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 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
1

in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2017, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2017, 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.

TRAVELPORT WORLDWIDE LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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, Travelport’s business is comprised of:
The Travel Commerce Platform, through which the Company facilitates travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers, such as airlines and hotel chains, with online and offline travel buyers in the Company’s proprietary business-to-business (“B2B”) travel commerce platform. As travel industry needs evolve, Travelport is utilizing its Travel Commerce Platform to redefine the electronic distribution and merchandising of airline core and ancillary products, as well as extending its reach into the growing world of travel commerce beyond air, including to hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. In addition, Travelport has leveraged its domain expertise in the travel industry to design a pioneering B2B payment solution that addresses the need of travel agencies to efficiently and securely make payments to travel providers globally. The Company also provides travel companies with a mobile travel platform and digital product set that allows airlines, hotels, corporate travel management companies and travel agencies to engage with their customers through digital services including apps, mobile web and mobile messaging. Travelport utilizes the extensive data managed by its platform to provide an array of additional services, such as advertising solutions, subscription services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.
Through its Technology Services, Travelport provides critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other solutions, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. The Company hosts reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc.
The Company has two operating segments, Travelport and eNett; however, the Company reports them together as one reportable segment as eNett does not meet the thresholds for a separate reportable segment.
These consolidated condensed financial statements and other consolidated condensed financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, with the exception of the December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (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, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $367 million, which expire between 2032 and 2036, state NOL carry forwards of approximately $14 million, which expire between 2017 and 2036, and other tax credits of approximately $25 million. The deferred tax assets on these U.S. federal and state NOLs and other tax credits were $168 million. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against these U.S. NOLs and other tax credits as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from these NOL carry forwards and tax credits will not be realized.

1. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate includes the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with current year U.S. ordinary income. However, the Company has maintained a full 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 benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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 would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The amendments under this guidance are applicable to the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for public companies, including adoption in any interim period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
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 Company to present the service cost component of net benefit cost 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 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 a company to disclose in the footnotes to the financial statements the line items that contain the other components of net benefit cost, if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines in the statement of operations. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using a retrospective transition method (except for capitalization of service cost, which has to be applied on a prospective basis). The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
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. A goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The new guidance is applicable to the Company 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 does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

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. It also requires a reconciliation between the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
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 new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the guidance on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses based on its estimate of expected credit losses, which will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance requires an entity to consider all available relevant information when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts and their implications for expected credit losses. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Compensation—Equity-Based Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplified several areas of employee equity-based compensation accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements and classifications within the statement of cash flows. More significantly, the new guidance eliminated the need to track tax windfalls in a separate pool within additional paid-in capital; instead, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are to be recorded within income tax expense. The new guidance also gives entities the ability to elect whether to estimate forfeitures or account for them as they occur. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017. Adoption of the requirements within this guidance related to excess tax benefits, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements and classifications within the statement of cash flows did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. The recognition of a $10 million deferred tax asset as of January 1, 2017 related to an unrecognized excess tax benefit was fully offset by a valuation allowance recorded as it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

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 income statement. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption of the amendments in the guidance is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company’s minimum lease commitments for operating leases as of June 30, 2017 was $99 million.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new revenue guidance issued in May 2014 by one year but allowed companies a choice to adopt the guidance as of the original effective date that was set out in May 2014. The Company has decided to adopt the guidance beginning January 1, 2018, being the date adoption is required pursuant to this guidance.
The guidance permits the use of either a full or modified retrospective adoption approach. The Company expects to adopt the guidance using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or accumulated losses) as of January 1, 2018. The guidance also permits the application of the modified retrospective approach to either all contracts as of the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed as of this date. The Company expects to apply the modified retrospective approach only to contracts that are not completed as of January 1, 2018. However, the Company will include additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.
Beginning in the second half of 2016, the Company began Phase I of its three-phase plan to complete its adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance. Phase I included activities such as a high-level review and analysis of significant revenue streams (and related costs) that may be impacted by the new guidance, determination of the expected transition method, determination of portfolio of contracts for significant revenue streams, identification of representative contracts from each portfolio to carry out a detailed analysis and detailed review of representative contracts from significant revenue streams and its related costs to determine the potential changes to the Company’s existing accounting policies.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Phase II determines the impact of the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance and includes activities such as, validating and concluding on potential accounting implications of new guidance identified from Phase I, quantifying the effects that the new revenue recognition guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, identifying and documenting changes to its accounting policies, drafting the expanded disclosures as required by the new revenue recognition guidance, and identifying and addressing the impact the new revenue recognition guidance will have on the Company’s business processes, systems and internal controls to support the recognition and disclosure requirements.
Phase III will complete the Company’s adoption and implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance and will include activities such as recording the accounting adjustments that were identified in Phase II, evaluating and testing modified and/or newly implemented internal controls over new revenue recognition guidance, running parallel reporting for impacted areas under the new and current revenue standard, and revising the Company’s financial statements disclosures.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the full impact of the new revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has substantially completed Phase I with the results being compiled and is in the process of carrying out Phase II activities, including the identification of potential changes resulting from adoption of this guidance and determining the effects of the accounting policies under new guidance that the Company expects to apply in comparison to its current revenue recognition policies. Certain potential changes that may result on adoption of this guidance, and impact thereof, are still being determined and include items such as:

The timing of recognition and presentation for certain revenue streams;

The capitalization of certain costs that are part of setting up a customer on the Company’s platforms and certain customer acquisition costs that meet the definition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract, both of which are currently recognized as an expense when incurred; and

The accrual or deferral of revenue for certain customer contractual arrangements that include variable consideration based on volumes or other specified criteria.

7. Restructuring Charges
In November 2016, the Company committed to undertake a course of action (the “Program”) to enhance and optimize the Company’s operational and technological efficiency. The Program involves (i) consolidating the multiple technological vendors with which the Company currently works, (ii) establishing a new centralized quality assurance function and (iii) consolidating the Company’s three existing U.S. technology hubs in Atlanta, Denver and Kansas City into two centers in Atlanta and Denver. These actions are expected to contribute to the achievement of the Company’s long-term targets. The Program is expected to be completed by mid-2018.
The Company expects total charges under the Program in connection with severance and employee-related obligations to be approximately $14 million to $16 million and costs related to implementation to be approximately $13 million to $15 million, including approximately $1 million for the termination of operating lease and other contracts. The Company expects the obligations related to these costs to be paid in cash which will be funded from operations.
Severance and employee-related costs were recorded based on the Program developed by the business and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid for involuntary terminations under existing severance plans or as a one-time arrangement and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring costs and benefits were made based on information available at the time the charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded, and the Company may need to revise previous estimates.
The following table summarizes the activities related to the Company’s restructuring liability during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

As of December 31, 2016, the interest rates on the term loans and revolver borrowings were LIBOR plus 4.00% and LIBOR plus 5.00%, respectively.
The Company is not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the term loans until the third quarter of 2019. However, the Company has classified a portion of the term loans as a current portion of long-term debt as the Company intends and is able to make additional voluntary prepayments of
17

9. Long-Term Debt (Continued)
the term loans from cash flows 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.
In January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit agreement, which (i) amended the applicable rates to 2.25% per annum, in the case of base rate term loans, and 3.25% per annum, in the case of LIBOR term loans and (ii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the senior secured credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at the election of the Company, (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 2.25%. The term loans are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and a base rate floor of 2.00%. The Company expects to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 3.25% for the term loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average LIBOR rate applied to the term loans was 1.07%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company (i) repaid $12 million of term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, (ii) amortized $3 million of debt finance costs and $2 million of debt discount and (iii) repaid $19 million under its capital lease obligations and other indebtedness and entered into $12 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.
Under the senior secured credit agreement, the Company has a $125 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of  $50 million. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and utilized $8 million for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of  $117 million remaining. In May 2017, the applicable rate on revolving credit facility reduced from 5.00% to 4.75%, resulting from improved financial covenants maintained by the Company under its senior secured credit agreement.
The senior secured credit agreement also permits the issuance of certain cash collateralized letters of credit, in addition to those that can be issued under the revolving credit facility, whereby 103% of cash collateral is to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2017, there were no outstanding cash collateralized letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants related to its long-term debt.
On July 31, 2017 and August 2, 2017, the Company entered into amendments to its senior secured credit agreement (see Note 15—Subsequent Events).
10. 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no material change in the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies or in its fair value methodology. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a net liability position of $2 million related to derivative financial instruments associated with its interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The Company’s primary interest rate risk exposure as of June 30, 2017 was the impact of LIBOR interest rates on the Company’s dollar denominated variable rate term loans. The term loans have a 1.00% LIBOR floor under the Company’s senior secured credit agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, LIBOR rates increased above the LIBOR floor of 1.00%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, in October 2015, the Company transacted $1,400 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts covering a period from February 2017 to February 2019.

