Rare Rabbit nears Rs 650 Cr revenue in FY24, profit surges 2.3X

Rare Rabbit nears Rs 650 Cr revenue in FY24, profit surges 2.3X Premium fashion brand Rare Rabbit has been growing rapidly in recent years, with its revenue increasing by over 69% during the fiscal year ending March 2024. At the same time, the firm’s profit surged 2.3 times, touching Rs 70 crore during the same period (FY24). Rare Rabbit’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 637 crore in FY24 from Rs 376 crore in FY23, according to its financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Rare Rabbit is a men's fashion brand operated by The House of Rare. Founded in 2015, the brand offers a range of clothing including shirts, polos, T-shirts, trousers, and jackets. Product sales were the company’s primary source of revenue. The company earned Rs 5 crore from interest income, bringing its total income to Rs 642 crore in FY24. On the expense front, the major cost, material expenses increased by 53% to Rs 208.4 crore. Employee benefit expenses surged by 95% to Rs 78 crore while expense increased by 45% to Rs 93 crore. Rent and commission expenses also increased by 62% and 58%, respectively. Overall, Rare Rabbit’s total expenses grew by 59.9% to Rs 542 crore in FY24, up from Rs 339 crore in FY23. Since Rare Rabbit’s revenue growth outpaced its expenses, the company’s profit surged 2.3 times to Rs 75 crore in FY24 from Rs 32 crore in FY23. The EBITDA margin improved to 19% from 14.7%, while the return on capital employed (ROCE) increased to 52.15% in FY24 from 42.02% in the previous fiscal year. On a unit level, Rare Rabbit spent Rs 0.85 to earn a rupee in the last fiscal year. As of March 2024, the company held Rs 2 crore in cash and bank balances, with current assets totaling Rs 349.5 crore. According to TheKredible, Rare Rabbit has raised a total of approx $24 million of funding to date, which includes the recent Rs 50 crore funding round from its existing lead investor A91 Partners. Rare Rabbit’s success and presence have practically crept up if you have been an ordinary industry watcher. The men's focused brand (their women's offering is called Rare is, and a children's planned offering will be Rare Ones) has gone about its work slowly but surely, not offering the permanent discounts that have been a feature of many others. The premium positioning seems to have worked eventually, placing the brand in a very strong position a decade after it launched. So will the House of Rare stay independent? We are betting it will, at least until after FY25 numbers, which could take the brand beyond the 1000 crore milestone. At that level, assuming it remains profitable, a unicorn valuation will be just one of the perks of staying rare.

LiquiLoans revenue surges 3.4X to Rs 696 Cr in FY24, remains profitable

LiquiLoans revenue surges 3.4X to Rs 696 Cr in FY24, remains profitable While the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) tightens regulations around the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending space, with the impact expected to be seen in FY25 and FY26, the sector’s poster child, LiquiLoans, has experienced 3.4x growth in the fiscal year ending March 2024. LiquiLoans’ revenue from operations jumped to Rs 695.63 crore in the last fiscal year (FY24) from Rs 203.43 crore in FY23, its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. LiquiLoans operates as a peer-to-peer lending platform, providing personal loans, consumer loans, and deposit financing. The platform emphasizes high diversification, capping portfolio exposure per borrower at 0.5%. During the last fiscal year, the sale of these services was the company’s sole source of revenue. LiquiLoans made additional Rs 10 crore from interest income which pushed its total income to Rs 706 crore in FY24. On the expense front, service fee expenses accounted for the largest share, surging 4X to Rs 578.57 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 140 crore in FY23. Commission payouts increased by 88% to Rs 64.72 crore, while employee benefit expenses rose 2.5X to Rs 40.80 crore. Overall, LiquiLoans' total expenses jumped 3.3X, reaching Rs 704.59 crore in FY24, up from Rs 212.94 crore in FY23. The steep rise in expenses led to an 88% drop in profits for LiquiLoans, declining to Rs 71 lakh in FY24 from Rs 5.70 crore in FY23. The company's ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 1.11% and 0.35%, respectively. On a unit basis, LiquiLoans spent Rs 1.01 to generate every rupee of operating revenue in the last fiscal year. The Mumbai-based company reported cash and bank balances of Rs 33 lakh and current assets worth Rs 283 crore in FY24. According to TheKredible, Liquiloans has raised $15 million to date, with Matrix Partners and CRED serving as its lead investors. LiquiLoans has built a strong reputation in the business, and market feedback indicates some of the lowest non-performing loans in its portfolio as well. As the backend for some leading players in the business, the firm has also focused on the higher credit score side of the market, further reducing risk. What that has also meant is that margins can be narrower if returns are safer. Thus, margin expansion will need to look at the cost side harder. With the regulator keen to weed out short-term players, LiquiLoans seems well placed for a strong run in the vanilla personal loans business, besides future opportunities with other products as it builds its own database of high-quality borrowers.
