Business Description and Basis

Business Description and Basis of Presentation	3 Months Ended

Business Description and Basis of Presentation
Business Description and Basis of Presentation	(1) Business Description and Basis of Presentation Global Business Travel Group, Inc. (“GBTG”), and its consolidated subsidiaries, including GBT JerseyCo Limited (“GBT JerseyCo” and all together the “Company”), is a leading platform serving travel primarily for business purposes and provides a full suite of differentiated, technology-enabled solutions to business travelers and clients, suppliers of travel content (such as airlines, hotels, ground transportation and aggregators) and third-party travel agencies. The Company manages end-to-end logistics of business travel and provides a link between businesses and their employees, travel suppliers, and other industry participants. On December 2, 2021, GBT JerseyCo entered into a business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”) with Apollo Strategic Growth Capital (“APSG”), a special purpose acquisition company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination closed on May 27, 2022 and GBT JerseyCo became a direct subsidiary of APSG. Further, APSG was renamed as “Global Business Travel Group, Inc.” GBTG is a Delaware corporation and tax resident in the United States of America (“U.S.”). GBTG conducts its business through GBT JerseyCo and its subsidiaries in an umbrella partnership-C corporation structure (“Up-C structure”). GBT JerseyCo is tax resident in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). GBT JerseyCo is considered as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and its members consists of GBTG, American Express Travel Holdings Netherlands Coöperatief U.A. (“Amex Coop”), a resident of the Netherlands, Juweel Investors (SPC) Limited (a successor entity of Juweel Investors Limited) (“Juweel”), a resident of Cayman Islands, and EG Corporate Travel Holdings LLC (“Expedia”) (collectively, with Amex Coop and Juweel the “Continuing JerseyCo Owners”). The Company has one reportable segment. Impact of COVID-19 The outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world beginning in 2020. Government measures implemented then to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels. Since then, many countries have vaccinated a reasonable proportion of their population and the spread of the virus is now being contained to varying degrees in different countries. With the evolution of milder COVID-19 variants, availability of multiple vaccine booster doses and increasing familiarity with the virus, many COVID-19 related travel restrictions have been lifted with countries around the world reopening their borders for foreign travel and clients becoming more comfortable traveling. This has led to a moderation, and to an extent, recovery, of the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at the height of the pandemic and during periods of resurgence. The Company has seen improvement in its transaction volume since the third quarter of 2021, and while the global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, it still remains below 2019 levels. Although the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included a strong recovery from the pandemic when compared to the same periods in 2020 and 2021, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 limited the recovery of the Company’s business during that period, such that the results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflect notable improvement in comparison. The Company incurred a net loss of $27 million and had cash outflows from operations of $77 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $91 million and cash outflows from operations of $154 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Overall, the full duration and total impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain and it is difficult to predict how the recovery will unfold for the travel industry and, in particular, the Company’s business, going forward. The severity and duration of resurgence of COVID-19 variants, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against such new variants of the virus, may contribute to delays in economic recovery. Governments of multiple countries extended several programs to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic through loans, wage subsidies, tax relief or deferrals and other financial aid. The Company participated in several of these government programs. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized in its consolidated statements of operations government grants and other assistance benefits for salaries and wages of $0 and $6 million, respectively, as a reduction of expenses. As of both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had a receivable of $13 million in relation to such government grants, which is included in the accounts receivable balance in the consolidated balance sheets. These relate to payments that are expected to be received under the government programs where the Company has met the qualifying requirements and it is probable that payments will be received. The Company believes its liquidity is important given the limited ability to predict its future financial performance due to the uncertainty associated with the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and/or resurgence due to new variants. Since March 2020, the Company has taken several measures to preserve its liquidity, including initiating a business response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic (voluntary and involuntary redundancies, flexible workings, mandatory pay reductions, consolidating facilities, etc.), and entering into several financial transactions, including debt financing / refinancing transactions and the consummation of the Business Combination. Apart from the expectation of the recovery in its business operations, the Company continues to further explore other capital market transactions, process rationalizations and cost reduction measures to improve its liquidity position. In January 2023, the Company amended its senior secured credit agreement to obtain additional term loans in a principal amount of $135 million to further strengthen its liquidity position (see note 10 – Long-term Debt Restructuring Based on the Company’s current and expected operating plan, existing cash and cash equivalents, the recovery of business travel indicated by recent volume trends, the Company’s mitigation measures taken or planned to strengthen its liquidity and financial position, along with the Company’s available funding capacity and cash flows from operations, the Company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet the future operating, investing and financing needs of the business for a minimum period of twelve months. Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GBTG, its wholly- owned subsidiaries and entities controlled by GBTG, including GBT JerseyCo. There are no entities that have been consolidated due to control through operating agreements, financing agreements or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company reports the non-controlling ownership interests in subsidiaries that are held by third-party owners as equity attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of income or loss attributable to third-party owners for the reporting periods is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in its consolidated financial statements. For the periods prior to the Business Combination, the consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the accounts of GBT JerseyCo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among GBT JerseyCo and its consolidated subsidiaries were eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, United States, (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company has included all normal recurring items and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, supplier revenue, allowance for credit losses, depreciable lives of property and equipment, acquisition purchase price allocations including valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and contingent consideration, fair value determination of equity-based compensation, valuation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets, capitalized client incentives and investments in equity method investments, valuation allowances on deferred income taxes, valuation of pensions, interest rate swaps, earnout shares and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business disruptions and adversely impact the Company’s results of operations. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions require increased judgment. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	(3) Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company disaggregates revenue based on (i) Travel Revenue which include all revenue relating to servicing a transaction, which can be air, hotel, car rental, rail or other travel-related booking or reservation and (ii) Product and Professional Services Revenue which include all revenue relating to using the Company’s platform, products and value-added services. The following table presents the Company’s disaggregated revenue by nature of service. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended March 31, (in $ millions) 2023 2022 Travel revenue ​ $ 467 ​ $ 257 Products and professional services revenue ​ 111 ​ 93 Total revenue ​ $ 578 ​ $ 350 ​ Payments from customers are generally received within 30-60 days of invoicing or from their contractual date agreed under the terms of contract. Contract Balances Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on the Company’s future performance obligations. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivables, net, and contract liabilities are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Contract Contract ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ liabilities ​ liabilities ​ ​ Accounts ​ Client ​ Deferred ​ ​ receivable, ​ incentives, net ​ revenue (in $ millions) net (1) (non-current) (current) Balance as of March 31, 2023 ​ $ 915 ​ $ 18 ​ $ 28 Balance as of December 31, 2022 ​ $ 752 ​ $ 19 ​ $ 19 (1) Accounts receivable, net, exclude balances not related to contracts with customers. Deferred revenue is recorded when a performance obligation has not been satisfied but an invoice has been raised. Cash payments received from customers in advance of the Company completing its performance obligations are included in deferred revenue in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally expects to complete its performance obligations under the contracts within one year. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the cash payments received or due in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations were offset by $10 million of revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. Remaining Performance Obligations As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was approximately $11 million, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue as performance obligations are satisfied over the next nine months. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected term of one year or less.

Allowances for Expected Credit Losses
Allowances for Expected Credit Losses	(4) Allowances for Expected Credit Losses The Company estimates expected credit losses upon recognition of the financial assets, which primarily comprise accounts receivable. The Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables, which include size, type (e.g. business clients vs. travel supplier and credit card vs. non-credit card customers) or geographic location of the customer, or a combination of these characteristics. The Company has considered the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses on its accounts receivables. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics and payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Company’s specific facts and circumstances. The movement in Company’s allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is set out below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in $ millions) Amount Balance as of December 31, 2022 ​ $ 23 Provision for expected credit losses during the period ​ 6 Write-offs ​ (3) Foreign exchange ​ 1 Balance as of March 31, 2023 ​ $ 27 ​ The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and other general increases in aging balances has impacted the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses. Uncertain macroeconomic factors, including the potential recession or economic downturn, and reducing government funding following the peak of COVID-19 in 2020, can have a significant effect on additions to the allowance as the continuing impact of the pandemic could potentially result in the restructuring or bankruptcy of customers. Given the uncertainties surrounding the duration and effects of COVID-19, the Company cannot provide assurance that the assumptions used in its estimates will be accurate and actual write-offs may vary from such estimates of credit losses.

