Pipeline: Yojee has a strong pipeline of new enterprise countries and new enterprise hubs under discussion from existing Enterprise Clients. In addition, Yojee is in advanced discussions with potential new Enterprise Clients.
Definitions [3]
Enterprise Countries - The total number of countries where an enterprise is using Yojee’s subscription based recurring revenue Platform. For example, if two Enterprise Clients are using the Yojee Platform in the same country, this would aggregate to two Enterprise Countries.
Enterprise Client – Is defined as a large client with operations spanning across multiple countries.
Enterprise Hubs or ‘Project’ - A unique Yojee software account deployed within an enterprise. This could be an account specific to a project, an account specific to a customer or an account specific to a location or a mixture of these. For example, if two Enterprise Clients are each operating two hubs with the Yojee Platform, this would aggregate to four enterprise hubs.
Yojee measures operational growth by the number of Enterprise Countries and hubs it has deployed its Platform into.
Transactional volume: The Yojee Platform processed over 1.2m transactions during the December quarter with key countries experiencing unprecedented weather events (typhoons and mass floods) and Covid related lockdowns across peak months, affecting supply chains, especially in the Philippines. It is expected that online businesses will offer promotions and aggressively market in early calendar 2021 to make up for the lower than expected volumes.
The Platform has seen a ramping up of activity following a successful implementation and go-live of the Yojee Platform in the Philippines in late June 2020. Transactions are measured in ‘planned deliveries’[3] , which is an approximate measure for Yojee earning a variable fee depending on the delivery type (containers, pallets or parcels).
==> picture [312 x 182] intentionally omitted <==
3 Planned Deliveries refer to pre-financially audited transaction fee data which describes Platform usage for deliveries (containers, pallets or parcels).

Yojee continues to focus on developing its underlying technology capability to provide supply chains with end to end accountability, visibility and control, along with its global partnering companies. The application of blockchain specific technology is not integral to Yojee’s technology development plans.
MAJOR CONTRACTS UPDATE
Indonesia (announced 16 December 2020): During the quarter, a new 3 year agreement was signed with an existing enterprise client in Indonesia, under standard commercial terms. The client seeks to standardise and further benefit from Yojee’s unique solution that scales globally and supports multiple languages.
The new Indonesia deployment will be initially focused on containers. Data last reported in December 2019 shows Indonesia moved 14.8m TEU (twenty-foot-equivalent unit containers) (Reference – CEICdata), with year on year growth expected. Indonesia supports a population base of over 250 million people. Yojee expects the project to commence revenue generation in under 45 days from signing.
YOJEE PLATFORM ADOPTION (SMEs)
During the quarter, the Company has continued to have success in attracting and signing a range of small and medium enterprises across the Asia Pacific region. In a space that covers companies with a small number of trucks relative to hundreds of millions in revenue, the Company is having success in signing, and advanced discussions with, an existing customer base.
Additionally, a number of subcontractor logistics companies are being onboarded through Yojee’s existing enterprise clients building out the regional Yojee User Network. This has commenced live operations and will enhance the product from a vast pool of users and create an even stronger velocity of new clients and increased stickiness within the Platform and the ecosystem it creates.
FINANCIAL RESULTS[4]
Yojee achieved strong growth in Cash Receipts from Customers for the December ended quarter (Q2 FY201), of 18% to AU$235k compared to AU$198k in the prior quarter (Q1 FY2021). Revenues from Ordinary Activities (Trade) declined 6% to AU$204k compared to the prior quarter.
Revenues were negatively impacted by unprecedented weather events and Covid related lockdowns, as mentioned earlier. At this point Yojee currently generates a material portion of its variable revenue from the Philippines (eCommerce) however this changed late in the quarter after multiple go-lives. The strengthening of the AU$ over the US$ currency negatively impacted revenue by circa 2% on average over the prior quarter (Yojee bills approximately 75% of clients in US$).

OUTLOOK
Yojee Managing Director Ed Clarke said , “We made great progress with multiple go-lives and implementing expansion orders during the quarter and in January. Importantly, we also received a further expansion order from our existing enterprise client base. The strong position we are in enables long term growth, through the key regional and global master services agreements already in place and their associated opportunities, and to transform global supply chains.
We are in ongoing advanced discussions with potential new enterprise clients and are seeing strong engagement from domestic leaders and SME operations who act as operators and subcontractors, a role critical for the success of all supply chains. This is an ongoing process and we expect to reap tangible benefits from our evolving relationships with these groups as we grow our presence in the local markets around the region.”
YOJEE IN THE COVID ENVIRONMENT
The Covid era has presented Yojee with an opportunity to bring solutions to prospective clients who are looking to rapidly digitise in order to support remote teams and meet the requirements of home and touchless delivery in the booming eCommerce sector and the now more digitally demanding B2B sector. Predominantly there has been great opportunity and volume pressure on supply chains making technology even more important.
YOJEE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM DEVELOPMENTS
Yojee continues to strengthen the capability of its Platform. The company has continued to invest in areas such as route optimisation, unique network and subcontractor capabilities and additional IP generating projects it will share with the market at the appropriate time, focused on further improving the experience and benefits our clients experience from using our platform.

Yojee is a cloud-based (SaaS) logistics Platform that seamlessly and uniquely manages, tracks and optimises freight movements along the entire logistics chain, from sender to end customer, across borders and between logistics providers (land, sea, air), with subcontractors and for multi-leg journeys. Rarely is a single carrier servicing an entire goods journey from sender to end customer, or exclusively using one type of transportation method.

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. Yojee continues to develop its visibility, accountability and control solutions across the supply chain.
