YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

 

Gurugram, India and New York February 4, 2021— 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 December 31, 2020

 

“India continues to make good progress in its fight against Covid. The number of cases in India in January 2021 is trending at about 12,000 a day down from the peak of 90,000 a day, based on data from Indian Health Ministry. We believe this steady decline in cases over the past few months is giving consumers the confidence to travel domestically. We have seen airline capacity and loads improving, with domestic December traffic averaging approximately 230,000 passengers a day, up from 125,000 a day in September. December 2020 passenger traffic now stands at 56.3% of December 2019 levels based on data from “Directorate General of Civil Aviation India”.”

 

“This recovery in domestic travel led to a sequential quarterly growth of 60% in our Adjusted Revenue to INR 606.6 million (USD 8.3 million).  This growth in revenue further combined with strong cost control enabled us to reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss sequentially from INR 125.0 million (USD 1.7 million) in the September 2020 quarter to INR 36.4 million (USD 0.5 million) in the December 2020 quarter. We continue to make strong progress towards our stated goal of achieving Adjusted EBITDA break even in the first half of 2021 and believe our current liquidity position and cost optimization efforts provide us with enough capital to withstand a prolonged slowdown in the travel industry should that occur.” Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.

Recent Developments

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The impact of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"), which was initially detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread globally, is gradually being contained by the global community. In recent months, India has also begun its recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, evidenced by increased economic activity in India, both generally and within the travel industry. India has also started a vaccination program, immunizing individuals in a staggered fashion beginning with frontline workers and, with this and certain other measures in place, the restrictions imposed on travel are being gradually phased out. The Company has adopted certain cost control measures, which we believe have helped mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

 

Ebix Litigation Update

 

As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2020, the Group provided to Ebix, Inc. ("Ebix") a notice terminating the Merger Agreement dated as of July 16, 2019 by and among us, Ebix, and EbixCash Travels Inc. ("EbixCash") and filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Ebix and EbixCash for their various breaches of the Merger Agreement and an ancillary agreement executed by the parties on May 14, 2020 (the "Extension Agreement").  The Complaint alleges that Ebix breached its representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in the Merger Agreement and Extension Agreement and that its conduct prevented the parties from closing the Merger. The Complaint seeks monetary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and reasonable fees and costs. On August 14, 2020, Ebix filed  a motion to dismiss the Complaint, which the Group is in the process of responding to. On September 30, 2020, Yatra filed an amended complaint by expanding its claims against certain banks of Ebix, while also expanding the claims alleged against Ebix to include a claim for fraud.

Results of Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

 

Revenue.  We generated revenue of INR 309.1 million (USD 4.2 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of 84.3% compared with INR 1,966.8 million (USD 26.9 million) in three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including lower travel demand due to travel restrictions. Our revenue in the current reported three months ended increased from INR 263.3 million (USD 3.6 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2020; an improvement of INR 45.8 million (USD 0.6 million) quarter on quarter due to gradual recovery in travel demand.

 

Service Cost.  Our service cost decreased to INR 5.9 million (USD 0.1 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2020 from INR 807.5 million (USD 11.1 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to the significant decrease in our sales of holiday packages due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including lower travel demand due to travel restrictions.

 

Adjusted Revenue(1)  Our Adjusted Revenue decreased by 61.8% to INR 606.6 million (USD 8.3 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2020 from INR 1,586.6 million (USD 21.7 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted Revenue includes the add-back of INR 287.6 million (USD 3.9 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2020 from INR 402.3 million (USD 5.5 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2019, of expenses in the nature of consumer promotion and certain loyalty program costs reduced from revenue. These expenses have been added back to calculate Adjusted Revenue, with the accompanying increase in marketing and sales promotions expenses, to more accurately reflect the way we view our ongoing business. Under IFRS 15, these expenses are required to be reduced from revenue, an IFRS measure. The decrease in Adjusted Revenue resulted mainly from a decrease of 58.1% in our Adjusted Revenue from Air Ticketing along with a decrease of 48.8% in our Adjusted Revenue from Hotels and Packages and decrease of 80.5% in Others (Including Other Income) which primarily consists of advertisement income and government grants.

 

On a sequential basis Adjusted Revenue increased by 60.6% compared to Adjusted Revenue of INR 377.7 million (USD 5.2 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to a gradual recovery in travel demand, largely within the domestic market.

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 Revenue, which is a non-IFRS measure. Effective April 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard, IFRS 15, under which promotional expenses in the nature of customer inducement/acquisition costs for acquiring customers and promoting transactions across various booking platforms, such as upfront incentives and loyalty programs cost, some of which, when incurred were previously recorded as marketing and sales promotion costs, are now being recorded as a reduction of revenue.

 

We believe that Adjusted Revenue 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 Revenue 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 Revenue, we also refer to Adjusted EBITDA Profit/ (Loss), Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted 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 and change in fair value of warrants. 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.

 

·Change in fair value of warrants - Consequent to consummation of the business combination, the Company assumed 34.67 million warrants having a right to subscribe for 17.33 million ordinary shares of the Company and the warrants issued to Macquarie Corporate Holdings PTY Limited. The accounting guidance requires that we record any change in the fair value of these warrants in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss. We have excluded the effect of the implied fair value changes in calculating our non-IFRS financial measures.

 

We evaluate the performance of our business after excluding the impact of above measures and believe it is useful to understand the effects of these items on our results from operations, Profit 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 /(loss), Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted loss Per Share as against using the measures in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB are that these non-IFRS financial measures exclude share-based compensation cost, change in fair value of warrants and depreciation and amortization in case of Adjusted EBITDA profit /(loss). Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the IFRS amounts excluded from Adjusted EBITDA profit /(loss), Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share.
