	Travelport Worldwide Limited (the “Company” or “Travelport”) is a travel commerce platform providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. With a presence in over 170 countries, Travelport business is comprised of:
	The Travel Commerce Platform (formerly known as the global distribution system or “GDS” business), through which the Company facilitates travel commerce by connecting the world’s leading travel providers, such as airlines and hotel chains, with online and offline travel buyers in the Company’s proprietary business to business (“B2B”) travel commerce platform. As travel industry needs evolve, Travelport is utilizing its Travel Commerce Platform to redefine the electronic distribution and merchandising of airline core and ancillary products, as well as extending its reach into the growing world of travel commerce beyond air, including to hotel, car rental, rail, cruise-line and tour operators. In addition, Travelport has leveraged its domain expertise in the travel industry to design a pioneering B2B payment solution that addresses the need of travel agencies to efficiently and securely make payments to travel providers globally. Travelport utilizes the extensive data managed by its platform to provide an array of additional services, such as advertising solutions, subscription services, business intelligence data services, and marketing-oriented analytical tools to travel agencies, travel providers and other travel data users.
	Through its Technology Services, Travelport provides critical hosting solutions to airlines, such as pricing, shopping, ticketing, ground handling and other solutions, enabling them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs. The Company manages reservations, inventory management and other related critical systems for Delta Air Lines Inc.
	In July 2014, the Company sold substantially all of the shares of common stock it held in Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”) and, as of September 30, 2014, owned less than 1% of its outstanding shares. Consequently, the Company has discontinued equity method accounting (see Note 3 - Orbitz Worldwide).
	These financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, with the exception of the December 31, 2013 balance sheet which was derived from audited financial statements. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
	In presenting the consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the consolidated condensed financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, on September 26, 2014.
	Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
	On September 25, 2014, the Company issued 30 million common shares in an IPO. The shares were sold at a price of $16.00 per share, which generated $445 million of net proceeds from the IPO after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
	The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO primarily to repay $425 million aggregate principal amount of its bridge loans (see Note 9 - Long-Term Debt).

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]	'
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	Going Concern
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance on disclosures of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statements issuance date. The guidance is applicable to the Company for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
	Compensation—Stock Compensation
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for stock compensation where share-based payment awards granted to employees require specific performance targets to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and such performance targets could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment in this update requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition.
	The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the implications of adoption of this update on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
	The guidance is applicable to the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on discontinued operations that increased the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.
	This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, other than disclosures.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists except in certain circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
	Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment
	In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance provides the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held.
	This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

Orbitz Worldwide	'
	3. Orbitz Worldwide
	In May 2014, the Company sold 8.6 million shares of Orbitz Worldwide for net proceeds of $54 million, resulting in a gain on sale of Orbitz Worldwide shares of $52 million. In July 2014, the Company sold a further 39 million shares, representing substantially all of its remaining shares in Orbitz Worldwide, for net proceeds of $312 million, resulting in a gain on sale of shares of $304 million. As a result of these sales, subsequent to July 2014, the Company owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Orbitz Worldwide and has discontinued equity method accounting and accounts for this investment as an available-for-sale security, with any changes in fair value recognized within other comprehensive income (loss) (see Note 4 - Other Current Assets).
	The period ended June 30, 2014 was the last full quarterly period for which the Company accounted for Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting. Presented below are the summary results of operations for Orbitz Worldwide for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	The Company continued to account for Orbitz Worldwide under the equity method of accounting through the date of sale of the remaining shares. Orbitz Worldwide does not report monthly or stub period financial information; however, based on the financial information received from Orbitz Worldwide, the Company estimated its proportionate share of earnings for the period July 1, 2014 to July 22, 2014 was not material. The earnings (losses) related to the equity method investment in Orbitz Worldwide are included within the share of earnings (losses) in equity method investments in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. The earnings (losses) related to the equity method investment in Orbitz Worldwide recorded in 2014 were included in the computation of the $304 million and $356 million gain on sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The gain on sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide include gains realized of approximately $4 million and $5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, which were accumulated within other comprehensive income (loss).
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded earnings of $6 and $8 million, respectively, within the share of earnings (losses) in equity method investments in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.
	In the first quarter of 2013, Orbitz Worldwide concluded that a significant portion of its US valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was no longer required, resulting in a recognition of a benefit from income taxes of $158 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations.
	Net revenue of Orbitz Worldwide includes $6 million and $58 million earned through transactions with the Company during the period from July 1, 2014 to July 22, 2014 and January 1, 2014 to July 22, 2014, respectively. Net revenue of Orbitz Wordwide includes $21 million and $68 million earned through transactions with the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

	Debt-for-Equity Exchanges:
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company effectuated several debt-for-equity exchange transactions, pursuant to which the Company exchanged $571 million of its indebtedness, comprising (i) $154 million of dollar denominated senior subordinated notes, (ii) $159 million (€117 million) of euro denominated senior subordinated notes, (iii) $84 million of dollar denominated fixed rate senior notes, (iv) $83 million of dollar denominated floating rate senior notes, (v) $70 million of dollar denominated term loans under senior secured credit agreement and (vi) $21 million of dollar denominated Tranche 1 term loans under second lien credit agreement, in exchange for 29 million of its common shares. The Company recorded these transactions as extinguishment of debt and recognized a loss of $28 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	Debt Repayment from Proceeds of Sale of Shares of Orbitz Worldwide:
	In July 2014, the Company repaid $312 million of term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement from the proceeds received from the sale of shares of Orbitz Worldwide. The Company recorded a loss of $5 million for early extinguishment of debt in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	Debt Refinancing:
	In September 2014, the Company consummated a refinancing of its remaining debt. As a result of this refinancing, the Company entered into: (i) a new senior secured credit facility comprised of (a) a single tranche of first lien term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $2,375 million maturing in September 2021, issued at a discount of 1.25% and which require quarterly installments payable of 0.25% of the principal amount commencing February 2015, and (b) a revolving credit facility of $100 million (which may be increased in accordance with certain incremental facility provisions set forth therein) maturing in September 2019; and (ii) a senior unsecured bridge loan agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $425 million which was subsequently repaid with proceeds from the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds from these borrowings to repay the balance remaining under the term loans (under the old senior secured credit agreement and second lien credit agreement), senior notes and senior subordinated notes. On September 2, 2014, the Company issued an irrevocable notice of redemption for the outstanding notes and also discharged each of the indentures governing such notes. The Company recorded the debt refinancing transaction as the issuance of new debt and extinguishment of old debt and recognized a loss of $75 million in its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loans is based on, at the election of the Company, (i) LIBOR plus 5.00% or base rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 4.00%. The term loans are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and 2.00% in the case of base rates. The Company expects to pay interest based on LIBOR. The interest rate per annum applicable to the bridge loan was LIBOR plus 5.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company (i) repaid $8 million as its quarterly repayment of term loans, (ii) capitalized $13 million related to payment-in-kind interest into the senior notes and second lien Tranche 2 dollar denominated term loans and (iii) repaid $23 million under its capital lease obligations and entered into $14 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.
	Foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a $3 million decrease in the principal amount of euro denominated loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	Revolving Credit Facility and Letters of Credit facility:
	Upon completion of the debt refinancing on September 2, 2014, the Company’s $120 million revolving credit facility and $137 million cash collateralized letters of credit facility under the old senior secured credit agreement were terminated. Under the new senior secured credit agreement, the Company has a $100 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks, which contains a letter of credit sub-limit up to a maximum of $50 million. The new senior secured credit agreement further permits the issuance of certain cash collateralized letters of credit in addition to those that can be issued under the revolving credit facility, whereby 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. The new senior secured credit agreement also includes customary uncommitted incremental facility provisions, including the ability to increase the revolving credit facility by $50 million.
	For the period from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $75 million under its old revolving credit facility and repaid $75 million. The Company has not drawn on its new revolving credit facility which was entered into on September 2, 2014. However, the Company utilized $16 million of its revolving credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding balance due under its revolving credit facility, $16 million of letters of credit issued and $84 million of remaining credit capacity under the new revolving credit facility. Further, as of September 30, 2014, the Company also had $48 million of cash collateralized letters of credit issued and outstanding, against which the Company provided $50 million as cash collateral.
	As of September 30, 2014 the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
	10. Financial Instruments
	The Company uses derivative financial instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there was no material change in the Company’s interest rate and foreign currency risk management policies or in its fair value methodology except as set out below.
	In June 2014, the Company ceased hedge accounting for its interest rate cap derivative instruments. With the exchange of its common shares for the Company’s term loans in July 2014, which reduced the principal amount of debt being hedged to under 100% of the notional amount of interest rate cap contracts and the Company’s refinancing of its capital structure in September 2014, the Company determined that the hedge effectiveness could no longer be achieved. Further, the underlying future interest cash outflows hedged were considered as not probable of occurring, resulting in the Company realizing losses of $8 million accumulated within other comprehensive income (loss) and recognizing it within its consolidated condensed statements of operations. In August 2014, the Company terminated the interest rate cap derivative contracts and realized $3 million.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a net liability position of $9 million related to derivative financial instruments associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.
	Presented below is a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value.
	(in $ millions)	Balance Sheet		Fair Value Asset								Balance Sheet		Fair Value (Liability)

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $3 million in relation to certain foreign exchange derivative contracts which were terminated in 2013 and included in other current assets as of December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid $7 million in relation to certain foreign exchange derivative contracts which were terminated in 2012 and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2012.
	The significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Company’s derivative financial instruments are probability of default of approximately 6% and a recovery rate of 20% which are applied to the Company’s credit default swap adjustments. As the credit valuation adjustment applied to arrive at the fair value of derivatives is less than 15% of the unadjusted fair value of derivative instruments for two consecutive quarters, the Company has categorized derivative fair valuations at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. A 10% change in the significant unobservable inputs will not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2014.
	The table below presents the impact of changes in fair values of derivatives on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and on net income (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014:

