Ixigo posts Rs 656 Cr revenue and Rs 73 Cr PAT in FY24
Medial

Le Ventures Private Limited, the parent company of Ixigo, has released its annual results for the fiscal year ended March 2024. The Gurugram-based company saw a 31% year-on-year increase in its revenue along with the profits spiking over 3X in the same period. Ixigo’s revenue from operations grew 31% to Rs 656 crore in FY24 from Rs 501 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) show. On a sequential basis, the firm recorded a modest 3.3% decrease in its revenue to Rs 164.8 crore in Q4 FY24 from Rs 170.5 crore in Q3 FY24. Ixigo primarily generates income from convenience fees and commissions on train, airline, and bus ticket reservations. Train reservations contributed 56.4% of the total revenue, rising by 24.2% to Rs 370 crore in FY24. Income from airlines and buses stood at Rs 146 crore and Rs 132 crore, respectively in FY24. The company also generated Rs 9.2 crore from interest and financial assets which took its total income to Rs 665 crore in FY24. During FY24, Ixigo had 480 million annual active users. Its flights business saw 77% YoY growth in passenger segments with total booking of 95.6 million in the last fiscal year. Akin to most late-stage tech companies, employee benefits accounted for 22.4% of the total expenditure. This cost increased by 12% to Rs 141 crore in FY24 from Rs 126 crore in FY23. The firm’s expenditure on marketing, legal, refunds to customers, fees to its partners, and other overheads took its overall expenditure up by 29.8% to Rs 628 crore in FY24 from Rs 484 crore in FY23. The 31% growth and tight control on overall cost helped Ixigo to post a 213.3% surge in its profits to Rs 73 crore in FY24 from Rs 23.3 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to 14.05% and 11.55%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.96 to earn a rupee in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin 6.31% 11.55% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹0.97 ₹0.96 ROCE 5.02% 14.05% Ixigo went public on June 18 and its IPO was oversubscribed by 98.3X while the portion of non-institutional investors (NIIs) oversubscribed by 110.5 times. The company also saw nearly an 80% surge in its valuation when compared to pre IPO round. With its current stock price at Rs 167 versus the IPO price of Rs 93, Ixigo will certainly face the challenge of delivering on high market expectations. While the firm has the benefit of a strong economy that has allowed valuations to expand in the public markets too, it does have to contend with intense competition and pressure on margins in the months ahead. That makes its Q1 results for the June quarter a huge event in terms of providing a pointer to its growth momentum.

While all online travel agents (OTAs) including MakeMyTrip, Ixigo, Yatra and EaseMy Trip have been profitable for past several quarters, Cleartrip has recorded over Rs 800 crore loss in the fiscal year ending March 2024, despite achieving 98% year-on-year revenue growth. For background, Cleartrip was acquired by Flipkart in April 2021 for $40 million in a distress sale. Cleartrip’s net revenue from operations grew by 98% to Rs 97 crore in FY24 from Rs 49 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Focusing on its gross operations, Cleartrip collected Rs 369 crore in service charges from customers and Rs 240 crore in commissions and incentives in FY24. However, the company provided discounts totaling Rs 525 crore on its services and incentives, which was unexpected and brought its net operating revenue down to Rs 97 crore for FY24.

The firm spent Rs 128 crore on advertising and marketing, while its commissions and brokerage costs amounted to Rs 70 crore in FY24.

Cleartrip refused to comment on queries sent by Entrackr. The increase in overall cost outpaced the revenue growth which led its losses to increase by 18.4% to Rs 810 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 684 crore in FY23, while its EBITDA margin stood at-399%. In FY24, its expense-to-earning ratio was recorded at Rs 10.1 as compared to Rs 15.9 in the previous fiscal year.
