No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of the information, opinions and conclusions contained in this presentation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, none of Helloworld Travel Limited, its directors, employees or agents, nor any other person accepts any liability for any loss arising from the use of this presentation or its contents or otherwise arising in connection with it, including without limitation, any liability arising from fault or negligence on the part of Helloworld Travel Limited, or its directors, employees or agents. This presentation contains forward-looking statements which can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “should”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “intend”, “scheduled” or “continue” or similar expressions. Any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, assumptions, contingencies and other factors (many of which are outside the control of, and unknown to, Helloworld Travel Limited and its directors, employees, agents or associates), which may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from any future result so performed, expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. There can be no assurance or guarantee that actual outcomes will not differ materially from these statements. This document includes the presentation of results on a statutory basis as well as non-statutory information. All financial results are presented in AUD (unless otherwise stated) and rounded to millions (unless otherwise stated). Data used for calculating percentage movements has been rounded to thousands. Key non-statutory financial metrics: • The Statutory Result represents the Group’s reported profit or loss for the period as disclosed in the Consolidated income statement of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Underlying Result represents the Statutory Result excluding the impact of significant items and is not subject to audit or review. Significant items are those gains or losses where their nature, including the expected frequency of the events giving rise to them, and impact is considered material to the financial statements. • Total Transaction Value (TTV) does not represent revenue in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and is not subject to audit or review. TTV represents the price at which travel products and services have been sold across the Group, as agents for various airlines and other service providers, plus revenue from other sources. The Group’s revenue is, therefore, derived from TTV. TTV does not represent the Group cash inflows as some transactions are settled directly between customer and supplier. • Revenue margin is calculated as revenue from contracts with customers as a percentage of TTV. The calculation does not include interest income and other income. • Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and is not subject to audit or review. EBITDA includes interest income. • The EBITDA underlying result (Underlying EBITDA) represents EBITDA excluding significant items. Underlying EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards but is the measure used by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to assess the financial performance of the Group and operating segments and is not subject to audit or review. A reconciliation of Underlying EBITDA to profit before income tax expense is provided in note 2.3: Segment information of the Consolidated Financial Statements. • EBITDA margin has been calculated as EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue and income. Unless otherwise stated, current and prior year financial results and metrics are based on continuing operations and exclude the Entertainment Logistix business (discontinued operation).
