FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties. Many of the statements appear, in particular, in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Forward-looking statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “potential”, “should”, “will” and “would” or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future priorities, goals, strategies, actions to improve business performance, market growth assumptions and expectations, new products, product pricing, changes to our business processes, future business opportunities, capital expenditures, financing needs, financial position and other information that is not historical information. References within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “our” or “us” means Travelport Limited, a Bermuda company, and its subsidiaries.

The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results 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 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, including our ability to renew our existing agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, 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, including our universal desktop product;

 

 

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

 

 

our ability to grow adjacencies, such as our acquisition of Sprice and our controlling interest in eNett;

 

 

general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies, particularly 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, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2013, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2013, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2013, 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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, 2012 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 (the “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.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 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, apart from disclosure.

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.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on reporting of significant items that are reclassified to net income (loss) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and disclosures for items not reclassified to net income (loss). This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2013, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, apart from disclosure.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments including derivatives. This guidance requires disclosure of both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2013, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, apart from disclosure.

In January 2013, the FASB amended this guidance to reduce the scope of assets and liabilities covered by the disclosure requirements. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, apart from disclosure.

3. Orbitz Worldwide

The Company accounts for its investment of approximately 45% 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 statement of operations and consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income, respectively. The Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide has been diluted from its investment of approximately 46% to approximately 45% during 2013 primarily as a result of the issuance of shares by Orbitz Worldwide under its equity incentive plan.

3. Orbitz Worldwide (continued)

Presented below are the summary results of operations for Orbitz Worldwide for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company reduced its investment in Orbitz Worldwide to $0 because its share of Orbitz Worldwide’s net loss exceeded the carrying value. The Company also discontinued applying the equity method of accounting as the Company had no commitment that was probable to be incurred to provide additional funding to Orbitz Worldwide. However, in the first quarter of 2013, the Company resumed the equity method of accounting as its share of net income from Orbitz Worldwide exceeded the share of net loss not recognized during the period for which equity accounting was suspended.

In the first quarter of 2013, Orbitz Worldwide concluded that a significant portion of its US valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was no longer required, resulting in the recognition of a benefit from income taxes of $158 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The Company recorded earnings of $6 million and $8 million related to its investment in Orbitz Worldwide for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, within the equity in earnings of investment in Orbitz Worldwide on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded earnings of $7 million and $6 million, respectively, within the equity in earnings of investment in Orbitz Worldwide on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Net revenue disclosed above includes approximately $18 million and $60 million of net revenue earned by Orbitz Worldwide through transactions with the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Net revenue disclosed above includes approximately $21 million and $72 million of net revenue earned by Orbitz Worldwide through transactions with the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had balances payable to Orbitz Worldwide of approximately $14 million and $5 million, respectively, which are included on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Customer loyalty payments are payments made to travel agents or travel providers with an objective of increasing the number of travel bookings using the Company’s GDS and to improve the travel agents’ or travel providers’ loyalty, which are instrumented through agreements with a term over a year. Under the contractual terms, the travel agent or travel provider commits to achieve certain economic objectives for the Company. Such costs are specifically identifiable to individual contracts with travel agents or travel providers, which have

determinable contractual lives. Due to the contractual nature of the payments, the Company believes that such assets are more appropriately classified as internally developed identifiable intangible assets and, as a result, the Company has presented them within intangible assets with conforming changes to prior periods. As of December 31 2012, the Company included $50 million and $68 million as development advances within other current assets and other non-current assets, respectively, which have been re-classed as other intangible assets to conform to current period presentation.

