Serko said on October 26, 2026, in an announcement published by NZX that first-half trading was stronger than anticipated. The corporate travel software company expects to make a modest upward revision to its FY27 total income guidance range of NZD 128 million to NZD 134 million when it reports interim results on November 16, 2026.

Core trading takes the lead

The improvement was driven by an acceleration in completed room nights, according to the announcement. Serko expects that momentum to continue into the second half, with underlying growth continuing on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Management also expects total spend to land toward the middle of its existing NZD 132 million to NZD 140 million range. The company expects positive free cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2026, and for the full FY27 financial year.

US initiative remains early

Serko said its FY27 guidance had initially been influenced by the timing of booking volumes from a strategic initiative targeting defined US corporate segments. The initiative remains in its early stages and is not expected to contribute meaningfully to FY27 total income, leaving the core business as the main expected driver of growth.

The November 16 release is therefore the next material checkpoint for investors. It should provide the revised income outlook, further detail on cash generation and an update on the strategic initiatives.
