ebookers continues strong performance Quarter 2 and Half Year Results - ebookers expands India back office (Business Process Outsourcing facility) to service 3rd parties and further develops profitability potential - 4 August 2003 - ebookers plc, the pan-European leisure specialist online, (LSE: EBR, Nasdaq: EBKR) today announces its financial results for Quarter 2 and the Half Year ended 30 June 2003. Highlights for Quarter 2 - Gross sales rise by 67% to £118m (Q2 2002 - £71m). - Turnover (gross profit) rises 101% to £15.0m (Q2 2002 - £7.5m). Organic growth of 28%. - Margin1 improves to 12.7% (Q2 2002 10.5%). An excellent result. - Adjusted pre-tax loss2 significantly reduced in seasonally weakest quarter to £(0.9)m (Q2 2002 £(1.7)m) despite SARS and Iraq War. - Travelbag integration continues to make rapid progress. 35% of passengers now from Internet. - India BPO cost savings this quarter estimated at £1.4m. - India BPO capacity to increase from 600 to 2,000 staff in taking on third party clients. The BPO will trade under the name Tecnovate. Nigel Addison Smith, CFO, ebookers plc comments: "These strong results in what is now our seasonally weakest quarter, combined with the effects of the war and SARS, show the capability of the ebookers businesses. The integration of Travelbag continues ahead of expectations with the migration of activity to our Indian BPO well underway. These results highlight our bottom line focus of tight cost control combined with internet driven top line growth." Dinesh Dhamija, CEO, ebookers plc comments: "We are now in the process of increasing the size of Tecnovate, our BPO facility. This additional capacity will be used to service third party clients. We have already demonstrated our expertise in creating a successful BPO and will now turn it from a cost centre into a profit centre. When combined with the high internet growth of an online travel company we believe that this gives ebookers a unique position to build on the profit potential of the group." 1 Margin defined as turnover (gross profit) as a percentage of gross sales. 2 Before amortisation, all stock compensation related costs, and exceptional items. See note 3. Chairman's statement ebookers has recorded an excellent second quarter. This was despite the impact of SARS and the Iraq war and most importantly the low winter season for our recent acquisition, Travelbag Holdings Limited "Travelbag", which is focused on long haul southern hemisphere destinations. Travelbag Integration As a bricks and mortar travel company, with a long-haul focus, Travelbag has traditionally been unprofitable in Quarter 2, making the majority of its profits in the Autumn and Winter peak long haul booking period. We aim to use the internet to deliver profits whatever the season. Travelbag's internet sales have increased from 16% of all passengers in January to 35% in July. This is an excellent result at this stage, however the process is still in its early stages. The faster we can convert Travelbag to online sales channels, the more profitable its sales will become. For the Travelbag brand, our aim is to deliver 70%+ internet passenger bookings within the next 12 months. BPO We have successfully undergone the complex process of establishing an Indian BPO facility. The BPO facility is key to cost reduction, but it is also a critical driver behind our sales growth. Cost levels in India allow us to take on high-quality revenue-generating staff. This resource is key to delivering profitable e-mail sales, and proactive customer service encouraging product cross sell. In Quarter 2 2003 we estimate that the BPO facility delivered cost savings of £1.4m. (This is the estimated cost if Indian functions had been carried out in Europe instead). With Travelbag functions currently being transferred, BPO cost savings could rise to over £2m per quarter by the end of the year. The BPO facility has been designed to act as a third party service provider, and we have already received several approaches from top-tier international organisations anxious to benefit from ebookers' BPO facility. To service these clients, and additional workload from ebookers, the company has taken on an additional 62,000 sq ft in New Delhi, with capacity to recruit up to 1,400 more staff. This expansion is being supported by the recruitment of additional senior management, and the establishment of internationally recognised quality accreditation programmes. Technology ebookers' technology development programme is focused on sales and margin growth as well as supporting group cost reduction targets through automation. Key to growth is the installation of optimal product mix technologies. On the UK website new technology has just been launched allowing the dynamic packaging of hotel and flight products, giving excellent value to our customers and the capacity for significant margin enhancements to our business. Enhanced car and hotel booking engines are at advanced stages of development. All of these initiatives will be supported by a new company-wide CRM programme aimed at improving conversion and customer retention rates and providing data to drive future marketing campaigns. Financial statement During the period, ebookers has continued its track record of growth combined with cost control. With the addition of Travelbag and its effect on our seasonal mix, Quarter 2 is now the group's weakest seasonal quarter. This quarter was also affected by SARS and the Iraq War. Nonetheless it has seen