Organic growth accelerated in the UK as a result of Covid recovery tailwinds and a strong return on the company’s initial marketing investments with UK GMV up 232% year-on-year and 93% quarter-on-quarter. In the US, Airtasker’s acquisition and integration of Zaarly is progressing well with planned market launches in Kansas City, Dallas and Miami in H1 FY22.
During this period of strong GMV and revenue growth, Airtasker continued to see the benefits of its light touch operating model which maintained a gross margin of more than 93% and generated positive operating cash flow of $5.5M for the year.
With positive operating cash flow and a strong cash balance of $45.9M, Airtasker is now well positioned to invest in international expansion with local service industries across Australia, the US and the UK representing a total addressable market (TAM) of more than $600+ billion.
