In another positive quarter for Travelport, we have further expanded our content offering, increased our customer base, continued the successful deployment of our products and realized significant benefits from our investments in key adjacencies."

Increased RevPas by 3% to $5.30 in Q3 2012

The loss of the Master Services Agreement with United Airlines contributed approximately $23 million to the decline in net revenue and $17 million to the decline in each of operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. Excluding the impact of this loss, net revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased $3 million from the third quarter of 2011, operating income and EBITDA declined by $7 million and $2 million, respectively, compared to 2011, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5 million compared to 2011.

The loss of the Master Services Agreement with United Airlines contributed approximately $43 million to the decline in net revenue and $31 million to the decline in each of operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA year to date 2012 compared to 2011.