Amortization expense for acquired customer relationships was $61 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and is included as a component of depreciation and amortization on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Amortization expense for customer loyalty payments was $45 million and $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included within revenue or cost of revenue in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

approximately $185 million of new senior floating rate notes due March 2016 (together with the new senior fixed rate notes, the “Senior Notes”), bearing cash interest of LIBOR plus 6.125% and 2.5% of interest payable as payment-in-kind interest (the “Senior Notes Exchange Offers”). In connection with the Senior Notes Exchange Offers, the holders of the new Senior Notes provided a waiver and release of all claims asserted related to the Company’s refinancing in 2011. To facilitate the transactions:

 

 

The Company entered into a new second lien secured credit agreement (“Second Lien Credit Agreement”) and issued $630 million of Tranche 1 second priority secured loans, at a discount of 1%, due January 2016 (the “Tranche 1 Loans”). The cash proceeds were used to (i) repay $175 million of indebtedness outstanding under the credit agreement dated as of May 8, 2012 (the “2012 Secured Credit Agreement”), (ii) repay in cash $393 million as part of the Senior Notes Exchange Offers, and (iii) pay consent fees in connection with the Senior Notes Exchange Offers and consent solicitations. The Tranche 1 Loans bear cash interest of LIBOR plus 8%, with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.5%. During May 2013, the Company further borrowed $15 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to redeem the outstanding senior notes held by holders who did not participate in the Senior Notes Exchange Offers. Tranche 1 Loans are subject to a 2% repayment fee, which is accreted as interest expense over the term of the loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $2 million was accreted into the outstanding loan amount.

 

 

The Company completed an exchange offer for its existing Second Priority Secured Notes due December 2016 for an equal principal amount of new term loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement due December 2016 (the “Tranche 2 Loans”). The Tranche 2 Loans bear interest of 8.375% (cash interest of 4% and payment-in-kind interest of 4.375%).

 

 

The Company paid a consent fee to holders of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes in exchange for a waiver and release of all claims asserted in connection with the Company’s refinancing in 2011 and amended certain restrictive covenants under the indentures for the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

 

The Company’s direct parent holding company, Travelport Holdings Limited (“Travelport Holdings”), acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche A Loans in exchange for (i) approximately 43.3% of the equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), a parent company indirectly owning 100% of the Company, and (ii) $25 million of newly issued 11.875% Senior Subordinated Notes of the Company due September 2016, and acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche B Loans in exchange for approximately 34.6% of the equity of Worldwide.

In June 2013, the Company amended and restated its Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, (i) refinanced in full the outstanding term loans, revolver borrowings and other commitments with the proceeds of a new $1,554 million term loan facility issued at a discount of 1.5% with a maturity date of June 2019 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 5% (with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (ii) provides for a new $120 million super priority revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 2018 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.25% (with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (iii) provides for incremental term loan facilities subject to a 3.1 to 1.0 first lien leverage ratio test; (iv) amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to add back amortization of customer loyalty payments; and (v) amended certain financial covenants, including the total leverage ratio, the senior secured leverage ratio, the minimum liquidity ratio and limitations on indebtedness, investments and restricted payments. The Company is required to repay the term loans in quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount of $1,554 million (adjusted for any subsequent prepayments), commencing September 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repaid $4 million as its first quarterly repayment, and $2 million of discount was amortized.

9. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

In June 2013, the Company amended its Second Lien Credit Agreement to amend the definitions of (i) Consolidated EBITDA; (ii) total leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio; and (iii) certain other definitions to conform to the amendments in Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As a result of the above comprehensive refinancings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $49 million, which comprised of $39 million of written-off of unamortized debt finance costs, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

Pursuant to the Sixth Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement, the Company’s total revolving credit facility is $120 million all of which remains undrawn as of September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company borrowed $53 million and repaid $73 million under its revolving credit facility.

As a result of the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the $13 million of synthetic letter of credit facility was terminated. Further, the $133 million of letter of credit facility, which was collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash funded from Tranche S loans, was also terminated and replaced with a new $137 million cash collateralized letter of credit facility, maturing in June 2018. The terms under the new letters of credit facility provide that 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2013, $62 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of the new facility, against which the Company had provided $64 million as cash collateral, and the Company had $75 million of remaining capacity under its letters of credit facility.

