director of the Company.

Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

During the first quarter of 2018, as part of its annual grant program, the Company granted 1,246,803 PSUs. The PSUs cliff-vest at the end of approximately three years from the date of the grant based on the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and continued employment of the employee during the vesting period. The ultimate number of PSUs that will vest also depends on the Company’s ranking within a group of companies based on achievement of its total shareholder’s return (“TSR”) during the applicable performance period compared to the TSR of the companies within the selected group. However, the total number of PSUs that will ultimately vest will not exceed 200% of the original grant. Each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of vesting, and, if there is any change in such probability, the Company records the cumulative effect of the adjustment in the current reporting period. All of the PSUs will be settled in the Company’s common shares. PSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying common shares as dividends are declared by the Company. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of PSUs in cash upon the vesting of the associated PSUs and will be forfeited should the PSUs not vest. The PSUs do not have an exercise price. For PSUs earned based on a market condition, the Company

utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Certain of the Company’s outstanding PSUs may be settled by the issuance of common shares held as treasury shares. In line with the Company’s accounting policy, the compensation costs related to the PSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis.

The table below presents the activity of the Company’s PSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

(in dollars, except number of PSUs)	Number		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance as of January 1, 2018		2,694,999		$	13.10
Granted at fair market value		1,444,522		$	16.33
Forfeited		(825,573)		$	13.57
Vested(1)		(11,290)		$	15.50
Balance as of September 30, 2018(2)		3,302,658		$	14.37

(1)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed net share settlements of 3,321 common shares in connection with employee taxable income created upon vesting of PSUs. The Company agreed to pay these taxes on behalf of the employees in return for the employees returning an equivalent value of common shares. These common shares were accounted for as treasury shares by the Company.

(2)

Total estimated awards that ultimately will vest based on the Company’s forecasted performance against the pre-defined targets and before considering any adjustments that may be necessary based on the ranking of the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the selected group is expected to be 2,122,960 PSUs.

Stock Options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not grant any stock options.

respectively). The total income tax benefit related to equity-based compensation expense was $0 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Total equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $12 million and $24 million, respectively ($11 million and $22 million after tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively). The total income tax benefit related to equity-based compensation expense was $1 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company expects the future equity-based compensation expense in relation to awards granted and outstanding as of September 30, 2018 will be approximately $29 million.

16. Income Per Share (Continued)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had nil and 1 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had 2.3 million and 2.4 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. These were excluded 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.

17. Discontinued Operations

In connection with the sale of the Gullivers Travel Associates business to Kuoni in 2011, the Company agreed to indemnify Kuoni through January 2018 for certain potential liabilities relating to pre-sale events. As no further obligations arose under the indemnity, the Company released the remaining balance of the indemnity provision of $28 million during the first quarter of 2018, which is included within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. This release of the indemnity provision did not have any impact on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

18. Subsequent Events

On October 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per common share for the third quarter of 2018, which is payable on December 20, 2018 to shareholders of record on December 6, 2018.

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, 2018 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 global travel and tourism industry. We facilitate travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers, such as airlines, hotel chains and car rental companies, with online and offline travel buyers in our proprietary B2B travel commerce platform. In 2017, we processed approximately $83 billion of travel spending. We continue to strategically invest 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 reportable 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, 2018, Air, Beyond Air and Technology Services represented approximately 67%, 29% and 4%, 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 480 airlines globally, including approximately 125 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 AirAsia, easyJet, IndiGo 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, digital services, 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, eNett generated net revenue of $240 million, representing an approximately 72% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to hospitality, payment solutions and digital services, we utilize the broad connections and extensive data managed by our Travel Commerce Platform to provide advertising solutions to over 3,000 advertisers 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 services to airlines, such as shopping, ticketing, departure control, business intelligence and other solutions, 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.

Management Performance Metrics

Our management 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, digital services, 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.

The table below sets forth our 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), components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs other than service costs and related income taxes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(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) excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of a subsidiary, non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, 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. Tax impacts not related to core operations have also been excluded (see Note 4—Income Taxes to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

(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)

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, less cash used for additions to property and equipment.

