For the fourth quarter of 2006, the company projects revenue to be
in the range of $650 million to $680 million. Diluted earnings per
share are projected to be in the range of $0.42 to $0.46 on an
adjusted basis, and $0.29 to $0.33 on a GAAP basis. Full-Year 2006
For the full-year 2006, the company projects revenue approaching $3
billion. Diluted earnings per share are projected to be greater
than $1.70 on an adjusted basis and greater than $1.12 on a GAAP
basis, though the company expects to well exceed the low end of the
projections. In addition, free cash flow is expected to be greater
than $300 million, with cash flow from operations greater than $425
million; however, the company expects to be closer to the bottom
end of these projections due to lower than projected benefit from
working capital as a result of softness in North America packaging
and Travelocity Europe sales during the second quarter and early in
the third quarter of this year. About Sabre Holdings Sabre Holdings

quarter of 2006, the company projects revenue to be in the range of
$650 million to $680 million. Diluted earnings per share are
projected to be in the range of $0.42 to $0.46 on an adjusted
basis, and $0.29 to $0.33 on a GAAP basis. Full-Year 2006 For the
full-year 2006, the company projects revenue approaching $3
billion. Diluted earnings per share are projected to be greater
than $1.70 on an adjusted basis and greater than $1.12 on a GAAP
basis, though the company expects to well exceed the low end of the
projections. In addition, free cash flow is expected to be greater
than $300 million, with cash flow from operations greater than $425
million; however, the company expects to be closer to the bottom
end of these projections due to lower than projected benefit from
working capital as a result of softness in North America packaging
and Travelocity Europe sales during the second quarter and early in
the third quarter of this year. About Sabre Holdings Sabre Holdings
