Exhibit 99.1

 

YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

Gurugram, India and New York November 17, 2023— Yatra Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: YTRA) (the “Company”), India’s leading corporate travel services provider and one of India’s leading online travel companies, today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

“We delivered strong growth of Air Passengers booked up 31.2% YoY far outpacing domestic air passenger industry growth of 22.7% YoY, clearly demonstrating our ability to gain market share and the strength of the YATRA brand. Our revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was reported at INR 947.6 million (USD 11.4 million) up 14.0% YoY. Adjusted Margin from Air Ticketing of USD 12.3 million was down by 4.8% YoY largely on account of a 14.7% YoY softening in Air ticket prices. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached INR 34.9 million (USD 0.4 million), lower vs. the September 2022 quarter at INR 77.7 million (USD 0.9 million).

 

Yatra Online Limited, our Indian subsidiary, was successfully listed on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and on the Bombay Stock Exchange on September 28, 2023 consummating the IPO of INR 7,750 million. The proceeds from this milestone will predominantly fuel our strategic growth, technology advancements, and customer-centric initiatives.

 

We believe the IPO will also be beneficial to the consolidated company on several fronts as it provides a liquid stock that can be used for M&A in India. In addition, the transaction expands the shareholder base of the consolidated company by adding retail and institutional investors in India already familiar with Yatra’s business and brand while increasing its visibility through a larger pool of equity analysts.

 

Additionally, I would also like to share that the Board has authorized a share repurchase of up to $5 million of our NASDAQ listed YTRA shares, underscoring our confidence in Yatra’s future and our steadfast commitment to delivering shareholder value. This authorization represents approximately 5% of Yatra Online, Inc’s market capitalization based on the current share price.

 

In conclusion, as we navigate the evolving landscape, our commitment remains unwavering—to leverage growth opportunities and ensure Yatra’s continued ascent” - Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.

On November 17, 2023 the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $5 million of its outstanding ordinary shares listed on NASDAQ, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), over an unlimited time period.

 

Results of Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

 

Revenue. We generated Revenue of INR 947.6 million (USD 11.4 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 14.0% compared with INR 831.4 million (USD 10.0 million) in three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

The increase in revenue was primarily due to the sustained elevated travel demand in India in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and an accrual of threshold bonus for Global Distribution System (“GDS”) contracts in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Service cost. Our Service cost increased to INR 166.1 million (USD 2.0 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to Service cost of INR 94.1 million (USD 1.1 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher package sales in the three months ended September 30, 2023 on account of recovery in consumer travel markets.

 

The following table reconciles our Revenue (an IFRS measure) to Adjusted Margin (a non-IFRS measure), for further details, see section below titled “Certain Non-IFRS Measures.”

The increase in Revenue and Adjusted Margin in the three months ended September 30, 2023 is on account of recovery in domestic travel, along with addition of new distribution partners and on account of change in mix of corporate business.

The conference call will also be available via webcast at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/513072489 ..

 

Certain Non-IFRS Measures

 

As certain parts of our Revenue are recognized on a “net” basis and other parts of our Revenue are recognized on a “gross” basis, we evaluate our financial performance based on Adjusted Margin, which is a non-IFRS measure.

 

We believe that Adjusted Margin provides investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business and more accurately reflects the value addition of the travel services that we provide to our customers. The presentation of this non-IFRS information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our unaudited condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Our Adjusted Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation.

 

In addition to referring to Adjusted Margin, we also refer to Adjusted EBITDA Profit, Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Profit/(Loss) for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share which are also non-IFRS measures. For our internal management reporting, budgeting and decision-making purposes, including comparing our operating results to that of our competitors, these non-IFRS financial measures exclude employee share-based compensation cost, impairment of loan to joint venture and listing and related expenses. Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following:

 

  Employee share-based compensation cost - The compensation cost to be recorded is dependent on varying available valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions that companies can use while valuing these expenses especially when adopting IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”. Thus, the management believes that providing non-IFRS financial measures that exclude such expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.

 

 

 

 

  Impairment of loan to joint venture - The impairment cost to be recorded is dependent on varying available valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions that companies can use while valuing the fair value of the assets on the balance sheet date. Thus, the management believes that providing non-IFRS financial measures that exclude such expenses allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
  Listing and related expenses - These primarily reflect the non-recurring expenses incurred on the Indian IPO process.

 

We evaluate the performance of our business after excluding the impact of the above measures and believe it is useful to understand the effects of these items on our results from operations, Profit/(Loss) for the period and Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our unaudited condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation.

 

A limitation of using Adjusted EBITDA Profit, Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Profit/(Loss) for the period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share as against using measures in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB are that these non-IFRS financial measures exclude share-based compensation cost, listing and related expenses, impairment of loan to joint venture and depreciation and amortization in case of Adjusted EBITDA profit. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the IFRS amounts excluded from Adjusted EBITDA profit, Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Profit/(Loss) for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share.

 

The following table reconciles our Losses for the periods (an IFRS measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) for the periods indicated:
