Trainline Plc (TRN.L), an independent rail and coach travel platform ticket seller, reported that its group net ticket sales for fiscal year 2025 increased 12% to 5.9 billion pounds, from last year, on constant currency and reported bases, within the company's previously upgraded guidance range. Annual group revenue was 442 million pounds, an increase of 12% year-over-year or 11% on a reported basis.
The company anticipates group adjusted EBITDA as a % of net ticket sales for fiscal year 2025 to be marginally ahead of the company's previously upgraded guidance of about 2.6%. Trainline continues to expect adjusted EBITDA of between 2.6% and 2.7% of net ticket sales in fiscal year 2026.
Trainline announced a new share buyback program of up to 75 million pounds, supported by its continued strong cash generation. The new program is due to commence on completion of the current program and is to run over the subsequent twelve-month period.
The company announced in May 2024 the launch of a share buyback program of up to 75 million pounds. This program commenced on 14th June 2024 following the completion of the group's maiden 50 million pounds buyback program. As at Friday 7th March 2025, the company had bought back and cancelled 69 million pounds of shares under the new program.
Trainline reported Thursday that its UK Consumer net ticket sales for fiscal year 2025 were 3.9 billion pounds, 13% higher than the prior year. This reflected the continued consumer shift towards digital tickets, with industry eticket penetration increasing to 52% of ticket sales in fiscal year 2025, from 47% in 2024.
UK Consumer for fiscal year 2025 revenue was 208 million pounds, up 12%. Increasing non-commission revenues, including insurance and hotel bookings, helped to largely offset the dilutive effect of proportionally faster growth in commuter and on-the-day travel, which as previously explained generate relatively lower rates of revenue than longer-distance travel.
Annual International Consumer net ticket sales were 1.1 billion pounds, 4% higher the prior year or 1% on a reported basis, as Trainline actively managed its marketing investment in European markets as the Company awaits the expected arrival of more new entrant carrier competition.
International Consumer revenue was 53 million pounds, up 12% year-over-year or 9% on a reported basis, outpacing net ticket sales given a step up in ancillary revenues, primarily hotel bookings.
The company will publish its Full Year results for the financial year 2025 --the twelve-month period running from 1st March 2024 to 28th February 2025--on Wednesday 7th May 2025.
