Letter from
the Chair
Dear Shareholders
That is a lot of incremental work and pay. And we still
have so much further to grow.
Welcome to Airtasker’s 2023 Annual Report.
Having joined the Company in July 2023, I am
presenting this Report having had nil influence over
the operations or performance of the Company
during the FY23 year. Tim, his team and my fellow
Directors must take credit for Airtasker’s almost
34% increase in Gross Market Value (“GMV”) of
tasks, to over a quarter of a billion Australian
dollars. From this, they extracted over 40% growth
in revenue, to $44.2 million.
This was against a backdrop of significant
macroeconomic headwinds. The post pandemic
supply chain issues, broad inflationary pressures
and seemingly relentless interest rate increases
put pressure on customer demand for Airtasker’s
services, as it did for other consumer-oriented
businesses.
Unlike many of those other businesses, however,
the same factors strengthened the flip side of our
marketplace: tasker supply. We saw a record
number of taskers keen to complement their main
income sources by using their skills and time.
Across Australia, people were truly out and about
once more. Our taskers fetched ~1,000 wayward
drones for outdoorsy types in FY23 and we saw
increases across child minding (+27%) and
housesitting (+44%) for partying parents and
travellers, respectively. The national obsession?
Property inspections on behalf of potential renters
and buyers were up 15%. We had 140 requests for
taskers to stand in lines for Taylor Swift tickets. I
bet some of you wish you had thought of that.
One of the many things I love about Airtasker is its
ability to create jobs which have never before
existed. This was Tim’s vision from the outset, and
from then to now we have paid out over half a billion
Australian dollars to taskers.

2023 Annual Report
The Australian total addressable market for local
services is estimated at $5 billion, with our current
gross marketplace volume representing
approximately 4%. We continue to invest in
this market, while producing strong margins
and positive cashflows.
Our newer marketplaces internationally, in the UK and
US, represent $70 billion and $500 billion Australian
dollars, respectively. The international opportunity
for Airtasker is significant and is part of our focus for
FY24. In the UK, where we are at the “one to 100”
stage of growth, we saw an almost 35% increase in
GMV in FY23 compared to the prior year while revenue
grew over 90% for the same period. We expect the
investment by Channel 4 in the UK to assist in
accelerating UK marketplace growth by building
brand awareness, users and network effects.
In the US, where we are at the “zero to one” stage of
growth, we saw consistent growth trends during FY23
with posted tasks up 158% and tasker offers up 300%.
While from a low base, it is pleasing to see the
business maintaining its growth trajectory, especially
given the limited marketing investment.
FY23’s tightening of equity capital markets
necessitated the business placing increased focus on
the management of its cash. While we see vast
opportunities in each market we operate in, we know
that growth can no longer simply be bought and be
rewarded by capital markets. During the year the team
made the difficult decision to restructure the
operating cost base of the business, reducing
headcount by 20% and divesting non-core assets.
The business is now more operationally streamlined,
in a strong financial position and is targeting being
free cash flow positive over the full FY24 year.
Airtasker is supportive of regulatory measures which
improve the lives of workers and create a clear
operating environment for businesses. In line with
Airtasker’s mission - to empower people to realise
the full value of their skills - we will continue to lean
in to support regulation that ultimately enables the
creation of quality local jobs.
We are very fortunate
and privileged to have
a team of dedicated
and committed staff
that believe in the
mission and vision
of Airtasker...
Many of you may be aware that governments are
considering increasing regulation that may impact
platform operators and workers. New and emerging
rules and regulations are intended to protect workers
and enable governments to better regulate digital
labour platforms.
In Australia, these changes are captured in proposed
regulations addressing “employee-like” workers, the
sharing economy reporting regime and payroll tax
legislation. Europe has seen the adoption of the
OECD Model Rules in relation to digital platform
operators across the European Union and the UK.
In the coming year, management are focusing on the
core Airtasker and Oneflare platform revenues,
improving marketplace relatability and scaling new
marketplaces through media partnerships. Behind
the scenes, FY23 saw continued investment in
platform and data protection initiatives. Combined
with a focus on cost management and cash flows,
the opportunities and prospects for Airtasker in
FY24 are very positive.
I thank previous Chair James Spenceley for handing
over this team of dedicated and committed staff
and Directors who believe in the mission and vision
of Airtasker, and in delivering the best possible
experience for our customers and taskers.
The Directors are appreciative of the combined
efforts of the leadership team and all Airtasker
staff to deliver the FY23 result.
On behalf of the Board, I also extend thanks to our
shareholders and the broader investment
community who have supported Airtasker this year.
Finally, to our customers and taskers: without each
of you, and your continued support of the Airtasker
business model, none of this would be possible.
Thank you.

