ASX Announcement

7th October 2020

Jayride Trips Grow 163% – Q1 Market Update

Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) (“​ Jayride”​ or the “​ Company”​ ) the world leading online travel marketplace for airport transfers today provides the following market update.

  • Passenger Trips Booked grew 163% in Q1 FY21 vs prior quarter

  • Net Revenue grew 397% in Q1 FY21 vs prior quarter

  • Trips and Revenues recovery continued to build through the quarter

  • Growth across Europe and North America continues into September–October

  • R&D Tax Incentive, Export Market Development Grant, and JobKeeper received

Managing Director, Rod Bishop, said “The global travel recovery is continuing. Jayride has grown passenger trips booked consecutively for six months since the COVID-19 low in April, with an increase of 262% in September since then (1,604 trips and 5,800 trips per month respectively). Our bookings have returned to a positive contribution margin since June. We’re rebuilding our cash float, and investing to accelerate our recovery.

“Travellers need safe rides now more than ever. Today’s cautious travellers do not want to hop on a public bus or train if they can avoid it – they want the confidence of a pre-booked, COVID-19 prepared, health-secure, exclusive-use, door-to-door ride service which Jayride can provide through its 3,700 independent ride-service companies.”

Bookings continue to increase and refunds continue to decrease

Trips Revenues Revenues Net Trips Revenues
Quarter Booked Booked Refunded Revenues Growth % Growth %
Q4 FY20 6,100 $121,800 $(100,900) $20,900
Q1 FY21 15,900 $185,200 $(81,300) $103,900 +163% +397%

The company’s strategy at the onset of COVID-19 was to reduce costs while retaining future earnings potential. Jayride paid all traveller refunds and met transport obligations throughout COVID-19, and has also retained key talent to continue to build IP for future scale. This strategy has proven effective and the Company is now in an enhanced competitive position, winning new B2B clients and market share.

With over 90% of Jayride’s trips sourced outside of Australia, Jayride’s Northern Hemisphere expansion strategy continues to drive the Company’s recovery. The Company will continue to focus there as well as on other soon-to-open travel corridors including Australia-New Zealand and Australia-Singapore.

Mr Bishop said, “We expect Jayride’s recovery in trips to continue. The latest trading weeks are Jayride’s highest for trips booked since the onset of COVID-19. In addition, as in every prior year, trips continue to increase across Q2 as we build towards the December holiday travel season. We look forward to continued easing of restrictions and increased travel across the December holiday travel season.”

The company anticipates to release its full Quarterly Business Review and Appendix 4C cash flow report during the week of 19th October 2020.
