Summary
Helloworld Travel Limited provided a trading update on 5 June 2026, reporting an expected Underlying EBITDA for the full financial year within the range of $57 to $62 million, influenced by disruptions in travel due to a Middle East conflict. Initially, the company had provided guidance of $64 to $72 million, which was reaffirmed in February 2026. The conflict led to a significant number of flight cancellations and re-bookings, impacting earnings. Despite this, forward bookings from July 2026 are showing an increase compared to the previous year. Helloworld expects leisure travel demand to recover swiftly once the conflict is resolved. The company continues to manage its costs and intends to pay a final dividend for FY26 similar to the interim dividend, subject to board approval.
