Serko Limited (NZX & ASX: SKO) today released its first half 2023 financial results, which demonstrate the

benefits from the ongoing business travel recovery and its investment decisions made during the pandemic.

Serko has also seen strong growth in completed room nights under its partnership with Booking.com

following changes made during the period.

Serko Chief Executive and Co-Founder, Darrin Grafton, said: “The half-year result reflects our earlier

decisions and investments to maximise opportunities during the business travel recovery and achieve new

growth. Total income and segment revenue both increased 106%.

“Strong first-half revenue was underpinned by the recovery in Australia and New Zealand and a significant

uplift in Booking.com for Business completed room nights. Total travel booking volumes rose 73% to 2.3

million from 1.3 million and online travel bookings increased 75% to 2 million from 1.1 million.

“EBITDAF losses increased by 44% to $16.9 million from $11.8 million and net losses after tax increased by

30% to $19.7 million from $15.2 million. This is in line with our expectations and reflects planned operating

expenditure.

“Product design and development costs totalled $19.8 million during the period ($10.4 million in 1H FY22)

net of capitalisation of $5.5 million ($7.2 million in 1H FY22).

“Our cash position at the end of the half was $102.9 million. This will enable us to invest for future growth,

supported by our improving revenue position. Our net cash burn averaged $3.6 million per month for the

half year, in line with our expectations.

“In the second half, we will continue to focus on disciplined delivery to achieve our goals for FY23 and

beyond. This will include planned and focused product and development expenditure to achieve benefits in

the short and longer-term.”

MANAGED TRAVEL

Mr Grafton said: “We have seen continued strong demand and recovery for business travel in Australia and

New Zealand. We have also won new business, which will provide further revenue growth following the

completion of onboarding. In these important markets, we are focused on continuing to understand the

changing needs of our travel management partners and travel customers to enable us to deliver exceptional

products and technology.


“For the Australasian region as a whole, average volumes in the first quarter were 91% of pre-COVID 19

levels and 93% in the second quarter.


“In New Zealand, volumes at the end of September were 145% of pre-COVID levels, averaging 142% for the

half year. This was an increase from 47% of pre-COVID levels at the end of September 2021, a period

following the imposition of strict lockdowns in August 2021.


“In Australia, volumes at the end of September were 89% of pre-COVID levels, averaging 84% for the half

year. This was an increase of 32 percentage points from the average over the six months to 30 September

2021 of 52%.


“North America remains a strategic focus for Serko. As outlined at the annual meeting, the North American

market is a long-term opportunity and Serko is working closely with its key travel management partners to

grow the market.”


UNMANAGED TRAVEL

Mr Grafton said: “We have seen a strong increase in Booking.com for Business completed room nights

during the first half, assisted by the changes implemented during the period. We remain focused on

working with Booking.com to achieve continued growth in conversions and revenue. Completed room

nights increased to 454,000 from 85,000, an increase of 432%. Average Revenue per Completed Room

Night (ARPCRN) for the service was €10.10 over the half year, up from €6.61 over the six months to 30

September 2021.

“We are on track with delivery of a new hotel shop experience for Booking.com for Business customers as

communicated at the recent annual meeting. We continue to make strong progress towards our joint

objectives. Both teams are working closely together to develop the technology and insights for the success

of the partnership.

“The number of businesses registered on Booking.com for Business continued to increase during the period

to 484,000 at 30 September 2022, up from 420,000 in May 2022.”


OUTLOOK


Serko’s first half total income exceeded the full year to 31 March 2022 with a strong exit rate from the half.

Serko notes that historically second half revenue is lower than the first half.

Serko is affirming its FY23 guidance of approximately doubling FY22 revenue.

Guidance remains subject to ongoing risks including geo-political and macro-economic uncertainty and the

potential resurgence of COVID.

Serko has significant cash reserves and is tightly managing investment levels with a focus on moving

towards profitability and cashflow breakeven. It is Serko’s intention, based on current market conditions, to




3


return to a cashflow positive position during the FY25 financial year with appropriate cash reserves on hand

at the point of breakeven.

Important notes:

Non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting practices) financial measures do not have standardised meanings

prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other

entities. The Non-GAAP financial information included in this release has not been subject to review by the

auditors.


Non-GAAP measures are used by management to monitor the business and are considered useful to provide

information to investors to assess business performance. Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures can

be found in the Financial Statements and Investor Presentation.



