SAMPLE Industry Profile - Objective & Key Questions Objective Provide a detailed understanding of the current corporate travel industry as well as the forces shaping future travel services. The results of this profile will shape Comerica’s travel Sourcing Strategy. Key Questions How big is the industry? Who are the major players? How competitive is the market? What are the key cost drivers? Is the industry in a state of growth or decline? What are the current pricing trends? Page: 9

SAMPLE Travel Scope The travel industry encompasses a variety of different categories each grouped with an NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code. In Scope NAICS 481 – Transportation by Air Key Points 4811 – Scheduled Air Transportation 481111 – Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation NAICS 721 – Accommodation 7211 – Traveler Accommodation 721110 – Hotels and Motels 721110.1 Guestroom Rental NAICS 5321 – Automotive Equipment Rental 53211 – Passenger Car Rental and Leasing 532111 – Passenger Car Rental (for business travel) NAICS 561 – Administrative and Support Services 5615 – Travel Arrangement and Reservation Services 561510 – Travel Agencies (including Meetings & Events) Source: http://www.bls.gov Page: 10 Scheduled passenger air transportation, hotel, passenger car rentals and meeting/event planning services are in scope for travel sourcing. Because of the existing relationship with current travel agency and the subsequent process standardization, it does not make sense to fully source the travel agency component of travel at this time. However, there may be components of the contract to reevaluate. Meeting/Event Planning Services are categorized under the same NAICS code as Travel Agencies.

AIRLINE INDUSTRY – US Airline Mergers In 2000, 10 airlines accounted for slightly more than 90% of available seat-mile capacity in the United States. By early 2012, those 10 airlines, through mergers, were reduced to 5 airlines controlling about 85% of the domestic passenger market. Moreover, American and US Airways is currently merging —which would further reduce the number of airlines controlling the vast majority of passenger ridership to only four.

For 2014, Airline Industry revenue forecasts to reach 746 Billion. Over the five years to 2018, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 3.6% to 848.2 billion US Airline Industry revenue is expected to continue flying upward over the five years to 2019, increasing at an annualized rate of 1.5% to 153.6 billion. Major operators such as American Airlines, Delta and United Continental will reap synergies from their recent mergers, leading to higher profit margins. However, profit margins will still depend on volatile fuel prices and the airlines’ ability to successfully hedge against any adverse movements. New fuelefficient aircraft will aid this cause and increase operator competitiveness in the global market. U.S. scheduled passenger airlines reported a net profit of 12.7 billion in 2013, up from a profit of 98 million in 2012 Business travel represents 35% of airline’s revenue Federal taxes constitute 61 – or 20% – of the price of a typical 300 domestic one-stop round-trip ticket In 2012, U.S. airlines carried 16% more passengers and cargo than in 2000, while using two billion fewer gallons of fuel From 2000-2013, U.S. airlines reduced the flight cancellation rate sharply from 3.30% to 1.51%

Airline Industry: PPI (Producer Price Index) – Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation The PPI (measures average change in prices over time) for passenger air transportation. For 2012 the average amounted to 285.0 which represents a gain of 9.5% from 2011, but for 2014 the average is trending slightly upward. 300 285.1 283.1 286 273.5 Producer Price Index 280 257.1 260 240 229.6 254.6 235.9 234.5 217.1 220 200.6 200.4 205.7 205.8 200 186.5 180 00 20 NAICS 481111 01 20 02 20 03 20 04 20 05 20 06 20 All indexes are subject to revision four months after original publication.

SAMPLE Airline Industry: Cost Drivers Top 3 Drivers Account For 64.3% of Total Airline Costs. Key Points 2013 Cost Drivers The top three cost drivers for ninety five percent of the world’s airlines, are: fuel, personnel and the cost of aircraft, which together account for an average of 64.3% of an airline’s total cost structure. Dependence on oil production, labor agreements and a duopoly in aircraft manufacturing prevent airlines from having any substantive impact on these cost drivers. With revenues fixed by competitive ticket pricing and the majority of their costs out of their control, airlines are challenged to maintain earnings and gain competitive advantage by controlling less than 35% of their cost structure.

For 2013 jet fuel prices averaging 124.60 per barrel. Current 2014 price is 120.60 per barrel or 8.4% from last year this time. Impact on 2013 fuel bill: -4 Billion (global airline industry) From 1978-2012, U.S. airlines improved fuel efficiency approximately 120%

Airline Industry: Air Travel Price Index SAMPLE The cost of air travel have been very volatile over the past several years.

Sources: Bureau of Transportation Statistics, AMEX 2013 Forecast, CWT 2014 Travel Price Forecast, Airlines for America: www.airlines.org Page: 16 The cost of airfare flying out of Tampa, FL has been lower than the U.S. average. Airfares will be nearly flat in Canada and the United States next year, driven by a highly consolidated and fiercely competitive landscape, stable projected oil prices, and potential reduction in demand from the U.S. government, driven by its sequestration efforts. Airlines found several ways to grow revenue without raising fares – a la carte pricing: from charging for select coach seat assignments, boarding after elite status members, baggage fees and fuel surcharges and possibly using restrooms! In 2011, US airlines posted the lowest annual rate of mishandled baggage ever recorded. 2013 ancillary revenue reached over 42 billion this year, up from 36.1 billion in 2013. Ancillaries will account for 6% of total airline revenue in 2013, up from 5.4% last year.