Pursuant to its separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, the Company was committed to provide up to $75 million of letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. However, subsequent to April 15, 2013, the date on which the Company completed its comprehensive refinancing, the Company and Orbitz Worldwide ceased to be controlled by affiliates of Blackstone, and the Company is no longer obligated to maintain or issue new letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. As of September 30, 2013, there were no significant letters of credit issued by the Company on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide, and substantially all of the previously issued letters of credit were cancelled.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $6 million of payment-in-kind interest was capitalized into the Second Priority Secured Notes and Senior Notes. In addition, $10 million of payment-in-kind interest was accrued for the Senior Notes and Tranche 2 Loans and included within other non-current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company repaid $14 million under its capital lease obligations, terminated $1 million of capital leases and entered into $10 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.

Foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a $6 million increase in the principal amount of euro denominated loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

10. Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there has been no material change in the Company’s interest rate and foreign currency risk management policies or in its fair value methodology, except as mentioned below.

In August 2013, the Company’s interest rate swap derivative contracts expired and it 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 an increase in interest costs on the Company’s floating rate debt due to an increase in USLIBOR rates. The Company has designated these interest rate cap derivative contracts as accounting cash flow hedges and records the effective portion of changes in fair value of these derivative contracts as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) with the ineffective portion recognized in earnings in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Further, with the comprehensive refinancing during the second quarter of 2013 and the repayment of euro denominated debt, the Company has lower foreign exchange risk related to its euro denominated debt compared to prior periods.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a net asset position of $15 million related to derivative financial instruments associated with its euro denominated or floating rate debt, its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

Presented below is a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid $7 million in relation to certain foreign currency derivative contracts which were terminated in 2012 and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities as at December 31, 2012.

The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are probability of default of approximately 3% and a recovery rate of 20%, which are applied to the Company’s credit default swap adjustments. As the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives is less than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivate instruments for two consecutive quarters, the Company has categorized derivative fair valuations at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

A 10% change in the significant unobservable inputs will not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2013.

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 September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $132 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $46 million relates to the twelve months ending September 30, 2014. These purchase obligations extend through 2017.

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 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.

On March 12, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve its outstanding litigation with American Airlines and entered into a new long-term distribution agreement. This settlement was approved by the court overseeing the American Airlines bankruptcy proceedings on April 23, 2013.

In connection with the completion of the Company’s comprehensive refinancing, on April 15, 2013, the holders of the Company’s Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes agreed to waive and release all claims asserted and related to the Company’s 2011 debt restructuring. On April 16, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NY dismissed all claims and counterclaims relating to the litigation with prejudice.

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. With

11. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

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

Distributions to Parent

On April 15, 2013, as part of the comprehensive refinancing, the Company issued $25 million of 11.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 2016 in exchange for and as part settlement of Tranche A Loans of Travelport Holdings. In connection with the comprehensive refinancing, $6 million of refinancing costs were deemed as incurred towards Travelport Holdings’ debt exchange transaction (see Note 9).

The exchange of $25 million of the Company’s 11.875% Senior Subordinated Notes for Travelport Holdings’ Tranche A Loans and allocated costs of $6 million have been considered as deemed capital distributions to Travelport Holdings.

13. Equity-Based Compensation

Partnership Restricted Equity Units — Class A-2

TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P., the partnership which, prior to comprehensive refinancing in April 2013, indirectly owned a majority shareholding in the Company (the “Partnership”), had an equity-based, long-term incentive program for the purpose of retaining certain key employees. Under several plans within this program, key employees were granted restricted equity units (“REUs”) and profit interests in the Partnership. During 2006, the Board of Directors of the Partnership approved the grant of up to approximately 120 million REUs for this incentive plan. The grant date fair value of each award under a plan within the program is based on a valuation of the total equity of the Partnership at the time of each grant of an award.

In May 2013, the Board of Directors of the Partnership approved a grant of substantially all the remaining outstanding authorized REUs/Class A-2 Interests in the Partnership under the plan (approximately 18 million), a substantial portion of which vested immediately, and the balance vested in August 2013. At June 30, 2013, none of the REUs remained outstanding or authorized for grant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an equity compensation expense of $1 million related to these REUs/Class A-2 Interests in the Partnership, considering the grant date fair value of $0.06 per REU.

