Revenue Result Following 5 Year Commitment to Strengthening Revenue Mix 1H20 highlights ▪ Record 1H revenue result following 5 year commitment to strengthening revenue mix ▪ Mobile Technologies International and Gold Coast Cabs performing above post acquisition expectations ▪ Fully digitised Cabcharge Payment offering gaining traction ▪ Launch of new Network/Bureau services in Mackay, Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Perth and Albury Wodonga extending national footprint ▪ Strong organic growth in new Champ Network established in Perth during 1H20 from 0 to 223 cars ▪ Accelerating growth in handheld payments with Spotto growth up 22% ▪ Preferred Driver program launched giving Passengers more choice and control ▪ Installation of next generation in-car equipment ▪ App bookings up 19% 2 1H20 Overview A2B grew revenue, improved its services and enhanced the value propositions of its core products. 13cabs expanded its national personal transport footprint and MTI extended its global technology reach with new clients. Additional investment in marketing came at a short term cost but contributed to a strengthened 13cabs brand and growing use of digital booking channels (13cabs app up 19% and 13cabs mobile web up 66%). Competition with rideshare continued in 1H20 although there are now signs that Taxi patronage has stabilised. Our determination to raise the bar with higher qualifying standards for Driver professionalism and for 13cabs and Silver Service vehicles coincided with a temporary impact of short term tactics amongst smaller Taxi network and payment providers who are less invested in market changes. Meanwhile A2B was impacted by an aggregate $1.1m from adverse changes in Taxi licence markets, particularly in NSW. Government policy changes in NSW have deferred the full benefits of our investment in Safety cameras for up to 12 months while 88 Wheelchair Accessible Taxis were excluded from the fleet in Sydney. Having committed to a national model for Network Services, A2B made a determination to introduce pricing alignment for its affiliated fleets in Queensland with an impact on Network Subscriptions that has now cycled through. The quality of A2B’s offerings sets the stage for a strengthening second half noting accelerating uptake of A2B’s offerings during 1H20 and recently implemented efficiency measures beginning to deliver benefits to the group. 3 Financial summary Record revenue result tempered by one off impacts and investments in service quality, safety and brand 1 Revenue Underlying EBITDA ▪ Record revenue of $105m up $4m or 4% on pcp ▪ Revenue growth supported by strategic acquisitions $ m $105m 16.3 ▪ 1H20 underlying EBITDA reduction of $2.1m 1H19 $101m 1H19 $18.4m ▪ 1H20 includes adoption of AASB 16 up 4% vs pcp down 11.2% vs pcp – Impact on EBITDA +$1.6m Underlying NPAT1 Net Cash – Impact on NPAT -$0.3m ▪ Statutory NPAT of $3.6m including adverse AASB 16 impact of $0.3m $4.6m $5.9m ▪ Continued strength in operations supporting interim dividend of 4 cents As at 31 December 2019 fully franked 1H19 $7.4m ▪ Total fares processed $505m down 3.2% on pcp down 37% vs pcp – Improvement in total turnover visible in 2Q20 and leading into Interim Dividend Taxi Fares Processed January – Handheld growth continued up 22% on pcp $ m 4 cents 505 ▪ Net cash position of $5.9m and access to $50m finance facility 1H19 4 cents 1H19 $521m down 3.2% vs pcp 1.

Our figures have shown the same trend: bookings have increased over the last three months and Technical Services P .5 our hope is that the trend continues. Our Contact Centre Staff have Human Resources / Dreamworld Rank P.6 been under pressure as the calls have increased faster than antici- pated, thus, we have hired additional staff to assist with the Christmas Customer Feedback P.7 period. I would like to congratulate all of the Customer Service Reps Customer Feedback P.8 and Radio Operators for their efforts. Following on from a disappointing SuperGP we are heading into our traditionally busy period. Everyone within the Gold Coast Cabs group needs to ensure that we continue to provide exceptional customer service even when it is busy: • Smile • Be courteous • Be helpful (put the luggage / shopping into the car, open the door for the passenger etc) • Take pride in your work, car and appearance • Drive safely • Offer to change the radio station or to turn it off • Ask if they are comfortable, adjust / turn on the air-conditioning • Don’t speak on your mobile phone (even hands free) with passengers in the car • Be positive Do every job: every customer is to be treated equally, regardless of whether they are travelling around the cor- ner or going further.

    ASX RELEASE Annual General Meeting – 22 November 2018 Attached is a copy of the CEO and Managing Director’s Address which will be delivered today at the Annual General Meeting of Cabcharge Australia Limited held at The Westin Sydney. Adrian Lucchese Company Secretary Cabcharge Australia Limited ABN 99 001 958 390 152-162 Riley Street, East Sydney NSW 2010 CEO and Managing Director’s Address Annual General Meeting Thursday 22 November 2018 The Westin Sydney One year ago we declared that our Company was positioned for growth with a focused business and a strong and flexible balance sheet. We announced that service excellence was at the heart of our strategy. We were determined to strengthen our engagement with Passengers and Drivers and honour our mission of supporting Taxi Networks throughout Australia. True to those statements we have gone on to deliver growth. During FY18, Payment turnover grew by 4.5%, revenue grew by 22%, affiliated fleet grew by 28%, and downloads of the 13cabs app grew by 74%. Investments in technology and marketing are powering our growth. Our Company is now strengthened by the additions of Yellow Cabs Queensland and Mobile Technologies International (MTI). Our strategies and acquisitions are being executed in a manner that preserves a strong and flexible balance sheet, and our Company is once again in a net cash position as we stand here today. Fleet growth has continued in Victoria and we have recently expanded our Bureau Services to Taxi Networks in the Blue Mountains, Tamworth and Coffs Harbour. Growth in Victoria and Bureau Services is more than offsetting the impact of the regulations suppressing industry expansion in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

  • Perspectives on Payments Regulation – It Depends Which Way You Look At
    Perspectives on Payments Regulation – It depends which way you look at it… March 2020 Lance Blockley David Ojerholm Mitchell Hu The Japanese remain welded to the use of cash, whilst Australians are heavy users of payment cards - there are clearly lots of differences between the two countries, but one is certainly the cost for merchants to accept a card payment, which has been regulated down to a low level in Australia. Whether or not regulation is good or bad often depends which side of the fence you sit. Sometimes society demands it to solve a problem. Sometimes legislators impose it to solve a problem that is over the horizon or we don’t yet know we have. But with regulation, there are almost always unintended consequences, winners and losers, storm clouds and silver linings. The RBA introduces payments regulation to Australia With respect to credit cards, the RBA first introduced interchange regulation in January 2003 that allowed merchants to recover the costs of accepting card payments – the right to surcharge. The second part of the reform was introduced in October 2003 to limit the level of interchange being paid by acquirers to issuers on credit cards to a weighted average of 0.55%. Data supporting the achievement of the average was to be reviewed every 3 years, with a re-set of Scheme interchange rates if necessary. Debit cards and 3-party Scheme cards, such as American Express and Diners Club, were not regulated. The 0.55% rate1 was determined following separate credit card cost studies undertaken by Visa and Mastercard, as mandated by the RBA, which also defined what the Schemes and their credit card issuing banks were permitted to include in their cost calculations.
