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”, “us” or “Travelport” 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 of continuing operations 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 our outstanding indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business;

 

    our ability to obtain travel provider inventory from travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines and other travel providers;

 

    our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies 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 providers and generate new revenue streams;

 

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

 

    our ability to grow adjacencies, such as our controlling interest in eNett;

 

    general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies, particularly in the U.S. dollar, and the economic conditions in the eurozone;

 

    pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry;

 

    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 section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2014, 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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Travelport Limited (the “Company” or “Travelport”) is a travel commerce marketplace providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the $7 trillion global travel and tourism industry. With a presence in over 170 countries and 2013 net revenue of $2.08 billion, Travelport is a privately owned company comprised of:

The Travel Commerce Platform (formerly known as the global distribution system or “GDS” business), through which the Company facilitates travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers with online and offline travel buyers in the Company’s proprietary business to business (“B2B”) travel commerce marketplace. As travel industry demands evolve, Travelport is utilizing its Travel Commerce Platform to redefine the electronic distribution and merchandising of airline core and ancillary products, as well as extending its reach into the growing world of travel commerce beyond air, including to hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. In addition, Travelport has leveraged its domain expertise in the travel industry to design a pioneering B2B payment solution that addresses the needs of travel intermediaries to efficiently and securely settle travel transactions. Travelport utilizes the extensive data managed by its platform to provide an array of additional services, such as advertising solutions, subscription services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.

Through its Technology Services, Travelport provides critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other solutions, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. The Company manages reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines.

The Company also owns approximately 44% of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”), a leading global online travel company.

These financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, with the exception of the December 31, 2013 balance sheet which was derived from audited financial statements. These consolidated condensed financial statements 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 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.

In presenting the consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with US 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance that increased the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists except in certain circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance provides the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held. This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

3. Orbitz Worldwide

The Company accounts for its investment of approximately 44% in Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting and records its share of Orbitz Worldwide’s net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) in its consolidated condensed statements of operations and consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive (loss) income, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $13 million and $19 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $381 million.

11. 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 March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $104 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $41 million relates to the twelve months ending March 31, 2015. These purchase obligations extend through 2017.

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 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 effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

Standard Guarantees/Indemnification

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) licensees of the Company’s 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 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.

12. Equity

Contribution from a Parent Company

In March 2014, Travelport Worldwide acquired $135 million of senior subordinated notes of the Company from the holders of the notes and contributed these to the Company. The Company subsequently cancelled these notes, and the debt was considered as extinguished. The Company recorded the notes received from Travelport Worldwide at their fair value of $137 million as a contribution from its parent company.

13. Equity-Based Compensation

Travelport Worldwide has two equity-based long-term incentive programs the 2011 Travelport Worldwide Equity Plan and 2013 Travelport Worldwide Equity Plan. On January 1, 2014, all of the restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted under the 2011 Worldwide Equity Plan vested.

As of March 31, 2014, the total RSUs that remain unvested were 38.8 million compared to 41.8 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease of approximately 3 million RSUs were primarily as a result of forfeitures.

Compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 resulted in a credit to equity on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet of $1 million and $0 million, respectively.

The Company expects the future equity-based compensation expense in relation to awards recognized for accounting purposes as being granted as of March 31, 2014 will be approximately $12 million based on the fair value of the RSUs and the stock options on the grant date.

14. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Consolidating Condensed Financial Statements

All of the Company’s secured debt and its unsecured senior notes and senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l., as intermediate parent guarantors, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s existing and future domestic 100% owned subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full, unconditional, joint and several.