10. Financial Instruments (Continued)
Further, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company transacted $1,200 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts commencing February 2019 until February 2020. These swaps fix the LIBOR rate payable on approximately 60% of the Company’s floating rate debt during these periods at average rates of 1.4010% and 2.1906%, respectively.
The Company’s primary foreign currency risk exposure as of June 30, 2017 was to exchange rate fluctuations that arise from certain intercompany transactions and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.

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:

Level 2
(2,330,213) (2,371,511) (2,344,768) (2,402,783)
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 approximately 9% and a recovery rate of 75% for derivative assets and 65% for derivative liabilities. In accordance with the Company’s policy, as the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives has not been greater than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivative instruments for two consecutive quarters, the Company has categorized derivative fair valuations at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. A 10% change in the significant unobservable inputs will not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2017.
The fair value of the Company’s total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of its term loans based on quoted prices obtained from independent brokers for identical debt instruments when traded as an asset and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments to purchase goods and services from specific suppliers, including those related to capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $92 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $41 million relates to the twelve months ending June 30, 2018. These purchase obligations extend through 2019.

11. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
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 or sales of debt or equity securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees of the Company’s trademarks, (iv) financial institutions in derivative contracts, and (v) underwriters in debt or equity security issuances or sales. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees, as the triggering events are not subject to predictability and there is little or no history of claims against the Company under such arrangements. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.
12. Equity
Sale of Shares of a Subsidiary
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.
Purchase of Non-Controlling Interest in a Subsidiary
In May 2017, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding non-controlling interest in Locomote Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Locomote”), bringing its total ownership in Locomote to 100%, for a total consideration of  $1 million. The excess of the carrying value of the non-controlling interest acquired over the consideration paid by the Company is recorded within additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet, and the cash payment is presented as a financing activity in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flow.

On August 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of  $0.075 per common share (see Note 15—Subsequent Events).
13. Equity-Based Compensation
As discussed in Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of a new guidance on equity-based compensation accounting which simplified its several areas of accounting, including income taxes, forfeitures, minimum statutory withholding requirements and classifications within the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. The recognition of a $10 million deferred tax asset as of January 1, 2017 related to an unrecognized excess tax benefit was fully offset by a valuation allowance recorded as it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted 778,667 RSUs, including 691,502 RSUs as part of its annual grant program. The RSUs vest one-fourth annually over a period of four years, if the employee continues to remain in employment 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. In line with the Company’s accounting policy, the compensation costs related to RSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company completed net share settlements of 155,603 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 50,541 of the vested RSUs, certain directors of the Company elected to defer receiving common shares until termination of their service as a director of the Company.

13. Equity-Based Compensation (Continued)
Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted 1,714,407 PSUs, including 1,593,814 PSUs as part of its annual grant program. 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. 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, and such fair value is expensed over the vesting period of the approximately three-year performance period on a straight-line basis.

These common shares were accounted for as treasury shares by the Company.

Total estimated awards that will ultimately vest based on the Company’s forecasted performance against the pre-defined targets is expected to be 4,222,933 PSUs.

The total income tax benefit related to equity-based compensation expense was $1 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company expects the future equity-based compensation expense in relation to awards recognized for accounting purposes as being granted as of June 30, 2017 will be approximately $59 million.

As the Company recorded net loss from continuing operations for the period, all common share equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
Basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common share equivalents during each period.
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had 2.4 million of weighted average common share equivalents, primarily associated with the Company’s stock options, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had 2.3 million and 1.8 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 (loss) 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.

Dividends
On August 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of  $0.075 per common share for the second quarter of 2017, which is payable on September 21, 2017 to shareholders of record on September 7, 2017.
Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit agreement that, among other things, (i) amended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to September 2, 2022 (provided that such maturity date automatically converts to March 2, 2021 unless the then outstanding term loans have a maturity date on or after December 2, 2022) and (ii) increased the revolving credit facility by $25 million to $150 million.
On August 2, 2017, the Company entered into a further amendment to its senior secured credit agreement that (i) amended the applicable rates to 1.75% per annum, in the case of base rate term loans, and 2.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR term loans, (ii) reduced the base rate floor to 1.00% from 2.00% and the LIBOR floor to 0.00% from 1.00% and (iii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the senior secured credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at the Company’s election, (i) LIBOR plus 2.75% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 1.75%. The Company expects to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 2.75% for the term loans.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 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 and hotel chains, with online and offline travel agencies and other travel buyers in our proprietary business-to-business (“B2B”) travel commerce platform (our Travel Commerce Platform). In 2016, we processed approximately $79 billion of travel spending. Since 2012, we have strategically invested in products with a focus on redefining our Travel Commerce Platform to address the trends, inefficiencies and unmet needs of all components of the travel value chain.
We have one reporting segment, and we further classify revenue according to its source as either Travel Commerce Platform revenue (comprised of Air and Beyond Air) or Technology Services revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Air, Beyond Air and Technology Services represented 71%, 24% and 5%, respectively, of our net revenue.
Travel Commerce Platform
Our Travel Commerce Platform combines state-of-the-art technology with features, functionality and innovative solutions to address the high-volume and growing transaction processing requirements for the evolving needs of the travel industry.
Air
We provide comprehensive real-time search, pricing, booking, change, payment and integrated itinerary creation for travelers who use the services of online and offline travel agencies for both leisure and business travel. We provide such services to approximately 400 airlines globally, including approximately 120 low cost carriers (“LCCs”). Our access to business travelers, merchandising capabilities and ability to process complex itineraries have attracted and allowed for the full integration of several fast-growing LCCs such as 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, eNett generated net revenue of $85 million, representing an approximately 19% increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.
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.
27

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 approximately 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 solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other services, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. We also host reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc. In addition, until April 2017, we owned 51% of IGT Solutions Private Ltd. (“IGTS”), a technology development services provider based in Gurgaon, India that was used for both internal and external software development. We divested our 51% interest in IGTS in April 2017, and we no longer own any shares in, and/or control, IGTS following the sale.
Management Performance Metrics
Our management team monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives. We assess our performance using both financial and non-financial measures. As a Travel Commerce Platform, we measure performance primarily on the basis of changes in both Reported Segments and RevPas. Travel Commerce Platform RevPas is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments. Travel Commerce Platform revenue is generated from a wide portfolio of products and services, including traditional air bookings, ancillaries, hospitality, payment solutions, 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.

(1)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest expense, net (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments) and related income taxes.
(2)
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments.
(3)
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as gain (loss) on sale of 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.
(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. These metrics are also used by our Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods. Management believes the adjusted financial measures assist investors in the comparison of financial results between periods as such measures exclude certain items that management believes are not reflective of our core operating performance consistent with how management reviews the business.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—diluted, Adjusted Operating Income (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.

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

Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Geographic Mix: Our geographically dispersed footprint helps insulate us from particular country or regional instability, allows for optimal information technology efficiency and enhances our value proposition to travel providers. We are well positioned to capture higher value business from travel providers operating in away markets, which results in higher per transaction revenue for both us and the travel providers we serve. The table below sets forth revenue by region percentages for our Travel Commerce Platform for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

We expect some of the regions in which we currently operate, such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, to experience growth in travel that is greater than the global average due to factors such as economic growth and a growing middle class, while more mature regions, such as the United States, remain stable. As these emerging travel regions may grow at a higher rate than mature regions, the geographic distribution of our revenue may similarly shift.
Customer Mix: We believe our customer mix is broadly diversified, supporting our stable and recurring business model with high revenue visibility. We provide air distribution services to approximately 400 airlines globally, including approximately 120 LCCs. In addition, we serve numerous Beyond Air travel providers, including approximately 650,000 hotel properties (of which over 500,000 are independent hotel
31

properties), over 37,000 car rental locations, approximately 45 cruise-line and tour operators and 14 major rail networks worldwide. We aggregate travel content across approximately 68,000 travel agency locations representing approximately 234,000 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 six months ended June 30, 2017.
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.

