Exhibit 99.1

 

YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

 

Gurugram, India and New York May 30, 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 and year ended March 31, 2023.

 

“We wrapped up Fiscal Year 2023, with our strongest quarter yet since the onset of COVID, registering an exceptional YoY growth of 97.4% in Revenue and 93.3% in Adjusted Revenue. This strong performance is attributed to the marked recovery and market share gains in recent quarters in both our consumer and corporate travel businesses which enabled us to achieve the highest payout slabs for our year end incentives with GDS and airlines. Additionally, the successful onboarding of new corporate customers in our business travel segment further bolstered our growth trajectory. Notably, we signed a record number of 97 medium to large corporate customers in the year ended March 31, 2023, a testament to our corporate leadership and capabilities and the continued recovery in the travel sector. Our revenue and adjusted revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, were reported at INR 1,194.3 million (USD 14.5 million) and INR 1,894.9 million (USD 23.1 million) respectively, well exceeding our projected guidance range of $19.5-20.5 million in adjusted revenue issued last quarter. In a stark contrast to the INR 53.4 million loss in the corresponding quarter in the prior year, we delivered a profit of INR 7.5 million (USD 0.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached INR 185.6 million (USD 2.3 million), marking a significant increase of 251% YoY. India’s domestic passenger traffic grew by 4.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the prior quarter. Our domestic passenger traffic grew 33% compared to the prior quarter, reflecting strong underlining momentum in the business.

 

The domestic aviation industry in India grew 51% YoY reflecting a swift recovery from the lows of COVID and the long term growth trajectory for the Indian travel market remains very positive. This positive momentum carried over into the new fiscal year as well with April 2023, traffic rising 17% YoY to 12.9 million passengers. International travel has also shown a steady improvement during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, reaching approximately 90% of pre-COVID levels. As we move forward, we remain optimistic and committed to leveraging these positive trends to drive further growth and success.

 

Yatra Online Limited, our Indian subsidiary, or “Yatra India,” filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) on March 25, 2022. This was submitted to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the primary regulatory body for the stock market in India, in preparation for a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO). The plan includes listing Yatra India’s equity shares on the Indian stock exchanges, hence referred to as the “Indian IPO”.

 

On November 17, 2022, we received the final observation letter from SEBI, indicating that the IPO can open for subscription within a year from the said date. In light of this, we embarked on our India investor outreach (IPO roadshow) in the early part of the March quarter. This involved engaging with prominent investors in India, including leading domestic mutual funds, family offices, and hedge funds in the Indian market. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive due to our strong performance, the evident recovery of both consumer and corporate travel in India, and favorable macro trends that suggest a potential for sustained growth in the sector. However, due to the broader macro environment in the global market, the investor feedback process has been lengthier than we anticipated. Despite this, we have noted that key investors continue to express interest and engagement. This gives us confidence in our prospects for a successful IPO. Aside from bolstering our financial position, we believe that this offering will provide us with the opportunity to more assertively pursue new corporate business. Additionally, it will enable us to explore strategic alliances with partners who may have been hesitant to engage with an overseas structure in the past.” - Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.

Initial Public Offering of Yatra Online Limited

 

Yatra Online Limited (“Yatra India”) is contemplating an initial public offering of its equity shares (“Equity Shares”) in India and filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) on March 25, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Board of India. The Equity Shares will not be interchangeable with the Ordinary Shares.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The Indian travel industry continues to see strong recovery in both Corporate and Consumer sectors as evidenced by the financial operating results mentioned in this form above, with both sectors growing healthily YoY. Despite the overwhelming recovery of the business in the last fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will, to some extent, remain unpredictable on our business, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects including the severity, extent and duration of the pandemic, its impact on the travel industries and consumer spending, rates of vaccination and the effectiveness of vaccinations against various mutations or variants of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to emphasise upon automating various of our functions in order to enhance the efficiency and customer experience along with certain cost reduction initiatives.

 

GoAir

 

On May 2, 2023, Go Airlines (India) Limited, or Go First, one of the smaller domestic airlines, filed an application for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal, or NCLT, in India, citing the supply of faulty aircraft engines and failure of its engine supplier to replace them on time, which resulted in the grounding of half of its fleet and consequent operational and financial issues. On May 10, 2023, the NCLT admitted the application and granted protection to Go First by imposing a moratorium against recovery by lessors, lenders and other creditors of Go First. In addition, the NCLT has appointed an interim resolution professional (IRP) to operate Go First and to maintain Go First as a going concern We have made the appropriate filing with the IRP in connection with its claims. As of the date hereof, Go First has suspended all flights until May 30, 2023.

 

On May 24, 2023, Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granted a month’s time to cash-strapped Go First airline to submit its restructuring or revival plan for sustainable revival of operations.

 

Such disruptions to the commercial aviation landscape may result in a reduction in the supply of air tickets available on our platform, which could negatively impact our gross bookings, air ticketing revenue and results from operating activities. Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 20-F dated August 1, 2022, including, without limitation, the risks highlighting that (i) we are dependent on our airline ticketing business, which generates a significant percentage of our revenues and is derived from a small number of airline suppliers in India; (ii) we are exposed to risks associated with Indian businesses, particularly those in the Indian travel industry, including bankruptcies, restructurings, consolidations and alliances of its partners, the credit worthiness of these partners, and the possible obligation to make payments to our partners captured under the heading “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry”. The Company has also accounted for a reversal of the expected income accrual of INR 15.1 million (USD 0.2 million) for the year ended March 31, 2023 and an advance of INR 24.1 million (UDS 0.3 million) as on May 3, 2023.

 

 

 

Results of Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

 

Revenue. We generated Revenue of INR 1,194.3 million (USD 14.5 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 97.4% compared with INR 604.9 million (USD 7.4 million) in three months ended March 31, 2022. Increase in revenue was primarily contributed by recovery in both our consumer and corporate travel business due to diminishing impact of COVID-19 as compared to corresponding period of March 31, 2022 and an accrual of threshold bonus for Global Distribution System (“GDS”) contracts in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Service cost. Our Service cost increased to INR 228.2 million (USD 2.8 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to Service cost of INR 46.7 million (USD 0.6 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher package sales in the three months ended March 31, 2023 on account of recovery in consumer travel markets.

 

Adjusted Revenue.(1) Our Adjusted Revenue increased by 93.3% to INR 1,894.9 million (USD 23.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, from INR 980.0 million (USD 11.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted Revenue includes the add-back of INR 906.4 million (USD 11.0 million) compared to an add-back of INR 396.4 million (USD 4.8 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022 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 increase in Adjusted Revenue has been primarily contributed by 118.7% from Adjusted Revenue from Air Ticketing, 49.3% from Adjusted Revenue from Hotels and Packages, a decrease of 30.9% from Adjusted Revenue from Other Services and 65.8% from Others (Including Other Income).

 

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

Air Ticketing. Revenue from our Air Ticketing business was INR 625.6 million (USD 7.6 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to INR 321.6 million (USD 3.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting an increase of 94.5%.

 

Adjusted Revenue (1) from our Air Ticketing business increased to INR 1,459.6 million (USD 17.8 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to INR 667.5 million (USD 8.1 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the three months ended March 31, 2023 , Adjusted Revenue (1) for Air Ticketing includes the add-back of INR 834.0 million (USD 10.1 million) of consumer promotion and loyalty program costs, which reduced Revenue as per IFRS 15, against an add-back of INR 345.9 million (USD 4.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The recovery in revenue and adjusted revenue is on account of volume growth, an accrual of threshold bonus for GDS contracts and additional incentives from suppliers due to increase in travel demand.

 

Hotels and Packages. Revenue from our Hotels and Packages business was INR 429.5 million (USD 5.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to INR 180.5 million (USD 2.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022 , reflecting an increase of 137.9%.

