Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. General Information

Sabre Corporation is a Delaware corporation formed in December 2006. On March 30, 2007, Sabre Corporation acquired Sabre Holdings Corporation (“Sabre Holdings”). Sabre Holdings is the sole direct subsidiary of Sabre Corporation. Sabre GLBL Inc. (“Sabre GLBL”) is the principal operating subsidiary and sole direct subsidiary of Sabre Holdings. Sabre GLBL or its direct or indirect subsidiaries conduct all of our businesses. In these consolidated financial statements, references to “Sabre,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Sabre Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

Recent Events—On April 27, 2025, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement with an affiliate of TPG (the “Buyer”), an unrelated party, pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase our Hospitality Solutions business, and on July 3, 2025, we closed the sale (the “Hospitality Solutions Sale”). The assets and liabilities associated with the Hospitality Solutions business are presented as discontinued operations on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and the operating results of our Hospitality Solutions business are presented as discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions for further details.

Segments—As a result of the Hospitality Solutions Sale, we now manage and report our business inone reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer and President, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis to monitor budget versus actual results for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Our measure of segment profit and loss is net income (loss), as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. Our significant segment expenses, which are the expenses included in operating income, and other segment items, which includes other income (expense) and benefit from (provision for) income taxes, are included in our consolidated statements of operations. Total assets as presented on our consolidated balance sheets represent total assets considered by our CODM for any relevant operating evaluations.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.

We consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries and companies over which we exercise control through majority voting rights. No entities are consolidated due to control through operating agreements, financing agreements or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and the tables in the notes, except per share amounts, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All amounts in the notes reference results from continuing operations unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of these interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that certain amounts be recorded based on estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies that utilize significant estimates and assumptions include: (i) estimation for revenue recognition and multiple performance obligation arrangements, (ii) the evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill, (iii) the evaluation of uncertainties surrounding the calculation of our tax assets and liabilities, and (iv) estimation of loss contingencies. Our use of estimates and the related accounting policies are discussed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through improvements primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The updated standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The updated standard can be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application to all periods presented is permitted. We plan to adopt the guidance on a prospective basis. We have substantially evaluated the impact of adopting this standard and expect additional disclosures to be provided as required, including (1) disclosing specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) providing additional information for reconciling items that meet or exceed a quantitative threshold. Additionally, we will disclose information about income taxes paid on an annual basis by jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance regarding disaggregation of income statement expenses, which requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance regarding intangibles—goodwill and other—internal-use software, which updates the accounting and disclosures for software costs. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Contract Balances

Revenue recognition for a significant portion of our revenue coincides with normal billing terms, including our transactional revenues, Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) revenues, and hosted revenues. Timing differences among revenue recognition, unconditional rights to bill, and receipt of contract consideration may result in contract assets or contract liabilities.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities with customers as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands).

AccountConsolidated Balance Sheet LocationSeptember 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract assets and customer advances and discounts(1)Prepaid expenses and other current assets / other assets, net$18,247$28,112
Trade and unbilled receivables, netAccounts receivable, net377,222282,173
Long-term trade unbilled receivables, netOther assets, net19,27820,531
Contract liabilitiesDeferred revenues / other noncurrent liabilities96,855107,867

(1) Includes contract assets of $4 million and $8 million for September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized revenue of approximately $21 million from contract liabilities that existed as of January 1, 2025. Our long-term trade unbilled receivables, net relate to fixed license fees billed over the contractual period and recognized when the customer gains control of the software. We evaluate collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors and record reserves as described further in Note 6. Credit Losses.

Revenue

The following table presents our disaggregated revenues (in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Distribution$575,308$550,996$1,690,189$1,673,848

Total Sabre Revenue$715,183$691,300$2,104,458$2,099,983

We may occasionally recognize revenue in the current period for performance obligations partially or fully satisfied in the previous periods resulting from changes in estimates for the transaction price, including any changes to our assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the impact on revenue recognized in the current period from performance obligations partially or fully satisfied in the previous period is immaterial.

Our air booking cancellation reserve totaled $14 million and $11 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Unearned performance obligations primarily consist of deferred revenue for fixed implementation fees and future product implementations, which are included in deferred revenue and other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. We have not disclosed the performance obligation related to contracts containing minimum transaction volume, as it represents a subset of our business, and therefore would not be meaningful in understanding the total future revenues expected to be earned from our long-term contracts.

