As of August 22, 2008, 83,231,614 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. were outstanding.
Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. is filing this amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007, originally filed on November 14, 2007 (the "Original Filing"), to amend and restate its condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 and for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Subsequent to the Original Filing, we determined that we should restate our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for errors relating to (1) the non-cash impact of certain intercompany transactions with Travelport in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and (2) the classification of certain credit card receipts in-transit in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result, we are restating our previously issued condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and our previously issued condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 in this Form 10-Q/A to correct these errors.
We determined that the non-cash impact of certain intercompany transactions with Travelport was overstated in "Net cash provided by operating activities" and correspondingly understated in "Net cash used in financing activities" in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
In addition, we determined that credit card receipts in-transit at our foreign operations (which are generally collected within two to three days) should have been classified as "Accounts receivable" rather than "Cash and cash equivalents" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007. This change in classification is consistent with our presentation of credit card receipts in-transit at our domestic operations and resulted in a reduction in "Cash and cash equivalents" and an increase in "Accounts receivable" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007. This reclassification also impacted "Net cash provided by operating activities" in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Refer to Note 17—Restatement of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this restatement.
The following sections of this Form 10-Q/A have been amended to reflect the restatement: Part I—Item 1—Financial Statements (Unaudited), Part I—Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Part I—Item 4—Controls and Procedures, and Part II—Item 6—Exhibits.
For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, as amended by, and to reflect, the restatement. Except to the extent required to reflect the effects of the restatement described above, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as of the Original Filing, and does not update disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred after the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.
New certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are included as exhibits to this Form 10-Q/A.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation
Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June 18, 2007 and formed to be the parent company of Orbitz, Inc. ("Orbitz"), ebookers Limited ("ebookers") and Travel Acquisition Corporation Pty. Ltd. ("HotelClub," formerly known as Flairview) and the related subsidiaries and affiliates of those businesses. The Company is the registrant as a result of the completion of its initial public offering ("IPO") of 34,000,000 shares of its common stock at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share on July 25, 2007.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements primarily consist of the online travel businesses of Travelport Limited ("Travelport"), which have been carved out from the Travelport operations. The financial statements present the accounts of Orbitz, ebookers and HotelClub and the related subsidiaries and affiliates of those businesses, collectively doing business as Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. These entities were indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Travelport prior to the IPO. These entities became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as part of an intercompany restructuring that was completed on July 18, 2007 (the "Reorganization"). Following the IPO, an affiliate of Travelport retained a 59% equity interest in the Company. Travelport is controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group ("Blackstone"), Technology Crossover Ventures and One Equity Partners.
Prior to the IPO, the Company had not operated as an independent standalone company. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been carved out of the historical financial statements of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") for the period prior to Travelport's acquisition of the travel related businesses of Cendant on August 23, 2006 (the "Blackstone Acquisition") and the historical financial statements of Travelport for the period subsequent to the Blackstone Acquisition. In connection with the Blackstone Acquisition, the carrying values of the Company's assets and liabilities were revised to reflect their fair values as of August 23, 2006, based upon an allocation of the overall purchase price of Travelport to the underlying net assets of the various Travelport affiliates acquired. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present separately the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the Company on a "Successor" basis (reflecting the Company's ownership by Travelport) and "Predecessor" basis (reflecting the Company's ownership by Cendant). The financial information of the Company has been separated by a vertical line on the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements to identify these different bases of accounting.
The Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for periods prior to the IPO may not be indicative of its future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, standalone entity during the periods presented.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Company's businesses were operated by Cendant and Travelport as a part of their broader corporate organizations, rather than as a separate consolidated entity. The legal entity of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. was not formed until the Reorganization, and there was no single capital structure upon which to calculate historical earnings (loss) per share information. Accordingly, earnings (loss) per share information has not been presented for historical periods prior to the Reorganization.

ORBITZ WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
(All amounts are in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise noted)
1. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The Company sold all of the stock in Tecnovate, an Indian services organization, on July 5, 2007. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," as revised ("FIN 46(R)"), the Company continues to consolidate the results of operations of Tecnovate since it is the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company's variable interest is the result of the terms of a contractual relationship the Company has with Tecnovate. Minority interest is reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the Company no longer has an ownership interest in the VIE.
The Company prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the year-end combined consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2007.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from estimates.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"), providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. GAAP has required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities, which can create artificial volatility in earnings. SFAS No. 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules

for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the Company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires the Company to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities that it has chosen to report at fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its financial statements.
3. Income Taxes and FIN 48
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against $32 million of foreign deferred tax assets related to portions of its UK based business in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS No. 109 requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard. Prior to the IPO, the Company had the ability to realize these assets through offsetting of taxable income of other Travelport subsidiaries and affiliates in the UK and had included these tax assets in the combined consolidated financial statements of the Company on that basis. As a result of the IPO and the reduction of common ownership between the Company and Travelport, the tax losses underlying these deferred tax assets are no longer available for consumption by other affiliates of Travelport. As a consequence, the Company has recorded a $32 million valuation allowance for the previously recorded deferred tax assets and accumulated losses. Under SFAS No. 109, this valuation allowance could not be recorded until after the completion of the IPO.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007, as required. There was no impact of the adoption of FIN 48 on the Company's financial statements.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement relating to the Blackstone Acquisition, the Company is indemnified for all pre-closing income tax liabilities. For purposes of FIN 48, with respect to periods prior to the Blackstone Acquisition, the Company is only required to take into account tax returns for which it or one of its affiliates is the primary taxpaying entity, namely separate state returns and non-U.S. returns. U.S. federal and state combined and unitary tax returns are only applicable in the post-Blackstone Acquisition period. The Company, joined by its domestic subsidiaries, files a consolidated income tax return for federal income tax purposes. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2001.

5. Property and Equipment, Net (Continued)
In July 2007, the Company placed the first phase of its new global technology platform into service. As a result, construction in progress costs of $42 million were transferred to the applicable property and equipment category, primarily capitalized software, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
For the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment in the amount of $6 million, $5 million and $12 million, respectively.

Interest is capitalized on internal software development projects in accordance with SFAS No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost," and Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The amount capitalized is computed by applying the Company's weighted average borrowing rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures in the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the total amount of interest capitalized was almost nil and $3 million, respectively.

7. Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability
The tax sharing liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets relates to an agreement between Orbitz and its former owners or their affiliates (the "Founding Airlines") governing the allocation of tax benefits resulting from a taxable exchange that took place in connection with the Orbitz initial public offering in December 2003 ("Orbitz IPO"). As a result of this taxable exchange, the Company is entitled to additional deductions for depreciation and amortization, which may reduce the amount of taxes the Company is required to pay. For each tax period during the term of the tax agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the Founding Airlines a significant percentage of the amount of such tax benefit realized attributable to that taxable exchange. The tax agreement commenced upon consummation of the Orbitz IPO and continues until all tax benefits have been utilized.

7. Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability (Continued)
The remaining payments that may be due under this agreement are $277 million, which the Company expects to pay principally over the next 37 years. Based upon the Company's assumptions regarding the realization of the tax benefits, the Company calculated the net present value of the tax sharing liability utilizing a discount rate of 11.5%. The Company estimates that the net present value of its obligation to pay tax benefits to the Founding Airlines was $135 million and $139 million at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, respectively. This estimate is based upon certain assumptions, including the applicable tax rate, period of payment and discount rate, all of which the Company believes are reasonable. Such assumptions are inherently uncertain, however, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company completed the re-negotiation of its unfavorable contract with Worldspan in July 2007, concurrent with the then pending acquisition of Worldspan by Travelport (see Note 8—Unfavorable Contracts). In August 2007, upon the completion of this acquisition, the existing unfavorable contract was settled and the new contract became effective. The rates earned under the new contract approximate market rates. This resulted in a change in forecasted tax payments under the tax sharing liability and corresponding expense of $1 million to reflect the current impact on the reported balance of the tax sharing liability. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
In connection with finalizing the purchase accounting for the Blackstone Acquisition, the Company refined certain estimates, including the applicable tax rate, period of payment and discount rate, previously used to determine the net present value of the tax sharing liability as of the Blackstone Acquisition. This resulted in an $8 million decrease in the tax sharing liability and a corresponding decrease in goodwill in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 4—Goodwill and Intangible Assets).
The Predecessor accreted interest expense related to the tax sharing liability of $2 million for the period from July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and the Successor accreted interest expense related to the tax sharing liability of $2 million for the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The Predecessor accreted interest expense related to the tax sharing liability of $13 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and the Successor accreted interest expense related to the tax sharing liability of $2 million for the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and $11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Based upon the payments expected to be made within one year of the balance sheet date, $9 million of the tax sharing liability is included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007. The Company was indemnified by Cendant for amounts due under the tax sharing agreement at the time of the Blackstone Acquisition. As a result, the Company has recorded a receivable of $37 million which is included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007.

8. Unfavorable Contracts
Worldspan
The former Worldspan contract was structured such that the Company received an inducement fee for each air travel and car rental segment that it processed using global distribution systems ("GDS") services provided by Worldspan. The rates earned under the former Worldspan contract were considered unfavorable when compared to market rates at the time of Cendant's acquisition of Orbitz in 2004 and the Blackstone Acquisition in 2006. As a result, an unfavorable contract liability was recorded at its fair value at each acquisition date. At December 31, 2006, the net present value of the unfavorable contract liability was $32 million. This liability was being amortized to revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the remaining contractual term.
The Company completed the re-negotiation of its unfavorable contract with Worldspan in July 2007, concurrent with the then pending acquisition of Worldspan by Travelport. The Company entered into the new contract with Travelport to use GDS services provided by both Galileo and Worldspan. The new contract replaced the unfavorable contract discussed above as well as a GDS contract the Company had with Galileo. The new contract became effective in July 2007 with respect to GDS services provided by Galileo. In August 2007, upon the completion of the acquisition of Worldspan, the new contract became effective for GDS services provided by Worldspan. As a result, the former unfavorable contract was settled, and the Company reversed the liability that was previously recorded in its balance sheet. Because Galileo and Worldspan are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Travelport, the settlement of the unfavorable contract was deemed to be an action of a shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, a capital contribution equal to the amount of the unfavorable contract liability relieved on the effective date of the new contract, with respect to GDS services provided by Worldspan, was recorded by the Company. The rates earned under the new contract approximate market rates and are described in further detail in Note 14—Related Party Transactions.
The Company recognized revenue under the unfavorable Worldspan contract in the amount of $2 million, almost nil, and $1 million for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company recognized revenue under this unfavorable contract in the amount of $6 million, almost nil, and $4 million for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Charter Associate Agreements
The Company has airline charter associate agreements, or "Charter Associate Agreements," with the Founding Airlines as well as US Airways ("Charter Associate Airlines"). Under the Charter Associate Agreements, the Company must pay a portion of the inducement fee earned from the Worldspan contract discussed above to the Charter Associate Airlines in the form of a rebate. The rebate payments are made in part for in-kind marketing and promotional support received, however a portion of the payments are deemed to be unfavorable, as the Company receives no benefit for such payments. The rebate structure continues to apply to the inducement fees earned under the new

contract that the Company entered into with Travelport for the portion of GDS services provided by Worldspan. See Note 14—Related Party Transactions for additional information on the new contract.
The rebate structure under the Charter Associate Agreements was considered unfavorable when compared to market conditions at the time of Cendant's acquisition of Orbitz in 2004 and the Blackstone Acquisition in 2006. As a result, an unfavorable contract liability was recorded at its fair value at each acquisition date. The fair value of the unfavorable contract liability was determined using discounted cash flows of the expected rebates, net of the expected fair value of in-kind marketing support.
At December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, the net present value of the unfavorable contract liability was $23 million and $21 million, respectively. This liability is being amortized to revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the remaining contractual term. The Company recognized revenue for the unfavorable portion of the Charter Associate Agreements in the amount of almost nil, $1 million and almost nil for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company recognized revenue for the unfavorable portion of the Charter Associate Agreements in the amount of $1 million, $1 million and $2 million for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
9. Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
Term Loan
On July 25, 2007, concurrent with the IPO, the Company entered into a $600 million senior secured term loan facility ("term loan") which bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or an alternative base rate and matures on July 25, 2014. The Company entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively convert $300 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate (see Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments). The Company incurred $4 million of issuance costs to enter into the term loan. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the term loan based on the effective-yield method.
At September 30, 2007, $600 million was outstanding on the term loan. The effective interest rate on the $300 million of the outstanding term loan at September 30, 2007 that bears a fixed rate through interest rate swaps was 8.31%, whereas the effective interest rate on the remaining $300 million that bears interest at a variable rate was 8.30%.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company also entered into a revolving credit facility on July 25, 2007 that provides for borrowings of up to $85 million and bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or an alternative base rate (the spread is subject to change based on the Company's total leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement under which the facility was arranged). The Company also incurs a

9. Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility (Continued)
commitment fee of 50 basis points on any unused amounts on the revolving credit facility. This facility matures on July 25, 2013.
The Company incurred $1 million of issuance costs to enter into this facility. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the facility based on the effective-yield method. At September 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility.
The term loan and revolving credit facility are both secured by substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of substantially all of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, 65% of the shares or equity interests of such foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
10. Derivative Financial Instruments
On July 25, 2007, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively convert $300 million of the term loan from a variable to a fixed interest rate. The first swap has a notional amount of $100 million and matures on December 31, 2008. The second swap has a notional amount of $200 million and matures on December 31, 2009. The Company pays a fixed rate of 5.207% on both swaps and in exchange receives a variable rate based on LIBOR. The objective of entering into these swaps is to protect against volatility of future cash flows and effectively hedge the variable interest payments on the term loan. The Company believes that these designated hedging instruments qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company does not use interest rate swaps for speculative or trading purposes.
The interest rate swaps are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at market value. The total market value of the swaps at September 30, 2007 represented a liability of $3 million and was included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The corresponding market adjustment was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. There was no hedge ineffectiveness incurred as of September 30, 2007.

