Exhibit 99.1

 

YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Gurugram, India and New York November 12, 2024— 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, 2024.

 

“For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported revenue of INR 2,363.3 million (USD 28.2 million), reflecting a substantial year-over-year increase of 149.4%. Adjusted Air Ticketing Margins saw a 13.0% decline, primarily attributable to reduced volumes in the B2C segment as we strategically adjusted discounts to address intensified price competition. In contrast, our Adjusted Hotels and Packages margins improved significantly by 43.8% year-over-year, driven by strong performance in our MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) business. Adjusted EBITDA came in at INR 66.7 million (USD 0.8 million), a 91.2% increase from the prior year.

 

Despite headwinds in the B2C air segment, we continue to drive strong growth in our Hotels and Packages and MICE lines of businesses, which helped us more than offset the negative impact of the B2C air business. In the second quarter of FY25, we successfully secured 29 new corporate clients, adding an annual billing potential of INR 1,213.0 million (USD 14.5 million).

 

On September 11 2024, we successfully completed the acquisition of Globe All India Services (Globe Travels) for INR 1,280.0 million (USD 15.3 million) in cash. The results for the quarter include contribution from Globe Travels for 20 days of the quarter from September 11, 2024 to September 30, 2024. This strategic acquisition brought approximately 360 new corporate clients, further strengthening our leadership in India’s corporate travel sector. Globe Travels’ expertise in MICE complements our recent organic expansion in this segment, positioning Yatra as one of India’s largest players in this segment. With minimal overlap in client portfolios, this acquisition diversifies our client base and enhances cross-selling opportunities for hotels and expense management services. Additionally, integrating our digital booking platform with Globe Travel’s largely offline business is expected to drive synergies, operational efficiencies, and cost savings for our corporate clients.

 

Progress on corporate restructuring is also advancing as the Company continues to engage with its counsels and other stakeholders including certain regulators towards the formulation of a comprehensive multi-jurisdictional corporate restructuring that can reduce administrative overhead, rationalize costs, and facilitate the growth for the Company. We are encouraged by the strong momentum in our Corporate Travel business, underscored by our growth in new accounts and MICE capabilities. As we continue to navigate a dynamic market, our focus remains on executing our strategic priorities to reinforce our market leadership and drive long-term value for stakeholders.” - Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.

Convenience Translation

 

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in INR. However, solely for the convenience of readers, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2024, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and discussion of the results of the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with three months ended September 30, 2023, were converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of 83.76 INR per USD, which is based on the noon buying rate as at September 30, 2024, in The City of New York for cable transfers of Indian rupees as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This arithmetic conversion should not be construed as representation that the amounts expressed in INR may be converted into USD at that or any other exchange rate as well as that such numbers are in compliance as per the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

 

Recent developments

 

The Company, through its subsidiary Yatra Online Limited (“Yatra India”), consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and paid-up equity share capital of Globe All India Services Limited (“GAISL”) on September 11, 2024, pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated September 2, 2024, with GAISL and Ramkrishna Forgings Limited (the “Acquisition”). The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was INR 1,280 million (USD 15.3 million), after net debt and working capital adjustments.

 

The Company’s financial and operating results for the three months and six month ended September 30, 2024, include the financial and operating results of GAISL from September 11, 2024, to September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the reported results for three months and six months ended September 30, 2024, which are inclusive of the impact of consolidation of GAISL may not be comparable with the reported results for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2023, which exclude the impact of consolidation of GAISL.

 

Results of Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

 

Revenue. We generated Revenue of INR 2,363.3 million (USD 28.2 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 149.4% compared with INR 947.6 million (USD 11.3 million) in three months ended September 30, 2023. Increase in revenue is mainly driven by increase in our Hotels and Packages business on account of our Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (“MICE”) business.

 

Service cost. Our Service cost increased to INR 1,427.7 million (USD 17.0 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to Service cost of INR 166.1 million (USD 2.0 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in Service cost is driven by an increase in Hotels and Packages gross bookings on account of our MICE business.

In the three months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted Margin (1) for Air Ticketing includes the add-back of INR 456.2 million (USD 5.4 million) of consumer promotion and loyalty program costs, which had been reduced from Revenue as per IFRS 15, against an add-back of INR 626.3 million (USD 7.5 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in Adjusted Margin – Air Ticketing was largely due to lower gross booking on account of optimization of discount amid intensifying price competition in the market.

The increase in adjusted margin is driven by increase in gross bookings of our Hotels and Packages business on account of MICE business and decrease in adjusted margin % is on account of mix change impact.

 

Other Services. Our Revenue from Other Services was INR 93.9 million (USD 1.1 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from INR 45.5 million (USD 0.5 million) in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

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, 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 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.
     
 

Listing and related expenses - These primarily reflect the non-recurring expenses incurred on the Indian IPO process.

     
 

Finance income - These primarily reflect income on the bank deposit.

     
 

Finance cost - These primarily reflect income on the borrowings and interest in lease liability.

     
 

Depreciation and amortisation - These primarily reflect depreciation and amortisation on tangible and intangible assets.

     
 

Tax expense - These primarily reflect income tax and deferred tax.

 

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 Earnings/(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, 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, depreciation and amortization, finance income, finance costs, listing and related expenses, and tax expenses in case of Adjusted EBITDA. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the IFRS amounts excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, 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 Profits/(Losses) for the periods (an IFRS measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) for the periods indicated:
