Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Leveraged to the global travel industry and significant scale - $85bn gross booking value, 2.4 million rooms, 130+ million reservations & 250+ million room nights.
- Full solution for hotels & accommodation providers which would be difficult to build in-house (material dollar spend required) & improves on current processes (manual / paper based processes still used).
- New product launches and successfully deploying Channels Plus and Smart Distribution Platform (SDP).
- Attractive & growing subscription revenues (shift to product & transaction led growth).
- Low churn rate indicates superior product and some level of stickiness given the integration with the customer’s business.
- Management is targeting the Rule of 40 (revenue growth + profit margin > 40%).
Key Risks

- Poor execution of new product launches.
