Analysis

Serko reported its strongest half-year to 30 September 2025, with total income up 45% year-over-year to $61.8 million, driven explicitly by scaling of Booking.com for Business and the addition of GetThere to accelerate North American expansion. Management highlighted disciplined execution and profitable growth, delivering record EBITDAFI of $6.1 million and generating $3.0 million of free cash flow versus the prior 1H FY25 comparators.

The results demonstrate the scalability of Serko’s model as new channel contributions lift top-line growth while maintaining positive cash generation; EBITDAFI represents roughly a 9.9% margin on reported total income and free cash flow conversion was approximately 4.9%, indicating profitable but early-stage cash conversion. The GetThere acquisition and Booking.com partnership materially contributed to growth, positioning Serko for further North American penetration but also concentrating reliance on these channels for near-term expansion.

Key near-term considerations are integration execution for GetThere, retention and revenue mix from Booking.com for Business, and whether operating leverage improves to lift margins and FCF conversion. Market signals show a strongly positive sentiment score (0.7) but only modest market-impact (0.35), so investor reaction may depend on forthcoming quarterly evidence of sustained North American traction and margin expansion.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Consider incremental exposure to Serko given 45% top-line growth and record EBITDAFI, but size positions modestly because the North American expansion via GetThere is still in early stages and integration risk remains
• Monitor leading KPIs—revenue share from Booking.com for Business and GetThere, sequential revenue growth in North America, EBITDAFI margin and free cash flow conversion—and increase conviction only if these metrics improve quarter-on-quarter
• Use risk management (e.g., position limits, trailing stops or hedges) to protect against downside if next-quarter results show margin compression or weaker cash conversion, and reassess after management provides further guidance
