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.
