DEFINITIONS

  1. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure representing Earnings Before the deduction of costs relating to Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortisation.

  2. Recurring product revenue (a non-GAAP measure) is the recurring revenue derived from transactions and usage of Serko products by contracted customers. It excludes revenues from customised software development (services revenue).

  3. ATMR (Annualised Transactional Monthly Revenue) is a non-GAAP measure. Serko uses this as a useful indicator of recurring revenues from Serko products. It is calculated by annualising the combination travel and expense platform monthly revenues for the most recent non-seasonal month. The travel platform revenue is annualised by taking the monthly online booking transactions divided by the number of weekdays for that month multiplied by the average year to date ARPB and multiplied by 260 days. The expense platform revenue is based on the monthly revenue from active users multiplied by 12 months.

  4. R&D (Research & Development) costs is a non-GAAP measure representing the internal and external costs related to R&D both expensed and capitalised.

  5. FTE = Full time equivalent employee.

  6. ARPB (Average Revenue Per Booking) is a non-GAAP measure. Serko uses this as a useful indicator of the combined value from transactional booking fees and the supplier commissions earned from the travel platform. It is calculated by taking total travel platform booking revenue and supplier commission revenue divided by the total number of bookings.

  7. Operating Costs is a non-GAAP measure which excludes costs relating to taxation, interest, depreciation, and amortisation charges.
