NEW YORK, December 16, 2022 — Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global Internet media company that provides exclusive offers and experiences for members, updates its guidance for the current quarter ending December 31, 2022, as follows: For Q4 2022, we expect substantially higher revenue of approx. $18.5 million, up 31% year-over-year.

Travelzoo provides this update to clarify that its revenue trend is different from travel suppliers or online travel agencies. As a media and membership business, Travelzoo is benefiting from demand for travel weakening from the heights of the post-pandemic pent-up demand. Travel suppliers are increasingly in need again to promote their offers to Travelzoo members.

Holger Bartel, Global CEO, said: “We have more and better offers for our members again, and revenue growth is accelerating.”

Attractive merger. On November 25, 2022, the company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Azzurro Capital Inc, the company’s current largest shareholder. Travelzoo will issue 3.41 million shares in exchange for $10 million and Metaverse Travel Experiences (MTE), a fully owned subsidiary of Azzurro. Following the merger, Azzurro will own slightly more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Assuming shareholder approval, the transaction should close by year end. 

Terms of the deal. The $10 million can be paid in a combination of cash and promissory notes, at the election of Azzurro. There must be a minimum of $2 million in cash received at the time of closing. The remaining $8 million would be in secured promissory notes that would be repaid in two installments, March and June of 2023. The structure of the deal should allow Travelzoo to absorb the significant NOLs of the acquired company.

Misses Fiscal Q3. Revenues increased a modest 1% to $15.8 million, versus our $18.0 million estimate. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 6% to $16.7 million. Adj. EBITDA missed our estimate, $1.1 million versus our $2.7 million estimate, largely due to lower than expected gross profit margins, which were over 200 basis points lower than expected.

Business too good? Management indicated that the recent results were impacted by a strong rebound in travel, which increased occupancy rates and at very high prices. As such, travel related businesses did not need to advertise and they were unwilling to provide discounted “deals”. This was a consistent message from the “miss” in the second quarter, as well.