The following consolidating condensed financial statements presents the Company’s consolidating condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the consolidating condensed statements of comprehensive income loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, consolidating condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the consolidating condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 for: (a) Travelport Limited (the “Parent Guarantor”); (b) Waltonville Limited and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l. (together, the “Intermediate Parent Guarantor”); (c) Travelport LLC (the “Issuer”); (d) the guarantor subsidiaries; (e) the non-guarantor subsidiaries; (f) elimination and adjusting entries necessary to combine the Parent, Intermediate Parent Guarantor and Issuer with the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (g) the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result of the Company’s refinancing plans certain entities previously reported as non-guarantor subsidiaries within the Company’s consolidating condensed financial statements are now presented as guarantor subsidiaries for all periods presented.

In addition, the Company’s secured debt is unconditionally guaranteed by certain existing non-domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries, the net revenue, assets and operating income of which are included in the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

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” on page 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a travel commerce marketplace providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the $7 trillion global travel and tourism industry with a presence in over 170 countries.

During the first quarter of 2014, our management realigned our internal reporting to better reflect the underlying operations and revenue streams. As a consequence of this transformation, we have represented our revenues in line with our focus of enabling travel commerce through our platform. We now present “Travel Commerce Platform” revenue which includes Air and Beyond Air revenue and Technology Services revenue which includes airline hosting. We no longer present “Transaction Processing” revenue and “Airline IT Solutions” revenue. As a result of this, we have also recomputed our performance metric “RevPas” for prior quarters in line with 2014 calculation and presentation. We have only one reporting segment.

Travel Commerce Platform

Our Travel Commerce Platform combines state-of-the-art technology with industry leading features, functionality and innovative solutions to address the high volume and growing transaction processing requirement for the evolving needs of the travel industry.

Air

We provide sophisticated and comprehensive real-time search, pricing, booking, change, payment and integrated itinerary creation for travelers who use the services of online and offline travel agents for both leisure and corporate travel. Our access to corporate travelers, merchandising capabilities and ability to process complex itineraries has recently attracted several fast-growing low cost carriers.

Beyond Air

We have expanded our Travel Commerce Platform with a fast growing portfolio of additional products and services. Our Beyond Air portfolio includes payment solutions, advertising and other platform services. For the hospitality sector of the Travel Industry, we provide distribution and merchandising solutions for hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. We offer the largest inventory of hotel properties on any travel platform in the world and our innovative platform provides a leading distribution and merchandising solution to both chain and independent hotels.

We are an early adopter in automated payments and are redefining payments between travel providers and travel agents. eNett’s core offering is a VAN payment solution that automatically generates unique MasterCard numbers which are in turn used to process global payments.

In addition to distribution and payments, we utilize the broad connections and extensive data managed by our Travel Commerce Platform to provide an array of additional services, such as advertising solutions that allow our travel providers to easily and cost-effectively promote upgrades, ancillary products or services, package deals and/or other offers and, as a result, more effectively merchandise their products and services to targeted customers, subscription services, processing services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.

Technology Services

We provide critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other services, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. We manage reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines. In addition, we own a 51% stake in an outsourced application development services provider InterGlobe Technology in India.

Management Performance Metrics

Our management monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives. We assess our performance using both financial and non-financial measures. As a Travel Commerce Platform, we measure and optimize our growth primarily on the basis of increases in both transaction volume and RevPas. Travel Commerce Platform RevPas is computed by dividing total revenue from our Travel Commerce Platform by the total number of reported segments. We also use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA as performance metric.

The table below sets out our performance metrics:

(1) Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for items we believe potentially restrict our ability to assess the results of our underlying business. Items that have been excluded are amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, corporate costs, equity-based compensation, litigation and related costs, equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and other—non cash items.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as Adjusted Net Income adjusted for depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest expense, net, and provision (benefit) for income taxes.

We have included Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA as they are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. Further Adjusted EBITDA is a key element used to calculate our covenant ratios under our credit agreements and is used by the Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods.

We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures as they allow management to monitor our ongoing core operations. The core operations represent the primary operations of the business. Since our formation, actual results have been significantly affected by events that are unrelated to our ongoing operations due to the number of changes to our business during that time. During the periods presented, these items primarily relate to the impact of purchase accounting, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate our portfolio of businesses, costs associated with our restructuring efforts, non-cash equity-based compensation and litigation and related costs.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operations, as determined under US GAAP. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under US GAAP.