Letter from the
Founder & CEO
Dear Shareholders,
Thank you once again for being part of the
Airtasker journey in FY23 as we together made
strong progress towards our vision: to build the
world’s most trusted marketplace to buy and sell
local services.
At Airtasker, creating jobs isn’t a by-product of the
work that we do, it’s our core purpose. Our mission
- to empower people to realise the full value of their
skills - remains at the core of everything that we
do, and I am incredibly proud to share that this year
Airtasker achieved a new milestone: with earnings
for Taskers in our community (after all fees)
reaching $500m.
FY23 was certainly a challenging year which saw,
despite tough macroeconomic conditions, our
marketplaces demonstrate incredible resilience.
While lower consumer confidence resulted in
softer consumer demand in some marketplaces,
Tasker engagement (supply) surged to all-time
record levels across the board, resulting in a
significant improvement across all measures of
customer experience quality and ultimately greater
conversion to revenue.
The strength and resilience of our marketplace
delivered record financial performance with
revenue of $44.2 million, up 40.4% on the prior
year. This performance reflected solid organic
growth in the Airtasker marketplaces and the full
year contribution from the Oneflare marketplace of
$9.5 million.
Our core Australian marketplace continued to
perform strongly generating a record $25 million of
positive EBITDA which now covers all our fixed
global head office operating and innovation
expenditure. At the same time, our marketplaces in
the UK and US continued to grow strongly in FY23,
with revenue up 83.5% on the prior year.

2023 Annual Report
Looking back, the year was marked by several
significant and important events.
We spent a large part of the first half of the year
integrating the Oneflare business which we acquired
in May 2022. The integration has proceeded in line
with plan achieving operational, technical and
financial synergies through integration into
Airtasker’s existing infrastructure.
In January 2023, we launched an all-new Airtasker
brand design across our entire platform and business,
setting ourselves up for global scale.
In April 2023, with a focus on operational efficiency:
we made the difficult but necessary decision to
reduce our global headcount by 45 roles resulting in
an operating expenditure reduction of 20%. Whilst
this decision was incredibly difficult to make, we are
confident it will allow Airtasker to best flourish in the
long term. One of our most important values at
Airtasker is “people matter” and before looking further
ahead, I would like to take this opportunity to express
gratitude for the contributions that each of those
individuals made throughout their Airtasker journey.
We are forever grateful.
In June 2023 we announced a £3.5 million investment
into Airtasker UK (our UK subsidiary) from UK
television network Channel 4 which will provide
Airtasker with access to over 47 million people across
the UK each year (over 78% of the UK population). We
are super excited about the potential of the Channel
4 partnership to replicate the success we achieved
with Seven West Media in Australia and to make
Airtasker a household name across the UK!
As the year came to a close, we stood in a position of
financial strength with over $16 million in cash and
zero debt. With a renewed focus on efficiency, we
reduced our net cash outflow in FY23 by 24% over the
prior year and are well on track to generate a positive
free cash flow result in FY24.
significantly in the development and wellbeing of
our people. In FY24, we will continue to invest in
building a world class team and empower them to
do their best work in line with Airtasker’s values.
Finally, this year we bid a warm farewell to our
long-serving Chair James Spenceley who provided
invaluable guidance and support along every
stage of the Airtasker journey from seed startup
to publicly listed ASX company. Thank you so
much James.
Moving forward, we are honoured to welcome
Cass O’Connor as our new Chair and I am super
excited to be working alongside her and our Board
on the next phase of our journey!
In January 2023 we
launched the new
Airtasker branding and
livery across our global
business and assets.
In closing, FY23 has been a formative year for
Airtasker. Amidst a challenging economy, we
achieved record revenue, proved the resilience of
our business model and continued to invest in the
people and platforms that will take Airtasker to
the next level. Needless to say, I am super excited
for what’s to come at Airtasker in FY24!
Thank you for your continuing support.
Looking ahead, we’re incredibly focussed on doing
a few things really well. We will focus relentlessly
on our Airtasker and Oneflare platforms, invest into
our core product experience and scale our new
marketplaces through the establishment of local
media partnerships.
Our people are, and will continue to be, core to our
success. At Airtasker, our mission statement
applies not only to our marketplace but also to our
team - and in the pursuit of empowering every one
of our team members to realise the full value of
their skills, in FY23 we continued to invest

