Medial

The Indian unit of merchant commerce and payments platform Pine Labs has reported flat revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2024. However, the Delhi-based firm’s losses swelled 3X in this period. Pine Labs’s operating revenue increased modestly by 2.8% to Rs 1,317 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,281 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Caveat: Pine Labs is registered in Singapore and has not yet submitted its FY24 results there. Based on the previous fiscal year’s report, the parent entity is expected to post approximately Rs 400 crore more or over Rs 1,700 crore in operating revenue in the last fiscal year. As for the revenue channels of Pine Labs’ Indian entity, income from transaction processing and settlement was the main contributor, accounting for 61% of total operating revenue, which rose a modest 1.5% to Rs 805 crore in FY24. Income from digitization and services provided at petroleum outlets amounted to Rs 67 crore during the same period. Pine Labs also offers gifting solutions through Qwikcilver, Pine Perks, and Google Wallet. Income from this segment declined by 44.5% to Rs 111 crore in FY24. Revenue from device sales, plastic cards, and other miscellaneous sources brought the total revenue to Rs 1,384 crore during the last fiscal year, compared to Rs 1,328 crore in FY23. In terms of cost breakdown, Pine Labs allocated 38.5% of its total expenditure to employee benefits, which grew by 3% to Rs 625 crore in FY24, including Rs 58 crore in non-cash ESOP expenses. Legal and professional fees were the next largest expense category. Other significant costs included materials, travel, advertising, e-commerce site listings, database communication, and repairs, bringing total expenditures up by 15.8% to Rs 1,624 crore in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin 14.91% 10.55% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.09 ₹1.23 ROCE -1.65% -7.87% The modest growth in scale, combined with a nearly 16% rise in expenditure, led Pine Labs to report a more than threefold increase in losses, reaching Rs 187 crore in FY24 compared to Rs 56 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -7.87% and 10.55%, respectively. On a per-unit basis, Pine Labs spent Rs 1.23 to earn a rupee in FY24. Pine Labs recently received approval from a Singapore court to relocate its domicile to India. It also obtained initial approval from the National Company Law Tribunal to merge its entities in India and Singapore. Pine Labs has been pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) for several years. Last year, the company appointed bankers for a U.S. IPO, but the attempt did not materialize. While the firm has not yet confirmed a listing timeline, it is likely to debut on one of the Indian stock exchanges sometime in the next fiscal year (FY26).