Worldwide Equity Plan

In December 2011, Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), a parent company indirectly owning 100% of the Company, introduced an equity-based long-term incentive program (the “2011 Worldwide Equity Plan”), pursuant to which the key employees of the Company were granted shares and restricted share units

13. Equity-Based Compensation (continued)

 

(“RSUs”) in Worldwide. The grant date fair value of each award under the Worldwide Equity Plan is based on a valuation of the total equity of Worldwide at the time of each grant of an award.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Board of Directors of Worldwide introduced another equity-based long-term incentive program (the “2013 Worldwide Equity Plan”) whereby 84.1 million of awards were authorized to be granted to certain key employees of the Company. In May 2013, 75.7 million of RSUs were granted to employees, with two-thirds, or 50.5 million RSUs, vesting one-sixth semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 each year for a period of three years, if the employee continues to remain in employment. The balance of one-third or 25.2 million RSUs, vest on April 15, 2015 upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions. As the performance conditions have not been communicated to the employees, these 25.2 million RSUs have not been considered as granted for accounting purposes.

Further, in June 2013, the Board of Directors of Worldwide authorized the grant of 4 million stock options to the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman, Douglas M. Steenland, which vest in 3 years from the date of grant. Of the options granted, 2 million options are subject to time-based vesting and the balance of 2 million options are subject to vesting upon achieving certain performance conditions. The stock options have a contractual life of five years from the date of grant. None of the stock options have vested or have become exercisable as of September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an equity compensation expense of $2 million related to these RSUs considering the grant date fair value of $0.37 per RSU and less than $1 million related to stock options considering grant date fair value of $0.12 per option.

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. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in $ millions.

Overview

We are a leading distribution services and e-commerce provider for the global travel industry with a presence in over 170 countries and have over 3,500 employees.

We operate a global distribution systems (“GDS”) business with three brands: Apollo, Galileo and Worldspan. Our GDS business provides aggregation, search and transaction processing services to travel providers and travel agencies, allowing travel agencies to search, compare, process and book itinerary and pricing options across multiple travel providers. Our GDS business provides travel distribution services to approximately 810 active travel providers and approximately 67,000 online and offline travel agency locations, which in turn serve millions of end consumers globally. In 2012, approximately 162 million bookings were made through our GDS and it processed up to 2.7 billion travel-related messages per day.

Within our GDS business, our Airline IT Solutions business hosts mission critical applications and provides business and data analysis solutions to major airlines to enable them to focus in their core business competencies and reduce costs, as well as business intelligence services. Our Airline IT Solutions business also provides an array of leading-edge IT software subscription services and data business intelligence services, directly and indirectly, to over 404 airlines, airports and airline ground handlers globally.

We also have a joint venture ownership of eNett, a global provider of dedicated payment solutions for the travel industry. eNett provides secure and cost effective automated payment solutions between travel providers and travel agencies, tailored to meet the needs of the travel industry, currently focusing on Asia, Europe and the United States.

Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”)

Management monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy and forecasts using financial and non-financial measures. We use the following primary measures to assess our financial performance and the performance of our operating business.

The key performance indicators used by management to monitor group performance include Travelport Adjusted EBITDA.

Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure comparable to net income as determined under US GAAP as it does not take into account certain expenses such as depreciation, amortization, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest, income tax, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, and other costs that we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations such as costs associated with our restructuring efforts, non-cash equity-based compensation, litigation and related costs, and foreign currency (gains) losses on euro denominated debt and earnings hedges, which are also excluded under our debt covenants. In addition, Travelport Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under US GAAP.

We have included Travelport Adjusted EBITDA as it is the primary metric used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. In addition, it is a key element to calculate our covenant ratios under our credit agreements and will be used by the Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods.

We believe Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it allows management to monitor our ongoing core operations. The core operations represent the primary trading operations of the business.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Travelport Adjusted EBITDA from operations:

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Macroeconomic and Travel Industry Conditions:  Our business is highly correlated to the overall performance of the travel industry, in particular, growth in air passenger travel which, in turn, is linked to the global macro-economic environment. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 82% of our segment volumes were represented by air segments flown, 4% of segment volumes attributable to other air segments (such as cancellations on the day of travel), with land and sea bookings accounting for 14%. Between 2003 and 2011, air travel volumes increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.5%, approximately twice the rate of global GDP.

