Commenting on the performance, Dhruv Shringi, Yatra’s CEO and Co-Founder mentioned: “I am delighted to share that we closed out fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 on a positive note with the fourth quarter, which was our first full quarter as a public company, witnessing a significant ramp up in growth rate. We also exceeded the high end of our Revenue Less Service Cost guidance range by posting over INR5.2 billion for fiscal 2017.

 

The travel industry in India is witnessing a period of sustained growth, and we are very excited to be a leading player in the sector.  The domestic air travel industry in India actually grew 19% in passenger volumes in the fourth quarter, making India one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world.  Our growth continued to outpace industry growth. Mobile traffic also scaled up rapidly with 72% of our traffic coming from mobile devices in the fourth quarter up from 67% in third quarter.

 

We are excited to share that we have signed up one of India’s biggest youth icon, Ranbir Kapoor, as our brand ambassador. His vibrant persona and pan-India appeal makes him an ideal fit for our brand. We are confident that with Ranbir as our endorser, we will strengthen our brand appeal across the length and breadth of the country and take Yatra to even greater heights.

 

On the back of the strong performance in the fourth quarter, we are also initiating Revenue Less Service Cost guidance of 30% to 35% growth for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

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 Revenue Less Service Cost, which is a non-IFRS measure. We believe that Revenue Less Service Cost 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 Revenue Less Service Cost 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 Revenue Less Service Cost, we also refer to Adjusted EBITDA (Loss), Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share, which are also non-IFRS measures. We use financial statements that exclude employee share-based compensation cost, depreciation and amortization, exceptional items and change in fair value of warrants for our internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing our operating results to that of our competitors.

 

Our non-GAAP 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.

 

·Exceptional items: Exceptional items reflect the listing expenses incurred, are non-recurring expenses incurred on consummation of business combination agreement.

 

·Change in fair value of warrants: Consequent to consummation of the Business Combination, the Company issued 34.67 million warrants having right to subscribe to 17.33 million ordinary shares of Yatra Online, Inc. The accounting guidance requires that we record any change in the fair value of warrants in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss. We have excluded the effect of the implied fair value changes in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures.

 

We evaluate the performance of our business after excluding the impact of above measures and thus believe it is useful to understand the effects of these items on our results from operations, loss for the period and basic and diluted 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 (Loss), Adjusted Results from Operations, Adjusted Loss for the Period and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share as against using the measures in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB are that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation cost, non-recurring exceptional items and change in fair value of warrants. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the IFRS amounts excluded from Adjusted Results from Operations and Adjusted Loss for the Period.

Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding was used in computing basic/diluted earnings per share (EPS).

*On December 16, 2016, preference shares issued by Yatra Online, Inc. were converted into ordinary shares of Yatra Online, Inc. We, thereafter, effectuated a reverse 5.4242194-for-one share split of our ordinary shares as well as a 5.4242194-for-one adjustment with respect to the number of ordinary shares underlying our share options. Consequently, the basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented is adjusted retrospectively to reflect the share split.

** The exceptional items relate to NASDAQ listing related expenses, transaction costs and contingent dividend expense.
