Medial

Data and research platform Tracxn announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year (Q4 FY25) on Monday. The firm slipped into losses during the quarter, while its revenue grew by a mere 5% over the same period. Tracxn's revenue from operations stayed flat at Rs 21 crore in Q4 FY25, compared to Rs 20 crore in Q4 FY24, its financial statements sourced from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) show. For the full fiscal year (FY25), Tracxn’s operating revenue increased 2% to Rs 84.5 crore in FY25 from Rs 83 crore in FY24. Tracxn generated its entire operating revenue from subscription sales, offering access to its data and software. However, the Bengaluru-based firm did not provide a detailed revenue breakdown for the quarter. The company also made Rs 1.5 crore from non-operating sources which took Tracxn’s total revenue to Rs 22.7 crore in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, for the full fiscal year (FY25), total income stood at Rs 90.36 crore. Employee benefits remained the largest cost center for Tracxn, accounting for 86% of its total expenditure. These expenses increased by 5.6% year-on-year, rising to Rs 19.36 crore in Q4 FY25 from Rs 17.77 crore in Q4 FY24. Overall, Tracxn's total costs grew by approximately 10%, reaching Rs 22 crore in Q4 FY25. For the fiscal year ending March 2025, total expenses increased to Rs 84 crore. The stagnant revenue and a nearly 10% increase in overall costs caused Tracxn to slip into losses. The company’s loss after tax stood at Rs 8 crore in Q4 FY25 from a profit of Rs 1.42 crore in Q4 FY24. However, the company reported a profit before tax of Rs 73 lakhs. Meanwhile, for the full fiscal year (FY25), its losses stood at Rs 9.5 crore. The company recently approved an ESOP grant of over 2 lakh shares, valued at Rs 41.6 lakh. As of the last trading session, Tracxn’s share price was Rs 63, giving the company a market cap of Rs 674 crore ($79 million).
