Serko’s total income was up 27% to $90.5 million — continuing its track 
record of high growth. The result was driven by continued demand and 
growth in Booking.com for Business, with completed room nights and 
active customers both increasing 29%. The result also included a solid 
performance by Serko’s Australasian business and $4.8 million of 
income following the acquisition of GetThere on 7 January 2025.

From the Chair and CEO 
Serko delivered a 27% increase in 
total income for the year to 31 March 
2025 — continuing our track record of 
high growth. 
This result reflects strategic decisions backed by 
committed delivery. With a dual focus on operational 
efficiency and growing the top-line, Serko is proving it 
can match its ambitions with disciplined execution.
Much of the growth we’re reporting today stems from 
the 2019 decision to expand our partnership with 
Booking.com. There was no guarantee of success 
when we took that step. In 2022 there were 300,000 
completed room nights on Booking.com for Business. 
This year, there were 3.3 million. 
It has been rewarding and challenging but we’ve 
never wavered in our belief that it was the right move 
for Serko. 
In many respects the story is about the business we’ve 
become since that big step in 2019. Serko has grown 
as an organisation into a more capable, efficient and 
data-driven business. This creates more opportunity 
and also positions us to capture the upsides of the 
expanding, dynamic and changing industry vertical 
of business travel.
With business travel forecast to reach $US2 trillion 
globally by 2028, the opportunity for a technology 
company operating in the sector remains substantial.
Technology is reshaping expectations, economics 
and execution. Business travellers now expect 
consumer-grade experiences and businesses need 
more efficient, interconnected systems. Data and 
AI will define the next wave of change. 
This is why Serko has set new ambitions in the past 
year and why we have chosen to accelerate investment 
to achieve them. Our pre-acquisition business is cash 
generating — supporting our plans.
Our talented team is behind the results we delivered 
in FY25. Whether it’s total income growth, major 
partnership renewals, new customers or the strategic 
acquisition of Sabre’s GetThere business, our team have 
been committed to excellence and innovation. We are 
proud of our team’s high levels of engagement (86%) 
and high levels of employee advocacy — with 91% of our 
people recommending Serko as a great place to work. 
Business highlights
Booking.com for Business
•	 Completed room nights up 29%, from 2.5 million 
to 3.3 million.
•	 Active customers up 29% to 222,000. 
•	 Average revenue per completed room night down 
1% to €9.63.
Demand for Booking.com for Business remains strong 
and active customers are up 29%. With the team at 
Booking.com we have delivered improvements in 
activation, onboarding, customer engagement and 
repeat use. 
Managed travel 
•	 Online bookings up 6% in Australasia, from 3.9 million 
to 4.1 million. 
•	 Average revenue per booking $5.73 in Australasia, 
up 12%.
In managed travel, we also delivered several product 
enhancements for our Zeno partners and customers. 
This included drawing on Booking.com for Business 
learnings to reduce friction and boost satisfaction 
inside the Zeno product.

From our Chair and CEO

Investing for additional growth
We announced plans to expand our business in North 
America through a long-term partnership with Sabre 
and the acquisition of its travel management platform, 
GetThere. Expanding in this market is a critical part of 
our global ambitions. 
We welcomed the GetThere team at the beginning of 
the year and we are engaging with GetThere customers 
to shape the future of our market offerings.
We also announced plans to accelerate investment in 
our product and technology, to support our plans and 
remain at the forefront of business travel. This will 
allow us to maximise the opportunities available to us 
in our chosen markets — and position us to respond to 
increasing demands for automation, data and AI tools. 
This work will also support our focus on operational 
efficiency, with AI and data-led decision-making 
helping to accelerate performance and precision.
Accelerating capability
Organisational performance remains front and 
centre. This has been a concerted effort by the whole 
Company — to be clear on our goals and plans and 
to uplift our capability. This includes attracting and 
retaining the best in the business, setting ambitious 
and measurable goals and being honest about when 
we don’t meet our targets.
We are delighted to have welcomed senior leaders with 
data, AI and e-commerce experience to join us from 
leading global consumer technology businesses.
Data and AI are embedded in how we work at Serko. 
With 99% of our people having completed initial 
training in AI in the past year, we are excited about the 
possibilities as we leverage cutting-edge technology 
and drive growth and operational efficiency.
Financials
•	 We’ve delivered higher total income growth alongside 
disciplined cost management. Our ratio of total spend 
against total income improved from 118% to 102%. 
•	 We delivered positive EBITDAFI of $2.8 million for the 
year, a $4.3 million improvement, reflecting higher 
total income and our continued cost management.
•	 Our net loss after tax was $22 million, a decrease of 
$6.1 million, reflecting one-off costs and a non-cash 
accounting impairment relating to the acquisition 
of GetThere.
•	 Free Cash Flow showed a $5.2 million improvement, 
narrowing the net outflow to $1.9 million.
•	 We remain well capitalised with $61.4 million in cash 
and no debt.
Outlook
Overall demand for business travel remains strong, 
and Serko’s year-to-date performance is in line with 
our expectations.
For FY26, total income is expected to be 
$115 – $123m, underpinned by the trajectory 
in Booking.com for Business. 
We are confident in the long term opportunity in 
North America, with revenue contribution remaining 
modest in FY26.

Darrin Grafton
CEO & Co-founder
Claudia Batten
Chair
Board succession
Our Board composition has evolved over time 
through thoughtful succession. In recent years, 
we’ve welcomed two exceptional independent 
directors: Jan Dawson (2021) and Dr Sean 
Gourley (2024). 
Jan brings deep experience in governance, 
following a successful accounting career, 
including as partner, CEO and Chair of KPMG 
New Zealand. She chairs Serko’s Audit, Risk and 
Sustainability Committee and is also Chair of 
Port of Auckland Limited and a director of ACC. 
Jan was named chairperson of the year at the 
2024 Deloitte Top 200 awards. 
Sean is a technology entrepreneur and global 
expert in data and AI. He has founded and 
scaled two Silicon Valley companies, worked 
as a research scientist at NASA and served on 
the board of US-based Fortune 500 company 
Anadarko Petroleum until its acquisition in 2019. 
Sean has been a champion of Serko’s AI focus 
and a champion of data decisioning across 
the business. 
Clyde McConaghy, who joined Serko’s Board 
as a non-executive independent director at the 
time of our NZX listing in 2014, has confirmed 
he will not be standing for re-election at the 
2025 Annual Shareholders Meeting. Clyde has 
made a lasting contribution to Serko and has 
brought a valuable perspective as the Company 
grew from a local start-up into a fast-growing 
international technology company. On behalf of 
the Board, I sincerely thank him for his service. 
I will personally miss having his insights and 
perspective around the board table. 
Following the Annual Shareholders Meeting, 
Sean will become the Chair of the People, 
Remuneration and Culture Committee. As part of 
ongoing succession planning, the Board intends 
to appoint a new independent director. I look 
forward to keeping you updated.
Claudia Batten
For FY26, Serko expects total spend in the range of 
$127m – $133m. 
Risks to Serko achieving its FY26 goals include macro 
economic and geopolitical factors, and currency and 
ARPCRN movements.
Thank you
We love what we do and we couldn’t do it without 
our partners, customers and shareholders. We bring 
ambition and focus to everything we do, so we can 
deliver outstanding products and performance. 
We greatly appreciate the support and engagement 
of all of you, our shareholders.
But, most of all, we couldn’t do any of this without 
our incredible team. Thank you for leaning into our 
AI journey, for your tireless pursuit of excellence 
and for caring so deeply about what we do — and 
why we do it. We win together.

Business travellers 
book a hotel, flight, car

for Business platform. 
Booking.com receives 
commissions from 
suppliers, primarily 
hotels. Serko receives 
a component of these 
commissions where 
revenue is recognised at 
the time the relevant stay 
is completed, as bookings 
that are cancelled do not 
result in revenue.1 
Serko also earns 
commission income on 
a portion of bookings 
sourced from aggregators 
outside the GDS. Serko 
is paid directly from 
the suppliers of these 
services and it is included 
in supplier commissions.
Business travellers make 
a booking via Zeno or 
GetThere and Serko 
receives revenue from 
the TMC managing the 
business traveller. 
Travel platform revenue 
is made up of transaction 
fees, ancillary service 
fees and contracted 
minimum payments 
(where applicable) and 
is stated net of volume-
related rebates and 
discounts. 
Travel platform revenue 
is generally recognised 
at the time a booking is 
made.
The Zeno Expense 
management platforms 
allow registered users 
of corporate customers 
to process travel 
and expense claims 
for accounting and 
reimbursement. 
Expense platform 
revenues are derived 
from a combination of 
fees for active users, 
registered users and 
reports processed.
Services revenue is 
derived from customised 
software development 
undertaken on behalf of 
the TMCs, and installation 
services. It also includes 
the fees charged to 
develop connections 
to third party systems 
wanting to integrate 
with Serko’s platforms.2
Other revenue includes 
income from Serko 
mobile licence fees and 
other miscellaneous 
revenues.
Serko also receives

Serko’s 2025 ESG Report available 
now at serko.com/investors
Environment
As a technology company, Serko operates primarily 
in an online, office-based environment. While our direct 
environmental footprint is relatively small — stemming 
mainly from third-party data centres, office energy 
use, employee travel and typical technology business 
consumables — we are committed to continually 
improving our efficiency and minimising our 
environmental impact.  
As we grow and connect increasing 
numbers of business travellers, we are 
committed to doing what is right for our 
business, people, customers, investors 
and communities. We believe strong ESG 
practices give Serko its social licence 
to operate, as well as creating long-term 
value for our business.

In FY24 we undertook a materiality assessment, 
assisted by external advisers. This assessment 
enabled us to understand and prioritise the 
environment, social, governance and commercial 
areas that matter most to our stakeholders and our 
business. It has provided a strong foundation for our 
strategy and through FY25 enabled us to prioritise 
our efforts and allocate resources to the right areas.

