“Airtasker has changed my
life. Now I’m running my
own business, which is
great. It’s awesome being
your own boss and being
able to work in your own
time. Just log in and start
getting tasks. There are
various tasks, small to large
and anything you’re good
at, just use your skill set.
You can earn whatever you
want, the sky’s the limit.”

Sifat R.
“I was very concerned when the price of everything went up. I’ve got a new baby and we hardly have any savings. I’m now coping thanks to being able to pick up extra jobs on Airtasker. I looked after a rabbit for a few weeks when the owners went on holiday and got paid £200! It’s such a relief being able to go to a platform where I can find quick and easy jobs in my area. It means I can choose my own hours making childcare easier.”

Marketplace staging and strategy
Our strategy
Stages of marketplace growth
Australia: Scaling our home marketplace
Leverage network effects in scaling marketplaces to produce strong margins and positive cashflows.
-
Driving frequency - invest in core product to drive returning users and unlock new customer interactions (eg. rebooking, Oneflare high value trades).
-
Marketing - continue to invest in brand trust and profitable marketing tactics to drive gross profit.
Investment
US & UK: Building new marketplaces
==> picture [332 x 177] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Scaling
One to 100
Zero to one
----- End of picture text -----
Invest cashflows generated by scaled marketplace in Australia to develop network effects in new marketplaces in US and UK.
The chart above illustrates overall Airtasker Gross Marketplace Volume (GMV) growth over 10 years demonstrating three clear phases of growth (based on our Australian marketplace experience) and future international marketplace growth potential.
-
Zero to one - drive Tasker engagement by building a growing stream of job opportunities (posted tasks).
-
One to 100 - balance supply and demand to drive marketplace activity and grow GMV.
Our US marketplace is currently in the initial “zero to one” phase whilst our UK marketplace is in the second “one to 100” phase. Our Australian marketplace is now in the “scaling” phase demonstrating strong margins and generating significant positive cashflows.

Marketplace staging economics
Airtasker operates marketplaces at different stages of maturity with economics differing significantly depending upon stage of development:
-
Scaling (eg. Australia)
-
One to 100 (eg. UK)
-
Zero to one (eg. US)
To illustrate these economics, management has prepared a notional (non-statutory) split of financial performance based on the following:
-
Revenue attributed to each local marketplace based on customer location.
-
All marketing, infrastructure and customer support costs attributed to local marketplaces on a proportional traffic, spend or customer volume basis.
-
Global head office costs includes both operating and innovation expenditure:
-
Operating expenditure refers to the Airtasker and Oneflare platform engineering, product support and maintenance as well as back office support functions (leadership, legal, finance and people operations).
-
Innovation expenditure refers to the Airtasker and Oneflare platform non-capitalisable expenditure associated with the development of new features designed to enhance the customer experience, increase long term GMV and grow long term revenue.

Australian marketplace generates positive EBITDA after covering Global Head Office operating costs
-
In Q1 FY23, Airtasker’s Australian marketplace generated EBITDA[1] of $5.8M. ● Australian marketplace EBITDA covers the global head office operating expenditure[2] (excluding global innovation expenditure[3] ) with a combined EBITDA of $0.1M.
-
We are committed to innovation expenditure to realise long term growth opportunities (eg. rebooking via our Contacts product and high value trades via investment in Oneflare and Airtasker Pro).
-
We continue to build new marketplaces internationally in the US and UK, leveraging our scalable software platform, global head office operations and innovation expenditure.
-
Creating new marketplaces in the US and UK requires upfront investment primarily in the form of variable marketing expenditure (ie. paid advertising) to drive user acquisition and establish early network effects.
-
Airtasker reports and manages the business as a single operating unit. Calculations including EBITDA splits shown are estimates based on management assumptions and judgement, are unaudited and are provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the contribution of various marketplaces.
-
Operating expenditure refers to the Airtasker and Oneflare platform engineering, product support and maintenance as well as back office support functions (leadership, legal, finance and people operations).
-
Described as “R&D expense” in prior periods, innovation expenditure refers to the Airtasker and Oneflare platform non-capitalisable expenditure associated with the development of new features designed to enhance the customer experience, increase long term GMV and grow long term revenue.

Trust and Safety: Our approach to Cybersecurity
The trust and safety of our marketplace users is critical to our success.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported that Australia alone saw a cybersecurity incident every 7 mins in 2022[1] , with many Australians and those abroad impacted by private information leaks or financial impacts of digital fraud.
We’ve continued to invest in strengthening the security of our systems and our overall security practices to ensure our customers, staff and business data are safe.

-
Increased staff security and phishing awareness training
-
Upgraded device management, VPN, antivirus and ransomware protection
-
Upgraded security monitoring, detection and alerting technology (SIEM)

FY23 outlook: Airtasker well positioned to benefit in an inflationary macro environment
Essential versus discretionary demand
Approximately 70% of total marketplace demand is considered to be essential (non-discretionary[1] ) services.
Potential macro factors driving Airtasker demand:
Increased marketplace demand
- Flexible labour represents a lower cost alternative compared to traditional labour sources
70% of Airtasker jobs are essential (non-discretionary[1] ) services
- Lower consumer confidence and less overall demand for services
Potential macro factors driving Airtasker supply:
- Less economic growth and jobs created
Increased availability of workers
- Increased cost of living
Incentives to seek more income
- Reversal of immigration barriers and Covid-related absenteeism
Increased worker availability
70% Essential services (non-discretionary1)
- Discretionary services defined as those that would be considered ‘optional’ when there are changes impacting household wealth or the prices of goods and services, as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/measuring-non-discretionary-and-discretionary-infation.
