ASX Announcement

9th April 2020

Market Update

Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) (“​ Jayride”​ or the “​ Company”​ ) the global online travel marketplace for airport transfers today provides the following update on March trading.

Managing Director Rod Bishop, said, “As anticipated, March revenue has been impacted by COVID-19 as travellers have cancelled their pre-booked travel plans. These refunds have now been paid, and cancellation rates have returned to pre-COVID-19 rates.

“Our strategy during these times is part defensive and part offensive. We moved quickly, and have implemented deep cost reductions to ensure we have at least twelve months cash runway even if the COVID-19 downturn is prolonged and severe. We have retained our key talent, including product and engineering teams, to build our core IP and capability. We are well placed to rebound and scale up once the travel industry recovers.“

Month of March 2020 Trading

  • Net Revenue in March of $(27,500) comprised of Commission Revenue Booked of $216,800, less Refunds upon cancellation of trips due to COVID-19 of $(244,300)

  • Cancellations and refunds peaked in Weeks 11 and 12, and have subsequently returned to normal pre-COVID-19 rates in Weeks 13 and 14

  • No further spike in refunds is considered possible during COVID-19 as there are significantly fewer bookings from pre-COVID-19 remaining in the system

  • 15,900 Passenger Trips Booked in month of March

  • Proactive cost reductions implemented – Jayride reaffirms 12-months+ cash runway even if COVID-19 downturn is prolonged and severe

Q3 FY20 performance of 17% year-on-year growth in Passenger Trips Booked, reflects strong underlying growth in January and February and severe COVID-19 impact in March.

Business Case Assumptions for 12-months+ Cash Runway

Jayride has assumed a highly conservative outlook for the travel industry, with the following Business Case assuming a prolonged and severe COVID-19 impact. This model is designed to be a “highly conservative scenario” that Jayride is positioned to outlast.

  • Jayride Business Case assumes 18-months total impact:

    • For 6-months (commenced March 2020), zero Net Revenues

    • For the following 6-months (commencing October 2020), Net Revenues slowly rebuild from zero to 90% of January 2020 levels

    • For the following 6-months (commencing April 2021), no additional Net Revenue growth

  • Non-variable cash cost savings of over $3 million annualised from end of March

  • Variable cash cost savings of up to $4 million annualised to be implemented as required in order to maintain a positive contribution margin

  • Cash inflows and subsidies of estimated $1.5m from multiple sources including R&D Tax Incentive, Export Market Development Grant, JobKeeper, and other announced government stimulus packages

Using these assumptions, with the cost reduction measures implemented in March, Jayride has at least a twelve month cash runway without need to raise further capital.