12. Equity-Based Compensation
Travelport Equity Based Long-Term Incentive Program
Travelport introduced an equity based long-term incentive program in 2006 for the purpose of retaining certain key employees, including employees of the Company. Under this program, key employees were granted restricted equity units in Travelport and interests in the partnership that indirectly owns Travelport. Travelport's board of directors approved the grant of up to 100 million units under the plan. The equity awards issued consisted of four classes of partnership interest. The Class A-2 equity units vest at a pro-rata rate of 6.25% per quarter and become fully vested in May 2010. The Class B partnership interests vest annually over a four-year period beginning in August 2007. The Class C and D partnership interests vest upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events.
On July 18, 2007, the restricted equity units and Class B partnership interests were converted to restricted stock units and restricted shares in Orbitz Worldwide under its 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan described below. This conversion affected 14 employees of Orbitz Worldwide. The conversion of the restricted equity units was based on the relative value of the shares of the Company's common stock compared to that of Travelport's Class A-2 capital interests at the time of the IPO. The conversion of the Class B partnership interests was based on the relative value of the shares of the Company's common stock compared to the aggregate liquidation value of the Class B partnership interests at the time of the IPO. The Class C and D partnership interests were deemed to have no fair value as of the conversion date and as such were forfeited. Subsequent to the conversion, the Company also granted restricted stock units and stock options as additional compensation to the employees who previously held the Travelport interests. This compensation was granted as an award in consideration of potential future increases in value of the awards previously granted under the Travelport long-term incentive program. No incremental compensation expense was recognized as a result of the conversion.

No partnership interests were vested prior to the conversion date. The Company expensed the restricted equity units and the Class B partnership interests on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based upon the fair value of the award on the grant date. The Company did not record any compensation expense for the Class C and Class D partnership interests as it was determined that it was not probable that these awards would vest.
Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan
On July 18, 2007, the Company and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à r.l, as the Company's sole stockholder prior to the IPO, approved the Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to the Company's directors, officers and other employees, advisors and consultants who are selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for participation in the Plan. In addition, the Company may grant annual cash bonuses and long-term cash awards under the Plan. 6,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Stock Options
The exercise price of stock options is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. All stock options expire ten years from the grant date. The stock options granted as additional compensation to the employees who previously held the Travelport equity awards vested 5.555% in August 2007 and will vest an additional 8.586% on each subsequent November, February, May and August through February 2010, and become fully vested on May 2010. All other stock options granted vest annually over a four-year period. The fair value of stock options on the date of grant is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

12. Equity-Based Compensation (Continued)
The fair value of stock options granted from the Plan's inception on July 18, 2007 to September 30, 2007 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the weighted average assumptions outlined in the table below. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities for publicly traded options and historical volatility for comparable companies over the estimated expected life of the stock options. The expected life represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the "simplified method," as defined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share-Based Payments." The risk-free interest rate is based on yields on U.S. Treasury strips with a maturity similar to the estimated expected life of the stock options. The Company uses historical turnover to estimate employee forfeitures.
Assumptions: | | ||
---|---|---|---|
Dividend yield | — | ||
Expected volatility | 38 | % | |
Expected life (in years) | 6.16 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.86 | % |
Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted from July 18, 2007 to September 30, 2007 was $6.90.
The table below summarizes the option activity under the Plan from July 18, 2007 to September 30, 2007:
| Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price (per share) | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |||||

Ending Balance at September 30, 2007 | 2,717,925 | $ | 15.00 | 9.8 | — | ||||
Exercisable at September 30, 2007 | 27,495 | $ | 15.00 | 9.8 | — | ||||
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price. The exercise price of stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2007 exceeded the market value and therefore, the aggregate intrinsic value was zero.
The total number of stock options that vested during the period from July 18, 2007 to September 30, 2007 and the total fair value thereof was 27,495 and almost nil, respectively.

12. Equity-Based Compensation (Continued)
As of September 30, 2007, $32 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, non-vested restricted stock units, and non-vested restricted stock are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 3 years.
The Company recognized total compensation expense of $3 million related to both equity awards issued under the Travelport equity based long-term incentive plan and to stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock granted under the Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, none of which has provided the Company a tax benefit.
Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan
In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted a deferred compensation plan to enable non-employee directors of the Company to defer the receipt of certain compensation earned in their capacity as non-employee directors of the Company. Eligible directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fees (which are paid by the Company on a quarterly basis). The Company requires that at least 50% of the annual retainer be deferred under the plan. In addition, 100% of the annual equity grant payable to non-employee directors is deferred under the plan.
The Company grants deferred stock units to each participating director on the date that the deferred fees would have otherwise been paid to the director. The deferred stock units are issued as restricted stock units under the Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan.
The deferred stock units granted under the plan are immediately vested and non-forfeitable and entitle the director to receive one share of the Company's common stock on the date that is 200 days immediately following the director's retirement or termination of service from the board of directors, for any reason. The entire grant date fair value of deferred stock units is expensed on the date of grant.
A total of 48,830 deferred stock units were granted during the third quarter of 2007 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.08 per share. The Company recognized total compensation expense of $1 million related to these awards, none of which has provided the Company a tax benefit.
13. Employee Benefit Plans
Travelport and Cendant sponsored defined contribution savings plans for employees in the United States that provided certain eligible employees of the Company an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement. In addition, the foreign businesses of HotelClub and ebookers sponsor similar defined contribution savings plans. In September 2007, the Company adopted a qualified defined contribution savings plan for employees in the United States that replaces the existing Travelport and Cendant sponsored defined contribution savings plans, but does not alter the plans of the foreign businesses of HotelClub and ebookers. The Company matches the contributions of participating employees on the basis specified by the plans.
The Company recorded expense related to these plans in the amount of nil, $1 million and almost nil for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for

the three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company recorded expense related to these plans in the amount of $2 million, $1 million and $3 million for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
14. Related Party Transactions
Corporate Related Functions
The condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects an allocation of both general and corporate overhead expenses and directly billed expenses incurred on our behalf from Travelport and Cendant. General corporate overhead expenses have been allocated based on a percentage of the forecasted revenue. Direct billed expenses were based upon actual utilization of the services. Costs subject to the overhead allocations and direct billings include executive management, tax, insurance, accounting, legal, treasury, information technology, telecommunications, call center support and real estate expenses.
The Company was allocated almost nil and $4 million of general corporate expenses and almost nil and $2 million of directly billed expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. These expenses are no longer allocated to the Company following its IPO.
Upon completion of the IPO, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Travelport under which Travelport will provide the Company with certain insurance, human resources and employee benefits, payroll, tax, communications, information technology and other existing shared services. The term of the services provided for under the transition services agreement generally expires on March 31, 2008, subject to certain exceptions. The Company incurred $1 million of expenses under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Notes Payable to Travelport
On January 26, 2007 and January 30, 2007, the Company became the obligor on two intercompany notes payable to affiliates of Travelport in the amounts of $25 million and $835 million, respectively, and recorded an $860 million reduction to net invested equity. These notes accrued interest at a fixed rate of 10.25% and were scheduled to mature on February 19, 2014. On July 25, 2007, the Company used proceeds from its IPO and senior secured term loan facility to repay the notes and the interest accrued thereon in full. The Company recorded interest expense of $6 million and $43 million on these notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded interest expense of nil and $6 million, respectively, related to intercompany notes that had been executed between and among subsidiaries of Travelport and the Company's subsidiaries at the time of the Blackstone Acquisition. These notes were assigned to the Company in connection with the Reorganization, and the interest accrued thereon was paid to Travelport in connection with the IPO.

