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 or state other "forward-looking" information. 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, natural disasters and other disruptions;

    our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize anticipated benefits of past and future acquisitions, including the acquisition of Worldspan;

    our ability to achieve expected cost savings and operational synergies from our re-engineering efforts and the acquisition of Worldspan;

    our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness and the impact such indebtedness may have on the way we operate our businesses;

    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;

    the impact on supplier capacity and inventory resulting from consolidation of the airline industry;

    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; 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 in the section captioned "Risk Factors" in our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (the "SEC") on September 26, 2008, 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 our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our 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 and financial position.

        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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions)

1. Basis of Presentation

        Travelport Limited ("Travelport" or the "Company") is a Bermuda company formed on July 13, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring the Travelport businesses of Avis Budget Group, Inc. (formerly Cendant Corporation) ("Avis Budget"). Travelport is one of the world's largest travel services companies offering broad based business services to companies operating in the global travel industry. The Company is comprised of Travelport GDS, a global distribution system business that includes the Worldspan and Galileo brands ("GDS"); Gullivers Travel Associates ("GTA"), a group travel and wholesale hotel business; Business Intelligence Services, a data analysis business; and IT Services and Software, which hosts mission critical applications and provides business solutions for major airlines. The Company has approximately 6,000 employees and operates in 145 countries. Travelport is a closely held company owned by affiliates of The Blackstone Group ("Blackstone") of New York, Technology Crossover Ventures ("TCV") of Palo Alto, California, One Equity Partners ("OEP") of New York and Travelport management.

        In presenting the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2008.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 establishes enhanced disclosure requirements for derivatives instruments and hedging activities. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

        The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"), effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 provides entities the option to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. The Company has elected not to apply the fair value option to its financial assets and liabilities.

        The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS No. 157"), effective January 1, 2008. Under this standard, the financial assets and liabilities on the Company's balance sheet that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are marketable securities and assets and liabilities related to derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)


between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market rates obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability based on the best information available.

        The hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157 is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

      Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

      Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

      Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement.

        The Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", and are included within other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. These securities are actively traded on exchanges and have price quotes for identical assets to the securities held by the Company, and as such, the valuations are considered within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

        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. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using pricing models that use inputs from actively quoted markets for similar instruments that do not entail significant judgment. These amounts include fair value adjustments related to our own credit risk and counterparty credit risk. These pricing models are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or balance sheet as of January 1, 2008. At September 30, 2008, the fair value of the derivative contracts in an asset position reflected an adjustment of approximately $5 million due to the credit assessment of the counterparty, while the fair value of derivative contracts in a liability position reflected adjustments of less than $1 million due to the credit assessment of the Company. See Note 9, Fair Value Disclosures, for additional information.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which established principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of (i) the identifiable assets acquired, (ii) the liabilities assumed, (iii) any non-controlling interest in the acquiree,

(iv) goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase and (v) adjustments associated with changes in tax contingencies that occur after the measurement period, not to exceed one year, are to be recorded as adjusted income. This statement also established disclosure requirements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008; however, the guidance in this standard regarding the treatment of income tax contingencies is retrospective to business combinations completed prior to December 31, 2008. The impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company's results of operations or financial condition will depend on future acquisitions.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 requires that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary be separately reported within equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the non-controlling interest be presented in the statement of operations. SFAS No. 160 also calls for consistency in reporting changes in the parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary and necessitates fair value measurement of any non-controlling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

        As of December 31, 2007, the Company reached a definitive agreement to sell its TRUST business, a non-core business within its GTA segment. The Company completed the sale of this business in January 2008.

        The Company incurred separation costs of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 primarily related to employee retention plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, separation costs of $5 million consisted of $2 million related to employee retention plans and $3 million of professional fees.

Restructuring Charges

        During the fourth quarter of 2007, following the acquisition of Worldspan and the completion of plans to integrate Worldspan into the Company's GDS segment, the Company committed to various strategic initiatives targeted principally at reducing costs and enhancing organizational efficiency by consolidating and rationalizing existing processes. Substantially all of the costs incurred were personnel related. The recognition of the restructuring charges and the corresponding utilization during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are summarized as follows:

        The adjustments to goodwill acquired in 2007 are primarily the result of a $10 million adjustment to the purchase price of Worldspan. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company corrected an immaterial error in the purchase price allocation related to the Worldspan acquisition. This adjustment decreased property, plant and equipment by approximately $2 million and increased goodwill by approximately $2 million.