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. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—diluted 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 (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) 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.

(1)

Relates primarily to intangible assets acquired in the sale of Travelport to The Blackstone Group in 2006 and from the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007.

(2)

Relates to costs associated with corporate development transactions and costs incurred to enhance our organization’s efficiency, including restructuring activities (see Note 9—Restructuring Charges to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

(3)

Relates to the impairment of (i) customer loyalty payments of $3 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and (ii) property and equipment of $1 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

(4)

Includes (i) unrealized losses (gains) on foreign currency derivatives contracts of $2 million and $(7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $22 million and $(27) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively; (ii) unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate derivative contracts of $1 million and $(2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(12) million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively; (iii) $8 million related to revenue deferred in previous years for the nine months ended September 30, 2017; and (iv) other gains of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

(5)

Relates primarily to the tax impact of the loss on early extinguishment of debt, equity-based compensation, corporate and restructuring costs, impairment of long-lived assets and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative contracts that are excluded from net income to determine Adjusted Net Income. Tax adjustments are calculated at the rate applicable for the jurisdiction in which the adjusting item arose. The adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 also include

the benefit realized in the first quarter of 2018 following the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets associated with U.K. net operating losses carry forwards (see Note 4—Income Taxes to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

(6)

Excludes the impact of unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate derivative contracts of $1 million and $(2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(12) million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included within “Other—non-cash.”

(7)

Relates to interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gain or loss components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs, which we consider to be non-operating components, that are excluded from Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA starting January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of income per share—diluted to Adjusted Income per Share—diluted:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in $)	2018			2017			2018			2017
Income per share – diluted		$	0.04		$	0.04		$	0.55		$	0.76
Per share adjustments to net income to determine Adjusted Income per Share – diluted			0.27			0.14			0.60			0.33
Adjusted Income per Share – diluted		$	0.31		$	0.18		$	1.15		$	1.09

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), certain components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs 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.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Geographic Mix: Our geographically dispersed footprint helps insulate us from a 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, 2018 and 2017:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in percentages)	2018		2017
Asia Pacific		23		24
Europe		34		32
Latin America and Canada		5		5
Middle East and Africa		13		13
International		75		74
United States		25		26
Travel Commerce Platform		100		100

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.

Travel Provider and Travel Agency 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 480 airlines globally, including approximately 125 LCCs. In addition, we serve numerous Beyond Air travel providers, including approximately 650,000 hotel properties (of which over 500,000 are independent hotel properties), over 40,000 car rental locations, approximately 50 cruise-line and tour operators and 13 major rail networks worldwide. We aggregate travel content across approximately 65,000 travel agency locations representing approximately 220,000 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, 2018.

In general, our business is characterized by multi-year travel provider and travel agency contracts, with a portion of our contracts up for renewal each year. Our ability to obtain inventory from travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise-lines and other travel providers, and our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and enter into new relationships on acceptable financial and other terms impact our financial results. Our relationships with travel agencies typically are non-exclusive, meaning the travel agencies subscribe to, and have the ability to use, more than one GDS. As a result, travel agency strategies, including consolidation or changes in allocation of travel agency bookings among the GDSs, have impacted, and will continue to impact, our revenue and travel distribution costs. In addition, a travel agency’s business may be materially impacted for any reason and generate less than the anticipated volume of bookings, which, in turn, will affect our results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our results of operations were adversely impacted by the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency, the termination of our agreement with a European online travel agency (“OTA”) due to its contract breach that resulted in a $10 million impairment of our customer loyalty payments and other specific travel agency headwinds. Our results of operations in future periods will be adversely impacted in the event of the termination, non-renewal or reduction in volume of bookings from customers or travel agencies should we be unable to offset any such losses with new business and/or volume increases in bookings from existing customers and travel agencies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 the first two quarters of the year 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 operating cost base, primarily commissions, 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.

