Market release

24 November 2022



Correction to 1H FY2023 investor presentation


We refer to the 1H FY2023 investor presentation lodged on 23 November 2022.


The second bullet point on slide 8 read: “Rooms booked on Booking.com for Business increased from

121,000 to 208,000.”


This contained a minor error and should have read: “Rooms booked on Booking.com for Business increased

from 157,000 for the six months to 31 March 2022 to 333,000.”


We attach an updated presentation and note that no other changes have been made to the presentation

from that released to the market yesterday.

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.

exceeded FY22 full year.

•Operating expense growth was

partially driven by non-cash items.

•The foreign exchange gain

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).

Operating Expenses
Note: A further breakdown of Operating Expenses can be found in Note 3 of the financial statements.

•Higher transaction volumes drove increased sales

and marketing, and hosting expenses, however,

these expenses fell as a percentage of revenue.

•Remuneration and benefits increased reflecting

higher staffing and higher average cost per staff

member and non-cash items such as the

employee share scheme and lower levels of

capitalisation.

•Administration expenses increased relative to the

six months to 30 September 2021 but were slightly

lower than the six months to 31 March 2022.

•Amortisationhas increased reflecting a higher

asset base and a number of recent projects being

amortisedover three years rather than five years.

•$9.5 million or 54% of the increase in operating

expense relative to the six months to 30

September 2021 related to product design and

development expenditure as investments for

growth increased. See next slide for details.

the year to 31 March 2022 are expected

to reverse in the year to 31 March 2023

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.

Q&A

SERKO •18

Appendix
SERKO •19

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 (a non-GAAP measure) is the number of hotel room nights which have been booked and the travellerhas 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

•FTE is a non-GAAP measure representing full time equivalent employees, contractors are not included within this measure.

•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

•Segment revenue (a non-GAAP measure) is Total revenue and other income before deducting consideration payable to customers.

•Travel-related revenue is a non-GAAP measure and includes travel platform booking revenue and supplier commissions revenue.

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.