The directors of Serko Limited are pleased to present the financial statements 
for Serko Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the year ended 31 March 2025 
to shareholders.
The directors are responsible for presenting financial statements in accordance with 
New Zealand law and generally accepted accounting practice, which fairly present the 
financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025 and the results of its operations 
and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
The directors consider the financial statements of the Group have been prepared using 
accounting policies that have been consistently applied and supported by reasonable 
judgements and estimates and that all relevant financial reporting and accounting 
standards have been followed.
The directors believe that proper accounting records have been kept that enable, 
with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial position of the Group 
and facilitate compliance of the financial statements with the Companies Act 1993, 
NZX Listing Rules, Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct 
Act 2013.
The directors consider they have taken adequate steps to safeguard the assets 
of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. Internal control 
procedures are also considered to be sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance 
as to the integrity and reliability of the financial statements.
The financial statements are signed on behalf of the Board of Directors 
on 20 May 2025 by:

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
1. Corporate information
The financial statements of Serko Limited (Company 
or Serko) and subsidiaries (Group) were authorised for 
issue in accordance with a Board resolution. 
The Company is a limited liability company domiciled 
and incorporated in New Zealand under the Companies 
Act 1993 and is listed on the New Zealand Stock 
Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange 
(ASX) as an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing. The Company 
is a for-profit entity and is required to be treated as 
an FMC reporting entity under the Financial Markets 
Conduct Act 2013.
Its registered office is at Unit 14d, 125 The Strand, 
Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand.
The Group provides online business travel booking 
software solutions and is headquartered in Auckland, 
New Zealand.
2. Basis of accounting
The material accounting policies applied in the 
preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
are set out in the respective notes and in this note. 
These policies have been consistently applied to 
all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting 
Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the 
requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 
2013. The financial statements comply with New 
Zealand equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards 
(NZ IFRS) and IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS), 
as appropriate for profit-oriented entities with public 
accountability. Other than where described below, or in 
the notes, the consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared using the historical cost convention. 
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand 
dollars (NZD) and all values are rounded to the nearest 
thousand dollars unless stated otherwise. 
b. Going concern
The Board has considered the ability of the Group to 
continue to operate as a going concern for at least the 
next 12 months from the date the financial statements 
are authorised for issue. It is the conclusion of the 
Board that the Group will continue to operate as 
a going concern and the consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared on that basis. 
In reaching their conclusion the Board has considered 
the following factors:
•	 cash reserves (Cash at bank and Short-term deposits) 
at 31 March 2025 of $61.4 million provides 
a sufficient level of headroom to support the 
business for at least the next 12 months; and
•	 average monthly cash burn for the year was 
$1.6 million, this included the one-off acquisition 
outflow for GetThere of NZD $17.3 million.
c. Basis of consolidation
The Group’s consolidated financial statements 
incorporate the financial statements of the Company 
and entities controlled by the Company. Control is 
achieved when the Company:
•	 has power over the investee; 
•	 is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns 
from its involvement with the investee; and 
•	 has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the 
Company obtains control. They are de-consolidated 
from the date that control is lost. The acquisition 
method of accounting is used to account for the 
acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The 
consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured 
as the fair value of the assets transferred by the Group, 
equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred or 
assumed, by the Group at the date of exchange. 
Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are 
recognised in the income statement. At the acquisition 
date the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities 
assumed, are recognised at their fair value.
28

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, 
without a cease of control, is accounted for as an 
equity transaction. If the Group ceases control over 
a subsidiary, it:
•	 derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and 
liabilities of the subsidiary;
•	 derecognises the carrying amount of any 
non-controlling interests;
•	 derecognises the cumulative translation difference 
recorded in equity;
•	 recognises the fair value of the consideration 
received;
•	 recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
•	 recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
•	 reclassifies the parent’s share of components 
previously recognised in other comprehensive income 
to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, 
as would be required if the Group had directly 
disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
and losses on transactions between Group companies 
are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are 
consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.
d. Foreign currency translation
i. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in these consolidated financial 
statements of each of the Group’s entities are 
measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (functional 
currency). These financial statements are presented in 
New Zealand dollars, which is the Group’s presentation 
currency and the Parent’s functional currency.
Key factors supporting the determination that 
New Zealand dollars are the Company’s functional 
currency are:
•	 Serko is NZX listed and has raised capital in 
New Zealand dollars;
•	 Serko generates revenue in multiple currencies; and
•	 New Zealand dollars are the primary currency for 
labour, operating costs and capital expenditure.
ii. Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded 
in the functional currency by applying the exchange 
rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at 
balance date.
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical 
cost in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. 
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from 
the settlement of such transactions, and from the 
translation at year end of exchange rates for monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, 
are recognised in the profit and loss.
iii. Foreign currency translation reserve 
(FCTR)
Serko translates the results of its foreign operations 
from their functional currencies to the presentation 
currency using the closing exchange rate at balance 
date for assets and liabilities and the average monthly 
exchange rates for income and expenses. The 
difference arising from the translation of the statement 
of financial position at the closing rates and the 
statement of comprehensive income at the average 
rates is recognised in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated within the foreign currency translation 
reserve within the statement of changes in equity.
e. Sales tax
The Consolidated statement of comprehensive income 
and the Consolidated statement of cash flows have 
been prepared so that all components are stated 
exclusive of sales tax, except where sales tax is not 
29
Notes to financial statements

recoverable. All items in the Consolidated statement 
of financial position are stated net of sales tax except 
for trade receivables and trade payables, which include 
sales tax payable / receivable. Sales tax includes Goods 
and Services Tax.
f. Application of new and revised standards, 
amendments and interpretations
NZ IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial 
Statements was issued in May 2024 as replacement 
for NZ IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. 
The standard introduces a new requirement to classify 
the components of the income statement into five 
defined categories — operating, investing, financing, 
income taxes, and discontinued operations — along with 
two mandatory sub-totals — operating profit, and profit 
before finance and income taxes. 
Along with the above classification changes, the 
standard also provides enhanced guidance on how to 
organise information and whether to provide it in the 
primary financial statements or the notes. 
This standard will be effective for the Group’s reporting 
period beginning 1 April 2027 and it is expected that 
there will be changes to the layout and disclosures in 
the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 
Other amendments to existing standards that are not 
yet effective are not expected to have a material impact 
on the Group. 
g. Comparatives
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified 
to conform to the current year’s presentation. 
3. Material accounting estimates 
and judgements
The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial 
statements requires the Group to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities 
and the accompanying disclosures.
The material judgements, estimates and assumptions 
made by management in the preparation of these 
financial statements are outlined within the financial 
statement notes to which they relate. A summary of 
these judgements is as follows:
•	 Capitalised development costs (note 11);
•	 Impairment of intangible assets (note 11);
•	 Revenue (note 4); and
•	 Business combinations (note 19).
4. Revenue and other income 
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of 
the consideration received or receivable to the extent it 
is probable that the entity will collect the consideration 
to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods 
or services that will be transferred to the customer. 
Where a contract contains an element of variable 
consideration, revenue is only recognised once it is 
highly probable that a significant reversal event will not 
occur. Revenue is disclosed net of credit notes, rebates 
and discounts.
a. Revenue from transaction and usage fees
Revenue from transaction and usage fees include travel 
platform booking revenue, expense platform revenue 
and supplier commission revenue. 
Revenue from travel platform bookings is recorded at 
the time the travel bookings are processed through 
Serko’s platforms. The revenue generated is derived 
from numerous customer contracts that feature diverse 
pricing structures including transactional and usage 
fees with varying triggers for recognising revenue. 
Some contracts have fixed minimum booking volume 
arrangements. These commitments typically cover the 
duration of the agreement and extend across multiple 
financial reporting periods and revenue is recognised 
over the period of volume commitment. Serko records 
revenue from its portfolio of contracts with reference 
to actual transactions, forecast transactions and 
minimum contracted commitments. Management 
exercises judgement to estimate future transaction 
volumes to determine projected revenue and accrue or 
defer revenue accordingly. For contracts without fixed 
consideration, we have applied the ‘as invoiced’ basis 
of recognition.
Expense platform revenue is earned over a month, 
however we have applied the practical expedient by 
recognising revenue at a point in time. Revenue is 
recognised on an active user basis at the end of 
each month. 
30

4. Revenue and other income (continued)
Supplier commission revenue, predominantly from hotel bookings, is recognised when the performance obligation 
is fulfilled, which is when the reservation has been completed (completed stay). Management exercises judgement 
to estimate the amount of accrued commissions due at reporting date due to the timing of commissions received 
from partners.
b. Revenue from services 
Revenue from services is generated from installation or other chargeable work orders and is recognised upon 
completion of the contract or services.
c. Contract assets
Contract assets primarily relate to accrued supplier commissions revenue (note 8). 
The contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which it is invoiced to the customer. Contract 
modifications arising from changes in pricing minimum guaranteed volumes are assessed on an individual basis and 
are accounted for prospectively, rather than adjusting the revenue for already satisfied performance obligations. 
d. Contract liabilities
If payments received exceed the revenue recognised to date, a contract liability is recognised for the difference 
(note 14).

4. Revenue and other income (continued)
The Board and Executive Team monitor the results of the Group’s operations as a whole for the purpose of making 
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and therefore the Board has determined the Group 
is a single reportable operating segment. For the year ended 31 March 2025 there were two customers (2024: two) 
that contributed more than 10% of the revenue for the Group. These customers accounted for $65.4 million of the 
revenue for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: $52.2 million). 
Serko reduces supplier commissions revenue by the amount of consideration payable to customers relating to jointly 
agreed marketing fees. For the year ended 31 March 2025, consideration payable to customers was $3.6 million 
(2024: $2.0 million).

6. Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax movements.
Tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, 
the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the 
amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates at the 
reporting date. Taxation is recognised in the income statement, except when it relates to items recognised directly 
in equity. 
Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
•	 where the entity has unrecognised losses sufficient to cover the deferred income tax liability; and
•	 for a deferred income tax liability arising from the initial recognition of goodwill; and
•	 where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that 
is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable 
profit or loss, nor gives rise to equal taxable or deductible temporary differences. 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, to the extent that 
it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that 
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax 
asset to be utilised. 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) relevant to the appropriate 
tax jurisdiction, that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are offset where there is a legally enforcable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and where the deferred 
tax balance relate to the same taxation authority.

6. Income tax (continued)
Unrecognised tax losses carried forward include $127.5 million (2024: $114.2 million) relating to New Zealand and 
$10.5 million (2024: $8.7 million) relating to foreign jurisdictions.
The New Zealand tax group has a history of tax losses, which do not expire. Given the historical losses, no recognition 
of New Zealand temporary or tax loss assets has occurred.
7. Cash at bank and short-term deposits
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position comprises cash at bank and short-term 
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Cash includes USD $1.0 million (2024: USD $1.0 million) of restricted cash in the form of a minimum bank balance 
required in the US to provide same-day clearance for expense reimbursement services.
Short-term deposits of $45.0 million (2024: $66.5 million) represent term deposits used for the investment of surplus 
funds. Short-term deposits are all New Zealand dollars denominated.

8. Trade and other receivables
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less provision for impairment.
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off 
when identified. In accordance with NZ IFRS 9: Financial instruments, trade receivables are assessed for impairment 
and an expected credit loss (ECL) provision made based on lifetime expected credit losses. The ECL model considers 
various aspects of credit risk within a risk matrix, considering history of debtor write off, ageing of invoices, country, 
market and product risk. 
The impairment, and any subsequent movement, including recovery, is recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

Expected credit loss – Trade receivables
The Group’s trade receivables over 60 days were $1.7 million (2024: $167 thousand). An ECL provision of $356 
thousand (2024: $174 thousand) has been made, resulting in a movement for the period of $182 thousand (2024: $46 
thousand). Additionally, the Group recognises an allowance of individual receivables if there is objective evidence of 
credit impairment or non-collectability.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60 day terms. Serko has historically low levels of 
impairment on trade receivables.

9. Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivatives in the form of forward exchange contracts (FECs) to reduce the risk that movements in the 
exchange rate will affect the Group’s New Zealand dollar cash flows. Such derivative financial instruments are initially 
recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at 
fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the 
fair value is negative.
The following table presents the Group’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts measured at fair value:

Derivative financial instruments have been determined to be within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Foreign currency 
forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using published market foreign exchange rates and contract 
forward rates discounted at rates that reflect the credit risk of the counterparties.

10. Property, plant and equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. 
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The following estimates have been used:
•	 Leasehold improvements - Term of lease (16.7% - 25%)
•	 Furniture and fittings - 10% - 13.5%
•	 Computer equipment - 17.5% - 48%
•	 Right-of-use asset - Term of lease
*	 Right-of-use assets relate to premises leases.

Notes to financial statements

a. Impairment
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment 
are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in 
circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be 
recoverable.
If any such indication exists and where the carrying 
values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the 
assets are written down to their recoverable amounts.
b. Disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is 
derecognised upon disposal or when no further 
future economic benefits are expected from its use or 
disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of 
the asset (calculated as the difference between the 
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the 
asset) is included in the income statement in the year 
the asset is derecognised.
11. Intangibles
Intangible assets consist of both internally generated 
intangible assets, such as capitalised expenditure 
for software development, and externally generated 
intangible assets, such as trademarks, intellectual 
property and goodwill upon acquisition.
Key judgements on the capitalisation of 
development costs
An intangible asset arising from development 
expenditure on an internal project is recognised 
only when the Group can demonstrate the technical 
feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that 
it will be available for use or sale, its intention to 
complete and its ability to use or sell the asset. 
Also considered by management is how the asset 
will generate future economic benefits, the availability 
of resources to complete the development and the 
ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to 
the intangible asset during its development. Following 
initial recognition of the development expenditure, 
the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be 
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation 
and impairment losses. Any expenditure capitalised is 
amortised over the period of expected benefit from the 
related project. 
Software assets in the current year relate to the 
continued development of the Group’s Booking.com 
integration with Zeno, the GetThere software acquired 
during the year, along with the ongoing development of 
the existing product offerings. The Group capitalises 
software development costs based on direct costs 
associated with the project and a proportion of 
employee costs that directly relate to the software 
development project. Computer software development 
costs recognised as assets are amortised over their 
estimated useful lives and tested for impairment 
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset 
may be impaired. Intangible assets under development 
and not yet completed at balance date are recorded as 
work in progress.
Other expenditures that do not meet the above criteria 
are recognised as expenses as they are incurred. This 
includes research costs and costs associated with 
maintaining internal computer software programs.

Amortisation and impairment of 
non-financial assets
Amortisation is recognised as an expense in the income 
statement. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
•	 goodwill and other intangible assets (indefinite 
useful life, not amortised but tested annually 
for impairment);
•	 intellectual property (finite, amortised on 5 years 
straight-line basis);
•	 brand (finite, amortised on 5 years straight line basis); 
•	 the strategic partnership and collaboration 
agreement (finite, amortised on 5 years on 
a straight-line basis); and
•	 computer software (finite, amortised between 
3 and 5 years on a straight-line basis).
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether 
there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. 
Where an indicator of impairment exists the Group 
makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. 
Where the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the 
asset is considered impaired and is written down to 
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the 
greater of its fair value less costs of disposal or value in 
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment assets 
are grouped into cash generating units.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is 
allocated to cash generating units and along with work 
in progress and other indefinite life intangible assets, 
is tested at least annually for impairment, or whenever 
indicators of impairment exist.
At the balance date Serko had two cash generating 
units – GetThere, comprising the newly acquired 
GetThere business and Core Serko being the remainder 
of the Group.
Core Serko cash generating unit
The recoverable amount of the Core Serko cash-
generating unit was determined from a value-in-use 
calculation that uses a discounted cash flow analysis. 
The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculation 
are those regarding the discount rate, growth rates and 
forecast financial performance and cash flows.
Management estimates the discount rate using 
rates that reflect current market assumptions of the 
time value of money and risk specific to the CGU. 
The growth rates are based on management’s best 
estimate. Forecast revenues, direct and indirect costs, 
are based on historical experience/past practices and 
expectations of future changes in the markets the 
Group operates in and services.
The value-in use was determined using cashflow 
projections across a five-year forecast period using a 
pre-tax discount rate of 11.5% (2024: 14.1%), equivalent 
to a post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 11.4% 
(2024: 11.5%), and a terminal growth rate of 2.0% 
(2024: 3.2%). A sensitivity analysis has been performed 
over the key assumptions. This included reducing 
the estimated revenue in the fifth year by 20%. These 
reasonable possible changes in assumptions did not 
result in impairment.
GetThere cash generating unit
The recoverable amount of the GetThere CGU was 
based on fair value less costs of disposal, taking 
into account changes in market conditions. The 
assumptions included future cash flow projections 
across a five-year forecast period, a pre-tax discount 
rate of 18.3% and a terminal growth rate of 2.0%, 
the model is most sensitive to changes in growth 
rates. Due to current uncertainties in the US market, 
the recoverable amount of the CGU has been valued 
as $10.3 million, resulting in an impairment charge 
recognised in the current period of $5.1 million. 
At 31 March 2025 there is no remaining goodwill 
related to the GetThere CGU.

12. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the 
Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future 
payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. 
The average credit period on trade payables is approximately 30 days.
Employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, long-service leave and annual leave expected to 
be settled within 12 months of the reporting date, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting 
date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

13. Lease liabilities
Recognition and measurement of Serko leasing activities
The Group leases property for fixed periods of between one and five years and some include extension options. These 
extension options are usually at the discretion of the Group and are included in the measurement of the lease asset if 
management concludes it is reasonably certain that the extension will be exercised.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. The lease 
payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to 
pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar 
terms and conditions.
The amortisation of the discount applied on recognition of the lease liability is recognised as interest expense in the 
income statement.
Low value and short-term leases are expensed to the income statement. These include leases on property of $199 
thousand (2024: $86 thousand) that are short term in nature.

Government grants are not recognised until there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the 
conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
The research and development tax incentive is recognised as income as it is expected to be received in cash.
Government grants are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a systematic basis 
over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to 
compensate. As some grants relate to costs capitalised to depreciable assets, amounts are recognised as deferred 
income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to the income statement on a systematic 
and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Income relating to grants is presented in the table below:

15. Equity
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received for the issue of new shares in 
the Company. Transaction costs relating to the listing of new ordinary shares and the simultaneous sale and listing 
of existing shares are allocated to those transactions on a proportional basis.
Transaction costs relating to the sale and listing of existing shares are not considered costs of an equity instrument 
as no equity instrument is issued and, consequently, costs are recognised as an expense in the statement of 
comprehensive income when incurred. Transaction costs relating to the issue of new share capital are recognised 
directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
During the year the Group allocated the following equity instruments to Serko employees (note 17) in respect of:
•	 the Restricted Share Plan (RSP), the Group allocated nil shares (2024: nil). Unallocated shares 
are 1,263,865 (2024: 1,263,865); and
•	 Restricted Share Units (RSUs), the Group allocated 2,903,814 (2024: 2,278,734).

16. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of 
the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted average number 
of shares that would be issued on conversion of all of the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. 
Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease EPS or 
increase the loss per share.
The following reflects the data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:
* Net tangible assets per security is a non-GAAP measure and is provided for NZX reporting purposes. Net tangible assets per security is calculated as 
Total assets less Total liabilities less Intangible assets divided by the issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) as at 31 March.

