Market Release
18 November 2020
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.

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

75% of pre-Covidactivity.
We are hopeful Australia will follow a similar pattern as interstate
restrictions are progressivelylifted.
ZENO ACCELERATION

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.
