Cashify nears Rs 1,000 Cr revenue in FY24, cuts losses by two-third
Medial

The re-commerce marketplace Cashify recorded a modest 14.4% year-on-year increase in revenue, surpassing the Rs 900 crore mark for the fiscal year ending March 2024. However, the NewQuest Capital-backed firm reduced its losses by 63% during the same period. Cashify’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 935 crore in the last fiscal year, from Rs 817 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Cashify enables users to buy and sell used electronics, primarily phones and laptops. It also partners with OEMs like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Samsung for exchange programs and collaborates with Amazon and Flipkart to simplify refurbished device trade. The sale of used mobile phones and other electronic gadgets like speakers, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, and smartwatches formed 91.5% of the total operating revenue, which increased by 12.3% to Rs 856 crore in FY24. The rest of the income comes from commission and mobile repair services. The Gurugram-based firm earned Rs 19.8 crore from non-operating services, taking the overall income to Rs 955 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 832 crore in FY23. Having a cash-and-carry model, the cost of procurement of materials accounted for 79.3% of the total expenditure. This cost grew by 6.4% to Rs 800 crore in FY24 from Rs 752 crore in FY23. Cashify managed to maintain its employee benefits steady at Rs 123 crore in FY24 while its marketing cost decreased by 14.3% to Rs 30 crore. Rent, logistics, legal, traveling, and other overheads took the overall cost up by only 3.3% to Rs 1,008 crore in FY24 from Rs 976 crore in FY23. The constant growth and controlled cost helped Cashify to shrink its losses by 63.2% to Rs 53 crore in FY24 as compared to Rs 144 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to -15.6% and -3.98%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.08 to earn a rupee in FY24. Cashify’s current assets stood at Rs 382 crore with cash and bank balance of Rs 91 crore in the last fiscal year (FY24). Cashify has raised $130 million across several rounds. According to TheKredible, NewQuest Capital is the largest external shareholder with 19.5%, followed by Olympus and MIH Ecommerce Holdings. It competes with Greendust and Yaantra among several others. Writing about Cashify financials last year, Entrackr projected a profitable year by FY26 for the re-commerce firm, and we believe they remain on course for that milestone in FY25 itself possibly. The firm has the scale and experience to make corrections where required, and features like tie-ups with top selling manufacturers or extended warranties for a nominal amount have gone a long way to help assuage consumer fears. Unlike either related though not similar platforms like OLX or Quikr.
