Ixigo ends Q2 FY25 with Rs 206 Cr revenue and Rs 13 Cr PAT
Medial

Online travel aggregator (OTA) Ixigo’s revenue from operations grew 26% to Rs 206.47 crore in Q2 FY25 as compared to the same quarter of FY24. The growth was steered by the flight and bus segment. The flight gross transaction value grew by 43% YoY, while the bus GTV increased by 46%. The company’s contribution margin also improved by 24% to Rs 91.08 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to Rs 73.67 crore in Q2 FY24, the company said in a stock exchange filing. However, the contribution margin as a percentage of revenue from operations slightly decreased from 45% in Q2 FY24 to 44% in Q2 FY25. The Gurugram-based company generated the majority (53.5%) of its operating revenue from train ticketing amounting to Rs 110.4 crore in Q1 FY25. Flight and bus booking services contributed 27% and 19.3% to the company’s coffers, respectively. The firm’s operating expenses rose in Q2 FY25, reflecting increased investments in growth. Employee expenses and marketing costs contributed to this spike, which was necessary to support the company’s expansion in user acquisition and market penetration. Despite the rise in costs, EBITDA saw a sharp increase of 655%, reaching Rs 22.4 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to Rs 2.96 crore in Q2 FY24. Adjusted EBITDA also jumped 326% to Rs 20.99 crore in Q2 FY25. Ixigo profit after tax (PAT) declined by 51%, from Rs 26.70 crore in Q2 FY24 to Rs 13.08 crore in Q2 FY25. This decline was primarily due to a deferred tax charge of Rs 5.26 crore in Q2 FY25.

Ixigo takes on MMT with trip guarantee feature for train travelers
Medial

Full-stack online travel aggregator (OTA) Ixigo has launched a travel guarantee feature for train travelers, positioning itself as a direct competitor to its arch-rival, MakeMyTrip. The Gurugram-based company claims that its new feature provides a 3X refund (1X ticket refund and 2X wallet refund) if a traveler’s waitlisted PNR fails to confirm. This feature also allows passengers to explore and book alternative last-minute travel options, with the added benefit of higher monetary compensation for unconfirmed train tickets. According to Ixigo, this initiative aims to tackle the challenges of long waitlists during peak travel periods while protecting passengers from last-minute fare hikes. 'This not only provides greater financial value but also empowers travelers to rebook their journey through alternate travel options without having to worry about last-minute fare hikes. With this initiative, we aim to make train travel more reliable, convenient, and worry-free for everyone,' said Dinesh Kumar Kotha, CEO of Ixigo Trains in a stock exchange filing. MakeMyTrip introduced a similar feature in 2021, offering 3X refunds under the scheme. The new feature is expected to resonate well with Ixigo users, as the company dominates the train-booking space, generating 53% (Rs 110 crore) of its revenue from train bookings last quarter. Ixigo reported total revenue of Rs 206 crore and a PAT of Rs 13 crore in Q2 FY25. In comparison, India's largest OTA, MakeMyTrip, reported Rs 1,772 crore in revenue for Q2 FY25 but did not provide a detailed income breakdown for train bookings.

EaseMyTrip, on the other hand, posted a flat growth with its modest revenue less service cost growth to Rs 131 crore in Q2 FY25 from RS 130.7 crore in Q2 FY24. However, according to IFRS, its revenue from operations stood at Rs 145 crore in Q2FY25 with the profits dwindling by 42.6% to Rs 27 crore in Q2FY25, as compared to Rs 47 crore in Q2FY24.

However, the company posted 2.5X growth to Rs 236 crore in Q2FY25, if we don't exclude the service cost component.
