We believe that we have resources to sufficiently fund our liquidity requirements over at least the next twelve months; however, given the uncertain economic environment and the leveling off of industry air distribution volume growth, we will continue to monitor our liquidity levels and take additional steps should we determine they are necessary.

Currently approximately 32% of our debt, net of cash and hedging impacts from interest rates swaps, is variable and impacted by changes in interest rates. See “Risk Factors—We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations.”

Current wording
In 2024 and 2025, we refinanced and extended the maturity on portions of our debt, which increased our interest rates at the time of these transactions and reduced our liquidity due to our utilizing cash from our balance sheet.

In 2023 and 2024, we implemented a cost reduction plan to reposition our business to the environment and to structurally reduce our cost base. We believe our cash position and the liquidity measures we have taken will provide additional flexibility as we manage through continued headwinds.

We expect the full year 2025 pro forma free cash flow to range from approximately $100 million to approximately $140 million, which we expect to be impacted by normal seasonality on a quarterly basis. Pro forma free cash flow is calculated to give effect to the sale of the Hospitality Solutions business and we have removed the impact of the $227 million payment-in-kind interest that was recorded in conjunction with the refinancing activity in the second quarter of 2025, from pro forma Free Cash Flow.

While our business has incurred net losses on a GAAP basis, we recognized federal taxable income in 2024 based on our operating and non-operating results pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that limit interest expense deduction and the annual use of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and requires companies to capitalize and amortize research and development costs. On July 4, 2025, tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements, so while we had forecasted to be a U.S. federal cash taxpayer in 2025, we expect certain provisions of OBBBA to provide a U.S. federal cash tax benefit for 2025. Additionally, several countries, primarily Canada and in Europe, have adopted DST on revenue earned by multinational companies from the provision of certain digital services, such as the use of an online marketplace, regardless of physical presence. As DSTs are proposed, enacted or changed in jurisdictions around the world, we monitor such legislation and determine its applicability to our operations in these jurisdictions. We record DST in selling, general and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We have accounted for the effects of the OBBBA in our consolidated financial statements, and certain provisions of OBBBA, such as the reinstatement of bonus depreciation, full expensing of R&D expenses, and increases in the limitation of interest deductibility, have provided a U.S. federal cash tax benefit for 2025. Additionally, several countries, primarily Canada and in Europe, have adopted DST on revenue earned by multinational companies from the provision of certain digital services, such as the use of an online marketplace, regardless of physical presence. As DSTs are proposed, enacted or changed in jurisdictions around the world, we monitor such legislation and determine its applicability to our operations in these jurisdictions. We record DST in selling, general and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2025, our outstanding debt totaled $5.0 billion, which is net of debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $125 million. Currently approximately 32% of our debt, net of cash and hedging impacts from interest rates swaps, is variable and impacted by changes in interest rates. See “Risk Factors—We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations." From time to time, we review and consider opportunities to refinance or repurchase our existing debt, as well as conduct debt or equity offerings to support future strategic investments, support operational requirements, provide additional liquidity, or pay down debt.

The global capital markets experienced periods of volatility throughout 2024, which has increased through the second quarter of 2025, in response to the geopolitical conflict, changes in the rate of inflation, uncertainty regarding the path of U.S. monetary policy, and more recently tariff-related policy. During 2024 and 2025, we refinanced portions of our debt which resulted in interest rates higher than prior years, increasing current and future interest expense. Through June 4, 2025, the 2023 Term Loan Agreement, as defined below, provided the ability for interest to be payable-in-kind, such that amounts due were capitalized into the note balance at the payment date rather than paid in cash, reducing our near-term cash payments for interest on this debt. On June 4, 2025, we repaid all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028. Subject to market conditions, we may opportunistically refinance portions of our debt in the near term which, at current interest rates and market conditions, may negatively impact our interest expense or result in higher dilution. In addition, from time to time, we may decide to repurchase or otherwise retire portions of our existing indebtedness through transactions in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or we may redeem or prepay portions of our existing indebtedness. Any such action will depend on market conditions and various other factors existing at that time.

We are required to pay down our term loans by an amount equal to 50% of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This percentage requirement may decrease or be eliminated if certain leverage ratios are achieved. Based on our results for the year ended December 31, 2023, we were not required to make an excess cash flow payment in 2024, and no excess cash flow payment is required in 2025 with respect to our results for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are further required to pay down the term loans with proceeds from certain asset sales, net of taxes, or borrowings, that are not otherwise reinvested in the business, as provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Following the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale, we used the net proceeds primarily to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under our 2021 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $157 million, 2022 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $164 million, 2022 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $178 million, and 2024 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $299 million, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, receivables related to the Hospitality Solutions business were removed from the Securitization Facility on July 3, 2025, and we repaid $23 million of the outstanding balance on our Securitization Facility.

On June 4, 2025, Sabre GLBL issued $1.325 billion aggregate principal amount of 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “July 2030 Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance were used (i) to fully prepay $900 million of its outstanding principal under an intercompany loan agreement with Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC, which applied such amounts toward full prepayment of Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC’s Senior Secured Term Loan due 2028; and (ii) to repurchase $325 million in principal amount of its June 2027 Notes (the “June 2025 Refinancing”). Interest on the July 2030 Notes is due semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026, at a rate of 11.125% per year, and the notes mature on July 15, 2030. As a result of the refinancing, Sabre GLBL incurred additional indebtedness of $100 million. In connection with the June 2025 Refinancing, we repaid an aggregate of $1.225 billion in outstanding principal, $44 million in creditor fees, $34 million in accrued and unpaid interest, and $27 million in new note issuance costs. We concluded that the June 2025 Refinancing represented a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025 of approximately $85 million. The July 2030 Notes are jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by Sabre Holdings and all of Sabre GLBL’s restricted subsidiaries that guarantee Sabre GLBL’s credit facilities governed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

On March 7, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged approximately $36 million of the September 2025 Notes and approximately $7 million of the April 2025 Notes for approximately $50 million aggregate principal amount of additional June 2027 Notes (the "March 2024 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction"). No additional indebtedness was incurred as a result of the March 2024 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction, other than amounts covering exchange fees of approximately $7 million. Other than the issuance date and issue price, these additional June 2027 Notes have the same terms, form a single series with, and are fungible with the June 2027 Notes issued in September 2023. We incurred additional fees of approximately $1 million, which were funded with cash on hand. We determined that the March 2024 Senior Secured Exchange Transaction, including the impact of the exchange fees, represents a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2024 of approximately $7 million, primarily consisting of exchange fees related to the June 2027 Notes. The April 2025 Notes matured, and were repaid in full, on April 15, 2025.

In February 2017, we announced the approval of a multi-year share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to purchase up to $500 million of Sabre's common stock outstanding. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may take place in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. On March 16, 2020, we announced the suspension of share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program in conjunction with the cash management measures we undertook as a result of the market conditions caused by COVID-19. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2025, the Share Repurchase Program remains suspended and approximately $287 million remains authorized for repurchases. In addition, the terms of certain of the agreements governing our indebtedness contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to repurchase our common stock. See “Risk Factors—The terms of our debt covenants could limit our discretion in operating our business and any failure to comply with such covenants could result in the default of all of our debt.”

Cash used in operating activities totaled $282 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
