Travelport Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Results
Various risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to: our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness and the impact such indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business; factors affecting the level of travel activity, particularly air travel volume, including security concerns, natural disasters, the current crisis in the global credit and financial markets and other disruptions; general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies; pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry; our ability to obtain travel supplier inventory from travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines and other travel suppliers; our ability to develop and deliver products and services that are valuable to travel agencies and travel suppliers; risks associated with doing business in multiple countries and in multiple currencies; maintenance and protection of our information technology and intellectual property; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize anticipated benefits of past and future acquisitions, including the Worldspan acquisition; the impact on supplier capacity and inventory resulting from consolidation of the airline industry; financing plans and access to adequate capital on favorable terms; our ability to achieve expected cost savings and operational synergies from our re-engineering efforts and the Worldspan acquisition; and our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and tour operators and to enter into new relationships. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our performance or achievements. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release. Except to the extent required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to release any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law.
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, important information regarding such measures is contained on pages 8 through 10 of this release.

Provided below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to income/(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interest and equity in losses of investments, net:
Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. We believe that these measures provide management with a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of the Company's financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of liquidity or cash flows from operations nor measures comparable to net income as they do not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments. However, they are management's primary metric for measuring business performance and are used by the Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation. Capital expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense, are reviewed separately by management. Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are disclosed so that investors may have the same tools available to management when evaluating the results of Travelport. Adjusted Revenue is defined as Revenue adjusted to exclude the impact of deferred revenue written off due to purchase accounting on the acquisition of Travelport by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, each of which is presented on Travelport's Statement of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the aforementioned impact of purchase accounting, impairment of intangibles assets, expenses incurred in conjunction with Travelport's separation from Cendant, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate Travelport's portfolio of businesses, costs associated with Travelport's restructuring efforts and development of a global on-line travel platform, non-cash equity-based compensation, and other adjustments made to exclude expenses management views as outside the normal course of operations.