17. Share-based payments
Employees of the Group receive remuneration at the Board’s discretion in the form of share-based payment 
transactions, where services are provided as consideration for the receipt of equity instruments.
The cost of share-based payment transactions are recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, 
over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for share-based 
transactions at each reporting date, until the vesting date, reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired 
and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit for 
a period represents the movement in cumulative expenses recognised at the beginning and end of that period.
No cumulative expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest except where vesting is conditional upon 
a market condition.
Employee Restricted Share Plan
The employee restricted share plan has been superseded by the RSUs scheme. There are no future plans to allocate 
the shares held by the trustee. At year end there were 1,263,865 unallocated shares held by the trustee (2024: 
1,263,865 shares)
Employee Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
Under the employee incentive share scheme (EISS), CEO long-term incentive scheme (CLTI), and executive long-term 
incentive scheme (ELTI), RSUs are allocated to employees at grant date, which convert into ordinary shares in 
Serko at vesting date with a zero-exercise price. Awards will be taxable to the employee in the income year when 
the awards vest. 
Vesting conditions are based on:
•	 continued employment at vesting date; and / or
•	 performance hurdles, such as performance against share price targets based on absolute total shareholder return.
The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs issued during the year was determined by the volume weighted 
average price (VWAP) of shares traded in the previous 20 trading days preceding the designated grant date. 
Share-based payments with performance hurdles are initially recognised at fair value, subsequently measured and 
reassessed at each reporting date for the probability of meeting performance targets, with movements recognised in 
the Statement of comprehensive income.

Employee incentive share options scheme
There were no options granted during the year, as this scheme has been replaced with employees now receiving RSUs. 
Options are conditional on the completion of the necessary years of service (the vesting period) as appropriate to that 
tranche. The options are considered graded equity instruments that vest in tranches over two to five years from the 
grant date. No options can be exercised later than five years from the grant date. There were 14 holders of options at 
31 March 2025 (2024: 16).
The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.

19. Business combinations
The Group acquired 100% of the ownership interest in GetThere LP (GetThere) on 6 January 2025. GetThere 
was converted to GetThere LLC on 6 January 2025. The total acquisition price for GetThere and related business 
assets was USD $11.4 million, comprising USD $9.4 million in cash paid on acquisition date and USD $2.0 million 
to be paid on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, settled in either cash or ordinary shares of the Parent. 
Acquisition related costs (included in Other operating expenses in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive 
income and note 5), amounted to $2.6 million.
GetThere is an online booking tool with a customer base primarily in the United States and supports the Group’s 
plans to grow in the North American market. The purchase included the software, brand, intellectual property and the 
GetThere teams in the United States, India, Australia and the United Kingdom. 
GetThere contributed $4.8 million in revenue and $11.1 million in net loss for the year ended 31 March 2025. If the 
acquisition had occurred on 1 April 2024, the Group revenue and net loss for the 12 months ended 31 March 2025 is 
estimated to have been $103.4 million and $32.8 million, respectively. 
In conjunction with the acquisition of GetThere, Serko signed a transitional hosting services agreement, strategic 
partnership and collaboration agreement, and a developer agreement with Sabre. These agreements cover co-selling, 
joint development, continued hosting of the GetThere platform, and other collaboration activities between Sabre and 
Serko post-acquisition. The strategic partnership has been valued at $4.6 million and sits within other intangible 
assets (note 11).
The purchase consideration was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values 
as at the date of acquisition, with the excess consideration recorded to goodwill as shown below:

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash at bank and on hand, short-term deposits, derivatives, trade 
receivables and trade payables.
The Group’s capital consists of share capital and retained earnings. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the 
Group may adjust amounts of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or 
amend capital spending plans.
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and trade receivables are initially measured at fair value plus directly 
attributable transaction costs and then subsequently measured at amortised cost less any impairment.
19. Business combinations (continued)
The fair value of the acquired receivables was $3.1 million. The gross contractual value for the trade receivables due is 
$3.2 million, with a loss allowance of $0.1 million. 
The goodwill recognised as a result of the acquisition reflects the assembled workforce and the synergies expected to 
be achieved from integrating GetThere into the Group’s existing business. No goodwill is eligible to be deducted for tax 
purposes.
The cash consideration in the above note of $16.5 million differs from the amount presented in the Consolidated 
statement of cashflows of $17.3 million due to a net working capital adjustment that is receivable from the vendor 
at 31 March 2025.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are currency, interest rates, credit and liquidity risk. 
The Group uses different methods to measure and manage the different types of risks to which it is exposed. 
These include monitoring levels of exposure to currency risk and assessments of market forecasts for foreign 
exchange. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. 
Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
a. Risk exposures and responses
i. Interest rate risk
At balance date this year and the prior year, the Group did not have any financial liabilities exposed to variable 
interest rate risk.
Excess funds over the forecasted requirements are invested in short-term deposits with a mixture of maturity dates. 
All short-term deposits have fixed interest rates which means the Group’s exposure to movements in interest rates 
is limited. 
ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. In terms of managing 
its liquidity risk, the Group holds sufficient cash reserves to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities. 
Surplus funds are invested in term-deposits, with varying maturity dates based on forecasted cash flows, to manage 
liquidity risks.

cash flow basis:

b. Currency risk
The Group has exposure to currency risk as a result of transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The risk 
specifically relates to the variability of foreign exchange rates for the currencies the Group trades in and the impact 
this has on the Group’s financial results. The majority of the Group’s expenditure occurred in New Zealand dollars, 
however, sales to overseas customers are transacted in Euros, Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars and US dollars.
Refer to notes 7, 8, 9 and 12 for further details on the Group’s foreign currency denominated accounts receivable, 
cash and short-term deposit balances, and accounts payable.
The following table summarises the sensitivity to foreign currency exchange rate movements. A sensitivity of 
+/- 10% (2024: +/- 10%) has been selected based on what management consider to be a reasonable movement 
in exchange rates.
The sensitivity table below is excluding the impact of foreign exchange contracts:

21. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
c. Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash at bank, short-term deposits, derivative 
assets, trade receivables and contract assets. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the 
counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date 
is addressed in each applicable note.
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group monitors and manages the exposure to credit risk by ensuring customers have an appropriate credit 
history. Banking arrangements (including the investment of surplus funds) are monitored to ensure all banks have 
sufficient credit ratings and exposure to any one banking partner is limited. 
The Group’s other largest concentration of credit risk is with one customer, with $9.2 million receivable at 
31 March 2025 (2024: $7.2 million).
At reporting date, the Group’s cash and short-term deposits were held in several banks with the following distribution: 
The largest bank concentration makes up 60%, the second largest concentration is 20%, with the remaining 20% held 
in other banks (2024: 41% & 37% each held with two banks and 22% in other banks). A total of 88% (2024: 91%) of 
cash and short-term deposits is held by New Zealand and Australian banks with a Standard & Poors credit rating 
of at least ‘AA-’. The Group has no other significant concentrations of credit risk.
d. Fair value
The Board considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements approximate their fair value.
22. Events after balance sheet date
There were no other material events between the balance sheet date and the date these financial statements were 
authorised for issue.
23. Contingent liabilities
There were no contingent liabilities at balance date (2024: $nil).

Corporate 
Governance 
Statement 
For the year ended 31 March 2025 
This corporate governance statement has been 
prepared in accordance with the NZX Listing 
Rules and was approved by the Serko Board on 
20 May 2025.

Introduction
The Board and management of Serko Limited 
(Company or Serko) are committed to ensuring that 
Serko maintains best practice corporate governance 
and adheres to high ethical standards. 
Serko is required to report against the NZX Corporate 
Governance Code dated 31 January 2025 (NZX Code). 
The Board considers that Serko’s corporate governance 
structures, practices and processes have followed all 
of the Recommendations in the NZX Code during the 
financial year ended 31 March 2025 and as at the date 
of this Annual Report. 
As part of Serko’s commitment to best practice 
governance, it has adopted a substantive number of 
the Recommendations in the Australian Securities 
Exchange Corporate Governance Council Principles 
and Recommendations (Fourth Edition). 
An index setting out where each NZX Code Principle 
and Recommendation is addressed is set out on 
pages 86 – 87.
Stock exchange listing
Serko is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange 
(NZX Main Board) and on the ASX as an ASX Foreign 
Exempt Listing. As an NZX listed issuer and ASX 
Foreign Exempt issuer, Serko complies with the 
NZX Listing Rules and applicable ASX Listing Rules.
Serko is incorporated in New Zealand. 
Ethical standards
The Board recognises that high ethical standards and 
behaviours are central to good corporate governance.
Code of Ethics
Serko’s Code of Ethics outlines how Serko people, 
including its directors, employees, contractors 
and advisers are expected to conduct their 
professional lives.
The Code of Ethics is not intended to cover an 
exhaustive list of expectations on Serko people, 
but instead is designed to help inform their actions, 
behaviours and decision-making processes that are 
consistent with Serko’s Guiding Principles, strategic 
objectives and legal and policy obligations. It covers 
a range of matters, such as: 
1. setting out Serko’s Guiding Principles, the details of 
which are contained in our ESG Report and requires 
that Serko people ensure their behaviour, decisions 
and actions are guided by these principles; 
2. specific requirements such as: 
	
a. ensuring conflicts of interest are appropriately 
managed and do not interfere with Serko’s 
best interests; 
	
b. not accepting gifts or personal benefits that may 
compromise or influence business decisions;
	
c. using Serko property and information for 
legitimate and authorised purposes; 
	
d. maintaining security and confidentiality of 
information entrusted to employees in their roles; 
and
	
e. requiring Serko people to be familiar with, and 
comply with, all relevant laws and policies; and 
3. highlighting mechanisms to report any potential or 
actual breach of the Code of Ethics, including via its 
Whistleblowing Policy. 
The Board will be provided with timely information 
relating to any material breaches of the Code of Ethics. 
The Code of Ethics is available to all Serko people 
via the Company’s intranet and is provided to all new 
employees and directors. Onboarding training on the 
Code of Ethics is incorporated as part of the induction 
process for new employees. Regular training for existing 
Serko people is also incorporated into our ongoing 
compliance training schedule.