Average Revenue Per Booking (ARPB)

is a non-GAAP measure. Serko uses this as a useful indicator of the revenue

value per travel booking. ARPB for travel-related revenue is calculated as travel-related revenue divided by the total

number of online bookings.



ARPCRN

or

Average Revenue per Completed Room Night

(a non-GAAP measure) is the supplier commissions

revenue per completed room night for revenue generating hotel transactions.



Completed room nights

is a non-GAAP measure comprising the number of hotel room nights which have been

booked and the traveller has completed the stay at the hotel.


EBITDAF

is a non-GAAP measure representing Earnings Before the deduction of costs relating to Interest, Taxation,

Depreciation, Amortisation, Foreign Currency (Gains)/Losses and Fair value measurement. See the Investor

Presentation for a reconciliation to Net loss after tax.


Operating expenses

is a non-GAAP measure comprising expenses excluding costs relating to taxation, interest,

depreciation, amortisation, finance expenses and foreign exchange gains and losses.


Product design and development costs

is a non-GAAP measure representing the internal and external costs related

to the design, development and maintenance of Serko’s platforms that are included within operating expenses or

capitalised but excludes amortisation.


Segment revenue

is a non-GAAP measure representing Total Income before it is reduced to reflect consideration

payable to customers. In the period, consideration payable to customers comprised Serko’s share of jointly agreed

marketing expenses. See note 2 of the Financial Statements for a reconciliation to Total income.


Travel related revenue

is a non-GAAP measure comprising travel platform booking revenue and supplier

commissions revenue, as set out in note 2 to the Financial Statements.


Total travel bookings

include both online and offline bookings. Offline bookings are system automated bookings.

Segment revenue

The Board and Executive team monitor the results of the Group’s operations as a whole for the purpose of making

decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and therefore the Board has determined the Group

is a single reportable operating segment. This reporting segment is predominantly made up of revenue generated from

transaction and usage fees, which includes Travel platform bookings, supplier commissions and Expense revenue.

Serko evaluates the performance of the operating segment based on revenue before consideration payable to customers.

As required by IFRS 15 Serko reduces revenue by the amount of consideration payable to customers. In the period

the consideration payable to customers comprised Serko’s share of jointly agreed marketing expenses. The marketing

expenses are not set by reference to the amount of revenue received from the customer.

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:

Contractual amounts of forward exchange contracts outstanding were as follows:

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts23,5306,6072,853

Derivative financial instruments have been determined to be within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Foreign currency

forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using published market foreign exchange rates and contract forward

rates discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of the counterparties.

9 LEASE LIABILITIES

Recognition and measurement of The Group’s leasing activities

The Group 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 The Group 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.

Encouraging increase in completed bookings

1.We expect SME business booking behaviors will be different from our enterprise customers. It is uncertain when, and how often, migrated (also referred

to as activated) customers and new sign-ups will transact, particularly during COVID-affected periods and as a result of intermittent travel needs of

SME’s. There is no guarantee that migrated/activated customers, or new sign-ups, will make bookings in the current financial period or at all.

Revenue Analysis
•Segment revenue is presented to provide

visibility of both the underlying growth in

supplier commissions and the amount

contributed to marketing the Booking.com

for Business service.

•Growth in ARPB is driven by an increased

ARPCRN for supplier commissions revenue

and an increase in the proportion of

supplier commissions revenue as a

proportion of total revenue, both driven

by Booking.comfor Business.

•The ARPCRN for Booking.comfor Business

transactions was €10.10 (€6.61 FY22H1).

Outlook
SERKO •16

•Serko’s first half total income exceeded the full year to 31 March 2022 with a strong exit rate
from the half. Serko notes that historicallysecond half revenue is lower than the first half.

•Serko is affirming its FY23 guidance of approximately doubling FY22 revenue.

•Guidance remains subject to ongoing risks including geo-political and macro-economic

uncertainty and the potential resurgence of COVID.

•Serko has significant cash reserves and is tightly managing investment levels with a focus on

moving towards profitability and cashflow breakeven. It is Serko’s intention, based on current

market conditions, to return to a cashflow positive position during the FY25 financial year with

appropriate cash reserves on hand at the point of breakeven.

Non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting practices) financial measures do not have standardised meanings prescribed by GAAP and therefore may

not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities. Non-GAAP measures are used by management to monitor the business

and are considered useful to provide information to investors to assess business performance. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP

measures can be found within the Financial Statements and this Investor Presentation.