As a travel commerce platform, we measure and optimize our growth primarily on the basis of increase in revenue per reported segment (“RevPas”) processed through our platform combined with measuring total air and non-air segment growth. RevPas represents revenue per segment and is computed by dividing revenue from the Travel Commerce Platform by number of segments. As a result of realignment of revenue streams in the first quarter of 2014, certain revenue forming part of “Transaction processing revenue” is now a part of Technology Services and certain revenue forming part of “Airline IT Solutions” is now part of Travel Commerce Platform. As a result, our RevPas reported for earlier period has been recomputed to align with current period methodology.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted Net Income and to Adjusted EBITDA:

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Geographic Mix: We believe we are the most geographically balanced participant in the travel distribution industry. While we are exposed to potential fluctuations or trends in a country or a region we are not overly sensitive to changes in any particular country or region. Our geographically dispersed footprint provides strategic protection from regional instability, allows for optimal IT efficiency, enhances our value proposition to travel providers and positions us to capture higher value business from travel providers operating in away markets, which results in higher per transaction revenue for both us and the travel providers we serve. Some of the regions where we currently operate, such as Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East, are expected to experience growth in travel that is greater than the global average due to factors such as economic growth and a growing middle class, while other regions, such as the US, are mature and stable. As these emerging travel regions may grow at a higher rate than mature regions, the geographic distribution of our revenue may similarly shift.

Orbitz Worldwide: Orbitz Worldwide is currently our largest travel agent customer. Our relationship with Orbitz Worldwide can have a material impact on our results. In February 2014, we entered into a new subscriber services agreement under which Orbitz Worldwide will use our GDS services in the US and other countries. Under the new agreement, which replaced our existing agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, we will pay

Table of Contents

incremental benefits in 2014 and further increased fees in later years for each air, car and hotel segment. In addition, Orbitz Worldwide will receive wider flexibility to use alternative GDS providers for GDS services beginning in 2015. In exchange for the enhanced payments, Orbitz Worldwide agreed to generate a minimum specified book of business through our GDS and to pay a shortfall payment if the minimum volume is not met. Due to the increase in payments payable to Orbitz Worldwide under the new agreement, we expect a negative impact on our 2014 cash flow attributable to this agreement and no impact to our 2014 Adjusted EBITDA. From 2015 onwards, the combination of increased payments and greater flexibility for Orbitz Worldwide will have a greater impact on both our earnings and cash flow.

Seasonality: The revenue of our business can experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. These trends generally cause our revenue to be higher in the first and second quarters of the calendar year. Revenue typically peaks during these times as travelers plan and purchase their upcoming spring and summer travel. Revenue typically declines in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year.

Foreign Exchange Movements: We are exposed to movements in currency exchange rates that impact our operating results. While substantially all of our revenue is denominated in US dollars, we have euro denominated debt and a portion of our costs are denominated in other currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar). These costs primarily relate to commissions paid in these regions. We use foreign currency derivative contracts including forward contracts and currency options to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated debt, receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency contracts largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk 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.

Litigation and related costs: We are involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. We believe we have adequately accrued for such matters, and for costs of defending against such matters. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although we believe that our accruals are adequate and we have valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

International

Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased $24 million (7%) due to a 4% increase in segments and a 3% increase in RevPas. The RevPas increase across the regions was a result of growing our ancillary Air revenue, including our premium functionality services, and Beyond Air offerings, including growth in payment solutions, hospitality and advertising.

Asia Pacific

Revenue in Asia Pacific increased $7 million (7%) due to a 3% increase in segments and a 4% increase in RevPas. Segment volumes increased primarily due to increased segments in South Korea and Australia. RevPas increased due to growth in our Beyond Air including increased revenue in eNett.

