CoinSwitch’s parent PeepalCo revenue declines to Rs 38 Cr in FY24, losses shrink 65%
Medial

CoinSwitch’s parent entity PeepalCo, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in India, has continued to struggle with a declining scale for consecutive fiscal years (FY23 and FY24). After an 84% dip in FY23, its operating revenue shrank by 46% in the fiscal year ending March 2024. CoinSwitch’s parent revenue from operations dropped to Rs 38 crore ($4.56 million) during FY24 as compared to Rs 70.2 crore ($8.41 million) booked in the previous fiscal year, the company’s consolidated financial statements filed by the parent entity (PeepalCo) in Singapore show. PeepalCo owns and operates two businesses: cryptocurrency trading through CoinSwitch and equities trading via Lemonn. CoinSwitch operates as a virtual digital assets (VDA) exchange aggregator, connecting buyers and sellers of digital assets. The company’s revenue comes primarily from service fees for facilitating transactions between users and third-party VDA exchanges. It also operates an electronic exchange platform, linking market makers and other large-volume traders in the VDA space. Importantly, PeepalCo generated a large chunk of revenue from investment sales, interest income, reversal of provisions on digital assets, reconciliation gains on digital assets, and others. This non-operating income stood at Rs 149.13 crore or $17.86 million in FY24. Coming to the expenditure, CoinSwitch’s parent spent the most on employee benefits which shrank 17% to Rs 208.42 crore in FY24. Computer & IT expenses also saw a dip of 19% to Rs 36.91 crore while depreciation and amortization costs went up 6.7% to Rs 18.54 crore. Overall, the company’s total expenditure declined 36.7% to Rs 318.6 crore ($38.15 million) during FY24. Followed by the cost-cutting measures, CoinSwitch managed to cut down its losses by 65% to Rs 151.4 crore ($18.13 million) in FY24 against Rs 434.2 crore in the previous year. The operating cash outflows also improved to the tune of 36.8% to Rs 95 crore. As per TheKredible, the EBITDA margin and ROCE registered at -59.10% and -7.95%, respectively. On a unit level, CoinSwitch spent Rs 8.37 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY24.

Fintrackr All Stories Bakingo crosses Rs 200 Cr revenue in FY24 with marginal losses Online bakery brand Bakingo recorded a 43% year-on-year growth during the last fiscal year ending March 2024. However, in pursuit of expansion, the losses for the Gurugram-based company increased marginally in the same period. Bakingo’s revenue from operations grew by 43% to Rs 208.7 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 145.7 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Founded by Himanshu Chawla, Shrey Sehgal, and Suman Patra, Bakingo offers a variety of cakes and desserts, including its signature Cheesecake, Gourmet Cakes, Jar Cakes, and over 100 SKUs. The sale of these products was the only source of revenue for Bakingo. For the bakery firm, the cost of product procurement accounted for 42.2% of its overall expenditure. To the tune of scale, this cost increased 43% to Rs 90 crore in FY24. Its employee benefit grew by 40% to Rs 31.6 crore, while advertising expenses rose by 38% to Rs 27.7 crore. Platform commission fees also saw a jump of 65% to Rs 26.2 crore. Overall, Bakingo’s total expenses rose by 46% to Rs 213.8 crore in FY24 from Rs 146.3 crore in FY23. The surge in employee benefits, advertising, and procurement costs outpaced the revenue growth, resulting in its losses to increase to Rs 5.3 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -6.05% and -0.98% respectively. Bakingo’s expense-to-revenue ratio was recorded at Rs 1.02 with total current assets of Rs 96.5 crore during FY24. Bakingo has raised $16 million (Rs 130 crore) to date, which was its maiden round led by Faering Capital last year at a valuation of Rs 571 crore. According to Fintrackr’s estimates, its enterprise value to revenue multiple stood at 2.7X. The growth in the last year seems to be an outcome of being able to optimise operations to a higher level. In a discretionary category with very high competition, we believe Bakingo still has work to do on the brand, quality perception and distribution to keep growing. For now, it seems to be simply a branded offering for those looking to buy from one, rather than the neighborhood shop or bakery. Signature offerings, better word of mouth, and perhaps even packaging are all gaps that need work.
