lastminute.com N.V. delivers solid H1 performance
driving confidence in full-year guidance

 

Amsterdam / Chiasso, 07 August 2025 – lastminute.com N.V. (“lastminute.com”), the European Travel-Tech leader in Dynamic Holiday Packages, today published its unaudited results for the first half of 2025, reporting solid growth across all key financial metrics, in line with full-year guidance.

Chief Executive Officer, Alessandro Petazzi , said: “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made in the first half of the year. Our Flights business performed particularly well, thanks to effective pricing strategies and a wider ancillary portfolio. At the same time, our Packages continue to prove their strength, in line with travellers’ growing demand for flexibility and personalisation. We saw strong trading in Q1, while Q2 reflected the expected shift in booking patterns due to Easter falling later in the calendar this year. This timing difference affected quarterly comparability - particularly for our Packages business, which is more sensitive to seasonality shifts - but has no impact when looking at H1 as a whole, which provides a more consistent view of underlying trends. These results keep us well positioned to meet our full-year guidance ”. 

Q2 2025 Key Financials
The Group 1  delivered a positive second quarter.

H1 2025 Key Financials
The Group delivered a solid first-half performance, showing growth across all main categories.  

Further details about the results are in the H1 2025 report .

The steady half‑year performance reflects how the Group’s strategy roadmap is translating into tangible results.


A pivotal element of lastminute.com’s ongoing evolution from a price-led platform to a fully integrated holiday provider is the strategic focus on developing its core product, Packages, through an additional curated holiday stream. These specially selected packages will also include handpicked hotels and flights, along with added components such as transfers, checked luggage, and more. This shift entails a continuous expansion of the Group’s ancillary offering, with recent additions including new transfer and parking services.

 

The strengthening of presence via targeted investments in Tier 2 markets progressed in H1, with Ireland emerging as a key country alongside the Nordics and Benelux. 

 

Enhancing brand visibility for the master brand, lastminute.com, remains a priority. Efforts include aligning the visual identity of local brands for consistency, and launching brand awareness campaigns, not only in core markets such as the UK, France, Germany and Italy, but also in Sweden, which was selected as the first Tier 2 market to pilot this approach.

The Group has also strengthened its internal capabilities to better pursue its long-term strategic goals by bringing leadership closer to key business areas, enabling quicker decision-making. A new Automation function was created, which, together with Technology and Data functions, will sit at the centre of lastminute.com's leadership model. This is a clear signal of the Group’s strategy to invest in AI as a driver of both customer experience and operational excellence.
