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 For personal use only 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 For personal use only 1H19 4 cents 1H19 $521m down 3.2% vs pcp 1.
