The Company achieved a number of records in the period, including the highest-ever levels of bookings, mobile bookings, revenues and subscribers. The continued and rapid sales growth, coupled with sharply improved margins, resulted in accelerating profitability. The business achieved 16.2 million record bookings, a +29% increase over the previous 2022 high and 42% above pre-COVID levels, and continued to outperform the broader travel market. Although the European and global travel markets are still below pre-pandemic levels, eDreams ODIGEO has achieved above 2019 levels for 7 consecutive quarters, the only major travel company to achieve this, demonstrating the Company's market-leading position and the strength of its customer proposition. The key driver of the Company's outperformance is 'Prime', the world's first and largest travel subscription programme, which performed outstandingly with the addition of 1.7 million new subscribers, exceeding 4.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter, which represents 64% more than just one year ago. eDreams ODIGEO's continued progress and success enable it to reconfirm its guidance for the fiscal year 2025: greater than 7.25 million Prime members, around €80 ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) and Cash EBITDA in excess of €180 million.
