Components of Revenues and Expenses 

Revenues

We generate revenue from distribution activities through direct billable bookings processed on our GDS, adjusted for estimated cancellations of those bookings. We also generate revenue from IT solutions activities from our product offerings including reservation systems for full-service and low-cost carriers, commercial and operations products, professional services, agency solutions and booking data. Additionally, we generate revenue through software licensing and maintenance fees. Recognition of license fees upon delivery has previously resulted and will continue to result in periodic fluctuations in revenue recognized. 

Cost of revenue, excluding technology costs

Cost of revenue, excluding technology costs, consists primarily of costs associated with the delivery and distribution of our products and services and includes employee-related costs for our delivery, customer operations and call center teams as well as allocated overhead such as facilities and other support costs. Cost of revenue, excluding technology costs, also includes incentive consideration expense representing payments or other consideration to travel agencies for reservations made on our GDS which accrue on a monthly basis, amortization of upfront incentive consideration representing upfront payments or other consideration provided to travel agencies for reservations made on our GDS which are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the contract and costs such as stock-based compensation and restructuring charges (in applicable periods). Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue, excluding technology costs, is associated with capitalized implementation costs and intangible assets
