Online travel aggregator (OTA) Ixigo’s revenue from operations grew 26% to Rs 206.47 crore in Q2 FY25 as compared to the same quarter of FY24. The growth was steered by the flight and bus segment. The flight gross transaction value grew by 43% YoY, while the bus GTV increased by 46%. The company’s contribution margin also improved by 24% to Rs 91.08 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to Rs 73.67 crore in Q2 FY24, the company said in a stock exchange filing. However, the contribution margin as a percentage of revenue from operations slightly decreased from 45% in Q2 FY24 to 44% in Q2 FY25. The Gurugram-based company generated the majority (53.5%) of its operating revenue from train ticketing amounting to Rs 110.4 crore in Q1 FY25. Flight and bus booking services contributed 27% and 19.3% to the company’s coffers, respectively. The firm’s operating expenses rose in Q2 FY25, reflecting increased investments in growth. Employee expenses and marketing costs contributed to this spike, which was necessary to support the company’s expansion in user acquisition and market penetration. Despite the rise in costs, EBITDA saw a sharp increase of 655%, reaching Rs 22.4 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to Rs 2.96 crore in Q2 FY24. Adjusted EBITDA also jumped 326% to Rs 20.99 crore in Q2 FY25. Ixigo profit after tax (PAT) declined by 51%, from Rs 26.70 crore in Q2 FY24 to Rs 13.08 crore in Q2 FY25. This decline was primarily due to a deferred tax charge of Rs 5.26 crore in Q2 FY25.