14. Related Party Transactions (Continued)
Galileo / Worldspan
As discussed in Note 8—Unfavorable Contracts, the Company had an unfavorable contract with Worldspan. In July 2007, the Company entered into a new GDS contract with Travelport to use GDS services provided by both Galileo and Worldspan. This contract became effective in July 2007 with respect to GDS services provided by Galileo and in August 2007 with respect to GDS services provided by Worldspan. The new contract replaced the unfavorable contract with Worldspan, as well as the Company's former GDS contract with Galileo and makes Travelport the exclusive GDS provider for air, car and hotel segments, subject to certain exceptions. The contract expires on December 31, 2014.
The new contract is structured such that the Company receives an inducement fee for each segment that is processed through Galileo and Worldspan. The contract also requires that the Company process 33 million segments during 2007, 16 million segments through Worldspan and 17 million segments through Galileo. The required number of segments booked in future years for Worldspan remains fixed at 16 million segments while the required number of segments for Galileo is subject to adjustment based upon the actual segments booked in the preceding year. The Company's failure to process the required number of segments would result in a shortfall payment of $1.25 per segment below the required minimum. If the Company meets the minimum, it is not required to make payments of any kind to Galileo or Worldspan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the booking incentives related to these agreements were $25 million and $61 million, respectively.
Octopus / Donvand
Donvand Limited and OctopusTravel Group Limited (collectively, "GTA"), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Travelport, provide certain of the Company's subsidiaries with hotel consulting services and access to certain of their hotels and destination services pursuant to franchise agreements under which the Company receives access to the hotel rooms and destination services at agreed-upon rates, which the Company typically marks up, in exchange for franchise fees that it pays to GTA. These franchise agreements are expected to continue until December 31, 2007, when the Company's new Master Supply and Services Agreement (the "GTA Agreement") with GTA, becomes effective. Under the current franchise agreements, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid fees of $5 million and $13 million, respectively.
Under the terms of the GTA Agreement, which is effective beginning January 1, 2008 (or earlier if Donvand Limited and the Company are no longer owned by Travelport), the Company will pay GTA a contract rate for hotel and destination services inventory provided by GTA for promotion and reservation on the Company's websites. The contract rate will exceed the prices at which suppliers make such inventory available to GTA for distribution and will be based on a percentage of the prices GTA charges to its wholesale customers for such inventory. The Company will also be subject to additional fees if it exceeds certain specified sales levels. The initial term of the GTA Agreement expires on December 31, 2010. Under the GTA Agreement, the Company is restricted from providing distribution of hotels and destination services to certain of GTA's clients until December 31, 2010.
On July 5, 2007, the Company completed the sale of stock of Tecnovate, an Indian services organization, to TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à r.l, an affiliate of the Company, for $25 million.

Blackstone
On July 16, 2007, the Company completed the sale of an offline UK travel subsidiary. Pursuant to an agreement between Travelport and Blackstone, Blackstone provides financial advisory services to the Company and Travelport in connection with certain business transactions, including dispositions. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company paid $2 million to Blackstone for advisory services upon completion of the sale.
15. Commitments and 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 within the United States and abroad.
The Company is party to various cases brought by consumers and municipalities and other U.S. governmental entities involving hotel occupancy taxes and the Company's merchant hotel business model. Some of the cases are purported class actions and most of the cases were brought simultaneously against other Internet travel companies, including Expedia, Travelocity and Priceline. The cases allege, among other things, that the Company violated the jurisdictions' hotel occupancy tax ordinance with respect to the charges and remittance of amounts to cover taxes under the ordinance. While not identical in their allegations, the cases generally assert similar claims, including violations of local or state occupancy tax ordinances, violations of consumer protection ordinances, conversion, unjust enrichment, imposition of a constructive trust, demand for a legal or equitable accounting, injunctive relief, declaratory judgment, and in some cases, civil conspiracy. The plaintiffs seek relief in a variety of forms, including: declaratory judgment, full accounting of monies owed, imposition of a constructive trust, compensatory and punitive damages, disgorgement, restitution, interest, penalties and costs, attorneys' fees, and where a class action has been claimed, an order certifying the action as a class action. An adverse ruling in one or more of these cases could require the Company to pay tax retroactively and prospectively and possibly pay penalties, interest and fines. The proliferation of additional cases could result in substantial additional defense costs.
The Company has also been contacted by several municipalities or other taxing bodies concerning its possible obligations with respect to state or local hotel occupancy or related taxes. The City of New Orleans, Louisiana, the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the City of Madison, Wisconsin, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, the counties of Miami Dade and Broward, Florida, the cities of Alpharetta, Atlanta, Cartersville, Cedartown, College Park, Columbus, Dalton, East Point, Hartwell, Macon, Rockmart, Rome, Tybee Island and Warner Robins, Georgia, the counties of Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett, Georgia, the cities of Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego, California, state and local tax officials from Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and a third-party on behalf of unnamed municipalities and counties in Alabama, among others, have begun or attempted to pursue formal or informal administrative procedures or audits or stated that they may assert claims against the Company relating to allegedly unpaid state or local hotel occupancy or related taxes.

15. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and the Company is vigorously defending these claims, proceedings and inquiries, and has not recorded any reserves related to these matters.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes it has valid defenses in these matters based upon advice of counsel, unfavorable resolutions could occur. While the Company cannot estimate its range of loss, an adverse outcome from such unresolved proceedings could be material to the Company with respect to earnings or cash flows in any given reporting period. The Company does not believe that the impact of such unresolved litigation would result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its financial position or liquidity.
The Company is currently seeking to recover insurance reimbursement for costs incurred to defend the hotel occupancy tax cases. The amount, if any, that will be recovered by the Company and the timing of receipt of such recoveries is unclear. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," as of September 30, 2007, the Company has not recognized a gain for this contingent claim in its condensed consolidated statement of operations or balance sheet.
Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby it 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 and indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including, but not limited to, those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks or other intellectual property, (iv) access to credit facilities and use of derivatives, (v) issuances of debt securities and (vi) issuances of surety bonds. The guarantees and indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) financial institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative contracts, (iv) underwriters in debt security issuances and (v) surety companies in surety bond arrangements. While some of these guarantees and indemnifications 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 that the Company could be required to make under these guarantees and indemnifications, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees and indemnifications as the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees and indemnifications, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, insurance coverage is maintained that mitigates any potential payments to be made. At December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, there were $2 million of surety bonds outstanding which were covered under indemnity agreements. The Company has agreed to use reasonable efforts to release Travelport from such indemnity agreements. The Company is required to arrange for the issuance of surety bonds to certain U.S. state and foreign entities. Travelport (subsequent to the Blackstone Acquisition) and Cendant (prior to the Blackstone Acquisition) arranged for the issuance of surety bonds on behalf of

the Company. The surety bond fees were almost nil for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The surety bond fees were almost nil for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Fees relating to the surety bonds are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Financing Arrangements
The Company is required to issue letters of credit to certain suppliers and non-U.S. government agencies. Travelport (subsequent to the Blackstone Acquisition) and Cendant (prior to the Blackstone Acquisition) issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company under a letter of credit facility or a revolving credit facility. The letter of credit fees were almost nil for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The letter of credit fees were almost nil for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Fees relating to the letters of credit are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, outstanding letters of credit issued on the Company's behalf were $59 million.
16. Subsequent Event
In connection with an internal restructuring by Travelport, on October 31, 2007, TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Travelport, transferred 9,120,378 shares of the Company's common stock to Travelport in exchange for a 10.25% inter-company note due 2015 for an aggregate principal amount of $94 million. Also on October 31, 2007, Travelport contributed those shares to Travelport Holdings, LLC, its direct, wholly owned subsidiary. Travelport then transferred 100% of the limited liability interests of Travelport Holdings, LLC to Travelport Holdings Limited, Travelport's parent company. No shares of the Company's common stock were sold on the open market in connection with this restructuring. Travelport's ultimate parent company remains the beneficial owner of the shares.
17. Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we determined that we should restate our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for errors relating to (1) the non-cash impact of certain intercompany transactions with Travelport in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and (2) the classification of certain credit card receipts in-transit in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result, we are restating our previously issued condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30,