Consolidations within the Airline Industry:  As a result of consolidations within the airline industry, our annual revenue and EBITDA have been impacted in the past. Following the merger of United Airlines with Continental Airlines in 2010, we received a notice from United Airlines, terminating its agreement for the Apollo reservation system operated by us on their behalf. The integration of United-Continental systems was completed in early March 2012 and we no longer service United’s reservation system. The impact of the loss of the MSA with United Airlines contributed approximately $27 million to net revenue, $21 million to EBITDA and $23 million to Adjusted EBITDA, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In February 2013, American Airlines and US Airways announced their intention to merge. We do not expect this merger to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Seasonality:  Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. These trends cause our revenue to be generally higher in the first and second calendar quarters of the year, with revenue peaking as travelers plan and purchase in advance their spring and summer travel. Revenue typically declines in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Our results may also be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the inventory made available to us by our travel providers.

Foreign Exchange Movements:  We transact business primarily in US dollars. While we have euro denominated debt and the majority of our revenue is denominated in US dollars, a portion of costs are denominated in other currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar). 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.

On March 12, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the outstanding litigation with American Airlines and entered into a new long-term distribution agreement. The settlement was approved by the court overseeing the American Airlines bankruptcy proceedings on April 23, 2013.

In connection with the completion of our comprehensive refinancing, on April 15, 2013, the holders of the our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes agreed to waive and release all claims asserted and related to our 2011 debt restructuring. On April 15, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NY dismissed all claims and counterclaims relating to the litigation with prejudice.

Transaction processing revenue includes booking fees from airlines and revenue from hospitality, travel agents, payments processing and other key adjacencies.

The increase in transaction processing revenue of $23 million (5%) is a result of a 4% increase in RevPas (transaction processing revenue divided by the number of reported segments) and a 1% increase in segment volumes. The increase in RevPas is a result of growth in hospitality, payment processing and services revenue, combined with growth in higher yield segments.

Cost of revenue increased by $17 million (6%) as a result of $16 million (7%) incremental commission costs and $1 million (1%) increase in our telecommunication and technology costs. Commissions paid to travel agencies increased due to 1% increase in segment volumes and 3% increase in travel distribution cost per segment along with incremental commission costs from our payment processing business. Telecommunication and technology costs increased $1 million (1%).

Selling, General and Administrative

The selling, general and administrative expenses of $90 million and $110 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, include a net $4 million and $23 million charge, respectively, for items that are adjusted out of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA (“the Adjustments”). Excluding these Adjustments, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1 million (1%).

The Adjustments of $4 million and $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 our euro-denominated debt and derivatives. The Adjustments decreased by $19 million primarily as a result of (i) a $12 million reduction in litigation costs incurred during the period and (ii) $6 million favorable foreign exchange fluctuation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $5 million (9%) due to assets acquired in 2007 with 5 years useful life that have been fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2012.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, increased by $12 million (17%) primarily due to incremental interest on debt due to higher interest rates.

Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased approximately $14 million of our 97/8% dollar denominated Senior Notes, $9 million of our euro denominated floating rate Senior Notes and $1 million

of our dollar denominated floating rate Senior Notes at a discount, resulting in a $5 million gain from early extinguishment of debt.

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 due to the forecast losses in certain jurisdictions, and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax in the relevant jurisdiction.

Transaction processing revenue includes booking fees from airlines and revenue from hospitality, travel agents, payments processing and other key adjacencies.

The increase in transaction processing revenue of $64 million (5%) is a result of a 4% increase in RevPas (transaction processing revenue divided by the number of reported segments). The increase in RevPas is a result of growth in hospitality, payment processing and services revenue, combined with growth in higher yield segments partially offset by volume contraction. Segment volumes increased by 2 million (3%) in Europe and 1 million (3%) in APAC which was offset by a decline of 3 million (2%) in Americas primarily due to the loss of 2 million segments from the termination of the MSA with United Airlines.

