Annualised recurring revenue reached AUD 313.7 million, increasing 24.1% on a constant-currency and organic basis.

The software group ended FY26 with 56,000 properties and outlined further margin expansion for FY27.

SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) provides hotel commerce software that helps accommodation businesses manage distribution, bookings, pricing and related operations. Its results for the year ended 30 June 2026 reflected higher subscription and transaction revenue, wider adoption of its Smart Platform and improved adjusted earnings. The group also outlined plans to expand hotel optimisation features during FY27 as it develops technology for distribution and automated commercial decisions.

Company Business

SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) operates two principal hospitality software brands: SiteMinder, serving hotel distribution and commerce activities, and Little Hotelier, which provides management tools for smaller accommodation operators. Its services connect properties with booking channels and technology partners, while offering systems for managing rates, availability, reservations and associated payments. The business earns recurring subscription fees and transaction-related income from products integrated into customers’ booking activity.

The business has an international customer base. Its FY26 release noted that more than 85% of customer billings were denominated in currencies other than AUD, making reported results sensitive to foreign-exchange movements. At 30 June 2026, the group served 56,000 properties after adding a net 5,900 properties during the financial year. Broader product adoption, rather than customer numbers alone, also influences revenue earned per property.

Recent Development

In August 2026, SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) reported expanded adoption of its Smart Platform. Dynamic Revenue Plus, which supports hotel pricing decisions through analytics and automation, covered more than 50,000 rooms by year-end, more than double its H1FY26 level. Channels Plus had expanded to almost 10,000 connected hotels, compared with approximately 7,000 at the half-year point. These figures indicate increased deployment of transaction-linked tools across the company’s customer network.

SiteMinder also launched SiteMinder Powered, which allows property management software providers to embed its distribution capabilities within their own systems. The company continued developing artificial-intelligence applications for demand intelligence and hotel commerce while using automation in internal processes. Planned FY27 work includes broader revenue optimisation capabilities and additional distribution functions for Channels Plus.

Financial Performance and Sector Context

For FY26, SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) reported revenue of AUD 266.1 million, an increase of 18.6% on a reported basis and 22.0% on a constant-currency and organic basis. Subscription revenue reached AUD 155.2 million, increasing 11.6% on a reported basis, while transaction revenue grew 30.0% to AUD 110.9 million. The distinction between reported and currency-adjusted growth is relevant because the stronger Australian dollar reduced the value of international earnings when translated into AUD.

Annualised recurring revenue reached AUD 313.7 million, up 14.9% on a reported basis or 24.1% on a constant-currency and organic basis. Subscription ARR was AUD 169.4 million and transaction ARR AUD 144.3 million. ARR is an annualised measure calculated from recent recurring activity; it is not the same as recognised annual revenue. Monthly average revenue per user increased 5.9% on a reported basis to AUD 429, while the company recorded 45,400 adopted transaction products.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 96.5% to AUD 28.1 million, with the corresponding margin reaching 10.6%, up 419 basis points. Adjusted free cash flow increased from AUD 4.7 million to AUD 10.5 million. The statutory net loss narrowed to AUD 11.3 million from AUD 24.5 million in FY25, demonstrating that improved non-GAAP operating profitability did not yet translate into a statutory net profit. At year-end, the group reported AUD 31.6 million of cash and an undrawn AUD 30.0 million debt facility.

Global hotel software spending depends partly on accommodation demand, transaction volumes and property operators’ willingness to invest in distribution technology. SiteMinder reported softer travel conditions during FY26, alongside an adverse currency translation effect. These conditions are relevant when comparing subscription growth with more volume-sensitive transaction products.

Risks to Consider

SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) faces exposure to international travel demand, hotel booking volumes, exchange-rate movements and the pace at which customers adopt newer products. Transaction revenue can be affected by activity across connected hotels, while subscription revenue depends on retention and pricing. The company must balance expenditure on product development and sales with its adjusted margin objectives. Competition, software reliability, data security and integration complexity also remain operational considerations.

What to Watch Next

The FY27 reporting cycle will provide evidence of the pace of ARR growth, transaction-product adoption and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. SiteMinder expects ARR growth in the 20s on a constant-currency and organic basis and a meaningful improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in FY27. Its longer-term objective is an adjusted EBITDA margin in the mid-20s in FY30. Both are company guidance rather than assured outcomes. Developments in Dynamic Revenue Plus, Channels Plus and embedded distribution partnerships will also be relevant.

Key Insights

FY26 combined higher recognised revenue and ARR with an increase in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, although SiteMinder Limited (ASX:SDR) still reported a statutory loss. The year also saw expansion in the property base and deployment of transaction-oriented software. Future disclosures will help establish how recurring revenue, adoption, cash generation and international travel conditions affect the company’s operating trajectory.
