Trips modestly impacted in Q2
Passenger Trips Booked were 51K in Q2 FY22, down 21% vs prior quarter Q1 FY22 and up 238% vs Q2 FY21.
Trips were modestly impacted in Q2 with winter in the northern hemisphere, Europe lockdowns, and omicron-related border closures. Q2 FY22 was the Company’s second-best quarter since the onset of the pandemic with trips up 238% versus the prior corresponding period of Q2 FY21. The Company continues to win share in Europe, as evidenced by trips which are above pre-pandemic all-time highs at 22K.

Contribution profit continues above pre-pandemic highs
Contribution profit was $168K in Q2 FY22, down 9% vs prior quarter and up 322% vs Q2 FY21. This is the:
-
Second highest ever quarterly contribution profit result,
-
Second highest ever quarterly contribution margin at 42%, and
-
Third consecutive quarter with contribution profit above pre-pandemic all-time highs.
The improvement in contribution versus the prior corresponding period, up 322%, is a result of
fundamental improvements in revenue per trip and operating leverage, despite elevated refund rates.
| Trips | Net Revenue | Variable Cost | Contribution | Contribution | Contribution | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Date | (#) | / Trip ($) | / Trip ($) | Margin (%) | ($K) | Growth V PCP |
| Q2 FY21 | 15,200 | $7.31 | $4.69 | 36% | $40K | |
| Q3 FY21 | 25,700 | $7.62 | $4.70 | 38% | $75K | |
| Q4 FY21 | 46,900 | $7.43 | $4.08 | 45% | $157K | |
| Q1 FY22 | 64,900 | $7.50 | $4.62 | 38% | $187K | |

-
New vehicles and service classes launched in December are beginning to increase net revenue per trip. In Q2 FY22 net revenue per trip increased to $7.71,
-
These improvements increased net revenue per trip despite increased refund rates, which positions net revenue per trip to increase further as refund rates return to historical norms,
-
Investments to improve operating leverage kept variable costs per trip controlled at $4.44, an improvement vs Q1 FY22 and the second lowest cost per trip in Company history,
-
Contribution margin of 42% is positioned to increase further, and margin expansion is on track to the Company’s 50% target as refund rates stabilise.

Enhanced stand still operating cash flow
The Company achieved Stand Still Operating Cash Flows (pre- growth investments) of $(148)k in Q2 FY22, an improvement of $400k vs $(548)k in Q1 FY22. The Company also began to selectively deploy the proceeds of the Company’s capital raise with $1.01m invested in future growth and scale.

Cash receipts from customers increased substantially to $380K, up $112% vs prior quarter Q1 FY22 and up 133% vs Q2 FY21. These improvements have come as a result of successful collections, and enhancements to operating processes that have led to reduced debtor days.
The Company typically runs a negative working capital model. In Q2 receipt movement from passenger trips booked was $42K as the Company began to rebuild its cash float, positioned for more ahead.
Following the completion of balance sheet repair in the prior quarter, the Company incurred no further balance sheet repair costs, no further interest costs, and required no further financing.
Related parties were paid $174K during the December quarter.
The Company’s R&D tax incentive of $330K was not received during Q2 FY22. It was lodged successfully during the quarter and the funds are now expected to be received during Q3 FY22.
On 31st December 2021, the Company held $5.6M of cash and cash equivalents.
Positive outlook continues
Jayride is ideally placed to deliver growth and improved contribution profit as trip volumes rise in 2H FY22 and beyond, accelerating the Company’s progress towards stand still EBITDA and stand still operating cash flow positive. Drivers of increased revenues and profits include -
Potential to Increase passenger trips, through:
-
investments to deploy new vehicle classes and service types into new channels like booking.com to increase the Company’s total addressable market, market share and reach,
-
expansion in the Company’s major markets in North America and Europe with summer in Jayride’s largest markets driving higher seasonal travel.
Potential to increase contribution profits with operating leverage and scale, through:
-
increased net revenues per trip with further investment in the Company’s expanded traveller offer, including the Company’s new vehicles and service types available across the full Q3; as refund rates reduce back to pre-pandemic levels through continued reopening; and as a result of continued improvements to the Company’s operating model,
-
decreased variable costs per trip through operating leverage and continued investment into systems and automation to drive improvements in our operating model.
Potential to compliment the Company’s strong organic growth with disciplined acquisitions that are:
-
consistent with Jayride’s strategy to accelerate growth in scale in key markets,
-
clearly able to add new channels that reach new travellers, and
-
are on compelling financial terms.