The senior secured revolving credit facility will automatically terminate on May 14, 2025 if the senior secured initial term loans have not been refinanced, replaced or extended (with a resulting maturity date that is December 16, 2026 or later) or repaid in full prior to May 14, 2025. On January 25, 2023, the senior secured credit agreement was amended to provide for additional term loans, for general corporate purposes, in an aggregate principal amount equal to $135 million (the “tranche B-4 term loans”). The tranche B-4 term loans have substantially the same terms as the existing loans under the senior secured credit agreement’s tranche B-3 term facility. The tranche B-4 term loans (i) mature on December 16, 2026, (ii) are issued at a discount of approximately 3%, and (iii) are to be repaid in full on the maturity date. The amendment further replaced LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate applicable to each of the senior secured tranche B-3 term loan facility and the senior secured revolving credit facility and increased the applicable interest rate margins under such facilities. The tranche B-4 term loans and the existing loans under the senior secured tranche B-3 term loan facility will accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus a leverage-based margin ranging from 5.25% to 6.75% per annum, and loans under the senior secured revolving credit facility will accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus a leverage-based margin ranging from 4.75% to 6.25% per annum. A SOFR floor of 1.00% applies to the tranche B-4 term loans and each of the senior secured tranche B-3 term loan facility and the senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment also extended the maturity of the senior secured revolving credit facility from August 2023 to September 2026, subject to a springing maturity provision. The senior secured revolving credit facility will automatically terminate on May 14, 2025 if the senior secured initial term loans have not been refinanced, replaced or extended (with a resulting maturity date that is December 16, 2026 or later) or repaid in full prior to May 14, 2025. Additionally, the amendment suspended the financial covenant restriction on the draw-down of the revolving credit facility until July 1, 2024, and replaced it with certain other borrowing conditions. Subject to meeting such borrowing conditions, the Company can draw-down the entire $50 million of revolving credit facility. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company repaid the contractual quarterly installment of $1 million of the principal amount of senior secured initial term loans. At the option of Group Services B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of GBTG (the “Borrower”), upon prior written notice, amounts borrowed under one or more of the senior secured credit facilities (as selected by the Borrower) may be voluntarily prepaid, and/or unused commitments thereunder may be voluntarily reduced or terminated, in each case, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty (other than (i) any applicable prepayment premium required to be paid pursuant to the senior secured credit agreement, and (ii) customary breakage costs in connection with certain prepayments of loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR/SOFR). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the senior secured credit agreement, the Borrower is required to prepay the senior secured term loans with (i) 50% (subject to leverage-based step-downs) of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) in excess of a threshold amount, (ii) 100% (subject to leverage-based step-downs) of the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events, subject to customary reinvestment rights, (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of certain indebtedness and (iv) other than in connection with the consummation of the business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, 50% of the net cash proceeds from the consummation of any initial public offering (or similar transaction) of the common stock of GBT UK TopCo Limited (or a parent entity thereof). The senior secured revolving credit facility has (i) a $30 million sublimit for extensions of credit denominated in certain currencies other than U.S. dollars, (ii) a $10 million sublimit for letters of credit, and (iii) a $10 million sublimit for swingline borrowings. Extensions of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility are subject to customary borrowing conditions and to additional conditions during the covenant suspension period provided by the January 2023 amendment described above. The Borrower is required to pay a fee of 0.375% per annum on the average daily unused commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility. Interest on the senior secured credit facilities is payable quarterly in arrears (or, if earlier in the case of LIBOR and SOFR loans, at the end of the applicable interest period). The effective interest rate on the senior secured term loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately 11.2%. Security; Guarantees GBT UK TopCo Limited, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of GBT JerseyCo, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors (such guarantors, collectively with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), provide an unconditional guarantee, on a joint and several basis, of all obligations under the senior secured credit facilities and under cash management agreements and swap contracts with the lenders or their affiliates (with certain limited exceptions). Subject to certain cure rights, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, at least 70% of the consolidated total assets of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries must be attributable, in the aggregate, to the Loan Parties; provided that such coverage test shall instead be calculated based on 70% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries for the four prior fiscal quarters, commencing with the first quarterly test date after January 2021 on which Consolidated EBITDA of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries exceeds $100 million. Further, the lenders have a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties. Covenants The senior secured credit agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants (see below) and limitations (subject to exceptions) on the ability of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to: (i) incur indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) incur liens on their assets; (iii) consummate certain fundamental changes (such as acquisitions, mergers, liquidations or changes in the nature of the business); (iv) dispose of all or any part of their assets; (v) pay dividends or other distributions with respect to, or repurchase, any equity interests of any Loan Party or any equity interests of any direct or indirect parent company or subsidiary of any Loan Party; (vi) make investments, loans or advances; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates and certain other permitted holders; (viii) modify the terms of, or prepay, any of their subordinated or junior lien indebtedness; (ix) make certain changes to a Loan Party’s entity classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes or certain intercompany transfers of a Loan Party’s assets if, as a result thereof, an entity would cease to be a Loan Party due to adverse tax consequences; (x) enter into swap contracts; and (xi) enter into certain burdensome agreements. Certain restricted payments and debt incurrences that would otherwise be permitted under the senior secured credit agreement cannot be made during the suspension period implemented pursuant to the January 2023 amendment described above. Any such prohibited payment or incurrence would trigger an automatic reduction to zero of the commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility for the duration of the suspension period, which would give rise to prepayment and/or cash collateral requirements in respect of then-current utilization of the senior secured revolving credit facility. Additionally, any such payment or incurrence would constitute a violation of the senior secured credit agreement if any revolving loans would be outstanding immediately thereafter. The senior secured credit agreement also requires that an aggregate amount of Liquidity (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) equal to at least $200 million be maintained as of the end of each calendar month. Liquidity is calculated as the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries plus, under certain circumstances, the unused amount available to be drawn under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The senior secured credit agreement also contains an additional financial covenant applicable solely to the senior secured revolving credit facility. After giving effect to the January 2023 amendment described above, such financial covenant requires the first lien net leverage ratio (calculated in a manner set forth under the senior secured credit agreement) to be less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter on which (a) the suspension period is not in effect and (b) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding loans and letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility. The senior secured credit agreement provides that such financial covenant is suspended for a limited period of time if an event that constitutes a “Travel MAC” (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) has occurred and the Loan Parties are unable to comply with such covenant as a result of such event. Such financial covenant did not apply for the period ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the senior secured credit agreement. Events of Default The senior secured credit agreement contains default events (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), which could require early prepayment, termination of the senior secured credit agreement or other enforcement actions customary for facilities of this type. As of March 31, 2023, no event of default existed under the senior secured credit agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	(11) Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitment 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $206 million of outstanding non-cancellable purchase commitments, primarily relating to service, hosting and licensing contracts for information technology, of which $85 million relates to the twelve months ending March 31, 2024. These purchase commitments extend through 2031. Guarantees The Company has obtained bank guarantees in respect of certain travel suppliers and real estate lease agreements amounting to $19 million. Certain of these bank guarantees require the Company to maintain cash collateral which has been presented as restricted cash within other non-current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Legal Contingencies The Company recognizes legal fees as expense when the legal services are provided. Based on its current knowledge, and taking into consideration its litigation-related liabilities, the Company believes it is not a party to any pending legal proceeding or governmental examination that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or liquidity.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	(12) Income Taxes As discussed in note 1 – Business Description and Basis of Presentation GBTG’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to different jurisdictional tax rates in which the Company operates, together with the impact of permanent differences and GBTG’s incremental layer of taxation due to its Up-C structure. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s income tax benefit was $8 million and $25 million, respectively, and its effective tax rate was 23.88% and 21.74%, respectively. The impact on the effective tax rate of any permanent items and GBTG’s standalone tax position is more significant in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as the pre-tax loss is lower than the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted into law on August 16, 2022. Included in the IRA is a provision to implement a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income during the most recently-completed three-year period exceeds $1.0 billion. This provision became effective for the Company from January 1, 2023 and did not have any material impact on the Company’s tax provision. The Company believes the impact of IRA is likely to be minimal for the foreseeable future.