Europe

Revenue in Europe increased $14 million (8%) due to a 5% increase in segments and a 3% increase in RevPas. Segment volumes increased primarily due to increased segments in Western Europe, with strong growth in the United Kingdom, Italy and Greece. RevPas increased due to growth in our Beyond Air including increased revenue in eNett.

Latin America and Canada

Revenue in Latin America and Canada increased $1 million (4%) due to a 3% increase in segments and a 1% increase in RevPas. Segment volumes increased due to continued expansion of our content offerings in Canada.

Middle East and Africa

Revenue in the Middle East and Africa increased $2 million (3%) due to a 3% increase in segments with RevPas remaining flat. Segment volumes increased due to growth in volumes in the Middle East.

United States

Revenue in the United States increased $1 million (less than 1%) primarily due to 1% increase in RevPas with minor increases in both Air and Beyond Air revenues.

Technology Services

Technology Services revenue decreased by $1 million (1%) due to a decline in revenue from our development operations.

Cost of revenue increased by $20 million (6%) primarily as a result of $19 million (7%) incremental commission costs. Commissions paid to travel agencies increased due to a 5% increase in travel distribution cost per segment, a 2% increase in segment volumes and incremental commission costs from our payment processing business. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of $18 million and $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services, increased by $1 million (1%).

Table of Contents

March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for items that are adjusted out of Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these adjustments, our SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $2 million (2%). Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel remained flat. Non-workforce expenses, which include costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased $2 million (15%).

The adjustments of $2 million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represent non-core corporate costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, litigation and related costs and foreign currency gains and losses related to euro denominated debt and derivatives. The decrease in adjustments of $4 million is due to a $10 million reduction in litigation costs, offset by $4 million lower unrealized foreign exchange gains on euro denominated debt and derivatives and a $2 million increase in corporate costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Total depreciation and amortization increased by $4 million (6%). Depreciation on property and equipment increased $5 million primarily due to a higher capitalized cost of internally developed software, which has increased from $633 million at March 31, 2013 to $686 million at March 31, 2014 as we continue to develop our systems to enhance our Travel Commerce Platform. Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased by $1 million, as the useful lives have begun to expire on a portion of the assets acquired on the sale of Travelport to Blackstone in 2006 and the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, increased by $13 million (18%) due to higher effective interest rates on our debt as a result of our debt refinancing in 2013.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we cancelled $135 million of our senior subordinated notes, contributed to us by our indirect parent company, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision differs significantly from the US Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance established in the US due to the historical losses in that jurisdiction, and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax under the relevant jurisdictions.

Equity in (Losses) Earnings of Investment in Orbitz Worldwide

Our share of equity in losses of investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to earnings of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These (losses) earnings reflect our 44 % (46% in 2013) ownership interest in Orbitz Worldwide.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) cash flows generated from operations and (iii) borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents, cash held as collateral and revolving credit facility availability were as follows:

 

(in $ millions)    March 31, 2014  

Cash and cash equivalents

     180   

Cash held as collateral

     79   

Revolver availability

     70   

In the event we require additional funding, there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

A significant concentration of our cash is in geographic locations that have no legal or tax limitations on its usage. We have efficient mechanisms in place to deploy cash as needed to fund operations and capital needs across all of our locations worldwide. We utilize cash and cash equivalents, including cash generated from operations, primarily to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, invest in our products and Travel Commerce Platform assets, and service our debt, including any mandatory or voluntary principal repayments of debt, repurchases of debt and payments of other long-term liabilities. With the cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated condensed balance sheets, 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.

Cash Flow

We believe an important measure of our liquidity is unlevered adjusted free cash flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe unlevered adjusted free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We define unlevered adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, adjusted to remove the impact of interest payments and cash paid for other adjusting items which we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations and to deduct capital expenditures on property and equipment additions including capital lease repayments. We believe this measure gives management and investors a better understanding of the cash flows generated by our underlying business, as our interest payments are primarily related to the debt incurred in relation to previous business acquisitions, cash paid for other adjusting items are unrelated to the underlying business and our capital expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platforms.

In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure as we believe it is a useful measure to our investors to assess our ability to comply with certain debt covenants, including our maximum leverage ratios. Our total leverage ratio under our credit agreements is computed by dividing the total debt (as defined under these credit agreements) at the balance sheet date by a number which is broadly computed from the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $180 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $26 million compared to December 31, 2013. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $23 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $44 million is primarily a result of (i) higher interest payments of $31 million in 2013 and (ii) higher payments related to other adjusting items of $11 million in 2013; partially offset by (iii) $14 million increase in customer loyalty payments.

Investing activities. The cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $36 million compared to $23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $13 million primarily relates to our investment of $10 million to acquire a 49% equity interest in an entity, which we account for as equity method investment.

Our capital expenditure for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

Cash additions to software developed for internal use represent the continuing development of our systems to enhance our Travel Commerce Platform. Our expenditures have been focused in key areas, including investing in our data center by implementing zTPF software on our mainframes, the development of our uAPI that underpins our new and existing applications, Smartpoint, our innovative booking solution delivering multisource content and pricing, and the Travelport Merchandising Platform to allow airlines to showcase their content in travel agency workflows.

Cash additions to computer equipment is primarily for our continuing investment in our data center.

Capital leases for computer equipment represents the investment we have made in the equipment within the data center.

Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $39 million. This primarily comprised of (i) $50 million proceeds from new revolver borrowings; offset by (ii) $4 million of term loan repayments and (iii) $7 million of capital lease payments. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $42 million. This primarily comprised of (i) $53 million proceeds from revolver borrowings; offset by (ii) $7 million of payments related to derivative contracts and (iii) $4 million of capital lease payments.

In March 2014, Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Travelport Worldwide”), our indirect parent company, acquired $43 million of our outstanding dollar denominated senior subordinated notes and $92 million (€67 million) of euro denominated senior subordinated notes in exchange for its common shares. Travelport Worldwide contributed these senior subordinated notes to us, which were subsequently cancelled. We recorded this transaction as extinguishment of debt and recognized a loss of $5 million in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we (i) repaid $4 million as our quarterly repayment of term loans (ii) accreted $1 million as interest expense towards repayment fee of Tranche 1 loans, (iii) amortized $2 million as discount on term loans, (iv) capitalized $1 million related to payment-in-kind interest into senior notes and (v) repaid $7 million under our capital lease obligations and entered into $5 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.

We have a $120 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks under our senior secured credit agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we borrowed $50 million under this facility, all of which remained outstanding as of March 31, 2014, and we had $70 million of remaining borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

We have a $137 million of cash collateralized letters of credit facility, maturing in June 2018. The terms under the letters of credit facility provide that 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2014, $77 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of the facility, against which we have provided $79 million as cash collateral, and we have $60 million of remaining capacity under our letters of credit facility.

Travelport LLC, our indirect 100% owned subsidiary, is the borrower (the “Borrower”) under our long-term debt arrangements. All obligations under our long-term debt arrangements are unconditionally guaranteed by Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l., as intermediate parent guarantors, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future domestic 100% owned subsidiaries. In addition, our secured debt is unconditionally guaranteed by certain existing non-domestic 100% owned subsidiaries. All obligations under our secured debt, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all the following assets of the Borrower and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrower, 100% of the capital stock of each guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of each of our 100% owned non-US subsidiaries that are directly owned by us or one of the guarantors; and (ii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and each U.S. guarantor subject to additional collateral and guarantee obligations.

Total debt per our credit agreements and indentures is broadly defined as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted EBITDA is defined under our debt covenants as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of interest expense, net, tax, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide, impact of purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and intangibles assets, amortization of customer loyalty payments, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate Travelport’s portfolio of businesses, costs associated with our restructuring efforts, non-cash equity-based compensation, unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and other adjustments made to exclude expenses viewed as outside the normal course of operations.

