Amadeus IT Holding has reported adjusted profit excluding acquisition costs increased 9.6 per cent to €612 million in the nine months to September 30th.
This was driven by an increase in revenue of 14.7 per cent, to €2,965 million, and EBITDA excluding acquisition costs growth of 10.6 per cent, to €1,150 million.
Amadeus president Luis Maroto commented: "Our focus on delivering revenue-generating technology to our partners has improved our competitive position in the market, supporting growth in both revenues and profit.
"Asia-Pacific and North America growth resulted in a significant 1.9 p.p. enhancement of our competitive position in air travel agency bookings, driving strong revenue growth of 12.1 per cent in distribution; while IT Solutions delivered a 21.3 per cent revenue increase, supported by the full year effect of migrations – many of which were in Asia-Pacific, where other airlines are still to migrate.
"Our strong financial performance has allowed us to continue investing in key areas and during the quarter we announced our intention to acquire Navitaire, which is currently subject to regulatory approval. Additionally we acquired two companies in the Hotel IT sector, the Netherlands-based Itesso BV and US-based Hotel SystemsPro, which support our strategy.
"These additions form part of our long-term Hotel IT vision of combining multiple systems into a cloud-based platform focused on improving the guest experience.
"I am proud to say that our commitment to shaping the future of travel was recently recognised by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices through our inclusion for a noteworthy fourth consecutive year.
"We look forward with confidence to the completion of the full year."
Consolidated net financial debt stood at €1,693 million at September 30th, 2015, representing 1.20x the ratio of covenant net debt to the last twelve months' covenant EBITDA.
An appreciation of the US dollar versus the Euro compared to 2014 contributed a positive foreign exchange impact on the revenue and EBITDA of Amadeus during the first nine months of 2015; conversely, the same impact reduced the EBITDA margin.

Brand USA has announced it is introducing VisitTheUSA.com as its new global consumer website address to reach international travellers.
Brand USA's current consumer website address, DiscoverAmerica.com, will continue to be live in the market place.
The new URL is being introduced over the course of Brand USA's 2016 fiscal year in all markets where the organisation currently promotes travel to the United States, with the exception of China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, and Taiwan.
In those markets, Brand USA's online consumer presence is promoted to travellers as GoUSA.com, because consumer testing indicated the GoUSA address resonated more clearly with travellers in those markets.
Brand USA's business-to-business and corporate URL address will continue to be found at TheBrandUSA.com.
"We expect to complete the introduction to VisitTheUSA over the course of several months through a purposeful, soft launch that enables us to fully test and optimise the site as we also begin work to enhance the content and functionality of our consumer website and evolve our consumer marketing campaigns," said Christopher Thompson, Brand USA president.
Thompson cited several reasons for introducing a new website URL as its core online presence, including its strong alignment with its mission to welcome and increase the number of travellers who visit the United States, as well as the fact that "America" is more than just the USA.
"In many parts of the world, we found that international travellers felt our use of 'America' in our current consumer website address was overreaching, because America is comprised of more than just the United States.
"While 'America' resonates strongly in many parts of the world, in others the Americas refers to one continent comprised of North, Central, and South America," Thompson said.
"And those three subcontinents include 35 different countries."
Brand USA noted that the soft launch introduction of VisitTheUSA as an additional way to market travel to the United States is also timed well with several marketing opportunities, including the organisation's new mission and vision, which emphasise its core purpose of increasing international visitation to the United States and the development of new content and new digital marketing activations.
As Brand USA begins to introduce new content and creative in the marketplace, it will slowly begin to highlight and promote the new website address to consumers, with visitors to DiscoverAmerica.com seamlessly redirected to the new address.
Now in its fifth year of operation, Brand USA continues to increase international travel to the United States, while enhancing the image of the US as a premier travel destination in the global marketplace.

