revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The company anticipates continued growth in top line and Gross Profit (GP), particularly from investments made in H1 2025 that have near-term payback potential (Page 12). - SG&A growth is expected to taper down year-on-year, leading to improved operating and EBITDA margins moving forward (Pages 12, 14). - The addition of Classic business (integrated from H2 2025) is expected to increase overall GTV significantly, with growth opportunities in the large US market, although it's early to quantify long-term effects (Pages 4, 15). - Growth in international travel agent additions is strong, especially in Europe, Middle East, and APAC, supporting GTV expansion (Pages 4, 10). - AI-driven pricing and platform efficiencies are expected to drive higher conversion rates, margin improvements, and overall revenue growth (Page 11). - The company aims for profitable growth without major reinvestments, targeting steady-margin expansion alongside growing revenue (Pages 5, 12).

margin

- SG&A growth is expected to taper down year-on-year, aiding margin expansion. - EBITDA growth anticipated to accelerate faster than Gross Profit (GP) in subsequent quarters due to operating leverage. - Margins expected to improve with margin expansion in the core business over the next several quarters. - Classic business integration expected to add meaningfully to revenue and GP; growth profile may reset but operational synergies are likely to improve profitability. - Investments made in the first half of the year have a fairly quick payback horizon (12-18 months), translating into higher operating margins and EBITDA expansion. - Long-term outlook anticipates profitable growth without requiring further cash from the core business for Classic. - Earnings growth expected with continued top-line growth supported by AI-driven pricing optimization and increased productivity of travel agents. - No definitive target EBITDA margin disclosed; decisions on reinvestment vs. margin focus remain flexible.