2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and our previously issued condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 to correct these errors.
We determined that the non-cash impact of certain intercompany transactions with Travelport was overstated in "Net cash provided by operating activities" and correspondingly understated in "Net cash used in financing activities" in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
In addition, we determined that credit card receipts in-transit at our foreign operations (which are generally collected within two to three days) should have been classified as "Accounts receivable" rather than "Cash and cash equivalents" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007. This change in classification is consistent with our presentation of credit card receipts in-transit at our domestic operations and resulted in a reduction in "Cash and cash equivalents" and an increase in "Accounts receivable" of $10 million and $14 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, respectively. This reclassification also impacted "Net cash provided by operating activities" in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The following table reflects the impact of the restatement on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006, the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and with our Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2007. The use of the words "we", "us", and "our" refers to Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions. The following discussion gives effect to the restatement discussed in Note 17—Restatement of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements that provide our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the sections below entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and in our Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2007. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
OVERVIEW
We are a leading global online travel company that uses innovative technology to enable leisure and business travelers to research, plan and book a broad range of travel products. Our brand portfolio includes Orbitz, CheapTickets, the Away Network, and Orbitz for Business in the Americas, ebookers in Europe, and HotelClub and RatesToGo based in Sydney, Australia, which has operations globally. We provide customers with access to a comprehensive set of travel products, from over 80,000 suppliers worldwide, including air, hotels, vacation packages, car rentals, cruises, travel insurance and destination services, such as ground transportation, event tickets and tours through an efficient, customized and user-friendly system.
We generate revenue through multiple sources, including primarily our retail business, merchant business, incentive payments and technology licensing and advertising. Through our retail business, we earn fees and commissions from travel suppliers for airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals and other travel products and services booked by consumers on our websites. We also charge consumers a service fee for booking airline tickets and certain other travel products. Our merchant business generates fees based on the difference between the total amount the customer pays and the negotiated net rate the supplier charges for the travel product. We receive incentive payments from GDSs and other distribution channels when we use their systems to book airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals.
We continue to focus on the execution of our strategic plan, including increasing non-air revenue, growing our international brands, and investing in global technology enhancements. We are a leader in air travel, the largest online travel segment. This has enabled us to drive growth in non-air categories, specifically hotels and dynamic vacation packages, which are vacation packages that include different combinations of travel products. These non-air categories generally have higher margins and significant potential for growth.
We believe that there are substantial growth opportunities in regions outside of the United States for our international brands. We experienced growth in our international gross bookings of 20% and 22% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in
29
2006, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the impact of the sale of Travelbag, a subsidiary of ebookers, during July 2007.
In July 2007, we launched a new technology platform for our ebookers brand in the United Kingdom. This was the first phase of our transition to a global technology platform. As a result, we are able to provide a broader range of hotel inventory and improved functionality in the UK, which drove higher conversion rates for hotels and operational efficiencies at ebookers. As additional countries are transitioned to this platform, we believe that we will realize further operating efficiencies which will result in improved margins and enhance our ability to sustain strong growth in our European businesses. The European migration is expected to be completed in late 2008.
Industry Trends
Growth in travel, internet usage and online travel booking continues to increase worldwide. On-line travel booking rates are highest in the United States, and continue to grow on a year over year basis. 2007 should mark the first year in which more than half of all travel in the United States is booked on-line. The remainder of travel is booked through traditional off-line agencies or directly with airlines, hotels and car rental companies ("suppliers"). Suppliers have continued to focus their efforts on direct distribution of their products through their own websites, thus further promoting the migration of customers to on-line booking. In the current environment, suppliers' sites are believed to be taking market share domestically from both online travel companies and traditional travel agencies.
Internationally, the online travel industry continues to benefit from rapidly increasing Internet usage and growing acceptance of on-line booking. We believe that approximately one third of all travel in Europe is booked on-line and about 15% of all travel in Asia is booked on-line. Although the use of the Internet to book travel is increasing globally, we believe that international markets are growing faster than domestic markets. Online travel companies are generating a larger percentage of their growth from outside the U.S., in part because those markets continue to grow faster than the U.S. market. Hotel-only business models have had particular success in delivering high rates of growth in international markets.
Online travel companies market through both online and traditional offline channels, but the online channel is more important than it would generally be for an offline enterprise. Key areas of online marketing are search engine marketing, display advertising, affiliate programs and email marketing. Emarketing costs have been rising in the U.S. over time, and competition for key words has intensified in the past year. If this trend continues, these rising costs could result in higher marketing costs or declining transaction growth rates for online travel companies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition covers periods both prior to and subsequent to Travelport's acquisition of the travel related businesses of Cendant, which we refer to as the Blackstone Acquisition. The discussion and analysis of historical periods prior to August 23, 2006 does not reflect the impact that the Blackstone Acquisition had on our results, including the effect of purchase accounting adjustments. Therefore, the combined results of the successor and the predecessor for the periods in 2006 are not necessarily comparable. The presentation of the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 on a combined basis does not comply with U.S. generally-accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"); however, we believe that this provides useful information to assess the relative performance of our businesses in the periods presented in the financial statements on an ongoing basis. The captions included within our statements of operations that are materially impacted by this change in basis of accounting include net revenue, depreciation and amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA is a performance measure used by management that is defined as net loss plus: interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as adjusted for certain items as described in the table below.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented on a combined basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, are not defined under GAAP, and do not purport to be an alternative to net loss as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
We use and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because they provide us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance and cash flow because:
- •
- EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and
- •
- investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of non-recurring items such as restructuring charges, as well as non-cash items such as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and equity compensation, all of which vary widely from company to company and impact comparability.
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA:
- •
- as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis;
- •
- as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and
- •
- as a performance evaluation metric off which to base executive and employee incentive compensation programs.

