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 June 30,
2024.
“For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reported revenue
of INR 1,050.7 million (USD 12.6 million), representing a decline
of 5.0% year-over-year. Adjusted Air Ticketing Margins were
impacted by a 20.7% decrease driven by lower volumes. The decline
was primarily driven by reduced volumes in the B2C segment, as we
optimized discounts amid intensifying price competition in the
market. Adjusted EBITDA came in at INR 65.6 million (USD 0.8
million), a decrease from INR 115.4 million in the same period last
year, reflecting the impact of lower volumes.
Despite challenges in the B2C segment during the June quarter,
the Corporate Travel segment showed robust growth across all key
metrics. We successfully secured 34 new corporate customer
accounts, representing an annual billing potential of INR 2,028
million, with average billing potential up 77% sequentially. As the
leader in Corporate Travel services in India, our customer
acquisition rates remain strong, consistently outperforming
industry benchmarks. We are currently exploring strategic M&A
opportunities to further bolster our Corporate Travel segment, with
a promising pipeline of prospects under evaluation.
In addition, we made significant strides in our Meetings,
Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) business. During
the quarter, a newly onboarded team began ramping up operations.
While MICE contributions were muted for the June quarter, early
indicators for the current quarter are positive, with meaningful
business already secured. We anticipate this business will become a
significant growth driver in the near future.
Progress continues toward simplifying our corporate structure,
with the Board-appointed restructuring committee actively engaging
with all relevant stakeholders. The committee is diligently working
on developing a comprehensive proposal to streamline our operations
and enhance shareholder value.
The June quarter posed challenges for our B2C segment; however,
we are encouraged by the strong momentum we are witnessing in our
Corporate Travel business. The growth in new corporate accounts and
the exciting developments in our MICE business underscore our
commitment to driving long-term value for our stakeholders. As we
navigate the evolving landscape, we remain focused on our strategic
priorities to further strengthen our market leadership.” - Dhruv
Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.
