The core Rent.com.au portal business

  • June 2020 quarter was best ever EBITDA at just $43k loss for the quarter

  • July and August pacing ahead of June - on track for record revenue quarter

  • Impact of Victorian lockdown marginal, offset by increases in other states

  • Strong future growth potential from existing products as well as ability to develop new products ( e.g. commercialising RNT’s significant data assets )

Building this consistent and engaged audience of 700,000 unique visitors per month makes rent.com.au the key channel from which to launch into the tenancy period via RentPay

Tenancy -a significant market opportunity

==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Extending our customer relationship beyond search is a logical step, in line with our vision to “reimagine renting”

Only 5% of renters are actively searching for a property each month, this move allows us to engage with the other 95% (the entire market)

All statistics quoted are from RENT research, calculated using both internal and external/third party data. * Customer value calculated as: RR = monthly Renter Products Revenue / Renter Resume created, RentPay = RentPay revenue / RentPay customers x average tenancy duration

and payment is the logical vehicle for us to disrupt

==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Rental payments are a reality for all renters and an area we aim to change.

60%[†] 58%[†] 56%[†] of renters want a payment of renters want their good of renters want the choice of confirmation or receipt so payment history to be timing when they pay rather they know their rent has recognised and rewarded than when they have to been received

The regular nature of payments provides opportunity for us to engage customers and add value.

It’s also an area where needs are not being met. Flexibility and choice are what customers demand.