Corporate Governance Statement

Whistleblowing Policy
A stand-alone Whistleblowing Policy, which is overseen 
and monitored by the Board, exists to support the 
application of the Code of Ethics and defines the 
process for raising serious wrongdoings within 
Serko. It forms part of a broader ‘See Something, Say 
Something’ approach at Serko, designed to provide 
different mechanisms and channels to raise concerns, 
both formal and informal.
Under the Whistleblowing Policy, employees may 
choose to raise concerns with managers or members 
of the Executive Team, but they can also raise concerns 
and report serious wrongdoings via an independent 
external whistleblower hotline. A designated email 
address, accessible only by non-executive directors, is 
also available for staff to confidentially raise concerns. 
The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee is 
informed of all material incidents under this policy. 
Other ethical standards and policies
In addition, Serko also has the following ethical 
standards and policies in place:
1. Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy: Serko takes a 
zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and 
is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with 
integrity in all business dealings and relationships. 
This policy sets out our responsibilities, and the 
responsibilities of those working for and on our 
behalf, in observing and upholding our requirements 
on bribery and corruption, the giving or acceptance of 
gifts and dealing with government officials.
2. Modern Slavery Statement and Modern Slavery 
Policy: Serko’s Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed 
and updated annually and outlines Serko’s current 
position in relation to modern slavery risk, the steps 
taken and the planned future actions to identify and 
address the risks of slavery and human trafficking 
across our business operations and supply chains. 
Serko’s Modern Slavery Policy is reviewed biennially 
and outlines our commitment to identifying and 
addressing the risks of slavery and human trafficking 
across our business operations and supply chains. 
The risk of modern slavery to Serko is considered 
low because of our direct operations, value chain, 
the type of business we operate and the regions 
we operate in.  
3. Business Partner Code of Conduct: Serko’s Business 
Partner Code of Conduct is designed to communicate 
Serko’s expectations in relation to ethical and other 
behaviours to our partners. For more information 
about the work that is being completed in these 
areas, including Serko’s Business Partner Code 
of Conduct, supply chain initiatives and partner 
screening, please refer to the ‘Social’ section of our 
ESG Report, available at serko.com/investors.
Securities Trading Policy
We are committed to complying with legal and statutory 
requirements to ensure that directors and employees 
do not trade Serko securities while in possession of 
inside information.
Serko’s Securities Trading Policy applies to all 
directors, employees and contractors of Serko and its 
subsidiaries. The policy seeks to ensure that those 
subject to the policy do not trade in Serko securities 
if they hold undisclosed price-sensitive information. 
The policy sets out additional rules, including the 
requirement to seek Company consent before trading 
and prescribes certain black-out periods when trading is 
prohibited.
Compliance with the Securities Trading Policy 
is monitored through a consent process and via 
notification by Serko’s share registrar when any director 
or senior manager trades in Serko securities. All trading 
by directors and senior managers (as defined by the 
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013) is required to 
be reported to NZX (and ASX) and recorded in Serko’s 
securities trading registers. Regular securities trading 
training is provided to all Serko people, along with 
targeted internal communications.

Board appointments, training 
and evaluation
The Board is responsible for the nomination and 
appointment of directors to the Board. The Board 
Charter sets out the process of nomination and 
appointment of directors to the Board.
The Board will regularly review the structure, size 
and composition (including the skills, knowledge and 
experience) of the Board and formulate succession 
plans, taking into account the challenges and 
opportunities facing the Company and the skills and 
expertise required on the Board in the future to ensure 
that the Board has the appropriate balance of skills, 
knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to 
enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities 
effectively. The Board will identify external candidates 
to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise.
When considering candidates to act as a director, 
the Board will consider factors it deems appropriate, 
including the candidate’s background, experience 
and qualifications. Serko undertakes appropriate 
‘fit and proper’ background checks before appointing 
a director or putting forward any candidate for election 
as a director. 
The procedure for the appointment and removal of 
directors is ultimately governed by Serko’s Constitution 
and the NZX Listing Rules. All directors are elected by 
Serko’s shareholders (other than directors appointed by 
the Board, who must retire and stand for election at the 
next meeting of shareholders). Directors are subject to 
the rotation requirements set out in the NZX Listing Rules. 
At the time of appointment, each new director signs 
a comprehensive letter of appointment, setting out 
the terms of their appointment, including duties and 
expectations in the role. Each director receives the Code 
of Ethics, and other related governance documents, 
policies and procedures, and is introduced to the 
business through a tailored induction programme. 
All directors are regularly updated on relevant industry 
and Company issues and are expected to undertake 
training to remain current on how best to perform their 
duties as directors of Serko. All directors have access 
to senior management to discuss issues or obtain 
information on specific areas or items to be considered 
at Board meetings and each director actively utilises this 
access to support the Company and its Executive Team. 
The Board and Board Committees and each director 
have the right to seek independent professional advice, 
at Serko’s expense, to assist them in carrying out their 
responsibilities. 
Evaluation of the performance of the Board and its 
Committees is regularly undertaken. A performance 
review of the Board (individually and collectively) 
was carried out by the Chair of the Board for FY25. 
Each Committee’s performance is also reviewed by 
the Board on an annual basis against its Charter. 
65
Corporate Governance Statement

Four of Serko’s six directors (Claudia Batten (Chair), 
Jan Dawson, Clyde McConaghy and Sean Gourley) are 
considered by the Board to be independent directors 
for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and against 
the criteria set out in the NZX Code and in the Board 
Charter. This determination has been made on the basis 
that these directors are non-executive directors who 
are not substantial shareholders and who are free of 
any interest, business or other relationship that would 
materially interfere with or could reasonably be seen to 
materially interfere with, the independent exercise of 
their judgement. 
In making this determination, the Board has specifically 
considered the tenure of Claudia Batten and Clyde 
McConaghy on their ability to bring an independent view 
to decisions in relation to Serko. The Board considers 
that both directors continue to bring independence 
of judgement when carrying out their director duties. 
Of relevance to this determination is the fact that 
Claudia was not appointed as Chair of the Board until 
2020 and that the roles of Chair of the Committees 
were rotated during their tenure.
Independence of directors
The Board will review any determination it makes 
on a director’s independence on becoming aware of 
any new information that may affect that director’s 
independence. For this purpose, the directors are 
required to ensure they immediately advise Serko of 
any new or changed relationship that may affect their 
independence or result in a conflict of interest. 
The Board considers the roles of the Chair and the 
CEO should remain separate. The current Chair has 
been elected by the Board from the independent 
directors, in accordance with the terms of the Board 
Charter. The Chair’s role is to manage and provide 
leadership to the Board and to facilitate the Board’s 
interface with the CEO. 
Conflicts of Interest 
The Board is conscious of its obligations to ensure 
that directors avoid conflicts of interest (both real and 
perceived) between their duty to Serko and their own 
interests. The Board Charter outlines the Board’s policy 
on conflicts of interest. Serko maintains an Interests 
Register in which relevant disclosures of interest and 
securities dealings by the directors are recorded. In 
addition, the Board has developed a charter to govern 
the establishment and functioning of an independent 
committee to be formed, when required, to respond 
to activity determined to cause some directors to be 
conflicted. The independent committee is not 
a standing committee of the Board. 
Company Secretary 
The Company Secretary is responsible for supporting 
the effectiveness of the Board by ensuring that 
its policies and procedures are followed and for 
coordinating the completion and dispatch of the 
Board agendas and papers. The Company Secretary is 
directly accountable to the Board, via the Chair, on all 
governance matters.
Independence
4x Independent directors
2x Non-independent directors

Inclusion and diversity
Serko has an Inclusion and Diversity Policy that reflects its commitment to achieving 
diversity in skills, attributes and experience of our directors, Executive Team and 
employees across a broad range of criteria (including, but not limited to, culture, gender 
and age). The Board is responsible for overseeing and implementing the Inclusion and 
Diversity Policy, but has delegated to the People, Remuneration and Culture Committee 
the responsibility to develop and to recommend to the Board measurable objectives for 
achieving the principles set out in the policy. 
The Board is responsible for assessing Serko’s progress on an annual basis towards 
achieving the objectives. The Board has evaluated Serko’s progress towards achieving 
the principles set out in the Inclusion and Diversity Policy and determined that progress 
towards achieving the measurable objectives and other initiatives is appropriate. 
Serko’s performance against its measurable objectives, including relevant FY25 
achievements, is set out in our ESG Report.
As at 31 March 2025, the gender split across Serko’s Board and Executive Team was 
as follows:

Corporate Governance Statement

Board committees focus on specific areas of 
governance, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness 
of the operation of the Board. However, the Board 
retains ultimate responsibility for the functions of its 
committees and determines each committee’s roles 
and responsibilities. 
The current standing committees of the Board are: 
1. Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee; and 
2. People, Remuneration and Culture Committee. 
Details of the roles and responsibilities of these 
Committees are described in their respective Charters 
and are summarised below.
The Board has determined that the whole Board will 
carry out the functions of a nomination committee. 
As at the date of this report, the Board has determined 
that no other standing committees are required.
Audit, Risk and Sustainability 
Committee 
The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee advises 
and provides assurance to the Board, to enable the 
Board to fulfil its oversight responsibilities relating 
to Serko’s risk management and internal control 
framework, the integrity of its financial reporting, its 
auditing processes and sustainability matters (including 
management and monitoring of climate-related risks 
and opportunities). In carrying out its risk management 
functions, the Committee is specifically responsible 
for oversight of information security risk practices. The 
Committee receives regular updates from Serko’s Chief 
Information Security Officer on information security 
threats, risks and mitigation plans.
Under the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee 
Charter, the Committee must be comprised of a 
minimum of three members who are each non-executive 
directors, the majority of whom are also independent 
directors and at least one independent director with 
an adequate accounting or financial background. 
Further, the Chair of the Committee is required to be 
independent and not also be the Chair of the Board. The 
Chair of the Committee is not permitted to have been 
an audit partner or senior manager at Serko’s external 
audit firm within the past three years. The current 
members of the Committee are Jan Dawson (Chair), 
Clyde McConaghy, Claudia Batten and Sean Gourley, 
all of whom are independent, non-executive directors. 
Their qualifications and experience are set out on pages 
18 – 19 of this Annual Report. Jan Dawson is both an 
independent director and a financial expert.
People, Remuneration and 
Culture Committee 
The People, Remuneration and Culture Committee 
oversees remuneration and people-related policies and 
practices, executive succession planning and culture 
and employee wellbeing. The Committee is responsible 
for monitoring and evaluating Serko’s performance with 
respect to its Inclusion and Diversity Policy.
Under the People, Remuneration and Culture 
Committee Charter, the Committee must be comprised 
of a minimum of three members, all of whom are 
independent directors. The Chair of the Committee 
is required to be independent and may not also be 
the Chair of the Board. The current members of the 
Committee are Clyde McConaghy (Chair), Jan Dawson 
and Claudia Batten, all of whom are independent, 
non-executive directors. Sean Gourley will be 
appointed to replace Clyde McConaghy as the Chair 
of the People, Remuneration and Culture Committee 
following Mr McConaghy’s retirement at the 2025 
Annual Shareholders Meeting. Their qualifications and 
experience are set out on pages 18 – 19 of this 
Annual Report. 
Ad hoc committees 
From time to time, the Board may establish an ad hoc 
committee to deal with a particular issue that requires 
specialised knowledge and experience. 
During FY25, the Technology Advisory Committee 
assisted the Board in its oversight of Serko’s technology 
strategy and the use of technology in executing Serko’s 
overall business strategy during the financial year. 
This Committee was dissolved at the end of the 
financial year as the Board has determined there is 
sufficient technology capability on the Board.

by ensuring that the trading of Serko shares occurs in 
an efficient, competitive and well-informed market. 
The Board is tasked with ensuring the integrity of 
financial and non-financial reporting to shareholders. 
Market Disclosure Policy
Our Market Disclosure Policy guides Serko’s compliance

Charters and policies
Key corporate governance documents referred to 
in this Corporate Governance Statement, including 
policies and charters, are available on our website: 
serko.com/investors.
Financial reporting 
The Board is responsible for overseeing the integrity of 
Serko’s accounting and corporate reporting systems, 
including the preparation of the financial statements. 
As part of this process, the Chief Executive Officer 
and the Chief Financial Officer are required to state in 
writing to the Board that, to the best of their knowledge, 
Serko’s financial records are properly maintained and 
the financial reports: 
•	 present a true and fair view of Serko’s financial 
condition and operational results; 
•	 are prepared in accordance with the relevant 
accounting standards; and 
•	 are founded on a sound system of risk management 
and internal control that is operating effectively. 
The Board is committed to reporting Serko’s financial 
reports in a manner that is balanced, clear and 
objective, in accordance with relevant financial 
standards. The FY25 full-year financial statements are 
set out from page 22 of this Annual Report.
Non-financial reporting 
Serko’s Annual Report and ESG Report provide 
information about how Serko is performing on various 
non-financial matters, including environmental, social 
and governance (ESG) matters.
In its ESG Report, Serko sets out its approach 
and commitment to sustainability, aligning its 
ESG priority areas with the United Nations (UN) 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — a set 
of global sustainability initiatives set by the UN. 
A copy of the ESG Report is available on our website: 
serko.com/investors.
Climate reporting
Serko is a climate-reporting entity under the Financial 
Markets Conduct Act 2013 and accordingly publishes 
mandatory climate-related disclosures. This covers 
progress during the FY25 financial period and in 
compliance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate 
Standards issued by the External Reporting Board 
(climate standards). We have also published our FY25 
GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions inventory, which 
has been subject to a limited assurance engagement 
by Deloitte. These disclosures, including the GHG 
emissions inventory, are set out in our ESG Report which 
is available on our website: serko.com/investors.

Risk management
Serko is committed to proactively and consistently 
managing risk to: 
•	 enhance and protect Serko’s value by delivering 
on our commitments and meeting stakeholders’ 
expectations; 
•	 allow Serko to pursue opportunities in an informed 
way and aligned with the Board’s risk appetite; and 
•	 ensure a safe and secure environment for our people, 
partners and customers.
Risk Management Framework
Serko’s risk management programme, is operated in 
accordance with its Managing Risk Policy and Risk 
Management Framework (Framework). The Framework:
•	 articulates Serko’s process to identify, assess, control, 
monitor and report on risks that may affect the ability 
to achieve objectives; and 
•	 covers financial and non-financial risks, as well as 
those related to internal compliance systems.
On an annual basis Serko’s Board reviews and approves 
the risk appetite categories, target levels and appetite 
statements under the Framework.  
Serko’s management is responsible for developing 
mitigation strategies to manage risks within the Board’s 
defined risk appetite and tolerance levels. An extensive 
risk register is maintained by management with ongoing 
monitoring and review of all risks identified. 
If a business risk becomes a Top Risk, additional 
reporting and oversight is required. A Top Risk is a 
business risk that has been identified and assessed as 
having a critical or high residual rating. The Audit, Risk 
and Sustainability Committee can use their discretion 
and add a lower-rated risk to the Top Risk group should 
they believe visibility at Committee level is required. 
In its oversight function, the Audit, Risk and 
Sustainability Committee receives risk reports at 
each meeting, covering Serko’s Top Risks, monitoring 
results and trends, mitigation strategies, action plans 
and updates on the ongoing programme of work. This 
Committee reports back to the Board following each 
meeting, with the Board also having access to the 
Committee minutes.
Additional reporting on information security risk is 
provided to the Board monthly, covering progress 
on the security programme, key monitoring metrics 
and insights.

Summary of Serko’s Top Risks (continued)
The table below includes Serko’s Top Risks together with our climate related and health and safety business risks. 
74

External auditor independence
Serko has an External Audit Independence Policy that 
requires, and sets out the criteria for, the external 
auditor to be independent. The policy recognises the 
importance of the Board’s role in facilitating frank 
dialogue among the Audit, Risk and Sustainability 
Committee, the auditor and management.
The policy prescribes the services that can and cannot 
be undertaken by the external auditor, which are 
designed to ensure that services provided by Serko’s 
external auditor are not perceived as conflicting with its 
independent role. 
The policy requires that the key audit partner is changed 
at least every five years so that no such persons shall 
be engaged in an audit of Serko for more than five 
consecutive years. In addition, there must be three 
years between the rotation of an audit partner and that 
partner’s next engagement by Serko. In accordance 
with this policy, and the NZX Listing Rules, the key audit 
partner rotated at the end of the FY22 audit. Serko last 
changed its audit firm in 2017. 
The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee Charter 
requires the Committee to facilitate the continuing 
independence of the external auditor by assessing 
the external auditor’s independence and qualifications 
and overseeing and monitoring its performance. This 
involves monitoring all aspects of the external audit, 
including the appointment of the auditor, the nature and 
scope of its audit and reviewing the auditor’s service 
delivery plan. In carrying out these responsibilities, 
the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee meets 
regularly with the auditor without executive directors 
or management present, and the key audit partner has 
direct contact with the Chair of the Audit, Risk and 
Sustainability Committee.
The auditor is restricted in the non-audit work it may 
perform, as detailed in the policy. For further details 
on the audit fees paid and work undertaken during 
the period, refer to our FY25 Financial Statements 
contained in this Annual Report. The Audit, Risk and 
Sustainability Committee regularly monitors the ratio of 
fees for audit to non-audit work. 
The lead audit partner will be present at Serko’s Annual 
Shareholders Meeting to answer questions from 
shareholders in relation to the audit.
Internal audit
Serko does not have a dedicated internal audit function. 
Instead, internal controls are managed on a day-to-day 
basis predominantly by the finance, legal, compliance 
and security teams. Compliance with certain internal 
controls is reviewed annually by Serko’s external auditor. 
The Board, finance, legal, compliance and security 
teams regularly consider how Serko can improve its 
internal assurance and risk management practices 
during Serko’s annual governance review, quarterly risk 
reviews, preparation of interim and full-year financial 
statements and following Serko’s annual financial audit. 
The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee oversees 
these reviews and the controls Serko has in place to 
manage risk.

Corporate Governance Statement

Information for shareholders
Serko is committed to maintaining a full and open 
dialogue with our shareholders (and other interested 
stakeholders) and we have in place an investor 
relations programme to facilitate effective two-way 
communications with shareholders. The aim of Serko’s 
investor relations and communications programme 
is to provide shareholders with information about 
Serko and to enable them to actively engage with 
Serko and exercise their rights as shareholders in 
an informed manner. We facilitate communications 
with shareholders through written and electronic 
communications and by facilitating shareholder access 
to directors, management and Serko’s auditor. 
We provide shareholders with communications through 
the following channels: 
•	 the investor section of Serko’s website; 
•	 full-year reporting and half-year results; 
•	 the Annual Shareholders Meeting; 
•	 regular disclosures on Serko’s performance and news 
via stock exchange online disclosure platforms;  
•	 disclosure of presentations provided to analysts and 
investors during regular briefings; and
•	 Serko’s Investor Day held with significant investors.
Serko’s website is an important part of Serko’s 
shareholder communications strategy. Included on 
the website is a range of information relevant to 
shareholders and others concerning the operation 
of Serko. Serko has published on its website this 
Corporate Governance Statement, which outlines 
our governance practices, as well as our ESG Report, 
predominantly focused on climate-related disclosures 
and our social responsibility practices. 
Shareholders may, at any time, direct questions 
or requests for information to directors or 
management through Serko’s website or by 
emailing investor.relations@serko.com.
We provide shareholders with the option to receive 
communications from, and send communications 
to, Serko and its share registrar electronically. 
The majority of Serko shareholders have elected 
to receive electronic communications. 
Shareholder protections and 
voting rights 
All ordinary shares on issue have the same voting rights, 
each conferring on the registered holder an equal right 
to vote on any resolution at a meeting of shareholders. 
In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, Serko’s 
Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, Serko refers 
major decisions that may change the nature of Serko 
to shareholders for approval. 
Serko conducts voting at its shareholder meetings by 
way of polls, reflecting the principle of one share, one 
vote. Further information on shareholder voting rights 
is set out in Serko’s Constitution. 
Serko did not raise any capital during FY25. 
Annual Shareholders Meeting 
Serko’s 2025 Annual Shareholders Meeting will be 
conducted as a hybrid meeting, enabling shareholders 
to attend in person or participate in the meeting 
virtually. A hybrid meeting is considered to provide 
the broadest opportunity for shareholder engagement 
with Serko. 
Shareholders will be given an opportunity at the meeting 
to ask questions and comment on relevant matters. 
In addition, Serko’s lead audit partner from Deloitte will 
attend the meeting and will be available to answer any 
questions about the Audit Report.

