SiteMinder IPO - Impressive performance during pandemic

SiteMinder is looking to raise about US$467m in its Australia IPO.

SiteMinder is an open hotel commerce platform that empowers hotels and accommodation providers (customers) to sell, market, manage and grow their business. It is essentially Shopify for hotel and accommodation providers. The company demonstrated its resilience during COVID-19 which is a testament of its value to its customers.

SiteMinder is offered at 6.7x FY24 EV/Revenue and 8.9x FY24 EV/Gross Profit compared to the peer average of 8.8x and 13.9x, which implies a 58% and 51% potential upside. We think it can trade at a premium to OTAs and hotel tech peers as seen from its impressive performance relative to peers during the pandemic.

However, one should keep in mind the lack of lock-up on major existing shareholders.

In this note, we will look at the company’s business model, fundamentals, deal dynamics, assumptions, and share our thoughts on valuation.
