Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
Executive summary
First half results exceeded expectations, driven by strong Travel performance, especially in Ocean and River Cruises, and significant net debt reduction.
Strategic actions included the sale of the Insurance Underwriting business, successful refinancing, and management reorganization, advancing a less complex, lower-risk model.
New partnerships, such as a 20-year insurance broking agreement with Ageas and a savings partnership with NatWest Boxed, are on track.
Travel is now the largest profit contributor, with combined leadership across cruise and holidays driving operational synergies.
Forward bookings in Travel remain robust, supporting the target of at least £100m annual underlying profit and leverage below 2.0x by January 2030.
Financial highlights
Underlying Revenue rose 7% year-over-year to £320.5m; Trading EBITDA increased 8% to £67.5m.
Underlying Profit Before Tax from continuing operations was £23.5m, down 5% due to higher finance costs but ahead of expectations.
Net Debt reduced by £77.7m since year-end to £515.1m, with leverage ratio improving to 4.3x from 4.8x.
Available Operating Cash Flow increased 64% to £89.4m.
Profit before tax improved to £3.7m from a £116.9m loss, reflecting the absence of prior year impairments.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year Underlying Profit Before Tax is expected to be in line with the prior year, with net debt leverage ratio below last year.
Momentum in Travel and Insurance Broking supports confidence in achieving medium-term targets of £100m profit and less than 2x leverage by January 2030.
Profitability in Holidays expected to be higher in H2 due to seasonality; Cruise profitability to be lower in H2; Insurance Broking earnings to dip short-term during Ageas transition, with growth resuming from 2026/27.
Trading EBITDA now forecast ahead of 2024/25; year-end leverage ratio expected below prior year.
Strong forward bookings in Travel, with Ocean Cruise load factor for the year at 92% and per diem up 10%.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
