New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 150% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

BGH, Helloworld Reportedly to Team Up on Webjet Speculation is mounting the end game for Webjet Group Limited (ASX:WJL) is that the Andrew Burnes-led Helloworld Travel Limited (ASX:HLO) and BGH Capital ultimately join forces to see the two travel companies combine and potentially get taken private. Helloworld on 16 May 2025 was in the market buying more shares in its listed travel rival, Webjet Group, at 89c each, and is understood to have secured a stake of close to 10%. BGH, together with Gary Weiss and his business interests, have collected a 10.76% holding and have put forward an 80c-a-share takeover bid that the UBS-advised company rejected. Sources said that Mr. Burnes had a brief and informal telephone conversation with Webjet about a possible deal in recent days, but was swiftly rebuffed. However, well-connected sources said that Mr. Burnes, who is Helloworld's managing director and a former treasurer of the Liberal Party, had strong Melbourne-based business relationships - and given that was where BGH was based, a deal involving both parties in which Helloworld and Webjet Group came together, made sense. Private equity firm BGH Capital is run by ex-TPG Capital operatives Ben Gray and Simon Harle, and ex-Macquarie Capital boss Robin Bishop. If Helloworld is working in concert with BGH, under ASX rules the parties would have to declare the relationship as they would collectively own more than 20%. Market experts say that Helloworld would likely see benefits for its travel agencies owning Webjet Group, providing an online booking platform, yet it may not be in a position to afford a buyout proposal. Eventually, it has emerged that the two groups are working together. Helloworld's market value is $256 million and Webjet's about $350 million. Webjet Group, which was split from its corporate business, now WEB Travel Group, faces industry headwinds in that it charges customers a fee for online consumer travel bookings. Airlines like Qantas and Jetstar don't, which makes using the websites of the airlines cheaper. Compounding this is that the big level of consumer spending following the global pandemic has eased as the higher cost of living takes its toll. BGH, advised by Macquarie Capital, had earlier said the transaction structure for its proposal, which valued the company at $314 million, was still under consideration. However, it intended to seek a controlling interest in the company and was open to some shareholders retaining an ongoing equity interest, with the potential for ongoing access to liquidity by retaining the company's public listing, subject to appropriate tax and legal considerations. Webjet recently laid out its five-year growth plan, and intends to double total transaction value by the 2030 financial year to at least $3.2 billion. Announcement • May 16

Under the terms, the BGH Proposal is for a cash offer of $0.80 per Webjet share based on a number of key assumptions, including, without limitation, assumptions relating to cash levels, no external debt, no dividends or other distributions including by way of buy-back being announced, and no business acquisitions prior to implementation. BGH has indicated that while the transaction structure remains under consideration, its intention is to seek a controlling interest in the Company. BGH has also indicated it is open to some existing shareholders retaining an ongoing equity interest in the Company, with the potential for ongoing access to liquidity by retaining the Company’s public listing, subject to appropriate tax and legal considerations. BGH has requested due diligence to assist it formulate a binding proposal.
Webjet Shareholders should note that the BGH Proposal is non-binding and there is no assurance that it will proceed in accordance with its terms or at all. Webjet shareholders do not need to take any action in relation to the BGH Proposal at this time.

Webjet Investors Betting on Higher Private Equity Bid BGH Capital's $314 million takeover bid for Webjet Group Limited (ASX:WJL) could face headwinds, as analysts and investors bet the private equity firm will be met with competition from global and local operators keen to buy the online travel agency. Shares in Webjet on 14 May 2025 were trading at 90c, above BGH Capital's price of 80c a share, which suggests investors are betting that a higher offer is looming. BGH said the transaction structure for a deal was under consideration, but it intended to seek a controlling interest in the company and was open to some shareholders retaining an ongoing equity interest, with the potential for ongoing access to liquidity by retaining the company's public listing, subject to appropriate tax and legal considerations. BGH's offer was also based on several key assumptions relating to cash levels, no external debt and no dividends or other distributions including by way of buy-back being announced, as well as no business acquisitions prior to completion. Webjet, advised by UBS, announced on 13 May 2025 night that it had received an "indication of interest" from BGH Capital at 80c a share after it had been acquiring stock last week. BGH, which holds 5.89% of Webjet and is working with Macquarie Capital, has asked Webjet for the opportunity to carry out due diligence. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Feb 25