US Hotel Industry – Competitive Landscape Key Findings Level Concentration in this industry is Medium In 2014, the four largest operators in the industry (Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, InterContinental Hotels Group and Starwood Hotels and Resorts) account for an estimated 41.0% of industry revenue It is increasing as hotel buyouts and mergers become more frequent and operators join franchise and chain operators. Level & Trend Competition in this industry is High and the trend is Increasing At most price points, hotels look to attract travelers by offering competitive prices with a range and quality of service to maximize client satisfaction, while minimizing room vacancy rates. Room discounting increases during difficult economic periods, with fewer discounts offered in boom times. Barriers to Entry in this industry are Medium and Steady The start-up costs and market share concentration vary between industry segments, particularly for the international standard five-star properties compared with three-star motels. Globalization in this industry is Medium and the trend is Increasing Most operators in this industry are US-owned and earn most of their sales from domestic activity.

SAMPLE Car Rental Industry: Market Share The U.S. car rental market is highly consolidated among a small number of major players and is getting smaller. Key Points Top 3 Car Rental Companies By Revenue After Hertz’s purchase of Dollar Thrifty, the top three rental car companies will make up 95% of the total on-airport US car rental industry revenues Suppliers offer different brands that focus on specialized markets: Corporate Traveler – On-airport convenience – Hertz, Avis and National Leisure Market – On/Off-airport Budget, Dollar Thrifty, and Enterprise Additional Non-US regional players include: Europcar (Europe and Asia Pacific) Sixt (Germany and EMEA) In high risk countries such as India, China, Thailand, Latin America, etc. the business model is to rent a car with driver. Cost is less than a chauffer / limo as a typical rental vehicle is used Car rental companies have implemented a variety of new ancillary fees to help preserve some of the lost revenue in recent times, such as tacking on fees to extend a reservation, eliminating 60 minute grace period, or increasing the cost of a two-day rental “Virtual rental technology” – enables customers to reserve, rent, access and return cars just about anywhere. ZipCar, WeCar, Connect. It is forecasted that that base rates will increase on average between 0% to 2% for business travel rental cars in the U.S. for 2014. This is big news since US suppliers haven’t been able to increase rates, even slightly. This is due to increasing fleet costs for car rental providers, as their used vehicles sell for less than in recent years as consumers shift toward buying more new and fewer used vehicles. Even so, the highly consolidated market will retain strong competition among suppliers in 2014.

Car Rental Industry: Cost Drivers SAMPLE Over 78% of costs in the car rental industry is distributed among four categories: (1) Purchases, (2) Other, (3) Depreciation, and (4) Wages. Operating Cost Drivers Key Findings The industry have slowly recovered as the demand for air travel, which is the industry’s primary revenue source, started to increase as of 2010. The industry’s solid recovery is expected to continue over the next five years. Demand is expected to increase as domestic travel rates continue to grow, bolstered by the US economy’s recovery. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized rate of 3.0% over the five years to 2019 to 42.2 billion. Corporate profit is currently at an all-time high, growing an impressive 9.2% per year on average over the five years to 2014 Over the past five years, many industry operators have continued to expand into off-airport markets, providing additional avenues for growth. Car rental operators have learned from the recession and have sought to diversify their revenue streams, so as to mitigate exposure to any one segment of the economy. Car sharing has continued to emerge over the past five years as both traditional car rental companies and new players seek to gain market share in this new segment of the industry. Each of the major car rental companies now has a car sharing division. Source: www.ibisworld.com, Auto Rental News Page: 32

US Car Rental Industry – Competitive Landscape Key Findings This industry is Mature New technologies, such as online reservations, provide advantages like reduced customer acquisition costs. But these advantages flow on to existing companies and do not produce new entrants or new markets. Some companies are expanding into local markets with programs like car sharing. Basis for Competition: High and the trend is increasing All companies in this industry compete primarily on price and customer service. Companies also compete through branding and market segmentation. Strategic alliances with airlines and hotels can produce a competitive edge. External competition stems from other modes of travel including taxis, limousines and public transport. Barriers to Entry in this industry are Medium and Steady Rental fleet investment is a significant monetary outlay. Potential new entrants would have difficulty establishing a brand identity because the current brands are heavily entrenched. Globalization in this industry is Low and the trend is Steady All major car rental companies in the United States are domestically owned; however, US car rental companies operate globally either through direct ownership or through license and franchise agreements.

SAMPLE Negotiations Approach – Discussion Points Based on a review of Company’s current program, contract terms, and stakeholder requirements, the following improvement areas have been identified to maximize the annual incentive rebate. Negotiation Point Description Supplier Pricing, Incentive Rebate Structure Size down the gap between rebate tiers to reduce the risk associated with dropping to a lower tier. Closing the gap between tiers will inset Company to drive more spend to Amex. Ensure incentive BPS earned at each tier are best in class for domestic and nondomestic spend. ABC Pricing, Signing Bonus Reduce/eliminate minimum signing bonus *NACV thresholds (claw back clause) to avoid refunding any portion of the 1M signing bonus paid to Company in 2008. Take a position which suggest Company is doing Amex a favor by offering them other potential business. ABC should fight to keep this business considering transition cost will be minimal for them, thus their margin will not be adversely be effected. ABC Pricing, Performance Bonus Establish a realistic performance target based on the post spin *NACV, the current (pre spin) performance target is too aggressive. Maximize the annual performance bonus. ABC Pricing, Deductions Minimize consulting assessment expenses (hourly rate) and Membership Reward (MR) fees which are deducted directly from the incentive rebate. Negotiate an annual credit which can be applied to consulting and MR expenses. ABC Pricing, High ROC Transactions Reduce the 50 BSP reduction on P-card transactions 10K (Hi-ROC volume). Negotiate a buffer which can be applied to the Hi-ROC volume, i.e. request that the BSP penalty apply only to Hi-ROC volume which exceeds a specified amount. ABC *NACV – Net Annual Charge Volume (i.e. annual spend with Amex) Page: 49
