Management Commentary

Hari V. Krishnan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, said “Across Southeast Asia, we have seen governments introduce robust policies and budgets to accelerate growth, resulting in uplifted property sentiment. In the first quarter of 2024, we delivered double-digit revenue growth, with the Singapore business showing particular strength.

In Vietnam, we are seeing a gradual improvement in the property market towards the end of the quarter, with listings on our platform hitting a 12-month high in March. Despite near-term challenges, we see a positive outlook for the Malaysian market, with our latest consumer sentiment survey indicating that 1 in 3 Malaysians intend to buy a property in the next two years.

We are encouraged to see agents in Singapore continue to adopt our AI supported product features to enhance the quality of their listings and engagements. Our new AI video feature, introduced in January, has close to 60% of agents using it after their first trial. As part of our efforts to assist an industry adopting increased professionalism, we rolled out our Professional Agent Verification process in Vietnam, which saw more than 500 agents verified in the first week.

I am also proud to share that we have released our first sustainability report. This is supported by the recently launched ‘Gurus For Good’ program, our sustainability mandate.

This year our solutions will play a bigger role in empowering our customers as we power communities to live, work, and thrive in tomorrow’s cities.”

Joe Dische, Chief Financial Officer, added “PropertyGuru delivered a solid start to 2024 with double-digit revenue growth and flat costs year over year leading to double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margin, while navigating a phased recovery in Vietnam and Malaysia as well as typical seasonality in Southeast Asia during the first quarter, which includes the Lunar New Year holiday.

We remain cautiously optimistic for the year ahead. The Singapore business continues to perform, and we are seeing positive signals coming from Vietnam and Malaysia. While awaiting further improvement in secular trends, we are laser-focused on managing costs and improving profitability.

2 Please refer to non-GAAP reconciliation of net income/(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA section for more details.

Illustrating this commitment, our Adjusted EBITDA margin grew from 0.7% in the first quarter of 2023 to 12.2% this quarter. All of our Marketplaces businesses showed margin improvement year over year. Corporate expenses as a percentage of overall revenue decreased from 43% in first quarter 2023 to 40% this quarter, as we continue to show improved operating leverage.

For the remainder of 2024, selective hiring and focused investment remain our mantra. We plan to continue to invest in automation, leverage our existing technologies and generative AI to both provide superior customer experiences and manage our cost base as we drive continued revenue growth. Our full year revenue outlook of S$165 million to S$180 million and full year Adjusted EBITDA outlook of S$22 million to S$26 million are unchanged.”

Financial Highlights – First Quarter 2024

•

Total revenue increased 12% year over year to S$37 million in the first quarter.

•

Marketplaces revenue increased 13% year over year to S$35 million in the first quarter as strong results in Singapore helped to offset a slower recovery in Vietnam and Malaysia.

•

Revenue by segment:

Singapore Marketplaces revenue increased to 25% year over year to S$24 million in the first quarter, as both the number of agents and the Average Revenue Per Agent (“ARPA”) grew in the quarter. Quarterly ARPA was up 22% to S$1,368 as compared to the prior year quarter, and the number of agents in Singapore grew marginally to finish the first quarter 2024 at 16,487. The renewal rate was 77% in the first quarter 2024.

Malaysia Marketplaces revenue was flat year over year at S$7 million in the first quarter as property pricing remains elevated relative to consumer expectations, shifting the focus to rental listings in the near term.

Vietnam Marketplaces revenue was flat year over year at S$3 million in the first quarter as a 13% increase in the Average Revenue Per Listing (“ARPL”) was offset by a 13% decrease in listings with continuing market weakness. ARPL in the first quarter was S$3.32 and the number of listings in the quarter was 1.0 million.

Fintech & Data services revenue was marginally down 3% year over year to S$1.0 million in the first quarter.

•

At quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents were S$300 million.

Full Year 2024 Outlook

The following near-term factors may impact the Company’s operations in 2024: further delays in the recovery of Vietnam’s property market due to consumer sentiment and access to credit; weaker than expected economic conditions in Malaysia; and additional fiscal policy measures that the Singapore government may implement.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

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

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 average monthly 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 average number of listings created monthly during the period 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.

Number of listings in Vietnam is calculated as the sum of all listings created in each month over the relevant period (other than listings from promotional accounts). Number of listings is used to calculate average revenue per listing, which is described below.

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and incremental Adjusted EBITDA over incremental revenue. 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 profit/loss for year/period adjusted for changes in fair value of preferred shares, warrant liability and embedded derivatives, finance costs, depreciation and amortization, tax expenses or credits, impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event, share grant

and option expenses, loss on disposal of plant and equipment and intangible assets, currency translation profit or loss, fair value profit or loss on lease modifications and contingent consideration, business acquisition transaction and integration cost (including contingent consideration), and the cost of listing or IPO activities.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Incremental Adjusted EBITDA over incremental revenue is calculated as the increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the period divided by the increase in revenue over the same period.

A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided as follows.
