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:

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.

•Operating expense growth was
partially driven by non-cash items.

primarily relates to revaluation
of intercompany balances as
a result of currency movements.

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).

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.
