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” or “us” means Travelport Limited, a Bermuda company, and its subsidiaries.
 
The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:
 
  •     factors affecting the level of travel activity, particularly air travel volume, including security concerns, general economic conditions, natural disasters and other disruptions;
 
  •     the impact outstanding indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business;
 
  •     our ability to obtain travel supplier inventory from travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines and other travel suppliers;
 
  •     our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and tour operators 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 suppliers and generate new revenue streams, including our new universal desktop product;
 
  •     the impact on supplier capacity and inventory resulting from consolidation of the airline industry;
 
  •     our ability to grow adjacencies, such as our recent acquisition of Sprice and our controlling interest in eNett;
 
  •     general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies;
 
  •     pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry;
 
  •     risks associated with doing business in multiple countries and in multiple currencies;
 
  •     our ability to achieve expected cost savings from our efforts to improve operational efficiency;
 
  •     maintenance and protection of our information technology and intellectual property; and
 
  •     financing plans and access to adequate capital on favorable terms.
 
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur.
 
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. The factors listed in the sections captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010, 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.

TRAVELPORT LIMITED
 
 
 
1.  Basis of Presentation
 
Travelport Limited (the “Company” or “Travelport”) is a broad-based business services company and a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions to companies operating in the global travel industry. Travelport is comprised of the global distribution system (“GDS”) business that includes the Worldspan and Galileo brands and Airline IT Solutions, which hosts mission critical applications and provides business and data analysis solutions for major airlines, and Gullivers Travel Associates (“GTA”), a leading global, multi-channel provider of hotel and ground services. The Company also owns approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., a leading global online travel company. The Company has approximately 5,400 employees and operates in 160 countries. Travelport is a closely held company owned by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”), Technology Crossover Ventures (“TCV”), One Equity Partners (“OEP”) and Travelport management.
 
These financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
The December 31, 2009 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make 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 Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim results. 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010.
 
2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to new disclosures about fair value measurements and clarification on certain existing disclosure requirements. This guidance requires new disclosures on significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories of fair value measurements. This guidance also clarifies existing requirements on (i) the level of disaggregation in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for fair value measurement disclosures, and (ii) disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance, except for the new disclosures around the activity in Level 3 categories of fair value measurements which will be adopted on January 1, 2011, as required. There was no material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. This guidance clarifies the scope of the requirements surrounding the decrease in ownership of a subsidiary and expands the disclosure requirements for deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance. There was no material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Amendment to Revenue Recognition involving Multiple Deliverable Arrangements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence of fair value or third-party evidence is unavailable. This guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The Company is assessing the impact of this new guidance but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
Amendment to Software Revenue Recognition
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance. This guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that the Company adopts the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. The Company is assessing the impact of this new guidance but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
3.  Restructuring Charges
 
Following the acquisition of Worldspan Technologies, Inc. (“Worldspan”) in 2007 and the completion of plans to integrate Worldspan into the GDS segment, the Company committed to various strategic initiatives, including the relocation of certain finance and administrative positions from the United States to the United Kingdom.
 
The recognition of the restructuring charges and the corresponding utilization of accrued balances during the six months ended June 30, 2010 are summarized as follows:
 
         
(in $ millions)      
 
Balance as of January 1, 2010

3.  Restructuring Charges (Continued)
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred approximately $4 million and $5 million, respectively, of costs related to the relocation, including charges related to exiting a lease arrangement in the United States. The Company expects to incur $1 million of additional restructuring charges for personnel related costs during 2010.
 
The restructuring charges of $4 million and $5 million incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, included $1 million that has been recorded within the GTA segment.
 
The restructuring charges of $7 million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009 included $2 million and $1 million that have been recorded within the GDS and GTA segments, respectively. The restructuring charges of $13 million incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $4 million and $3 million that have been recorded within the GDS and GTA segments, respectively. Cash payments for restructuring charges were $10 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
The accrued restructuring balance of $6 million as of June 30, 2010 primarily relates to future retention and severance payments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company loaned approximately $5 million to its ultimate parent. The loans accrue interest at 9.5% per annum and are due to be repaid by December 31, 2010.

