Info Edge’s revenue from operations grew 8% to Rs 2,536 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,345 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements disclosed with the stock exchange shows.

Note 1: The company recorded exceptional items of Rs 110 crore and Rs 509 crore in FY24 and FY23 respectively due to the decrease in the carrying value of investments.

Note 2: The company has 15 joint ventures including Makesense, Happily Unmarried’s Ustraa (now acquired by VLCC), Shopkirana, Juno, Sploot and others during FY24.

Info Edge, the parent company of Naukri and 99acres, has released the unaudited numbers for the second quarter of the ongoing fiscal year (Q2 FY25). Info Edge revenue from operations increased by 14.3% to Rs 650.3 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 569 crore in Q2 FY24, the company’s update accessed from the National Stock Exchange shows. On a sequential basis, the Sanjeev Bikchandani firm posted Rs 2,500 crore in revenue with profits amounting to Rs 500 crore in FY24. According to the NSE document, Info Edge’s recruitment solutions segment (naukri.com) accounted for 75.65% of total revenue, increasing by 14.04% to Rs 492 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 431.4 crore in Q2 FY24. The firm’s real estate segment, 99acres, contributed Rs 107.4 crore to revenue in the second quarter of FY25, while other platforms, including Jeevansathi and Shiksha, added Rs 50.9 crore during the same period. Info Edge reported a total of Rs 1,229.6 crore in revenue in the first half of FY25, which showed a 12.59% increase from Rs 1092.1 crore when compared to the first half of the previous fiscal year (FY24). During the first quarter of FY25, the Noida-based company posted a total revenue of Rs 715.8 crore with net profits standing at Rs 232.2 crore. As of 11:31 AM, Info Edge shares are trading at Rs 8,038.3, down 2% from the opening price of Rs 8,308.90, with a total market capitalization of Rs 1,04,013 crore or approximately $12.38 billion. Thus, the firm continues to be led by its core recruitment business, with the rest going through their by now usual cycle of close, but not quite there when it comes to significant scale or value creation. Many would argue that the investments into the real estate, matrimonial and education portals has fared poorly, perhaps even detracting from more work on the core jobs vertical. Real estate, to take just one example, has been through multiple boom and bust cycles with barely any significant change in long term trajectory beyond single to barely double digit growth. Considering Info Edge’s proficiency in picking winners, and sticking with them for the long haul as seen in the listed Zomato and PolicyBazaar, there is a clear case for the firm to relook at the performance of these verticals.

For the jewelry maker, the cost of procurement of material/stones was naturally the largest cost center forming 69% of the total expenditure.

See TheKredible for the detailed cost breakup. Despite an impressive scale, the company reported a flat profit which stood at Rs 79 crore in FY24 as compared to Rs 82 crore in FY23.

On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.97 to earn a rupee in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin 9.64% 8.98% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹0.95 ₹0.97 ROCE 38.19% 34.88% CaratLane also disclosed its financials for the first quarter of FY25.

On a year-on-year basis, Lahori’s revenue from operations grew 47.2% to Rs 312 crore in FY24 from Rs 212 crore in FY23, as per its consolidated financial statements accessed from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The company generates revenue from beverage sales, including Lahori Zeera, Lahori Nimboo, and Lahori Shikanji, with a small contribution from scrap sales and other non-operating income (gains from investment sales), totaling Rs 313.5 crore in the last fiscal. Procurement was the largest cost center for the beverage manufacturer, accounting for 66% of total expenses. As the company scaled, this cost increased by 35.3%, rising from Rs 136 crore in FY23 to Rs 184 crore in FY24. Employee benefit expenses grew significantly, increasing by 68.8% year-on-year to Rs 27 crore in the same period. Expenses related to rent, freight, subcontracting, legal fees, and other overheads contributed to a 36.9% rise in total expenditure, which grew from Rs 203 crore in FY23 to Rs 278 crore in FY24. Lahori Zeera's profits tripled to Rs 22.5 crore in FY24, up from Rs 7.6 crore in FY23, driven by a 47% revenue surge and controlled costs. The company spent Rs 0.89 to earn a rupee during the year.

Lahori Zeera's CEO, Saurabh Munjal, aims for Rs 500 crore in revenue for the current fiscal year and is reportedly in advanced discussions with Motilal Oswal to raise Rs 400-450 crore. The success of Lahori Zeera is particularly notable in a market dominated by billion-dollar competitors like Pepsi, Coke, and now Reliance. The brand's growth has been bolstered by a strong advertising campaign and expanded distribution. However, there is concern about maintaining the brand's essence as it scales, especially in light of investor-driven pressures.
