FY22 Full Year Results Announcement

AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022

Serko Limited (NZX & ASX: SKO), a leader in travel and expense management for business, today announces results for the year to 31 March 2022, showing the company benefiting from an ongoing recovery in international travel markets and the advancement of its partnership with global travel giant Booking.com.

Summary Financial Results:

• Total income (revenue and other income) increased 12% to $18.9 million
• Segment revenue1 was $19.8 million, a 17% increase on the prior year and above the midpoint of our revenue guidance of $18.5 million and $20.5 million
• Online travel booking volumes rose 67% to 2.15 million, boosted by the easing of COVID travel restrictions and new Booking.com for Business transactions
• Booking.com for Business added an additional 54,000 new registered companies, taking the total to more than 420,000 net new registered companies, while room booking volumes grew to 39,000 in March 2022
• Average revenue per booking (ARPB) for travel-related revenue increased during the year by 8% to $5.80, driven primarily by the strong average revenue per completed room booking of over $20 for Booking.com for Business.
• Net losses after tax increased by 22% to $36.0 million reflecting investment to develop the significant opportunities Serko sees in international markets. EBITDAF2 losses increased 26% to $28.1 million from $22.3 million
• Average monthly cash burn for the 6 months to 31 March 2022 was $3.0 million, lower than our guidance of close to $4 million, partly reflecting additional non-recurring payments from customers.
• Cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2022 were $124.5 million, lifted by the $83.3 million capital raising ($80.1 million net of costs) undertaken towards the end of 2021
• Serko expects revenue to approximately double from the prior year and plans to increase our rate of investment into our products and markets in line with revenue projections.

All dollar amounts are New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated.