6.  Intangible Assets (Continued)
 
As of December 31, 2009, the GDS and GTA segments had a gross carrying value of intangible assets excluding goodwill of $1,439 million and $595 million, respectively.

Included as a component of depreciation and amortization on the consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
The Company expects amortization expense relating to intangible assets to be approximately $61 million for the remainder of 2010 and $117 million, $112 million, $110 million, $107 million and $99 million for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, respectively.
 
The assessment of the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets requires the utilization of various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the tests and as such, could cause the fair value to be less than the respective carrying amount. Although the Company believes such assets are recoverable as of June 30, 2010, the Company cannot assure these assets will not be impaired in future periods.
 
7.  Orbitz Worldwide
 
The Company accounts for its investment of approximately 48% in Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”) under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $116 million and $60 million, respectively. The fair market value of the Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide as of June 30, 2010 was approximately $186 million.
 
On January 26, 2010, the Company purchased approximately $50 million of newly-issued common shares of Orbitz Worldwide.

The Company recorded earnings of $5 million and $2 million related to its investment in Orbitz Worldwide for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, within the equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded earnings (losses) of $5 million and $(156) million, respectively, within the equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
The loss in the six months ended June 30, 2009 includes the Company’s share of a non-cash impairment charge recorded by Orbitz Worldwide of $332 million, of which $250 million related to goodwill and $82 million related to trademarks and tradenames. During that period, Orbitz Worldwide experienced a significant decline in its stock price and a decline in its operating results due to continued weakness in economic and industry conditions. These factors, coupled with an increase in competitive pressures, resulted in the recognition of an impairment charge.
 
Net revenue disclosed above includes approximately $6 million and $17 million of net revenue earned by Orbitz Worldwide through transactions with the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
Net revenue disclosed above includes approximately $14 million and $39 million of net revenue earned by Orbitz Worldwide through transactions with the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had balances payable to Orbitz Worldwide of approximately $20 million and $3 million, respectively, which are included on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Long-term debt
               3,499              3,640  
                     
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company repaid approximately $6 million of its Dollar denominated debt under its senior secured credit facility as required under the senior secured credit agreement and approximately $6 million under its capital lease obligations. The Company borrowed and repaid approximately $100 million under its revolving credit facility during this period.
 
The principal amount of Euro denominated long-term debt decreased by approximately $136 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations during the six months ended June 30, 2010. This foreign exchange gain was largely offset by losses on foreign exchange hedge instruments contracted by the Company and the Company’s net investment hedging strategies.
 
As of June 30, 2010, there were $30 million of letter of credit commitments outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The remaining capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $240 million as of June 30, 2010.
 
In addition, the Company has a synthetic letter of credit facility of $150 million. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $142 million of commitments outstanding under this facility, including commitments of approximately $69 million in letters of credit issued by the Company on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide pursuant to the Company’s Separation Agreement with Orbitz Worldwide. As of June 30, 2010, this facility had remaining capacity of $8 million.
 
9.  Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

9.  Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a net liability position of $155 million related to derivative instruments associated with its Euro denominated and floating rate debt, its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid $30 million in cash to settle certain foreign currency forward contracts.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
A portion of the debt used to finance much of the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The primary interest rate exposure as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company used interest rate and cross currency swaps as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s interest rate hedges cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its Euro denominated debt. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company replaced its net investment hedging strategy with additional foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange risk associated with its Euro denominated debt. The Company does not designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedges; however, the fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts recorded within the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations largely offset the impact of the changes in the value of the Euro denominated debt they are intended to economically hedge. The fair value of the forward contracts and the impact of the changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are presented in the tables below.
 
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company primarily enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Japanese yen. As of June 30, 2010, certain derivatives used to manage the Company’s foreign currency exposure are designated as cash flow hedges. Deferred amounts to be recognized in earnings will change with market conditions and will be substantially offset by changes in the value of the related hedge transactions. The Company records the effective portion of designated cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss). Some of these forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge.
 
Fair Value Disclosures for Derivative Instruments
 
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value consist primarily of derivative instruments. These amounts have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy and are categorized as Level 2 — Significant Other Observable Inputs.
 
