Travelport has delivered a positive start to the year which builds on the momentum we established in 2015. We continued to drive our leadership positions in airline merchandising, hospitality, B2B payments and mobile commerce, leading to particularly strong International revenue growth, notably in Europe, Latin America and Canada and Asia Pacific. Air revenue benefited from our geographical mix as well the further adoption and penetration of our merchandising solutions – now implemented with around 160 airlines. We continue to grow Beyond Air, up by 23% in the quarter, with good growth again in hospitality, particularly in the United States, Latin America and Canada. Moreover MTT, our mobile commerce subsidiary, announced a number of new customer wins, and our payments business, eNett, grew its revenue by 76% as it cleared its backlog of customer implementations from last year and also gained more share of business with existing clients. These results show our progress in delivering continued top and bottom line growth and we re-affirm our full year guidance.”

Discussion of Results

 

Net Revenue

Net revenue is comprised of:

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
   Change 
(in $ thousands)  2016   2015   $   % 
Air  $443,884   $431,521   $12,363    3 
Beyond Air   135,002    110,120    24,882    23 
Travel Commerce Platform   578,886    541,641    37,245    7 
Technology Services   30,377    30,487    (110)    
Net Revenue  $609,263   $572,128   $37,135    6 

 

Net revenue increased by $37 million, or 6%, to $609 million primarily due to growth in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $37 million, or 7%. RevPas increased 12% to $6.43, driving a $63 million increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue, which was offset by lower volumes. International Reported Segments increased 1%, driving $3 million of the increase, offset by a 12% decrease in United States Reported Segments primarily due to the impact of our renegotiated contract with Orbitz Worldwide in 2014. Overall, total Reported Segments decreased 5% to 90 million.

 

Within Travel Commerce Platform revenue, Air increased by $12 million, or 3%, mainly due to improved pricing, mix and merchandising. Beyond Air increased by $25 million, or 23%, as a result of continued growth in payment solutions and hospitality, as well as our expansion into mobile commerce solutions. Technology Services revenue remained stable at $30 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17 million, or 12%, to $154 million. The increase is primarily the result of growth in RevPas, partially offset by lower volumes and increased expenses as we continue to invest in our platform through acquisition and expansion of our go-to-market commercial capabilities.

 

Operating Income

Operating income increased by $46 million to $80 million primarily due to (i) a reduction in non-core corporate costs of $19 million mainly related to fluctuations in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency derivative contracts, (ii) an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million and (iii) a $9 million reduction in depreciation and amortization as the useful lives expired on a portion of acquired intangible assets.

 

Net Income

Net income increased by $24 million from a loss of $7 million in 2015 to an income of $17 million in 2016, primarily due to a $46 million increase in operating income offset by a $16 million increase in interest expense resulting from an unrealized loss on interest rate derivative contracts. Further, positive contribution of $6 million in 2015 resulted from the gain on our sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc.

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) improved by $21 million to $51 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the increase in net income.

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $15 million to $26 million, primarily as a result of the increase in operating income.

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased by $16 million, primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Net Debt

Net Debt increased from $2,282 million at December 31, 2015 to $2,297 million at March 31, 2016, and is comprised of $2,425 million in total debt less $128 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Business Update

 

Growth from higher value International regions continue to drive Travel Commerce Platform

 

·Travel Commerce Platform revenue growth was driven by a 12% increase in revenue from International regions.
·This growth more than offset the 4% decline in revenue from the United States which, as anticipated, was impacted by the continued roll-off of Orbitz Worldwide-related segments following its renegotiated long-term contract with Travelport effected last year.
·Growth continued in Europe across both Air and Beyond Air, with revenue growth of 18% in Q1. Increasing transaction levels at recently converted new customers contributed to this growth, with strong air segments growth in Russia, Spain and France.
·Revenue from Latin America and Canada grew by 18% with strong growth across Air and Beyond Air.
·Our momentum in Asia Pacific continued with revenue growth of 9% in Q1, with double-digit growth in air segments in India, Hong Kong and Indonesia as well as outperformance of the underlying GDS air market in South Korea.
·On April 1, 2016, we completed the tuck-in acquisition and vertical integration of our distributor in Japan. Alongside our other strategic partnerships in Japan, the deal facilitates tighter product alignment and renewed focus to local sales, support and marketing activities, strengthening our growth prospects in one of the world’s largest travel regions. Although immediately accretive to earnings, the financial impact to Travelport is immaterial in the short term.

