Related to Forward-Looking Statements
Certain items in this presentation and in today’s discussion, including matters relating to revenue, net income (loss), and percentages or calculations using these
measures, capital structure, future business opportunities, plans, prospects or growth rates and other financial measurements and non-financial statements relating
to future periods, constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current views with respect to future results
and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated
by forward-looking statements. Travelport Worldwide Limited (the ‘Company’ or ‘Travelport’) refers you to our periodic reports and filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018, and our
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2018, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on
August 2, 2018, and for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, to be filed with the SEC on November 1, 2018 for additional discussion of these risks and
uncertainties, as well as a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made during this presentation speak only as of
today’s date. Travelport expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.

Related to Non-GAAP Financial Information
Travelport analyzes its performance using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income/(Loss), Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), Adjusted Income/(Loss) per Share –
Diluted, Capital Expenditures, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Such measures may not be comparable to similarly named
measures used by other companies. We utilize these measures 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. 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 EBITDA is the primary metric used to evaluate and understand our underlying operations and business trends, forecasting and determining future
capital investment allocations. Adjusted Operating Income/(Loss) and Adjusted Income/(Loss) per Share – Diluted are also used by the Board of Directors to
determine incentive compensation for future periods. Capital Expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense,
are reviewed separately by management. These non-GAAP measures are defined in the ‘Definitions’ appendix of this presentation and discussed and reconciled to
GAAP measures in our quarterly and annual filings with the SEC.
 Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the rounded figures.                                      2

Full year 2018 guidance
With respect to our full year 2018 guidance:

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 approximately $110 million and expected related income taxes of approximately $55 million. Adjusted Net Income guidance
excludes the expected impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $40 million, loss on early extinguishment of debt of $28 million,
expected equity-based compensation and related taxes and corporate and restructuring costs of $60 million to $70 million, income from discontinued operations of
$28 million related to the release of an indemnity provision for liabilities accrued upon the sale of Gullivers Travel Associates in 2011 and an expected income tax
benefit related to the adjustments above of approximately $15 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 such
adjustments along with other tax adjustments.

Adjusted Income per Share – diluted guidance consists of Adjusted Net Income divided by our expected weighted average number of dilutive common shares for
2018 of approximately 127 million.

Free Cash Flow guidance reflects expected net cash provided by operating activities for 2018 of $345 million to $365 million less expected cash additions to
property and equipment of approximately $140 million.
