Passenger trips growth accelerates as Jayride wins share

Passenger trips booked grew to 136K in Q4 FY22, up 81% vs prior quarter Q3 FY22, and 190% vs Q4 FY21.

In Q4 FY22 Jayride continued to win market share, and has booked more trips in Europe and in the US than in any prior Q4. In particular in Europe, Jayride trips booked were 112% larger than any prior quarter.

Net revenue per trip increases to $8.02

Net revenue per trip increased to $8.02 in Q4 FY22, after refunds of 25%.

  • New vehicles and service classes launched in December continued to grow revenue per trip, as the rollout continued into new partner channels, and to new destinations,
  • Refunds remain stubbornly elevated at 25%, compared to pre-pandemic baseline of 17%, due in large part to fight cancellations and other disruptions, often resulting in travellers changing plans,
  • Net revenues per trip are positioned to grow again as Jayride continues to roll-out premium service classes and vehicle types to more destinations and through more channels, and as refund rates continue trend to historical norms at 17% of revenues.

Contribution proft margin maintained at 52%

Jayride's contribution proft margin was maintained at 52% in Q4. The contribution proft margin benefted from improvements in net revenue per trip to $8.02 in Q4, up from $7.81 in Q3, and in line with strategy disclosed last quarter, Jayride deployed these additional margins into customer acquisition. This increase in customer acquisition increased variable cost per trip slightly to $3.86 in Q4 FY22, up from $3.76 during Q3.

As net revenue per trip continues to grow, Jayride will continue to selectively invest in customer acquisition, to further accelerate growth and scale, while retaining contribution proft margins at or above 50%.

Positive outlook for Q1 and beyond

  • The US and Europe summer peak travel season, and further reopenings in Oceania and Asia,
  • Ability to continue to grow margins above 50% and deploy surplus margins into additional customer acquisition that accelerates growth,
  • Preliminary returns from Jayride's latest growth investments in sales, marketing, and technology.

The Company has achieved major milestones of 50% contribution margin and cash fow positive after stand-still operating costs, and is positioned to continue to achieve these in future quarters.
