FY21 results

In a challenging environment, Flight Centre reported total revenue of $395.9 million, a far cry from the $1.89 billion it earned in FY20. It’s completely understandable given COVID.

The leisure segment contributed around 40% of revenue and corporate chipped in with 55%, the remaining balance relates to other revenue.

Whilst the current situation in Australia paints a bleak outlook ahead, the rest of the world have been flying around.

As you can in the above graphs, the total transaction volume across Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) continue to climb.

The cut in expenses, mainly employee costs, sales and marketing and other expenses helped improve net profit after tax from -$662 million to -$433 million.

Management is targeting monthly profitability in both corporate and leisure during FY22, which is reliant on the efficacy of the vaccination.

My thoughts

The travel industry is hurting a lot at the moment but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The trends illustrated above paint a positive outlook.

Flight Centre may seem to be cheap relative to previous prices but on an enterprise to revenue multiple, it’s actually trading near record highs.

In any event, Flight Centre’s future is dependent on so many external factors outside of its control. As a result, it’s not something I fancy.