The fair value of interest rate and cross currency derivative instruments is determined using pricing models based on discounted cash flows that use inputs from actively quoted markets for similar instruments,

9.  Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk and counterparty credit risk. This adjustment is calculated based on default probability of the banking counterparty or the Company and is obtained from active credit default swap markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined by comparing the contract rate to a published forward price of the underlying currency, which is based on market rates for comparable transactions.
 
Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are currently recognized in earnings in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
Presented below is a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company de-designated as hedges certain of its derivative contracts. The total loss of $16 million included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in relation to these contracts is being recorded into income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations over the period to December 2011, in line with the previously hedged cash flows relating to these contracts. The total amount of loss recorded on these contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2 million in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
The total amount of gain (loss) reclassified into net interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the interest rate swaps designated as hedges includes amounts for ineffectiveness of less than $(1) million and less than $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and less than $(1) million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The total amount of loss to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations within the next 12 months is expected to be $23 million.
 
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 to their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes based on quoted prices in active markets for identical debt instruments; and by calculating amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility based on market observable inputs.
 
10.  Equity-Based Compensation
 
As detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010, the partnership that owns 100% of the Company (the “Partnership”) has an equity-based, long-term incentive program for the purpose of retaining certain key employees. Under several plans within this program, key employees have been granted restricted equity units and profit interests in the Partnership.
 
In May 2009, the board of directors of the Partnership authorized the grant of 33.3 million restricted equity units under the 2009 Travelport Long-Term Incentive Plan. Of these, 8.2 million restricted equity units were recognized for accounting purposes as being granted in May 2009, 8.4 million restricted equity units were recognized for accounting purposes as being granted in March 2010, and the remainder will be recognized as granted for accounting purposes over the subsequent period up to December 31, 2012. The level of award vesting each year is dependent upon continued service and performance measures of the business as established by the board of directors of the partnership towards the start of each year. The fair value of the restricted equity units, recognized as grants for accounting purposes, is based on a valuation of the total equity of the Partnership at the time of each grant.
 
The activity of all the equity award programs is presented below:

12.  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, 2010 the Company had approximately $202 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology (of which $63 million relates to the twelve months ended June 30, 2011). These purchase obligations extend through 2015.
 
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 adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.
 
In connection with the Company’s former national distribution company (“NDC”) arrangements in the Middle East, the Company is involved in a dispute with certain of its former NDC partners regarding the payment of certain disputed fees. While no assurance can be provided, the Company believes the dispute is without merit and does not believe the outcome of this dispute will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or its liquidity condition.
 
Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
 
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

12.  Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
 
businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) use of derivatives and (v) issuances of debt 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 trademarks, (iv) financial institutions in derivative contracts and (v) underwriters in debt security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments that 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.
 
13.  Segment Information
 
The US GAAP measures which management and the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) evaluate the performance of the Company are net revenue and Segment EBITDA, which is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, each of which is presented on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
Although not presented herein, the Company also evaluates its performance based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is Segment 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, non-cash equity-based compensation, and other adjustments made to exclude expenses management and the CODM view as outside the normal course of operations.
 
The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its management and CODM to assess financial performance and to allocate resources. Certain expenses which are managed outside of the segments are excluded from the results of the segments and are included within corporate and unallocated, as reconciling items.
 
The Company’s presentation of Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion 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. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 2 of this Form 10-Q. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in $ millions.
 
Segments
 
Our operations are organized under the following business segments:
 
  •     The Global Distribution System (“GDS”) business consists of Travelport GDSs, which provide aggregation, search and transaction processing services to travel suppliers and travel agencies, allowing travel agencies to search, compare, process and book itinerary and pricing options across multiple travel suppliers. Our GDS business operates three systems, Galileo, Apollo and Worldspan, providing travel agencies with booking technology and access to supplier inventory that we aggregate from airlines, hotels, car rental companies, rail networks, cruise and tour operators, and destination service providers. Within our GDS business, our Airline IT Solutions business provides hosting solutions and a number of IT services to airlines to enable them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs.
 
  •     The GTA business receives access to accommodation, ground travel, sightseeing and other destination services from travel suppliers at negotiated rates and then distributes this inventory through multiple channels to other travel wholesalers, tour operators and travel agencies, as well as directly to consumers via its affiliate channels.
 
