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-Q10‑Q to “we,” “our,” “us” or “Travelport” refer to Travelport Worldwide Limited, a Bermuda company, and its consolidated 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, pandemics, general economic conditions, natural disasters and other disruptions;


·

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

factors affecting the level

·

our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and to enter into new relationships on acceptable financial and other terms;

·

our ability to develop and deliver products and services that are valuable to travel agencies and travel providers and generate new revenue streams;

·

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

·

our ability to grow adjacencies, such as payment and mobile solutions;

·

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

·

the impact on business conditions worldwide as a result of political decisions, including the United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) decision to leave the European Union (“E.U.”);

·

pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry;

·

the impact our outstanding indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business;

·

our ability to achieve expected cost savings from our efforts to improve operational and technological efficiency, including through our consolidation of multiple technology vendors and locations and the centralization of activities;

·

the impact that the potential Merger (as defined below) transaction may have on our operations; and

·

maintenance and protection of our information technology (“IT”) and intellectual property.

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 sectionsections captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2018, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2018,22, 2019, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,10‑Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements. For any forward-looking statements contained in any document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Equity-Based Compensation—Modification Accounting

Leases

In May 2017,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”(“FASB”) issued new guidance clarifying when modificationon lease accounting should be usedthat establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model and requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for changes to theall leases with terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions or award classification and will not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The Company adopted the provisions oflonger than 12 months. Under this guidance, prospectively effective January 1, 2018leases are classified as required undereither finance or operating, with the guidance. The adoptionclassification affecting the pattern of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Pension
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension cost and post-retirement benefit cost (“net benefit cost”). The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit cost to be presented as part of the other employee compensation costs in operating income, which can be further considered for capitalization as part of the capitalization policy, and to present the other components of net benefit cost, including interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gain or loss (the “other components”) separately, in one or more line items, outside of operating income. Further, the new guidance requires a disclosure of the line items that contain the other components of net benefit cost in the footnotes to the financial statements if they are not presented on appropriately described separate linesexpense recognition in the statement of operations. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued further guidance to provide another option for transition under which the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the year of adoption were not required to be restated. Under this transition method, a company could apply the transition provisions on January 1, 2019 (i.e. the effective date).

The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018,2019, applying the modified retrospective method to all qualifying leases existing at, or entered into, after January 1, 2019 and with a lease term of greater than 12 months. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that does not require it to reassess the following for any expired or existing leases at the transition date: (i) whether any contractual arrangements are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification as requiredoperating or finance and (iii) initial direct costs incurred.

The adoption of the new lease guidance as of January 1, 2019 resulted in an increase in the Company’s total assets of $61 million and an increase in its total liabilities of $74 million, arising from the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. The difference of $13 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of operating lease ROU assets. The accounting for finance leases under the new guidance remained substantially unchanged and there was no impact on the Company’s finance lease assets and obligations upon adoption of this guidance.

Financial information for the threereporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 is presented under the new lease guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and six months ended June 30, 2017,continue to be reported under the Company reclassified $1 million and $2 million, respectively, relatedprevious lease guidance, resulting in a balance sheet presentation that is not comparable to the other components from selling, generalprior periods in the first year of adoption. Under the

new guidance, leases previously described as capital lease assets and administrative expensecapital lease liabilities are now referred to other expense withinas finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities, respectively, to conform to the current period presentation.

There was no impact on Company’s accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2019. Further, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations. The adoptionoperations, total equity (deficit) and cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 resulting from the application of thisnew lease guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s net income, consolidated condensed balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

Goodwill Impairment

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Intangibles—Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In January 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify theon a customer’s accounting for goodwill impairment. Theimplementation, set-up and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by a vendor, which is a service contract.

The new guidance also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense, and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. This guidance is applicableeffective for the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company can choose to adopt the new guidance (1) prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date this guidance is first applied or (2) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends certain of the amendmentsexisting guidance to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The guidance requires a company to additionally disclose reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The guidance no longer requires certain disclosures, including disclosures on the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. This guidance is effective for the Company for the annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020 and has to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that amends certain of the existing guidance to add, remove and modify disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires additional disclosures, including the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance no longer requires certain disclosures, including the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the Company for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and requires its application using a prospective transition method.eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this guidance. The Company early adoptedis currently evaluating the provisionsimpact of this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’sits consolidated condensed financial statements.

Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to include restricted cash as part of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance also requires a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances disclosed in the balance sheet with the corresponding amounts as shown in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide specific guidance relating to the classification of certain items, including cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investments and cash flows classification based on its predominate source or use. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the current guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The guidance significantly revises the accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities of unconsolidated subsidiaries (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that superseded most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle of the guidance is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires an evaluation of revenue arrangements with customers following a five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the services. Other major provisions of the guidance include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 as required under the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements (see Note 3—Revenue).
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance,

available relevant information to be considered when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts and their implications for expected credit losses. The new guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires its application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting that supersedes the current guidance on leases. The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued further guidance to provide another option for transition under which the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the year of adoption will not need to be restated. Under this transition method, the entity can apply the transition provisions on January 1, 2019 (i.e. the effective date). The Company expects to adopt the new lease guidance by applying the transition provisions on January 1, 2019.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures, controls and processes including evaluating the use of optional practical expedients. Further, the Company has selected a lease accounting system to assist with the accounting and disclosure requirements under the new guidance and is currently analyzing its inventory of existing operating leases. The Company expects a majority of its existing operating leases, with minimum lease commitments as of June 30, 2018 of  $98 million, will be subject to the new guidance. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will recognize operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated condensed balance sheets that will increase its total assets and liabilities. Although, the new guidance is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations or its consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from operating and finance leases contracts.

3. Revenue

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under previous revenue recognition guidance. The Company recorded a $1 million reduction to its accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, representing the cumulative impact of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance, which primarily relates to the timing of recognition of hotel reservations in the Company’s Beyond Air revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there was an immaterial impact to net revenue as a result of applying the new revenue recognition guidance.
The Company operates a travel commerce platform providing distribution, technology, payment, mobile and other solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. Through its Travel Commerce Platform, the Company connects travel providers (“customers”), such as airlines, hotel chains and car rental companies, with online and offline travel buyers, including travel agencies, travel management companies and corporations. The Company also provides critical information technology services to airlines, such as shopping, ticketing, departure control, business intelligence and other solutions.

Substantially all of the Company’s Air revenue within its Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), the Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses, whereby the payments are submitted monthly to the IATA or the ACH and are settled (on a net basis) within approximately 30 days. Airlines that do not settle payments through the ACHthem and customers in Beyond Air and Technology Services are generally invoiced on a monthly basis, and the payments are generally received within approximately 30 to 60 days.

3. Revenue (Continued)

Deferred revenue is recorded when a performance obligation has not been satisfied but an invoice has been raised. The cash payments received or due in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations waswere offset by $12$5 million of net revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 1,December 31, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was approximately $63$47 million, of which the Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 79%82% over the next 24 months, including approximately 50%52% over the next 12 months.

The Company does not disclose the value of its unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amounts to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

4. Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision differs significantly from the expected provision amount calculated at the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the U.K., due to historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions, including limitation to the tax deductibility of interest expense in the U.K., (iv) certain income or gains that are not subject to tax and (v) items identified as discrete during the interim period, (vi) the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms (as defined below) and (vii) the impact of changes in the U.K. to the tax deductibility of interest.

periods. 

As of December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOL”) carry forwards of approximately $400$399 million, which expire between 20322030 and 2037 and $17 million that can be utilized indefinitely, state

NOL carry forwards, which expire between 20182019 and 2037,2038, and alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and other tax credits carry forward of approximately $27$28 million. The Company had other non—non–U.S. NOL carry forwards of $345$393 million that expire between three years and indefinitely. As of December 31, 2017,2018, the deferred tax asset in respect of these U.S. and non—non–U.S. NOL carry forwards and U.S. tax credits was $197$208 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. federal, U.S. state and non—non–U.S. NOL carry forwards and other deferred tax assets will not be realized. Consequently, the Company has recorded valuation allowances of $187$186 million against such deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017.

2018. The Company also maintains a deferred tax asset of $101 million resulting from intra-entity transfer of assets (intra-group intangibles) with an associated full valuation allowance (as it is more-likely-than-not that this deferred tax asset will not be realized).

The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate includes the impact of  (i) releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with the U.S. NOL carry forwards due to an increase in taxable temporary differences that support deferred tax asset utilization and (ii) releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with the U.K. NOL carry forwards (see below).utilization. However, the Company has maintainedmaintains a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets. Future realized earnings performance and changes in future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause an adjustment to the conclusion as to whether it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.

As a result of

For the Company’s debt restructuring inthree months ended March 2018 (see Note 11—Long-Term Debt),31, 2019, the Company expectsrecognized a $10 million charge for uncertain tax position related to the realizability of U.K. NOL carry forwards. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company expected that there willwould be future taxable income in the U.K. other than the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Consequently, the Company has realized a net benefit of $10 million in the first quarter of 2018 following the release of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with its U.K. NOL carry forwards.

4. Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company’s preliminary estimate of the impact of the comprehensive changes to the U.S. tax legislation that were enacted in December 2017 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reforms”) is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the U.S. Tax Reforms, the impact of state income taxes, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the U.S. Tax Reforms that may require further adjustments and changes in the Company’s estimates that could be beneficial or adverse. The Company continued to assess the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and expects to complete its assessment and resultant accounting, if any, by December 2018 (being the one—year measurement period from the date of enactment of the U.S. Tax Reforms).

