Webjet Group has elected to adopt predecessor accounting to ensure continuity and comparability in its financial reporting. Webjet Group has also elected to present previous corresponding period financial information as if it had always operated independently. Consequently, the comparative numbers are only representative in nature.

Unless otherwise stated, all financials in this presentation are for Underlying Operations and all comparisons are over the previous corresponding period (pcp). Underlying Operations reflects the core financial performance of Webjet Group, adjusting for the impact of any one-off or non-recurring items, non-cash items such as share based payments and pro forma adjustments disclosed in the Demerger Booklet. These adjustments are made

to give investors a clearer and more consistent view of Webjet Group's ongoing financial performance. Underlying Operations are non-IFRS measures and not subject to review procedures. This presentation should be read in conjunction with the half-year Financial Report for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

Q2 Activity and Findings

Outcome of Strategic Review

  • Our priority is to improve the profitability of this business.

  • We undertook a strategic review of the business in 2Q25.

  • We need to further streamline to deliver clearer customer focus, simplification and efficient execution.

  • While growth is projected from inbound international markets in 2025, our focus for the next 12-18 months is on the core destination markets of New Zealand and Australia.

  • Simplify service offering to focus on profitable bookings

  • Further automate highly manual and non-value-add tasks

  • Reduce headcount to align cost base to current Bookings and Revenue while providing ability to scale when inbound long-haul tourism and Motorhome supply improve

  • Restructuring expected to deliver c.$4.0m annualised OPEX savings (c.$1.0m expected in 2H25)

  • Remove GoSee brand to consolidate online investment in the better-known Airport Rentals and Motorhome Republic brands which serve both B2C and B2B markets