        The purchase price allocation related to the Worldspan acquisition was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

        Amortization expense relating to all intangible assets was:

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately $180 million aggregate principal amount of notes at a discount, resulting in a $29 million gain from early extinguishment of debt. In addition, the principal amount outstanding under the Euro-denominated term loan facility and Euro-denominated notes decreased by approximately $27 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations, which are fully offset with foreign exchange hedge instruments contracted by the Company. The unrealized impacts of the hedge instruments are recorded within other current assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repaid approximately $8 million of debt under its senior secured credit facility as required under the senior secured credit agreement and approximately $6 million as required under its capital leases.

        As of September 30, 2008, there were $113 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, approximately $145 million of commitments outstanding under the Company's synthetic letter of credit facility and approximately $10 million of non-U.S. dollar letter of credit commitments outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. Included in these amounts are commitments of approximately $75 million in letters of credit issued by the Company on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide pursuant to the Separation Agreement with Orbitz Worldwide.

8. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

        The senior notes and senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries incorporated in the U.S. with the exception of Galileo International Technology, LLC. See Note 15—Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Consolidating Condensed Financial Statements.

        On September 15, 2008, it was reported that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. The Company has an aggregate revolving credit facility commitment of $300 million with a consortium of banks, including Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("LCPI"), a subsidiary of Lehman. As of September 15, 2008, LCPI's total commitment within the Company's credit facility was $30 million. The Company also currently has $10 million of outstanding letter of credit commitments under its revolving credit facility, none of which were issued by LCPI. On September 18, 2008, the Company attempted to borrow $125 million under the revolving credit facility; however, LCPI failed to fund its pro-rata commitment of $12 million. Each of the remaining banks within the revolving credit facility did fund their pro-rata commitment, resulting in $113 million of net funds received by the Company. In October 2008, the Company attempted to borrow $75 million and €66.0 million, respectively, under the revolving credit facility; however LCPI failed to fund its pro-rata commitments of $7 million and €7 million, respectively. Each of the remaining banks within the revolving credit facility did fund their pro-rata commitment, resulting in $68 million and €59 million of net funds received by the Company. The Company has no assurances that LCPI will participate in any future funding requests under the revolving credit facility. While the Company is exploring options to replace Lehman's commitment within the facility, it cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such replacement loan commitments from other banks. However, the Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to conduct its normal operations and does not believe that the reduction in available capacity under its revolving credit facility will have a material impact on its short-term or long-term liquidity requirements.

9. Fair Value Disclosures

        The Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value consist of marketable securities and derivative instruments. These amounts have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with SFAS No. 157, and are included within the Level 1 and Level 2 categories. See Note 2, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, for a discussion of the Company's polices regarding this hierarchy.

        The unrealized foreign exchange gains on foreign currency interest rate swaps include a non-cash gain of $17 million resulting from the Company's interest rate hedging programs and has been recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

10. Commitments and 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 that it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes that 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 that 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 existing NDC arrangements in the Middle East, the Company is involved in a dispute with one of its existing NDC partners regarding the payment of certain fees. The Company intends to defend vigorously any claims brought against the Company and to pursue vigorously appropriate cross-claims. While no assurances can be provided, the Company 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.

        Other than as disclosed above, there are no new significant claims, legal proceedings or inquiries from those previously disclosed as of December 31, 2007.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Guarantees/Indemnifications

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 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) financial institutions in derivative contracts and (iv) 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.

Contractual Obligations to Indemnify Avis Budget for Certain Taxes Relating to the Separation from Avis Budget

        The Company's separation from Avis Budget involved a restructuring of the Travelport business whereby certain former foreign subsidiaries were separated independent of the Company's separation from Avis Budget. It is possible that the independent separation of these foreign subsidiaries could give rise to an increased tax liability for Avis Budget that would not have existed had these foreign subsidiaries been separated with the Company. In order to induce Avis Budget to approve the separation structure, the Company agreed to indemnify Avis Budget for any increase in Avis Budget's tax liability resulting from the structure. The Company is not able to predict the amount of such tax liability, if any. To the extent that the Company's obligation to indemnify Avis Budget subjects the Company to additional costs, such costs would be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price, increasing tax-deductible goodwill, and could significantly and negatively affect the Company's financial condition.

