Sabre saw “steady performance and resilience throughout the first quarter” for corporate business, along with strong business overall in North America, according to CEO Kurt Ekert, speaking on a first-quarter earnings call. “Corporate has actually been very positive all year, a very strong share in the last two months included,” he said.

With the trends continuing into April, Sabre expects both year-over-year revenue and air distribution growth to be at or near flat in the second quarter, according to executives. The company continues to project revenue and air distribution growth for the full year to be in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range, with the assumption that the Middle East conflict will subside during the second quarter with fuel prices normalizing, Ekert said.

Mike Randolfi, CFO, said, “Our underlying assumption is the geopolitical and macro environment start to smooth out at some point during the second quarter.” With that, he said, “we see increased booking growth in the third quarter, more muted from our initial expectations but well above the industry.”

The company reported that lodging and other bookings increased 3% year over year in the first quarter, and airline technology revenue increased 7% to $142.3 million. Net income for the first quarter was $8.1 million, down from $35.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Sabre said the decline stemmed in part from the sale of its Hospitality Solutions business to private equity and investment firm TPG.
