JUST DIAL ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

Mumbai, India, January 29, 2021 – Just Dial Limited (BSE: 535648, NSE: JUSTDIAL), India’s leading local search engine company, today announced its financial and operating results for its third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020. Following are the key highlights:

  • Traffic (Quarterly Unique Visitors) in 3Q-FY21 stood at 132.6 million users

  • 3Q-FY21 Revenue stood at ₹ 169.5 Crores; adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 28.4%

  • Deferred Revenue stood at ₹ 305.3 Crores, 9.2% QoQ increase

  • Net Profit for 3Q-FY21 stood at ₹ 49.9 Crores, 29.5% Net Profit Margin

  • Cash and Investments stood at ₹ 1,509.6 Crores as on December 31, 2020

Post-COVID recovery:

  • As a result of lockdown imposed by the Government in March 2020 owing to COVID-19, the Company moved to Work-from-Home (WFH) for all employees. Post lockdown relaxations, Company has opened its offices across India in line with Government’s directives issued from time to time.

  • To optimize discretionary costs, Company had curtailed its advertising spends (both digital and nondigital) from April 2020. Majority of traffic is presently coming organically (without advertising). For 1Q FY21, 2Q FY21 and 3Q FY21, we had 100 million (declined 35.9% YoY), 130.6 million (declined 19% YoY) and 132.6 million (declined 15.6% YoY) quarterly unique visitors, respectively. Organic traffic has recovered steadily from COVID-19 impact and advertising spends are gradually resuming.

  • With lockdown easing and impact of COVID-19 abating, monetization has been on an improving trajectory. 3Q FY21 Collections grew 22% QoQ (down 13.6% YoY). Consequently, deferred revenue witnessed 9.2% QoQ increase to ₹ 305.3 Crores, as on 31 Dec 2020. Overall, monthly monetization currently stands at ~80% of pre-COVID levels which is reasonably healthy considering the severe impact COVID-19 has had on SMEs.

  • While prioritizing safety and well-being of its employees, the Company is extensively leveraging technology for its operations. While the Company has a strong Balance Sheet and robust cash position, the Company is re-evaluating and optimizing all costs (despite ~30% YoY decline in revenue