11. Equity-Based Compensation

Travelport Equity-Based Long Term Incentive Program

        The Company introduced an equity-based long term incentive program in 2006 for the purpose of retaining certain key employees. Under this program, key employees were granted restricted equity units and profit interests in the partnership that owns 100% of the Company. The board of directors of the partnership approved the grant of up to approximately 120 million restricted equity units. In December 2007, the equity award program was amended and resulted in the conversion of all profit interests at fair market value into Class A-2 Units, which, along with all outstanding restricted equity units except those granted under the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan were vested immediately. In July 2008, the board of directors of the partnership approved the grant of 1.3 million restricted equity units, of which approximately 0.8 million vest in one year and approximately 0.5 million vest over four years.

        The activity of the Company's equity award program is presented below:

        The Company recorded non-cash equity compensation expense related to the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan of less than $1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded $8 million and $15 million of non-cash equity compensation expense, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded $2 million and $8 million of non-cash equity compensation expense, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, under the Travelport 2007 Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan.

12. Equity

        During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company made $60 million of cash distributions to its parent company.

13. Segment Information

        Management evaluates the performance of the Company based upon net revenue and segment "EBITDA", which is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, equity in losses of investments, net, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization, each of which is presented on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

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 i of this Form 10-Q.

Segments

         GDS.    The GDS businesses primarily focus on electronic travel distribution services that connect travel suppliers to travel agencies, who in turn distribute travel and travel-related products and services to their customers. In addition, the GDS businesses offer transaction processing solutions for travel suppliers and other travel industry customers. The GDS businesses consist principally of:

    Global Distribution System ("GDS") business, consisting of Galileo and Worldspan GDSs, which provide aggregation, search and transaction processing services to travel suppliers and travel agencies, allowing travel agencies to search, process and book tens of thousands of itinerary and pricing options across multiple travel suppliers within seconds, and Business Intelligence Services, a data analysis business.

    IT services and software business, which hosts mission critical applications and provides business solutions for major airlines.

         GTA.    Comprised of Gullivers Travel Associates, a wholesaler of accommodation and destination services, and Octopus Travel, which provides travel products and services largely to affiliate business partners, such as airlines, financial institutions and travel portals, and services directly to consumers.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Management uses Segment EBITDA (defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interest, equity in losses of investments, net, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization) to measure operating performance. Segment EBITDA is not a recognized term under US GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Segment EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The Company's presentation of Segment EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under US GAAP. Management believes Segment EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because Segment EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement US GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business.

        Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

        The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by our management 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 other. Although not presented herein, we also evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of deferred revenue written off due to purchase accounting on the acquisition of Travelport by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, impairment of 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.

    Net Revenue

        Net revenue decreased $120 million (16%) and included (i) a $225 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (ii) $104 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition of Worldspan, and (iii) a $23 million increase resulting from the reduction of intersegment eliminations offset by a $22 million decrease in organic revenue from our GDS segment.

        GDS net revenue increased $82 million (18%), including $104 million of incremental revenue from the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the incremental net revenue from Worldspan, GDS net revenue decreased $22 million primarily due to a $19 million decrease in GDS revenue, and a $3 million decrease in IT services revenue. The GDS revenue decrease is due to a $18 million decrease in booking fees and a $1 million decrease in other GDS revenue. Americas booking fees decreased $9 million (9%) due to an approximate 10% decrease in segments offset by a 3% increase in yield. EMEA booking fees decreased $5 million (3%) due to an approximate 10% decrease in segments partially offset by a 9% increase in yield. Asia Pacific booking fees decreased $5 million (8%) due to an approximate 10% decrease in segments partially offset by a 4% increase in yield.

        The decline in segments booked through the GDSs is primarily due to reduced global demand for travel that is attributable to the current global economic conditions, including lowered consumer confidence, a reduction in airline capacity, reduced business travel and higher ticket prices in response to rising fuel costs.

Table of Contents

        GTA net revenue remained constant primarily as a result of a 2% increase in total transaction value ("TTV"), offset by lower margins within the GTA consumer business.