Debt Covenants and Guarantees
The 2018 Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the senior secured notes, contain financial and other covenants, including: limitations on the ability of Travelport Limited, a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has given notice to the trustee under the Indenture and the Borrower’s and the Issuer’s immediate parent entity (the “Parent Guarantor”) and its restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens or make certain investments and acquisitions and restricted payments, limitations on transactions with affiliates and certain restrictions on the sale of assets. A violation of these covenants could result in the Parent Guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries being prohibited from making certain restricted payments, including dividends, or cause a default under the 2018 Credit Agreement or the Indenture, which would permit the participating lenders to restrict the Parent Guarantor’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to access the revolving credit facility and require the immediate repayment of any outstanding advances made under the 2018 Credit Agreement or the Indenture. Solely in the caseholders of the revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement, if the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility exceeds a certain threshold, there is a requirement to maintain a first lien leverage ratio.
The senior secured notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally on a senior secured basis by the Parent Guarantor and certain of its existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that also guaranteeintention to optionally redeem the facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The senior secured notes, and related guarantees are secured onin whole at a first-priority basis by security interests in allredemption price equal to 100% of the Issuer’sprincipal amount plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the guarantors’ assets that also secureredemption date.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s primary foreign currency risk exposure as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was due to exchange rate fluctuations that arise from certain intercompany transactions and earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities.

The Company uses foreign currency derivative contracts (forward contracts) to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily exposure to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. The Company did not designate these foreign currency derivative contracts as accounting hedges. Fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency derivative contracts were recorded within the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations, which partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings they were intended to economically hedge.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company’s primary interest rate risk exposure was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically the impact of LIBOR interest rates on the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated variable rate term loans. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the average LIBOR rate applied to the term loans was 1.88%2.65%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding interest rate swap contracts that fix the LIBOR rate payable as follows:

The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are based on market quoted probability rates of default for each of the derivative assets and liabilities, resulting in a weighted average probability of default of 2%11% and a recovery rate of 75% for derivative assets and 65% for derivative liabilities. As the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives is less than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivative 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 June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

(unaudited)

The fair value of the Company’s total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of its term loans and senior secured notes based on quoted prices obtained from independent brokers for identical debt instruments when traded as an asset and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

12. Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease assets represent the Company’s right-to-use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Finance leases are generally those leases that allow the Company to either utilize the entire asset over its economic life or substantially pay for all of the fair value of the asset over the lease term. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the fixed lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where the Company is a lessee, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments and uses the implicit rate when readily available. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate through the use of market sources including relevant industry rates. The operating lease ROU assets include lease pre-payments and initial direct costs and are reduced for any lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option, it is reflected in the expected lease terms for ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The Company’s lease agreements may include both lease and non-lease components. For leases of information technology equipment used in its data centers, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. For leases of all other assets, lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and current and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current-portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has operating leases in various countries for corporate offices, sales offices and call centers, and certain other equipment in these countries. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Certain of the Company’s operating lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation.

The Company has finance leases primarily for information technology equipment used in its data centers. All of the Company’s finance lease assets are located in the United States.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s leases have an expected remaining lease terms of up to 9 years, certain of which include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years, and do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The depreciable life of lease ROU assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

13. 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 June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $98$68 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $49$41 million relates to the twelve months ending June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. These purchase obligations extend through 2022.

2023.

Contingencies

Company Litigation

The Company is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the Company believes its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

Standard Guarantees/Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for breaches of representations and warranties. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing

24

TRAVELPORT WORLDWIDE LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
13. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
(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 or equity 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 or equity security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees, as the triggering events are not subject to predictability and there is little or no history of claims against the Company under such arrangements. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.
14. Equity
Sale

Merger Related

15. Equity-Based Compensation
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
During the first quarter of 2018, as part of its annual grant program, the Company granted 596,063 RSUs. These RSUs vest one-fourth annually over a period of four years, if the employee continues to remain in employment during the vesting period. The Company further granted 202,100 RSUs to certain employees that cliff-vest in approximately two years from the grant date upon continued employment of the employee during the vesting period. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying common shares as dividends are declared by the Company. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting of the associated RSUs and will be forfeited should the RSUs not vest. The RSUs do not have an exercise price, and the fair value of the RSUs is considered to be the closing market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. Certain of the Company’s outstanding RSUs may be settled by the issuance of common shares held as treasury shares. In line with the Company’s accounting policy, the compensation costs related to RSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company completed net share settlements of 11,026 common shares in connection with employee taxable income created upon vesting of RSUs. The Company agreed to pay these taxes on behalf of the employees in return for the employees returning an equivalent value of common shares. These common shares were accounted for as treasury shares by the Company. Further, in respect of 51,396 vested RSUs, certain directors of the Company elected to defer receiving common shares until termination of their service as a director of the Company.

Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

During the first quarter of 2018, as part of its annual grant program,three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 1,246,803did not grant any PSUs. The PSUs cliff-vest at the end of approximately three years from the date of the grant based on the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and continued employment of the employee during the vesting period. The ultimate number of PSUs that will vest also depends on the Company’s ranking within a group of companies based on achievement of its total shareholder’s return (“TSR”) during the applicable performance period compared to the TSR of the companies within the selected group. However, the total number of PSUs that will ultimately vest will not exceed 200% of the original grant. Each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of vesting, and, if there is any change in such probability, the Company records the cumulative effect of the adjustment in the current reporting period. All of the PSUs will be settled in the Company’s common shares. PSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying common shares as dividends are declared by the Company. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of PSUs in cash upon the vesting of the associated PSUs and will be forfeited should the PSUs not vest. The PSUs do not have an exercise price. For PSUs earned based on a market condition, the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Certain of the Company’s outstanding PSUs may be settled by the issuance of common shares held as treasury shares. In line with the Company’s accounting policy, the compensation costs related to the PSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis.

For purposes of the previous sentence, the number of PSUs subject to performance-based vesting restrictions in which the performance period is still outstanding as of the Effective Time will be deemed to be the number of shares eligible to vest based on the greater of, with respect to the performance metrics applicable to such PSU, (A) target performance and (B) actual performance determined as if the applicable performance period ended immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of common shares subject to a PSU award with performance-based vesting in which the performance period has been completed prior to the Effective Time will be deemed to be the number of common shares eligible to vest based on the actual performance with respect to the performance metrics applicable to such PSU. Stock options with a per share exercise price equal to or above $15.75 will be cancelled at the Effective Time for no payment or consideration.

Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common share equivalents during each period.

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had nil1 million and 12 million, respectively, of weighted average common share equivalents primarily associated with the Company’s stock options that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had 2.4 million of weighted average common share equivalents, primarily associated with the Company’s stock options, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. These were excluded as their inclusion would have been antidilutive, as the common shares repurchased from the total assumed proceeds applying the treasury stock method exceed the common shares that would have been issued.

16. Segment and Geographical Information

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: Travel Solutions and Payment Solutions. Comprised of Air, Beyond Air (excluding Payment Solutions) and Technology Services, Travel Solutions primarily provides distribution and merchandising solutions for airline, hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators, digital services, advertising and an array of additional platform services. Payment Solutions comprise the Company’s B2B travel payment solutions that operates through eNett. eNett’s core offering is a virtual payment solution that automatically generates unique Mastercard numbers used to process payments globally.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates segment performance based primarily on net revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, as described below. In addition, the CODM regularly reviews revenue by transaction type. There are no material inter-segment transactions and revenues for any period presented. As the two reportable segments are managed substantially on a separate basis, including each having their individual corporate functions, there are no material central/common corporate transaction expenses such as finance, treasury, tax, legal and marketing that are to be allocated among the reportable segments.  The CODM does not review total assets by segment and operating performance

Management Performance Metrics

Our management team monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives. We assess our performance using both financial and non-financial measures. As a Travel Commerce Platform, weWe measure performance primarily on the basis of changes in both Reported Segments and RevPas. Travel Commerce Platform RevPas is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments. Travel Commerce Platform revenue is generated from a wide portfolio of products and services, including traditional air bookings, ancillaries, hospitality, payment solutions,Payment Solutions, digital services, advertising and other platform services. Reported Segments is defined as travel provider revenue generating units (net of cancellations) sold by our travel agency network, geographically presented by region based upon the point of sale location. We also use other GAAP and non-GAAP measures as performance metrics.

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), components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs other than service costs and related income taxes.

(2)

(2)

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

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

(3)

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as income (loss) from discontinued operations, non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, 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. Tax impacts not related to core operations have also been excluded (see Note 4 — Income Taxes to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q).

(4)

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.

(5)

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for additions to property and equipment.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of a subsidiary, non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, 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.

We utilize non-GAAP (or adjusted) financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—Share — diluted, to provide useful supplemental information to assist investors in understanding and assessing our performance and financial results on the same basis that management uses internally. These adjusted financial measures provide investors greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to evaluate our core operations, forecast future results, determine future capital investment allocations and understand business trends within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—Share — diluted metrics are also used by our Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods. Management believes the adjusted financial measures assist investors in the comparison of financial results between periods as such measures exclude certain items that management believes are not reflective of our core operating performance consistent with how management reviews the business.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share—Share — diluted, 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) or net income (loss) per share—share — diluted, as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of these

32


measures has limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

We have included Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share—Share — diluted as we believe it 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), certain components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs 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—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, it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Geographic Mix: Our geographically dispersed footprint helps insulate us from a particular country or regional instability, allows for optimal information technology efficiency and enhances our value proposition to travel providers. We are well positioned to capture higher value business from travel providers operating in away markets, which results in higher per transaction revenue for both us and the travel providers we serve. The table below sets forth revenue by region percentages for our Travel Commerce Platform for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017:2018:

We expect some of the regions in which we currently operate, such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, to experience growth in travel that is greater than the global average due to factors such as economic growth and a growing middle class, while more mature regions, such as the United States, remain stable. As these emerging travel regions may grow at a higher rate than mature regions, the geographic distribution of our revenue may similarly shift.