PRAC Committee Chair’s Letter
As Chair of Serko’s People, Remuneration 
and Culture Committee (PRAC Committee), 
I am pleased to present to you Serko’s 
Remuneration Report, covering the financial 
year ended 31 March 2025.
It has been a pivotal year for Serko as we finalised 
the acquisition of GetThere and expanded our global 
footprint and entry into new markets. We welcomed 
new employees in India, Australia, the UK and the US 
who joined Serko in early 2025. This is a positive step 
for Serko increasing the diversity of experience and 
capability of our people. We have ambitious plans to 
further increase the size of our team in India over the 
next few years as we build our Global Capability Centre 
(GCC) in Bengaluru.
Serko continued to focus on our remuneration 
practices I outlined last year to ensure they evolve 
to support a global workforce.
•	 We have enhanced our performance management 
practices by focusing on both the ‘what’ (goals, 
KPIs, contributions) and the ‘how’ (embedding our 
guiding principles, demonstration of capabilities) 
in reviews. Group talent discussions with leaders 
ensure consistent and aligned outcomes.
•	 We have improved our Gender Equity reporting 
to reflect our growing global presence by moving 
to a weighted average calculation methodology, so 
we can more accurately track the impact of diversity 
and pay practices by country and ensure equitable 
hiring and equal pay for equal work.
•	 We have also developed a Global Reward Philosophy 
to bring together our reward practices into a 
digestible document for employees and leaders 
to ensure transparency and clarity of how reward 
operates globally at Serko.
•	 We are assessing sustainability as a concept for 
inclusion in future measures for incentives. As we 
work through integration and alignment, we will 
consider how the inclusion of sustainability might be 
incorporated into incentives in line with current trends 
and regulations.
Organisational performance
Serko’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) continued 
to focus on income generation, cost-efficiency, growing 
both our managed and non-managed travel customers, 
and continuing to embed a culture where the use of 
data and AI is fundamental to how we operate.
The achievement against our Company scorecard this 
year resulted in a 52% achievement, a lower figure than 
we expected. Despite considerable progress across the 
Company, the KPIs bore different weights (importance) 
and the results fell short of expectation. Hence, our 
reward outcomes for our Employee Incentive Share 
Scheme (EISS) and Short-Term Incentive (STI) were in 
line with this result. More details on the scorecard and 
the outcomes are provided on page 99.
Non-executive director remuneration
An increase in the director fee pool to $650k AUD was 
approved by Shareholders at the Annual Shareholders 
Meeting in 2024. This increase ensures we remain 
focused on our capacity to support the governance and 
strategy that is necessary to compete in our sectors and 
to attract and retain strong international director talent.

Clyde McConaghy 
Chair • People, Remuneration 
and Culture Committee
The Board approved a special fee of AUD $20,000 in 
shares to each non-executive director to compensate 
them for the significant additional work required for 
the GetThere acquisition. This was funded from the 
approved director fee pool. Details are provided in the 
non-executive director remuneration section of the 
report on pages 107 – 108.
Executive remuneration
We made our first grant to Executives under the new 
Executive Long-Term Incentive (ELTI) scheme in FY25 
that provides stronger alignment with shareholders 
through an absolute shareholder return (aTSR) measure 
with half the award based on results in the third year. 
As a reminder, executives were no longer eligible for 
the Serko Employee Incentive Share Scheme (EISS) 
as a result. Details on how the ELTI operates is provided 
on page 96 of this report.
The CEO’s base salary will have a nominal increase 
of 2% for FY26. Instead of substantially increasing 
the CEO’s base salary to align with market, the PRAC 
Committee decided to increase the at-risk component 
of the CEO’s package and consequently the FY25 LTI 
grant will be increased from a target of 100% of base 
salary to 200% of base salary under a special CEO 
Long-Term Incentive (CLTI). 
Under the CLTI, the CEO has more at-risk remuneration 
to align performance to growth aspirations at Serko 
that will drive shareholder value. This includes but 
is not limited to the acquisition and integration of 
the GetThere business. Further details on this are 
included on page 96 of this Remuneration Report.
Remuneration outlook
The PRAC Committee’s focus for FY26 is to ensure 
Serko’s remuneration practices evolve to support global 
effectiveness as we scale. Our focus for FY26 is to:
1.	 refine our job architecture to ensure it supports 
our growth and internal career progression;
2.	 align benefits to ensure global consistency where 
practical, acknowledging local market practices and 
requirements will mean this is not necessarily the 
same across all countries;
3.	 implement a global sales incentive to deliver on 
our growth ambitions with our US Sales team; and
4.	 further embed AI and data deeply into our 
operations and as a core capability expectation.
The PRAC Committee regularly reviews our disclosures 
against the NZX Corporate Governance Institute 
Remuneration Reporting Template. We have enhanced 
our disclosures to provide more transparency on 
our Company scorecard that forms the basis of our 
Company multiplier for incentive outcomes. This new 
detail can be found on page 99 of this report.
As always, we are keen to maintain an open dialogue 
with shareholders to understand their perspectives 
on our remuneration practices. Should you have any 
questions, you can contact the PRAC Committee 
directly at RemChair@Serko.com.

Remuneration report

Governance
Serko’s People, Remuneration and Culture Committee 
(PRAC Committee) is responsible for reviewing and 
approving the Group’s remuneration principles and 
framework and reviewing and approving the provision 
of any significant employee benefits outside of 
that framework. The PRAC Committee also reviews 
and approves Serko’s Remuneration Policy. The 
PRAC Committee is also accountable for ensuring 
the remuneration framework is aligned with the 
remuneration principles outlined on the following page.
The PRAC Committee operates under a written Charter, 
which is available in our Investor Centre: 
serko.com/investors.
The PRAC Committee  makes recommendations 
to the Board in relation to the remuneration of the 
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Company’s 
broader Executive Team (in consultation with the 
CEO). This includes recommendations related to 
equity-based incentive schemes and the discretionary 
annual incentive, including whether offers under the 
incentive plans are made each year. They also make 
recommendations regarding the fixed remuneration 
pools for all Serko employees. Company-wide 
performance measures and targets that relate 
to incentives are reviewed annually by the PRAC 
Committee and approved by the Board.
The Board retains ultimate responsibility for the 
remuneration arrangements of the CEO in relation 
to their terms of employment, remuneration and 
participation in the Group’s incentive programmes, 
including the setting and evaluating of performance 
targets. 
The current members of the PRAC Committee are:
•	 Clyde McConaghy (Chair);
•	 Jan Dawson; and
•	 Claudia Batten.
All members are independent, non-executive directors. 
For more information on the roles and responsibilities 
of the Board and the PRAC Committee with respect to 
remuneration practices, as well as PRAC Committee  
attendance, see our Corporate Governance Statement, 
on page 68 – 89 of this Annual Report.

Remuneration strategy and framework
Serko’s Purpose is to bring people together. This Purpose is underpinned by our vision and mission, our Guiding 
Principles and our strategic goals. Serko’s remuneration strategy and framework is designed to attract and retain 
high-calibre talent who are empowered, motivated and driven to deliver against these strategic goals and OKRs 
and ultimately create long-term shareholder value.
Serko’s Remuneration Policy outlines the following remuneration principles that apply to all employees, including 
executives, which are underpinned by Serko’s Guiding Principles, to ensure remuneration practices at Serko are fair 
and equitable and that reward is differentiated for higher individual and Company performance. This policy has a 
separate section for the Executive Team and also outlines the treatment of non-executive director remuneration.
Each year, the PRAC Committee conducts a review of Serko’s Remuneration Policy to assess whether any changes 
are required to ensure it continues to deliver a remuneration structure that is consistent with the policy principles. 
To align further with the NZX Remuneration Reporting Template, the policy was amended to include a separate 
section for the Executive Team.