The value of the transactions processed on our Travel Commerce Platform increased to $21.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $20.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in the value and volume in payment solutions. Our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings increased to 67% from 66%. Our hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued increased to 49 from 48. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our car rental days sold grew by 19% to 29 million, and our hotel room nights remained stable at 17 million.

International
Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased $9 million, or 2%, due to a 3% increase in RevPas, offset by a 1% decrease in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was a result of growth in our Air and Beyond Air offerings. The increase in Air revenue was mainly due to improved pricing and mix. The increase in Beyond Air revenue was primarily driven by growth in payment solutions, hospitality and advertising and digital services. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 73% for each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Asia Pacific
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased $11 million, or 9%, due to a 4% increase in RevPas and a 4% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments increased primarily due to growth in India, Australia and Hong Kong partially offset by a decline in South Korea.
Europe
Revenue in Europe decreased $2 million, or 1%, due to a 3% decrease in Reported Segments offset by a 2% increase in RevPas. Reported Segments decreased mainly due to a decline in the United Kingdom offset by growth in Russia. RevPas increased due to favorable pricing and mix.

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

Cost of revenue decreased by $7 million, or 2%, as a result of a $3 million, or 1%, decrease in commission costs and a $4 million, or 4%, decrease in technology costs. The decrease in commissions was due to a 3% decline in travel distribution costs per segment, including the positive impact of an $11 million allowance for a prepaid incentive related to a long-term contract with a travel agent recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2016, offset by incremental commission costs due to mix and pricing and incremental costs from our payment solutions business. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of  $17 million and $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services decreased primarily due to the sale of IGTS in April 2017.

SG&A expenses decreased by $24 million, or 18%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016. SG&A expenses include $1 million and $31 million of charges for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $6 million, or 6%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel,
35

increased by $5 million, or 6%, primarily due to an increase in headcount and merit increases, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange movement. Non-workforce expenses, which include the costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, increased marginally by $1 million, or 6%.
Non-core corporate costs of  $1 million and $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 decrease of  $30 million is primarily due to a $25 million favorable movement in the fair value of unrealized foreign currency derivative contracts and a $4 million positive impact resulting from an impairment on property and equipment recognized in 2016.

Total depreciation and amortization

Total depreciation and amortization increased by $1 million, or 3%. Depreciation increased by $5 million, or 13%, due to additional assets being depreciated upon their transfer from construction in progress to capitalized software. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased by $4 million, or 26%, as the useful lives expired on a portion of the assets acquired on the sale of Travelport to Blackstone in 2006 and the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased $12 million, or 27%, primarily due to (i) a $6 million decrease related to lower interest rates on the term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement, (ii) a $2 million decrease related to our reduced outstanding debt balance and (iii) a $2 million favorable impact of fair value changes on our interest rate swap derivative contracts.
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 have recorded a gain on the sale of such subsidiary of  $1 million.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In June 2016, we amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the interest rates on our term loans by 75 basis points. In connection with this amendment, certain lenders under the credit agreement were repaid partially or in full, resulting in a $3 million 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 a number of items such as (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance continued to be maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., due to the historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction in the relevant jurisdictions and (iv) certain income or gains which are not subject to tax.
As of December 31, 2016, we had U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $367 million, which expire between 2032 and 2036, state NOL carry forwards of approximately $14 million, which expire between 2017 and 2036, and other tax credits of approximately $25
36

million. The deferred tax assets on these U.S. federal and state NOLs and other tax credits were $168 million. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against these U.S. NOLs and other tax credits as we believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from these NOL carry forwards and tax credits will not be realized.
We regularly assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2017, our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with current year U.S. ordinary income. However, we have maintained a full 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 benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.

