Luxembourg, 14 February 2024 - HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG), the SaaS-enabled marketplace with the world’s largest selection of vacation rentals, today announced it has finished 2023 by achieving its number one priority for the full financial year: Reaching Adjusted EBITDA break-even. With preliminary Adjusted EBITDA of €2M (vs. €(20.7)M in 2022) and an absolute improvement of more than €20M on the back of further improving marketing efficiency during the course of 2023 compared to 2022, HomeToGo has surpassed its financial guidance for FY/23.

Preliminary IFRS Revenues rose to €162M (10% YoY vs. €146.8M in 2022), reaching the upper end of the FY/23 financial guidance. HomeToGo’s profitable Subscriptions & Service business saw continued strong growth during 2023 with IFRS Revenues of €35M (48% YoY vs. €23.7M in 2022), which is around 22% of HomeToGo Group’s total IFRS Revenues.

Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-founder & CEO, HomeToGo: “2023 was another milestone year for HomeToGo as we achieved our number one priority for the year: Reaching Adjusted EBITDA break-even. This significant step, combined with generating more than 20% of HomeToGo’s IFRS Revenues from our Subscriptions & Services business, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and demonstrates our commitment to delivering on the promises we made during our IPO in 2021. We also started 2024 with a new record Booking Revenues Backlog - especially remarkable given our clear focus on profitability and significantly improved marketing efficiency in 2023. Beyond our financial achievements, 2023 saw us lead the vacation rental industry in artificial intelligence, secure an industry-leading ESG Rating, sign binding documents for our largest ever acquisition, introduce HomeToGo_PRO - our new B2B brand and business segment - and more. As we enter 2024, our tenth year as a company, we are confident to reach more new heights as we continue on our ambitious growth journey.”