    Cost of Revenue

        Cost of revenue increased $10 million (3%) primarily due to (i) $64 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan, (ii) a $62 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a $23 million increase from the reduction of intersegment eliminations, and (iv) a $3 million increase at GTA offset by a $18 million decrease in organic cost from our GDS segment.

        GDS cost of revenue increased $46 million (19%) due to $64 million of incremental costs as a result of the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the incremental Worldspan cost of revenue, GDS cost of revenue decreased $18 million primarily due to a $3 million (2%) decrease in support payments and commissions and a $15 million (31%) decrease in telecommunications and technology costs. Telecommunications and technology cost reductions reflect restructuring actions initiated in 2006 and synergies realized following the Worldspan acquisition. These cost saving initiatives resulted in savings of $20 million in 2008 compared to $13 million in 2007 and we have realized $11 million in Worldspan synergies across the GDS segment in 2008.

        GTA cost of revenue increased $3 million (23%) primarily as a result of incremental costs incurred as a result of an increase in TTV and an increase in transactions for which we take inventory risk, resulting in increased cost of sales and net revenue. These increases are partially offset by a reduction in commissions expense as a result of the termination of a white-label agreement within the GTA consumer business.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

        SG&A decreased $135 million (45%) primarily due to (i) $9 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan, (ii) a $125 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a $13 million decrease at GTA, (iv) a $6 million decrease in Corporate and other while the GDS segment's SG&A remained constant.

        GDS SG&A increased $9 million (11%), including the $9 million of incremental expenses as a result of the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the incremental Worldspan expenses, GDS SG&A remained constant primarily due to Worldspan synergies and incremental cost savings realized in 2008, offset by $4 million of incremental integration costs relating to the Worldspan acquisition. In 2008, we realized $13 million in Worldspan synergies across the GDS segment and $14 million in cost savings as compared to $12 million in 2007.

        GTA SG&A decreased $13 million (25%) primarily as a result of an $11 million reduction in expenses resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations and $1 million of incremental cost savings initiatives realized in 2008. Our cost savings initiatives have resulted in savings of $3 million in 2008 compared to $2 million in 2007.

        Corporate and other SG&A decreased $6 million (15%) primarily as a result of (i) a $3 million decrease in general corporate and unallocated expenses, (ii) a $6 million decrease in non-cash equity-based compensation, and (iii) a $3 million decrease project related expenses, partially offset by (iv) $4 million of incremental foreign exchange losses. The decrease in Corporate and unallocated SG&A includes the impact of our cost savings initiatives, which resulted in savings of $10 million in 2008 compared to $8 million in 2007.

Table of Contents

    Separation and Restructuring Charges

        Separation and restructuring costs increased $5 million primarily due to a $4 million increase in restructuring charges in our GDS segment, including $2 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan.

        During 2007, we recorded an adjustment to reduce restructuring expense by $1 million within our GDS segment. Subsequent to our acquisition by Blackstone, we committed to additional restructuring actions in the form of global headcount reductions and facility consolidations. Though we began to implement these actions during the fourth quarter of 2006, we continue to take restructuring actions in 2008 and have incurred $5 million in additional charges in 2008. Approximately $3 million and $2 million of the restructuring costs have been recorded within the GDS and Corporate and other segments, respectively.

    Depreciation and Amortization

        Depreciation and amortization decreased $5 million (7%) primarily due to $13 million of incremental depreciation and amortization from the acquisition of Worldspan offset by a $16 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide.

    Other Expenses, Net

        Other expenses, net increased $1 million primarily due to a loss on a sale of assets in 2008.

    Interest Expense, Net

        Interest expense, net decreased $29 million (26%) primarily due to (i) a $19 million reduction in debt issuance costs as a result of the acceleration of the amortization of our deferred financing costs in 2007 associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities, (ii) $13 million of interest expense in 2007 related to Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a $11 million reduction in expense primarily due to lower interest rates in 2008, and (iv) a $3 million reduction in interest expense in 2008 as a result of our bond repurchases during the period. These reductions are partially offset by a $9 million increase in net interest expense related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Worldspan and $8 million of expense related to a derivative that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

    Equity in Losses of Investments, Net

        We account for our investment in Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting. As a result of losses incurred by Orbitz Worldwide during 2008, we have recorded a loss of $138 million related to our investment. The losses reported by Orbitz Worldwide include a $297 million charge related to an impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets.