Remuneration report

Remuneration structure and policy
Serko’s remuneration framework is applied to all 
employees, including its Executive Team, which includes 
the CEO and his direct reports. Its global banding 
structure ensures roles are mapped into specific bands 
with broadly equivalent work scope and complexity. 
Pay ranges for each band are determined based on 
local benchmarking of market rates.
Total remuneration at Serko includes a mix of fixed 
remuneration and variable at-risk remuneration, 
delivered via Serko’s incentive programmes. The 
proportion of at-risk remuneration increases with the 
seniority of employees. Variable at-risk components are 
tied to the Company’s performance, as well as individual 
performance. This approach is designed to support the 
‘pay for performance’ policy and to ensure delivery of 
shareholder value over both the short and long-term.
Company and individual short-term objectives are 
agreed annually. The PRAC Committee  reviews 
performance against the Company’s objectives 
following the release of the results for the first six 
months of the financial year and again at the financial 
year end.
Individual performance for employees is tracked 
and assessed throughout the year via coaching and 
continuous feedback sessions with managers. 
A formal annual assessment of performance and 
recommended remuneration and incentive outcomes 
for each member of the Executive Team is completed 
by the CEO. These are approved by the PRAC Committee 
during the end-of-year review process. The performance 
and remuneration of the CEO and Chief Strategy Officer 
(CSO) is reviewed and approved by the Board annually, 
following recommendation from the PRAC Committee. 
A performance evaluation was undertaken in 
accordance with this process for each member 
of the Executive Team during the reporting period.
Remuneration benchmarking
The PRAC Committee reviews market benchmarking 
for Serko’s pay bands for employees and key roles, 
including executives on a regular basis to ensure trends 
in the market are tracked and identified and can be 
responded to accordingly. 
In FY25, the Board did not engage any external 
independent remuneration consultants for bespoke 
executive benchmarking.
Serko continues to use technology specific market 
data through Radford (a global remuneration 
consultancy) to underpin Serko’s career and 
remuneration framework. This data is released 
regularly for market benchmarking purposes.
This Remuneration Report contains disclosures of those 
employees (other than employees who are directors) 
who received remuneration and any other benefits in 
their capacity as employees, the value of which was or 
exceeded $100,000 per annum, in brackets of $10,000, 
as required by the Companies Act 1993. Please refer to 
page 104.

The following table summarises each component of employee remuneration, including for the Executive Team:
In addition to offering RSUs, Serko has historically also offered share options to US employees. No share options 
were offered during the period, as RSUs were offered in their place. The number of share options currently on issue 
is detailed in the Corporate Governance Statement section of this Annual Report on page 80.

Executive Long-Term Incentive
The Executive Long-Term Incentive (ELTI) was introduced for the Executive Team in FY24, replacing their eligibility for 
the Employee Incentive Share Scheme (EISS). The second grant will be issued in FY26. 
The PRAC Committee designed the ELTI based on the following principles: 
•	 remaining competitive within the technology industry to attract and retain high calibre executive talent;
•	 motivating and rewarding performance to incentivise the delivery of Serko’s long-term strategic objectives; and
•	 strengthening alignment of rewards with long-term shareholder value. 
The vehicle for the ELTI is RSUs, which will convert to ordinary shares in Serko Limited on vesting.
The RSU grant value for each Executive Team member is based on a target percentage of base salary and is subject 
to certain pre-grant gateways. Once granted, the RSUs will vest in three tranches over three years from the grant date, 
as follows:
CEO Long-Term Incentive
The CEO Long-Term Incentive (CLTI) has been introduced for the CEO for FY25, replacing his eligibility for the ELTI.
The PRAC Committee designed the CLTI based on the following principles: 
•	 increasing the at-risk component of the CEO’s remuneration package; and
•	 to further incentivise increasing long-term shareholder value.
The vehicle for the CLTI is RSUs, which will convert to ordinary shares in Serko Limited on vesting.
The RSU grant value for the CEO is based on a target percentage of 200% of base salary and is subject to certain 
pre-grant gateways. Once granted, the RSUs will vest in three tranches over three years from the grant date, as follows:

Performance 
Criteria
Rewards the achievement of Company performance based on a 
Company scorecard of metrics (measuring ‘what’ outcomes are 
achieved) including longer-term strategic deliverables. Includes 
individual performance objectives and measures (measuring ‘what’ 
outcomes are achieved and ‘how’ those outcomes are achieved).
aTSR is a performance metric used to 
evaluate stock performance for investors 
that factors in both capital gains and 
dividends to measure the overall returns 
an investor earns on their investment.
aTSR will be measured based on share 
price appreciation and the applicable target 
share price levels and thresholds. These 
target levels will be calculated based on a 
weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
WACC represents a company’s cost of 
capital from all sources, including common 
stock and all forms of debt. As such, WACC 
is the average rate that a company expects 
to pay to finance its business.

The Serko team delivered solid results, meeting and exceeding expectations in some areas, despite falling just 
below threshold in two KPIs. Our overall performance resulted in a 52% Company multiplier.
Our FY25 deliverables and exit run rate have set a solid foundation for FY26, positioning us for continued success and 
growth. We remain committed to recognising and rewarding outcomes that are aligned with our strategic goals and 
shareholder interests.
Company performance scorecard
For FY25, the Company scorecard consisted of both Financial metrics and Non-Financial objectives weighted 
at 50% each.
Each measure has a defined threshold, target and stretch / maximum target. Achievement below the threshold results 
in a 0% outcome for that component. No STI or LTI is payable if the minimum annual gross revenue and cash reserve 
targets are not met. These gateway targets were met for FY25.
The Company measures and outcomes applied for FY25 were as follows:

Remuneration report

CEO remuneration outcomes for FY25
This section outlines the remuneration received by the CEO, Darrin Grafton, who is also an executive director of Serko 
for FY25. Darrin Grafton received remuneration and other benefits in his capacity as CEO in line with the Remuneration 
Policy and, accordingly, does not receive separate directors’ fees. 
The CEO had an STI with an on-target payment of 50% of base salary, up to a maximum of 75% of base salary if 
outperformance occurs against both the Company and individual performance measures. 
The CEO’s LTI has been increased to an on-target payment of 200% of base salary remuneration up to a maximum of 
138% of target value. The target remuneration will differ from that disclosed in the FY24 Annual Report as the CLTI 
was approved by the Board after this was published. 
The table below shows the CEO’s target and maximum total remuneration for FY25:
No termination payments are payable to the CEO (or for any other Executive Team member) in the event of serious 
misconduct. As noted above, the RSU Scheme Rules enable clawback of awards / net proceeds of sale of shares in 
the event of misconduct.

1. Analysis includes all permanent full-time, permanent part-time 
employees and fixed-term employees at full-time equivalent salaries.
Gender gap and pay equity
We are committed to ensuring we pay our people 
equitably. For FY25 we have enhanced our gender pay 
and pay equity gap calculation methodologies to reflect 
our growing global presence and the relative impact of 
country pay gaps. 
For both pay equity and gender pay we are now using 
a weighted average, so each gap is calculated and then 
weighted based on the number of employees in each 
country as a percentage relative to the total number 
of employees at Serko.
This also supports visibility at both a country and 
organisational level to better identify and track 
trends and take appropriate action.
To calculate pay equity we compare individual pay 
to the midpoint of our career-level pays bands for each 
country and compare the median gap between males 
and females. This ensures we are comparing roles 
of comparable scope and complexity relative to the 
market pay in each country.
Using the new methodology (and including the 
GetThere team) when employees are benchmarked to 
the median of our career-level pay bands by country, 
the median remuneration gap between males and 
females increased from 0% to 2.05%1. This is also 
partially impacted by some highly paid male strategic 
hires from large technology companies.
Our gender pay gap increased from 13.3% in 
FY24 to 17.9%1 in FY25 partially due to the new 
calculation methodology as well as the inclusion of 
the GetThere team. The gap is also impacted by the 
relative distribution of females and males at different 
career levels both within countries and across 
the organisation.
Serko’s Pay and Gender Equity Statement can be 
viewed at serko.com/careers. We also support the 
New Zealand Mind The Gap reporting initiative and 
contribute to this.

and diversity initiatives, see our latest ESG Report,

Non-executive director remuneration
The fees paid to non-executive directors are structured to reflect the global nature of Serko’s business and the 
time commitment and level of governance required by the Serko Board. 
In July 2024, Serko’s shareholders approved an increase to the total fee pool for non-executive directors from 
NZD$600,000 to AUD$650,000 per annum for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules. This was proposed based 
on market benchmarking and reflected the increased size and complexity of Serko’s business as well as providing 
headroom for the appointment of additional non-executive directors and the formation of new committees from time 
to time should they be required. The fee pool had not increased since 2021.
Effective 1 July 2024, the Board approved increasing the fixed annual fees payable to the non-executive directors. 
Previously the Board Chair was paid a base fee of $140,000 plus $18,000 (total $158,000) in Committee fees. 
Under the new fee policy the Chair’s fee is inclusive of all Committee fees. For transparency the previous fees are 
provided in brackets:

1. The figures shown are gross amounts, which have been converted into NZD from AUD and exclude GST (where applicable).
2. The Board approved a special exertion fee for directors for the work undertaken during the acquisition of GetThere and entry into the strategic 
partnership with Sabre Corporation.
In addition to directors’ fees, Serko meets costs incurred by non-executive directors that are incidental to the 
performance of their duties. This includes paying the costs of directors’ travel. As these costs are incurred by Serko to 
enable directors to perform their duties, no value is attributable to them as benefits to directors for the purposes of the 
above table.
The non-executive directors do not receive any performance-based remuneration to ensure incentives do not conflict 
with their obligations to bring independent judgement to matters before the Board. However, it is Serko’s policy to 
encourage directors to hold shares in the Company to increase alignment with shareholder interests.
Director shareholdings are disclosed in the Corporate Governance Statement contained in this Annual Report.
No retirement benefits will be paid to non-executive directors on their retirement unless required under legislation.

By exception, non-executive directors may receive special exertion fees for ad hoc committee meetings attended 
(for example, in relation to capital raisings or merger and acquisition (M&A) activity) or other substantial additional  
work required in addition to their Board and Committee responsibilities. Where special exertion fees are paid, they are 
required to fall within the shareholder-approved fee pool. 
The Board approved a special fee allocation of AUD$20,000 of shares to each non-executive director to compensate 
them for the significant time and effort devoted to the Company in their role overseeing the acquisition of the 
GetThere business and entry into the strategic partnership with Sabre Corporation (NYSE:SABRE). The non-executive 
directors elected to take shares in lieu of cash to signal their support for the strategic direction of the Company. 
The total value of remuneration paid to the non-executive directors during the reporting period did not exceed the 
approved fee pool.
Non-executive directors received the following directors’ fees, remuneration and other benefits from the Company in 
the year ended 31 March 2025:
