Munich, Germany, 30 January 2020, 10:59 CET – According to preliminary financial results, HolidayCheck Group AG achieved a consolidated group revenue in financial 2019 of EUR 143.7 million versus EUR 138.9 million in FY 2018 (+3.5 percent). Consolidated operating EBITDA (operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is expected at EUR 7.0 million versus EUR 10.7 million in FY 2018 (-34.6 percent).
Operating EBITDA is thus higher than the earnings guidance updated in September 2019, which had assumed operating EBITDA of between EUR 2.0 million and EUR 6.0 million.
The main reason is the lower than expected extraordinary charges on earnings as a result of the insolvency of the German subsidiaries of the Thomas Cook Group.
The financial results for financial 2019 will be published on March 25, 2020.
