Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report we have achieved our goal of turning a profit in the first half of the 2018 financial year (FY18) and that we are well on our way to recording Serko’s first full-year profit. The onboarding of new customers to our suite of corporate travel and expense management solutions; increased usage of the solutions by our existing customers; and the growing contribution to revenue of travel-related content, such as hotels and airport transfers, resulted in strong growth in the half-year.
It has been a gratifying six-month period, and we are now looking forward to making progress on the next phase of our growth plans, to expand our presence in the northern hemisphere markets.
We have also controlled costs and generated modest positive cashflows, while continuing to invest in the further development of our solutions, including Serko Zeno, our new premium solution we are offering alongside Serko Online that was rolled out to our first customers in October.
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS IN THE FIRST HALF OF FY18
Serko’s three-pronged strategy of delivering marketleading technological innovations, growing its customer base and increasing average revenue per booking (ARPB), continues to deliver favourable financial outcomes for the company. On all three fronts Serko has made good progress, which has further enhanced the company’s position as the leading online business travel booking platform in the Australasian market.
30% Increase in revenue
21%
Increase in transacted booking volume
number of planned transitions onto the Serko platform in the second half, through agreements with Sabre and Tandem, (Air New Zealand’s TMC). These agreements are underpinned by minimum transaction commitments.
- A 43% increase in revenue generated by Serko Expense, our expense management solution, compared to the previous corresponding period, as a result of the successful reseller programme introduced in the prior year with our partner TMCs.
Key strategic achievements for the period include:
-
The development and release of Zeno, a premium and predictive door-to-door booking platform that will allow Serko to continue to grow its customer base and give customers the opportunities to add additional content to their travel programmes via the Zeno hub. Zeno will extend Serko’s content revenue sources. We are pleased with the results from Zeno customer trials and we expect further uptake as commercial arrangements are finalised with our partner Travel Management Company (TMC) resellers. Already, we anticipate more than 1,000 corporate customers will transition to the platform. Zeno will spearhead our Northern Hemisphere entry strategy. It is engineered to integrate additional content sources from multiple providers and is therefore adaptable to new geographies.
-
The continued onboarding of new customers, resulting in a 21% increase in online booking transactions over the same period last year. Transactions are expected to increase with a
-
A 100% increase in content revenue growth over the same period last year with 5.4% of all bookings as of September 2017 now generating additional content revenues. Serko continues to add content to its platform and recently completed the development work for accommodation providers Hotel Hub and HRS Global Hotel Solutions. We also recently announced a partnership with Gullivers Travel Associates (GTA) to provide further hotel content. This content combined with that from Expedia, Booking.com, Wotif and Expedia Affiliate Network makes Serko one of the world’s largest metasearch engines for business travel accommodation.
-
The partnership with Air New Zealand to bring the airline’s unique content to the Zeno platform, allowing customers to book through Serko, previously unavailable content, such as meal and seat selection.
4 Serko Interim Report September 2017
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total Operating Revenue[1] rose 30% to $9.1 million, reflecting the 21% increase in transacted booking volumes (which translated into a 19% increase in transactional fee revenue) - in the half-year period. It also reflected strong growth in income from Serko Expense, content supplier commissions (both through Serko Online and serko.travel) and Serko Mobile licenses. These latter sources of revenue contributed 29% to Total Operating Revenue.
m $17.8 PEAK ATMR 2
Up 28% from same month last year
Half-year Total Income[1] rose 26% to $9.6 million, which was a $2 million increase over the prior half-year result of $7.6 million. Relative to last year, operating revenue income also benefited from the hedging of the company’s net forecasted Australian dollar position at approximately NZ$0.93. The prior half-year result was affected by unfavourable foreigncurrency shifts.
A company-wide focus on achieving best-practice in terms of the cost base and realising operating efficiencies, resulted in operating costs declining by 12%, while investment spending on intangibles such as software development and purchases of property, plant and equipment was lower at $0.2 million compared to the same period last year of $0.8 million.
Coupled with revenue growth, these savings resulted in a first-half EBITDA[3] of $1.3 million, a turnaround of $3.1 million from the EBITDA loss of $1.8 million in the same period last year.
Approximately 90% of revenue in the period was derived from recurring revenue sources, with the remainder derived mainly from system customisation work. Annualised Transactional Monthly Revenue (ATMR[2] ), an indicator of the company’s recurring revenues, stood at $17.8 million at the end of September 2017, up from $15.3 million as at the end of March 2017.
m $1.3 EBITDA 3
A turn around of $3.1m from last year loss of $1.8m
-
Total Operating Revenue is revenue excluding income from grants and finance income, while Total Income includes grants.
-
ATMR is a non-GAAP measure representing Annualised Transactional Monthly Revenue. Serko uses this as a useful indicator of recurring revenues from Serko products, based on the monthly transactions and average revenue per booking, on a constant currency basis. Due to seasonality Serko uses the latest month which is not affected by a seasonality trend. For the current period, September 2017 is affected by Australian school holidays and as such the calculation is based on August 2017 transactions.
-
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure representing Earnings Before the deduction of costs relating to Interest, Taxation, Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment.
-
NPBT is net profit before tax.
Serko Interim Report September 2017 5
m $1.2
A turn around of $3.2m from last year loss of $2.0m
First half net profit before tax (NPBT[4] ) for the six months to 30 September 2017 was $1.2 million, well ahead of the $2 million loss in the same period last year and ahead of the guidance given in October.
Serko remains in a sound financial position with cash balances of $4.6 million, up from $4.5 million at 31 March 2017. In the same period last year net cash balances fell by $2.4 million.
However, Serko is investing more during the second half as we begin our expansion into northern hemisphere territories. We expect that our cost base will increase correspondingly. We aim to match our cost base with guranteed minimum revenue deals with prospective TMC partners in the Northern Hemisphere and we are confident that we have sufficient resources to execute our growth plans.
Serko remains committed to achieving EBITDA, NPBT and cash flow breakeven during the second half, while expansion opportunities are pursued.
Serko is looking forward confidently to the next phase of our growth plan. The company now provides an integrated globally competitive offering through the provision of Serko Zeno, alongside Serko Online, Serko Expense as well as serko.travel for small and medium enterprises.
Yours sincerely,
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF FY18
While the second half is typically not as strong as the first, due to the slowdown in corporate travel during the Australasian December-to-January holiday period, Serko is expecting revenues to continue to grow through the onboarding of customers and commencement of revenue from Zeno. Minimum transaction agreements, notably with Sabre and Tandem will also underpin revenue growth.
As disclosed in October, Serko expects Total Operating Revenue for the second half of the 2018 financial year to be 25% to 30% higher than the same period a year ago. As a result, we expect Total Operating Revenue for the year to 31 March 2018 to be in the range of $18 million to $19 million.
