ASX Announcement Airtasker Limited (ASX Code: ART)
September quarter 2021 - Appendix 4C and quarterly activity report
Highlights:
-
Q1 Gross Marketplace Volume (GMV) up 6.2% year-on-year (yoy) to $35.0 million despite key markets in lockdown for the quarter
-
Strong post-lockdown bounce back with latest weekly[1] GMV $3.6 million, equivalent to $185 million on an annualised run rate[2] basis
-
Leadership further strengthened with appointment of Chief Product Officer, former Zip Co Chief Product and Technology Officer, Patrick Collins
Airtasker demonstrated solid marketplace performance in Q1 FY22 with GMV up 6.2% yoy to $35.0 million despite key markets, Sydney and Melbourne, being in Covid-19 related lockdown for all or substantially all of the quarter (and other markets being in lockdown for various parts of the quarter), showing the underlying growth and resilience of the marketplace.
The marketplace performed well in an environment marked by extensive Covid-19 related restrictions during the period, with receipts from customers up 2.3% to $6.5 million compared to Q1 FY21.
Since the easing of restrictions in major markets, Sydney and Melbourne, Airtasker has experienced a sharp bounce back with latest weekly[1] GMV of $3.6 million, or $185 million on an annualised run rate[2] basis. Airtasker is heading into its strongest southern hemisphere seasonal growth period.
International market growth continues with Q1 FY22 international GMV up more than 100% driven by strong growth in UK compared to Q1 FY21. The Zaarly integration and US expansion is progressing well with city-level markets launching in Dallas, Kansas City and Miami. We note that in contrast to an increase in seasonal growth in Australia, Airtasker’s northern hemisphere marketplaces in the US and UK are now entering winter which represents a seasonally slower period.
Q1 FY22 operating cash outflows increased compared to Q4 FY21 due to a ramp up of international marketing investment in line with expectations, annual bonuses triggered

by FY21 revenue outperformance vs target, one-off payroll tax payments relating to historical equity awards which crystallised upon the IPO, and timing differences.
Airtasker continues to strengthen its leadership bench with the appointment of former Zip Co Chief Technology and Product Officer, Patrick Collins, as Chief Product Officer.
“Patrick brings to Airtasker more than two decades of product leadership experience developed in leading Silicon Valley and Australian technology companies including Fifth Finger and Zip Co. We're very excited to bring him on board as we scale internationally and continue to invest in a world class customer experience,” co-founder and CEO Tim Fung said.