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
 
Macroeconomic and Travel Industry Conditions: Our business is highly correlated to the overall performance of the travel industry, in particular, growth in air passenger travel which, in turn, is linked to the global macro-economic environment. During the recent global economic recession, our air travel volumes declined. Nonetheless, the GDS industry has recently shown signs of entering a cyclical recovery, with air passenger volumes increasing 9% in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Total GDS air bookings also increased by 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The GDS industry is poised to benefit from the recovery and expected future growth in the global travel industry. Total transaction value (“TTV”) for the GTA business is driven by room nights and average daily rates achieved by GTA for hotels. The GTA business has begun to show signs of recovery, with an increase in room nights and average daily rates in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
 
Impact of Delta and Northwest Merger: Delta, one of our largest IT services customers, completed its acquisition of Northwest, another of our largest IT services customers, in 2009. As part of their integration, Delta and Northwest have migrated to a common IT platform and will have reduced needs for our IT services after the integration. As a result, our Airline IT Solutions revenue and Segment EBITDA will decrease in 2010.
 
Seasonality: Our businesses experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. These trends cause our revenue to be generally higher in the second and third calendar quarters of the year, with GDS revenue peaking as travelers plan and purchase their spring and summer travel, and GTA revenue is traditionally highest in the third quarter, as group travel peaks in this quarter. Revenue then typically flattens or declines in the fourth and first quarters of the calendar year. Our results may also be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the inventory made available to us by our travel suppliers.
 
Foreign Exchange Movements: We transact our business primarily in US dollars. While the majority of our revenue is denominated in US dollars, a portion of costs are denominated in other currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Japanese yen). We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure

to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge. Nevertheless, our operating results are impacted to a certain extent by movements in the underlying exchange rates between those currencies listed above.
 
Restructuring: Historically, we have taken a number of actions to enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes, which included, among others, the migration of the Galileo data center, formerly located in Denver, Colorado, into the Worldspan data center, located in Atlanta, Georgia; consolidating certain administrative and support functions of Galileo and Worldspan; and the renegotiation of several material vendor contracts. The most significant impact of these initiatives was the elimination of redundant staff positions, reduced technology costs associated with renegotiated vendor contracts, and, to a lesser extent, cost savings and synergies resulting from a reduction in the amount of office rental space required and related utilities, maintenance and other facility operating costs. Our results of operations have historically been significantly impacted by these actions.
 
Results of Operations
 
Our management and CODM use Segment EBITDA to measure segment operating performance. Segment EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, each of which is presented on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations. Segment EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for either management or the CODM’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Management and the CODM believe Segment EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because it excludes the results of transactions that are not considered to be directly related to the underlying segment operations and excludes costs associated with decisions made at the corporate level such as company-wide equity compensation plans and the impact of financing arrangements and derivative transactions.
 
Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. In addition, this measure should neither be considered as a measure of liquidity or cash flow from operations nor a measure comparable to net income as determined under US GAAP as it does not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments, and other costs associated with items unrelated to our ongoing operations.

Consolidated Results
 
The net revenue increase of $6 million (1%) consists of a $5 million (1%) growth in our GDS segment and a $1 million (1%) growth in our GTA segment. The growth in net revenue is primarily due to increased global demand which has resulted in volume growth in both the GDS and GTA segments as described in more detail in the segment analysis below.
 
The cost of revenue increase of $11 million (4%) is attributable to growth in our GDS segment. The growth in cost of revenue is the result of transaction volumes, commission costs and movements in exchange rates as described in more detail in the segment analysis below.
 
The selling, general and administrative expenses increase of $11 million (9%) is primarily due to an increase in our corporate costs and expenses not allocated to segments as detailed below.

by $13 million unrealized gain on foreign exchange derivatives recorded in 2009 compared to a $2 million unrealized loss on foreign exchange derivatives recorded in 2010.
 
Restructuring Charges
 
Restructuring charges decreased by $3 million (43%). While our actions to enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes, following the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007, were substantially completed in 2009, further charges were incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2010 in relation to exiting a lease arrangement in the US as a result of relocations.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2 million (3%) primarily due to the current year additions of software and equipment from IBM, partially offset by a lower amortization expense in GTA as a result of a reduction in the amortizable intangible asset values following the impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009.
 