- (a)
- Represents the charge recorded for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment is primarily related to a decline in ebookers' fair value relative to its carrying value, which was the result of poor operating performance occurring after the asset was acquired by Cendant.
- (b)
- Represents the purchase accounting adjustments made at the time of the Blackstone Acquisition in order to reflect the fair value of deferred revenue and accrued liabilities on the opening balance sheet date. These adjustments, which are non-recurring in nature, reduced deferred revenue and accrued liabilities and resulted in a reduction in revenue and operating income for the period from August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
- (c)
- Represents corporate allocations and direct costs for services performed on our behalf by Cendant or Travelport through the date of our initial public offering ("IPO"). Following our IPO, we now perform these services with either internal or external resources, although we continue to utilize Travelport for certain services under a transition services agreement. Refer to footnote (h) below for a discussion of our estimate of costs we would have incurred had we been operating as a public company for all of the periods presented above.
- (d)
- Represents costs associated with operating two technology platforms simultaneously as we invest in our global technology platform. These development and duplicative technology expenses are expected to cease in 2008 following the migration of certain of our operations to the global technology platform.
- (e)
- Primarily represents non-cash stock compensation expense; also includes expense related to restricted cash awards granted as a private company.
- (f)
- Represents non-recurring costs incurred as part of our separation from Cendant due to the Blackstone Acquisition and the costs of relocating our corporate offices.
- (g)
- Represents the difference in the historical amounts earned from Galileo by our corporate travel solutions business and the amount that would have been earned under our new arrangement with Galileo if such arrangement had been in place as of the beginning of the period presented.
32
- (h)
- Certain corporate costs were previously incurred on our behalf by Cendant or Travelport. This adjustment represents our estimate of costs we would have expected to incur for certain headquarters and public company costs had we been operating as a public company for all of the periods presented above, including costs for services which were previously provided by Travelport or Cendant and adjusted for in footnote (c) above. These costs include tax, treasury, internal audit, board of directors' costs, and similar items. Also included are costs for directors and officers insurance, audit, investor relations and other public company costs. The amount shown for the three months ended September 30, 2007 includes our estimate of such costs for the first 18 days of the third quarter of 2007.
- (i)
- Represents one-time accounting and consulting services primarily associated with the IPO and post-IPO transition period.
- (j)
- Represents costs to exit an online marketing services agreement.
- (k)
- Represents an adjustment recorded to properly reflect the fair value of the tax sharing liability following the re-negotiation of the Worldspan contract. See Part I—Financial Information—Note 7—Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability for further information.
- (l)
- Includes EBITDA of Tecnovate, our Indian services organization that we sold on July 5, 2007, of $1 million and almost nil for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and $3 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Also includes EBITDA of Travelbag, a former UK offline travel subsidiary that we sold on July 16, 2007, of $3 million and almost nil for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and $1 million and $(2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Travelbag had net revenues of $8 million and $2 million and gross bookings of $63 million and $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Net revenues for Travelbag for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 were $21 million and $15 million, respectively, and gross bookings were $178 million and $136 million for these same periods.
Key Operating Metrics
Our operating results are affected by certain key metrics that represent overall transaction activity. Gross bookings and net revenue are two key metrics. Gross bookings is defined as the total amount paid by a consumer for transactions booked under both the retail and merchant models at the time of booking. Net revenue is defined as commissions and fees generated through our retail and merchant models as well as advertising revenue and certain other fees and commissions.
Gross bookings provide insight into changes in overall travel activity levels, changes in industry-wide online booking activity, and more specifically, changes in the number of bookings through our websites. We follow net revenue trends for our various brands, geographies and product categories
33
to gain insight into the profitability of our business across these categories. Both metrics are critical in determining the ongoing growth of our business.

- Gross bookings data for all periods presented in the tables above exclude Travelbag, an offline travel subsidiary of ebookers, which was sold in July 2007.
Gross Bookings
For our domestic business, which is comprised principally of Orbitz, CheapTickets and our corporate travel solutions business, gross bookings increased $171 million, or 8%, from the three months ended September 30, 2006 to the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased $754 million, or 11%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Increased air volume and the growth in dynamic package bookings drove the domestic gross bookings increase in both the three and nine month periods.
34
For our international business, which is comprised principally of ebookers, HotelClub and RatesToGo, gross bookings increased $86 million, or 31%, from the three months ended September 30, 2006 to the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased $261 million, or 33%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in international gross bookings from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was driven in part by a fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, which added approximately 11 percentage points of growth in both periods. The remaining increase for both the three and nine month periods is due to increased air volume at ebookers and the growth in hotel volume at ebookers, HotelClub and RatesToGo.
Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $37 million, or 20%, from $184 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $221 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net revenue increased $89 million, or 16%, from $573 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $662 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Net revenue from our international business increased $13 million, or 39%, from $33 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net revenue from our international business increased from 18% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 21% of our total net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net revenue from our international business increased $28 million, or 26%, from $108 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $136 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net revenue from our international business increased from 19% of our total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 21% of our total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Net revenue from our non-air and other business increased $30 million, or 30%, from $99 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $129 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, the net revenue of our non-air and other business as a percent of our total net revenue increased from 54% to 58%. Net revenue from our non-air and other business increased $65 million, or 21%, from $303 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $368 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the net revenue of our non-air and other business as a percent of our total net revenue increased from 53% to 56%.
The increase in net revenue from our non-air and other business during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 was driven primarily by growth in our dynamic packaging and hotel businesses, a shift in mix from retail to merchant hotel bookings, and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments recorded as a reduction to net revenue in connection with the Blackstone Acquisition. Purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2006 accounted for $21 million of the increase in net revenue from the three months ended September 30, 2006 to the three months ended September 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, net revenue of our non-air and other business increased 7% from the three months ended September 30, 2006 to the three months ended September 30, 2007. The net impact of purchase accounting adjustments recorded as a reduction to net revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 of $21 million and $6 million, respectively, drove $15 million of the increase in net revenue from our non-air and other business from the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, net revenue of our non-air and other businesses increased 15% from the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $37 million, or 20%, from $184 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $221 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Air. Net revenue from air bookings increased $7 million, or 8%, from $85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $92 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Higher volume globally primarily drove an $8 million increase in air net revenue. A further increase was also driven in part by the recognition of $3 million of inducement revenue from Worldspan in the third quarter of 2007. This same inducement was not earned until the fourth quarter in the prior year. These increases were offset in part by a $4 million reduction in net revenue due to lower average commissions on our air transactions and reduced paper ticket fees as airlines continue to move toward electronic ticketing.
Non-air and Other. Net revenue from our non-air and other business increased $30 million or 30%, from $99 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $129 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Of this increase, $21 million, or 23 percentage points, is due to the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, which resulted in a reduction in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Net revenue from hotel bookings in the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $9 million driven primarily by higher international volume and improved domestic merchant mix and average daily rate ("ADR"). Net revenue from dynamic packaging in the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $3 million, primarily as a result of domestic volume
36
growth. The remaining increase in non-air and other net revenue was primarily due to the growth in insurance revenue. A decrease in domestic car volume and international car margins partially offset these increases.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased $6 million, or 20%, from $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to higher domestic transaction volume, including higher dynamic packaging and merchant hotel volume. The remaining three month period increase was driven by higher year-over-year cost of revenue at ebookers, HotelClub and RatesToGo due in part to higher international transaction volume.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7 million, or 5%, from $142 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $149 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Marketing expense increased $8 million, to $78 million in this period primarily due to higher emarketing costs, driven by higher transaction volume and expanded advertising campaigns promoting both our domestic and international brands. The remaining increase is primarily due to the $1 million adjustment recorded on the tax sharing liability as a result of the new Worldspan contract that became effective in August 2007 (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 7—Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability). These increases are offset in part by a decrease in our wages and benefits and other operating expenses in our domestic and international businesses.
As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from 77% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 67% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $3 million, or 21%, from $14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in depreciation and amortization resulted from an increase in assets placed in service, primarily in connection with the roll out of our global technology platform in the UK, offset in part by a decrease due to a change in the useful lives of certain assets as a result of purchase accounting applied in connection with the Blackstone Acquisition on August 23, 2006.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, interest expense increased by $12 million or 171%, from $7 million to $19 million. The increase in interest expense during this period was primarily due to $9 million of interest incurred on the $600 million senior secured term loan facility that we entered into in July 2007 and $6 million of interest incurred on the $860 million of intercompany notes payable to Travelport that we entered into in January 2007. The notes payable to Travelport were repaid in connection with the IPO (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 14—Related Party Transactions). This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense related to certain intercompany notes previously held by Travelport up until the IPO as well as the capitalization of interest on internal software development. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, $7 million and $4 million of the total interest expense recorded was non-cash, respectively.
37
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $32 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily due to a valuation allowance established against $32 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards related to portions of our UK based business (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 3—Income Taxes and FIN 48). For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, nil and $32 million of the tax expense recorded was non-cash, respectively.

