Ann: Annual Report 2022, page-2

The presentation provided by Freelancer is visually stunning and well-documented, a hallmark of their consistent quality. However, upon closer examination, it is apparent that the company has been struggling with a non-growth dilemma for several years. Despite bringing on new ventures such as the freight delivery business and expanding their enterprise, the revenue of Freelancer remains stagnant at $55 million AUD, a 10% decline from the previous year.

Upon deeper analysis, several factors contribute to this situation:

1. Freelancer.com is facing stiff competition from ready-made products and user-friendly tools that are readily available online. With the introduction of Chat GTP, their business may face further erosion.
2. Freelancer Enterprise is also struggling to find traction with big companies, as they tend to seek out the best talent in the market, leaving little room for Freelancer's offerings.
3. Escrow.com's business model is constrained by regulations, limiting its ability to expand.
4. Even in the freight delivery business, established players such as Uber, Lyft, Didi, and InDriver have superior software engineers, rendering Freelancer's efforts obsolete.

In summary, Freelancer appears to be a company in decline with few prospects for growth. While they have attempted to diversify their offerings, their efforts have not translated into meaningful revenue growth.
