OBOOK Holdings Inc. (OWLS) Reports 20% Year-over-Year Growth in OwlNest Business

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OBOOK Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OWLS) (the “Company” or “OwlTing”), a technology company operating as the OwlTing Group, today reported a strong operational performance for its SaaS-based hospitality software service, OwlNest. This business unit achieved a 20% year-over-year revenue increase in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, based on internal management accounts, representing strong growth relative to broader market trends observed in the hospitality software sector¹. The platform now supports more than 2,700 hospitality operators globally, reflecting accelerating adoption of automation solutions amid structural labor constraints across the industry.

As global travel demand continues to recover, hospitality operators face persistent labor shortages and rising operating costs. Industry data suggests that workforce availability remains a long-term structural challenge, prompting operators to rely less on incremental hiring and more on scalable, system-driven operations. OwlNest addresses this shift by enabling self-service check-in, digital room access, and automated assignment workflows, allowing operators to maintain service quality and operational continuity without proportionally increasing staffing levels.

“The double-digit growth we are seeing in OwlNest reflects a clear industry shift toward automation as a core operating standard,” said Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. “Rather than adding headcount, hospitality operators are increasingly relying on platforms that can reliably scale daily operations. OwlNest was built to support that transition, and we remain focused on strengthening its role as a core operating platform for our customers.”

OwlTing noted that adoption of OwlNest continues to expand across multiple markets, with customers increasingly relying on the platform to support daily operational workflows spanning bookings, check-ins, and on-property management. As adoption of OwlNest continues to expand, the platform supported a substantial volume of real-world booking activity during the first half of 2025, with total transaction value exceeding US$100 million across the platform. This growing usage reflects OwlNest’s position as a mission-critical system within customer operations.

Looking Ahead, OwlTing emphasized that it remains focused on disciplined execution of its hospitality software strategy, expanding platform capabilities in response to customer needs, and maintaining alignment with regulatory and market conditions. Additional commentary on longer-term platform evolution and strategic opportunities will be addressed during the Company’s upcoming earnings call.