significant acquisition and organic (non-acquisition) growth with gross sales of £118.2m in Quarter 2 2003 compared to £71.0m in Quarter 2 2002, an increase of 67%. Turnover (gross profit) increased 101% year on year to £15.0m, with organic growth of 28%. For the first half of 2003, gross sales were £226.9m compared to £131.6m in the same period last year an increase of 72%. Turnover (gross profit) was £29.3m compared to £14.2m in the first half of 2002, an increase of 107%, and an organic increase of 35%. Particularly encouraging during the first half of 2003 and Quarter 2 2003 was the effect of increased non-air sales and their impact on overall margins. Our overall margin (gross margin on gross sales), increased to 12.7% in Q2 (Q2 2002: 10.5%) and 12.9% in the first half year (first half 2002, 10.8%). Turnover (gross profit) from non-air products accounted for approximately 37% of turnover in Quarter 2 2003 compared to 24% in Quarter 2 2002. Quarter 2 2003 adjusted (cash) operating costs* were £15.0m. The Quarter 2 2003 costs represent 12.7% of gross sales. Within this, the cost base of the Travelbag business represented 15.9% of gross sales, compared to 11.0% for ebookers. This indicates the significant potential to decrease Travelbag costs, particularly through continued transfer of functions to the India BPO and increased online sales and automation. Adjusted loss before tax* was £0.9m in Quarter 2 2003. This was better than market expectations and compares to an adjusted loss before tax of £1.7m in Quarter 2 2002. For the first half of 2003 we achieved an adjusted loss of £ 0.8m compared to an adjusted loss of £4.0m for the first half of 2002. Within the first half of 2003, in the seasonally stronger Quarter 1 we achieved our first ever adjusted profit of £0.1m despite the Iraq war and its build-up, indicative of the significant profitability potential of our business. Excluding Travelbag, ebookers made an adjusted profit of £0.2m for Quarter 2 2003, with Travelbag making an adjusted loss of £1.1m due to this being its weakest quarter and the effect of SARS. Loss after tax for Quarter 2 2003 was £7.4m compared to £3.5m in Quarter 2 2002. The increase was predominantly due to an increase of £1.1m in goodwill amortisation from £1.2m in Quarter 2 2002 to £2.3m in Quarter 2 2003 following the Travelbag acquisition, and £2.9m of exceptional items, mainly due to exceptional costs associated with the integration of Travelbag. For the first half of 2003 the loss after tax was £12.3m, compared to £7.0m in the first half of 2002. In the first half of 2003 the loss included £6.8m of exceptional items (again mainly associated with Travelbag). Goodwill amortisation charges in the first half of 2003 were £4.2m, compared to £2.4m in the first half of 2002. Quarter 2 2003 saw a significant strengthening of our cash position from £49m at the end of Quarter 1 2003, to £56m at the end of Quarter 2 2003. Current trading Our UK acquisition of Travelbag and Bridge the World has delivered an excellent performance in July powered by the successful start of their conversion to online sales. Our mainland European subsidiaries are also performing well. However, we are currently seeing lower than expected demand for some long and mid haul destinations. We believe that this has been caused by the knock-on effect of SARS and the Iraq war on consumer demand in these markets. We believe that the prospects remain good for autumn and winter bookings given the long and mid haul focus of the company. Outlook We are extremely confident about the future due to our strength in destination content, geographical breadth, ability to serve customers both on and offline, and our low cost BPO in India. --ends-- * Please see note 3 for definition and schedule of proforma adjusted financial measures MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHY OF BPO WILL BE AVAILABLE MONDAY PM For further information: ebookers plc Oliver Strong +44 (0) 20 7489 2239 oliver.strong@ebookers.com +44 (0) 7771 934 153 Cubitt Consulting (UK) Peter Ogden +44 (0) 20 7367 5130 peter.ogden@cubitt.com 07811 124 197 Webcast and conference call When: Monday 4 August at 16:00 BST /15:00 GMT / 17:00 CET / 11:00 ET (USA, NYC).

The Group reports total transaction value since the Directors believe that it reflects more accurately the cash flows within the Group. It is also a widely used measure of company size within the travel sector. (2) Turnover (gross profit) in the Group consists largely of the margins on sales of discounted airfares on scheduled flights as well as other travel products and services. The Group recognises revenue at the time the reservation is ticketed as the customer generally does not have the ability to cancel tickets or obtain refunds after ticketing, and all amounts payable have been received. In cases where customers have the ability to cancel and obtain refunds after ticketing, the Group is able to estimate its refund obligations and such obligations are accounted for. Turnover (gross profit) includes other travel product margins from hotel reservations, car rental and travel insurance. Incentive income is also received from the Group's service provider business partners and is recognised as turnover (gross profit) on receipt, unless dependent upon monthly or quarterly targets being achieved, in which case it is recognised over the life of the contract. In addition, turnover (gross profit) also includes advertising revenue earned during the period. 2.