Airline IT solutions revenue decreased by $13 million (10%) as a result of the loss of the MSA with United Airlines which contributed $19 million to airline IT solutions revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

costs from our payment processing business, with segment volumes remaining flat. Telecommunication and technology costs increased as a result of continued expansion of our operations and investment in technology.

Selling, General and Administrative

The selling, general and administrative expenses of $290 million and $302 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, include a net $29 million and $42 million charge, respectively, for items that are adjusted out of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA (“the Adjustments”). Excluding these Adjustments, our selling, general and administrative expenses increase was limited to $1 million (1%).

The Adjustments of $29 million and $42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 our euro-denominated debt and derivatives. The Adjustments decreased by $13 million primarily as a result of a $13 million reduction in litigation costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $17 million (10%) due to assets acquired in 2007 with five year useful life that have been fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2012.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, increased by $42 million (20%) as a result of (i) $21 million of financing costs incurred in relation to the debt refinancings in the second quarter of 2013 and (ii) $21 million of incremental interest on debt due to higher interest rates.

(Loss) Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, repaid dollar denominated term loans under our 2012 Secured Credit Agreement and refinanced our Senior Notes resulting in a $49 million loss on extinguishment of debt comprising of $39 million of unamortized debt finance costs written-off, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased approximately $14 million of our 97/8% dollar denominated Senior Notes, $11 million of our euro denominated floating rate Senior Notes and $1 million of dollar denominated floating rate Senior Notes at a discount, resulting in a $6 million gain from early extinguishment of debt.

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 due to the forecast losses in certain jurisdictions, and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax in the relevant jurisdiction.

Equity in Earnings of Investment in Orbitz Worldwide

Our share of equity in earnings of investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These earnings reflect our 45% ownership interest (47% ownership in 2012) in Orbitz Worldwide.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of operating liquidity is cash flows generated from operations, including working capital. We maintain what we consider to be an appropriate level of liquidity through several sources, including maintaining appropriate levels of cash, access to funding sources, and a committed credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, our financing needs were supported by our $120 million revolving credit facility. In the event additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

A significant concentration of our cash is in geographical 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. Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, interest payments on debt and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments or repurchases of debt. With the cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet, our ability to generate cash from operations over the course of a year and through access to our revolving credit facility and other lending sources, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs for at least the next 12 months.

As of September 30, 2013, our total leverage ratio was 6.63 compared to the maximum total leverage ratio allowable of 7.15, our total senior secured leverage ratio was 4.82 compared to the maximum total senior secured leverage ratio allowable of 5.25; our cash balance was $160 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 the total senior secured leverage ratio with which we need to comply reduces to 5.15 at March 2014 until December 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 Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Indentures governing our notes and meet our cash flow needs during the next twelve 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,

Table of Contents

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 the debt refinancing during the second quarter of 2013, substantially all of our debt is now scheduled for repayment on or after January 2016.

We believe an important measure of our liquidity is unlevered free cash flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe unlevered free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We define unlevered free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, adjusted to remove the impact of interest payments 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 while our capital expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platforms.

In addition, we present Travelport 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 Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement is computed by dividing the total debt (as defined under the credit agreement) at the balance sheet date by a number which is broadly computed from the last twelve months of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA.

Travelport Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under US GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures:

As of September 30, 2013, we had $160 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $50 million compared to December 31, 2012. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating Activities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by operations was $67 million compared to $134 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease of $67 million is primarily a result of $64 million of cash used in operating working capital due to timing of receipts from accounts receivable and payments of commission and incentives and a $22 million increase in customer loyalty payments.

Investing Activities.  The cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to $76 million for capital expenditures compared to $61 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Financing Activities.  Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $65 million. This primarily comprised of (i) $2,169 million of proceeds from term loans, (ii) $73 million net release of collateralized cash offset by (iii) $1,663 million repayments of term loans, (iv) $413 million repayment of Senior Notes, (v) $20 million net repayment of revolver borrowings, (vi) $55 million of debt finance costs and (vii) $25 million of capital lease repayments, capital distributions to a parent company and settlement of derivative contracts. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily comprised of (i) $165 million repayment of term loans, (ii) $20 million of repurchase of Senior Notes, (iii) $40 million of net cash payments on the settlement of derivative contracts, (iv) $13 million of capital lease repayments and (v) $9 million of debt finance costs, offset by (vi) $170 million of proceeds from term loans.