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $89 million, or 16%, from $573 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $662 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Air. Net revenue from air bookings increased $24 million, or 9%, from $270 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $294 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Higher domestic volume drove a $28 million increase in air net revenue. A further increase was driven by the recognition of $3 million of inducement revenue from Worldspan in the third quarter of 2007. This same inducement was not earned until the fourth quarter in the prior year. Partially offsetting these increases was a $17 million reduction in net revenue due to lower average commissions on our air transactions and reduced paper ticket fees as airlines continue to move toward electronic ticketing; $4 million of this $17 million decrease was the result of the final contractual step-down in commissions
38
paid to us by the airlines with which we have charter associate agreements. An increase in international air volume primarily drove the remaining $10 million increase in net revenue.
Non-air and Other. Net revenue from our non-air and other business increased $65 million, or 21%, from $303 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $368 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Of this increase, $15 million, or 6 percentage points, is due to the net impact of purchase accounting adjustments, which resulted in a reduction in net revenue of $21 million and $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Net revenue from hotel bookings in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $34 million driven primarily by higher international volume and improved domestic merchant mix and ADR. Net revenue from dynamic packaging increased $13 million, primarily as a result of domestic volume growth. The remaining increase in non-air and other net revenue was primarily due to the growth in insurance and attractions and services revenue. A decrease in domestic car volume and international car margins partially offset these increases.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased $28 million, or 32%, from $88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $116 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to higher domestic transaction volume, including higher dynamic packaging and merchant hotel volume. The remaining increase was driven by higher year-over-year cost of revenue at ebookers, HotelClub and RatesToGo due in part to higher international transaction volume.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $38 million, or 9%, from $439 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $477 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Marketing expense increased $30 million, to $245 million in this period primarily due to higher emarketing costs, driven largely by higher transaction volume and expanded advertising campaigns promoting both our domestic and international brands. In addition, we recorded a one-time exit penalty of $13 million related to our online marketing services agreement, incurred $7 million of one-time audit and consulting fees in connection with our IPO and the post-IPO transition period, and recorded a one-time $1 million adjustment related to the tax sharing liability as a result of the new Worldspan contract that became effective in August 2007 (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 7—Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability). These expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in our wages and benefits and other operating expenses in our domestic and international businesses.
As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from 77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Excluding the one-time exit penalty, one-time audit and consulting fees, and one-time adjustment on the tax sharing liability, our selling, general and administrative expense was 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1 million, or 2%, from $43 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a change in the useful lives of certain assets as a result of purchase accounting applied in connection with the Blackstone Acquisition on August 23, 2006. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase due to assets placed in service, primarily in connection with the roll out of our global technology platform in the UK.
39
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Impairment of intangible assets decreased $122 million, or 100%, from $122 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We recorded a charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 for impairment of Predecessor goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment was primarily related to a decline in ebookers' fair value relative to its carrying value, which was the result of poor operating performance occurring after the business was acquired by Cendant.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $44 million, or 200%, from $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in interest expense during the period was primarily attributed to $43 million of interest incurred on the $860 million of intercompany notes payable to Travelport that we entered into in January 2007. These notes were repaid in connection with the IPO (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 14—Related Party Transactions). The remaining increase was due to $9 million of interest incurred on the $600 million senior secured term loan facility that we entered into in July 2007 and an increase in interest expense related to certain intercompany notes previously held by Travelport from the time of the Blackstone Acquisition up until the IPO, partially offset by the capitalization of $3 million of interest on internal software development and a decrease in imputed interest on the tax sharing liability of $5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, $22 million and $8 million of the total interest expense recorded was non-cash, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded a tax provision of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in our provision for income taxes is primarily due to a valuation allowance established against $32 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards related to portions of our UK based business (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 3—Income Taxes and FIN 48). For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, nil and $34 million of the tax expense recorded was non-cash, respectively.
Seasonality
Some of our businesses experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. These trends cause our revenue to be generally higher in the second and third calendar quarters of the year as travelers plan and purchase their spring and summer travel and then to flatten in the fourth and first calendar quarters of the year. Our results may also be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the inventory made available to us by our travel suppliers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations, including working capital. The principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures and capital expenditures, including investments in products and technology offerings. Our financing needs were supported by our parent company, Travelport, prior to our initial public offering in July 2007. Concurrently with our initial public offering, we entered into a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $85 million (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 9—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility). We have the ability to use this revolving credit facility to fund future financing needs.

Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities consists of the results from the statements of operations adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, non-cash compensation and changes in various working capital items, principally accrued merchant payables, deferred income and accounts payable.
We generated cash flow from operations of $149 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This $84 million decrease in year to date 2007 operating cash flow is primarily attributed to $58 million of cash interest payments made in the third quarter of 2007, of which $49 million was payable under the Company's intercompany loans with Travelport and was repaid in connection with the IPO, and $9 million was payable under our $600 million term loan (we had no outstanding debt in 2006); the delayed receipt of $9 million in receivables in the third quarter 2007 at one of our international subsidiaries; and approximately $3 million of incremental public company costs incurred in the third quarter of 2007, which were not incurred in 2006. The combined impact of these factors more than offset the normal increase in operating cash flow expected due to the growth of the business. We expect to receive the $9 million in receivables in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Investing Activities
Cash flow used in investing activities increased $6 million, from $61 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cash used for investing activities is due in part to the sale of an offline UK travel subsidiary in July 2007. The sale of this subsidiary resulted in a net decrease in cash of $31 million primarily due to the buyer's assumption of this subsidiary's cash balance at the time of sale, partially offset by the cash proceeds we received for the sale of the net assets and liabilities of the subsidiary. The increase in cash used for investing activities is offset in part by a $25 million decrease in spending on property, plant and equipment in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease in spending was a result of strategic initiatives and the reduction in capital expenditures for the development of our global technology platform, the first phase of which was placed into service in July 2007.
41
Financing Activities
Cash flow used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $72 million compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This change was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the IPO and the term loan entered into during the third quarter 2007, offset in part by subsequent repayments of intercompany debt and a dividend payment made to Travelport as well as an increase of cash distributed to Travelport in 2007 prior to the IPO.
Financing Arrangements
On January 26, 2007 and January 30, 2007, we became the obligor on two intercompany notes payable to affiliates of Travelport in the amounts of $25 million and $835 million, respectively, and recorded an $860 million reduction to net invested equity. These notes accrued interest at a fixed rate of 10.25% and were scheduled to mature on February 19, 2014. On July 25, 2007, we used proceeds from the IPO and senior secured term loan facility to repay the notes and the interest accrued thereon in full. We recorded interest expense of $6 million and $43 million on these notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant and then Travelport, each of Cendant and Travelport provided guarantees, letters of credit, surety bonds and other performance guarantees on our behalf under our commercial agreements and leases and for the benefit of certain regulatory agencies. Letters of credit on our behalf were issued under Travelport's senior secured credit facility. The aggregate amount of guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding was $113 million and $87 million at December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, respectively. Under the separation agreement, other than as described below, we will seek to have Travelport released from the remaining guarantees and surety bonds by contacting and negotiating with the beneficiaries thereunder. If we are unable to release Travelport from these obligations, Travelport will continue to perform under such obligations and we will indemnify them for any related loss. Travelport no longer provides performance guarantees in connection with commercial agreements or leases entered into or replaced by us.
On July 25, 2007, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement consisting of a seven-year $600 million senior secured term loan facility ("term loan") and a six-year senior secured revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $85 million. The term loan and the revolving credit facility bear interest at floating rates tied to LIBOR or an alternative base rate. We used approximately $530 million of the net proceeds from the term loan to repay a portion of the indebtedness we owed to Travelport represented by the intercompany notes, as described above, and to pay a dividend to Travelport.
Our term loan and revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of substantially all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, 65% of the shares or equity interests of such foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
The credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:
- •
- incur more indebtedness or make guarantees;
- •
- enter into sales or leasebacks;
- •
- make investments, loans or acquisitions;
- •
- grant or incur liens on our assets;
- •
- sell our assets;
- •
- engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions;
- •
- engage in transactions with affiliates;
42
- •
- make restricted payments; and
- •
- sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.
In addition, the credit agreement requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.
Financial Obligations
Commitments and Contingencies
We and certain of our affiliates are parties to cases brought by consumers and municipalities and other U.S. governmental entities involving hotel occupancy taxes. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and we are vigorously defending against these claims. For additional information, see Part I—Financial Information—Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or that we have valid defenses in these matters based upon advice of counsel, unfavorable resolutions could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such unresolved proceedings for which claims are awarded could be material to us with respect to earnings or cash flows in any given reporting period. However, we do not believe that the impact of such unresolved litigation would result in a material liability to us in relation to our financial position or liquidity.
We are currently seeking to recover insurance reimbursement for costs incurred to defend the hotel occupancy tax cases. The amount, if any, that will be recovered by us and the timing of receipt of such recoveries is unclear. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," as of September 30, 2007, we have not recognized a gain for this contingent claim in our condensed consolidated statement of operations or balance sheet.

