HBX Group Reports Strong Q3 2025 Growth in Travel Technology Sector
HBX Group's Q3 2025 Trading Update: Growth Amidst Challenges
In its recent trading update, HBX Group (HBX.SM), a trailblazer in B2B travel technology, has reported financial results for the third quarter that ended on June 30, 2025. The company demonstrates resilience through impressive figures, navigating challenging market conditions and showcasing strategic growth initiatives.
Financial Highlights
For Q3 2025, HBX Group recorded revenues of €182 million, marking a 3% increase compared to the previous year, which translates to a more substantial 6% growth when adjusted for constant currency. Over the first nine months of 2025, the total revenue reached €501 million, representing a robust 7% increase (8% when adjusted).
One notable contributor to this growth was the timing of the Easter holiday, which positively impacted Q3 revenue by approximately 1%. The total transaction value (TTV) also saw a commendable rise of 5% in Q3, adjusting to 8% in constant currency, which coincides with similar growth trends from the first half of the year.
Accommodation revenues surged, driven largely by higher volumes rather than average daily rates, indicating a strategic deep discounting approach in select markets to adapt to fluctuating demand dynamics.
Geographic Revenue Breakdown
| Region | Q3 2025 Revenue (€m) | Q3 2024 Revenue (€m) | Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Spain | 25 | 24 | 4% |
| Rest of Europe | 73 | 75 | -3% |
| USA | 29 | 30 | -3% |
| Rest of Americas | 23 | 20 | 15% |
| MEAPAC | 32 | 28 | 14% |
The above statistics underline the mixed performance across various regions. While Spain and the Americas showed promising growth, there were slight declines in both the US and the broader European market.
Strategic Growth Initiatives
In its quest for growth, HBX Group has been actively engaged in strategic acquisitions, including its recent deal with Civitfun and the expansion of The Luxurist into new markets. These moves have facilitated the integration of new products into the Group’s retail platform, Bedsonline.
HBX emphasized targeted geographic expansion, cross-selling initiatives, bundling of ancillary products, and pricing strategies to stimulate revenue growth. These steps have helped HBX Group outpace the broader hotel market, achieving TTV growth of 8% against an industry average of just 5%.
Looking Ahead: A Mixed Yet Promising Outlook
The company’s outlook for 2025 reflects a cautious approach, anticipating mid-to-high single-digit growth in both TTV and revenue. This shift comes in light of the macroeconomic and geopolitical disruptions influencing the travel sector. HBX is committed to maintaining an Adjusted EBITDA growth of at least high-single digits while ensuring a cash conversion rate near 100%.
Despite the challenges, HBX Group remains optimistic about leveraging its scalable technology and extensive B2B network. The strategic vision focuses on seizing growth opportunities in a stabilizing market environment, ensuring long-term profitability and expansion.
HBX Group continues to play a pivotal role in simplifying the fragmented travel industry through its innovative cloud-based solutions, positioning itself as a leader in the TravelTech space. With a presence in 170 countries and over 3,600 employees worldwide, the company is dedicated to fostering positive social and environmental impacts in the travel sector.