As of March 31, 2014, our total leverage ratio was 6.25 compared to the maximum total leverage ratio allowable of 7.15; our total senior secured leverage ratio was 4.76 compared to the maximum total senior secured leverage ratio allowable of 5.15; our cash balance was $180 million; and we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our long-term debt. Under the terms of our debt arrangements, the maximum total leverage ratio with which we need to comply remains at 7.15 until June 30, 2014 and thereafter reduces to 6.95 until December 31, 2014; and the total senior secured leverage ratio with which we need to comply remains at 5.15 until December 31, 2014.

Based on our current financial forecast, we believe we will continue to be in compliance with, or be able to avoid an event of default under the credit agreements and the indentures governing our notes and meet our cash flow needs during the next 12 months. In the event of an unanticipated adverse variance compared to the financial forecast, which might lead to an event of default, we have the opportunity to take certain mitigating actions in order to avoid such a default, including: reducing or deferring discretionary expenditure; selling assets; re-negotiating financial covenants; and securing additional sources of finance or investment. In the unlikely event our results of operations are significantly lower than our forecast and our mitigating actions are unsuccessful, this could result in a breach of one or more of our financial covenants, including the leverage ratio covenants. Under such circumstances, it is possible we would be required to repay all our secured debt and unsecured notes outstanding. We may not have the ability to repay such amounts.

Subsequent to our comprehensive refinancing in 2013, substantially all of our debt is now scheduled for repayment on or after January 2016. However, the term loans maturing in June 2019 and the revolver availability through June 2018 are subject to a reduction in maturity to November 2015, December 2015, June 2016 or September 2016 if we are unable to repay or refinance our debt outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or our unsecured debt prior to their maturity dates. We may not have the ability to repay such amounts.

We continue to assess and evaluate potential capital markets transactions, including potential debt-for-equity exchanges and similar transactions. We can give no assurances that we will pursue or consummate such transactions as they are dependent, among other things, on market conditions and other factors that are inherently unpredictable.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

A portion of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt and to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our euro denominated debt. The primary interest rate exposure during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was due to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. We currently use interest rate caps and foreign currency derivative contracts, including derivative contracts and currency options, as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies.

We also 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 Australian dollar.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exposures were designated as accounting hedges except for interest rate cap derivative instruments. The fluctuations in the fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded as a component of interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Losses on these interest rate derivative financial instruments amounted to $0 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair value of foreign currency derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Gains (losses) on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $2 million and $(14) million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risks they are intended to economically hedge.

In 2013, we entered into interest rate cap derivative contracts to cap the USLIBOR rate at 1.5%. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge the risk of increase in interest costs on our floating rate debt due to an increase in USLIBOR rates. We have designated these interest rate cap derivative contracts as accounting cash flow hedges and recorded the effective portion of changes in fair value of these derivative contracts, amounting to a loss of $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as a component of other comprehensive loss.

As of March 31, 2014, our interest rate cap contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years. All other contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed one year. As of March 31, 2014, we had a net asset position of $10 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

As of March 31, 2014, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2013 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014, except that $135 million of our senior subordinated notes, which were due to mature in September 2016, were exchanged and contributed to us by Travelport Worldwide and were subsequently cancelled by us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and a 10% change (increase and decrease) in the exchange rates of underlying currencies being hedged, against the US dollar as of March 31, 2014. We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures that potential impact on earnings, fair values and cash flows. There are certain limitations inherent in this sensitivity analyses as our overall market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the volatility present within markets and the liquidity of markets. These “shock tests” are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include complex market reactions normally arising from the market shifts modeled.

We assess our interest rate market risk utilizing a sensitivity analysis based on our interest rate derivatives and a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates. We have determined, through such analysis, that the impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates as of March 31, 2014 would not be material on our earnings. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, the impact of a 10% increase in foreign currency exchange rate with respect to the British Pound, Euro and Australian dollar and a 10% decrease in foreign currency exchange rate with respect to the same currencies would not be material on our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The material changes in our exposure to market risks have been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014.

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.

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 effective.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
