The WEB Travel Group Ltd (ASX: WEB) share price is up more than 12% after announcing its FY25 result.
WEB Travel is the owner of WebBeds, a business to business (B2B) company focused on the global travel sector.
FY25 result
Here are some of the highlights from WEB Travel’s 2025 financial year:
- Total transaction value (TTV) rose 22% to $4.87 billion
- Revenue rose by 1% to $328.4 million
- Underlying EBITDA declined by 13% to $120.8 million
- Underlying net profit decreased by 22% to $79.2 million
WEB Travel said that its TTV is now nearly double what it was before the pandemic, with the growth markets of the Asia Pacific and the Americas now accounting for just over half (53%) of TTV.
The ASX travel share said that its margins stabilised in the second half, while full-year EBITDA was in line with expectations.
The company claimed WebBeds’ TTV growth rate is the “highest of the global travel companies”, with a world-class EBITDA margin of 42%.
WEB Travel said company-driven factors in the first half have been addressed and it’s actively looking for opportunities to increase margins. Its focus is now on optimising its supply mix.
It’s investing in “directly contracted inventory, reengineering supply agreements and increasing the number of hotel contractors, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Americas”. Management are confident this will “generate significant earnings growth in the short to medium term”.
The company completed a $150 million share buyback in March 2025.
Outlook for the WEB Travel share price
The business said it’s aiming to take advantage of its economies of scale to deliver “significant” EBITDA growth by FY30.
It revealed it has had an exceptional start to FY26 trading, with TTV up 37% and bookings up 29% compared to the same period last year.
It’s targeting a record EBITDA result in FY26 and remains committed to delivering $10 billion of TTV in FY30 with an EBITDA margin of around 50%.
While the global economic picture is uncertain, it seems WEB Travel is succeeding at growing at a good pace. It seems like one of the ASX growth shares to watch.
