RB nr 8/2005

Legal basis: Art. 81 subpar. 1 pt. 2 PPO

The Management Board of MCI Management S.A. informs of an over 346% increase of the revenues in 2004 of Travelplanet.pl – an Internet travel agency preparing to go public. The level of revenues reached 5.2 mln PLN (from 1.5 mln PLN in 2003). The value of sales of tourist services (TTV-Total Transaction Value) reached 17.5 mln PLN and it was 90% higher than in the previous year. Furthermore, over the four years of its existence, the company has recorded a positive financial result second year in a row.
Last year was very important for the operations of Travelplanet.pl as the company had to cope with a dynamic growth of the number of clients and remove bottle necks on the way to its further growth. This resulted in large investments, the creation of advanced customer service systems and information flow such as Integrated Information System.
Among the successes of the company are also the attraction of a group of stock exchange investors as an element initiating the process of going public, a dynamic growth of sales of flight tickets through Aero.pl which quickly became the leading sales agent in the Internet. The launch of the offer of tourist coupons under the brand name of TravelPass also proved to be a very successful investment.
In the second quarter of 2005 Travelplanet.pl shall make its debut on the Warsaw stock exchange and it shall be the first stock exchange company dealing exclusively with sale via the Internet.
