SOUTHLAKE, Texas – August 6, 2026 – Sabre Corporation ("Sabre" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Sabre delivered a strong second quarter, exceeding our expectations for both revenue and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA growth while generating positive free cash flow. Despite the impact of the conflict in the Middle East and higher fuel prices on global travel demand, we grew revenue by 4% and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA by 19% in the quarter. Since the start of the year, we believe our performance has outpaced the broader industry, reflecting disciplined execution of our strategy,” said Kurt Ekert, president and CEO.

Ekert continued, “Our first-half performance and outlook for the balance of the year support reaffirming our full-year guidance for revenue and air distribution bookings growth. Additionally, we are raising our 2026 guidance for Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. As we expand our technology platform, continue to gain share, and extend our leadership position in the emerging Agentic AI travel channel, we believe Sabre is well positioned to deliver on our objectives and create sustainable, long-term value.”

Q2 2026 Financial Summary

Second quarter revenue totaled $712 million, compared to $687 million in the second quarter of 2025.

•Marketplace revenue increased by $31 million, or 6%, to $577 million, driven by a $25 million increase in transaction-based revenue primarily due to an increase in distribution bookings and favorable rate impacts, and a $6 million increase in product-based revenue.

◦Total Marketplace bookings, net of cancellations, were 92 million, an increase of approximately 1% from second quarter 2025 levels.

◦Average booking fee totaled $6.30, an increase of approximately 4% from second quarter 2025.

•Airline Technology revenue decreased by $6 million, or 4%, to $135 million, driven primarily by a decrease in license revenue and other revenue.

Operating income totaled $93 million versus $89 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in operating income was driven by the increase in revenue described above, partially offset by an increase in incentives and other expenses.

Loss from continuing operations totaled $36 million, versus a loss of $201 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2026 is attributed to an increase in operating income described above, a decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt, and a reduction in the provision for income taxes, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net.

Loss attributable to common stockholders totaled a loss of $36 million, versus a loss of $256 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in loss attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by the decrease in loss from continuing operations described above and an increase in income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $151 million, up 19% year-on-year, an improvement versus Normalized Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $127 million in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement in Normalized Adjusted EBITDA(1) was driven by the items impacting revenue described above and a decrease in labor and professional services due to the inflation offset program, partially offset by an increase in incentive expense described above.

With regard to Sabre's second quarter 2026 cash flows (versus prior year):

•Cash provided by operating activities totaled $36 million (vs. $218 million used in)

•Cash used in investing activities totaled $26 million (vs. $23 million)

Industry Data

This release contains industry data, forecasts and other information that Sabre obtained from industry publications and surveys, public filings and internal company sources, and there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. Statements as to Sabre's ranking, market position, bookings share and market estimates are based on independent industry publications, government publications, third-party forecasts and management’s estimates and assumptions about our markets and our internal research. The Company has not independently verified this third-party information nor has it ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon in those sources, and cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of this information.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations ("Adjusted Net Income"), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted

Net Income from continuing operations per share ("Adjusted EPS"), Free Cash Flow and the ratios based on these financial measures. In addition, we provide certain forward guidance with respect to Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis and Free Cash Flow. We do not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the respective GAAP metrics as we are unable to predict the components of the non-GAAP adjustments contained in the guidance with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort; however, see "Business and Pro Forma Financial Outlook" for additional information including estimates of certain components of the non-GAAP adjustments contained in the guidance.

We present non-GAAP measures when our management believes that the additional information provides useful information about our operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for an explanation of the non-GAAP measures and “Tabular Reconciliations for Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

Discontinued Operations

On April 27, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement with an affiliate of TPG (the “Buyer”) 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 operating results of our Hospitality Solutions business are presented as discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, results presented are based on continuing operations.

Unless required by law, Sabre undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after the date they are made.

___________________

(1) Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Pro Forma Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures. See the appendix to this release for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure. Normalized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for estimated costs historically allocated to Hospitality Solutions. Pro Forma Free Cash Flow is calculated to give effect to the Hospitality Solutions Sale. Pro Forma Free Cash Flow is no longer utilized in the current period as there are no further adjustments to be made to Free Cash Flow for the sale of Hospitality Solutions. We have included Pro Forma Free Cash Flow in this release for comparability. We believe this presentation will enhance investors' ability to evaluate and compare the Company's operations on a go-forward basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included both financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as certain supplemental non‑GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Loss from continuing operations (“Adjusted Net Loss”), Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and ratios derived from these measures. The non‑GAAP financial measures are presented in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP financial measures are presented with equal or greater prominence wherever non‑GAAP financial measures are discussed.

Definitions

Adjusted Net Loss is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude acquisition‑related amortization; restructuring and other costs; loss on extinguishment of debt; other, net; disposition‑related costs; litigation costs, net; indirect tax matters; stock‑based compensation; and the related tax impacts of these adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization of property and equipment; amortization of capitalized implementation costs; acquisition‑related amortization; restructuring and other costs; interest expense, net; other, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; disposition‑related costs; litigation costs, net; indirect tax matters; stock‑based compensation; and the provision for income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are defined as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the estimated costs historically allocated to Hospitality Solutions.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Normalized Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for additions to property and equipment.

Pro Forma Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted to give effect to the Hospitality Solutions Sale.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Loss divided by diluted weighted‑average common shares outstanding.

Purpose and Use by Management

Management and the board of directors use these non‑GAAP financial measures to evaluate trends in our operating performance, assess period‑to‑period comparability, and support internal planning and decision‑making. These measures are particularly useful in evaluating operating performance because historical results have been affected by items that

management believes are not indicative of ongoing core operations. In addition, amounts derived from Adjusted EBITDA are used in connection with certain financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities.

These non‑GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of liquidity, nor do they represent cash available for discretionary use. Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash available for distribution and does not reflect all cash requirements of the business. Other companies, including those within our industry, may define or calculate similarly titled non‑GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures as comparative tools.

Limitations of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and related ratios are not recognized measures under GAAP and have inherent limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations, or cash flows from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The limitations of these non‑GAAP financial measures include, but are not limited to, the following:

•They exclude certain expenses that are recurring in nature, including stock‑based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

•Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash expenses, the assets being depreciated and amortized may require replacement in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the capital expenditures required for these replacements.

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes amortization of capitalized implementation costs related to revenue contracts, which may result in future working capital or cash requirements.

•Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements associated with, working capital.

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, principal repayments, or other cash requirements necessary to service our indebtedness.

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that could reduce cash available to us.

•Free Cash Flow reflects changes in operating assets and liabilities determined under accrual accounting and does not reflect all cash requirements, including mandatory debt service obligations.

•Other companies, including those within our industry, may define or calculate similarly titled non‑GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures as comparative tools.

Non-GAAP Pro Forma Outlook

The non-GAAP pro forma financial outlook in this press release, including Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Free Cash Flow, is not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the Company after the closing of the Hospitality Solutions Sale and utilization of the net proceeds from the sale to pay down outstanding indebtedness, or of the operating results of the Company in the future. The non-GAAP pro forma financial outlook included in this press release is not pro forma information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, and the preparation of information in accordance with Article 11 would result in a different presentation.

Investor Considerations

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non‑GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to evaluate our operating performance, financial position, and liquidity using GAAP measures in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, these non‑GAAP financial measures.
