Quarterly Business Review and Appendix 4C
Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY) (the Company or Jayride), the global online travel marketplace for airport transfers, provides a review of its activities over the quarter ended 31 March 2025 (Q3 FY25 or the Quarter) and the corresponding Appendix 4C.
Highlights:
-
Appointment of new management team in March 2025 to lead the Company through a significant restructuring aimed at materially reducing operating costs and improving core technologies
-
$1.51 million raised from an entitlement offer, including a $1 million underwritten component led by new director Brett Partridge
-
Significant balance sheet improvement as a result of capital raising and conversion of all convertible note debt into equity at $0.003 per share, however payables to transport supplier creditors remain a large burden and a primary focus of new management to resolve
-
New management team are undertaking a deep operational review aimed at both immediate cost rationalisation and technology and process improvements – targeting an initial 50% reduction in operational costs within months
-
Payments processing has been identified as a key area where Jayride can improve with technology – reducing the cost of receiving payments from direct channel customers and reducing the manual processing time and delay in paying out to transport providers
-
Operating performance constrained by transport providers, with significant time being expended by new management team to improve relationships with transport providers
-
Demand on Jayride, measured by quote-requests continues to appear strong reflecting a likelihood that addressing supply constraints should enable the Company to return to prior booking volumes and beyond.
Commenting on the Quarter, Chief Executive Officer Randy Prado said:
“Since stepping into the role in March, my priority has been to deeply understand the foundations of Jayride — our technology, operations, and cost structures. We’ve already identified and actioned early opportunities to reduce costs and streamline processes. At the same time, we’re laying the groundwork to reduce manual touchpoints across the business and drive greater automation. These efforts are essential as we position Jayride for scalable, sustainable growth.”
Appointment of New Management Team and Capital Raising
In February, the Company announced that it had secured interest from an investor group led by (now director) Brett Partridge which would bring to the Company a new management team and a commitment to underwrite $1 million of a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer at $0.003 per share.
The management team – led by Randy Prado as CEO – has brought a fresh perspective on business operations to the company and will aim to lead it to a new phase of growth. Randy (CEO), Ram Navaratnam (Director of Finance), and Patrick Campbell (Chief Marketing Officer) continue to provide their services to the Company without drawing any ordinary consulting fees (other than expenses incurred) through this initial restructuring phase.

The entitlement offer, partially underwritten by Brett Patridge, closed in March 2025 raising a total of $1.51 million from existing eligible shareholders and sub-underwriters introduced to the Company. Additionally, Jayride completed a full conversion of $1.98 million in convertible notes into equity in parallel with the close of the entitlement offer. As a result of these two events, Jayride has seen a material improvement in its balance sheet. However, there remains a significant amount outstanding to transport supplier creditors. Jayride continues actively engaging with transport suppliers to resolve these outstanding balances and ensure that partners continue working with Jayride.
Operational and Tech Review
Under new management, Jayride is conducting operational and technology reviews simultaneously. The primary aim is to reduce operating expenses and improve internal processes to reduce manual processing and enable the Company to expand its operational scale sustainably.
Jayride announced the commencement of the technology segment of this review in late March and engaged InFocus Group Holdings Limited (ASX:IFG) as an external consultant to assist the Company in this tech review and on the development of a tech roadmap for the Company.
Jayride is in the early stages of exploring future payment processing technologies that could significantly differentiate Jayride from other ground transportation aggregators. Making timely payments to transport suppliers in an automated process would restore confidence amongst suppliers in Jayride and resolve a key issue that is largely unresolved in the industry.
Jayride expects to provide further updates as these works continue in the coming months.
Operational Performance
The Company continues to experience constrained supply from transport providers as a result of ongoing delays in making historical transport supplier payments. The Company, under new management, has been actively engaging with transport suppliers to enter into payment plans and restore transport supplier confidence in the Company. Q3 FY25 reflects a low-point in these relationships. Jayride remains confident in its ability to restore supply on the platform and return to prior revenue levels as these relationships improve and new relationships are forged.
The new payment processing technology being explored is likely to also prove to be a significant draw-card for future transport provider engagement and re-engagement.
As a result of the above, receipts from customers were lower than the prior quarter, totalling $1.09 million, although operational costs are reducing as new management undertakes their review.
Management are targeting to achieve a ~50% reduction in operational costs to be realised within months, providing a lower hurdle for the Company to achieve cash flow breakeven.
Despite constrained supply, Jayride continues to see strong demand on the platform with quote requests steady. This continues to suggest to the Company that as the supply issues are resolved with transport providers, Jayride is likely to return to at least prior operating volumes.
Corporate
As noted above, the Company raised a total of $1.51 million during the quarter and retired $1.98 million of convertible notes all at $0.003 per share. The capital raising and the convertible note conversions together have materially improved the Company’s balance sheet and removed the security held by noteholders over the Company’s assets. During the Quarter, there were no payments to related parties as the Company looked to withhold payments to directors as part of its cash conservation approach.
