Exhibit 99.1
YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Gurugram, India and New York August 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 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.

The conference call will also be available via webcast at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/252250535.
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.
