Travelport RevPas increased 3% to $5.28 for the full year 2012. The loss of the MSA with United Airlines contributed approximately $69 million to the decline in net revenue and $50 million to the decline in each of operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in 2012 compared to 2011. Excluding the impact of this loss, net revenue for 2012 increased $36 million from 2011, and operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA declined by $12 million, $6 million and $2 million respectively, compared to 2011. The average rate of agency commissions increased 1% for the full year 2012.

Interest costs of $290 million for the full year 2012 were $3 million higher due to higher effective interest rates.

Travelport generated $181 million in net cash from operating activities of continuing operations for the full year 2012, a $57 million increase from 2011, due to improved operating working capital and lower interest payments, partially offset by a decline in Adjusted EBITDA.