Other Income
 
Other income decreased $5 million to nil in 2010. In 2009 there was $5 million of gains on sale of assets, whereas there were no gains or losses on sale of assets recorded in 2010.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense decreased $9 million (13%) as a result of a reduction in the underlying interest charge of $5 million from the corresponding period in prior year due to lower interest rates and a lower debt balance and a $4 million reduction in interest expense due to a change in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Equity in Earnings of Investment in Orbitz Worldwide
 
Our share of equity in earnings of investment in Orbitz Worldwide remained flat at $5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. These earnings reflect our 48% ownership interest in the earnings of Orbitz Worldwide.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our tax provision differs materially from the provision at the US Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying rates on average, (ii) a valuation allowance established against the losses generated in the US due to the historical losses in that jurisdiction and the release of a portion of that allowance in 2009 and 2010, and (iii) certain costs and expenses that are not currently deductible for tax in the relevant jurisdiction.

GDS revenue increased $5 million (1%) as a result of an $11 million (2%) increase in transaction processing revenue, partially offset by a $6 million (11%) decrease in Airline IT Solutions revenue. Americas transaction processing revenue decreased by $1 million (1%) due to a 3% decline in average revenue per segment, partially offset by a 3% increase in segments. Europe transaction processing revenue increased by $1 million (1%) due to a 4% increase in segments, partially offset by a 3% decline in average revenue per segment. MEA transaction processing revenue decreased by $1 million (1%) due to a 1% decrease in segments with average revenue per segment remaining flat. APAC transaction processing revenue increased by $12 million (18%) due to an 18% increase in segments with average revenue per segment remaining flat. Airline IT Solutions revenue decreased by $6 million (11%) primarily due to lower hosting revenues arising from the Delta Northwest merger.
 
The GDS business experienced an improvement in global demand during the three months ended June 30, 2010, as reflected in the 5% increase in segment volumes which was attributable to global economic conditions, including improved consumer confidence, an increase in business travel and an increase in airline capacity.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
GDS cost of revenue is comprised of:

GDS cost of revenue increased by $13 million (5%) as a result of an increase in commissions paid to travel agencies and national distribution companies (“NDCs”). This increase in commissions is attributable to the growth in volumes for the GDS business and an increase in the average rate of agency commissions. The increase in commissions was offset by a decrease in telecommunications and technology costs primarily due to the efficiencies from our recent investment in IT infrastructure.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
GDS SG&A decreased by $1 million (1%) primarily as a result of (i) a $16 million reduction in administrative costs, including a reduction in wages and benefits of approximately $9 million as a result of effective cost management, partially offset by (ii) a $7 million adverse movement in foreign exchange and (iii) a one-time gain of $8 million realized in 2009 from a commercial legal settlement.
 
GTA Segment
 
Net Revenue
 
GTA revenue increased $1 million (1%) from $77 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $78 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue is due to an increase in TTV, which rose by 18% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to a 20% growth in the number of room nights, offset by a reduction in the net margin on sales and unfavorable foreign currency exchange movements.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
GTA cost of revenue decreased $2 million (14%) from $14 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $12 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The cost of transactions for which GTA takes inventory risk was $4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
GTA SG&A increased $1 million (2%) as a result of a $2 million increase in wages and benefits, partially offset by a $1 million reduction in bad debt expense in the period.

Consolidated Results
 
The net revenue increase of $34 million (3%) consists of a $30 million (3%) growth in our GDS segment and a $4 million (3%) growth in our GTA segment. The growth in net revenue is primarily due to increased global demand which has resulted in volume growth in both the GDS and GTA segments as described in more detail in the segment analysis below.
 
The cost of revenue increase of $44 million (8%) is attributable to growth in our GDS segment. The growth in cost of revenue is the result of higher transaction volumes and higher commission costs as described in more detail in the segment analysis below.
 
The SG&A increase of $12 million (4%) is primarily due to (i) a $21 million (70%) increase in our corporate costs and expenses not allocated to segments as detailed below, (ii) a $6 million (4%) decrease in our GDS segment expenses as detailed in the GDS segment analysis below and (iii) a $3 million (4%) decrease in our GTA segment as detailed in the GTA segment analysis below.

