Marketplace Staging
The chart above illustrates overall Airtasker Gross Marketplace Volume (GMV) growth over 10 years demonstrating three clear phases of growth and future market growth potential: Our US marketplaces are currently in the initial “zero to one” phase whilst our marketplaces in the UK are in the second “one to 100” phase. Many of our AU marketplaces are now in the “scaling” phase demonstrating strong margins and generating significant positive cashflows.
==> picture [21 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
Australia: Scaling our home marketplace
Leverage network effects in scaling marketplaces to produce strong margins and positive cashflows.
- Marketing - continue to invest in brand trust and profitable marketing tactics to grow marketplace activity.
● Superstore - develop and optimise product to unlock new customer interactions (eg. rebooking) and new service categories (eg. trades).
==> picture [20 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [19 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
US & UK: Building new marketplaces
Invest cashflows generated by scaled marketplaces in Australia to develop network effects in new marketplaces in US and UK.
-
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.

Strong GMV and revenue growth on pcp whilst generating $1.0m positive operating cashflow
==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Q3 FY22 Gross Marketplace Volume (GMV)[1] increased to $51.5m (up 24.9% on pcp[2] ) whilst Q3 revenue increased to $8.6m (up 21.2% on pcp). During the quarter, Airtasker generated positive operating cashflow of $1.0m and holds more than $32m cash at bank.
Strong result achieved despite macro headwinds including residual impacts of Covid, excess rain and flooding and a nationwide labour shortage.

Combined Gross Marketplace Volume (GMV) definition
GMV is calculated by the total price of all Tasks booked through the Airtasker marketplace before cancellations and inclusive of price adjustments between Customers and Taskers, bonuses paid by Customers to Taskers, fees payable by Customers and Taskers to Airtasker, and any applicable sales taxes plus Oneflare GMV estimated by dividing total Oneflare cash receipts by the Airtasker marketplace take rate (being 16.7% in Q3 FY22).
Airtasker management has estimated Oneflare’s FY23 cash receipts based on unaudited CY21 financial information provided by Oneflare, reduced for the impacts of integration and conservative forecast assumptions.