Results of Operations

On January 1, 2018, we adopted new guidance on revenue recognition applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under previous revenue recognition guidance. We recorded a reduction of $1 million to our accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, representing the cumulative impact of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance, which primarily relates to the timing of recognition of hotel reservations in our Beyond Air revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, there was an immaterial impact to net revenue as a result of applying the new revenue recognition guidance (see Note 3—Revenue to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

We have adopted new guidance on pension costs from January 1, 2018 (see Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—Pension to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). In accordance with the guidance, we have presented interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gain or loss components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs separately outside of operating income. As a result of the new guidance, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, we reclassified $1 million from selling, general and administrative expense to other expense within the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

Reported Segments (in thousands)			81,579			85,397			(3,818)		(4)

The increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $11 million, or 2%, was due to a $24 million, or 14%, increase in Beyond Air revenue, offset by a decrease in Air revenue of $13 million, or 3%. Overall, there was a 7% increase in Travel Commerce Platform RevPas and a 4% decrease in Reported Segments.

Our Travel Commerce Platform continues to benefit from growth in Beyond Air revenue. The value of transactions processed on our Travel Commerce Platform increased to $22.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $21.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in the value and volume of transactions in payment solutions offset by a decrease in Reported Segments. Our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings remained stable at 67%. Our hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued remained stable at 48. Our hotel room nights sold decreased by 4% from 18 million to 17 million, and our car rental days sold decreased by 2% from 30 million to 29 million, in each case for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

International

Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased by $14 million, or 3%, driven by an increase in Beyond Air revenue that was offset by a decrease in Air revenue. The increase in RevPas of 9% was a result of growth in Beyond Air, driven by an increase in payment solutions, partially offset by a decline in the remainder of the Beyond Air portfolio. Reported Segments decreased due to the loss of a large travel agency in the Pacific region and other specific travel agency headwinds. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 75% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Asia Pacific

Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased $5 million, or 3%, due to a 6% decrease in Reported Segments offset by a 3% increase in RevPas. Reported Segments decreased due to the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency, partially offset by growth in India and Hong Kong. RevPas increased primarily due to growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air offset by a decrease in Air revenue.

Europe

Revenue in Europe increased $16 million, or 9%, primarily due to a 17% increase in RevPas offset by a 7% decrease in Reported Segments. RevPas increased primarily due to growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air offset by a decrease in Air revenue. Reported Segments decreased mainly due to decrease in Greece, Russia and United Kingdom.

Latin America and Canada

Revenue in Latin America and Canada increased marginally by $1 million, or 2%.

Middle East and Africa

Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased marginally by $1 million, or 2%.

United States

Revenue in the United States decreased by $2 million, or 1%, due to a 4% decrease in Reported Segments resulting from specific travel agency headwinds offset by a 2% increase in RevPas.

Technology Services

Cost of revenue		$	400,679		$	388,027		$	12,652		3

Cost of revenue increased by $13 million, or 3%, as a result of a $21 million, or 7%, increase in commission costs, offset by an $8 million, or 10%, decrease in technology costs. Commissions increased primarily due to incremental commission costs from our payment solutions business and a 3% increase in travel distribution costs per segment primarily driven by mix and impairment of customer loyalty payments offset by a decrease in volume and favorable foreign exchange movements. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of $18 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and an impairment of customer loyalty payments of $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services decreased by $8 million, or 10%, primarily due to higher capitalization of technology investments.

SG&A expenses increased by $17 million, or 15%, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017. SG&A expenses include $22 million and $5 million of charges for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained stable. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel, decreased by $7 million, or 8%, primarily due to a decrease in headcount, lower employee related incentives, cost efficiencies and favorable foreign exchange movements. Non-workforce expenses, which include the costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, increased by $7 million, or 50%, primarily due to realized foreign exchange losses and an increase in general administration costs.

Non-core corporate costs of $22 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, certain legal and related costs and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses related to derivatives. The increase of $16 million is due to a $15 million increase in corporate and restructuring costs, $10 million unfavorable movements in the fair value of unrealized foreign currency derivative contracts offset by $9 million of lower equity-based compensation and related taxes.

Total depreciation and amortization remained stable at $50 million.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, decreased marginally by $1 million, or 4%. The positive impact resulting from a $3 million cost incurred in 2017 relating to amendments to our 2014 senior secured credit agreement, a $2 million decrease in amortization of debt finance costs and debt discount and a $1 million decrease due to our lower debt balance was offset by a $3 million unfavorable impact of fair value changes on our interest rate swap derivative contracts and a $2 million increase due to higher interest rates.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the third quarter of 2017, we amended the previous senior secured credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”), twice under which we (i) increased the total amount available under the revolving credit facility and extended its maturity and (ii) reduced the interest rates on our prior term loans by 50 basis points. In connection with these amendments, certain lenders were replaced by new lenders for the revolving credit facility and certain term loan lenders were repaid partially or in full. Further, during this period, we voluntarily prepaid an additional $50 million principal amount of the term loans then outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. These transactions resulted in a recognition of $5 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision differs significantly from the expected provision amount calculated at the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the U.K., due to historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions, (iv) certain income or gains that are not subject to tax, (v) items identified as discrete during the interim periods, (vi) the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms and (vii) the impact of changes in the U.K. to the tax deductibility of interest.

Our tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 includes an adjustment made for an increase in our annual expected full year tax rate due to a change in geographical mix of profits.

International

Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased by $94 million, or 7%, due to a 9% increase in RevPas offset by a 2% decrease in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was a result of revenue growth in Air and growth in Beyond Air, driven by an increase in payment solutions, partially offset

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by a decline in the remainder of the Beyond Air portfolio. The increase in Air was mainly due to improved pricing, partially offset by the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency and a $9 million recognition of revenue in 2017 in respect of revenue deferred in previous years. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Asia Pacific

Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased $11 million, or 3%, mainly due to a 10% decrease in Reported Segments, offset by an 8% increase in RevPas. Reported Segments decreased due to the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency, partially offset by growth in India and Hong Kong. RevPas increased primarily due to growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air offset by a decline in Air revenue.

Europe

Revenue in Europe increased $101 million, or 18%, primarily due to a 14% increase in RevPas and a 3% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments increased mainly due to growth in Netherlands, United Kingdom and Greece partially offset by decrease in Russia.

Latin America and Canada

Revenue in Latin America and Canada increased by $4 million, or 4%, primarily due to a 3% increase in Reported Segments and a 2% increase in RevPas, both mainly driven by growth in Air.

Middle East and Africa

Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased marginally by $1 million.

United States

Revenue in the United States increased by $2 million. The 1% increase in RevPas was offset by a 1% decrease in Reported Segments. RevPas increased primarily due to revenue growth in Air.

Technology Services

Technology Services revenue decreased $8 million, or 9%, primarily due to the sale of IGTS in April 2017.

Cost of revenue		$	1,254,868		$	1,144,572		$	110,296		10

Cost of revenue increased by $110 million, or 10%, as a result of a $127 million, or 14%, increase in commission costs, offset by a $17 million, or 7%, decrease in technology costs. Commissions increased primarily due to incremental commission costs from our payment solutions business and a 7% increase in travel distribution costs per segment driven by pricing, mix, impairment of customer loyalty payments and unfavorable foreign exchange movements, offset by decrease in volume. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of $59 million and $53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and an impairment of $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily resulting from a contract breach by a European OTA in the second quarter of 2018. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services decreased by $17 million, or 7%, due to reduced costs resulting from the sale of IGTS in April 2017 and higher capitalization of technology investments, offset by unfavorable foreign exchange movements.

Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $11 million, or 3%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel, increased by $9 million, or 3%, primarily due to merit and unfavorable foreign exchange movements, offset by cost efficiencies. Non-workforce expenses, which include the costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, increased marginally by $2 million, or 4%.

Non-core corporate costs of $60 million and $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, certain legal and related costs and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses related to derivatives. The increase of $48 million is primarily due to $49 million of unfavorable movements in the fair value of unrealized foreign currency derivative contracts and a $10 million increase in corporate and restructuring costs, offset by $13 million lower equity-based compensation and related taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is comprised of:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Change
(in $ thousands)	2018			2017			$			%
Depreciation on property and equipment		$	117,901		$	126,183		$	(8,282)		(7)
Amortization of acquired intangible assets			30,497			30,688			(191)		(1)
Total depreciation and amortization		$	148,398		$	156,871		$	(8,473)		(5)

Total depreciation and amortization decreased by $8 million, or 5%, due to a lower level of depreciable property and equipment. Amortization of acquired intangible assets remained stable.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, decreased by $26 million, or 28%, primarily due to (i) a $13 million favorable impact of fair value changes on our interest rate swap derivative contracts, (ii) a $4 million reduction due to our lower debt balance, (iii) a $4 million decrease in amortization of debt finance costs and debt discount and (iv) the positive impact resulting from a $3 million cost incurred in 2017 relating to amendments to our 2014 Credit Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

In March 2018, we issued senior secured notes and entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The proceeds from the issuance of the senior secured notes and term loan borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement, along with cash on our balance sheet, were used to fully repay our borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement. This transaction was accounted for as the issuance of new debt and an extinguishment of existing debt resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of $28 million.

During the third quarter of 2017, we amended the 2014 Credit Agreement twice under which we (i) increased the total amount available under the revolving credit facility and extended its maturity and (ii) reduced the interest rates on our prior term loans by 50 basis points. In connection with these amendments, certain lenders were replaced by new lenders for the revolving credit facility and certain term loan lenders were repaid partially or in full. Further, during this period, we voluntarily prepaid an additional $50 million principal amount of the term loans then outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. These transactions resulted in a recognition of $5 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Gain on Sale of a Subsidiary

In April 2017, we sold our 51% controlling interest in IGTS for a total gross cash consideration of $18 million and recorded a gain on the sale of such subsidiary of $1 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax assets in respect of U.S. and non–U.S. NOL carry forwards and U.S. tax credits was $197 million. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Consequently, we have recorded valuation allowances of $187 million against such deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017.

We regularly assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2018, our estimate of our annual effective tax rate includes the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with both the U.S. and U.K. NOL carry forwards (see below). However, we maintain a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets. Future realized earnings performance and changes in future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause an adjustment to the conclusion as to whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.

As a result of our debt restructuring in March 2018 (see Note 11—Long-Term Debt to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), we expect that there will be future taxable income in the U.K. other than the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Consequently, we realized a benefit of $10 million following the release of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with our U.K. NOL carry forwards (see Note 4—Income Taxes to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability were as follows:

(in $ thousands)	September 30, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents		$	200,333
Revolving credit facility availability			145,400

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.

The table below sets out our working capital as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as monitored by management, which is then reconciled to our working capital as presented in our consolidated condensed balance sheets:

	Asset (Liability)
(in $ thousands)	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017			Change
Accounts receivable, net		$	248,635		$	206,524		$	42,111

Working Capital		$	(130,151)		$	(208,350)		$	78,199

As of September 30, 2018, we had a working capital net liability of $130 million compared to $208 million as of December 31, 2017. The improvement in working capital of $78 million is primarily due to a $78 million increase in cash and cash equivalents ($82 million increase including restricted cash as discussed in “Cash Flows” below), a $42 million increase in accounts receivable, net, a $14 million increase in other assets, net, a $6 million decrease in each of the current portion of long-term debt and taxes, offset by a $45 million increase in accrued commissions and incentives, a $15 million increase in deferred revenue and prepaid incentives, net, and a $10 million increase in accounts payable and employee related.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The table below sets out information on our accounts receivable:

	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017			Change

Accounts receivable, net – Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”)			37			37			—

Substantially all of our Air revenue within our Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses. Both, IATA and ACH, require participants to deposit certain balances into their demand deposit accounts by certain deadlines, which facilitates a timely settlement process. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Air revenue accounted for approximately 67% of our net revenue; however, only 47% of our outstanding receivables related to customers using the IATA or the ACH as of September 30, 2018. The IATA and the ACH receivables are collected on average in 30 days. Beyond Air revenue is generally not collected through the IATA or the ACH process and takes longer to collect. Our average net collection period for total accounts receivable, net, was 37 DSO as of both September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017. The growth in Air revenue in September 2018 compared to December 2017 contributed to the increase in our accounts receivables, net, balance.

