UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

Serko investing for a recovery in global business travel markets



SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD

• Total operating revenue

1

of $5.1 million for the six-month period was 66% lower than the

same period in the prior year of $14.7 million following COVID-19 pandemic travel disruptions.

• Recurring product revenues

1

for the period were $4.6 million compared to $13.3 million in the

prior period.

• Half-year total travel booking

1

volumes for the period were down 77%, being 23% of the

volumes in the same period a year ago, but have since risen to 35% for October (New

Zealand at 76% and Australia at 26%).

• The percentage of transactions occurring on our premium platform Zeno continues to

increase, representing around 38% of online transactions in September, up from 25% of

online transactions at the end of March 2020.

• Half-year total income

1

was $8.5 million, down from the prior year’s $15.2 million.

• Net loss after tax for the period was $10.1 million compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the

prior period due to lower revenues and Serko investing in expansion into Northern

Hemisphere markets ahead of an anticipated travel market recovery.

• EBITDAF

1

for the period was a loss of $6.7 million compared to a profit of $1.4 million in the

prior period reflecting reductions in transactions and investment in Northern Hemisphere

expansion.

• Net cash burn averaged $1.8 million per month for the six-month period, within the $2 million

COVID-19 cost saving cap set by the Company, as previously announced to the market.

• Cash balances as at 30 September were $31.5 million. Following the recent capital raising,

Serko presently has over $90 million of cash on hand, positioning Serko well for an anticipated

travel market recovery.


Serko Limited (NZX/ASX:SKO), a leader in online travel booking and expense management for the

business travel market, today reports financial results for the six months to 30 September 2020.

Serko also reiterated its plans to move more quickly on the opportunities arising from the changing travel

market. Last month’s successful capital raising, which saw the Company raise $67.5 million of gross

proceeds, has positioned Serko to build to the future of the business travel industry.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Total revenue for the six-month period was $5.1 million compared to the estimated range of $4.5 million

to $5.0 million stated in the capital raising documentation. The result was down 66% from the $14.7

million in the same period a year ago. This was primarily due to the impact of travel restrictions on the

Company’s core Australasian travel transaction volumes.

Travel platform revenue was down 77% and content commissions were down 75%. Total travel booking

transactions for the period fell to 0.5 million from 2.2 million in the same period a year ago, down 77%.

Expense platform revenue was less affected than travel related revenue, down 33% compared to the

prior period.

Total recurring product revenues reduced to $4.6 million from $13.3 million in the same period last year.

Total income, which includes $3.0 million of government COVID-19 related assistance and $0.4 million

of other grant income, was $8.5 million compared to guidance of $8.0 million to $8.5 million. Total income

posted in the same period in the prior financial year was $15.2 million.

Half year net losses increased to $10.1 million from a net loss of $0.9 million in the same period last

financial year reflecting the weaker revenue arising as a result of COVID-19 and the Company investing

in the opportunities arising from the changing business travel market. EBITDAF losses were accordingly

$6.7 million down from a gain of $1.4 million at the same period a year ago.

In the six months to the end of September, in line with guidance, the company burned an average $1.8

million per month of its cash reserves. This spend was focussed on measures to maintain capacity and

invest for an eventual recovery despite the prevailing low revenue environment. Serko ended the six-

month period with cash balances of $31.5 million. This figure was lifted by approximately $65 million in

new capital (net of issue expenses) following a successful capital raise. Serko has a forecast cash

balance of over $90 million at the end of November 2020.

Serko Chair Claudia Batten said: “As we signalled last month, the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping all

parts of the business travel industry, from the suppliers of business travel content and services through

to the needs of the business traveller.

“Amid this disruption our Travel Management Company (TMC) resellers and partners recognise the

pivotal role Serko’s solutions and relationships can play in managing the disruption and preparing for

the recovery. Many have requested accelerated timetables to onboard new customers, deliver new

features and expand existing partnerships, while many others are considering or are planning to follow

suit.

“The capital recently raised, combined with our existing cash balances, position us well to scale-up to

meet this demand and execute on our strategic priorities, positioning Serko for growth when business

travel normalises,” Ms Batten said.

Serko Chief Executive Darrin Grafton said: “We consider that Serko’s prospects within the travel industry

remain significant over the medium to long-term, notwithstanding the currently known impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic, and we remain confident in the recovery of travel over time. We are committed to

supporting our partners through this period of change and accelerating our drive to transform business

travel and expense management globally.

Mr Grafton said “Serko’s strategic priorities for the coming year include:

• accelerating the development of, and globally scaling up, Zeno;

• supporting the increased demand for customer and reseller onboarding to drive volume across

all markets, particularly in Europe and North America;

• expanding the breadth and depth of content channels across all markets, responding to new

and changing business traveller needs; and

• enhancing the customer experience and functionality for changing market requirements.

“Through our capital raising, our shareholders have backed Serko to execute on this plan. We have now

begun to plot a detailed course and are well advanced in hiring the software engineers to deliver on


3

these goals. In addition, we are growing our support functions to meet the needs of a growing global

operation. It is very early days, but we are excited by the task ahead of us and the potential rewards.

“We will consider small acquisitions and/or investments to assist Serko to accelerate execution of these

strategic priorities, where it makes sense to do so,” Mr Grafton said.

MARKET PERFORMANCE

Mr Grafton said: “The performance of the business for the half year period was in line with the guidance

given at the time of the capital raising.”

Australasia

Australasian booking volumes reached their low point in April, at just 9% of the same month in the prior

year and have been volatile amid the lifting and then the reimposition of travel restrictions on both sides

of the Tasman. Booking volumes for the six month period were 23% of the prior year volumes and 33%

for the month of September.

Australasian travel booking volumes have further improved to 35% for October 2020 of the prior year

volumes. New Zealand TMC resellers volumes were 76% of the prior period benefitting from the lifting

of domestic travel restrictions, while Australia is at 26% of the prior period with travel restrictions still in

place. As travel restrictions progressively ease, the anticipated recovery of internal, domestic travel,

particularly in Australia, is expected to be the principal driver of transaction volumes and revenues

returning to more normalised levels. In the 2020 financial year, domestic travel in both Australia and

New Zealand accounted for approximately 93% of Serko’s booking revenue. Trans-Tasman and

international travel account for the remainder of booking revenue.

Notwithstanding the disruptions to key markets, we are pleased with the overall trends in the business.

Notably, the percentage of transactions occurring on our premium platform Zeno continue to increase,

representing around 38% of online transactions in September, up from 25% of online transactions at the

end of March 2020.

Meanwhile, we continue to onboard new customers from our TMC resellers (including Flight Centre &

Orbit). The number of corporates transacting in October 2020 were over 4,000, up from the lows of

1,725 transacting in April 2020. Prior to COVID-19, over 6,800 corporates were transacting on Serko’s

platform.

North America

Travel within North America remains very subdued as a result of the pandemic, however, the North

American market provides a significant growth opportunity over time. Serko continues to invest in the

Zeno platform for expansion within North America, expanding its reseller base in anticipation of a

resumption of travel.

Key achievements in the half year include tailored North American content and integrations for resellers;

a Zeno Expense reseller partnership with the buying group Omnia Partners; and the addition of four new

TMC resellers over the half year period, bringing the total to nine resellers. Serko is now in the process

of activating these new partners.

As signalled in October the Company is also in the process of negotiating a large direct contract with a

US Fortune 500 company

There is no guarantee these negotiations will result in a signed agreement.

Booking.Com

Serko’s partnership with Booking.com continues to offer growth opportunities for Serko, particularly

among small and medium sized businesses. Notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential

large-scale roll-out gives Serko the opportunity to access to a much larger addressable market as travel

activity recovers over time.

The new Booking.com for Business platform powered by Zeno went live in May 2020, with pilot programs

implemented across the United Kingdom and Ireland. A pilot was also launched in Germany in early

September 2020.

It is expected that new customers wishing to set-up a business account on the Booking.com website will

be directed to the new Booking.com for Business platform powered by Zeno in select Northern

Hemisphere markets imminently.

It is expected that customers will be able to progressively sign-up to the Booking.com for Business

platform powered by Zeno as the product is made available in additional markets.

Serko and Booking.com continue to have a collaborative partnership, with both parties working to bring

a best-in-class business travel tool to customers globally. Serko is progressively scaling-up to achieve

this.

OUTLOOK

Ms Batten said: “Serko’s outlook was unchanged from that stated in the October 2020 capital raising

documents.

“We are well positioned for growth as business travel recovers. The profile and timing of that recovery,

however, remains uncertain. As a result, we are unable to forecast our likely operating revenue for the

2021 financial year with any certainty,” Ms Batten said.

“Serko continues to assume in its forecasts that travel volumes will be in the range of 40-70% of pre-

COVID levels by March 2021. The extent of travel restrictions in place within Australia and New Zealand

will be determinative of where, within this range, actual travel volumes fall.

“Serko continues to target an average monthly cash consumption of between $2 million and $4 million

during the remainder of FY21 and through to FY22. We continue to invest in growing our global footprint,

managing investment based on travel resumption and achievement of key performance metrics

(including the Booking.com opportunity and NORAM customer onboarding).”

EXECUTIVE UPDATE

Mr Grafton said: “I also announce today that Chief Financial Officer, Susan Putt, has signalled her

intention to transition out of the Company no later than the end of May 2021.