International
Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased $50 million, or 6%, due to a 4% increase in RevPas and a 2% increase in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was a result of growth in our Air and Beyond Air offerings. The increase in Air revenue was mainly due to improved pricing and
38

the $9 million recognition of revenue deferred in previous years, partially offset by a decline due to mix. The increase in Beyond Air revenue was primarily driven by growth in payment solutions, hospitality and advertising and digital services. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 74% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Asia Pacific
Revenue in Asia Pacific increased $34 million, or 13%, due to a 4% increase in RevPas and a 9% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments increased primarily due to growth in India, Australia and Hong Kong.
Europe
Revenue in Europe increased $5 million, or 1%, primarily due to a 2% increase in RevPas offset by a 1% decrease in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments decreased mainly due to a decline in the United Kingdom, offset by growth in Russia, France and Finland.
Latin America and Canada
Revenue in Latin America and Canada remained stable.
Middle East and Africa
Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased $11 million, or 7%, due to an 11% increase in RevPas offset by a 4% decrease in Reported Segments. The increase in RevPas was mainly due to a $9 million recognition of revenue deferred in previous years.
United States
Revenue in the United States increased $3 million, or 1%, primarily due to a 1% increase in Reported Segments.
Technology Services
Technology Services revenue decreased $5 million, or 8%, primarily due to the sale of IGTS in April 2017.

Cost of revenue increased by $17 million, or 2%, as a result of a $17 million, or 3%, increase in commission costs. Commissions increased due to a 2% increase in Reported Segments and incremental commission costs from our payment solutions business, offset by a 1% decrease in travel distribution costs per segment. The decrease in travel distribution costs per segment was due to our acquisition of our distributor in Japan and a positive impact of an $11 million allowance for a prepaid incentive related to a long-term contract with a travel agent recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, offset by an
39

increase in travel distribution costs per segment related to mix and pricing. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of  $34 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services remained stable.

SG&A expenses decreased by $27 million, or 11%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016. SG&A expenses include $6 million and $37 million of charges for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $4 million, or 2%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel, increased by $6 million, or 3%, primarily due to an increase in headcount and merit increases, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange movement. Non-workforce expenses, which include the costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased by $2 million, or 5%, primarily due to lower realized foreign exchange losses.
Non-core corporate costs of $6 million and $37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 decrease of  $30 million is primarily due to a $22 million favorable movement in the fair value of unrealized foreign currency derivative contracts, a $4 million decrease in corporate and restructuring costs and a $3 million decrease in impairment on property and equipment.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased by $4 million, or 17%, as the useful lives expired on a portion of the assets acquired on the sale of Travelport to Blackstone in 2006 and the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased $37 million, or 37%, primarily due to (i) a $19 million favorable impact of fair value changes on our interest rate swaps, (ii) a $13 million decrease related to lower interest rates on
40

the term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement and (iii) a $3 million decrease related to our reduced outstanding debt balance.
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 have recorded a gain on the sale of such subsidiary of  $1 million.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In June 2016, we amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the interest rates on our term loans by 75 basis points. In connection with this amendment, certain lenders under the credit agreement were repaid partially or in full, resulting in a $3 million 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 a number of items such as (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance continued to be maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., due to the historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction in the relevant jurisdictions and (iv) certain income or gains which are not subject to tax.
As of December 31, 2016, we had U.S. federal NOL carry forwards of approximately $367 million, which expire between 2032 and 2036, state NOL carry forwards of approximately $14 million, which expire between 2017 and 2036, and other tax credits of approximately $25 million. The deferred tax assets on these U.S. federal and state NOLs and other tax credits were $168 million. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against these U.S. NOLs and other tax credits as we believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from these NOL carry forwards and tax credits will not be realized.
We regularly assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2017, our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with current year U.S. ordinary income. However, we have maintained a full 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 benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) cash flows generated from operations and (iii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability were as follows:

With the cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated condensed balance sheet, our ability to generate cash from operations and access to our revolving credit facility and other lending sources, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs for at least the next 12 months.
Working Capital
Our cash flows from operations are significantly impacted by revenue derived from, and commissions paid to, travel providers and travel agencies and consists 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.

As of June 30, 2017, we had a working capital net liability of   $52 million, compared to $159 million as of December 31, 2016, a decrease of  $107 million, which is primarily due to a $36 million increase in accounts receivable, net, a $77 million increase in cash and cash equivalents as discussed in “—Cash Flows” below, an $18 million decrease in accounts payable and employee related liabilities and a $19 million increase in other assets (liabilities), net, partially offset by a $41 million increase in accrued commissions and incentives and a $5 million decrease in taxes.
As our business grows and our revenue and corresponding commissions and incentive expenses increase, our receivables and accruals increase.