  1. Discontinued Operations and Dispositions

On April 27, 2025, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase our Hospitality Solutions business, and on July 3, 2025, we closed the transactionfor estimated cash proceeds of $965 million, net. Cash proceeds are net of estimated taxes and fees, cash acquired by the Buyer and customary closing adjustments. We recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $821 million (after-tax $723 million) in the third quarter of 2025, which is recorded in Other, net, within discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The assets and liabilities associated with the Hospitality Solutions business are presented as discontinued operations on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and the operating results of our Hospitality Solutions business are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The presentation of discontinued operations excludes general corporate overhead and other costs that do not meet the requirements to be presented as discontinued operations. Interest expense associated with the debt that was required to be repaid with the proceeds from the Hospitality Solutions Sale as well as the related loss on extinguishment of debt is classified as discontinued operations within our results of operations in all periods presented. See Note 7. Debt for further details.

In connection with the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale, we entered into transition services agreements ("TSA") with the Buyer, under which we will provide transition services consisting of technology, employment, administrative and other services for up to aneighteen month period to help provide for an orderly transition and facilitate the ongoing operations of the Hospitality Solutions business following the close. Consideration received under the agreements is primarily based on actual costs incurred for each service provided. Amounts due for transition services provided to the Hospitality Solutions business under the TSA, net of direct and incremental costs to provide the services, are recorded to Other, net, within continuing operations in our consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and presented within the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Service charges under the TSA were approximately $20 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and cash receipts related to the TSA charges were approximately $13 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Under the TSA, we also collect funds and make payments on behalf of Hospitality Solutions. These net receipts or payments are presented as Net Receipts (Payments) on Behalf under TSA within the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows.

Additionally, at the time of sale, Hospitality Solutions entered into certain long-term agreements with us to continue to utilize our global distribution system ("GDS") for bookings which generates revenue for us. Consideration received under these revenue agreements has been assessed and determined to be at fair value. Revenue earned and cash received since the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale related to these agreements was approximately $11 million and $3 million, respectively for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Historically, Travel Solutions recognized inter-segment revenue for bookings generated by our Hospitality Solutions business. Revenue that was previously eliminated but is now in our results of continuing operations was immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and totaled $35 million and $31 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

  1. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On February 1, 2023, we sold common shares representing a 19% interest in the direct parent of Conferma Limited, our subsidiary that is a virtual payments technology company (“Conferma”), to a third party for cash consideration of $16 million. In connection with the sale, we entered into a governing agreement which requires us under limited conditions to redeem the 19% interest, if requested, for the original purchase price of $16 million. We currently do not believe it is probable that the noncontrolling interest will become redeemable, given the remote likelihood of the applicable conditions being satisfied.

As the common shares are redeemable upon the occurrence of conditions not solely within our control, we recorded the noncontrolling interest as redeemable and classified it as temporary equity within our consolidated balance sheet initially at fair value. The noncontrolling interest is adjusted each reporting period for loss or income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $11 million and $13 million, respectively.

The following table presents the changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest of a consolidated subsidiary in temporary equity during the period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest(1,628)(1,098)
Redeemable noncontrolling interest, end of period$11,300$13,277
  1. Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $21 million of income tax expense for continuing operations, compared to an income tax expense of $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 represents the rate expected for the year applied to year to date earnings before tax and the impact of certain discrete items in the quarter. The effective tax rate is impacted by a decrease in the valuation allowance due primarily to interest expense limitations, offset by loss utilization. The difference between our effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily results from the impact of changes in the valuation allowance, our geographic mix of taxable income in various tax jurisdictions, tax permanent differences and tax credits.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. We believe it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will not generate sufficient taxable income in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions to realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets. We have determined that a portion of the deferred tax assets related to certain state and foreign net operating losses, interest limitation and other assets are not more likely than not to be realized and have recorded a valuation allowance against such assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased.

We recognize liabilities when we believe that an uncertain tax position may not be fully sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. This evaluation requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. When facts and circumstances change, we reassess these probabilities and record any changes in the consolidated financial statements as appropriate.