Travel Provider and Travel Agency Mix: We believe our customer mix is broadly diversified, supporting our stable and recurring business model with high revenue visibility. We provide air distribution services to approximately 480 airlines globally, including approximately 125120 LCCs. In addition, we serve numerous Beyond Air travel providers,

34


including approximately 650,000 hotel properties (of which over 500,000 are independent hotel properties), over 40,000 car rental locations, approximately 5040 cruise-line and tour operators and 13 majorover 20 rail networks worldwide. We aggregate travel content across approximately 65,000 travel agency locations representing approximately 230,000220,000 online and offline travel agency terminals worldwide, which in turn serves millions of end customers globally. None of our travel buyers or travel providers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018.

March 31, 2019.

In general, our business is characterized by multi-year travel provider and travel agency contracts, with a portion of our contracts up for renewal each year. Our ability to obtain inventory from travel providers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise-lines and other travel providers, and our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and enter into new relationships on acceptable financial and other terms impactsimpact our financial results. Our relationships with travel agencies typically are non-exclusive, meaning the travel agencies subscribe to, and have the ability to use, more than one GDS.global distribution system (“GDS”). As a result, travel agency strategies, including consolidation or changes in allocation of travel agency bookings among the GDSs, have impacted, and will continue to impact, our revenue and travel distribution costs. In addition, a travel agency’s business may be materially impacted for any reason and generate less than the anticipated volume of bookings, which, in turn, will affect our results of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our results were adversely impacted by the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency, as well as the termination of our agreement with a European online travel agency (“OTA”) due to its contract breach that resulted in a $10 million impairment of our customer loyalty payments. Our results of operations in future periods willmay be adversely impacted in the event of the termination, non-renewal or reduction in volume of bookings from customers or travel agencies should we be unable to offset any such losses with new business and/or volume increases in bookings from existing customers and travel agencies.

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

Foreign Exchange Fluctuations:We are exposed to movements in currency exchange rates that impact our operating results. While substantially all of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of our operating cost base, primarily commissions, is transacted in non-U.S. dollar currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar).

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,

35

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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

We adopted new accounting guidance on recognition of leases from January 1, 2018, we adopted new guidance2019, which had no impact on revenue recognition applying the modified retrospective method to all contracts. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are presented under the new revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under previous revenue recognition guidance. We recorded a reduction of  $1 million to our accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018, representing the cumulative impact of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance, which primarily relates to the timing of recognition of hotel reservations in our Beyond Air revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, there was an immaterial impact to net revenue as a result of applying the new revenue recognition guidance (see Note 3—Revenue to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

We have adopted new guidance on pension costs from January 1, 2018 (see Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—Pension to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). In accordance with the guidance, we have presented interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortizationstatement of actuarial gain or loss components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs separately outside of operating income. As a result of the new guidance,operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017, we reclassified $1 million from selling, general and administrative expense to other expense within the consolidated condensed statement of operations.March 31, 2019.

The increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $85 million, or 7%, was due to a $66 million, or 21%, increase in Beyond Air revenue and a $19 million, or 2%, increase in Air revenue. Overall, there was a 7% increase in Travel Commerce Platform RevPas with Reported Segments remaining stable.
Our Travel Commerce Platform continues to benefit from growth in Beyond Air revenue. The value of transactions processed on our Travel Commerce Platform increased to $46.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $41.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in the value and volume of transactions in payment solutions and increase in ticket prices in line with global trends, offset by a marginal decrease in Reported Segments. Our percentage of Air segment revenue from away bookings increased to 69% from 67%. Our hospitality segments per 100 airline tickets issued decreased to 44 from 45. Our hotel room nights grew by 2% and was 34 million and our car rental days sold grew by 5% and was 53 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

International
Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased by $81 million, or 9%, due to a 10% increase in RevPas with Reported Segments remaining stable. The increase in RevPas was a result of revenue growth in Air and growth primarily in payment solutions in Beyond Air. The increase in Air was
42

mainly due to improved pricing and mix, partially offset by the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency and a $9 million recognition of revenue in 2017 in respect of revenue deferred in previous years. Our International Travel Commerce Platform revenue as a percentage of Travel Commerce Platform revenue was 75% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 74% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Asia Pacific
Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased $6 million, or 2%, mainly due to a 12% decrease in Reported Segments, offset by an 11% increase in RevPas. Reported Segments decreased due to the loss of a large Pacific-based travel agency, partially offset by growth in India and Hong Kong. RevPas increased due to growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air.
Europe
Revenue in Europe increased $85 million, or 22%, primarily due to a 13% increase in RevPas and an 8% increase in Reported Segments. RevPas increased due to revenue growth in Air and growth in payment solutions in Beyond Air. Reported Segments increased mainly due to growth in Greece, United Kingdom and Netherlands, partially offset by decrease in Russia.
Latin America and Canada
Revenue in Latin America and Canada increased by $3 million, or 5%, primarily due to a 3% increase in Reported Segments and a 2% increase in RevPas, both mainly driven by growth in Air.
Middle East and Africa
Revenue in the Middle East and Africa decreased marginally by $1 million. The 1% decrease in RevPas was offset by a 1% increase in Reported Segments. The decrease in RevPas was mainly due to a $9 million recognition in 2017 of revenue deferred in previous years, offset by revenue growth in Air and payment solutions in Beyond Air.
United States
Revenue in the United States increased by $4 million, or 1%, due to a 1% increase in RevPas with Reported Segments remaining stable. RevPas increased primarily due to revenue growth in Air.
Technology Services
Technology Services revenue decreased $8 million, or 14%, primarily due to the sale of IGTS in April 2017.