	The table above includes unrealized loss on foreign currency derivative contracts of $11 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
	Fair Value Disclosures for All Financial Instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of cash held as collateral approximates to its fair value.
	The fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments are as follows:

	The fair value of the Company’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide, included within available-for-sale securities and equity method investments, is categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and has been determined based on quoted prices in active markets.
	The fair value of the Company’s total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of term loans based on quoted prices obtained from independent brokers for identical debt instruments when traded as an asset and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	11. Commitments and Contingencies
	Purchase Commitments
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments to purchase goods and services from specific suppliers, including those related to capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $97 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology, of which $45 million relates to the twelve months ending September 30, 2015. These purchase obligations extend through 2017.
	Contingencies
	Company Litigation
	The Company is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the Company believes its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.
	Standard Guarantees/Indemnification
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for breaches of representations and warranties. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) use of derivatives, and (v) issuances of debt securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees of the Company’s trademarks, (iv) financial institutions in derivative contracts, and (v) underwriters in debt security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees, as the triggering events are not subject to predictability and there is little or no history of claims against the Company under such arrangements. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.

	13. Equity-Based Compensation
	The Company has the following equity-based long-term incentive programs, under which time-based restricted share units (“TRSUs”), performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”) performance share units (“PSUs”), and/or stock options of the Company have been granted or authorized for grant to the key employees and directors of the Company.
	•		2011 Equity Plan (all of the outstanding TRSUs vested on January 1, 2014)
	•		2013 Equity Plan
	•		2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2014 Omnibus Plan”)
	•		2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2014 ESPP”)
	In May 2014, the Company communicated performance targets for the PRSUs and stock options granted under the 2013 Equity Plan. Also in May 2014, the Company made a grant of TRSUs to certain employees. Consequently, 1.9 million of RSUs and 160,000 of stock options were considered as granted for accounting purposes. The restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options vest in April 2015 and April 2016, respectively, if the performance conditions are met and the participants remain in employment until then.
	On August 4, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Travelport Worldwide Limited 2014 Omnibus Plan, which permits the grant of cash and stock-based incentive awards. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2014 Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 6 million shares. The Company’s employees and the members of its Board of Directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan. On September 25, 2014, the Company authorized for grant 733,605 PSUs, 513,187 TRSUs and 916,996 stock options.
	In September 2014, upon the consummation of the IPO and under the terms of 2013 Equity Plan, the unvested 2.4 million TRSUs vested immediately, which resulted in additional recognition of compensation cost of approximately $9 million.
	On September 5, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors also adopted the Travelport Worldwide Limited 2014 ESPP which is intended to provide employees of the Company with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of common shares at a discount of up to 15% of the market price of the share. Under the 2014 ESPP, 2.4 million common shares have been reserved as authorized for issuance under the 2014 ESPP, none of which have been issued as of September 30, 2014.

	Fair value of common share		$	20
	Expected term from grant date (in years)			3
	Risk free interest rate			0.8	%
	Expected volatility			60	%
	Dividend yield			0	%
	The weighted-average exercise price of options granted was $9.38 per option, with the remaining weighted average expected term as of September 30, 2014 of 2.75 years. None of the stock options have vested or have become exercisable as of September 30, 2014.
	Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 resulted in a credit to equity on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets of $30 million and $3 million, respectively, which was offset by a decrease of approximately $23 million and $0, respectively, due to tax withholding for equity awards as the payment of the taxes is effectively a repurchase of previously granted equity awards. The Company expects the future equity-based compensation expense in relation to awards recognized for accounting purposes as being granted as of September 30, 2014 will be approximately $23 million based on the fair value of the RSUs and the stock options on the grant date.

	Income (loss) per share	$	1.71	$	(0.45	)	$	1.7	$	(3.87	)
	Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common shares equivalents during each period. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has excluded 3.5 million of common share equivalents, primarily associated with the Company’s RSUs and stock options as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, basic and diluted earnings per share for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are equal for each period.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]	'
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Going Concern
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance on disclosures of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statements issuance date. The guidance is applicable to the Company for the annual period ending December 31, 2016 and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
	Compensation—Stock Compensation
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for stock compensation where share-based payment awards granted to employees require specific performance targets to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and such performance targets could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment in this update requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition.
	The guidance is applicable to the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the implications of adoption of this update on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
	The guidance is applicable to the Company for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements.
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on discontinued operations that increased the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.
	This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, other than disclosures.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists except in certain circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2014, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
	Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment
	In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance provides the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held.
	This guidance is applicable to the Company on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 although early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