  1. Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of services provided to participants in the travel and transportation industry, which we consider to be our singular portfolio segment. We develop and document our methodology used in determining the allowance for credit losses at the portfolio segment level. Within the travel portfolio segment, we identify airlines, hoteliers and travel agencies as each presenting unique risk characteristics associated with historical credit loss patterns, and we determine the adequacy of our allowance for credit loss by assessing the risks and losses inherent in our receivables related to each.

We evaluate the collectability of our receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as bankruptcy filings or failure to pay amounts due to us or others, we specifically reserve for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the recorded receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we record reserves for receivables, including unbilled receivables and contract assets, based on historical experience and the length of time the receivables are past due. The estimate of credit losses is developed by analyzing historical twelve-month collection rates and adjusting for current customer-specific factors indicating financial instability and other macroeconomic factors that correlate with the expected collectability of our receivables.

Our allowance for credit losses relates to all financial assets, primarily trade receivables due in less than one year recorded in Accounts Receivable, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Our allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 for our portfolio segment is summarized as follows (in thousands):

  1. Debt

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our outstanding debt included in our consolidated balance sheets totaled $4,216 million and $5,065 million, respectively, which are net of debt issuance costs of $46 million and $56 million, respectively, and unamortized discounts of $60 million and $100 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the face values of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

The weighted average interest rate on our short-term borrowings, which include our 7.32% senior exchangeable notes due 2026 and the current portions of the 2021 Term Loan B-1 and 2024 Term Loan B-2, is 7.35% as of September 30, 2025.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Refinancing Transactions

On November 25, 2024, we entered into a third and fourth amendment (together, the “Term Loan B Amendments”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 19, 2013 (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") pursuant to which Sabre GLBL agreed to exchange $775 million of our existing senior secured term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) for the same amount of new senior secured term loans maturing on November 15, 2029 (the “2024 Term Loans”). We incurred no additional indebtedness as a result of this refinancing. The Term Loan B Amendments included the application of the proceeds of a new $700 million and $75 million term loan “B” facility (the “2024 Term Loan B-1” and the ”2024 Term Loan B-2”, respectively), borrowed by Sabre GLBL under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with the effect of extending the maturity of approximately $775 million of the existing Term Loan B credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit

Agreement. Sabre GLBL did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange and did not incur additional indebtedness as a result of the Term Loan B Amendments. We incurred third-party fees of approximately $10 million plus $14 million of accrued and unpaid interest, of which $9 million and $14 million were paid in cash, respectively, during the year ending December 31, 2024. The remaining third-party fees have been paid as of September 30, 2025. We determined that the Term Loan B Amendments represent a debt modification and therefore we expensed all $10 million of third-party costs, to Other, Net in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and were included in cash flow from operations as paid. The 2024 Term Loan B-1 and 2024 Term Loan B-2 mature on November 15, 2029. They offer us the ability to prepay or repay with a 1.0% call premium on or prior to thesix-month anniversary of the amendment effective date, or without a call premium thereafter. The 2024 Term Loans bear interest at Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 600 basis points, or at base rate, plus an applicable margin of 500 basis points. The term SOFR for the 2024 Term Loans is subject to a floor of 0.50% per annum and the base rate is subject to a floor of 1.50% per annum. Except for the extended maturity and new pricing terms, the 2024 Term Loans have substantially similar terms as the Existing Term Loans, including guarantees and security interests.

Debt paydown related to the sale of Hospitality Solutions business

Following the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale on July 3, 2025, we used the net proceeds primarily to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness, including repayments under our (i) 2021 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $158 million, (ii) 2022 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $164 million, (iii) 2022 Term Loan B-2 in the amount of $178 million, and (iv) 2024 Term Loan B-1 in the amount of $299 million, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $14 million in discontinued operations within our results of operations, primarily consisting of unamortized debt issuance cost and discount associated with these prepayments. Interest expense associated with the principal indebtedness that was repaid is classified as discontinued operations within our results of operations in all periods presented.

Financial Covenants

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the loan parties are subject to certain customary non-financial covenants, including restrictions on incurring certain types of indebtedness, creation of liens on certain assets, making of certain investments, and payment of dividends. We are further required to pay down the term loans with proceeds from certain asset sales, if not reinvested into the business within 15 months, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028

On June 13, 2023, Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC (“Sabre FB”), our indirect, consolidated subsidiary entered into a series of transactions including a term loan credit agreement with certain lenders (the "2023 Term Loan Agreement") and an intercompany secured term loan agreement (the "Pari Passu Loan Agreement"). On June 4, 2025, we repaid all outstanding balances under these agreements in conjunction with the June 2025 refinancing (as defined below).

