WEB Travel Group Equity Research Summary

Key Financial Performance

• FY25 Results: TTV growth missed by -2% year-over-year against JEF and U-NPATA estimations. EBITDA margin declined due to higher interest, D&A, and taxes, leading to a $11% U-NPATA miss. Revenue TTV grew by 22%, driven by APAC and Americas regions.

Analyst Rating & Price Target

• Rating: Hold
• Base Case Price Target: AUD5.00 (down from AUD5.30)
• Upside Scenario: AUD5.50 if margins improve by FY27
• Downside Scenario: AUD3.80 based on continued margin declines

Investment Thesis & View

• WEB's B2B segment shows global potential, justifying a small premium to regional peers.
• Leisure travel competition is intense, with WEB facing direct competitors like airlines and tech giants.
• Aggressive target of AUD10b TTV by 2030 raises concerns about margin compression from aggressive growth.

Key Risks

1. Intensifying Competition: WEB competes against larger players in B2B and leisure travel.
2. Disruptive Events: Pandemics, geopolitical issues, or macroeconomic factors may impact the travel industry.
3. Sustainability Pressures: Net-zero commitments could constrain air travel if unmet.
4. Supplier Relationships: Ongoing pressure on commissions from travel suppliers.
5. Cybersecurity: Risk of privacy breaches affecting reputation and revenue.

Catalysts

• Stronger-than-expected margin improvements by FY27.
• Major M&A activity within B2B.
• Successful divestiture of B2C operations.
• Sustainability targets meeting expectations.

Financial Highlights

• EBITDA declined due to higher D&A and taxes.
• Share buyback reduced EPSA miss to -1% for FY26E.

Valuation

• Base Case Valuation: A$5.00 based on blended EV/EBITDA multiples.
• Aust travel peers trade at lower multiples than international OTA peers.
