Outlook

The strong start to the year was in line with our expectations and reflected good execution and market outperformance. Since the beginning of April, trading has remained resilient, broadly in line with first half performance supported by strong long lead time bookings. At the same time, the more volatile macroeconomic environment has led to slightly lower visibility for summer bookings. As a consequence, the range of potential revenue outcomes for FY25E is wider and FY25E revenue guidance is updated to EUR740-790m. Guidance has been introduced for Adj. EBITDA (EUR430-450m) and operating free cash flow conversion (c. 100%, in line with our mid-term guidance), reflecting actions we are taking to deliver profitability and cash generation in a less predictable market environment. Our Mid-term outlook is unchanged. Our strong value proposition, compounded by the long-term positive spending trends underpinning the travel and leisure market, gives us confidence for the future.
