Travelport Worldwide Limited Reports Second Quarter and Half Year 2017 Results

LANGLEY, U.K., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelport Worldwide Limited (NYSE: TVPT) announced today its financial results for the second quarter and half year ended June 30, 2017.

Highlights (for the second quarter unless stated otherwise)

  • Net revenue increased 1% to $612 million
  • Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased 2% to $584 million
  • Beyond Air revenue increased 8% to $160 million, with eNett revenue up 16% to $44 million driven by strong share of business gains from customers in Asia Pacific
  • Completed sale in April 2017 of 51% ownership interest in IGT Solutions Private Ltd. (IGTS)
  • Net income of $34 million; Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $147 million
  • Net cash provided by operating activities increased 9% to $84 million; Free Cash Flow increased 11% to $60 million
  • Post period-end completed successful repricing of term loans, reducing interest rate by 50 basis points
  • Full year 2017 net revenue and earnings guidance unchanged; raising Free Cash Flow guidance

Gordon Wilson, President and CEO of Travelport, commented:

"We delivered a solid quarter, with top line growth reflecting pressure in certain regional travel markets, the sale of IGTS and the impact of the timing of Easter.  Our overall results for the first half of the year were in line with our expectations and our Travel Commerce Platform continues to gain growth momentum, especially in the European and Asian online sectors where we are increasing our share.  I am also delighted to confirm that, post period-end, we concluded the renewal of our full content agreement with Delta Air Lines on a long-term basis. 

"In Beyond Air, we are seeing good progress in hotel and car bookings, and have launched several new digital innovations for our airline and agency partners that bolster our position as the industry leader for mobile travel commerce.  Our commercial payments business, eNett, also continues to make excellent progress with both existing customers and new business development.  The second half has started well across the group, and we remain on track to deliver our growth targets for the year."

Reported Segments remained stable. Travel Commerce Platform RevPas increased 2% to $6.76, driving a $13 million increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue.  International RevPas increased 3% to $8.30, and United States RevPas remained stable.

International Travel Commerce Platform revenue increased by $9 million, with Asia Pacific contributing primarily to this increase due to a 4% increase in both Reported Segments and RevPas.

Operating Income
Operating income increased by $36 million to $74 million mainly due to the following:

  • $6 million growth in net revenue
  • $7 million decrease within cost of revenue primarily due to a 3% decline in travel distribution cost per segment, including the positive impact of an $11 million allowance for a prepaid incentive related to a long-term contract recorded in 2016 and a $4 million decrease in technology costs due to the sale of IGTS, offset by incremental commission costs due to mix and pricing and incremental costs from our payment solutions business
  • $24 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate movement

Net Income
Net income increased by $49 million from a net loss of $14 million in 2016 to a net income of $34 million in 2017 mainly due to the following:

  • $36 million increase in operating income
  • $12 million decrease in interest expense, net, due to lower interest rates, a lower outstanding debt balance and the favorable impact of fair value changes on interest rate swap derivative contracts
  • $3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in 2016 as a result of our debt repricing, offset by:
  • $3 million increase in provision for income taxes

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $7 million to $84 million, primarily due to an increase in operating income, improved working capital and lower interest payments in 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8 million, or 6%, to $147 million mainly due to the following:

  • $6 million growth in net revenue
  • $7 million decrease within cost of revenue; offset by:
  • $6 million increase in SG&A (excluding a $30 million net decrease related to non-core corporate costs that are excluded from net income to determine Adjusted EBITDA) primarily due to an increase in workforce expense

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income increased by $16 million to $50 million due to the following:

  • $49 million increase in net income, offset by:
  • $24 million decrease in adjustments, net of tax, for non-core corporate costs within SG&A, as discussed above
  • $9 million decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets, decrease in unrealized loss on interest rate derivative contracts and loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in 2016 as a result of our debt repricing, which are excluded to determine Adjusted Net Income

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow increased by $6 million to a cash inflow of $60 million, primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

Net Debt 
Net Debt decreased from $2,205 million as of December 31, 2016 to $2,114 million as of June 30, 2017 and is comprised of $2,330 million in total debt less $217 million in cash and cash equivalents.  The decrease in total debt of $14 million and increase of $77 million in the cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 resulted in a decrease of $91 million in the Net Debt balance.

Full Year 2017 Financial Guidance

The following forward-looking statements, as well as those made elsewhere within this press release, reflect expectations as of August 3, 2017.  We assume no obligation to update these statements.  Results may be materially different and are affected by many factors detailed in this release and in Travelport's quarterly and annual Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and/or furnishings, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Our guidance for full year 2017 net revenue is unchanged, as detailed below.  Furthermore, we continue to anticipate that our commercial payments business, eNett, will grow net revenue by at least 20% in 2017.  This is subject to exchange rate movements given that eNett's net revenue is largely denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

We continue to anticipate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Income per Share (diluted) to be towards the higher end of our guidance ranges. 

We now anticipate Free Cash Flow to be higher than the previously guided range, principally due to the phasing of capital and other expenditure.

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA guidance consists of Adjusted Net Income guidance excluding expected depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and expected amortization of customer loyalty payments of $240 million to $250 million, expected interest expense, net (excluding the impact of unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate derivative instruments) of $120 million to $125 million and expected related income taxes of $50 million to $55 million. Adjusted Net Income guidance excludes the expected impact of amortization of intangible assets of approximately $40 million, expected equity-based compensation and related taxes and corporate and restructuring costs of $55 million to $65 million and expected income tax benefit related to these adjustments of approximately $5 million. We are unable to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to net income (loss) determined under U.S. GAAP due to the unavailability of information required to reasonably predict certain reconciling items such as loss on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived assets, unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments, and the related tax impact of these adjustments.

