Luxembourg, 24 February 2022 - HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG), the marketplace with the world's largest selection of alternative accommodation, today announced that IFRS Revenue in Q4'21 more than doubled year-on-year to EUR 21 million (+150% vs. Q4'20), as the Group continued on its strong growth trajectory. HomeToGo had previously announced on 12 January 2022 record Booking Revenue of EUR 23 million in Q4'21 and EUR 123 million for the full year 2021.

Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-Founder & CEO of HomeToGo: "We had a strong finish in the final three months of 2021, after a quarter that has been remarkable in many ways. Overall we more than doubled our IFRS Revenue. The whole team is especially thrilled about the performance in our onsite business during a particularly challenging year for travel. Looking ahead, we're convinced that, fueled by the travel rebound outlook and our ambitious strategic agenda, we will achieve significant strides towards our vision of making incredible homes easily accessible to everyone."

Having ended the financial year 2021 with another strong quarter, IFRS Revenue for the full year reached EUR 95 million, representing an increase of 44% year-on-year and ahead of the full year guidance (around the higher end of a range of €85-90m) and well ahead of the original guidance for 2021, which was set at €80m. The preliminary, underlying adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at EUR -22 million.

After having proven the resilience of its business model in 2021 and in light of a continuously improving market context for cross-border traveling and ongoing reopenings, January 2022 started with the highest Booking Revenue month in HomeToGo's history. Based on this excellent start, HomeToGo is striving for another strong year and continued market share gains in the alternative accommodation market. An outlook for the financial year 2022 will be published with the publication of the Annual Report for the fiscal year 2021 on 31 March 2022.
