Sabre highlights improvement in volume metrics, better financial performance and reports second quarter 2022 results

Company raises 2022 financial guidance

Second quarter 2022 business highlights:
Air bookings recovery accelerated in all four major global regions each month during the quarter
Corporate and international travel continued to rebound, driving improved mix and higher than expected revenue per booking
The technology transformation, including mainframe offload and cloud migration, moved forward and remained solidly on track to reach stated long-term cost savings goals
Ended the quarter with cash balance of $1.0 billion

Second quarter 2022 summary:
Second quarter revenue totaled $658 million
Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $193 million and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.59
Adjusted EPS totaled ($0.25)

SOUTHLAKE, Texas – August 2, 2022 – Sabre Corporation ("Sabre" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"In the quarter we experienced solid improvements in each of our volume metrics. Specifically, we saw sequential volume improvements in air bookings each month during the second quarter, across all key global regions. The strong booking fee increase was driven in part by improvements in long-haul international and business travel. As global travel and testing restrictions lifted, a robust travel recovery ensued and we were ready for it. Unfortunately, some airlines and airports have struggled with the pace of the recovery, leading to capacity growth moderating as the carriers and airports sought to stabilize operations with a backdrop of strong consumer demand. Overall, we firmly believe the travel recovery remains on a long-term upward

1



trajectory, and passengers both corporate and leisure continue to show a strong desire to fly," said Sean Menke, Chair of the Board and CEO.

"In addition, we continue to achieve our interim technology transformation milestones, and we remain on track to deliver on our expectations for significant savings and expand revenue opportunities."

Q2 2022 Financial Summary

Sabre consolidated second quarter revenue totaled $658 million, compared to $420 million in the second 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 $70 million, versus operating loss of $180 million in the second quarter of 2021. The improvement in operating results was driven by the items impacting revenue described above and lower depreciation and amortization. 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, and an increase in certain labor and compensation expenses.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $193 million, versus a net loss of $251 million in the second quarter of 2021. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders totaled $0.59, versus diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.79 in the second quarter of 2021. The improvement in net loss attributable to common stockholders was driven by the items impacting operating loss described above, offset by a $30 million fair value loss on our investment in shares of Global Business Travel Group, Inc. ("GBT"), a $12 million reduction on the gain on sale of AirCentre, and higher interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $24 million, versus Adjusted EBITDA of negative $70 million in the second 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, as well as total company technology hosting expenses due

2



to volume recovery trends and expected temporary costs resulting from our cloud migration efforts, and increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to our investments in business systems, cybersecurity, and increased compensation to attract and retain talent.

Adjusted Operating Loss was $9 million, versus Adjusted Operating Loss of $122 million in the second 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 ($0.52) in the second quarter of 2021.

With regards to Sabre's second quarter 2022 cash flows (versus prior year):
Cash used in operating activities totaled $73 million (vs. $141 million used in)
Cash used in investing activities totaled $103 million (vs. $1 million used in)
Cash used in financing activities totaled $15 million (vs. $20 million used in)
Capitalized expenditures totaled $16 million (vs. $11 million)

Free Cash Flow was negative $89 million, versus Free Cash Flow of negative $152 million
in the second quarter of 2021.

Travel Solutions

Second quarter 2022 results (versus prior year):
Travel Solutions revenue increased 60% to $599 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 $58 million, versus operating loss of $68 million in the second 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 98% to $432 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 81 million, representing a recovery to 57% of 2019 levels.
Net air bookings were at 52%, 56% and 60% of 2019 levels in April, May and June, respectively.
Average booking fee totaled $5.35, a sequential improvement versus $5.28 last quarter, $4.96 in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $4.59 in the third quarter of 2021. This increase is due to an improvement in bookings mix and reduced cancellation activity.
IT Solutions revenue increased 8% to $168 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 160 million, representing a recovery to 89% of 2019 levels.

Hospitality Solutions

Second quarter 2022 results (versus prior year):

5



Hospitality Solutions revenue increased 30% to $66 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 and increased Digital Experience revenue.
Central reservation system transactions increased 23% to 30 million, representing 102% of 2019 levels.
Operating loss was $12 million, versus operating loss of $9 million in the second 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, and higher labor and professional services expenses and other technology costs to support our technology transformation initiatives.


Business and Financial Outlook

With respect to the 2022 financial outlook below:
Full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance consists of (1) full-year expected net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the estimated impact of loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of approximately $2 million; net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately $4 million; preferred stock dividends of approximately $20 million; acquisition-related amortization of approximately $50 million; stock-based compensation expense of approximately $100 million; other net benefit due to gains on sale of assets and foreign exchange gains and losses, partially offset by other costs including litigation, acquisition-related costs, restructuring and other costs, and loss on debt extinguishment of $110 million; and the tax benefit from the above adjustments of approximately $2 million, less (2) the impact of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized implementation costs of approximately $135 million; interest expense, net of approximately $285 million; and benefit from income taxes less tax impact of net income adjustments of approximately $1 million.

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 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 Loss as operating loss adjusted for equity method loss, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring and other costs, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, net, and stock-based compensation.

We define Adjusted Net Loss 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, 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 as loss from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized implementation costs, acquisition-related amortization, 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 provision (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
14


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 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 Loss, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS or Free Cash Flow differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
