"It's great to see the business accelerate driven by the initiatives delivered over the last 3 years. We have been assisted by the overall global travel recovery, even with Asia still in the early phases of reopening. Our strong success in increasing the customer uptake of our transaction products is paying off with 86% y/y (cc) transaction revenue growth in Q4FY22. Subscription revenues are starting to accelerate as we rebuild our Go To Market capacity. I want to thank all our staff, partners and customers for the resilience they have shown over the last couple of years and we are optimistic for the continued recovery of travel around the world." says Sankar Narayan, CEO & Managing Director at SiteMinder.

  • ARR is the prior month's recurring subscription revenue multiplied by 12 and the prior quarter's transaction revenue from subscriber customers (assuming any promotions have ended) multiplied by four. ARR provides a 12-month calculation of revenue at a point in time, assuming other factors such as subscriber numbers, transaction volumes, pricing and foreign exchange remain unchanged. Readers should note that ARR does not represent our actual results, is not a financial forecast and should not be used in isolation as a forward-looking indicator of revenue.

Key Product Initiatives

During the quarter we launched our next generation Platform with overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers. Our customers are excited to take advantage of the Platform's more intuitive user experience, improved workflow, increased connectivity, and access to deep insights on business performance.

We expanded Little Hotelier Basics (LH Basics) on 28-June to our major English speaking regions. Featuring digital sales and on-boarding, and a hybrid pricing model, LH Basics makes SiteMinder's technology more accessible to small accommodation providers whose uptake of modern technology solutions remain low.

Our transaction products were also enhanced to drive customer adoption and usage. During 4QFY22 we further optimised our Demand Plus bidding engine helping deliver more bookings for our customers.

H2FY22 (unaudited) Cash Flow - Underlying Free Cash Outflow3 at (30)% of Revenue

SiteMinder's underlying free cash outflow (FCF) for H2FY22 was ($18.4)m and represented (30%) of revenue. Underlying FCF for Q4FY22 was ($9.9)m. There were modest working capital timing differences between Q3FY22 and Q4FY22.

Underlying operating cash outflows were ($6.2)m and investment cash outflows were ($12.2)m during H2FY22.

H2FY22 underlying free cash outflow excludes ($0.6)m of cash payments related to pre-IPO historical commitments, ($4.0)m of IPO costs and ($2.1)m of funds invested in term deposits.

The cash usage was driven by the rebuilding of our Go to Market (GTM) capacity during FY22 following the COVID driven reductions in March 2020, and new product initiatives including the Platform launch in Q4FY22. These investments are laying the foundations for improved unit economics and for SiteMinder to become free cash flow positive with high organic growth in the future.

SiteMinder ended FY22 with $117.7m of liquidity consisting of $88.74m of available cash balance and funds on deposit, and undrawn debt facilities of $29.0m. The business is well capitalised to achieve its strategic objectives.

Growth Guidance Re-iterated

SiteMinder is targeting pre-COVID-19 revenue growth rates (31% from FY17-FY19) in the future but realisation of this target will depend on many factors outside of the Company's control, including the substantial abatement of COVID-19 related influences on the accommodation and travel industry.

Use of Funds

SiteMinder's initial public offering (Offer) raised $627m. Primary IPO proceeds of $90m were received during Q2FY22.

SiteMinder remains well capitalised with cash and funds on deposit of $88.7m and no debt.

The table below sets out SiteMinder's expenditures since the completion of the Offer in Q2FY22. All expenditures are aligned with SiteMinder's expected use of funds as outlined in its Prospectus dated 21 October 2021.
