Trainline PLC (LSE:TRN) has reported a 12% rise in net ticket sales to £5.91 billion for the year ended 28 February 2025.
It said group revenue grew by 11% to £442 million, whilst earnings (adjusted EBITDA) rose 30% to £159 million.
UK consumer sales rose 13%, while international B2B API sales increased 63%.
Operating profit increased 54% to £86 million, and adjusted earnings per share were 19.2 pence, up 56% year-on-year.
The British travel-ticketing app, which is pushing growth in Europe, highlighted that net ticket sales in Spain had now tripled in the past two years, reaching €199 million, with its share of top routes rising to 12% from 5%, and overall brand awareness lifting to 31% from 8%.
“Spain offers a powerful blueprint for Europe, where net ticket sales have nearly tripled in two years. Looking ahead, liberalised routes across Europe will be worth €12 billion by 2030, almost three times their size today,” chief executive Jody Ford said in the statement.
“In the UK we remain the number one travel app and continue to innovate, including leveraging AI, to shift more people towards greener, digital-first rail travel.”
The Trainline noted progress with its £75 million share buyback programme, which launched in March and by the end of April had completed some £29 million of purchases.
