Average Task Price Completion rate Cancellation rate Take rate (revenue)
The Airtasker Labour Supply Index measures the relative supply and demand of labour in the Airtasker marketplace[1] .
During the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent labour shortage, labour supply decreased due to low immigration and government stimulus reducing incentives to work. In 1H23, labour supply began to trend upwards with Jan-23 seeing a massive 48% YoY increase in labour supply.

Marketplace staging economics
Airtasker operates marketplaces at dierent stages of maturity with economics diering significantly depending upon stage of development:
Framework for understanding economics of marketplaces at different stages of maturity
-
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 is aributed to each local marketplace based on customer location.
-
All marketing, infrastructure and customer support costs are aributed to each local marketplace on a proportional traic, spend or customer volume basis.
-
Global head oice operations includes both operating expenditure and innovation investment:
-
platforms and marketplaces (engineering, product support and maintenance) as well as back oice support functions (leadership, legal, finance and people operations).
-
Innovation investment is non-capitalisable operating expenditure relating to the Airtasker and Oneflare platforms associated with the development of new features designed to enhance the customer experience, increase long term GMV and grow long term revenue (management judgement basis).

Australian marketplaces generate positive EBITDA after covering Global Head Office operating expenditure
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
In 1H23, Airtasker’s Australian marketplaces generated EBITDA of $11.9m[1] .
-
Australian marketplaces EBITDA covers the global head oice operating expenditure[2] (excluding innovation investment[3] ) with a combined EBITDA of $0.1m.[1]
-
We are commied to innovation investment to realise long term growth opportunities (eg. rebooking via our Contacts product and high value trades via investment in Oneflare and Airtasker Plus).
-
We continue to build new marketplaces internationally in the UK and US, leveraging our scalable software platform, global head oice operations and innovation investment.
-
Creating new marketplaces in the UK and US requires upfront investment primarily in the form of variable marketing expenditure (ie. paid advertising) to drive user acquisition and establish early network eects.

|---|---|---|---|
| AU revenue | 21.4 | 13.7 | 56.2% |

Improve market reliability
Our data science and machine learning teams continue to refine models to visualise marketplace supply and demand paerns at a hyperlocal level in order to enable targeted actions that improve the speed and accuracy of matching each customer with the right Tasker for their job.
To improve the reliability of Taskers in our marketplace, we’re continuing to invest in features to educate users about community expectations, establish Tasker reliability scores and where necessary take action to restrict Taskers that impact overall marketplace reliability.

Unlock repeat relationships
Prior to 3Q22, it wasn’t possible for customers to re-connect with a Tasker that they had worked with previously.
In 3Q22, we released Airtasker Contacts which enables customers to easily message Taskers, request quotes and make payments through Airtasker Pay with lower marketplace fees.
As we incrementally build awareness of Airtasker Contacts, early stage traction is compounding.
