Morgan Stanley-backed Recykal’s scale dips in FY24; losses spike 31% While Recykal, a B2B waste management marketplace, achieved 4X year-on-year growth in FY23, the firm could not maintain the same momentum in FY24, with its gross revenue declining by nearly 5%. Moreover, the company’s losses spiked 31% in the same period. Recykal’s gross revenue declined by 4.4% to Rs 712 crore in FY24 from Rs 745 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Founded in 2016, Recykal offers digital solutions for waste management, assisting businesses in meeting EPR targets, sourcing recyclables, and tracking industrial waste. Its services include EPR certificates, plastic neutrality, ITAD, a digital marketplace, and circularity solutions. Gross collections from scrap and waste sales contributed 85% of the gross revenue, which declined 7.4% year-on-year to Rs 608 crore in FY24 from Rs 657 crore in FY23. The remaining revenue was generated from the sale of sustainability services, including EPR certificates. Recykal also added Rs 6 crore interest on deposits and gain on the sale of current investments which tallied the overall income to Rs 718 crore in the last fiscal year, from Rs 748 crore in FY23. For the waste management firm, scrap and waste procurement remained the largest cost center, making up 89.5% of total expenses. With a slight decline in scale, this cost decreased by 3.6% to Rs 673 crore in FY24. Employee benefits surged by 43.3% to Rs 43 crore in FY24, including Rs 3.2 crore in ESOP costs (non-cash). Provisions for doubtful debts, legal expenses, rent, communication, logistics, and other overheads drove total expenditure to Rs 752 crore in FY24. The decline in scale led Recykal to record a 30.8% increase in losses, standing at Rs 34 crore in FY24, up from Rs 26 crore in FY23. Its Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stood at -15.66%, while its EBITDA margin was -4.04%, with an expense-to-revenue ratio of Rs 1.06. By the end of FY24, Recykal reported total current assets of Rs 317 crore, including Rs 70 crore in cash and bank balances. Recykal has raised over $38 million to date including its $13 million round led by 360 ONE Asset Management. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Morgan Stanley is the largest external stakeholder followed by 360 One Asset Management.

Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -70% and -150% respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 3.15 to earn a rupee in FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin -170% -150% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹3.42 ₹3.15 ROCE -26% -70% Bijnis has raised around $42 million across rounds including its $30 million round led by Westbridge Capital in September 2021. According to the startup data intelligence platform, TheKredible Info Edge is the largest external stakeholder with 26.3% followed by Matrix Partners and Peak XV Partners with 14.21% each. A B2B firm dominating in only one segment is relatively rare, and Bijnis just has seen a particularly accessible opportunity in footwear to do so. Or perhaps used the exposure here to build further. With a firm like Zetwerk on a similar track to look up to, the firm seems to be seeking the wider, but tougher opportunity in smaller firms with factories. It will need a longer runway to get traction here, and that will make support from existing investors well worth tracking in the coming quarters.