Substantially all of our Air revenue within our Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses. ACH requires participants to deposit certain balances into their demand deposit accounts by certain deadlines, which facilitates a timely settlement process. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Air revenue accounted for approximately 71% of our revenue; however, only 46% of our outstanding receivables related to customers using ACH as of June 30, 2017. The ACH receivables are collected on average in 31 days. Beyond Air revenue is generally not collected through the ACH process and takes longer to collect. Our average net collection period for total accounts receivable, net, was 38 DSO as of June 30, 2017, as compared to 39 DSO as of December 31, 2016. The growth in Air revenue, in the month of June 2017 compared to December 2016, 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 $36 million from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, and our accrued commissions and incentives increased by $41 million from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, 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.

As of June 30, 2017, we had $217 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of  $77 million compared to December 31, 2016. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $179 million compared to $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $76 million is primarily a result of the increase in operating income, the positive impact from fluctuations in working capital, lower customer loyalty payments and lower cash interest payments.
Investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash used in investing activities of  $50 million was primarily due to $47 million cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and a $3 million net cash outflow related to the sale of IGTS. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities of  $60 million was primarily due to $45 million cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and $15 million net cash consideration paid for a business acquisition of our distributor in Japan.
Our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include:

Cash additions to computer equipment and other
11,615 8,533
Total $ 46,829 $ 44,985
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, the development of our Travelport Universal API that underpins our new and existing applications, the development of Smartpoint, our innovative booking solution delivering multisource content and pricing, and the development of our Travelport Merchandising Platform to allow airlines to showcase their content in travel agency workflows.
Cash additions to computer equipment are primarily for our continuing investment in our data center.
Our Capital Expenditures for the period, which we view to include cash additions to our property and equipment and repayment of capital lease and other indebtedness, was $66 million and $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $53 million, which primarily consisted of  (i) $19 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments, (ii) $19 million in dividend payments to shareholders and (iii) $12 million of term loans repayments. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $71 million, which consisted of
43

(i) $24 million of capital lease and other indebtedness repayments, (ii) $19 million in dividend payments to shareholders, (iii) $12 million of term loans net repayments, (iv) an $8 million purchase of non-controlling interest in Locomote and (v) an $8 million payment to lenders on repricing and debt finance costs.
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.

As of December 31, 2016, the interest rates on the term loans and revolver borrowings were LIBOR plus 4.00% and LIBOR plus 5.00%, respectively.
(4)
Net Debt is defined as total debt comprised of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is not a measurement of our indebtedness under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as 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.
We are not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the term loans until the third quarter of 2019. However, we have classified a portion of the term loans as a current portion of long-term debt as we intend and are able to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flows 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.
In January 2017, we entered into an amendment of our senior secured credit agreement, which (i) amended the applicable rates to 2.25% per annum, in the case of base rate term loans, and 3.25% per annum, in the case of LIBOR term loans and (ii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the senior secured credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at our election, (i) LIBOR plus 3.25% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 2.25%. The term loans are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and a base rate floor of 2.00%. We expect to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 3.25% for the term loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average LIBOR rate applied to the term loans was 1.07%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we (i) repaid $12 million of term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit agreement, (ii) amortized $3 million of debt finance costs and $2 million of debt discount and (iii) repaid $19 million under our capital lease obligations and other indebtedness and entered into $12 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.
Under our senior secured credit agreement, we have a $125 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of  $50 million. As of June 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and utilized $8 million for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of  $117 million remaining. In May 2017, the applicable rate on revolving credit facility reduced from 5.00% to 4.75%, resulting from improved financial covenants maintained by the Company under its senior secured credit agreement.
The senior secured credit agreement also permits the issuance of certain cash collateralized letters of credit, in addition to those that can be issued under the revolving credit facility, whereby 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2017, there were no outstanding cash collateralized letters of credit.
Substantially all of our debt is scheduled for repayment in September 2021.
On July 31, 2017, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement that, among other things, (i) amended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to September 2, 2022 (provided that such maturity date automatically converts to March 2, 2021 unless the then outstanding term loans have a maturity date on or after December 2, 2022) and (ii) increased the revolving credit facility by $25 million to $150 million.
45

