"Our financial performance during the quarter was driven by double-digit revenue growth across key geographies, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific, benefiting from the increasing breadth of our Travel Commerce Platform.  We continue to truly differentiate ourselves from the competition in four key areas where we have taken industry-leading positions.  In airline merchandising, we continue to see growing adoption by airlines of our Rich Content and Branding merchandising solution, alongside strong growth in away air bookings.  Moreover, we've seen continued momentum in Beyond Air with hospitality and payments both making very good progress.  The integration of our recent acquisition in mobile travel technology, MTT, is progressing ahead of schedule, with many opportunities to explore from a new customer and product perspective.  All of this gives us comfort to tighten our full year guidance on net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and also raise our guidance on full year Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Income per Share."

Discussion of Results for the Third Quarter of 2015

Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

Net revenue increased by $31 million, or 6%, to $560 million primarily due to growth in Travel Commerce Platform revenue of $27 million, or 5%.  RevPas increased 11% to $6.29 driving a $42 million increase in Travel Commerce Platform revenue, which was offset by lower volumes.  International Reported Segments increased 2% driving $7 million of the increase, offset by 13% decrease in U.S. Reported Segments, due to the impact of our 2014 renegotiated contract with Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. ("Orbitz Worldwide").  Overall, total Reported Segments decreased 5% to 84 million.

Within Travel Commerce Platform revenue, there was an $18 million increase in Beyond Air revenue and a $9 millionincrease in Air revenue.  The Air revenue increase was mainly due to improved mix and merchandising.  Beyond Air revenue increased 17% to $129 million primarily driven by continued growth in payment solutions and hospitality, as well as our expansion into mobile solutions.  Technology Services revenue increased by $4 million primarily due to growth in application development.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2 million, or 2%, to $131 million.  The decrease is primarily the result of lower volumes and increased expenses as we continue to invest in our platform through acquisition, expansion of our go-to-market commercial capabilities and incremental public company administrative expenses.

Net Income
