STATE OF COMPANYS AFFAIRS Overview of Operations

During the FY 2026, the Company continued to strengthen its position as a global B2B travel distribution platform connecting a fragmented ecosystem of travel buyers and suppliers through a unified technology, payments, credit and service layer. During the year, the Company further expanded its global demand and supply footprint and strengthened its positioning in premium and assisted travel through expansion of curated luxury supply, development of connected journey capabilities, and the acquisition of Classic Vacations in the United States.

Business Performance

During FY 2026, the Company maintained business momentum despite macro disruptions across parts of the global travel market. The business remained supported by its geographically diversified demand with Europe continuing as a key source market, Asia Pacific and the United Kingdom & Ireland delivering strong momentum, and India showing recovery over the course of the year after disruptions in the earlier part of the year. The increasing business spread across geographies helped create a more balanced demand profile, significantly mitigating the risk from local and regional disruptions.

The business mix continued to shift towards higher- margin categories. Hotels and Ancillaries increased their saliency in overall platform activity and gross profit contribution during the year. The Company entered 18 new countries with feet-on-street as well as increased its source market footprint. The international transacting agent base grew by 35% year-on-year, Monthly Active Agencies crossed 12,000 for the first time, and around 8,900 new agencies transacted for the first time during the year. Newly onboarded agents contributed over USD 200 million to the growth. Direct supply share increased to 35% in FY 2026 from 33.9% in the FY 2025.

Strategic Initiatives

During FY 2026, the Company continued to execute its strategic priorities: expanding platform activity, bolstering supply, diversifying revenue streams and improving operating leverage through technology- enabled workflows. On the demand side, the Company scaled its buyer ecosystem through geographic expansion, deeper market penetration and improving commercial productivity. The productivity of our Key Account Managers increased by 43% year-on-year on a GTV basis. This reflected improvement in the efficiency and maturity of the Companys commercial engine.

The Company also continued to diversify revenue streams through newer business lines and product extensions. During the year, it conceptualized and built Voya - an intelligent luxury itinerary creator, expanded TBO Academy, scaled Loyalty Channel Vertical Solutions, and continued to build its ancillary business under the Connected Trips vision. The loyalty business added new partnerships during FY 2026 and further strengthened the Companys participation in travel-linked loyalty solutions. The ancillary business also continued to scale during the year, supporting the Companys efforts to expand share of wallet and strengthen participation across connected travel journeys.

On the supply side, the Company focused on increasing direct contracting, improving supply quality, and deepening engagement with strategically important hotel partners. The Companys Platinum Collection program sustained strong momentum, expanding its hotel network while achieving above-average GTV growth for the participating hotel properties. The directly contracted hotel base also increased further, strengthening the Companys relevance in aggregating unique supply aligning its demand profile.

Inorganic Growth

Value-accretive acquisitions remain an important part of the Companys long-term growth strategy. Over time, the Company has developed an acquisition framework across sourcing, evaluating, integrating and scaling businesses in different markets and segments. This framework has evolved through prior transactions such as Island Hopper, Gemini Tours & Travels, BookaBed and Jumbonline.

A significant development during the year was the acquisition of Classic Vacations, a U.S.-based luxury travel platform focused on premium leisure travel. The acquisition strengthens the Companys presence in the U.S. luxury travel advisor market and aligns with its focus on premium, complex and assisted travel. Classic Vacations serves a network of more than 10,000 travel advisors and has direct contracts with more than 1,500 luxury hotel properties across key leisure destinations such as Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and parts of Europe.

Technology and Operations

Technology and operational efficiency remained an important area of focus in FY 2026. During the year, the Company embedded AI and intelligent automation across multiple parts of the platform and operating model. This included AI-driven smart search and recommendation systems, as well as machine learning and NLP-led systems across customer servicing and supplier management workflows.

During the year, approximately 72% of supplier- initiated tickets, 33% of customer-initiated tickets, and 72% of system-generated tickets were resolved through automated workflows. The Company also established a dedicated AI Centre of Excellence to drive a structured and scalable adoption framework across the organisation. In addition, the Company continued to strengthen internally built workflow capabilities through platforms such as Voya and Epicenter (a customized in-house sales CRM).

People & Culture

Our people remain at the heart of TBOs growth and success. During the year, the Company continued to invest in strengthening leadership capabilities, building future-ready talent, and fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and well-being. Focused initiatives across leadership development, employee wellness, and engagement reinforced our commitment to creating a high-performing and inclusive workplace.