Earnout Shares
Earnout Shares	(13) Earnout Shares Certain stockholders and employees are entitled to additional consideration in the form of “earnout shares” of the Company’s Class A common stock (and Class B common stock, with equal number of B ordinary shares of GBT JerseyCo, where the earnout shares have been given to certain stockholders) to be issued in tranches when the Company’s Class A common stock’s price achieves certain market share price milestones within specified periods following the Business Combination transaction. The earnout shares to stockholders are accounted under Accounting Standard Codification 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Such guidance provides that because the earnout shares do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, earnout shares must be recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the earnout shares liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation of the stock prices based on historical and implied market volatility of a peer group of public companies. As of March 31, 2023 the fair value of the earnout shares liability was estimated to be $87 million. The Company recognized a gain on the fair value change in earnout shares liability of $3 million in its consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Distributions There were no capital distributions to shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Registration Rights Agreement In May 2022, GBTG, APSG Sponsor, L.P. (the “Sponsor”), certain of APSG’s then existing board members (the “Insiders”) and the Continuing JerseyCo Owners entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, GBTG has registered for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Class A Common Stock and other equity securities of GBTG that are held by the holders party to the Registration Rights Agreement from time to time. Sponsor Side Letter In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, on December 2, 2021, the Sponsor, the Insiders, GBTG and GBT JerseyCo entered into a side letter (as amended on May 27, 2022, “Sponsor Side Letter”) which, among other things, contain certain restrictions on the transfer by the Sponsor and the Insiders with respect to the Class A Common Stock issued to each of them at the closing of the Business Combination (such shares issued to the Sponsor, the “Sponsor Shares”). The Sponsor and the Insiders are not permitted to transfer their Class A Common Stock, subject to certain permitted exceptions, until the earlier to occur of (a) one year following the closing date of the Business Combination and (b) the date upon which the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Class A common stock exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Further, approximately 8 million of the Sponsor Shares were deemed unvested and were subject to certain triggering events to occur within five years following the closing (the “Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period”) for these shares to vest. If, within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, the VWAP of Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days, approximately 5 million of the unvested Sponsor Shares will vest. If, within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, the VWAP of Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days the remaining approximately 3 million of the unvested Sponsor Shares will vest. To the extent that either of the aforementioned triggering events do not occur within the Sponsor Side Letter Vesting Period, such Sponsor Shares will be forfeited to and terminated by GBTG. The registered holder(s) of the unvested Sponsor Shares continue to be entitled to all of the rights of ownership thereof, including the right to vote and receive dividends and other distributions in respect thereof. The number of shares and the price targets listed above will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, dividends (cash or stock), reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or other like changes or transactions with respect to the Class A Common Stock. These shares are accounted for as part of earnout shares discussed above in note 13 – Earnout Shares Class A Common Stock purchased by the Sponsor in connection with the “private investment in public entity” transaction is not subject to the vesting or transfer restrictions described above. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents certain components of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income (loss).

