ITEM 4. | INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY — B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW |
Overview (Fifth Paragraph)
We launched our award-winning mobile travel app in 2012 and it is an increasingly important part of our business, as it allows consumers to access and browse our real-time inventory, compare prices and transact through their mobile devices quickly. As of December 31, 2019, our apps have approximately 60 million cumulative downloads from the iOS App Store and Google Play, 21.8 million of which were downloaded in the last two years, and we believe they are the most downloaded OTA apps in Latin America. During 2019 and 2018, mobile accounted for approximately 60% and 61%, respectively, of all of our user visits, and approximately 39% and 34%, respectively, of our transactions were purchased on our mobile platform, complementing our desktop website traffic. As internet, smartphone and other mobile device penetration continue to increase, we believe that our strength in mobile will continue to be a strategic advantage.
Our Products
Packages, Hotels and Other Travel Products
Bus Tickets:Currently, bus tickets are available only in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Chile, and we intend to expand our coverage further to major cities in Latin America. We currently have relationships with suppliers that give us access to more than 180 bus carriers.
ITEM 5. | OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
B. | Liquidity and Capital Resources (Second Paragraph) |
Based on preliminary management estimates, as of March 31, 2020, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $221.7 million. On the same basis, as of March 31, 2020, our travel suppliers payable plus our related party payables and our accounts payable and accrued expenses, minus our accounts receivable net of allowances and our related party receivables, are expected to range between $46 million and $52 million in aggregate net operational payables, compared to aggregate net operational payables of $120.1 million as of December 31, 2019. In addition, we are working on the implementation of different strategies to assist our travel customers with refunds and reschedulings, including through the issuance of vouchers to be used by our travel customers during 2020 or in some cases early 2021. If a travel customer does not accept the voucher, according to our standard commercial terms and conditions, the corresponding refund is typically payable within 120 days from the date the refund is requested.
