2008 Guidance
  • Targeting 10-15 TTV growth
  • Currently at high end of target range in good
    trading climate
  • 1H pre tax profit likely to be about 40 up
    (excluding abnormal in PCP)
  • Expecting at least 15 full year pre tax profit
    growth

2008 Priorities
  • Growth Shops and businesses, as well as
    different product ranges, a global product
    powerhouse and expansion in various corporate
    brands. Franchising in Australia, FCm licensing
    and SME corporate business overseas.
  • Diversified revenue streams Acquisitions and new
    geographies, such as Dubai and Indian retail, but
    also looking at transferring FLTs proven retail
    model into different businesses.
  • Customer and product strategy Constantly moving
    into more premium and land-based product to
    satisfy changing customer type as baby boomers
    and over-35s request more and more prestigious
    and luxury product, as well as premium air
    product.
  • Our bricks and mortar friendly web strategy We
    aim to have clearly the best retail travel
    website with good transactional capability, a
    very large range of exciting and great value non
    transactional land and air product, as well as
    destinational and other highly sought after
    travel information.

2008 Progress update

    projects nearing completion. More than 1000 FC
    shops done by Xmas 2008. New head office fit-outs

    design.
  • Acquisition opportunities growing traditional
    business and new areas of business using our
    successful business model in travel, travel
    related or other types of retailing.
  • Global property acquisition strategy initiated
    Auckland building acquired and currently looking
    to acquire in London, South Africa and Melbourne.
    Certain hotel properties will also be targeted if
    appropriate.
  • Australia
  • Healthy trading conditions for travel strong
    dollar, resources boom
  • Competition in the air New carriers (Etihad,
    Air Asia X, Tiger, Viva Macau) arriving and
    increased capacity
  • Current lack of capacity having positive and
    negative affects
  • International
  • Geographic expansion FCm in Dubai, India
    leisure (Flight Centre) as well as growing retail
    and SME corporate in all overseas markets.
  • 40 of TTV and 34 of profits now from overseas.
    Will target 50/50 split within three years.
  • FCm network continues to grow and add to our
    global networking opportunities. Now represented
    in more than 60 countries, 10 of them FCL owned.

Acquisitions
  • Primarily targeting small, profitable companies
    with niche products and services, mainly in
    travel but also in other retail fields.

    FLTs overall operations and provide scale in a
    targeted international market.

    operations (as compared to AUS/NZ) in North
