SKO Suspends FY20 Revenue Guidance
Due to the rapidly increasing uncertainty surrounding the duration and scale of the Covid-19 outbreak,
and the impact it and the related border control restrictions are having on corporate travel, Serko
Limited (NZX/ASX:SKO), has today announced it is withdrawing its full year 2020 revenue guidance.
“On 25 February 2020, Serko advised the market that it expected to come in at the lower end of its
guidance range of achieving total operating revenue growth of between 20% and 40% for the year
ended 31 March.” Serko’s CEO, Mr Grafton said.
“The spread of the virus and subsequent increase in border access restrictions is making it difficult to
predict the impact the virus is likely to have on Serko’s year end position.
“On this basis, we think it is prudent to withdraw guidance at this time”, said Mr Grafton.
“Our priority during this period of uncertainty is to maintain Serko’s current balance sheet strength
and position. Our focus is ensuring the company continues to grow following this challenging trading
period.”
“Serko presently has a strong cash balance, following its successful capital raising undertaken late last
year, and the Executive Team and Board are optimising the business for long-term growth by carefully
managing the allocation of capital during this period.”
More information will be provided as Serko finalises its results for the year ending 31 March 2020.
