Commenting on developments, Jeff Clarke, CEO and president of Travelport, said:"Travelport's first half performance was in line with management's expectations.  I'm particularly pleased with the Company's strong cash flow growth during the period. 

"During the quarter, our GDS business increased its year-on-year segment volumes by 5% due to the rebound in corporate travel and strong growth in the Asia Pacific region. We advanced a number of key product developments, including the roll-out of a new version of Travelport e-Pricing and Travelport Universal Desktop.  We are also completing the migration of two major GDS contracts, with Thomas Cook, in the UK, and Carlson Wagonlit, in India, and we have further enhanced our geographic footprint through a strategic partnership with Sirena-Travel, Russia's leading domestic GDS.

"GTA had a terrific quarter with 20% growth in room nights and 24% growth in Segment Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis."

Q2 2010: Travelport's Net Revenue of $598 million and Operating Income of $95 million for the second quarter of 2010 represented a 1% increase and a 17% decrease, respectively, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  The reduction in Operating Income is primarily due to a $15 million unfavorable movement in the fair value of foreign exchange derivatives and a non-recurring $5 million gain on asset sales in 2009.  Travelport achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $176 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, representing a decrease of 2% compared to the prior year.   

H1 2010: Travelport's Net Revenue of $1,179 million and Operating Income of $155 million for the first half of 2010 represented a 3% increase and a 10% decrease, respectively, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  The reduction in Operating Income is primarily a result of a $17 million unfavorable movement in the fair value of foreign exchange derivatives.  In addition, during the first half of 2010, we incurred approximately $15 million of incremental corporate transaction costs, which were offset by realized cost savings.  Travelport achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $315 million for the first half of 2010, remaining flat compared to the prior year.