The 2023 Term Loan Agreement provided for a senior secured term loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028”) that matured on December 15, 2028 and offered us the ability to prepay subject to prepayment premiums as follows: (i) with respect to any prepayment occurring on or prior to the second anniversary of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement, a customary make-whole amount, and (ii) with respect to any prepayment occurring after the second anniversary of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement and on or prior the third anniversary of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement,25% of the applicable interest margin assuming all interest was payable-in-kind. After the third anniversary of the 2023 Term Loan Agreement, all prepayments could have been made at par plus accrued interest.

The interest on the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 was payable in cash; provided that, at our election, from the date of the agreement, until the last interest payment date occurring on or prior to December 31, 2025, the interest could have been payable-in-kind. The Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 bore interest at a floating rate, with interest periods ending on each successive three month anniversary of the closing date and set in arrears based on the average of the highest yield to maturity of any tranche of Sabre GLBL’s or any of its affiliates’ outstanding secured indebtedness (as defined within the 2023 Term Loan Agreement) on each of the 20 prior trading days (the “Reference Rate”), plus (i)25 basis points for cash interest or (ii)175 basis points for payable-in-kind interest. The all-in interest rate floor was 11.50% for cash interest and 13.00% for payable-in-kind interest and the all-in interest rate ceiling was 17.50% for cash interest and 19.00% for payable-in-kind interest. We elected interest to be payable-in-kind. Interest on the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 was accrued and payable or capitalized to principal if not elected to be paid in cash, commencing on June 13, 2023, and ending on the date three months thereafter and each successive three-month anniversary thereof on September 13, December 13, March 13, and June 13 of each year. We capitalized interest for the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 totaling $28 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We didnot capitalize interest during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as we repaid all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 on June 4, 2025 in conjunction with the June 2025 Refinancing.

Senior Secured Notes

On March 7, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged approximately $36 million of our 7.375% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “September 2025 Notes”) and approximately $7 million of our 9.250% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “April 2025 Notes”) for approximately $50 million aggregate principal amount of additional 8.625% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $7 million, primarily consisting of exchange fees related to the June 2027 Notes.

On November 25, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged approximately $246 million in principal amount of the June 2027 Notes and approximately $509 million in principal amount of our 11.250% senior secured notes due December 2027 (the “December 2027 Notes”) for approximately $800 million of new 10.750% senior secured notes due November 2029 (the “November 2029 Notes”) (the “Initial November 2024 Exchange Transactions”). Shortly thereafter, on November 27, 2024, Sabre GLBL issued an additional approximately $25 million in aggregate principal amount of November 2029 Notes in exchange for approximately $21 million of the April 2025 Notes and approximately $4 million of the September 2025 Notes (together with the Initial November 2024 Exchange Transactions, the “November 2024 Exchange Transactions”). Other than the issuance date and issue price, these additional November 2029 notes have the same terms, form a single series with, and are fungible with the November 2029 Notes described above. The November 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.750% per annum, and interest payments are due semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2025. The November 2029 Notes mature on November 15, 2029. Sabre GLBL did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange and did not incur additional indebtedness as a result of the exchange other than $45 million of early exchange consideration on the November 2029 Notes, which was recorded as a discount. We incurred $11 million in fees, along with $31 million in accrued and unpaid interest. We determined that the November 2024 Exchange Transactions, including the impact of the early exchange consideration, represent a debt modification and therefore, expensed $11 million of debt modification costs in Other, net in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and included in cash flow from operations as paid. The November 2029 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.

The remaining April 2025 Notes and the September 2025 Notes matured, and were repaid in full in the second and third quarters of 2025, respectively.

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 the Pari Passu Loan Agreement with Sabre FB, which applied such amounts toward full prepayment of Sabre FB’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 semi-annually 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 third-party fees. We concluded that the June 2025 Refinancing represented a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $85 million. Cash proceeds from the new issuance, payments for the debt principal prepayment (excluding previously capitalized interest amounts) as well as third-party costs and fees paid to lenders that were directly related to the debt extinguishment were reflected as financing cash flows within our consolidated statements of cash flows. Payments associated with interest previously capitalized are reflected as operating cash flows within our consolidated statement of cash flows. 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.