In April 2013, we completed an exchange offer for substantially all of our existing senior notes due in September 2014 and March 2016, including the dollar denominated floating rates notes due 2014, euro denominated floating rate notes due 2014, 9.875% dollar denominated notes due 2014 and 9% dollar denominated notes due 2016, for approximately $406 million of new 13.875% senior fixed rate notes due March 2016, bearing cash interest of 11.375% and 2.5% of interest payable as payment-in-kind interest, and approximately $185 million of new senior floating rate notes due March 2016 (together with the new senior fixed rate notes, the “Senior Notes”), bearing cash interest of LIBOR plus 6.125% and 2.5% of interest payable as payment-in-kind interest (the “Senior Notes Exchange Offers”). In connection with the Senior Notes Exchange Offers, the holders of the new Senior Notes have provided a waiver and release of all claims asserted related to our refinancing in 2011. To facilitate the transactions:

 

 

We entered into a new second lien secured credit agreement (“Senior Lien Credit Agreement”) and issued $630 million of Tranche 1 second priority secured loans, at a discount of 1%, due January 2016 (the “Tranche 1 Loans”). The cash proceeds were used to (i) repay $175 million of indebtedness outstanding under the credit agreement dated as of May 8, 2012 (the “2012 Secured Credit Agreement”), (ii) repay in cash $393 million as part of for the Senior Notes Exchange Offers, and (iii) pay consent fees in connection with the Senior Notes Exchange Offers and consent solicitations. The Tranche 1 Loans bear cash interest of LIBOR plus 8%, with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.5%. During May 2013, we further borrowed $15 million under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to redeem the outstanding senior notes held by holders who did not participate in the Senior Notes Exchange Offers. Tranche 1 Loans are subject to a 2% repayment fee, which is accreted as interest expense over the term of the loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $2 million was accreted into the outstanding loan amount.

 

 

We completed an exchange offer for our existing Second Priority Secured Notes due December 2016 for an equal principal amount of new term loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement due December 2016 (the “Tranche 2 Loans”). The Tranche 2 Loans bear interest of 8.375% (cash interest of 4% and payment-in-kind interest of 4.375%).

 

 

We paid a consent fee to holders of our Senior Subordinated Notes in exchange for a waiver and release of all claims asserted in connection with our refinancing in 2011 and amended certain restrictive covenants under the indentures for the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

 

Our direct parent holding company, Travelport Holdings Limited (“Travelport Holdings”), acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche A Loans in exchange for (i) approximately 43.3% of the equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”) a parent company indirectly owning 100% of our shares and (ii) $25 million of newly issued 11.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 2016, and acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche B Loans in exchange for approximately 34.6% of the equity of Worldwide.

In June 2013, we amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (“Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which among other things; (i) refinanced in full the outstanding term loans, revolver borrowings and other commitments with the proceeds of a new $1,554 million term loan facility issued at a discount of 1.5% with a maturity date of June 2019 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 5% (with

a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (ii) provides for a new $120 million super priority revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June, 2018 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.25% (with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (iii) provides for incremental term loan facilities subject to a 3.1 to 1.0 first lien leverage ratio test; (iv) amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to add back amortization of customer loyalty payments; and (v) amended certain financial covenants including the total leverage ratio, the senior secured leverage ratio, the minimum liquidity ratio and limitations on indebtedness, investments and restricted payments. We are required to repay the term loans in quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount of $1,554 million (adjusted for any subsequent prepayments), commencing September 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repaid $4 million as our first quarterly repayment and $2 million of discount was amortized.