    Provision for Income Taxes

        We have an income tax provision of $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 primarily for taxes in foreign jurisdictions which cannot be offset with the losses in the United States. We recorded an income tax provision of $26 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

    Net Revenue

        Net revenue decreased $132 million (6%) and included (i) a $672 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (ii) $469 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition of Worldspan, (iii) a $40 million increase at GTA, and (iv) a $56 million increase resulting from the reduction of intersegment eliminations offset by a $25 million decrease in organic revenue from our GDS segment.

        GDS net revenue increased $444 million (35%), including $469 million of incremental revenue as a result of the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the net revenue from Worldspan, GDS net revenue decreased $25 million primarily due to a $20 million decrease in GDS revenue and a $5 million decrease in IT services revenue. The GDS revenue decrease is due to a $16 million decrease in booking fees, while other GDS revenue decreased $4 million (4%). Americas booking fees decreased $23 million (7%) primarily due to a 8% decrease in segments partially offset by a 1% increase in yield. EMEA booking fees increased $8 million (1%) due to a 7% increase in yield partially offset by a 5% decrease in segments. Asia Pacific booking fees decreased $1 million (1%) due to a 5% decrease in segments partially offset by 4% increase in yield. IT services revenue decreased $5 million primarily due to a decrease in fares, pricing and eticketing products revenue.

        The decline in segments booked through the GDSs is primarily due to reduced global demand for travel that is attributable to the current global economic conditions, including lowered consumer

confidence, a reduction in airline capacity, reduced business travel and higher ticket prices in response to rising fuel costs.

        GTA net revenue increased $40 million (16%) primarily as a result of a 10% increase in total transaction value ("TTV") and higher margins on overall sales, partially offset by lower margins within the GTA consumer business.

    Cost of Revenue

        Cost of revenue increased $147 million (17%) primarily due to (i) $294 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan, (ii) a $196 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a $56 million increase from the reduction of intersegment eliminations and (iv) a $15 million increase at GTA offset by a $22 million decrease from our GDS segment.

        GDS cost of revenue increased $272 million (40%) including $294 million of incremental costs as a result of the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the incremental Worldspan cost of revenue, GDS cost of revenue declined $22 million (3%) primarily due to a $31 million (19%) decrease in telecommunications and technology costs offset by an $9 million (2%) increase in support payments and commissions. The telecommunications and technology cost reductions are primarily the result of restructuring actions initiated in 2006 and synergies realized following the Worldspan acquisition. These cost saving initiatives resulted in savings of $54 million in 2008 compared to $32 million in 2007 and we have realized $19 million in Worldspan synergies across the GDS segment in 2008.

        GTA cost of revenue increased $15 million (40%) primarily as a result of incremental costs incurred as a result of an increase in TTV and an increase in transactions for which we take inventory risk, resulting in increased cost of sales and net revenue. These increases are partially offset by a reduction in commissions expense as a result of the termination of a white-label agreement within the GTA consumer businesses.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

        SG&A decreased $356 million (41%) primarily due to (i) $70 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan, (ii) a $388 million reduction resulting from the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a $4 million decrease at GTA, (iv) a $6 million decrease from our GDS segment and (v) a $28 million decrease in Corporate and other.

        GDS SG&A increased $64 million (31%), including the $70 million of incremental costs as a result of the Worldspan acquisition. Excluding the incremental Worldspan expenses, GDS SG&A decreased $6 million (3%) primarily as a result of incremental cost saving initiatives and Worldspan synergies realized in 2008 partially offset by $30 million of incremental integration and transaction costs relating to the Worldspan acquisition. In 2008, we realized $41 million in cost savings as compared to $27 million in 2007, and we realized $29 million in Worldspan synergies across the GDS segment in 2008.

        GTA SG&A decreased $4 million (3%) primarily as a result of a $7 million reduction in expense resulting from the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and $4 million of incremental cost savings initiatives realized during the period partially offset by a $7 million increase in various general administrative and overhead cost incurred to support the growth in business. Our cost savings initiatives have resulted in savings of $8 million in 2008 compared to $4 million in 2007.