Cost of revenue$854,189$756,545$97,64413
Cost of revenue increased by $98 million, or 13%, as a result of a $107 million, or 18%, increase in commission costs, offset by a $9 million, or 6%, decrease in technology costs. Commissions increased primarily due to incremental commission costs from our payment solutions business and a 10% increase in travel distribution costs per segment driven by pricing, mix, impairment of customer loyalty payments and unfavorable foreign exchange movements. Commissions include amortization of customer loyalty payments of $41 million and $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and an impairment of  $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting from a contract breach by a
43

European OTA. Technology costs across the shared infrastructure that runs our Travel Commerce Platform and Technology Services decreased by $9 million, or 6%, due to reduced costs resulting from the sale of IGTS in April 2017 and higher capitalization of technology investments, offset by unfavorable foreign exchange movements.

SG&A expenses increased by $42 million, or 19%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017. SG&A expenses include $38 million and $6 million of charges for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for non-core corporate costs that are removed from Adjusted EBITDA. Excluding these items, our SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $10 million, or 5%. Workforce expenses, which include the wages and benefits of our selling, marketing, advertising, finance and legal personnel, increased by $16 million, or 9%, primarily due to merit, headcount and other employee-related incentives and unfavorable foreign exchange movements. Non-workforce expenses, which include the costs of finance and legal professional fees, communications and marketing and foreign exchange related costs, decreased by $5 million, or 13%, primarily due to realized foreign exchange gains.
Non-core corporate costs of $38 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, represent costs related to strategic transactions and restructurings, equity-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, certain legal and related costs and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses related to derivatives. The increase of  $32 million is primarily due to $39 million of unfavorable movements in the fair value of unrealized foreign currency derivative contracts offset by $5 million of lower corporate and restructuring costs and $4 million of lower equity-based compensation and related taxes.

Total depreciation and amortization decreased by $8 million, or 8%, due to a lower level of depreciable property and equipment. Amortization of acquired intangible assets remained stable.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased by $25 million, or 39%, primarily due to (i) a $16 million favorable impact of fair value changes on our interest rate swap derivative contracts, (ii) a $3 million reduction due to our lower debt balance and (iii) a $3 million decrease in amortization of debt finance costs and debt discount during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to six months ended June 30, 2017.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In March 2018, we issued senior secured notes and entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The proceeds from the issuance of the senior secured notes and term loan borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement, along with cash on our balance sheet, were used to fully repay our borrowings under the previous senior secured credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”). This transaction was accounted for as the issuance of new debt and an extinguishment of existing debt resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of  $28 million.
Gain on Sale of a Subsidiary
In April 2017, we sold our 51% controlling interest in IGTS for a total gross cash consideration of  $18 million and recorded a gain on the sale of such subsidiary of   $1 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our tax provision differs significantly from the expected provision amount calculated at the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of  (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, (ii) a valuation allowance maintained in various jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the U.K., due to historical losses in such jurisdictions, (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax or do not secure an effective tax deduction under the relevant jurisdictions, (iv) certain income or gains that are not subject to tax, (v) items identified as discrete during the interim period, (vi) the impact of the U.S. Tax Reforms and (vii) the impact of changes in the U.K. to the tax deductibility of interest.

As of December 31, 2017,2018, our deferred tax assetassets in respect of U.S. and non-U.S.non–U.S. NOL carry forwards and U.S. tax credits was $197$208 million. We believe it is more likely than not that the benefit from such deferred tax assets will not be

2018.

We regularly assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our estimate of our annual effective tax rate includes the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance associated with both the U.S. and U.K. NOL carry forwards (see below).forwards. However, we have maintainedmaintain a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets. Future realized earnings performance and changes in future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause an adjustment to the conclusion as to whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. This would impact the income tax expense in the period for which it is determined that these factors have changed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Travel Solutions net revenue decreased $31 million, or 5%, due to a decline in both Air and Beyond Air (excluding Payment Solutions) revenue of $20 million, or 4%, and $9 million, or 8%, respectively, and a decline in Technology Services revenue of $2 million, or 7%. The decline in Air and Beyond Air (excluding Payment Solutions) revenue was primarily due to a 7% decrease in Reported Segments and decreases in hospitality and digital services revenue driven by the reduction in activity with certain travel agencies. The decline in Technology Services revenue was primarily due to lower hosting fees.