(2)

Adjusted Income per Share - diluted guidance consists of Adjusted Net Income divided by our expected weighted average number of dilutive common shares for 2017 of approximately 127.5 million.

(3)

Free Cash Flow guidance reflects expected net cash provided by operating activities for 2017 of $300 million to $330 million less cash additions to property and equipment of $110 million to $120 million.

This guidance assumes spot foreign exchange rates as of July 27, 2017, together with the impact of foreign exchange rate hedges undertaken during 2016 as part of our rolling hedging program. 

Impact of Foreign Exchange Movements

Our results of operations are reported in U.S. dollars.  With approximately 91% of our net revenue denominated in U.S. dollars in the second quarter of 2017, exchange rate movements in this currency have a low impact on our net revenue.  Of our costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2017, excluding depreciation on property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-core corporate costs, approximately 65% were denominated in U.S. dollars. 

We employ foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly against the British pound, the Euro and the Australian dollar, which are the main non-U.S. dollar components of our costs and expenses.  The year over year impact of foreign exchange movements had a positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017.

Dividend

On August 2, 2017, Travelport's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per common share for the second quarter of 2017.  The dividend will be payable on September 21, 2017 to shareholders on record as at market close on September 7, 2017.

Conference Call

The Company's second quarter 2017 earnings conference call will be held later today (on August 3, 2017) beginning at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time)

A live audiocast of the presentation and accompanying slides will be available via the Investor Center section of Travelport's website at ir.travelport.com.  Please visit the site or click the following link to pre-register: https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/1138/21669.

TRAVELPORT WORLDWIDE LIMITED
DEFINITIONS
(unaudited)

Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of customer loyalty payments, interest expense, net (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments), and related income taxes.

Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share - Diluted is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period divided by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, and items that are excluded under our debt covenants, such as, gain (loss) on sale of subsidiary, non-cash equity-based compensation, certain corporate and restructuring costs, non-cash impairment of long-lived assets, certain litigation and related costs, and other non-cash items such as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on earnings hedges, and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments, along with any income tax related to these exclusions.

Adjusted Operating Income(Loss) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments.

Capital Expenditures is defined as cash paid for property and equipment plus repayments in relation to capital leases and other indebtedness.

Customer Loyalty Payments are payments made to travel agencies or travel providers with an objective of increasing the number of travel bookings using the Company's Travel Commerce Platform and to improve the travel agencies or travel providers' loyalty, which are instrumented through agreements with a term over a year. Under the contractual terms, the travel agency or travel provider commits to achieve certain economic objectives for the Company. Such costs are specifically identifiable to individual contracts with travel agencies or travel providers, which have determinable contractual lives. Due to the contractual nature of the payments, the Company believes that such assets are appropriately classified as intangible assets.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, less cash used for additions to property and equipment.

Net Debt is defined as total debt comprising of current and non-current portion of long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

Reported Segments means travel provider revenue generating units (net of cancellations) sold by the Company's travel agency network, geographically presented by region based upon the point of sale location.

Travel Commerce Platform RevPas ("RevPas") represents Travel Commerce Platform revenue per segment and is computed by dividing Travel Commerce Platform revenue by the total number of Reported Segments.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We utilize non-GAAP (or adjusted) financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share – diluted, to provide useful supplemental information to assist investors in understanding and assessing our performance and financial results on the same basis that management uses internally. These adjusted financial measures provide investors greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to evaluate our core operations, forecast future results, determine future capital investment allocations and understand business trends within the industry. These metrics are also used by our Board of Directors to determine incentive compensation for future periods. Management believes the adjusted financial measures assist investors in the comparison of financial results between periods as such measures exclude certain items that management believes are not reflective of our core operating performance consistent with how management reviews the business.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share – diluted, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered as, alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share – diluted, as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

We believe Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted is a useful measure for our investors as it represents, on a per share basis, our consolidated results, taking into account depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and amortization of customer loyalty payments, as well as other items which are not allocated to the operating businesses such as interest expense (excluding unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate derivative instruments) and related income taxes but excluding the effects of certain expenses not directly tied to the core operations of our businesses.  Adjusted Income (Loss) per Share-diluted has similar limitations as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.  In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not include all items that affect our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period.  Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate these measures along with our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

We believe our important measure of liquidity is Free Cash Flow. This measure is useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We use Free Cash Flow to conduct and evaluate our operating liquidity. We believe it typically presents an alternate measure of cash flows since purchases of property and equipment are a necessary component of our ongoing operations and provides useful information regarding how cash provided by operating activities compares to the property and equipment investments required to maintain and grow our platform.  We believe it provides investors with an understanding of how assets are performing and measures management's effectiveness in managing cash.  Free Cash Flow is non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.  This measure has limitation in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor do they represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. This measure should not be considered as measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP.

We use Capital Expenditures to determine our total cash spent on acquisition of property and equipment and cash repayment of capital lease obligation and other indebtedness. We believe this measure provides management and investors an understanding of total capital invested in the development of our platform. Capital Expenditures is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other entities. This measure has limitation in that it aggregates cash flows from investing and financing activities as determined under U.S. GAAP.

Management uses Net Debt to review our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.  Further, we believe, certain debt rating agencies, creditors and credit analysts monitor our Net Debt as part of their assessment of our business.  Net Debt is not a measurement of our indebtedness under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternative to assess our total debt or any other measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
