eDreams reduce su beneficio a 200.000 euros por el aumento de los costes

Spanish online travel agency eDreams reported a net profit of 200,000 euros for the first quarter of its 2027 fiscal year, ending June 30th, 2027. This figure marked a significant decline from the 13.6 million euros in profits during the same period last year, as reported by eDreams on Tuesday. The company's reduction in profits comes amidst its ongoing investment phase, which involves increasing customer acquisition costs, expanding geographically, and introducing new product categories to accelerate the growth of its subscription Prime business.

Prime remained the primary growth driver for eDreams in the first fiscal quarter, with 8.1 million subscribers, an 8% increase compared to the previous year, after adding 173,000 net new subscribers. Revenue from Prime grew by 1%, reaching 128.4 million euros, while total revenue grew by 4% to 165.5 million euros, both figures falling short of the same period in the previous fiscal year. eDreams' gross operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted to 28.9 million euros, while EBITDA cash reached 23 million euros, both showing a 41% decrease compared to the previous year.

Despite the drop in profits, eDreams noted that these figures are higher than market estimates and align with its planned investment phase. The company aims to reach 8.5 million Prime members and add 600,000 net new subscribers during its fiscal year 2027. For the full fiscal year 2027, eDreams aims to maintain its goal of 8.5 million Prime members and add 600,000 net new subscribers.

The company had previously forecast EBITDA adjusted of 167 million euros prior to investments and EBITDA cash of 115 million post-investments, anticipating a rebound of interannual growth starting from the fourth quarter. In the long term, eDreams plans to achieve 13 million Prime subscribers by March 2030 and surpass 270 million euros in EBITDA cash.

In 2025, the online travel agency announced a revised strategic roadmap to grow Prime memberships by 15-20% annually between the fiscal years 2028 and 2030, aiming to surpass 13 million by 2030, and a EBITDA cash exceeding 270 million euros.