Payment Solutions net revenue increased by $10 million, or 13%, primarily due to improved pricing and an increase in the volume of payments settled with existing customers.

Substantially all of our Air revenue within our Travel Commerce Platform is collected through the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), Airline Clearing House (“ACH”) and other similar clearing houses. Both, IATA and ACH, requiresrequire participants to deposit certain balances into their demand deposit accounts by certain deadlines, which facilitates a timely settlement process. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Air revenue accounted for approximately 68%69% of our net revenue; however, only 48%51% of our outstanding receivables related to customers using the IATA or the ACH as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The IATA and the ACH receivables are collected on average in 3230 days. Beyond Air revenue is generally not collected through the IATA or the ACH process and takes longer to collect. Our average net collection period for total accounts receivable, net, was 3736 DSO as of both June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019 and December  31, 2017.2018. The growth in Air revenue in June 2018March 2019 compared to December 20172018 primarily contributed to the increase in our accounts receivables,receivable, net, balance.

Our revenue can experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. Our accounts receivable balance increased by $56$50 million from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and our accrued commissions and incentives increased by $53$41 million from December 31,

2017 2018 to June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, reflecting the seasonality in our business. Seasonality trends generally cause our revenue to be higher in the first and second quarters as compared to the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Revenue and related cost of revenue typically peaks during the first half of the year as travelers plan and book their upcoming spring and summer travel.

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Free Cash Flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We use this measure to conduct and evaluate our operating liquidity. We believe it typically presents an alternate measure of cash flows since purchases of property and equipment are a necessary component of our ongoing operations and provides useful information regarding how cash provided by operating activities compares to the property and equipment investments required to maintain and grow our platform. We believe it provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAPnon — GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. This measure has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent cash flow for discretionary expenditures. This measure should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. This measure is not measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

We use Capital Expenditures to determine our total cash spent on acquisition of property and equipment and cash repayment of capitalfinance lease obligationliabilities and other indebtedness. We believe this measure provides management and investors an understanding of total capital invested in the development of our platform. Capital Expenditures is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other entities. This measure has limitation in that it aggregates cash flows from investing and financing activities as determined under U.S. GAAP.

As of June 30,

(1)

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the principal amount of term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement was $1,380 million and $1,385 million, respectively, which is netted for unamortized debt discount of $6 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and unamortized debt finance costs of $6 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(2)

As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the principal amount of senior secured notes outstanding was $745 million, which is netted for unamortized debt finance costs of $6 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprised of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Net Debt is a non — GAAP measure and 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. The management uses Net Debt to review our 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we (i) repaid $6 million principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement was $1,400our senior secured credit agreement and (ii) amortized $1 million which is netted for unamortized debt discount of  $7 million and unamortized debt finance costs of  $7 million.

The management uses Net Debt to review our 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.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
In March 2018, Travelport Finance (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into the 2018 Credit Agreement under which, the lenders agreed to extend credit to the Borrower in the form of  (a) initial secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of  $1,400 million maturing in March 2025, issued at a discount of 0.50%, which amortizes in quarterly installments, commencing August 31, 2018, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loans, with the balance payable at maturity and (b) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million maturing in September 2022. We used the net proceeds from these term loans, together with the proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes (discussed below) and cash on the balance sheet, to repay the outstanding balance remaining of the term loans under the 2014 Credit Agreement and pay the related transaction expenses and fees. Upon the repayment in full of the obligations, the 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated. We recorded the debt refinancing transaction as the issuance of new debt and extinguishment of prior debt and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of  $28 million in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
49

Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, the interest rate per annum applicable to (a) the term loans is based on, at theour election, of the Borrower, LIBOR plus 2.50% or base rate (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement)senior secured credit agreement) plus 1.50% and (b) the borrowings under revolving credit facility, at theour election, of the Borrower, LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) plus 1.25%. LIBOR rates and base rates have a floor of 0.00%. We expect to pay interest based on LIBOR.

Further, during

We are not contractually required to repay quarterly installments of the six months ended June 30, 2018,term loans until the fourth quarter of 2019. However, we (i) repaidhave classified a portion of our term loans (along with the contractual quarterly installmentinstallments) as current portion of $6 million principallong-term debt as we intend, and are able, to make additional voluntary prepayments of the term loans from cash flow from operations, which we expect to occur within the next twelve months. The amount of term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement, (ii) amortized $2 million of debt finance costsany such prepayments may vary based on our actual cash flow generation and $1 million of debt discount, (iii) repaid $18 million under our capital lease obligations and entered into new capital leases arrangements for information technology assets resulting in a $62 million increase in capital lease obligations and (iv) repaid $1 million under our other indebtedness obligations.

