Yojee December Q2 FY2024 Activity Report

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue (trade) was $177k in the December quarter.

  • Revenue (trade) and cash receipts reductions from the prior quarter are mainly a result of the discontinuation of SendSingapore Logistics Business as announced on 12 September 2023, which was loss making in FY2023.

  • Net operating cash outflows for the quarter was $610k; the Company continues to tightly manage cash outflows and move towards a pathway to profitability.

  • Senior management changes: Darren Palfrey, former Yojee Chief Revenue Officer, took over the role of Chief Executive Officer from Co-founder Ed Clarke on 26 October 2023.

  • Capital raising announced on 15 November 2023 to raise $4,512k consisting of a two-stage placement and an entitlement issue. Proceeds from the first placement ($331k) and the entitlement issue including shareholder shortfall participation ($2,489k) have been received in December 2023 and January 2024 respectively. The remaining shortfall from the Entitlement Issue ($133k) and the second placement ($1,549k) are ongoing and subject to shareholder approval.

  • Cash position of $1,692k at the end of December 2023 and no debt; includes $331k of proceeds from the first placement (from the ongoing capital raising) received in December 2023.

Yojee Limited ( Yojee or the Company ) (ASX: YOJ ), Yojee is a leading developer and provider of software solutions to the Asian Pacific contracted road transportation industry. Our customers include leading third-party logistics providers and early-regional transport management technology adopters.

Yojee’s mission is to enable Asian Pacific contract road transportation networks to be the world's most reliable, efficient and sustainable. The Yojee Transport Management System (TMS) enables third-party logistics providers to assign loads, manage shipments, and track contracted road carriers' vehicles and drivers in real-time as they deliver their customers’ freight.

CEO’S UPDATE AND OUTLOOK

CEO Darren Palfrey said, “It is recognised that we have much work ahead of us to deliver on the mission of Yojee. However, the opportunity for the Company grows every day. With a renewed focus and discipline, I am excited to partner with the team, the board and our shareholders to further build out a transport management solution that enables Asia Pacific's contracted road transportation networks to become the most reliable, efficient and trusted in the world.

To this end, we have completed the exit from the non-core business lines SendSingapore and Connected Warehouse and ended software agreements and partnership referrals with several nonprofitable customers this quarter.

==> picture [596 x 98] intentionally omitted <==

As a result, whilst our quarterly trade revenue was reduced, we have a feasible pathway to increasing the transactional volumes managed in the Yojee TMS. Solid business fundamentals and a simplified but compelling value proposition underpin this pathway in a significantly sized market, and my focus is solely on executing these.

We continue to manage our costs with rigorous discipline while ensuring that we invest appropriately in the key drivers of transactional volumes, our product's continuous development and our enterprise sales and marketing execution.

The $4,512k capital raise we announced in November 2023 is ongoing. However, I am pleased to note the strong support we have received so far, for which we thank our shareholders. The funds raised in addition to our existing cash position will provide a meaningful extension to our runway and the flexibility to execute our focused strategy, which has received a positive response from our stakeholders.”

MAJOR CONTRACTS UPDATE

Existing customer update: Our enterprise customers continue to operate in a challenging regional logistics market, with many undergoing organisational efficiency drives with a renewed focus on costs. Despite this and our intentional exit from several agreements and partnership referral agreements, our transport management software transactional volumes showed a single digit increase quarter on quarter.

In line with many macro forecasts, we expect the growth of the region's logistics market to remain subdued, impacting our enterprise customers as they continue to align their business to the current economic environment.

Other – Discontinuation of SendSingapore Logistics Business and Connected Warehouse Product: The SendSingapore Logistics Business and Connected Warehouse Product has been successfully discontinued, and there are no anticipated additional financial implications.

PIPELINE

This quarter saw us progressing opportunities with a renewed focus and discipline in our target market.

Our early-stage direct sales pipeline is strong as we enter calendar year 2024, and whilst we are seeing an increase in sales cycle length due to the state of the industry, we are confident that the investments we are making in our product and enterprise sales execution capabilities will enable us to manage this.

We refined our partnership channel program in the quarter to work with a smaller number of higherquality and relevant partners who complement our concentration on the region's third-party logistics providers contracted road network segment. This has begun to yield a greater velocity of qualified early-stage leads than previously.
