Consolidated unaudited revenue for the 3-month period
Resilient growth and commercial progress
Group revenue of €182m was up 3% (6% in constant currency) in the third quarter compared to the prior period. The later timing of Easter contributed approximately 1% point to growth in the quarter. For the 9-month period ended
TTV (total transaction value) growth was 5% in Q3 (8% constant currency), slightly ahead of revenue growth, in line with the trends experienced in the first half of the year. Growth in Accommodation was mostly driven by volumes, with room nights growing faster than average daily rates (ADRs). This reflected deeper discounting in some markets where demand weakened as well as a change in the geographic mix of activity and currency movements.
Actions were taken early in the quarter to capture revenue growth, including targeted geographic expansion, cross-selling and bundling of ancillary products, as well as investment in new products and tactical pricing actions. These actions helped
Outlook
After a strong start to the year, delivering 12% TTV growth and 10% revenue growth in the first half, trading deteriorated in Q3 impacted by disruption in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environments as well as the translational impact of a weaker US dollar. Reflecting these market-wide challenges and the actions we have taken, we now expect to deliver mid-to-high single-digit TTV growth and mid-single digit revenue growth converting into Adjusted EBITDA growth of at least high-single digit for the full year. Our cash conversion guidance is unchanged at c.100%. We have a clear expansion strategy to use our scalable technology and global B2B network to capture future market growth opportunities and drive profitable growth as the environment stabilises. Our mid-term outlook is unchanged.
