YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

 

Gurugram, India and New York February 11, 2025— 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 December 31, 2024.

 

“We are pleased to report a strong quarter, delivering revenue growth and continued momentum across key segments. Our revenue for the quarter reached INR 2,350.7 million (USD 27.5 million), marking year-over-year increase of 111.4%.

 

Adjusted Air Ticketing Margins saw a 23.0% decline, primarily attributable to reduced volumes in the B2C segment as we strategically adjusted discounts to address supplier-induced intensified price competition. Our corporate travel business continued to be a key growth driver. Notably, Adjusted Hotels & Packages margin saw a strong 65.8% year-over-year increase, primarily fueled by the expansion of our MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) business. Our profit was INR 39.8 million (USD 0.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 versus a loss of INR 39.5 million (USD 0.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA surged 173.0% year-over-year to INR 121.5 million (USD 1.4 million), reflecting our disciplined focus on profitable growth and cost optimization.

 

Our ongoing emphasis on operational efficiency has yielded tangible results, including improved cost rationalization, supply-side synergies, and enhanced margin sustainability. The strategic pivot toward higher-margin segments like Hotels & Packages and MICE has effectively mitigated the impact of B2C air margin pressures, reinforcing our balanced revenue mix. Furthermore, our success in onboarding 50 new corporate clients—a quarterly record—has added an annual billing potential of INR 2,804 million (USD 32.2 million), strengthening our leadership in the corporate travel domain.

 

Following our successful acquisition of Globe All India Services Limited (GAISL) on September 11, 2024, for INR 1,280.0 million (USD 15.3 million) in cash, integration efforts are progressing ahead of schedule. We are already seeing early synergies, particularly in supplier consolidation, operational streamlining, and technology adoption. By leveraging Yatra’s tech platform within GAISL’s customer base, we expect to unlock further efficiencies, drive incremental revenue, and enhance our long-term competitive positioning.

 

The Company continues to work with its counsels in the relevant jurisdictions to simplify its legal and corporate structure which is expected to streamline administrative overheads and facilitate growth for the Company. These initiatives, combined with disciplined execution and a scalable cost structure, are expected to support sustained margin expansion and operational excellence.

 

Looking ahead, we remain excited about the opportunities before us. With record corporate client acquisitions, continued expansion in MICE, and disciplined execution of our strategic priorities, we are confident in our ability to reinforce our market leadership and drive sustainable value for all 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 nine months ended December 31, 2024, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and discussion of the results of the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with three months ended December 31, 2023, were converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of 85.55 INR per USD, which is based on the noon buying rate as at December 31, 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

 

As previously disclosed in the Form 6K dated August 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of Yatra Online Limited, the Company’s Indian subsidiary (“Yatra India”), approved a Composite Scheme of Amalgamation (“Scheme”) involving Yatra India (the “Amalgamated Company”) and its six wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Amalgamating Companies”). The Amalgamating Companies and Amalgamated Company previously filed the Scheme with the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai ("NCLT"), for the requisite approvals. The NCLT delivered an order dated February 07, 2025 allowing the first motion application. The Scheme is subject to additional requisite approvals/consents, as may be required in this regard.  

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, and subsequently, we received three anonymous whistleblower complaints alleging certain unsubstantiated allegations of irregularities. The Board of Directors of Yatra India has appointed a committee comprising of independent directors to oversee this matter. The independent committee has engaged an external firm to undertake a preliminary investigation to ascertain the veracity of these allegations. Based on our evaluation to date, we do not expect the complaints to have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

 

The Company’s financial and operating results for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024, include the financial and operating results of Globe All India Services Limited (GAISL) from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the reported results for three months and nine months ended December 31, 2024, which are inclusive of the impact of consolidation of GAISL may not be comparable with the reported results for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which exclude the impact of consolidation of GAISL.

 

Results of Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

 

Revenue. We generated Revenue of INR 2,350.7 million (USD 27.5 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 111.4% compared with INR 1,112.0 million (USD 13.0 million) in three months ended December 31, 2023. Increase in revenue is mainly a combination of increase in our Hotels and Packages business on account of our Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (“MICE”) business and full quarter impact of our recent acquisition of GAISL.

 

Service cost. Our Service cost increased to INR 1,311.3 million (USD 15.3 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to Service cost of INR 273.6 million (USD 3.2 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in Service cost is driven by an increase in Hotels and Packages gross bookings on account of our MICE business and full quarter impact of our recent acquisition of GAISL.

 

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.”

Excluding employee share-based compensation costs of INR 32.9 million (USD 0.4 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to INR 55.8 million (USD 0.7 million) in the three months ended December 31, 2023, personnel expenses increased by 33.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2024 on account of full quarter impact of recently acquired  GAISL and an impact of our annual appraisal cycle.

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 amortization - These primarily reflect depreciation and amortization 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.