Our revenue can experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. Our accounts receivable balance increased by $42 million from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018, and our accrued commissions and incentives increased by $45 million from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018, 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.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the changes to our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Change
(in $ thousands)	2018			2017			$

As of September 30, 2018, we had $204 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, an increase of $82 million compared to December 31, 2017. The following discussion summarizes the changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $285 million compared to $274 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $11 million is primarily a result of the positive impact of changes in working capital and lower interest payments, offset by higher customer loyalty and income tax payments.

Investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash used in investing activities of $109 million was for the purchase of property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash used in investing activities of $83 million was due to $79 million of cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and a $3 million net cash outflow related to the sale of IGTS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 include:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,						Change
(in $ thousands)	2018			2017			$
Cash additions to software developed for internal use		$	96,934		$	62,459		$	34,475
Cash additions to computer equipment and other			12,302			16,733			(4,431)
Property and equipment additions		$	109,236		$	79,192		$	30,044

Our Capital Expenditures, substantially all of which relate to our Travel Commerce Platform, include cash additions for software developed for internal use and computer equipment, as well as cash used for the repayment of capital lease and other indebtedness obligations. We repaid capital lease and other indebtedness obligations of $31 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, which are primarily related to assets within our data center. Our total Capital Expenditures were $140 million and $109 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 and hybrid cloud capabilities, increasing connectivity for customers, including enabling airline New Distribution Capabilities content and enhancing our search technology and capabilities, developing mobile customer engagement solutions, the development of content for hotels and car rental providers, further development of Smartpoint, our innovative booking solution delivering multisource content and pricing and the development of our Travelport Merchandising Platform to allow airlines to showcase their content in travel agency workflows.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $93 million, which primarily consisted of (i) $1,400 million of gross proceeds from term loans borrowed under the 2018 Credit Agreement, (ii) $745 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes, (iii) $8 million of proceeds from the issuance of common shares on the exercise of stock options and under our employee share purchase plan, offset by (iv) $2,154 million of repayments of term loans under the 2014 Credit Agreement, (v) $31 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments and $8 million of principal amount of term loans under the 2018 Credit Agreement, (vi) $28 million of dividend payments to our shareholders and (vii) $22 million of payments towards debt finance costs and lender fees. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $128 million, which primarily consisted of (i) $68 million of term loans net repayments, (ii) $30 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments and (iii) $28 million in dividend payments to shareholders.

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Free Cash Flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We use this measure to conduct and evaluate our operating liquidity. We believe it typically presents an alternate measure of cash flows since purchases of property and equipment are a necessary component of our ongoing operations and provides useful information regarding how cash provided by operating activities compares to the property and equipment investments required to maintain and grow our platform. We believe it provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. This measure has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent cash flow for discretionary expenditures. This measure should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. This measure is not measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

We use Capital Expenditures to determine our total cash spent on acquisition of property and equipment and cash repayment of capital lease obligation and other indebtedness. We believe this measure provides management and investors an understanding of total capital invested in the development of our

platform. Capital Expenditures is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other entities. This measure has limitation in that it aggregates cash flows from investing and financing activities as determined under U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow:

Financing Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, our financing arrangements include our senior secured credit facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement, our senior secured notes and the obligations under our capital leases and other indebtedness. The following table summarizes our Net Debt position as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

(1)

As of September 30, 2018, the principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement was $1,393 million, which is netted for unamortized debt discount of $6 million and unamortized debt finance costs of $7 million.

(2)

As of December 31, 2017, the principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement was $2,154 million, which is netted for unamortized debt discount of $17 million and unamortized debt finance costs of $13 million.

(3)

As of September 30, 2018, the principal amount of senior secured notes outstanding was $745 million, which is netted for unamortized debt finance costs of $7 million.

