Executive summary
Q2 2025 results missed expectations due to weak air distribution bookings, prompting a revised outlook and guidance for the remainder of the year.
Completed sale of the Hospitality Solutions business in July 2025 for $960–$1.1B, with proceeds used to pay down over $1B in debt and extend maturities to 2030.
Strategic focus remains on generating free cash flow, deleveraging the balance sheet, and driving sustainable growth through technology innovation.
Cost reduction initiatives and cloud migration drove lower technology and SG&A expenses, supporting margin improvement.
Now operates as a single reportable segment focused on travel marketplace and airline technology solutions.
Financial highlights
Q2 2025 revenue was $687M, down 1% year-over-year; normalized adjusted EBITDA grew 6% to $127M, and adjusted EBITDA was $118M, up 7%.
Operating income rose to $89M (13% margin), up from $49M (7%) in Q2 2024.
Net loss widened to $256M, mainly due to higher tax provisions and a loss on debt extinguishment.

Total bookings were 90M (-1% YoY); IT Solutions passengers boarded 171M (+1% YoY); hotel bookings 11M (+2% YoY).

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
