Managing Director, Rod Bishop, said ”Northern Hemisphere markets are our largest markets accounting for over two thirds of Jayride’s trips, and the Northern Hemisphere summer peak season from March-July is set to accelerate our growth. We closed Q3 strongly with passenger trips booked growing to record high (61K trips in March, 734K trips run rate). Revenue also grew to record high ($475K in March, $5.7M revenue run rate). Trading built through the month and by the end of March, the last two weeks of trading averaged 16,550 trips per week (861K trips run rate). March is just the start of Europe summer trading with further strength expected in Q4. We are well on our way to our milestone of 1M trips, and cash flow positive.

“Growth in Q4 in previous years is an indication of our seasonal growth potential. In each of FY21 and FY22, Jayride grew trips +81% from Q3 into Q4, driven by Northern Hemisphere summer peak season and reopenings. This year we are set to catch the same tailwinds – our Europe Growth Hub is fully operational, and our optimisation for Asian destination reopening continues. A repeat of last year’s +81% growth would propel us well past our 1 million trips goal. Q4 promises to be the largest quarter in Jayride’s history.”