(4)

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprised of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. 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. The 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In March 2018, Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into the 2018 Credit Agreement under which, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Borrower in the form of (a) initial secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,400 million maturing in March 2025, issued at a discount of 0.50%, which amortizes in quarterly installments, commencing August 31, 2018, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loans (which payments can be reduced as a result of prepayments in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement), with the balance payable at maturity and (b) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million maturing in September 2022. We used the net proceeds from these term loans, together with the proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes (discussed below) and cash on the balance sheet, to repay the outstanding balance remaining of the term loans under the 2014 Credit Agreement and pay the related transaction expenses and fees. Upon the repayment in full of the obligations, the 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated. We recorded the debt refinancing transaction as the issuance of new debt and extinguishment of prior debt and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $28 million in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we (i) repaid $8 million principal amount of term loans outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement, including a $4 million voluntary prepayment, (ii) repaid $6 million principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement, (iii) amortized $2 million of debt finance costs and $1 million of debt discount, (iv) repaid $28 million under our capital lease obligations and entered into new capital leases arrangements for information technology assets resulting in a $72 million increase in capital lease obligations and (v) repaid $3 million under our other indebtedness obligations.

We are not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of our term loans under the 2018 Credit Agreement until the first quarter of 2019. However, we have classified a portion of our term loans (along with the contractual quarterly installments) as current portion of long-term debt as we intend and are able to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flow from operations, which we expect 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.

Senior Secured Notes

In March 2018, Travelport Corporate Finance PLC (the “Issuer”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued a principal amount of $745 million in senior secured notes due in March 2026 with a stated interest rate of 6.00% per annum. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The interest on the senior secured notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2018.

Debt Covenants and Guarantees

Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l., our indirect 100% owned subsidiary, is the obligor (the “Obligor”) under the 2018 Credit Agreement. All obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, and, subject to certain

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 the 2018 Credit Agreement are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the senior secured notes contain various covenants, events of default and other provisions, including, under certain circumstances, a leverage ratio requirement under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

Our 2018 Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the senior secured notes limit 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;

•

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, 2018, our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as determined under the 2018 Credit Agreement, was 3.77 compared to the maximum allowable of 6.00. In addition, we were in compliance with the other covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement and Indenture.

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 under the 2018 Credit Agreement. 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.

Our primary interest rate exposure as of September 30, 2018 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 the $1,393 million principal amount of term loans under the 2018 Credit Agreement is currently charged at LIBOR plus 2.50%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, as of September 30, 2018, we have outstanding interest rate swap contracts that fix the LIBOR rate payable as follows:

Notional Amount ($ in thousands)	Period	Rate Average Interest
1,400,000	February 2017 to February 2019		1.4010%
1,200,000	February 2019 to February 2020		2.1906%
400,000	February 2020 to February 2021		2.1925%
200,000	February 2021 to February 2022		2.9913%

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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. Gains (losses) on these interest rate derivative financial instruments were $18 million and $(3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that arises from certain intercompany transactions, earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities.

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 2018, we used foreign currency derivative contracts (i.e. forward contracts) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of September 30, 2018, we had $439 million net notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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) gains on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $(19) million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018, our derivative contracts that hedge our interest rate and foreign currency exposure had a net asset position of $6 million and cover transactions for a period that does not exceed four years.

Contractual Obligations

Following our debt restructuring in March 2018, our contractual obligations related to the term loans have changed since December 31, 2017, and our contractual obligations also include obligations related to the senior secured notes we issued in March 2018. The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations related to our long-term debt as of September 30, 2018:

Interest on the term loans is based on the interest rate as of September 30, 2018 of LIBOR plus 2.50%, and interest on the senior secured notes is based on its stated rate of 6.00%. Interest payments also include an estimate of cash flows for interest rate swap contracts.

Other than as set forth above, as of September 30, 2018, 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, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.

Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

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, 2018. 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 modelled.

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. As of September 30, 2018, we have determined, through such analysis, that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, based on the outstanding floating rate debt balance, would increase or decrease our annualized interest charge by $14 million, excluding the effect of fair value changes on our interest rate swaps.

In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, we have entered into several interest rate swap derivative contracts. 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, 2018, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a credit or debit, respectively, to our interest expense of $23 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 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, 2018. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, that the impact of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar would result in a debit or credit, respectively, of $42 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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.

(a)

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

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Act) as of September 30, 2018.

(c)

Limitations on Controls. Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met.
