SOUTHLAKE, Texas – November 2, 2022 – Sabre Corporation ("Sabre" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"After a slow start to the quarter from this summer's airline operational challenges, our bookings recovery improved sequentially through the quarter. September's gross air bookings recovery was the highest of any month compared to 2019 levels since the pandemic began in mid-March 2020. Additionally, we are encouraged by the relaxation or removal of travel protocols in several key Asian hub countries, and have started to see travel accelerate there. We continue to see strong demand across most regions and customer segments," said Sean Menke, Chair of the Board and CEO.
"In addition, we continued to achieve our interim technology transformation milestones, and are already starting to see incremental savings from our migration efforts and infrastructure investments."
Q3 2022 Financial Summary
Sabre consolidated third quarter revenue totaled $663 million, compared to $441 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in global air, hotel and other travel bookings due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and favorable rate impacts in our Travel Solutions business as international and corporate bookings have improved.
Operating loss was $57 million, versus operating loss of $157 million in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in operating results was driven by the items impacting revenue described above, lower depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in stock-based compensation. These impacts were partially offset by increased Travel Solutions incentive expenses and Hospitality Solutions transaction-related costs, as well as total company technology hosting expenses due to volume recovery trends and expected temporary costs resulting from our cloud migration efforts, an increase in certain labor and professional services expenses, increased selling, general and administrative expenses driven by litigation costs, and higher business restructuring and other professional services costs.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $141 million, versus a net loss of $241 million in the third quarter of 2021. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders totaled $0.43, versus diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.75 in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in net loss attributable to common stockholders was driven by the items impacting operating loss described above and a $13 million reduction in loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by higher interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $34 million, versus Adjusted EBITDA of negative $55 million in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased revenue due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and favorable rate impacts in our Travel Solutions business as international and corporate bookings have improved. These impacts were partially offset by increased Travel Solutions incentive expenses and Hospitality Solutions transaction-related costs, higher labor and professional services expenses to support our technology transformation, higher total company technology hosting expenses due to volume
recovery trends and expected temporary costs resulting from our cloud migration efforts, and other expenses.
Adjusted Operating Income was $1 million, versus Adjusted Operating Loss of $103 million in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in operating results was driven by the items impacting Adjusted EBITDA above and by lower depreciation and amortization.
Sabre reported Adjusted EPS of ($0.25), versus ($0.50) in the third quarter of 2021.

Travel Solutions
Third quarter 2022 results (versus prior year):
•Travel Solutions revenue increased 55% to $604 million driven by an increase in global air and other travel bookings due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and favorable rate impacts as international and corporate bookings have improved, partially offset by reduced revenue due to the sale of our AirCentre portfolio effective on February 28, 2022.
•Operating income totaled $69 million, versus operating loss of $39 million in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement in operating results was driven by increased revenue and lower depreciation, partially offset by increased incentive expenses as well as technology hosting expenses due to volume recovery trends and expected temporary costs resulting from our cloud migration efforts, and an increase in certain labor and professional services expenses to support our technology transformation initiatives.
•Distribution revenue increased 76% to $431 million due to the continued recovery in bookings and an increase in average booking fee due to a shift in bookings mix.
◦Global bookings, net of cancellations, totaled 80 million, representing a recovery to 57% of 2019 levels.
◦Net air bookings were at 50%, 58% and 59% of 2019 levels in July, August, and September, respectively.
◦Average booking fee totaled $5.38, a sequential improvement versus $5.35 last quarter, $5.28 in the first quarter of 2022, and $4.96 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
•IT Solutions revenue increased 19% to $173 million. Reservations revenue increased due to the ongoing recovery in passengers boarded. Commercial and Operations revenue declined primarily due to the sale of our AirCentre portfolio effective on February 28, 2022.
◦Airline passengers boarded totaled 180 million, representing a recovery to 96% of 2019 levels.
Hospitality Solutions
Third quarter 2022 results (versus prior year):
•Hospitality Solutions revenue increased 22% to $67 million. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in central reservation system transactions due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Central reservation system transactions increased 18% to 32 million, representing 104% of 2019 levels.
•Operating loss was $11 million, versus operating loss of $9 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change in operating results was primarily driven by increased revenue and lower depreciation and amortization, more than offset by increased transaction-related costs due to volume recovery trends, higher labor and professional services expenses, and other technology costs to support our technology transformation initiatives.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included both financial measures compiled in accordance with GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Loss from continuing operations ("Adjusted Net Loss"), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and ratios based on these financial measures.
We define Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)(1) as operating loss adjusted for equity method loss, impairment and related charges, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring and other costs, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, net, and stock-based compensation.
We define Adjusted Net Loss(1) as net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, preferred stock dividends, impairment and related charges, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring and other costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, other, net, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, net, stock-based compensation, and the tax impact of adjustments.
We define Adjusted EBITDA(1) as loss from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized implementation costs, acquisition-related amortization, impairment and related charges, restructuring and other costs, interest expense, net, other, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, net, stock-based compensation and the remaining benefit for income taxes.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
We define Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Loss divided by adjusted diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
We define Free Cash Flow as cash used in operating activities less cash used in additions to property and equipment.
These non-GAAP financial measures are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to monitor our ongoing core operations because historical results have been significantly impacted by events that are unrelated to our core operations as a result of changes to our business and the regulatory environment. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors, analysts and other interested parties as measures of financial performance and to evaluate our ability to service debt obligations, fund capital expenditures, fund our investments in technology transformation, and meet working capital requirements. We
also believe that Adjusted Operating Loss, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EPS assist investors in company-to-company and period-to-period comparisons by excluding differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions and the impact of depreciation and amortization expense. In addition, amounts derived from Adjusted EBITDA are a primary component of certain covenants under our senior secured credit facilities.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow and ratios based on these financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios based on them are unaudited and have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be viewed in isolation and do not purport to be alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios based on them exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income or cash flows from operating activities and these measures may vary among companies. Our use of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect amortization of capitalized implementation costs associated with our revenue contracts, which may require future working capital or cash needs in the future;
•Adjusted Operating Loss, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•Free Cash Flow removes the impact of accrual-basis accounting on asset accounts and non-debt liability accounts, and does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service the principal payments on our indebtedness; and
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS or Free Cash Flow differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
______________________
(1)For previous periods, no impairment and related charges or restructuring and other costs were recognized. Accordingly, such costs were not previously included in the calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
