Travel companies in Australia have experienced excellent growth driven by domestic demand. We are discussing a few stocks from the travel sector with good fundamentals. Letâs have a look at each of them-
Webjet Limited (ASX:WEB)
Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB) is engaged in the business of online sale of travel products, including flights and hotel rooms. The Consolidated Entityâs business consists of a B2C division and a B2B division (WebBeds). WEB is a leader in terms of the OTA (Online Travel Agency) in Australia and New Zealand. The Companyâs B2C division operates in two online travel businesses under the âWebjetâ and âOnline Republicâ brands. As per the annual report of FY18, Webjet OTA holds ~50% of the entire OTA flight market with Webjet Domestic Bookings at 8% and Webjet International Bookings at 14%, outperforming the market growth by more than three times. WebBeds, launched in 2013, is the worldâs second largest and fastest-growing accommodation supplier of the travel industry and operates across Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific.
In H1 FY19 results, TTV (Total Transactional Value) rose by 29%, accounting for 2% growth in B2C and a 65% growth in B2B division. Growth in the B2B division for H1 incorporated six months of Jac Travel as compared to four months in pcp. With the acquisition adjustment, the organic growth stood at 21% regardless of the slower bookings on the back of a hot European summer. The rise in directly contracted B2B inventory and greater cross-sell across B2C ancillary products supported the overall top line margin, which was up by 25 bps as compared to the corresponding period last year.
The group remains focused on further growth of its B2C business organically and anticipates to structure its B2B business through a combination of organic and inorganic growth. The management is of the view that the company remains on track to deliver at least $120 million EBITDA in FY19, including all start-up costs associated with Umrah Holidays International.