Key risks
| Area | |
| Performance of technology | Airtasker is heavily reliant on information technology to make the Airtasker platform available to users. There is a risk that Airtasker or third parties who license software to Airtasker may fail to adequately maintain their information technology systems, or that system or other failures may occur, which may cause disruptions to Airtasker's platform. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's reputation, fnancial performance and growth prospects. |
| Data breaches and other data security incidents |
Airtasker and its suppliers collect data and other confdential information from Airtasker's users. There can be no guarantee that systems maintained by Airtasker and its suppliers will adequately protect against data breaches and other data security incidents or withstand cyber and other attacks. Data breaches and other data security incidents could cause disruptions to Airtasker's platform, expose Airtasker to penalties for breaching laws or require Airtasker to incur substantial costs to remedy any loss of data. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's reputation and fnancial position. |
| New technologies | Airtasker may fail to update its platform to adopt new technologies. Competitors may develop or adopt new technologies which give them a competitive advantage over Airtasker, or may be able to replicate Airtasker's technology at a cheaper cost to users. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's fnancial performance and prospects. |
| Acquisition risk | Airtasker has undertaken pre-acquisition due diligence on Onefare’s business and assets. There is a risk that these due diligence investigations did not identify all material issues, or that issues apparent from the information provided were not adequately appreciated or addressed. There is also a risk that information provided was not complete, accurate or reliable. Airtasker has entered into an acquisition agreement with Onefare. There is a risk that Airtasker may incur costs or sufer losses if either party breaches the agreement. Airtasker's ability to seek compensation or indemnifcation from Onefare for claims under the agreement may be limited in the agreement or by the fnancial ability of Onefare to satisfy the claims. Further, any delays in satisfying requirements for completing the acquisition (e.g. transfers of IP, assignments of contracts, etc.), or waiving any of those requirements, may have an adverse impact on the operational performance of the business post-acquisition or Airtasker's ability to integrate Onefare’s business. |
| Integration of Onefare | There are risks involved in integrating Onefare’s business into Airtasker's group. These risks may relate to imposing Airtasker's standardised reporting, systems and procedures onto the acquired business and the use of centralised technology, communication and other potential shared services. There may also be risks with integrating Onefare’s ofering into Airtasker's marketplace or migrating service providers or registered users to the Airtasker marketplace. Unexpected difculties in integrating Onefare’s business and assets may result in higher than expected integration or operating costs, potential disruptions to the acquired business, loss of users and lower than expected cost and revenue synergies from the acquisition. There is also a risk that Airtasker may not able to fully transition all of Onefare’s customers and professional services providers to the Airtasker platform. |
| Uncovered warranty and indemnity breaches |
Airtasker may sufer a loss as a result of conduct of the vendors of the assets of Onefare for which the representations, warranties and indemnities negotiated by Airtasker in its agreement to acquire certain assets of Onefare turn out to be inadequate in the circumstances. Any uncovered liability may adversely afect the fnancial performance or position of Airtasker post acquisition. |
21
Key risks cont.
| Area | |
| Reliance on information provided |
Airtasker has prepared (and made assumptions in the preparation of) the fnancial information relating to the acquisition of the assets and business of Onefare included in this presentation in reliance on fnancial information and other information provided by Onefare. If any of the data or information relied upon by Airtasker in its due diligence process and its preparation of this presentation proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual fnancial position and performance of Airtasker may be materially diferent to the fnancial position and performance expected by Airtasker. |
| Changes to laws and regulations |
Airtasker operates in a sector where the laws and regulations around its operations are evolving. There is a risk that changes to laws (such as relating to employee classifcations of Taskers, privacy, data and taxation) may impose additional obligations on Airtasker or expose Airtasker to penalties for non-compliance. Depending on the signifcance of the changes, Airtasker may even need to fundamentally change its business model. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's ongoing operations, fnancial performance and growth prospects. |
| Compliance with laws and regulations |
There is a risk that the provision of a Task through Airtasker's platform may require Airtasker itself to comply with laws or hold licences in respect of those Tasks. If that occurs, Airtasker must either obtain such licences or determine not to allow that service to be provided through the platform. If it determines to not allow any particular services to be provided through the platform, this may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's ongoing operations, fnancial performance and prospects. |
| Tax | Airtasker undertakes research and development activities which result in tax benefts by way of the research and development tax incentive. There is a risk that incentives received by Airtasker may be challenged, and Airtasker may be required to return the incentives and potentially pay penalties. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's fnancial position. |
| Use of Airtasker's platform | The success of Airtasker's business and its ability to grow relies on its ability to attract new users to, and retain existing users on, its platform. If Airtasker is unable to retain existing users or attract new users, this may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's operations, fnancial performance and growth prospects. |
| Liability and reputational damage |
There is a risk that Taskers may not perform services to the standards expected by Customers or that Customers may seek to hold Airtasker liable for the actions of Taskers. There is a risk that users may use Airtasker's platform to engage in criminal or other dangerous activities. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's brand, reputation, fnancial position and future prospects. |
| Changes to macro-economic conditions |
Changes to macro-economic conditions (such as rising unemployment, reduced consumer confdence and volatility in global markets) may impact the types and levels of services demanded through Airtasker's platform. If macro-economic conditions have an adverse impact on the use of Airtasker's platform, this may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's fnancial performance and prospects. |
| COVID-19 | COVID-19 is a major community and economic concern which is having an impact on business operations in Australia and globally. There is a risk that government or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19, such as lockdowns and other restrictions on movements, may restrict the ability of users of Airtasker's platform to provide or receive services through the platform. There is also a risk that users may be unable to provide or receive services through the platform for a period of time if they contract COVID-19 or are quarantined. These risks may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's operations, fnancial performance and growth prospects. |
22
Key risks cont.
| Area | |
| Growth strategies | Airtasker's future success and growth prospects are dependent on continued, and increased, use of its platform in the jurisdictions in which it operates from time to time. The success of Airtasker's expansion in those jurisdictions may be afected by a number of factors, such as existing incumbent competitors, and diferent regulatory requirements and tax treatments in those jurisdictions. Airtasker may have to expend signifcant resources to develop a presence in those jurisdictions. There is no guarantee that Airtasker will attract or retain sufcient users of the Airtasker platform in those jurisdictions, or that it will generate profts in those jurisdictions. There is a risk that other growth strategies of Airtasker may not be successful or deliver growth or even if Airtasker does achieve its growth strategies, there is a risk that growth may place a signifcant strain on Airtasker's operations, systems, staf and/or fnancial resources. |
| Intellectual property | Airtasker may inadvertently fail to adequately protect its intellectual property or be unable to adequately protect its intellectual property in new jurisdictions which it expands into. Employees, competitors or other parties may seek to replicate Airtasker's unique platform features, or use intellectual property that is similar to Airtasker's intellectual property, to compete with Airtasker. Airtasker may inadvertently infringe a third party's intellectual property rights and may be liable for penalties or be required to cease using those rights. This may have a material adverse impact on Airtasker's competitive position, reputation, branding, fnancial performance and growth prospects. |
| Key personnel | A loss of key employees or under-resourcing, and inability to recruit suitable replacements or additional staf within a reasonable time period, may cause disruptions to Airtasker's platform and growth initiatives, and may adversely afect Airtasker's operations and fnancial performance. In particular, if the CEO of Onefare, Billy Tucker, were to leave in the period after completion of the acquisition, this may cause disruption to the integration process, and his departure and may adversely afect Onefare’s operations and fnancialperformance. |
| Suppliers | Airtasker's platform is reliant on a number of third party suppliers, including information technology companies which provide Airtasker with cloud storage and data warehousing services, security services, user contact services, payment processing services and other services used to operate, maintain and support the Airtasker platform. Airtasker contracts with these suppliers pursuant to the suppliers' standard terms and conditions. Any loss of suppliers, changes to supply terms or limitations on Airtasker's recourse against suppliers may have a material adverse impact on its operations, reputation, fnancial performance and prospects. |
| Proftability and requirement for additional capital |
Airtasker is not currently proftable and may take time to achieve, or may never achieve, proftability. Even if Airtasker does achieve proftability, it may not be able to sustain or increase proftability over time. Airtasker's ability to continue its current operations and efectively implement its growth strategies may depend on its ability to raise additional funds. If Airtasker is unable to obtain such additional funding as required, or on favourable terms, this could have a material adverse efect on Airtasker's fnancial position and prospects. |
| Competition | There is a risk that Airtasker may face competition from existing online marketplaces who increase their competitive positions or new market entrants in the future. Airtasker also faces competition from competitors in certain geographic markets it is seeking to expand into. Any increased competition could adversely afect Airtasker's competitive position and its ability to attract and retain users of its platform. |
| General risks | There are a number of general risks to an investment in Airtasker, including, without limitation, risks that the price of Shares may not increase or even remain at the Ofer Price, an after market in the Shares maynot develop,Shareholders maybe diluted byfuture capital raisings,and tax consequences mayarise from acquiringor disposingof Shares. |