In June 2013, we amended our Second Lien Credit Agreement to amend the definition of (i) Consolidated EBITDA; (ii) total leverage ratio and our maximum senior secured leverage ratio; and (iii) certain other definitions to conform to the amendments in the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As a result of the above comprehensive refinancings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $49 million, which comprised of $39 million written-off of unamortized debt finance costs, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

Pursuant to the Sixth Amended Secured Credit Agreement, the total revolving credit facility is $120 million all of which remains undrawn as of September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we borrowed $53 million and repaid $73 million under our revolving credit facility.

As a result of our Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the $13 million of synthetic letter of credit facility was terminated. Further, the $133 million of letter of credit facility, which was collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash funded from Tranche S loans, was also terminated and replaced with a new $137 million cash collateralized letter of credit facility, maturing in June 2018. The terms under the new letters of credit facility provide that 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for the outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2013, $62 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of the new facility against which we had provided $64 million as cash collateral, and we had $75 million of remaining capacity under our letters of credit facility.

Pursuant to our separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, we were committed to provide up to $75 million of letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. However, subsequent to April 15, 2013, the date on which we completed our comprehensive refinancing, we along with Orbitz Worldwide ceased to be controlled by affiliates of Blackstone. We are no longer obligated to maintain or issue new letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. As of September 30, 2013, there were no significant letters of credit issued by us on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide and substantially all of the previously issued letters of credit were cancelled.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $6 million of payment-in-kind interest was capitalized into the Second Priority Secured Notes and Senior Notes. In addition, $10 million of payment-in-kind interest was accrued for the Senior Notes and Tranche 2 Loans and included within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. We repaid $14 million under our capital lease obligations, terminated $1 million of capital leases and entered into $10 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.

Foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a $6 million increase in the principal amount of euro denominated debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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

Table of Contents

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. Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is defined under our debt covenants as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the 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 exchange derivatives and other adjustments made to exclude expenses viewed as outside the normal course of operations.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 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 contacts 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.

None of derivative financial instruments used to manage our foreign currency exposures were designated as accounting hedges. 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. Losses on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $4 million and $8 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In August 2013, the interest rate swap derivative contracts expired and 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 $2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) with the ineffective portion recognized in earnings in the consolidated condensed financial statements. 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 $3 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2013, our interest rate cap contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed four years. All other contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed one year. As of September 30, 2013, we had a net asset position of $15 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

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we refinanced a substantial portion of our debt, and, as a result, all of our debt is scheduled to mature on or after January 2016. The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations related to debt as of September 30, 2013:

(1) 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 the Company is unable to repay or refinance its outstanding debt under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or its unsecured debt prior to their maturity dates. The debt maturity excludes (i) $83 million of payment-in-kind interest and repayment fee that will be accrued over the term of the Tranche 2 Loans and Senior Notes and (ii) $28 million of debt discount on term loans under Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement.

 

(2) Interest on floating rate and/or euro denominated debt is based on the interest rate and/or foreign exchange rates as at September 30, 2013. Interest payments exclude the effects of mark-to-market adjustments on related hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2013, we have $96 million of accrued interest on our consolidated condensed balance sheet of which $86 million will be paid within the next twelve months. The interest payments include $83 million of payment-in-kind interest and repayment fee that will be accrued over the term of the Tranche 2 Loans and Senior Notes.

 

(3) Primarily reflects non-cancellable operating leases on facilities and data processing equipment.

 

(4) Primarily reflects our agreement with a third party for data center services.

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 10% change (increase or decrease) in interest rates, and a hypothetical 10% change (increase or decrease) in the value of underlying currencies being hedged against the US dollar. We used September 30, 2013 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. Increases in US LIBOR interest rates above 1.5% on our variable rate borrowings are expected to be fully offset by corresponding gains related to interest rate cap derivatives. Gains or losses on the underlying foreign exchange exposures are expected to be partially offset by gains or losses related to foreign currency derivative contracts. We have determined, through sensitivity analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates on our consolidated condensed financial statements would not be material. However, a 10% increase (decrease) in the foreign currency exchange rate with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar would have resulted in a gain (loss) of $5 million to our consolidated condensed
