Commenting on the full year 2009 results, Travelport CEO and President, Jeff Clarke, stated: “Travelport delivered solid results in 2009 despite the difficult market environment for the travel industry. During the downturn, we increased our investment in key innovative products, including the Universal Desktop, and in core search and infrastructure capabilities. We will continue to invest heavily in these strategic areas in 2010. We’re pleased to have seen five consecutive months in travel transaction growth across our business from October 2009. Based on the market recovery and our scalable business model, we expect to grow revenues and profits for the full year 2010.”
     Philip Emery, Travelport CFO, stated: “Travelport continued to show the strength and resilience of its business model in 2009, by generating $239 million in net cash provided by operating activities, as well as $436 million of unlevered free cash flow, which was up from $326 million in 2008. This positions us very well for the expected recovery in travel in 2010 and enables us to continue to invest for growth.”

Q4 2009: Net Revenue and Segment EBITDA for the GTA business were $66 million and $16 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Segment Adjusted EBITDA for GTA for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $15 million, representing a $(5) million decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Global Total Transaction Value (“TTV”) increased 9% in the quarter primarily due to exchange rates that increased the effective average daily rate. Net Revenue declined (3)% in the quarter due to lower margin on sales. Direct costs decreased $(5) million during the quarter due to a decrease in transactions where GTA takes inventory risk. Operating expenses for GTA increased $8 million, or 19%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 driven by foreign exchange fluctuations offset by cost reductions.
FY 2009: Net Revenue and Segment EBITDA for the GTA business were $267 million and $(776) million, respectively, for the full year 2009. Segment Adjusted EBITDA for GTA for the full year of 2009 was $59 million, representing a $(51) million decline compared to 2008. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes the $833 million impairment charge on the GTA goodwill and intangible assets recorded during the third quarter of 2009. Global Total Transaction Value (“TTV”) decreased (16)% in the full year primarily due to a (12)% decrease in room nights and a (4)% decrease in average daily rate. Net Revenue declined (25)% for the year due to the decrease in TTV, lower margins on sales and unfavourable exchange rate movements. Direct costs decreased $(20) million during the year due to a decrease in transactions where GTA takes inventory risk. Operating expenses for GTA decreased $(18) million, or (8)%, compared to the full year 2008 primarily as a result of cost reduction actions, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense and adverse foreign exchange fluctuations.
Corporate

Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric for; measuring our business results, forecasting and determining future capital investment allocations and is used by the Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation. Capital expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense, are reviewed separately by management. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before income taxes and equity in losses of investment in Orbitz Worldwide before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted to exclude items we believe distort our ability to assess the results of our underlying business. During the periods presented, these primarily relate to the impact of purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, expenses incurred in conjunction with Travelport’s separation from Cendant, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate Travelport’s portfolio of businesses, costs associated with Travelport’s restructuring efforts and development of a global on-line travel platform and non-cash equity-based compensation. We believe these measures we have presented provide a more complete understanding of the underlying results and trends of our business given the number of changes the business has undergone in the past three years. In addition, the Adjusted EBITDA measure is a defined term within our credit agreement and bond indentures. Adjusted EBITDA is a critical measure as it is required to calculate our key financial ratio under our credit agreement covenants. This ratio compares our Adjusted EBITDA on a full-year basis, including the impact of cost savings and synergies, to our consolidated net debt and is known as our Leverage Ratio. We are currently in compliance with our Leverage Ratio. A breach of this covenant could result in a default under the senior secured credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes.
We define unlevered free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted to remove the impact of interest payments and to deduct capital expenditures on property and equipment additions. We monitor our unlevered free cash flow as we believe this measure reflects our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We have included unlevered free cash flow as we believe it provides investors a better understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash.

Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and unlevered cash flow are not necessarily comparable to similar measures used by other companies and therefore should not be considered a substitute for operating profit and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with US GAAP.