Securitization Facility

On February 14, 2023, Sabre Securitization, LLC, our indirect, consolidated subsidiary and a special purpose entity (“Sabre Securitization”), entered into athree-year committed accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended from time to time the “Securitization Facility”) of up to $200 million with PNC Bank, N.A.

On March 29, 2024, Sabre Securitization increased the overall size of the existing Securitization Facility from $200 million to $235 million by issuing a $120 million "first-in, last-out" term loan tranche under the Securitization Facility (such tranche, the "FILO Facility") and reducing the revolving tranche under the Securitization Facility to $115 million (such tranche, the "AR Facility"). In connection with the issuance of the FILO Facility, the maturity date of the Securitization Facility was extended to March 29, 2027 and the springing maturity date thereunder was terminated. The FILO Facility provides the ability to prepay or repay at certain redemption premiums as set forth in the agreement. The net proceeds received from the FILO Facility of $117 million, net of $3 million in fees paid to creditors, will be used for general corporate purposes. We incurred additional fees of $4 million, which were funded with cash on hand.

On July 3, 2025, we repaid $23 million of the outstanding balance on our Securitization Facility due to the removal of receivables related to the Hospitality Solutions business.

The amount available for borrowings at any one time under the Securitization Facility is limited to a borrowing base calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible receivables, subject to certain reserves. As of September 30, 2025, we had $198 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility, consisting of $78 million under the AR Facility and $120 million outstanding under the FILO Facility.

The FILO Facility bears interest at SOFR plus a drawn fee of 8.00% per annum. Interest and fees payable by Sabre Securitization under the FILO Facility are due monthly.

Borrowings under the AR Facility bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR, subject to a 0% floor, plus a drawn fee, initially in the amount of 2.25%, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment. In connection with the issuance of the FILO Facility, the initial drawn fee rate was increased from 2.25% to 4.00%. The drawn fee rate, which was 4.00% as of September 30, 2025, varies based on our leverage ratio. Sabre Securitization also pays a fee on the undrawn committed amount of the AR Facility. Interest and fees payable by Sabre Securitization under the AR Facility are due monthly. Unamortized net debt issuance costs related to our AR Facility are $1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which are recorded in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the Securitization Facility, certain of our subsidiaries (the “Originators”) have sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, substantially all of their accounts receivable and certain related assets (collectively, the “Receivables”) to Sabre Securitization to be held as collateral for borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Sabre Securitization’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of Sabre Corporation or any of its affiliates. Under the terms of the Securitization Facility, the lenders under the AR Facility and FILO Facility would have a senior priority claim to the assets of Sabre Securitization, which will primarily consist of the Receivables of the Originators participating in the Securitization Facility. As of September 30, 2025, $351 million of Receivables are held as assets by Sabre Securitization, consisting of $343 million of accounts receivable and $8 million of other assets, net in our conso lidated balance sheets.

The Securitization Facility is accounted for as a secured borrowing on a consolidated basis, rather than a sale of assets; as a result, (i) Receivables balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, (ii) our consolidated statements of operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged Receivables and interest expense associated with the Securitization Facility and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying Receivables are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the Securitization Facility are reflected as financing cash flows within our consolidated statements of cash flows. The receivables and other assets of Sabre Securitization are not available to satisfy creditors of any entity other than Sabre Securitization.

The Securitization Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, subject to certain cure periods in some cases, including the eligibility of the Receivables being sold by the Originators and securing the loans made by the lenders, as well as customary reserve requirements, events of default, termination events, and servicer defaults. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Securitization Facility.

On April 17, 2020, Sabre GLBL entered into a debt agreement (the "2025 Exchangeable Notes Indenture") consisting of $345 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior exchangeable notes due 2025 (the “2025 Exchangeable Notes”). The 2025 Exchangeable Notes were senior, unsecured obligations of Sabre GLBL, and accrued interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The 2025 Exchangeable Notes matured on April 15, 2025, and were settled with cash.

