Press release

ASMALLWORLD AG (SWX:ASWN) expects a 40% revenue increase for first half of 2019 and confirms full year revenue guidance of CHF 12-12.5M

Zurich, 25.07.2019 - ASMALLWORLD AG expects revenues for the first half-year 2019 to reach CHF 5.5m which represents an increase of 40% compared to the same period last year. Simultaneously, the company grew its member base across the group from 47'800 to 54'900 in HY1. Furthermore, the company expects a significant improvement of its EBITDA and confirms its revenue guidance of CHF 12-12.5M for the full year.

 

Based on preliminary figures, ASMALLWORLD AG expects revenue growth of 40% for the first half of 2019. H1 revenue is expected to come in at CHF 5.5M, compared to CHF 3.9M in the first six months last year. The revenue growth rate is at the upper end of this year's guidance, which the company expects to be between 35 and 40%. For the full year, the company maintains its revenue target of CHF 12-12.5M.

In the first six month, the company grew its member base from 47'800 to 54'900 which represents a 15% increase. The company had previously communicated that it expects to have between 56,000 and 58,000 members by the end of 2019. The number of members has thus increased at a faster pace than previously expected and the goal for the year should be reached.

The company also expects its EBITDA result to have improved significantly for the first six months of the year, compared to the same period last year.

The financial report for the first half of the year will be published on 3rd September 2019.

Leading Travel & Lifestyle Community developed further during H1

During the first half of 2019, the company further developed its leading travel & lifestyle community. On June 25th, ASMALLWORLD launched a completely new iOS app which makes it even easier for members to get in touch with each other and to benefit from all the benefits of the ASMALLWORLD community. Further, on 4th June, the English-speaking website of First Class & More was launched, making the comprehensive Smart Luxury Travel offer accessible to a new and large target audience, expanding the company's revenue potential significantly.

The expansion and integration of LuxuryBARED, the hotel booking platform acquired in February 2019, is advancing according to plan. It is expected, that before year end, ASMALLWORLD members will be able to book a vast selection of luxury hotels with one click, from the app and website while benefiting from great privileges such as upgrades and late check-outs.

It is expected, that the iconic North Island resort in the Seychelles managed by ASW Hospitality AG will be flagged by Marriott's "The Luxury Collection" brand in the second half of this year. The respective property improvement plan is advancing according to plan and on schedule.
