Exhibit 99.1

YATRA ONLINE, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Gurugram, India and New York November 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 September 30, 2024.

“For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported revenue of INR 2,363.3 million (USD 28.2 million), reflecting a substantial year-over-year increase of 149.4%. Adjusted Air Ticketing Margins saw a 13.0% decline, primarily attributable to reduced volumes in the B2C segment as we strategically adjusted discounts to address intensified price competition. In contrast, our Adjusted Hotels and Packages margins improved significantly by 43.8% year-over-year, driven by strong performance in our MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) business. Adjusted EBITDA came in at INR 66.7 million (USD 0.8 million), a 91.2% increase from the prior year.

Despite headwinds in the B2C air segment, we continue to drive strong growth in our Hotels and Packages and MICE lines of businesses, which helped us more than offset the negative impact of the B2C air business. In the second quarter of FY25, we successfully secured 29 new corporate clients, adding an annual billing potential of INR 1,213.0 million (USD 14.5 million).

On September 11 2024, we successfully completed the acquisition of Globe All India Services (Globe Travels) for INR 1,280.0 million (USD 15.3 million) in cash. The results for the quarter include contribution from Globe Travels for 20 days of the quarter from September 11, 2024 to September 30, 2024. This strategic acquisition brought approximately 360 new corporate clients, further strengthening our leadership in India’s corporate travel sector. Globe Travels’ expertise in MICE complements our recent organic expansion in this segment, positioning Yatra as one of India’s largest players in this segment. With minimal overlap in client portfolios, this acquisition diversifies our client base and enhances cross-selling opportunities for hotels and expense management services. Additionally, integrating our digital booking platform with Globe Travel’s largely offline business is expected to drive synergies, operational efficiencies, and cost savings for our corporate clients.

Progress on corporate restructuring is also advancing as the Company continues to engage with its counsels and other stakeholders including certain regulators towards the formulation of a comprehensive multi-jurisdictional corporate restructuring that can reduce administrative overhead, rationalize costs, and facilitate the growth for the Company. We are encouraged by the strong momentum in our Corporate Travel business, underscored by our growth in new accounts and MICE capabilities. As we continue to navigate a dynamic market, our focus remains on executing our strategic priorities to reinforce our market leadership and drive long-term value for stakeholders.” - Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder and CEO.

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:

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.

The following table reconciles our Profits/(Losses) for the periods (an IFRS measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) for the periods indicated:
