Debt paydown related to the sale of Hospitality Solutions business
Following the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale on July 3, 2025, we used the net proceeds primarily to repay a portion of our then-outstanding indebtedness, including repayments under our (i) then-outstanding 2021 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $158 million, (ii) then-outstanding 2022 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $164 million, (iii) then-outstanding 2022 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $178 million, and (iv) 2024 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $299 million, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 19, 2013 (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $14 million in discontinued operations within our results of operations, primarily consisting of unamortized debt issuance cost and
discount associated with these prepayments. Interest expense associated with the principal indebtedness that was repaid is classified as discontinued operations within our results of operations in the prior year period.
Refinancing Transactions
On December 9, 2025, we entered into a tenth and eleventh amendment (together, the “2025 Term Loan B Amendments”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated pursuant to which Sabre GLBL agreed to exchange $347 million of the then-existing senior secured term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) for $375 million of new senior secured term loans maturing on July 30, 2029 (the “2025 Term Loans”). The 2025 Term Loan B Amendments included the application of the proceeds of a new $288 million and $87 million term loan “B” facility (the “2025 Term Loan B-1” and the”2025 Term Loan B-2”, respectively), borrowed by Sabre GLBL under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with the effect of extending the maturity of approximately $347 million of the existing Term Loan B credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Sabre GLBL did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange. We incurred third-party fees of approximately $5 million plus $2 million of accrued and unpaid interest, which were paid in cash, during the year ending December 31, 2025. We determined that the Term Loan B Amendments represent a debt modification and therefore we expensed all $5 million of third-party costs, to other, net in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are included in cash flow from operations as paid. The 2025 Term Loan B-1 and 2025 Term Loan B-2 mature on July 30, 2029. They offer us the ability to prepay or repay with a 1.0% call premium on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the amendment effective date, or without a call premium thereafter. The 2025 Term Loans bear interest at term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 625 basis points, or at base rate, plus an applicable margin of 525 basis points. The term SOFR for the 2025 Term Loans is subject to a floor of 0.50% per annum and the base rate is subject to a floor of 1.50% per annum. Except for the extended maturity and new pricing terms, the 2025 Term Loans have substantially similar terms as the Existing Term Loans, including guarantees and security interests.
On December 24, 2025, $233 million of our 2021 Term Loan B-1, $146 million of our 2021 Term Loan B-2, $135 million of our 2022 Term Loan B-1 and $113 million of our 2022 Term Loan B-2 was paid off with a portion of the proceeds borrowed under the 2025 Pari Passu Loan Agreement (as defined below). In connection with these paydowns, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $5 million, consisting of the write off of unamortized discount of $4 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $1 million.
Financial Covenants
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the loan parties are subject to certain customary non-financial covenants, including restrictions on incurring certain types of indebtedness, creation of liens on certain assets, making of certain investments, and payment of dividends. We are further required to pay down the term loans with proceeds from certain asset sales, if not reinvested into the business within 15 months, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

In June 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the first interest payments associated with $250 million of certain of our term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the periods through June 2026. In January 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the first interest payments associated with $250 million of certain of our term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement related to the years 2024 and 2025. We designated these swaps as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. In 2026, we recognized an immaterial cash flow impact related to our interest rate swaps, which is reported as cash provided by operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Senior Secured Notes
On June 4, 2025, Sabre GLBL issued $1.325 billion aggregate principal amount of 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “July 2030 Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance were used (i) to fully prepay $900 million of our then-outstanding principal under the 2023 intercompany secured term loan agreement (the "2023 Pari Passu Loan Agreement") with Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC (“Sabre FB”), our indirect, consolidated subsidiary, which applied such amounts toward full prepayment of Sabre FB’s then-outstanding senior secured term loan due 2028; and (ii) to repurchase $325 million in principal amount of our then-outstanding 8.625% senior secured notes due 2027 (the "June 2027 Notes") (the “June 2025 Refinancing”). Interest on the July 2030 Notes is due semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026, at a rate of 11.125% per year, and the notes mature on July 15, 2030. As a result of the refinancing, Sabre GLBL incurred additional indebtedness of $100 million. In connection with the June 2025 Refinancing, we repaid an aggregate of $1.225 billion in outstanding principal, $44 million in related fees, $34 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $27 million in third-party fees. We concluded that the June 2025 Refinancing represented a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $85 million. Cash proceeds from the new issuance, payments for the debt principal prepayment (excluding previously capitalized interest amounts) as well as third-party costs and fees paid to lenders that were directly related to the debt extinguishment were reflected as financing cash flows within our consolidated statements of cash flows as of December 31, 2025. Payments associated with interest previously capitalized are reflected as operating cash flows within our consolidated statement of cash flows as of December 31, 2025. The July 2030 Notes are jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by Sabre Holdings and all of Sabre GLBL’s restricted subsidiaries that guarantee Sabre GLBL’s credit facilities governed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
In December 2025, Sabre FB entered into a series of transactions governing Sabre FB's newly issued 11.125% senior secured notes due 2029 (the “June 2029 Notes”) and an intercompany loan agreement (the "2025 Pari Passu Loan Agreement"). The June 2029 Notes were issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion, subject to Sabre FB using the proceeds from the June 2029 Notes for an intercompany loan to Sabre GLBL. On December 5, 2025, Sabre FB borrowed the full $1 billion amount under the June 2029 Notes and lent the funds to Sabre GLBL under the 2025 Pari Passu Loan Agreement. Sabre FB’s obligations under the June 2029 Notes are required to be guaranteed on a secured basis by Sabre Financing Holdings LLC (“Sabre Financing”) and, up to an amount of $400 million certain of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries (the “Foreign Guarantors”). The June 2029 Notes pay interest semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2026, at a rate of 11.125% per year, and will mature on June 15, 2029. The proceeds of $1 billion received from the sale of the June 2029 Notes were used to repay $627 million of our outstanding term loans and $287 million of our existing senior secured notes (inclusive of $93 million that were redeemed in the first quarter of 2026), plus $15 million of accrued interest and $13 million of third party costs related to these transactions (refer to the 2025 Term Loan B Amendments above and December 2025 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction defined below for more details). The remaining proceeds were partially used to pay $19 million in debt issuance costs.
