Earnings Calls

In the first half of 2024, Hostelworld achieved a 9% increase in net bookings despite a 10% drop in average booking value (ABV) due to a shift towards lower-cost destinations, particularly in Asia. This shift resulted in only a 1% revenue growth. However, the company's social strategy significantly improved efficiency, reducing marketing expenses as a percent of net revenue from 51% to 45%, leading to a 23% increase in net margin. Operating expenses were tightly controlled, falling by 2%, which contributed to an 88% growth in EBITDA to ÂŁ9.6 million. Hostelworld expects to maintain a circa 20% EBITDA margin for the full year.
