HomeToGo surpasses FY/24 Guidance for Booking Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by strong Q4/24 Booking Revenues growth of +67% YoY; Begins 2025 with record €47M Booking Revenues Backlog (+43% YoY)
Luxembourg, 15 January 2025 - HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG), the SaaS-enabled marketplace with the world’s largest selection of vacation rentals, today announced that, based on preliminary unaudited results, it has finished the financial year 2024 with strong Booking Revenues reaching €259M (+36% YoY). This performance surpasses the Company’s already upgraded FY/24 financial guidance of more than €255M (originally more than €250M). Booking Revenues for Q4/24 increased substantially by +67% YoY to more than €49M, fueled by continued robust demand. Bookings in the first two weeks of 2025 also began on a very promising note, driven by strong consumer travel demand across HomeToGo’s key domains and geographic markets.
Within the Marketplace segment, the strategically important Booking (Onsite) business, which includes a high share of bookings with check-in dates in FY/25, grew its Booking Revenues in Q4/24 by +131% YoY (FY/24: +64% YoY) and outpaced the growth of the Advertising business, which grew in Q4/24 by +18% YoY (FY/24: +5% YoY). Since a significant part of the Advertising business revenues (CPC business) are immediately recognized under IFRS, the stronger than expected growth in the Booking (Onsite) business vs. the Advertising business will result in a partial shift of the associated IFRS Revenue recognition into FY/25. Consequently, IFRS Revenues for FY/24 are expected to be €212-215M (vs. prior €215-220M), with a corresponding positive impact anticipated for FY/25 IFRS Revenues.
HomeToGo_PRO, with a 30% Booking Revenues share, remains a strong contributor to the overall growth of the Group with Booking Revenues growing in Q4/24 by +33% to €17M. The full year results confirm the segment’s solid progress, resulting in Booking Revenues of €78M (+33% YoY).
The remarkable +67% YoY growth of the Group’s Booking Revenues for Q4/24 also contributed to a new year-end record Booking Revenues Backlog1 of €47M as of 31 December 2024 (+43% vs. 31 December 2023), ensuring a strong foundation for 2025 and reinforcing HomeToGo’s growth momentum.
In regards to Adjusted EBITDA, HomeToGo expects to exceed its guidance for FY/24 of more than €10M, with Adjusted EBITDA now projected at more than €11M.
Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-founder & CEO, HomeToGo: "2024 marked HomeToGo’s 10th anniversary since our founding and was a milestone year of continued growth. We significantly grew Booking Revenues and improved our Adjusted EBITDA by more than fivefold, surpassing our full year guidance in both areas. We also reached a new all-time high Booking Revenues Backlog, increasing by more than 43% compared to 2023’s record-breaking year-end figure and paving the way for another successful year ahead. As we enter 2025, we are more confident than ever in our growth journey and our ability to continue making incredible homes easily accessible to everyone.”