As discussed above, in March 2018, the Borrower entered into a new revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement with a consortium of banks. The lenders, terms, credit facility amount and maturity date under the new revolving credit facility are substantially the sameneeds, as under the 2014 Credit Agreement, except for the reduction in interest rates discussed above. well as general economic conditions.

Under the new terms, the Borrower hassenior secured credit agreement, we have a $150 million revolving credit facility, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of $100 million. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement,senior secured credit agreement, and $8$4 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit, with a balance of $142$146 million remaining.

Change of Control

The Merger (as discussed in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and the Merger to our consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), if completed, will be considered an “Event of Default” under the terms of senior secured credit agreement, and, as a result, the Administrative Agent (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) may and, at the request of the majority of lenders, shall (i) declare the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding term loans and revolving credit loans and the amount of all outstanding payments made by a lender pursuant to a letter of credit, along with the interest accrued and unpaid thereon, to be immediately due and payable,  (ii) require us to provide cash as collateral in an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit plus any unreimbursed drawings and (iii) terminate all the commitments of the lenders provided to us. In order to avoid triggering such an “Event of Default,”  we expect to repay amounts outstanding, including accrued and unpaid interest, under the senior secured credit agreement concurrently with, and conditional upon, the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the senior secured credit agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

We re-evaluate our capital structure from time to time including, but not limited to, refinancing our current indebtedness with other indebtedness which may have different interest rates, maturities and covenants.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our floating rate debt under the 2018 Credit Agreement.our senior secured credit agreement. We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Our primary interest rate exposure as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States, specifically the impact of LIBOR interest rates on our dollar denominated floating rate debt. Interest on the $1,400$1,380 million principal amount of term loans under the 2018 Credit Agreementour senior secured credit agreement is currently charged at LIBOR plus 2.50%. In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we have outstanding interest rate swap contracts that fix the LIBOR rate payable as follows:

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate exposure were designated as accounting hedges. 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. Gains (losses)(Losses) gains on these interest rate derivative financial instruments were $16$(5) million and $(5)$11 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that arises from certain intercompany transactions, earnings denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and from non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities.

We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

During 2018,2019, we used foreign currency derivative contracts (i.e. forward contracts) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had $440$405 million net notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts.

During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, none of the 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

51

condensed statements of operations. (Losses) gains on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $(13)$(3) million and $11$5 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair values of our foreign currency derivative financial instruments partially offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risks they are intended to economically hedge.

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our derivative contracts that hedge our interest rate and foreign currency exposure had a net assetliability position of $10$9 million and cover transactions for a period that does not exceed fourthree years.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and a 10% change (increase and decrease) in the exchange rates against the U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. There are certain limitations inherent in these sensitivity analyses as our overall market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the volatility present within markets and the liquidity of markets. These “shock tests” are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include complex market reactions normally arising from the market shifts modelled.

Interest Rate Risk

We assess our interest rate market risk utilizing a sensitivity analysis based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we have determined, through such analysis, that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, based on the outstanding floating rate debt balance, would increase or decrease our annualized interest charge by $14 million, excluding the effect of fair value changes on our interest rate swaps.

In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from increases in LIBOR, we have entered into several interest rate swap derivative contracts. We have not hedge accounted for these swaps. Mark to market fair value changes on these swaps, which represent the net present value of future cash flows on the swaps, are accounted for within interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statement of operations. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a credit or debit, respectively, to our interest expense of $26$19 million due to changes in the fair value of these swaps.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, particularly with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. We anticipate such foreign currency exchange rate risk will remain a market risk exposure for the foreseeable future. We assess our foreign currency market risk utilizing a sensitivity analysis based upon a hypothetical 10% change (increase or decrease) in exchange rate against the U.S. dollar on the value of our foreign currency derivative instruments as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. We have determined, through the sensitivity analysis, that the impact of a 10% strengthening or weakening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar would result in a debit or credit, respectively, of $42 million and a 10% weakening in the U.S. dollar exchange rate with respect to the same currencies would result in a credit of  $43$38 million on our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

There were no material changes to our market risks as previously disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.22, 2019.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There

The consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of remaining conditions, including regulatory approval in Russia, and if these conditions are not satisfied, the Merger will not be consummated.

Although we obtained shareholder approval of the Merger and the termination or expiration of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the competition laws of Austria, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and Turkey, consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of additional conditions that may not occur, including approval under the competition laws in Russia.

Russian regulatory and governmental entities may impose conditions on the granting of such approval and, if such regulatory and governmental entities seek to impose such conditions, lengthy negotiations may ensue among such regulatory or governmental entities, Siris, Elliott and us. The process of obtaining Russian approval has had the effect of delaying completion of the Merger, and such approval may not be received and conditions thereto may not be satisfied for an extended period of time.

The obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the satisfaction of performance of obligations, in each case as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to specified materiality exceptions. The obligations of Siris and Elliott to close are also subject to the absence of any material adverse effect on us. As a result of the above-mentioned conditions and the other conditions described in the Merger Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated.

Should the Merger fail to close for any reason, our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.
