Market Release

15 November 2023



Serko’s unaudited financial results for the six months to 30 September 2023

Revenue growth and operational leverage underpin strong

financial results



SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

1,2


• Total income of $36.3m, up 87%

• Online bookings 2.5 million, up 26%

• Completed room nights on Booking.com for Business of 1.3m, up 192%

• EBITDAF loss of $0.8 million, a 96% improvement

• Net loss after tax of $7.2 million, a 64% improvement

• Average monthly cash burn of $0.6 million, an 84% improvement

• Increase to FY24 guidance for total income to $67 million - $74 million

All dollar amounts are New Zealand dollars, unless stated otherwise.


Serko Limited (NZX & ASX: SKO) today released its financial results for the six months to 30

September 2023, with total income up 87% to $36.3 million, reflecting high revenue growth across

managed and unmanaged travel.

Serko Chief Executive and Co-Founder, Darrin Grafton, said: “The first-half result reflects our focus on

maximising growth from the travel recovery, materially growing revenue under the Booking.com for

Business partnership and putting Serko on a clear path to profitability. We are executing according to

our plans and are now strengthening the depth of our capability and building a scaled and globally

competitive business.

“The first-half result also benefitted from a higher Average Revenue Per Booking, favourable foreign

exchange rates and higher-than-expected business travel volumes in Australasia.”

Higher revenue and limited cost growth in the period has led to an 84% reduction in average monthly

cash burn from $3.6m in 1H23 to $0.6 million in 1H24.

EBITDAF losses were $0.8m, down from a $16.9 million EBITDAF loss, a 96% improvement.


UNMANAGED TRAVEL

Mr Grafton said: “The results being delivered under the Booking.com partnership reflect the continued

focus of Serko and Booking.com teams and encouraging levels of customer demand.

“Completed room nights on Booking.com for Business rose 192% to 1.3 million from 454,000 in 1H23.

When compared with 2H23, completed room nights on Booking.com for Business rose 22% in 1H24.

“Active customers using the Booking.com for Business platform have continued to increase, up 61%

to approximately 176,000. Average Revenue per Completed Room Night was in line with 1H23 and up

12% on 2H23.

“During the half, content and servicing from CWT within our Zeno technology platform went live in the

Booking.com for Business offering, increasing travel options and reducing friction for businesses.

“We are now focused on implementing further scaling strategies with Booking.com alongside the

delivery of new features.”


MANAGED TRAVEL

Mr Grafton said: “Online bookings were up 14% in Australasia to two million, the result of continued

strong growth and increased market share. Rio Tinto, one of the largest corporate travel accounts in

Australia, went live on Zeno during the half via American Express Global Business Travel.

“We continue to see future growth in Australasia underpinned by high rates of customer retention.

“In North America, we are developing the market and delivering to our partners. We are executing on

our plans including taking steps to activate additional customers, increasing the depth of our

capability and undertaking targeted product development.”


OUTLOOK

Business travel demand is demonstrating resilience and Serko continues to anticipate revenue growth

over the medium to long term.

Considering the growth in the first half, and second half seasonality, Serko revises its anticipated total

income for the FY24 year upwards from $63 million - $70 million to $67 million - $74 million. Serko

affirms its total spend guidance of $86 million - $90 million for FY24 and anticipates tracking towards

the lower end of this spend range.

Serko is well capitalised with cash on hand of $84.3 million (as at 30 September 2023), declining cash

burn and no debt. Serko continues to be open to organic and inorganic investments and will consider

opportunities that would advance strategic objectives.

Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to be uncertain, which may impact future

performance, including in the short term. Factors that could impact results include currency

fluctuations, the impact of regional conflicts and changes in hotel room rates.

Serko retains its aspiration of $100 million in total income in FY25. Serko remains committed to

achieving positive cashflow for the FY25 financial year with appropriate cash reserves on hand at the

point of breakeven.

external costs related to the design, development and maintenance of Serko’s platforms, including costs

within operating expenses and amortisation. It excludes capitalised development costs.

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:

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.

Outlook
Serko27

Outlook
Considering the growth in the first half, and second half seasonality,Serko revises its anticipated

total income for the FY24 year upwards from $63 million - $70 million to $67 million - $74 million.

Serko affirms its total spend guidance of $86 million - $90 million for FY24 and anticipates

tracking towards the lower end of this spend range.

Serko is well capitalised with cash on hand of $84.3 million (as at 30 September 2023), declining

cash burn and no debt. Serko continues to be open to organic and inorganic investments and will

consider opportunities that would advance strategic objectives.

Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to be uncertain, which may impact future

performance, including in the short term. Factors that could impact results include currency

fluctuations, the impact of regional conflicts and changes in hotel room rates.

Serko retains its aspiration of $100 million in total income in FY25. Serko remains committed to

achieving positive cashflow for the FY25 financial year with appropriate cash reserves on hand at

the point of breakeven

.