 

Adjusted Revenue (1) for this segment increased by 49.3% to INR 268.4 million (USD 3.3 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from INR 179.8 million (USD 2.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, Adjusted Revenue (1) for Hotels and Packages includes the add-back of customer promotional expenses, which had been reduced from Revenue as per IFRS 15 of INR 67.1 million (USD 0.8 million) against an add-back of INR 45.9 million (USD 0.6 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in Revenue and Adjusted Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2023 is on account of recovery in domestic travel, along with addition of new distribution partners. The reduction in net margin is on account of change in mix in favor of packages.

Liquidity. As of March 31, 2023 , the balance of cash and cash equivalents and term deposits on our balance sheet was INR 1,091.0 million (USD 13.3 million).

 

Company’s subsidiaries’ factoring debt facility contains certain financial covenants relating to unencumbered cash and cash equivalents to be equal to 12 months trailing cash burn, positive net worth and total operating liabilities should not exceed twice tangible net worth. At March 31, 2023 there was a non compliance in relation to one of the debt covenants, i.e. “total operating liabilities should not exceed twice tangible net worth”. The Company’s subsidiaries secured a waiver from the lender in this respect subsequent to March 31, 2023 on May 17, 2023. By virtue of cross default provisions in other debt facilities availed by the Company and its subsidiaries, these debt facilities became payable on demand. These include debt facilities availed from Blacksoil Capital Private Limited, Black Soil India Credit Fund, Mak Capital Fund, LP, N+1 Capital, IDFC First bank and Federal Bank. The Company and its subsidiaries obtained waivers from all of these lenders subsequent to March 31, 2023 during May, 2023. Accordingly, such defaults did not have any impact on the Company’s liquidity position, future cash flows and its going concern assessment.

 

Since the waivers in relation to the non-compliance of the debt covenants were received subsequent to end of reporting period, the portions of the debt facilities amounting to INR 219.1 million (USD 2.7 million), which otherwise should have been classified as non-current have been classified as current at March 31, 2023.

 

Further, on May 9, 2023, the Company’s subsidiaries renegotiated the terms of its financial covenants with Axis Bank Limited and replaced the covenant pertaining to “total operating liabilities should not exceed twice of tangible net worth” with “ Debt to Equity ratio should be more than 2.0”. The Company’s subsidiaries, going forward would be required to comply with this requirement.

Increase in revenue was primarily contributed by recovery in both our consumer and corporate travel business due to diminishing impact of COVID-19 as compared to corresponding period of March 31, 2022 and an accrual of threshold bonus for GDS contracts in the year ended March 31, 2023.

 

Service Cost. Our service cost increased to INR 669.1 million (USD 8.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2023 from INR 159.3 million (USD 1.9 million) in the year ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to higher package sales in the year ended March 31, 2023 on account of recovery in consumer travel markets.

 

Adjusted Revenue(1) Our Adjusted Revenue increased by 86.3% to INR 6,153.1 million (USD 74.9 million) in the year ended March 31, 2023 from INR 3,302.4 million (USD 40.2 million) in the year ended March 31, 2022.

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 increase in Adjusted Revenue resulted mainly from an increase of 96.1% in our Adjusted Revenue from Air Ticketing along with an increase of 77.9% in our Adjusted Revenue from Hotels and Packages, an increase of 10.0% in Other Services and an increase of 73.7% Others (including Other Income) which primarily consists of advertisement income, facilitation fees and excess provision written back.

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.

 

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, 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, impairment of loan to joint venture, listing and related expenses 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.

 

 

  (1) See the section titled “Certain Non-IFRS Measures.”

 

 

 

 

  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 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. On December 16, 2021, at 5:00 p.m., New York time, outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 17,337,500 of our ordinary shares expired by their original terms.
     
  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 IPO process of Yatra India.

 

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, 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 Loss for the period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted 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, change in fair value of warrants 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 Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share.