Principal activity
The principal activity of the Group is
the provision of technology-enabled
online marketplaces for local
services, connecting people and
businesses who need work done
with people and businesses who
want to work.
Overview of the Group
Airtasker is Australia’s leading
online marketplace platform for
local services, connecting people
who need work done with people
who want to work. Since launching
in 2012, Airtasker has served more
than 1.3 million unique paying
customers (‘UPC’) and has put
more than $500 million into the
pockets of taskers in the community
(net of Airtasker’s fees).
The mission of Airtasker is to
empower people to realise the full
value of their skills. The core
purpose of the Group is to enable
flexible jobs and income
opportunities by becoming the
world’s most trusted place to buy
and sell local services. More than
7.1% of Australians use a digital
platform to find work and more than
34.8% of those people have chosen
to work through the Airtasker
marketplaces, placing the Group
at the forefront of the flexible
working movement.1
The Group has two main areas of
strategic and operational focus.
In Australia, it is scaling and
realising value in its established
home marketplaces through the
Airtasker and Oneflare platforms.
In international markets, it is
investing in establishing and
growing new marketplaces in the
United Kingdom (‘UK’) and the
United States of America (‘US’)
through the Airtasker platform.
Airtasker acquired the Oneflare
business, one of Australia’s
largest local services marketplace
platforms, on 25 May 2022. During
FY23, the integration of Oneflare
has proceeded to plan with the
business contributing a full year
of revenue while also achieving
operational, technical and financial
synergies through integration into
the pre-existing Airtasker
operational and support functions.
The Oneflare business has provided
Airtasker with significant
intellectual property on accessing
the high value professional trades
segment, which has an estimated
Australian total addressable market
(‘TAM’) of $110.3 billion.2

2023 Annual Report
12
On 27 April 2023, the Group
announced a program to reduce
costs and focus on efficient global
scaling of the core Airtasker
marketplaces. As a result of these
changes the Group is targeting to
be free cashflow positive for the
financial year ending 30 June 2024
(‘FY24’). The program of efficient
growth included:
• Reducing global headcount by
20%, resulting in approximately
45 roles being made redundant,
primarily in non-revenue
generating functions;
• Exiting non-core businesses
acquired as part of Oneflare’s
portfolio of businesses, including
Renovate Forum, Word of Mouth
and Urban You. These changes
will reduce recurring revenue
in FY24 by up to $1.0 million
while also having a positive
impact on operating expenses
and cashflow;
• Continuing to focus on efficient
global scaling of the core
Airtasker marketplaces and the
Oneflare marketplace in Australia.
On 7 June 2023, Airtasker UK
Limited (‘Airtasker UK’) and the
Company entered into a series of
agreements with 4 Ventures Limited
and Channel Four Television
Corporation (collectively, ‘Channel
4’) whereby the Group would
receive $6.7 million (£3.5 million) of
media advertising services in
exchange for a 20% interest in the
Company’s subsidiary, Airtasker UK.
The investment will enable the
Group to accelerate its UK
marketplace growth by building
brand awareness, growing users
and building network effects
through access to the UK’s biggest
free streaming service (with over
1.2 billion views per year) and
Channel 4’s monthly reach of
more than 47 million people
(78% of the UK population).3

Operating and financial
performance for the year
Statutory results
The Group achieved strong growth
in FY23, with statutory revenue
growing 40.4% to $44.2 million
versus $31.5 million for the year
ended 30 June 2022 (‘FY22’). This
result reflected organic growth in
the Airtasker marketplace in
Australia and a full year revenue
contribution from the Oneflare
marketplace. The result also
reflected steady international
growth in new marketplaces,
principally in the UK and the US.
The Group’s gross profit grew 42.6%
in line with revenue growth and the
lower direct costs associated with
the Oneflare business.
The FY23 net loss before tax
decreased 37.1% to $12.9 million
(FY22: loss of $20.5 million) with the
net loss after tax (‘NPAT’) at $12.9
million (FY22: loss of $20.4 million).
Net cash outflows for FY23 were
$7.7 million (FY22: $10.1 million),
a decrease of 23.9%.
Earnings before interest and
taxation (‘EBIT’), earnings before
interest, taxation, depreciation and
amortisation (‘EBITDA’) are financial
measures which are not prescribed
by Australian Accounting Standards
(‘AAS’) and represent the statutory
NPAT under AAS adjusted for
specific non-cash and other items.
The directors consider that EBIT,
EBITDA reflect the core earnings of
the Group and assist in
understanding the financial
performance of the Group.
The FY23 EBIT loss decreased 37.7%
to $12.8 million (FY22: loss of $20.6
million) while the EBITDA loss
decreased 53.1% to $8.0 million
(FY22: loss of $17.1 million).

Summary of FY23 operating and
financial performance
Airtasker’s business performed well
in FY23 through the core Airtasker
marketplaces in Australia and
internationally, as well as the
Australian Oneflare marketplace
acquired in FY22. In Australia, the
COVID-19 related restrictions that
impacted business performance in
FY22 had largely subsided, however,
were replaced by challenging
macro-economic conditions that
impacted consumer sentiment and
marketplace demand.
In Australia macro-economic
influences associated with an
inflationary environment and
tightening monetary policy
gathered momentum during the
financial year. Consequently, supply
(tasker offers) recovered and
accelerated at a faster rate through
the financial year than customer
demand (posted tasks), which
softened over the financial year.
The Airtasker business model
demonstrated resilience and
adaptability with the demand and
supply metrics finding a natural
market equilibrium. As such, the
marketplace saw a trend towards
higher task assignment rates,
higher task completion rates and
hence lower task cancellation rates,
$’000
%
resulting in an improved customer
experience.
Group marketplace activity is
represented by gross marketplace
volume (‘GMV’), which grew 33.7%
to $253.5 million4 (FY22: $189.6
million). In FY22, in particular the
first quarter, the business was
significantly impacted by COVID-19
related restrictions and lockdowns
in Australia which limited taskers’
ability to complete tasks onsite.
Revenue grew 40.4% to $44.2
million (FY22: $31.5 million)
reflecting organic growth in the
Airtasker marketplace in Australia
and the full year revenue
contribution from the Oneflare
marketplace. The result also
reflected steady international
growth in new marketplaces of $0.9
million. The take rate5 of 17.6% for
FY23 was up above the FY22 take
rate of 16.6%, due to an increase in
the volume of closed tasks as a
result of increased reliability on the
platform, combined with the
