GURUGRAM, India and
NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Yatra Online,
Inc. (NASDAQ: YTRA, OTCQX: YTROF), 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
June 30, 2020.
"We are starting to see a gradual recovery in travel after the
reopening of domestic aviation towards the end of May 2020 post India's nationwide lockdown in March and April
earlier this year. During the quarter we focused our efforts on
restructuring our costs and significantly brought down our fixed
cost run rate from approximately INR 203.9 million (USD 2.7 million) a month in March 2020 to approximately INR 90.6 million
(USD 1.2 million) a month in
May 2020 through a combination
of salary cuts ranging from 25% to 75% and renegotiation of
contracts with our various service providers. There was an adverse
impact of INR 168.4 million (USD 2.2
million) on our operating performance in the current quarter
due to legal and professional fees related to the merger
transaction with Ebix, Inc. Excluding such fees, our Adjusted
EBITDA loss would have been INR 141.0 million (USD 1.9 million) for the quarter versus an
Adjusted EBITDA loss of INR 205.8 million (USD 2.7 million) for the same quarter last year.
We believe our current liquidity position and cost restructuring
efforts will provide us with enough capital to withstand a
prolonged slowdown in the travel industry should that occur."
Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and
CEO.
Financial and operating highlights for the three
months ended June 30, 2020:
- Revenue of INR 192.0 million (USD 2.5 million).
- Adjusted Revenue of INR 236.2 million (USD 3.1 million ), representing a decrease of
86.2% YOY.
- Adjusted Revenue from Air Ticketing of INR
170.2 million (USD 2.3 million),
