Outlook 20
Guidance adjustments 2019 Business performance affected by market segment development in 2019 • German package travel industry flat in first nine months 2019 compared to 2018. • HY1 burdened by Germania insolvency (>13,000 package bookings via HC) lead to higher costs, lower revenues through cancelations. • Despite accelerated growth end of Q2 and beginning of Q3, the overall growth level did not suffice to fully compensate weak HY1. • HY2 now strongly burdened by Thomas Cook insolvency (> 20.000 bookings via HC). Negative effect of approx. EUR -3.0 million in Q3 2019 due to value adjustments on trade receivables. • Potential short- to mid-term impact due to consumer sentiment towards package holidays and changes in tour operator landscape yet to be seen. Updated Guidance Revenue growth of 1 – 4 % and operating EBITDA of EUR 2 - 6 million. (Prior: 3 - 6% revenue growth, operating EBITDA EUR 7.5 – 10.5 million) Company Presentation 21
Outlook Continue profitable growth of core business and investments in long- term growth to deliver on our vision We expect… • DACH package holiday market to grow 2-3 percent yoy. • DACH online package market to grow double digit yoy leading to continuously rising online penetration. Our long-term ambition: • Sustainable double-digit revenue growth • Operating EBITDA margin of 15% on average • Marketing and personnel expenses to grow disproportional to revenues. The package holiday market was impacted by insolvencies and economic uncertainties in 2019. We believe these effects to be short- to mid-term with minor influence on our long-term ambition.