The $17 million increase in transaction and integration costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is due to costs incurred in relation to a proposed offering of securities. The $17 million adverse movement on foreign currency derivatives and other is driven by a $13 million unrealized gain on foreign exchange derivatives recorded in 2009 compared to a $4 million loss recorded in 2010. The decrease in corporate administrative expenses is primarily the result of cost savings resulting from the restructuring programs.
 
Restructuring Charges
 
Restructuring charges decreased by $8 million (62%) as our actions to enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes, following the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007, were substantially completed in 2009. Further charges were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily in relation to exiting a lease arrangement in the US as a result of relocations.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization decreased $2 million (2%) primarily due to a lower amortization expense in GTA as a result of a reduction in the amortizable intangible asset values following the impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009, partially offset by increased depreciation within GDS following the purchase of software and equipment from IBM in the first quarter of 2010.
 
Other Income
 
Other income decreased $5 million as a result of gains on sale of assets recorded in 2009. There were no gains or losses on sale of assets recorded in 2010.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense decreased $9 million (7%) as a result of a reduction in the underlying interest charge of $13 million from the corresponding period in the prior year due to lower interest rates and a lower debt

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Investment in Orbitz Worldwide
 
Our share of equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $(156) million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2009. These earnings (losses) reflect our 48% ownership interest in the earnings (losses) of Orbitz Worldwide. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, Orbitz Worldwide recorded a $332 million impairment charge on certain intangible assets.

GDS cost of revenue increased by $46 million (8%) as a result of an increase in commissions paid to travel agencies and NDCs. This increase in commissions is attributable to the growth in volumes for the GDS business and an increase in the average rate of agency commissions. The increase in commissions was offset by a decrease in telecommunications and technology costs primarily due to the efficiencies from our recent investment in IT infrastructure.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
GDS SG&A decreased $6 million (4%) primarily as a result of (i) a $16 million reduction in administrative costs, including a reduction in wages and benefits of approximately $13 million as a result of effective cost management and (ii) a $5 million reduction in transaction and intergration costs primarily associated with costs incurred during 2009 related to the integration of Worldspan, partially offset by (iii) an $8 million adverse movement in foreign exchange losses and (iv) a one-time gain of $8 million realized in 2009 from a commercial legal settlement.
 
GTA Segment
 
Net Revenue
 
GTA revenue increased $4 million (3%) from $119 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $123 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue is due to an increase in TTV, which rose by 19% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to a 16% growth in the number of room nights, partially offset by a reduction in margin on sales and exchange rate movements.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
GTA cost of revenue decreased $2 million (9%) from $22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $20 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The cost of transactions for which GTA takes inventory

risk was $7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
GTA SG&A decreased $3 million (4%) primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense of $6 million as a result of a reduction in the level of delinquencies experienced during the period and a $3 million decrease in foreign exchange losses partially offset by a $6 million increase in administrative costs including wages and benefits.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations, including working capital. We maintain an appropriate level of liquidity through several sources, including maintaining appropriate levels of cash, access to funding sources, a committed credit facility and other committed and uncommitted lines of credit. As of June 30, 2010, our financing needs were supported by $240 million of available capacity under our $300 million revolving credit facility and approximately $8 million of capacity under our $150 million synthetic letter of credit facility. We have the ability to add incremental term loan facilities or to increase commitments under the revolving credit facility by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, of which $150 million was utilized as of June 30, 2010. In the event additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all for these incremental term loan facilities.
 
Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, interest payments on debt and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments or repurchases of debt. As a result of the cash on our balance sheet, our ability to generate cash from operations over the course of a year and through 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. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect or we require funds for acquisitions of other businesses, assets, products or technologies, we may need to incur additional debt, sell or monetize certain existing assets or utilize our cash or cash equivalents. Alternatively, we may be able to offset any potential shortfall in cash flows from operations by taking cost reduction measures or reducing capital expenditures from existing levels.
 
Our primary future cash needs on a recurring basis will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and debt repurchases. As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by us, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise.

operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 20, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by operating activities was $204 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $134 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is mainly due to a $67 million increase in cash provided by working capital. There was $92 million of cash inflow from working capital in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $25 million of cash inflow from working capital in the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to an increase in trading volumes in our businesses as well as fluctuations in our collections and payable cycles.
 