- (a)
- In July 2007, we entered into a $600 million senior secured term loan facility ("term loan") which bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or an alternative base rate and matures on July 25, 2014. The amounts shown in the table above represent future principal payments due under the term loan. We entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively convert $300 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 9—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility).
- (b)
- In July 2007, we entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively convert $300 million of the term loan from a variable to a fixed interest rate. We pay a fixed interest rate of 5.207% on both swaps and in exchange receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The amount shown in the table above represents future interest payments due to the swap counterparty (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments).
43
- (c)
- Represents costs to exit an online marketing service agreement.
- (d)
- The Travelport contract is structured such that we receive an inducement fee for each segment that is processed through GDS services provided by Galileo and Worldspan. The contract also requires that we process 33 million segments during 2007, 16 million segments through Worldspan and 17 million segments through Galileo. The required number of segments booked in future years for Worldspan remains fixed at 16 million segments while the required number of segments for Galileo is subject to adjustment based upon the actual segments booked in the preceding year. Our failure to process the required number of segments would result in a shortfall payment of $1.25 per segment below the required minimum. The table above includes shortfall payments required by the contract if we do not book any segments through Worldspan. Because the required number of segments for Galileo adjusts based on the preceding year's actual bookings, we are unable to predict the shortfall. If we meet the minimum, we are not required to make payments of any kind to Galileo or Worldspan (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 14—Related Party Transactions).
- (e)
- The total does not include approximately $277 million of payments in connection with the tax sharing liability for which we are unable to predict the timing of such payments (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 7—Acquired Company Tax Sharing Liability).
- (f)
- The total does not include future interest payments due under the term loan which bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or an alternative base rate, as we are unable to predict the amount of such payments. As mentioned in footnote (b), we entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively convert $300 million of the term loan from a variable to a fixed interest rate, and accordingly, we have included the future interest payments due to the swap counterparty in the table above (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 9—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility and Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments).
Other Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby we indemnify 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 and indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including, but not limited to, those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks or other intellectual property, (iv) access to credit facilities and use of derivatives, (v) issuances of debt securities and (vi) issuances of surety bonds. The guarantees and indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) financial institutions in credit facility arrangements and derivative contracts, (iv) underwriters in debt security issuances and (v) surety companies in surety bond arrangements. While some of these guarantees and indemnifications 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 that we could be required to make under these guarantees and indemnifications, nor are we able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees and indemnifications as the triggering events are not subject to predictability. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees and indemnifications, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by us, insurance coverage is maintained that mitigates any potential payments to be made. As of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, there were $2 million of surety bonds outstanding which were covered under indemnity agreements. We have agreed to use reasonable efforts to release Travelport from such indemnity agreements. The Company is required to arrange for the
44
issuance of surety bonds to certain U.S. state and foreign entities. Travelport (subsequent to the Blackstone Acquisition) and Cendant (prior to the Blackstone Acquisition) arranged for the issuance of surety bonds on behalf of the Company. The surety bond fees were almost nil for the periods July 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The surety bond fees were almost nil for the periods January 1, 2006 to August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 to September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Fees relating to the surety bonds are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We primarily hedge our foreign currency exposure to the British pound, euro and Australian dollar. We do not engage in trading, market making or speculative activities in the derivatives markets. Substantially all of the forward contracts utilized by us do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and as a result, any fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge.
Interest Rate Risk
We use certain hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to limit interest rate risk associated with our $600 million term loan which bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR. We currently use interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $300 million to hedge fluctuations in LIBOR (see Part I—Financial Information—Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments).
Sensitivity Analysis
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used September 30, 2007 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We determined, through such analyses, that the potential decrease in net current assets from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be $5 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $8 million at December 31, 2006. The effect of a hypothetical change in market rates of interest on interest expense would be $2 million at September 30, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In connection with the Original Filing, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, had evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of September 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the Original Filing, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
45
Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with our Original Filing, we determined that we should restate our previously issued financial statements for errors relating to (1) the non-cash impact of certain intercompany transactions with Travelport in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and (2) the classification of certain credit card receipts in-transit in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These errors have been corrected in this Form 10-Q/A. See Note 17—Restatement of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In light of this restatement and as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting previously identified and further described below, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q/A.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. We are not currently required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for that purpose. However, in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the periods January 1, 2006 through August 22, 2006 and August 23, 2006 through December 31, 2006, our auditors and we have identified certain matters involving our internal controls over financial reporting that constitute a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB").
The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A deficiency in design exists when:
- •
- a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing; or
- •
- an existing control is not properly designed such that, even if the control operates as designed, the control objective is not always met.
A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed, or when the person performing the control does not posses the necessary authority or qualifications to perform the control effectively.
The material weakness identified results from inadequate external reporting, technical accounting and tax staff, inadequate integrated financial systems and financial reporting and closing processes and inadequate written policies and procedures. Specifically, the following items were identified:
- •
- insufficient complement of external reporting, technical accounting or tax staff commensurate to support standalone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements;
- •
- lack of a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system, and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments are required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes; and
- •
- incomplete evaluation and documentation of the policies and procedures to be used for external financial reporting, accounting and income tax purposes.
We are in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the deficiencies in the areas of personnel, systems and controls.
46
Personnel
We have hired personnel for external reporting, investor relations, tax and technical accounting, and we continue our search for additional personnel for positions in these areas, as well as treasury. While we continue our search for these permanent full time positions, these roles are being augmented through consultants and the transition services agreement with Travelport.
Systems
We use a consolidation module in Oracle to facilitate our financial reporting requirements. We believe we have controls in our Oracle environment that enable the system to fully consolidate and produce timely, accurate financial information for external reporting. Certain functions that were previously performed manually are now performed systematically within Oracle.
Controls
We have engaged an independent consulting firm to assist us with our initial analysis of our consolidation and close process. Based on the results of this work, we are in the process of developing an evaluation of our current policies and procedures related to external financial reporting. This initiative regarding the review and documentation of our accounting, external reporting and tax policies is an on going effort.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Not applicable.
