Share

Sabre reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $715 million, a 3% year-over-year increase driven by growth in air and hotel distribution bookings. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 25% to $141 million, while normalized adjusted EBITDA reached $150 million, up 21% from the same quarter last year.

The company posted net income of $849 million, primarily due to the sale of its hospitality technology division in Q2. Distribution revenue rose 4% to $575 million, while IT solutions revenue remained steady at $140 million. Net income from continuing operations totaled $48 million, compared to a $62 million loss in Q3 2024, reflecting lower labor costs and higher bookings.

“Our third-quarter results reflect solid execution and improving momentum across our business,” said Sabre CEO Kurt Ekert. “We’re seeing growth in quarterly air distribution bookings and are confident in our position heading into next year.”

Ekert noted that while the October government shutdown slightly impacted air bookings, Sabre still expects 6–8% year-over-year growth in Q4 distribution bookings.

The company also unveiled new APIs designed to power agentic AI solutions. Ekert described the technology as an “incredible opportunity within travel,” predicting that agentic AI could emerge as a new distribution channel comparable to the rise of online travel agencies. He emphasized that Sabre’s continued investment in AI and digital retailing will support long-term growth and value creation.