On March 19, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged $150 million aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 2025 Exchangeable Notes for $150 million aggregate principal amount of Sabre GLBL's newly-issued 7.32% senior exchangeable notes due 2026 (the "2026 Exchangeable Notes" and, together with the 2025 Exchangeable Notes, the "Exchangeable Notes") and approximately $30 million of cash (the "March 2024 Exchangeable Notes Exchange Transaction"). We incurred additional fees of approximately $5 million in associated fees and expenses plus $3 million of accrued and unpaid interest, all of which were funded with cash on hand. We determined that the March 2024 Exchangeable Notes Exchange Transaction, including the impact of the exchange fees, represents a debt extinguishment and therefore recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $31 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange and did not incur additional indebtedness in excess of the aggregate principal amount of existing notes that were exchanged. The 2026 Exchangeable Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Sabre GLBL, accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1 2024, and mature on August 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged in accordance with specified circumstances and terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Exchangeable Notes (the "2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture" and, together with the 2025 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the Exchangeable Notes Indentures). As of September 30, 2025, we have $150 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Exchangeable Notes outstanding.

Under the terms of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the 2026 Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable into common stock of Sabre Corporation (referred to as“our common stock” herein) at the following times or circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

during thefive consecutive business days immediately after anyfive consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the“Measurement Period”) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, as determined following a request by a holder in accordance with the procedures in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the exchange rate on such trading day;

upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, including but not limited to a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture);

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or

on or after February 1, 2026, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, August 1, 2026.

With certain exceptions, upon a Change of Control or other Fundamental Change (both as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture), the holders of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes may require us to repurchase all or part of the principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. As of September 30, 2025, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes to exchange have been met.

The 2026 Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at their holder’s election into shares of our common stock based on an initial exchange rate of 222.2222 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $4.50 per share. The exchange rate is subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments. Upon exchange, Sabre GLBL will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. If a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occurred with respect to any 2026 Exchangeable Note and the exchange date for the exchange of such 2026 Exchangeable Note occurred during the related “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Exchange Period” (as defined in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture), then, subject to the provisions set forth in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the exchange rate applicable to such exchange would have been increased by a number of shares set forth in the table contained in the 2026 Exchangeable Notes Indenture, based on a function of the time since origination and our stock price on the date of the occurrence of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the contractual life of the Exchangeable Notes through interest expense, within our results from continuing operations. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2025 was 8.82% for the 2026 Exchangeable Notes. The effective interest rates at September 30, 2024 were 4.78% and 8.82% for the 2025 Exchangeable Notes and the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, respectively.

  1. Derivatives

Hedging Objectives—We are exposed to certain risks relating to ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with our floating-rate borrowings.

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedging, we designate interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy—We enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swap agreements modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense and net earnings. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portions and ineffective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Cash flow hedges are classified in the same category in the consolidated statements of cash flows as the items being hedged and gains and losses on the derivative financial instruments are reported in cash provided by (used in) operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in Other, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts—Interest rate swaps outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are as follows:

(1)Subject to a 0.5% floor.

In February 2023, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap to hedge the first interest payments associated with $250 million of certain of our term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the year ended 2024. In June 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the first interest payments associated with $250 million of certain of our term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the periods through June 2026. In January 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the first interest payments associated with $250 million of certain of our term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement related to the years 2024 and 2025. We designated these swaps as cash flow hedges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an immaterial cash flow impact related to our interest rate swaps, which is reported as cash provided by operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2025, we estimate that $2 million in losses will be reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income to earnings over the next 12 months.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. Guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of inputs used in measuring fair value defined as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in non-active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are not directly observable, but are corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable and are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment.

The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the least reliable level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. We also consider the counterparty and our own non-performance risk in our assessment of fair value.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Interest Rate Swaps—The fair value of our interest rate swaps is estimated using a combined income and market-based valuation methodology based upon Level 2 inputs, including credit ratings and forward interest rate yield curves obtained from independent pricing services.

Money market funds—Our valuation technique used to measure the fair values of our money market funds was derived from quoted market prices and active markets for these instruments that exist.

Time deposits—Our valuation technique used to measure the fair values of our time deposit instruments was derived from the following: non-binding market consensus prices that were corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar instruments.

