Yojee Limited ( Yojee or the Company ) (ASX: YOJ ), is a cloud-based software as a service ( SaaS ) logistics platform that facilitates the flow of freight movements into a single ecosystem, making the complex process of managing land transport simple and reducing carbon emissions for a greener planet. The Company is pleased to provide commentary regarding its activities during the September ended quarter, Q1 FY2022.

OPERATIONS AND GROWTH

Current Enterprise Client Pipeline, Implementation and Roll-Out[1]

Yojee’s Platform continues to be delivered in line with implementation schedules set out by its base of existing global Enterprise Clients, which grew during the quarter from three to four with the addition of Ceva Logistics (global top 10 logistics group). Ceva’s first Hub implementation with Yojee is Singapore, which has already been completed, going live and becoming revenue generating (ASX announcement 23 August 2021).

==> picture [596 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

An existing Enterprise Client signed an expansion order during the quarter to deploy Yojee’s Logistics Platform in the Philippines (ASX announcement 22 September 2021) and post quarter end Yojee announced its first hub expansion order in Europe with an existing Enterprise Client (ASX announcement 27 October 2021), expanding the number of Hubs taking up Yojee’s Platform to 14, of which 8 are live and revenue generating. This is a great example of validation of expansion from an initial Hub into multiple Hubs.

The 8 implemented Logistics Hubs in APAC (Singapore x3, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines), are live and revenue generating. This builds the foundations for progressive growth of future transactional volume and revenues in the Enterprise Client space (see below table).

Growth Opportunity and Growth Levers

The Company has significant growth potential in its pipeline embedded in its existing global Enterprise clients’ APAC footprint which it is focused on growing over the next three years accounting for 126 Hubs[1] , plus a strong pipeline of logistics operators around the region.

The Company has proven a Hub to produce $300k a year in revenue. In the prior quarter, an existing global Enterprise Client announced an 18 country expansion agreement with Yojee across APAC (ASX announcement 28 June 2021), following the successful implementation of a Hub in the Philippines. These expansions are at a planning stage and are not listed in the below Hubs Rollout Summary table however, demonstrate a very strong potential revenue runway.

Yojee is focused on further developing its embedded growth beyond its current Hubs in APAC with existing Enterprise Clients and is in advanced discussions to expand beyond APAC.

Yojee Labs Launched

The Company launched ‘Yojee Labs’ (Labs) on the back of unprecedented demand seen in supply chain logistics with sales opportunities across a number of areas including warehouses, leveraging Yojee’s existing technology capabilities (ASX announcement 1 September 2021).

Suite 9, 330 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco WA 6008 Ι PO Box 866, Subiaco WA 6904 P + 61 8 6489 1600 Ι F + 61 8 6489 1601 Ι ABN 52 143 416 53

==> picture [596 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

Labs will see the development of extended solutions to help solve logistics challenges globally, including IoT. An experienced R&D team has been established and the first Proof of Concept (POC) programs are underway linked to existing Enterprise Clients.

Logistics Network Partners

The Company has grown its network of downstream logistics partners and has reached 100+ downstream logistics network partners working under its current Enterprise Clients (subcontractors).

The addition of logistics network partners is a substantial achievement for Yojee and its customers in building ecosystems to support transactional revenue growth. The Company sees strong potential in this area for future growth.

See the March quarterly report for commentary on network benefits (ASX announcement 19 April 2021).

Small and Mid-Sized Roll-out

The Company signed several agreements with small and mid-sized companies throughout the quarter in the SME sales program.

Yojee Platform

The Yojee Platform continues to achieve strong value add for its Enterprise Clients as demonstrated by improvement of delivery efficiency and strong customer feedback through both formal reviews and statistical surveys to the user base.

Transactional volume

The Yojee Platform processed 680,000 ‘planned delivery’[4] transactions during the September quarter across its live Logistics Hubs in the Asia Pacific region. The September quarter was significantly impacted by Covid.

Transactional volumes are expected to grow as existing and new Hubs are deployed across APAC, in line with the Company’s 126 Hubs embedded growth roll-out pathway.

FINANCIAL RESULTS[5]

Revenues from Ordinary Activities (Trade) were AU$337k in Q1 FY2022, down 7% the prior quarter (Q4 FY2021) and up 55% on the same quarter in the previous year (Q1 FY2021) due to aforementioned Covid impacts. Cash Receipts from Customers were AU$223k in Q1 FY2022, down 8% on the prior quarter (Q4 FY2021) and up 12% on the same quarter in the previous year (Q1 FY2021).

EMPLOYEE ADDITIONS

New hires were made into key areas of the business during the quarter to support deployments with existing Enterprise Clients, in customer success and in product. This is in line with the APAC embedded growth objectives and the Company’s long term global ambitions.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S UPDATE AND OUTLOOK

Yojee Managing Director Ed Clarke said, “We have already made significant progress towards Yojee’s embedded growth pathway of deployments of Yojee’s Platform into 126 Hubs across APAC with our existing global Enterprise Client base. Only recently in this quarter we signed expanded master services agreements covering additional countries now totalling 19, which have the potential for each to lead to multiple Hubs in each country over time.

We have clear momentum building and discussions are ongoing with existing and new Enterprise Clients for Yojee to develop a deeper and wider presence across the supply chain in APAC and beyond. Significant progress has been made throughout FY2021 laying the foundations for growth and another record year is expected looking forward into FY2022.”

to all players whilst reducing carbon emissions for a greener planet. Rarely is a single carrier servicing an entire goods journey from sender to end customer, or exclusively using one type of transportation method. Yojee provides connectivity and more efficient planning along the entire journey.

Yojee’s customers are predominantly third-party logistics providers (3PL) and logistics subcontractors (2PL) who benefit from:

  1. Managing, Tracking and Auditing goods movements. All job and location data is made easily accessible and can be shared with up and down-stream providers end to end. Customers experience improved delivery windows.

  2. Route and schedule optimisation. Tracking data allows 2PL and 3PL operators to generate cost savings through Yojee’s powerful optimisation capability across vehicle selection, utilisation and routing.

Yojee’s solution is flexible and integrates seamlessly through API’s into existing logistics provider systems to access and share key data across part or all of the goods journey. The more segments that use Yojee, the more powerful it becomes. Yojee’s business is focused on Asia and is expanding rapidly. Yojee’s platform has evolved through recent technological developments in cloud-based computing and information processing capability. Future steps now under development will see Yojee further advance logistics its connectivity and route optimisation through distributed ledger blockchain technology. This will see smart information access and activation, providing logistics companies and agencies information such as location, size and weight data, and customs requirements that are timely, contextually accessible and highly secure.

Yojee services the logistics market at both the SME and enterprise levels with a focus on APAC and to date has signed multiyear enterprise-level agreements with four global top 10 freight forwarders operating in the region. Yojee has strong corporate citizenship working with industry to reduce carbon emissions, by removing paper and logistics congestion through digitisation and vastly improving efficiency, speaking to our social license to operate.