        Corporate and other SG&A decreased $28 million (23%) primarily as a result of (i) an $18 million decrease in non-cash equity-based compensation, (ii) a $12 million decrease in general corporate and unallocated expense and (iii) a $7 million decrease in transaction and integrations costs, partially offset by (iv) $7 million in incremental expenses resulting from the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

SG&A includes the impact of our cost savings initiatives, which resulted in savings of $29 million in 2008 compared to $19 million in 2007.

    Separation and Restructuring Charges

        Separation and restructuring charges decreased $10 million primarily as a result of a $5 million decrease in separation costs and a $5 million decrease in restructuring costs, including $4 million of incremental costs from the acquisition of Worldspan. The decrease in restructuring costs is attributable to decreases of $8 million and $1 million in our GDS and Orbitz Worldwide segments, respectively, offset by an increase of $4 million in Corporate and other.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred $24 million in restructuring charges as we committed to various strategic initiatives targeted principally at reducing costs, enhancing organizational efficiency and consolidating and rationalizing existing processes and facilities. The GDS segment recorded $20 million, the GTA segment recorded $2 million and the Orbtiz Worldwide segment and Corporate and other segments each recorded $1 million during 2007. Subsequent to the acquisition by Blackstone, we committed to additional restructuring actions in the form of global headcount reductions and facility consolidations. Though we began to implement these actions during the fourth quarter of 2006, we continue to take restructuring actions in 2008 and have incurred $19 million in additional charges during the first nine months of 2008, approximately $12 million and $2 million of the restructuring costs have been recorded within the GDS and GTA segments, respectively, and approximately $5 million has been recorded within Corporate and other.

    Depreciation and Amortization

        Depreciation and amortization increased $19 million (11%) due to $47 million of incremental depreciation and amortization from the acquisition of Worldspan offset by a $41 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide. On an organic basis, depreciation and amortization increased $13 million as a result of accelerated depreciation on certain assets in 2008 relating to the integration of the GDS data center.

    Interest Expense, Net

        Interest expense, net decreased $59 million (21%) primarily due to (i) a $21 million reduction in expense due to lower interest rates in 2008, (ii) $20 million of interest expense in 2007 related to Orbitz Worldwide, (iii) a non-cash gain of approximately $17 million resulting from our interest rate hedging programs, (iv) a $19 million reduction in debt issuance costs as a result of the acceleration of the amortization of our deferred financing costs in 2007 associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities, and (v) a reduction in interest expense of $8 million resulting from our bond repurchases during 2008. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $27 million, net related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Worldspan.

    Equity in Losses of Investments, Net

        We account for our investment in Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting. As a result of losses incurred by Orbitz Worldwide during 2008, we have recorded a loss of $148 million related to our investment. The losses reported by Orbitz Worldwide include a $297 million charge related to an impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets.

    Provision for Income Taxes

        We have an income tax provision of $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily for taxes in foreign jurisdictions which cannot be offset with the losses in the United States. We recorded an income tax provision of $31 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations, including working capital. The principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, including investments in products and technology offerings, interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments of a portion of our outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 2008, our financing needs were supported by $147 million of available capacity under our revolving credit facility, reflecting the available capacity of $270 million less outstanding borrowings of $113 million and $10 million of foreign currency denominated letter of credit commitments outstanding.

        On September 15, 2008, it was reported that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. We have an aggregate revolving credit facility commitment of $300 million with a consortium of banks, including Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("LCPI"), a subsidiary of Lehman. As of September 15, 2008, LCPI's total commitment within our credit facility was $30 million. We also currently have $10 million of outstanding letter of credit commitments under our revolving credit facility, none of which were issued by LCPI. On September 18, 2008, we attempted to borrow $125 million under the revolving credit facility; however, LCPI failed to fund its pro-rata commitment of $12 million. Each of the remaining banks within the revolving credit facility did fund their pro-rata commitment, resulting in $113 million of net funds received by us. In October 2008, we attempted to borrow $75 million and €66.0 million, under the revolving credit facility, however LCPI failed to fund its pro-rata commitments of $7 million and €7 million, respectively. Each of the remaining banks within the revolving credit facility did fund their pro-rata commitment, resulting in $68 million and €59 million, of net funds received by us. We have no assurances that LCPI will participate in any future funding requests under the revolving credit facility. While we are exploring options to replace Lehman's commitment within the facility, we cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain such replacement loan commitments from other banks. However, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to conduct our normal operations and we do not believe that the reduction in available capacity under our revolving credit facility will have a material impact on our its short-term or long-term liquidity requirements.