On December 8, 2025, Sabre GLBL exchanged approximately $379 million in principal amount of our 10.750% senior secured notes due November 2029 (the “November 2029 Notes”), $240 million in principal amount of the June 2027 Notes and $44 million in principal amount of our 11.250% senior secured notes due December 2027 (the “December 2027 Notes”) for approximately $470 million of new 10.750% senior secured notes due March 2030 (the “March 2030 Notes”) and $237 million in cash, inclusive of early exchange consideration, which was recorded as a discount (the "December 2025 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction"). The March 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.750% per annum, and interest payments are due semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2026. The March 2030 Notes mature on March 15, 2030. We incurred $7 million in fees, along with $11 million in accrued and unpaid interest. We determined that the December 2025 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction, including the impact of the early exchange consideration, represents a debt modification and therefore, expensed $7 million of debt modification costs in other, net in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and included in cash flow from operations as paid. The March 2030 Notes are jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by Sabre Holdings and all of Sabre GLBL’s restricted subsidiaries that guarantee Sabre GLBL’s credit facilities governed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
On December 23, 2025, we issued a notice of full redemption to redeem all $92 million in aggregate principal amount of the June 2027 Notes on March 1, 2026 for a redemption price equal to 102.156% of the aggregate principal amount of the June 2027 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued, but unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date. On December 23, 2025, we irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited funds in trust solely for the benefit of holders of the June 2027 Notes of $98 million, which is an amount sufficient to fully pay the redemption price. The $98 million is presented in restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and is made up of the following: $92 million principal amount due, $2 million call premium and $4 million of accrued interest through February 28, 2026. On March 1, 2026, we completed the redemption of the June 2027 Notes at the redemption price described above and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The debt was repaid by the trustee at the early call price on March 2, 2026 under the terms of the notes.
On January 22, 2026, we repaid the outstanding balance of our December 2027 Notes of $2 million in full, inclusive of redemption premiums and accrued and unpaid interest.
Securitization Facility
On February 14, 2023, Sabre Securitization, LLC, our indirect, consolidated subsidiary and a special purpose entity (“Sabre Securitization”), entered into a three-year committed accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended from time to time the “Securitization Facility”) of up to $200 million with PNC Bank, N.A.
On March 29, 2024, Sabre Securitization increased the overall size of the existing Securitization Facility from $200 million to $235 million by issuing a $120 million "first-in, last-out" term loan tranche under the Securitization Facility (such tranche, the "FILO Facility") and reducing the revolving tranche under the Securitization Facility to $115 million (such tranche, the "AR Facility"). In connection with the issuance of the FILO Facility, the maturity date of the Securitization Facility was extended to March 29, 2027 and the springing maturity date thereunder was terminated. The FILO Facility provides the ability to prepay or repay at certain redemption premiums as set forth in the agreement. The net proceeds received from the FILO Facility of $117 million, net of $3 million in fees paid to creditors, will be used for general corporate purposes. We incurred additional fees of $4 million, which were funded with cash on hand.
On July 3, 2025, we repaid $23 million of the outstanding balance on our Securitization Facility due to the removal of receivables related to the Hospitality Solutions business.
The amount available for borrowings at any one time under the Securitization Facility is limited to a borrowing base calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible receivables, subject to certain reserves. As of March 31, 2026, we had $203 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility, consisting of $83 million under the AR Facility and $120 million outstanding under the FILO Facility.
The FILO Facility bears interest at SOFR plus a drawn fee of 8.00% per annum. Interest and fees payable by Sabre Securitization under the FILO Facility are due monthly.
Borrowings under the AR Facility bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR, subject to a 0% floor, plus a drawn fee, initially in the amount of 2.25%, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment. In connection with the issuance of the FILO Facility, the initial drawn fee rate was increased from 2.25% to 4.00%. The drawn fee rate, which was 3.75% as of March 31, 2026, varies based on our leverage ratio. Sabre Securitization also pays a fee on the undrawn committed amount of the AR Facility. Interest and fees payable by Sabre Securitization under the AR Facility are due monthly. Unamortized net debt issuance costs related to our AR Facility are immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and $1 million as of December 31, 2025, which are recorded in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the Securitization Facility, certain of our subsidiaries (the “Originators”) have sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, substantially all of their accounts receivable and certain related assets (collectively, the “Receivables”) to Sabre Securitization to be held as collateral for borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Sabre Securitization’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of Sabre Corporation or any of its affiliates. Under the terms of the Securitization Facility, the lenders under the AR Facility and FILO Facility would have a senior priority claim to the assets of Sabre Securitization, which will primarily consist of the Receivables of the Originators participating in the Securitization Facility. As of March 31, 2026, $316 million of Receivables are held as assets by Sabre Securitization, consisting of $309 million of accounts receivable and $7 million of other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets.
The Securitization Facility is accounted for as a secured borrowing on a consolidated basis, rather than a sale of assets; as a result, (i) Receivables balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, (ii) our consolidated statements of operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged Receivables and interest expense associated with the Securitization Facility and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying Receivables are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the Securitization Facility are reflected as financing cash flows within our consolidated statements of cash flows. The receivables and other assets of Sabre Securitization are not available to satisfy creditors of any entity other than Sabre Securitization.
The Securitization Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, subject to certain cure periods in some cases, including the eligibility of the Receivables being sold by the Originators and securing the loans made by the lenders, as well as customary reserve requirements, events of default, termination events, and servicer defaults. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Securitization Facility.
Exchangeable Notes
On March 19, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged $150 million aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 2025 Exchangeable Notes for $150 million aggregate principal amount of Sabre GLBL's newly-issued 7.32% senior exchangeable notes due 2026 (the "2026 Exchangeable Notes" and, together with the previously outstanding 4.000% senior exchangeable notes due 2025 (the “2025 Exchangeable Notes”), the "Exchangeable Notes") and approximately $30 million of cash (the "March 2024 Exchangeable Notes Exchange Transaction"). We incurred additional fees of approximately $5 million in associated fees and expenses plus $3 million of accrued and unpaid interest, all of which were funded with cash on hand. We determined that the March 2024 Exchangeable Notes Exchange Transaction, including the impact of the exchange fees, represents a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $31 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. We did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange and did not incur additional indebtedness in excess of the aggregate principal amount of existing notes that were exchanged. The 2026 Exchangeable Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Sabre GLBL, accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1 2024, and mature on August 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged in accordance with specified circumstances and terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Exchangeable Notes (the "2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture"). As of March 31, 2026, we have $150 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Exchangeable Notes outstanding.
Under the terms of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the 2026 Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable into common stock of Sabre Corporation (referred to as our common stock” herein) at the following times or circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the Measurement Period”) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, as determined following a request by a holder in accordance with the procedures in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the exchange rate on such trading day;
upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, including but not limited to a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture);
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or
on or after February 1, 2026, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, August 1, 2026. During this “free exchangeability period,” we intend to apply the “default settlement method”. This method is combination settlement with a specified dollar amount of $1,000. Under this approach, we will pay up to the principal amount in cash and settle any excess exchange value in shares of common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares), with the amounts determined over a forty consecutive volume-weighted average price trading day observation period preceding the August 1, 2026 maturity date. On the August 1, 2026 maturity date, the principal amount of any outstanding 2026 Exchangeable Notes must be repaid in cash.
With certain exceptions, upon a Change of Control or other Fundamental Change (both as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture), the holders of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes may require us to repurchase all or part of the principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. As of March 31, 2026, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes to exchange have been met.
The 2026 Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at their holder’s election into shares of our common stock based on an initial exchange rate of 222.2222 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $4.50 per share. The exchange rate is subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments. Upon exchange, Sabre GLBL will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. If a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the
2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occurred with respect to any 2026 Exchangeable Note and the exchange date for the exchange of such 2026 Exchangeable Note occurred during the related “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Exchange Period” (as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture), then, subject to the provisions set forth in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the exchange rate applicable to such exchange would have been increased by a number of shares set forth in the table contained in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, based on a function of the time since origination and our stock price on the date of the occurrence of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Debt issuance costs are amortized over the contractual life of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes through interest expense, within our results from continuing operations. The effective interest rate at March 31, 2026 was 8.82% for the 2026 Exchangeable Notes. The effective interest rates at March 31, 2025 were 4.78% and 8.82% for the 2025 Exchangeable Notes and the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, respectively.