Investment in securities—In May 2022, we acquired 8 million shares of Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, of Global Business Travel Group, Inc. (“GBT”) for an aggregate purchase price of $80 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The terms of these shares did not contain any restrictions that would impact our ability to sell the shares in the future. The fair value of our investment in GBT was based on its share price, a Level 1 input, as the stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GBTG. In the third quarter of 2024, we sold all 8 million shares of our investment for $55 million and recognized a net gain of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Unrealized losses recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 from our investments in securities were not material.

The following tables present our assets (liabilities) that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable approximates their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair values of our 2025 Exchangeable Notes and 2026 Exchangeable Notes, senior secured notes due 2025, 2027, 2029 and 2030 and term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are determined based on quoted market prices for a similar liability when traded as an asset in an active market, a Level 2 input. The fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2028 and FILO Facility were determined using a valuation model that includes certain assumptions and Level 3 inputs. The outstanding principal balances of our AR Facility and FILO Facility approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the fair value and carrying value of our senior notes and borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We assess goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators arise. We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances such as changes in market conditions, near and long-term demand and other relevant factors, that could indicate that the fair value of any one of our reporting units may more likely than not have fallen below its respective carrying amount. We have not identified any triggering events or changes in circumstances since the performance of our annual goodwill impairment test that would require us to perform another goodwill impairment test. We didnot record any goodwill impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

  1. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred income taxes, are as follows (in thousands):

September 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans$(78,651)$(76,510)
Unrealized foreign currency translation gain9,2528,196
Unrealized loss on interest rate swaps(2,328)(2,793)
Share of other comprehensive loss of equity method investments(2,750)(2,640)
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax$(74,477)$(73,747)

The amortization of actuarial losses and periodic service credits associated with our retirement-related benefit plans is primarily included in Other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025, we have contributed $14 million to our defined benefit pension plan in 2025. Based on current assumptions, we expect to make additional contributions of up to $2 million in 2025 to our defined benefit pension plan. See Note 8. Derivatives, for information on the income statement line items affected as the result of reclassification adjustments associated with derivatives.

  1. Stock and Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program

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 certain cash management measures we undertook as a result of the market conditions caused by COVID-19. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we didnot repurchase any shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2025, the Share Repurchase Program remains suspended and approximately $287 million remains authorized for repurchases.

On April 17, 2020, we issued $345 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Exchangeable Notes. On March 19, 2024, Sabre GLBL exchanged $150 million aggregate principal amount of our then-outstanding 2025 Exchangeable Notes for $150 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes and approximately $30 million of cash. Under the terms of the Exchangeable Notes Indentures, the Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable into our common stock under specified circumstances, at our election. As of September 30, 2025, we had$150 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Exchangeable Notes outstanding. The 2025 Exchangeable Notes matured on April 15, 2025, and were settled with cash. See Note 7. Debt for further details. Until the 2026 Exchangeable Notes mature, we expect to settle the principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Exchangeable Notes in shares of our common stock.

  1. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except per share data):

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Numerator:
Income (loss) from continuing operations$48,165$(62,418)$(156,230)$(199,239)
Less: Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests(266)(315)(221)338
Net income (loss) from continuing operations available to common stockholders, basic48,431(62,103)(156,009)(199,577)
Add: Interest expense and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for exchangeable notes, net of tax2,526———

Denominator:
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding394,580385,729390,616383,013
Add: Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards1,340———
Add: Dilutive effect of exchangeable notes33,333———
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding429,253385,729390,616383,013
Loss per share from continuing operations:
Basic$0.12$(0.16)$(0.40)$(0.52)
Diluted$0.12$(0.16)$(0.40)$(0.52)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents during each period. The diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding calculation excludes 4 million of dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 3 million and 2 million of dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net loss incurred in the period. The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares excludes the impact of 8 million and 1 million of anti-dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 1 million and 3 million of anti-dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

We have used the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the Exchangeable Notes on our diluted net income per share. Under the if-converted method, the 2025 Exchangeable Notes are assumed to be converted at the beginning of each period and the 2026 Exchangeable Notes are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the 2025 period and at the issuance date of March 19, 2024 for the 2024 period. The resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation for the entire period being presented and interest expense, net of tax, recorded in connection with the Exchangeable Notes is added back to the numerator, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The approximately 42 million resulting common shares related to the Exchangeable Notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and approximately 57 million resulting common shares related to the Exchangeable Notes for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not included in the dilutive weighted-average common shares outstanding calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net loss incurred in the period.