Cash Flows

        At September 30, 2008, we had $268 million of cash and cash equivalents, which is a decrease of $41 million as compared to December 31, 2007. The following table summarizes the components:

         Operating Activities.    For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our cash provided by operations was $140 million, a decrease of $97 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease primarily is due to the deconsolidation of Orbitz Worldwide, which

38


Table of Contents


generated approximately $65 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and changes in our working capital as a result of $30 million of interest payments and $23 million of bonus payments due to the timing of the payments, and $14 million related to the termination of our arrangement with IBM at our Denver data center, as well as various other differences.

         Investing Activities.    The use of cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was driven by $71 million of capital expenditures and $4 million of acquisition related payments. The use of cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was driven by $1,058 million of net cash used to acquire Worldspan and $80 million of capital expenditures, including $36 million used by Orbitz Worldwide, partially offset by $55 million received from asset sales.

         Financing Activities.    The use of cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due to $159 million in cash used to repurchase debt in 2008, $60 million in cash distributions to our parent company and $6 million of capital lease payments, partially offset by $113 million of borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The source of cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due to $1,040 million borrowed in connection with the acquisition of Worldspan, $600 million from the Orbitz Worldwide term loan, $477 million of net proceeds generated from the Orbitz Worldwide IPO, a $135 million contribution from our parent and $5 million from the issuance of capital stock, partially offset by $1,091 million in repayment of term loans with the proceeds of the Orbitz Worldwide IPO and borrowing under its credit facilities and $25 million of debt issuance costs.

Debt and Financing Arrangements

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we repurchased approximately $180 million in aggregate principal amount of notes at a discount, resulting in a $29 million gain from early extinguishment of debt. In addition, the principal amount outstanding under the Euro-denominated facility and Euro-denominated notes increased by approximately $27 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations, which are fully offset with foreign exchange hedge instrument contracts. The unrealized impacts of the hedge instruments are recorded within other current assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. We repaid approximately $8 million of debt under our senior secured credit facility as required under the senior secured credit agreement and approximately $6 million as required under our capital leases. As of September 30, 2008, there were $113 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, approximately $145 million of commitments outstanding under the synthetic letter of credit facility and approximately $10 million of non-U.S. dollar letter of credit commitments outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Included in these amounts are commitments of approximately $75 million in letters of credit issued by us on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide pursuant to our Separation Agreement with Orbitz Worldwide.

        As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants related to our long-term debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

        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, Euro-denominated term loan facility and notes and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We primarily enter into derivative instruments to manage our foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. Substantially all the forward contracts we utilize do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended and interpreted. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do,

39


Table of Contents


however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge.

Interest Rate Risk

        A portion of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. We use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. The primary interest rate exposure at September 30, 2008 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically LIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. We currently use interest rate swaps as the derivative instrument in these hedging strategies. Several derivatives used to manage the risk associated with our floating rate debt were designated as cash flow hedges.

Contractual Obligations

        Our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2007 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 26, 2008. Any changes to our obligations related to our indebtedness are presented above within the section entitled "Debt and Financing Arrangements."

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 and foreign currency rates. We used September 30, 2008 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 and foreign currency exchange rates and prices 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 amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2008.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to our financial close and reporting process described previously in our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2008 and below.

    The material weakness resulted from (1) the inadequate design of controls to ensure the accurate estimation of financial assistance expense related to certain travel agency subscriber activities and (2) failure to execute designed monitoring and account reconciliation controls to identify errors in related account balances. These control deficiencies resulted in errors in certain account balances, resulting in an understatement of cost of revenue and accrued expenses.

(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.    Except as described below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in

40


Table of Contents

    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.

    During 2008, we commenced efforts to remediate the material weakness described above. While the remediation activities are ongoing, certain procedures already implemented did result in the identification of an error at a subsidiary within our GDS segment associated with the estimation of financial assistance expense. As a result of this error, we restated our previously issued interim and annual financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2008, September 30, 2007, June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect the remediation efforts to be complete by year-end.