 

Travelport extends Air merchandising leadership

 

·Air France - KLM upgraded its agreement with Travelport to include our industry-leading airline merchandising solutions.
·We also signed an extended long-term agreement with easyJet, including upgraded participation in our airline merchandising solutions.
·Other new signings and implementations during the period included China Southern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines, and we also went live with the branded and tailored content of British Airways and Iberia.
·In total, around 160 airlines are now fully implemented on Travelport with these high value-adding merchandising capabilities.

 

Strong growth in Beyond Air

 

Revenue from Beyond Air grew by 23% to $135 million in Q1 with growth across hospitality, payment solutions and mobile commerce.

 

·Travelport signed a new long-term strategic distribution agreement with Marriott International, which operates more than 4,400 hotels across 87 countries and territories, further deepening Travelport’s hotel content leadership.
·Growth in Asia will be bolstered by OyoRooms, India’s largest branded hotel network with over 5,500 properties that commenced distribution through Travelport during the period – the first of a series of directly acquired local chains and hotel aggregators due to go live on Travelport in 2016.
·eNett’s net revenue for Q1 was $33 million, representing growth of 76% (Q1 2015: $19 million).
oSeveral new customer implementations were completed in the first quarter of 2016, of which many related to new customer signings from 2015.
oeNett also continues to grow the value of payments settled with its existing customers, as well from more recent customer signings, particularly in the OTA space.
·MTT continues to perform well and has added to its customer roster Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates.

 

Full Year 2016 Guidance

 

We re-affirm our guidance for full year 2016, as announced on February 18, 2016.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Movements

 

Our results of operations are reported in U.S. dollars. With approximately 93% of our net revenue denominated in U.S. dollars in Q1, exchange rate movements in this currency have a low impact on our reported net revenue. eNett, which represented approximately 5% of our net revenue in Q1, is the largest source of non-U.S. dollar net revenue.

 

Of our costs and expenses in Q1, excluding depreciation on property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-core corporate costs, approximately 66% were denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

We employ foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly against the British pound, the Euro and the Australian dollar, which are the main non-U.S. dollar components of our costs and expenses. The year over year impact of foreign exchange movements had a positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA for Q1.

 

Dividend

 

On May 3, 2016, Travelport’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per common share for the first quarter of 2016. The dividend will be payable on June 16, 2016 to shareholders of record on June 2, 2016.

 

Conference Call

 

The Company’s first quarter 2016 earnings conference call will be held later today (on May 5, 2016) beginning at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

DEFINITIONS

(unaudited)

 

Definitions

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest expense, net (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments), and related income taxes.

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, adjusted to remove the impact of cash paid for other adjusting items which we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations and to deduct Capital Expenditures.

 

Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share - Diluted is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period divided by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares.

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, share of earnings (losses) in equity method investments, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as gain on sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, certain litigation and related costs, and other non-cash items such as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on earnings hedges, and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments, along with any income tax related to these exclusions.

 

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments.

 

Capital Expenditures is defined as cash paid for property and equipment plus repayments in relation to capital leases and other indebtedness.

 

Customer Loyalty Payments are payments made to travel agencies or travel providers with an objective of increasing the number of travel bookings using the Company’s Travel Commerce Platform and to improve the travel agencies or travel providers’ loyalty, which are instrumented through agreements with a term over a year. Under the contractual terms, the travel agency or travel provider commits to achieve certain economic objectives for the Company. Such costs are specifically identifiable to individual contracts with travel agencies or travel providers, which have determinable contractual lives. Due to the contractual nature of the payments, the Company believes that such assets are appropriately classified as intangible assets.

 

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprising of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

 

Reported Segments means travel provider revenue generating units (net of cancellations) sold by the Company’s travel agency network, geographically presented by region based upon the point of sale location.

 

Travel Commerce Platform RevPas (“RevPas”) represents Travel Commerce Platform revenue per segment and is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. We have included these measures as they are the primary metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. They are also used by the management to assess the performance and profitability of the Company to determine incentive compensation for future periods.

 

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Adjusted Free Cash Flow. This measure is useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We believe this measure gives management and investors a better understanding of the cash flows generated by our underlying business, as cash paid for other adjusting items are unrelated to the underlying business and our Capital Expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platforms. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. This measure should not be considered as measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP.

 

We believe Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted is a useful measure for our investors as it represents, on a per share basis, our consolidated results, taking into account depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments) and related income taxes but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses. Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted has similar limitations as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not include all items that affect our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

 

The management uses Net Debt to review the Company’s overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. Further, we believe, certain debt rating agencies, creditors and credit analysts monitor our Net Debt as part of their assessment of our business. Net Debt is not a measurement of our indebtedness under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to assess our total debt or any other measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
