Exhibit 99.1
— Travelport Announces First Quarter 2010 Results —
NEW YORK, NY, May 6, 2010 — Travelport Limited, the parent company of the Travelport group of companies, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First Quarter 2010 Summary:
  •   Net Revenue of $581 million, a 5% increase over first quarter 2009
 
  •   Operating Income of $60 million, a 5% increase over first quarter 2009
 
  •   Adjusted EBITDA of $139 million, a 2% increase over first quarter 2009
Commenting on the performance for the period, Travelport CEO and President, Jeff Clarke, stated: “I am pleased with Travelport’s performance in the quarter. We made key strategic investments while delivering a 5% increase in net revenue and 9% growth in Adjusted EBITDA, on a constant currency basis, compared to the first quarter of 2009. Our transaction volumes continued the recovery that began in the final quarter of 2009, and despite recent travel disruptions caused by the volcanic ash cloud, we are on track to achieve our previous expectations for revenue and profits for the full year 2010.”

Net Revenue and Segment EBITDA for the GDS business were $536 million and $151 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010, representing a 5% increase in Net Revenue and a decrease of 1% in Segment EBITDA compared to the first quarter of 2009. Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our GDS business was $153 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 5% reduction as compared to the first quarter of 2009. Increased Net Revenue resulted from a 6% increase in segments as compared to the first quarter of 2009, a 1% increase in average revenue per segment and a $5 million reduction in Airline IT Solutions revenue. GDS direct costs, comprising agency commissions, increased $33 million, or 17%, as a result of the increase in segments, an increase in the average rate of agency commissions and unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. Operating expenses for GDS, excluding agency commissions, remained flat compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Net Revenue and Segment EBITDA for the GTA business were $45 million and $(2) million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010. Segment Adjusted EBITDA for GTA for the first quarter of 2010 was $(3) million, representing a $7 million improvement compared to the first quarter of 2009. Total Transaction Value (“TTV”) increased 19% in the quarter primarily due to 10% growth in the number of room nights and favorable exchange rate movements. Net Revenue increased 7% in the quarter due to the increase in TTV, partially offset by lower margin on sales. GTA direct costs, comprising transactions where GTA takes inventory risk, remained flat at $3 million. Operating expenses for GTA decreased $4 million, or 9%, compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to a reduction in bad debt expense.
Corporate
Travelport incurred adjusted corporate costs, which exclude the impact of certain non-recurring items, of $11 million for the first quarter of 2010, $4 million less than the first quarter of 2009.
During the quarter, Travelport used $27 million in cash for operations, an $18 million increase over the same period in 2009. This increase is attributable to fluctuations in our collection cycle and trading volumes. During the quarter, Travelport used $169 million for investment, including $50 million for newly-issued common shares of Orbitz Worldwide and $114 million in cash to fund fixed assets additions, including software and equipment acquired under a material modification to our agreement with IBM. The investments were funded in part through $100 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility.
Travelport’s net debt at March 31, 2010 was $3,596 million, which comprised debt of $3,703 million less $107 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Orbitz Worldwide
Travelport Limited currently owns approximately 48% of the outstanding equity of Orbitz Worldwide. Travelport accounts for its investment in Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting. During the first quarter of 2010, Travelport recorded $3 million in losses from its investment in Orbitz Worldwide.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. We believe this measure provides management with a more complete understanding of the underlying results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial liquidity and prospects for the future. 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. Adjusted EBITDA is disclosed so that investors have the same tools available to management when evaluating the results of Travelport. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is a defined term within our credit agreement and bond indentures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and intangibles 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, non-cash equity-based compensation, and other adjustments made to exclude expenses management views as outside the normal course of operations. 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.
Unlevered free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Unlevered free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operations adjusted to exclude cash interest payments and include capital expenditures, all of which are GAAP measures included within our Statement of Cash Flows. We believe unlevered free cash flow provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying liquidity of the core operating businesses and our ability to meet its current and future financing and investing needs.