Amadeus on Friday was largely silent on whether Lufthansa's Sept. 1 introduction of a surcharge on GDS bookings had impacted the number of bookings made on the airline.
During the company's third-quarter earnings call, CFO Ana de Pro declined comment.
"We are not going to disclose any number related to any individual customer, and therefore, we are not going to give bookings or specific revenues regarding the Lufthansa situation," she said.
De Pro did indicate that Lufthansa's surcharge didn't have a material effect on financial results. In the quarter, distribution revenue increased 14%, to €672.5 million, and information technology solutions grew 19.5% to €315.6 million.
"Our focus on delivering revenue-generating technology to our partners has improved our competitive position in the market, supporting growth in both revenues and profit," CEO Luis Maroto said.
Airline bookings were up in all regions with the exception of the Middle East and Africa, where there was a 1% decline that Maroto attributed to geopolitical reasons.
Maroto noted the growth of airlines offering ancillaries through the GDS. Currently, 129 airlines have signed up for Amadeus Airline Ancillary Services, which allows ancillary distribution in almost all markets around the world. Additionally, several airlines have signed up for Amadeus Fare Families.
"The GDSs are playing a key role in promoting these ancillary services," Maroto said.
In the third quarter, Amadeus agreed to acquire travel technology company Navitaire. The deal is pending European Union approval.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car has launched a new website in the UK as part of a phased roll-out of digital enhancements across its European operations that began in August with the launch of a mobile booking app.
The new sites, which are also live in France, Spain, Germany and Ireland, are designed to enrich the customer experience and increase transparency in the booking process.
The websites have been carefully designed to provide renters with increased clarity of pricing and booking terms, as well as faster access to information and a simplified reservation process.
They are the latest step in Enterprise Rent-A-Car's efforts to improve transparency for customers booking directly online.
With just a few clicks renters can select the desired pick up location and vehicle, choose optional items such as GPS and child seats, and then view the daily rate they will be charged.
Key facts about the rental are easily available on the booking page and are also emailed to the customer once the booking is confirmed.
In the coming months Enterprise will enhance the sites in order to increase functionality, accessibility and transparency.
Jim Stoeppler, vice president, European brand marketing at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, said: "Our new European websites are designed to empower consumers with a simpler booking process as well as much more information on the key facts of the rental.
"Every aspect is clearly marked and presented in a consumer friendly format.
"We will continue to improve this in order to increase transparency and ease of use.
"We want to provide customers with clear information so that they can make a better choice when they are booking online."
During the past three years, Enterprise has engaged with governments and consumer rights groups in several countries to promote a more transparent online booking practices and "drive-away pricing" on websites.
In addition to facilitating a clearer, faster and simpler booking process, the site has been designed to enable content to be quickly and easily updated in order to improve customer communication.
As well as practical rental and vehicle information, the site includes a series of travel articles and features which highlight the many little known treasures and undiscovered pleasures of the road trip.

Celebrating the UN’s 70th Anniversary

Imagine a brand ambassador with no nationality, no race or gender, no carbon footprint, and who does not speak – yet can express approval, pleasure, surprise, joy, indeed just about every human emotion you can imagine. That's exactly what the renowned French artist Yak created for the United Nations to help the Organization celebrate its 70th birthday year of 2015.
Elyx is the UN's first digital ambassador, and this year he went on a virtual journey around the world in 70 days to shed light on the work of the United Nations in the field. UN agencies and other bodies were asked to get creative and show Elyx interacting with different areas of their work, and share the results via social media.
The result is a wonderful montage depicting the truly diverse and global efforts being undertaken by the UN family to improve the lives of people all over the world. You can track Elyx's travels by visiting www.elyx70days.org/, and on these pages you can see where we took Elyx when he popped in to IMO.

Leading ski operator, Powder White, has launched a new online booking platform, called SkiStay, which offers potential customers the world's largest pool of ski-dedicated unpackaged hotel, chalet and apartment options.
Unlike other tour operators, Powder White's SkiStay provides unpackaged ski-dedicated accommodation options with live prices and availability.
This means browsers can view real-time prices and availability of ski accommodation across 46 resorts worldwide.
The launch of SkiStay evolves Powder White from a European operator into a truly global one.
While Powder White will continue its successful operation in the French, Austrian and Swiss Alps, the operator will expand its portfolio into new markets including Italy, USA and Canada.
What makes SkiStay truly unique is that it is the only online booking platform dedicated entirely to the ski industry.
Customers booking through SkiStay have the reassurance that all accommodation is entirely suited for skiing holiday having been individually selected by Powder White experts.
SkiStay will also allow for passes and ski hire to be arranged during the easy booking process.
Fraser Ewart-White, Powder White co-founder said: "We identified a gap in the market; previously there was no dedicated booking engine for ski accommodation, with the ability to pre-book ski extras.
"SkiStay is a natural step in the evolution of flexible ski holidays and will further enhance Powder White's tailor-made offering.
"Consumers will no longer have to spend hours searching the internet for their perfect ski trip."
A select group of hoteliers will be listed on SkiStay, with the incentive of competitive commission rates for bookings made through the platform.
SkiStay is the latest chapter in the story of Powder White's on-going growth.
The new booking platform broadens Powder White's offering out to territories previously untapped by the operator.
SkiStay is expected to help increase Powder White's annual turnover from £7-20 million over the next three years.