  1. Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

While certain legal proceedings and related indemnification obligations to which we are a party specify the amounts claimed, these amounts may not represent reasonably possible losses. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time, nor can the amount of possible loss or range of loss, if any, be reasonably estimated, except in circumstances where an aggregate litigation accrual has been recorded for probable and reasonably estimable loss contingencies. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each matter. The amount of the accrual may change in the future due to new information or developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

Indian Income Tax Litigation

We are a defendant in income tax litigation brought by the Indian Director of Income Tax (“DIT”) in the Supreme Court of India. The dispute arose in 1999 when the DIT asserted that we have a permanent establishment within the meaning of the Income Tax Treaty between the United States and the Republic of India and accordingly issued tax assessments for assessment years ending March 1998 and March 1999. The DIT later issued further tax assessments for assessment years ending March 2000 through March 2006. The DIT has continued to issue tax assessments on a similar basis for subsequent years. We appealed the tax assessments for assessment years ending March 1998 through March 2006 and those years are now closed, in our favor. In addition, we have appealed assessment years ended March 2021 through March 2023 with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ("ITAT"); no trial date has been set for these items.

In addition, Sabre Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (“SAPPL”) is currently a defendant in similar income tax litigation brought by the DIT. The dispute arose when the DIT asserted that SAPPL has a permanent establishment within the meaning of the Income Tax Treaty between Singapore and India and accordingly issued tax assessments for assessment years ending March 2000 through March 2005. SAPPL appealed the tax assessments, and the Indian Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) returned a mixed verdict. SAPPL filed further appeals with the ITAT. The ITAT ruled in SAPPL’s favor, finding that no income would be chargeable to tax for assessment years ending March 2000 through March 2005. The DIT appealed those decisions to the Bombay High Court and our case is pending before that court; the High Court dismissed the case for assessment years ending March 2001 through March 2004. The DIT also assessed taxes on a similar basis plus some additional issues for assessment years ending March 2005 through March 2016 and March 2018 through March 2021. Appeals for these assessment years are pending before the ITAT or the High Court, depending on the year.

If the DIT were to fully prevail on every claim against us, including SAPPL and other group companies, we could be subject to taxes, interest and penalties of approximately $25 million as of September 30, 2025. We intend to continue to aggressively defend against each of the foregoing claims. Although we do not believe that the outcome of the proceedings will result in a material impact on our business or financial condition, litigation is by its nature uncertain. We do not believe a negative outcome is more likely than not and therefore have not made any provisions or recorded any liability for the potential resolution of any of these claims.

Indian Service Tax Litigation

SAPPL's Indian subsidiary is also subject to litigation by the India Director General (Service Tax) (“DGST”), which has assessed the subsidiary for multiple years related to its alleged failure to pay service tax on marketing fees and reimbursements of expenses. Indian courts have returned verdicts favorable to the Indian subsidiary. The DGST has appealed the verdict to the Indian Supreme Court. We do not believe that an adverse outcome is probable and therefore have not made any provisions or recorded any liability for the potential resolution of any of these claims.

Litigation Relating to Routine Proceedings

We are also engaged from time to time in other routine legal and tax proceedings incidental to our business. We do not believe that any of these routine proceedings will have a material impact on the business or our financial condition.

Other

Other Tax Matters

We operate in numerous jurisdictions in which taxing authorities may challenge our position with respect to income and non-income based taxes. We routinely receive inquiries and may also from time to time receive challenges or assessments from these taxing authorities. With respect to non-income based taxes, we recognize liabilities when we determine it is probable that amounts will be owed to the taxing authorities and such amounts are estimable. For example, in most countries we pay and collect Value Added Tax (“VAT”) when procuring goods and services, or providing services, within the normal course of business. VAT receivables are established in jurisdictions where VAT paid exceeds VAT collected and are recoverable through the filing of refund claims. We intend to vigorously defend our positions against any claims that are not insignificant, including through litigation when necessary. As of September 30, 2025, we do not believe that an adverse outcome is probable and therefore have not made any provisions or recorded any liability for the potential resolution of any of these claims. We may incur expenses in future periods related to such matters, including litigation costs and possible pre-payment of a portion of any assessed tax amount to defend our position, and if our positions are ultimately rejected, it could have a material impact to our results from continuing operations.
