18.    Segment Information

The US GAAP measures which management and the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) use to evaluate the performance of the Company are net revenue and EBITDA, which is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, each of which is presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Although not presented here, the CODM also evaluates performance based on Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of purchase accounting, 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.

Reportable segments are determined based on the financial information which is available and utilized on a regular basis by the Company’s management and CODM to assess financial performance and to allocate resources. After the sale of the GTA business during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company now has one reportable segment.