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	(16) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A Common Stock used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs using the “treasury stock” method, and earnout shares and GBTG’s Class B Common Stock that convert into potential shares of Class A Common Stock, using the “if converted” method, to the extent they are dilutive. The Company analyzed the calculations of net loss per share for periods prior to the Business Combination and determined that the values would not be meaningful to the users of these unaudited consolidated financial statements as it did not represent equity structure post Business Combination transaction. As discussed in note 13 – Earnout Shares Earnings Per Share As the Company had net loss for the period, approximately 21 million of stock options and 27 million of RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have resulted in anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. GBTG’s Class B Common Stock generally has only nominal economic rights (limited to the right to receive up to the par value in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of GBTG). As such, basic earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock have not been presented. However, as these shares can be converted to Class A Common Stock under the provisions of the Exchange Agreement, Class B Common Stock has been included in the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended (in $ millions, except share and per share data) ​ March 31, 2023 Numerator – Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share: ​ Net loss attributable to the Company’s Class A common stockholders (A) ​ $ (2) Add: Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries ​ (25) Net loss attributable to the Company’s Class A common stockholders - Diluted (B) ​ $ (27) ​ ​ ​ ​ Denominator – Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding: ​ Weighted average number of Class A Common Stock outstanding – Basic (C) ​ 60,376,708 Assumed conversion of Class B Common Stock (1) ​ 394,448,481 Weighted average number of Class A Common Stock outstanding – Diluted (D) ​ 454,825,189 ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s Class A common stockholders: (A) / (C) ​ $ (0.03) ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted loss per share attributable to the Company’s Class A common stockholders: (B) / (D) ​ $ (0.06) ​

Derivatives and Hedging
Derivatives and Hedging	(17) Derivatives and Hedging Except as mentioned below, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company does not offset derivative assets and liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. Interest Rate Swap The Company is subject to market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates. The Company has interest rate risk primarily related to its senior secured term loans under the senior secured credit agreement, which bear interest at a variable rate that is currently based on three-months LIBOR or SOFR (subject to certain benchmark replacement provisions and certain interest rate floors, as applicable). In order to protect against potential higher interest costs resulting from anticipated increases in the benchmark rate for the senior secured tranche B-3 term loans, GBT Group Services B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of GBTG and the borrower under the senior secured credit agreement, has entered into the following interest rate swap contracts that fixed the benchmark interest rate with respect to a portion of the senior secured tranche B-3 term loans: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Notional Amount ​ ​ (in $ millions) ​ Period ​ Fixed Interest Rate ​ $ 600 (1) March 2023 to March 2025 3.680 % $ 300 (2) March 2023 to March 2027 4.295 % (1) The terms of $600 million notional amount of interest rate swap were initially linked to LIBOR as the benchmark rate, with SOFR-based rate replacing LIBOR as the benchmark rate for such swap, commencing June 2023. In March 2023, the Company amended the terms of the agreement to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate that commenced from March 2023 and changed the fixed rate from 3.6856% to 3.6800% .The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge that is highly effective at offsetting the increases in cash outflows when three-month SOFR based-rate exceeds 3.680% . In June 2022, the Company terminated a previous interest rate swap contract, entered into in February 2022, that was designated as a cash flow hedge (and had similar terms as the current $600 million notional amount of interest rate swap) realizing $23 million in cash. Under ASC 815, the Company has determined that the total amount of $23 million credited to the accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the termination of the previous interest rate swap contract will be included in the consolidated statement of operations proportionately until March 2025 as an offset to interest expense as the interest payments are made over this period. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has reclassified $2 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized it as a credit to interest expense. (2) In February 2023, the Company entered into another interest rate swap contract for a notional amount of $300 million. The terms of the agreement require the Company to receive a variable rate of three months SOFR, with a floor of 0.90% , and pay fixed rate of 4.295% . The above interest rate swap contracts are considered as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps, net of tax, being recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense when the hedged interest obligations affect earnings. Earnout Shares As a result of the Business Combination, GBTG has issued and outstanding earnout shares (see note 13 – Earnout Shares As of March 31, 2023, the number of non-employee earnout shares issued and outstanding million. The following table presents the balance sheet location and fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments, on a gross basis, under ASC 815: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance sheet ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (in $millions) Location March 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swaps ​ Other non-current assets ​ $ 6 $ 10 Interest rate swaps ​ Other non-current (liabilities) ​ $ (7) — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnout shares ​ Earnout derivative liabilities ​ $ 87 $ 90 ​ The table below presents the impact of changes in fair values of derivatives on other comprehensive income (loss) and on net income (loss): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount of gain/(loss) recognized in ​ Statement of ​ Amount of gain/(loss) recognized in ​ ​ other comprehensive loss ​ operations location ​ statements of operations ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ March 31 ​ ​ ​ March 31 ​ 2023 2022 ​ ​ 2023 2022 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest rate swaps ​ $ (11) ​ — ​ NA ​ ​ — ​ — Interest rate swaps reclassed to statement of operations ​ ​ (2) ​ — ​ Interest expense ​ $ 2 ​ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnout shares ​ ​ — — Fair value movement on earnout derivative liabilities ​ ​ 3 — ​ ​ $ (13) ​ — ​ ​ ​ $ 5 — ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has reclassified $2 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized it as a credit to interest expense.