“We will shortly commence a comprehensive search for a successor and will utilise her notice period to

ensure an orderly succession plan.

“Susan has played a critical role in the business over the last four years of Serko. She feels it is time to

open a new chapter of her career and we are sorry to see her go but wish her well.

“I sincerely thank Susan for the guidance and contribution she has brought to me and Serko over her

time with us,” Mr Grafton said.

ACCELERATING TO EXECUTE ON THE OPPORTUNITIES
OF A CHANGING BUSINESS TRAVEL MARKET

The COVID-19 pandemic is a rare

event that is reshaping parts of the

business travel industry, impacting

both the suppliers of business travel

content and services and the needs

of the business traveller.

Serko’s recent $67.5 million capital

raise ($65 million net of advisor

fees) was completed to prepare for

growth opportunities arising from

changes to the travel industry.

Serko’s priority is to ensure it has the

resource and capacity to execute on

its strategic priorities, positioning the

company for growth when business

travel normalises.

AUSTRALASIA MARKET
UPDATE

DOMESTIC FOCUS

Approximately 93% of Serko’s revenues come from domestic bookings

in Australia and New Zealand which are not reliant on the re-opening

of International borders.

RETURN TO TRAVEL

Lifting of travel restrictions in New Zealand saw a rapid return to over

75% of pre-Covidactivity.

We are hopeful Australia will follow a similar pattern as interstate

restrictions are progressivelylifted.

ZENO ACCELERATION

The percentage of transactions occurring on Zeno product were 38%

of total transactions for September 2020, up from 25% of total

transactions at the end of March 2020.

Outlook Statement

FY21 OUTLOOK
•Serko is well positionedforgrowthwhentrading conditionsimproveand the business travel industry starts to recover.

•Timing,however,remains uncertain.As a result, we are unable to forecast our likely operating revenue for the 2021 financial

year with any certainty.

•Serko continues to assume in its forecasts that travel volumes will be in the range of 40-70% of pre-COVID levels by March

2021(based on the trends noted on Slide 9). The extent of travel restrictions in place within Australia and New Zealand will be

determinative of where, within this range, actual travel volumes fall.

•As at 30 September 2020,Serko had net cash and cash equivalents of $31.5million.Following the recent capital raising, Serko

presently has over $90 million of cash on hand, positioning Serko well for an anticipated travel market recovery.

•Serko is targeting an average monthly cash burn of between $2 million and $4 million during the remainder of FY21 and

through to FY22, dependent on travel resumption and achievement of key performance metrics (including the Booking.com

opportunity and NORAM customer onboarding).

•Peak ATMR (AnnualisedTransactional Monthly Revenue) is a non-GAAP measure. Serko uses this as an indicator of recurring revenues from Serko products. It is
calculated by annualisingthe combination travel and expense platform monthly revenues for the most recent non-seasonal month. The travel platform revenue is

annualisedby taking the monthly online booking transactions divided by the number of weekdays for that month multiplied by the average ARPB and multiplied by 260

days.The expense platform revenue is based on the monthly revenue from active users multiplied by 12 months.The impacts COVID-19 is having on the current

operating environment means ATMR is a less reliable indicator of future growth potential than it was pre-COVID.

•ARPB (Average Revenue Per Booking) is a non-GAAP measure.Serko uses this as a useful indicator of the revenue value per travel booking.It is calculated by taking

total Recurring Product Revenue divided by the total number of bookings.

•Recurring product revenue (a non-GAAP measure) is the recurring revenue derived from transactions and usage of Serko products bycontracted customers. It excludes

revenues from customisedsoftware development (services revenue).

•R&D (Research & Development) costs is a non-GAAP measure representing the internal and external costs related to R&D both expensed and capitalised.

•Operating Costs is a non-GAAP measure which excludes costs relating to taxation, interest, depreciation, and amortisationcharges.

•EBITDAF is a non-GAAP measure representing Earnings Before the deduction of costs relating to Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortisationand Fair value

remeasurement of contingent consideration.

•FTE = Full time equivalent employee.

5 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivatives in the form of forward exchange contracts (FECs) to reduce the risk that movements in the exchange rate

will affect the Group’s New Zealand dollar cash flows. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the

date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial

assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

The following table presents the Group’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts measured at fair value:

9 LEASE LIABILITIES

Recognition and measurement of Serko leasing activities

Serko leases property for fixed periods of between one and six years and some include extension options. These extension options

are usually at the discretion of Serko and are included in the measurement of the lease asset if management intends to exercise the

extension.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are

discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds

necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

The amortisation of the discount applied on recognition of the lease liability is recognised as interest expense in the income

statement.

Key movements relating to lease balances are presented below.
