Management Commentary

Hari V. Krishnan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, PropertyGuru said, "Second quarter results built on the strong start to the year. The strategy of increasing our customer value proposition is proving effective, as we see the return on investments made over the past few years. The second quarter saw us deliver more tools and features that further enhance the customer experience as the pace of our internal innovation accelerates. Going forward, we expect to capitalize on both organic and inorganic opportunities to further expand our world-class solutions to customers. Even with our growing business strength, we remain vigilant around potential market challenges from rising inflation and interest rates and other global macro headwinds."

Joe Dische, Chief Financial Officer, PropertyGuru, added, "Second quarter revenues were up 44% year over year, building on the first quarter's solid performance and setting us up for a strong back half of 2022. Growth was balanced across all business segments and the further leveraging of our cost structure helped drive positive Adjusted EBITDA."

Financial Highlights – Second Quarter 2022

Total revenue of S$33.0 million increased 44% year over year and was balanced with growth across all markets and business segments.
Marketplaces revenues increased by 43% year over year to S$32.0 million. Investments made over the last two years are gaining traction now as real estate markets emerge from the pandemic-induced slowdown.
- Singapore Marketplaces revenue increased 31% to S$17.3 million. Quarterly Average Revenue Per Agent ("ARPA") of S$1,008 rose 29% year over year through improved yield derived from previous price rises and increased activity on our platform. We had a total of 15,023 agents with a renewal rate of 82%, reflecting a strong local property market.
- Malaysia Marketplaces revenue increased 170% to S$5.9 million from S$2.2 million in the prior year period as a result of the acquisition of the iProperty business in August 2021.
- Vietnam Marketplaces revenue increased by 19% to S$6.9 million from S$5.8 million in the prior year period. This was driven by both a 17% increase in the number of listings to 2.38 million and a 7% increase in average revenue per listing ("ARPL") to S$2.83.
At quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents was $368.8 million.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Our priority markets comprise Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. Our core markets comprise Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

Engagement Market Share is the average monthly engagement for websites owned by PropertyGuru as compared to average monthly engagement for a basket of peers calculated over the relevant period. Engagement is calculated as the number of visits to a website during a period multiplied by the total amount of time spent on that website for the same period, in each case based on data from SimilarWeb. Engagement Market Share is based on the prevailing SimilarWeb algorithm on the date the Company first filed or furnished such information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Number of agents in all core markets except Vietnam is calculated for a period as the sum of the number of agents with a valid 12-month subscription package at the end of each month in a period divided by the number of months in such period. In Vietnam, number of agents is calculated as the number of agents who credit money into their account within the relevant period. When counting in aggregate across the PropertyGuru group, in markets where PropertyGuru operates more than one property portal, an agent with subscriptions to more than one portal is only counted once.

Number of real estate listings is calculated as the number of listings created during the month for Vietnam and the average number of monthly listings available in the period for other markets.

Average revenue per agent ("ARPA") is calculated as agent revenue for a period divided by the average number of agents in that period, which is calculated as the sum of the number of total agents at the end of each month in a period divided by the number of months in such period.

Average revenue per listing ("ARPL") is calculated as revenue for a period divided by the number of listings in such period.

Renewal rate is calculated as the number of agents that successfully renew their annual package during a period divided by the number of agents whose packages are up for renewal (at the end of their twelve-month subscription) during that period.

This press release also includes references to non-IFRS financial measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. PropertyGuru uses these measures, collectively, to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. PropertyGuru believes that non-IFRS information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies to the extent that such other companies use similar non-IFRS measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results. These non-IFRS measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of other IFRS financial measures, such as net loss and loss before income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net loss for year/period plus changes in fair value of preferred shares and embedded derivatives, finance costs, depreciation and amortization, income tax expenses, impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring events, share grant and option expenses, loss on disposal of plant and equipment and intangible assets, currency translation loss, business acquisition transaction and integration costs, legal and professional expenses incurred for IPO, share listing expenses and on-going costs of a listed entity. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