Investing Activities. The use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $202 million, due to $136 million used for capital expenditures, $50 million of additional investment in Orbitz Worldwide and $16 million for business acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, capital expenditures of $136 million consisted primarily of software and computer equipment, including amounts related to the transaction processing facility software license from IBM. The use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily $19 million for capital expenditures, offset by $5 million of proceeds from the sale of assets.
 
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $42 million, due to $6 million mandatory term loan repayments, $6 million capital lease payments and $30 million of cash paid on derivative contracts. Borrowings of $100 million drawn down under the revolving credit facility in the three months ended March 31, 2010 were repaid in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The use of cash in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $185 million due to $277 million principal repayments on borrowings, $42 million cash distributions to a parent, $7 million for a net share settlement on equity-based compensation and $3 million for debt finance costs, partially offset by $144 million of proceeds from new term loans.
 
Debt and Financing Arrangements
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repaid approximately $6 million of our Dollar denominated debt under our senior secured credit facility as required under the senior secured credit agreement and approximately $6 million under our capital lease obligations. We have also borrowed and repaid approximately $100 million under our revolving credit facility during this period.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the principal amount of Euro denominated long-term debt decreased by approximately $136 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations. This foreign exchange gain was largely offset by losses on foreign exchange hedge instruments and our net investment hedging strategies.
 
As of June 30, 2010, there were $30 million of letter of credit commitments outstanding under our revolving credit facility leaving a remaining capacity of $240 million.
 
In addition, we have a $150 million synthetic letter of credit facility. As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $142 million of commitments outstanding under the synthetic letter of credit facility, including commitments of approximately $69 million in letters of credit issued on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide pursuant to our Separation Agreement with Orbitz Worldwide. As of June 30, 2010, this facility has remaining capacity of $8 million.
 
Our leverage ratio under the senior secured credit agreement is computed by calculating the last twelve months of our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, including the impact of cost savings and synergies, and dividing the total net debt outstanding (as defined in the terms of our credit agreement) at the balance sheet date by this figure. Our leverage ratio as of June 30, 2010 is 5.48 as compared to the maximum allowable of 6.0.
 
Total net debt per our credit agreement is broadly defined as total debt less cash and the net position of related derivative instrument balances.
 
The Adjusted EBITDA measure is a defined term within our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude 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, non-cash equity-based compensation, and other adjustments made to exclude expenses management and the CODM view as outside the normal course of operations.
 
Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk
 
We use foreign currency forward contracts in order to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our Euro denominated debt. In the first quarter of 2010, we replaced our existing net investment hedging strategy with additional foreign currency forward contracts. These forward contracts were not designated as cash flow hedges; however, the fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts recorded within our consolidated condensed statements of operations largely offset the impact of the changes in the value of the Euro denominated debt they are intended to economically hedge.
 
We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Japanese yen. Several derivatives used to manage our foreign currency exposure are designated as cash flow hedges. Deferred amounts to be recognized in earnings will change with market conditions and will be substantially offset by changes in the value of the related hedge transactions. We record the effective portion of designated cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss). Some of these forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge.
 
A portion of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. We use hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The primary interest rate exposure as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was to interest rate fluctuations in the US and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. During the period we used interest rate and cross currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies. As of June 30, 2010, our interest rate hedges cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years.
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had a net liability position of $155 million related to derivative instruments associated with our Euro denominated and floating rate debt, our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
On March 31, 2010, we entered into an amendment to our Asset Management Offering Agreement (“IBM Agreement”), effective as of July 1, 2002, as amended, with IBM. This amendment updated certain terms and extended the overall term of the IBM Agreement until December 31, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, we will obtain upgrades to existing systems architecture and software infrastructure at our Atlanta, Georgia, data center; migration services and access to IBM’s transaction processing facility software platform; licenses and other software products; equipment and software maintenance; and various other services.

Our other future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2009 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We used June 30, 2010 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined through such analyses that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risks from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2010 as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2010.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
  (a)      Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Act, for the period ended June 30, 2010. Based on the evaluation performed, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
  (b)      Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