On August 2, 2017, we entered into a further amendment to our senior secured credit agreement that (i) amended the applicable rates to 1.75% per annum, in the case of base rate term loans, and 2.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR term loans, (ii) reduced the base rate floor to 1.00% from 2.00% and the LIBOR floor to 0.00% from 1.00% and (iii) reset the 1% premium on the repricing of the term loans under the senior secured credit agreement for a period of six months. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at our election, (i) LIBOR plus 2.75% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 1.75%. We expect to pay interest based on LIBOR plus 2.75% for the term loans.
Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l., our indirect 100% owned subsidiary, is the obligor (the “Obligor”) under our senior secured credit agreement. All obligations under our senior secured credit agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future domestic wholly owned subsidiaries. All obligations under our secured debt, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all the following assets of the Obligor and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock and intercompany indebtedness of the Obligor and each guarantor; (ii) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock and intercompany indebtedness of certain other subsidiaries directly owned by the Obligor or any other guarantor subject to certain exceptions and limitations; and (iii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Obligor and each U.S. guarantor subject to additional collateral and guarantee obligations.
Borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements, and our senior secured credit agreement contains various covenants, including a leverage ratio, events of default and other provisions.
Our senior secured credit agreement limits certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to:

incur additional indebtedness;

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

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 June 30, 2017, our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as determined under our senior secured credit agreement, was 3.72 compared to the maximum allowable of 6.00, and we were in compliance with such other covenants under our senior secured credit agreement.
We re-evaluate our capital structure from time to time including, but not limited to, refinancing our current indebtedness with other indebtedness which may have different interest rates, maturities and covenants.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our floating rate debt. We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Our primary interest rate exposure as of June 30, 2017 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically the impact of LIBOR interest rates on our dollar denominated floating rate debt. Interest on our $2,266 million principal amount of term loans is currently charged at LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% under our senior secured credit agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, LIBOR rates increased above LIBOR floor of 1.00%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, in October 2015, we transacted $1,400 million
46

notional amount of interest rate swap contracts covering a period from February 2017 to February 2019. Further, during the first quarter of 2017, we transacted $1,200 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts commencing February 2019 until February 2020. These swaps fix the LIBOR rate payable on approximately 60% of our floating rate debt during these future periods at average rates of 1.4010% and 2.1906%, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate exposure were designated as accounting hedges. The fluctuations in the fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded as a component of interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Losses on these interest rate derivative financial instruments were $5 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that arises from certain intercompany transactions and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.
We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
During 2017, we used foreign currency derivative contracts (i.e. forward contracts) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of June 30, 2017, we had $296 million notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. Gains (losses) on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $11 million and $(13) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 June 30, 2017, our derivative contracts which hedge our interest rate and foreign currency exposure had a net liability position of $2 million and cover transactions for a period that does not exceed three years.
Contractual Obligations
In January 2017, we amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the applicable rate on our term loans from 4.00% as of December 31, 2016 to 3.25%. In August 2017, we further amended our senior secured credit agreement under which we reduced the applicable rate on our term loans from 3.25% to 2.75%. These transactions are expected to lower our annualized interest expense by approximately $28 million based on LIBOR rates and the principal balance of term loans outstanding as of June 30, 2016.
Other than as set forth above, as of June 30, 2017, 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, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2017. 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. We have determined, through such analysis, that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of June 30, 2017, based on the outstanding floating rate debt balance would increase our annualized interest charge by $23 million, excluding the effect of fair value changes on our interest rate swaps. Due to the 1.00% LIBOR floor on our term loans, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates as of June 30, 2017 would decrease our annualized interest charge by $7 million.
In 2015, in order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR interest rates, we transacted $1,400 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts for a period from February 2017 to February 2019. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2017, we transacted $1,200 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts commencing February 2019 until February 2020. These swaps fix the LIBOR rate payable on approximately 60% of our floating rate debt during these future periods at 1.4010% and 2.1906%, respectively. 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 June 30, 2017, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a credit or debit to interest expense of  $36 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 June 30, 2017. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, the impact of a 10% strengthening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar would result in a charge of approximately $24 million on our consolidated condensed statements of operations, while a 10% weakening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the same currencies would result in a credit of $26 million on our consolidated condensed statements of operations.
There were no material changes to our market risks as previously disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks” included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.
