Growth in Revenue and Gross Profit after Paid Acquisition

Jayride achieved strong stable revenue growth during the quarter due to organic traffic from the Company’s new SEO website, and adoption of new global destinations by the Company’s B2B travel partners. Revenue growth through these channels was strong enough that the Company was also able to complete a major transition from paid to organic search, and grew revenue despite actively ending paid search campaigns in less-profitable destinations, in favour of more-profitable organic search and partnerships.

The result is continued revenue growth with +255% year-on-year growth in Gross Profits after Paid Acquisition (GPAPA) from Passenger Trips Booked (AUD$0.45 million in Q3 FY19 compared to AUD$0.13m in Q3 FY18).

GPAPA including Other Revenue was AUD$0.49 million in Q3 FY19.

TRANSITION TO PROFITABLE GROWTH CHANNELS

  • In September to December, Jayride invested strongly in paid promotion and discounting to acquire new travellers in new global destinations. These launch campaigns achieved strong initial adoption and concluded in December,

  • In January to February, Jayride made a major transition to its channel mix; (a) with the success of the search engine optimised website (SEO website), and (b) adoption by B2B travel partners of new global destinations,

  • Success in these channels allowed the Company to scale back its less profitable paid search marketing, and hit new record Gross Profit after Paid Acquisition.

FURTHER PROFITABLE GROWTH ACTIVITY AHEAD

  • B2B travel partners are incrementally rolling out Jayride’s new global destinations; certain existing partners have yet to adopt all destinations, and more growth is expected as they continue their roll-out of Jayride’s 60+ destination countries,

  • SEO website has been initially launched only for Jayride’s five original countries (US, Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland). The website is being enhanced to expand roll-out to all of Jayride’s 60+ destination countries,

  • As global destination coverage increases Jayride expects to be able to secure new B2B travel partnerships for whom global coverage was a prerequisite,

  • Further new destination countries are being added (+29 new countries were added during Q3 FY19). The next major new destination countries targeted for release include China and Japan,

  • Record Gross Profit after Paid Acquisition is expected to be beaten again in Q4 FY19.

NEAR TERM MILESTONES AHEAD

  • Launch of China and Japan destinations will take Jayride’s global Market Access to 85%+ of the world’s traveller destinations,

  • On track to be the world's truly global aggregator of transfers for travellers this year,

  • On track to 24+ quarters (six years) of constant revenue growth during Q4 FY19,

  • On track for cash flow positive quarter in Q1 FY20 with expected receipt of annual Research and Development Tax Incentive.

Demand from travellers has grown strongly:

  • Passenger Trips Booked in new destinations have grown +163% quarter-on-quarter.

  • Over 20,000 Passenger Trips Booked were in these new destinations in Q3 FY19, which is growth of 12,400 trips compared to 7,600 in Q2 FY19.

  • Jayride’s new destinations now account for 20%+ of Jayride’s total business, and this share is expected to increase.

Going forward, success with global expansion is expected to have the following effects:

  • New global destinations have reached a point of maturity where they are expected to contribute meaningfully to Company revenue and GPAPA growth in future quarters.

  • Jayride traveller retention is increasing in both B2C and B2B channels as a direct result of global expansion (passenger trips booked per traveller/partner). This is expected to continue and to further enhance Jayride’s business model, with TTV and revenue growth even as the cost of customer acquisition continues to decrease.

  • Jayride is well positioned to win preferred travel partnership agreements with new international B2B travel partners as a direct result of the company’s strong global supply.

Cash Flow Highlights

AUD$3m Finance Facility Secured, AUD$2m Draw Down

Jayride has secured a finance facility of AUD$3m (in two tranches of AUD$2m and AUD$1m) from Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd, and has drawn down the first AUD$2m of the facility.

The key terms of the facility are detailed in Jayride’s ASX announcement dated 11th March 2019.

Cash Flow Details

Cash control remains a core focus. As a result of cash flows from financing activities, net cash flow during the quarter was positive for the second consecutive quarter, at AUD$0.1 million.

The Company ended the quarter with $AUD2.4 million in cash.

The next time the Company expects to be cash flow positive is in two quarters, Q1 FY20, as a result of the Company’s expected receipt of its annual Research and Development Tax Incentive.

Net Revenues was AUD$0.9 million in Q3 FY19, inline with the guidance given to the ASX.

Net Cash Receipts varies from Net Revenues and was AUD$0.7 million in Q3 FY19. Net cash Receipts is calculated as Jayride’s Total Transaction Value (TTV), less payments to transport 3 companies, refunds, discounts, and working capital movements .

During Q3 each financial year, payments are made to transport companies for peak December holiday travel season, resulting in seasonally high payments to transport companies which has the impact of naturally reducing Net Cash Receipts relative to Net Revenues during each Q3.

Worth noting during Q3 FY19, Net Cash Receipts was impacted by a strong increase in demand from B2B travel partnerships booking on an account basis (as compared to B2C channels which use credit card at booking). This change to cash flow timing takes the form of a one-off working capital movement, and should normalise in future quarters.

3 Cash receipts from customers differ from revenue due to the timing of the cash movements. Cash receipts have seasonal effects, e.g. quarters where larger volumes of advanced booking coincide with smaller volumes of travel. Net cash receipts from customers is the net amount as follows:

Cash received from retail fares booked, usually received at the booking date; Less cash refunded for retail fares refunded, usually paid at the refund date; Less cash payments to transport companies, usually paid after the travel date.

==> picture [120 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Cash payments towards operating activities during Q3 FY19 totalled AUD$(2.5) million, consistent with Q2 FY19 cash payments of AUD$(2.6) million. The Company was able to deploy funds into growth faster than previously anticipated as a result of the new Finance Facility.

The Company completed a restructure during the Q3 period with related costs and payments, and concluded the last of the additional payments towards December’s higher expenses (December holiday promotion, and SEO website engineering contractors). The net effect is a reduced cost base to take the Company forward in Q4 FY19 and future quarters.

In the Appendix 4C attached please note that Section 9, which states Jayride’s estimated cash outflows for Q4 FY19, does not include cash inflows. Cash inflows are expected to increase in Q4 FY19 relative to Q3 as a result of growth in Net Revenues from Passenger Trips Booked, plus receipts from partner bookings made during the Q3 period.