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	(18) Fair Value Measurements Financial instruments which are measured at fair value, or for which a fair value is disclosed, are classified in the fair value hierarchy, as outlined below, on the basis of the observability of the inputs used in the fair value measurement: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in non-active markets or for which all significant inputs, other than quoted prices, are observable either directly or indirectly, or for which unobservable inputs are corroborated by market data. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of its derivative instruments— interest rate swaps and non-employee earnout shares. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps has been calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis by taking the present value of the fixed and floating rate cash flows utilizing the appropriate forward LIBOR and/or SOFR curves and the counterparty’s credit risk, which was determined to be not material. The fair value of non-employee earnout shares is determined using the Monte Carlo method. Presented below is a summary of the gross carrying value and fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at a fair value on a recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset/ (Liability) ​ Fair Value March 31, December 31, (in $ millions) Hierarchy 2023 2022 Interest rate swaps asset ​ Level 2 ​ $ 6 ​ $ 10 Interest rate swaps liability ​ Level 2 ​ ​ (7) ​ ​ — Non-employee earnout shares ​ Level 3 ​ ​ (87) ​ ​ (90) ​ The fair value of earnout shares was estimated using the Monte Carlo method. Inherent in the Monte Carlo method are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the volatility of the earnout shares based on implied volatility from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the earnout shares. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the earnout shares. The expected life of the earnout shares was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The Company anticipated the dividend rate will remain at zero. The following table presents the assumptions used for the measurement of the fair value of outstanding earnout shares liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 Stock price ($) ​ $ 6.63 ​ $ 6.75 ​ Risk-free interest rate ​ 3.69 % 4.06 % Volatility ​ 45 % 42.5 % Expected term (years) ​ 4.2 ​ 4.4 ​ Expected dividends ​ 0.0 % 0.0 % ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair value ($) (per earnout share – Tranche 1) ​ $ 4.15 ​ $ 4.30 ​ Fair value ($) (per earnout share – Tranche 2) ​ $ 3.46 ​ $ 3.58 ​ ​ The following table presents changes in Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value during the three months March 31, 2023: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Earnout Shares Balance as of December 31, 2022 ​ $ 90 Change in fair value ​ (3) Balance as of March 31, 2023 ​ $ 87 ​ The Company does not measure its debt at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. Where the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined based on quoted prices for identical or similar debt instruments when traded as assets, it is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectation of interest rates, credit risks and contractual term of the debt instruments and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company’s outstanding senior secured term loans are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair ​ March 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ Value ​ Carrying ​ Fair ​ Carrying ​ Fair (in $ millions) Hierarchy amount (1) value amount (1) value Senior secured initial term loans Level 2 ​ $ 235 ​ $ 224 ​ $ 235 ​ $ 220 Senior secured tranche B-3 term loans Level 3 ​ $ 987 ​ $ 1,017 ​ $ 987 ​ $ 1,017 Senior secured tranche B-4 term loans Level 3 ​ $ 131 ​ $ 137 ​ $ — ​ $ — (1) Outstanding principal amount of the relevant class of senior secured term loans less unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs with respect to such loans. 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. Certain assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

In March 2023, the Company amended the terms of the agreement to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark rate that commenced from March 2023 and changed the fixed rate from 3.6856% to 3.6800% .The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge that is highly effective at offsetting the increases in cash outflows when three-month SOFR based-rate exceeds 3.680% . In June 2022, the Company terminated a previous interest rate swap contract, entered into in February 2022, that was designated as a cash flow hedge (and had similar terms as the current $600 million notional amount of interest rate swap) realizing $23 million in cash. Under ASC 815, the Company has determined that the total amount of $23 million credited to the accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the termination of the previous interest rate swap contract will be included in the consolidated statement of operations proportionately until March 2025 as an offset to interest expense as the interest payments are made over this period. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has reclassified $2 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized it as a credit to interest expense. (2) In February 2023, the Company entered into another interest rate swap contract for a notional amount of $300 million. The terms of the agreement require the Company to receive a variable rate of three months SOFR, with a floor of 0.90% , and pay fixed rate of 4.295% .
