SABRE HOLDINGS BUSINESS REVIEW
TRAVELOCITY
Third quarter Travelocity gross travel sales surpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time in a quarter, coming in at $1.036 billion, an increase of 13 percent compared to $915 million in the year-ago quarter. Third quarter revenue from Travelocity was $106 million on a GAAP basis. Excluding a gain from Hotels.com warrants, Travelocity revenue was $98 million, a 17.7 percent increase compared to $83 million in the third quarter of 2002.
Transaction revenue for the quarter was $80 million, an increase of 34.1 percent, year-over-year. Travelocity non-air transaction revenue, which includes hotel, car, cruise, vacation, last minute and Total Trip businesses, grew 62 percent year-over-year, and 33 percent sequentially. Total hotel revenue grew 49 percent, year-over-year, driven by a 106 percent increase in hotel merchant revenue. The number of Travelocity’s Merchant Hotel bookings grew almost 100 percent sequentially and its mix of merchant hotel volume was 49 percent.
Operationalized hotels participating in the Travelocity merchant model program now exceed 8,700. During the quarter, several major chains joined the program including Carlson Hotels Worldwide(R), Homestead Studio Suites Hotels, Best Western International Inc., the world’s largest hotel chain(R), and in an exclusive agreement, Mandalay Resort Group, featuring five Las Vegas properties.
Yesterday, in another move to broaden its merchant model hotel distribution capabilities, Travelocity announced it reached a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of World Choice Travel (WCT), the U.S.-based hotel room consolidation and distribution business of MyTravel Group PLC. The $50 million cash transaction, anticipated to close in the fourth quarter, is expected to generate additional tax deductions that will effectively reduce Sabre Holdings cost of the acquisition by approximately $13 million, to approximately $37 million.
SABRE TRAVEL NETWORK
Third quarter revenue from the Sabre Travel Network business was $383 million, a decrease of 3.5 percent from $397 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower year-over-year booking volumes combined with lower rates for bookings through the DCA Three-Year option. The decline was partially offset by the earlier than expected recovery in global bookings that began at the end of last quarter and continued in third quarter.
Global travel bookings were 95 million for the third quarter, compared with 98 million in the year-ago quarter, a decline of three percent. This included a slight increase in international bookings, primarily due to a strong post-SARS recovery in the Asia Pacific region and numerous agency conversions to the Sabre GDS in Latin America.
Highlights for the business included four major carriers joining the Sabre DCA Three-Year Option, an industry-leading program that is redefining the GDS business. More than 20 airlines have selected the option including American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United and US Airways.
In addition, the Sabre Travel Network business yesterday announced Jurni Network, a new leisure travel consortium that enables travel agencies to sell more products from preferred travel suppliers by using sophisticated market intelligence.
GETTHERE
GetThere revenue for the third quarter was $14 million, an increase of 0.4 percent year-over-year, and about 14 percent sequentially. Total transactions processed were 2.5 million, an increase of 26 percent, year-over- year. GetThere corporate trip volume grew 33 percent, year-over-year.
During the third quarter, Sabre Holdings announced that it would enhance its ability to serve the corporate market by further aligning the technology and expertise of GetThere with its three other business units. The GetThere integration, which remains on track, is scheduled for completion by end of the year.
GetThere highlights during the quarter included a multi-year contract win to support the U.S. Government’s initiative to streamline its travel reservations. GetThere also continued upgrading customers to GetThere DirectCorporate Release 6, with 125 large companies now using the enhanced product. In addition, GetThere added several new Fortune 500 companies to its roster, including Pfizer Inc.
SABRE AIRLINE SOLUTIONS
Third quarter revenue from Sabre Airline Solutions was $56 million, an increase of 10.7 percent, compared to $50 million in the year-ago quarter. The revenue growth was primarily due to solid performance from the product and services group, including a major contract win with Mexicana Airlines for airline catering and cabin services optimization technology.
The hosting business also won a key contract renewal for the Sabre Passenger Reservations System from ATA Airlines. The contract includes consulting services that exemplifies the continued willingness among customers to expand their relationship to include broader sets of Sabre Airline Solutions services.
Sabre Airline Solutions significantly enhanced its graphical user interface to make it even easier for airline customers to use its reservations and departure control system. The group also completed work with Southwest Airlines for the implementation and roll out of the “Southwest Shortcut,” the industry’s first online tool that allows travelers to search for the lowest fare based on availability for a full month.
SABRE HOLDINGS OUTLOOK
4Q and Full Year 2003
For the fourth quarter, 2003, the company projects revenue to be in the range of $463 million to $475 million, up 2 percent to 5 percent, year-over- year. Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis is expected to be approximately ($0.15).
Excluding the impact of special items, the company projects fourth quarter diluted earnings per share to be approximately $0.00. This projection includes a $20 million restructuring charge, pre-tax, that in the past would have been considered an adjusting special item.
