Redcliffe Labs crosses Rs 350 Cr revenue in FY24, narrows losses significantly

Online diagnostic platform Redcliffe, backed by Leapfrog Investments, reported modest growth during the fiscal year ending March 2024, achieving a 28% reduction in losses, largely attributed to a significant cut in advertising and material costs. Redcliffe’s revenue from operations grew by 11% to Rs 348.38 crore in FY24 from Rs 313.86 crore in FY23, as per its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Redcliffe Labs operates a network of laboratories specializing in pathological testing across various branches of biochemistry and radiology. Around 98% of its operating revenue came from these services, contributing Rs 341.02 crore in FY24. The sale of products and other operating income accounted for Rs 2.16 crore and Rs 5.20 crore, respectively, during the last fiscal year. The company’s total income crossed Rs 353 crore in FY24 with other non-operating income worth Rs 5.3 crore including interest income and excess provisions written back. The Noida-based company’s advertising costs fell by 45% to Rs 65.38 crore, and material costs, which declined by 15% to Rs 106.31 crore in FY24. However, there was a notable increase in laboratory test charges and depreciation costs which grew by 62.2% and 3X respectively. Overall, the company successfully controlled its total expenses, which dropped 14% to Rs 556.16 crore in FY24 from Rs 647.30 crore in FY23. In the end, the company managed to decrease its losses by 28% to Rs 250 crore in FY24 from Rs 345 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -544.68% and -57.55%, respectively. On a unit basis, Redcliffe Labs spent Rs 1.6 to earn a rupee in FY24. Redcliffe recorded cash and bank balances of Rs 15.87 crore and had current assets worth Rs 89.64 crore as of FY24. According to TheKredible, Redcliffe Labs has amassed total funding of $113 million to date, including investments from LeapFrog. The company recently secured $42 million in a Series C funding round and acquired Bengaluru-based Celara Diagnostics for approximately $7 million. Entrackr exclusively reported the development. Among venture-funded companies, Redcliffe competes with PharmEasy-owned Thyrocare, Healthians, and 1mg. Tata 1mg’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,968 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,627 crore in FY23 while Healthians achieved EBITDA profitability with Rs 243 crore revenue in FY24. Thyrocare, which is a public company, reported 20% jump in revenue to Rs 177.4 crore in Q2 FY25 with a profit after tax of Rs 26.4 crore. While founded in 2018, Redcliffe Labs saw real interest, and backing for its plans in the year after Covid struck, when diagnostic labs were considered as good as money printing machines by some investors. That has meant the usual spike in funding, followed by the struggle we are seeing in the past two years, as momentum has all but died out, and much like edtech, the legacy players including hospitals have fought back to reclaim their space. On a smaller base as compared to its peers, Redcliffe’s topline growth remains unimpressive, and the bottomline pressure will continue to hurt. While it has done its own share of acquisitions to buy its way out of stagnation, that has clearly not worked, to no one’s surprise. The whole category faces a challenge of growth today, even if the overall size is much much larger than pre-2020, and looks set to remain that way. The only issue is the scramble for share among many more players, including those who raised money at hefty post-covid valuations, making growth difficult. Despite many promises, no firm has stood out for a breakthrough offering like faster speed, lower costs or specialised accurate diagnosis, to stand out. Fy25 promises to be yet another year of attrition, and for Redcliffe, the best hope might yet remain a respectable acquisition by a larger player, than trying to cut its own pathway ahead.

The Indian unit of merchant commerce and payments platform Pine Labs has reported flat revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2024. However, the Delhi-based firm’s losses swelled 3X in this period. Pine Labs’s operating revenue increased modestly by 2.8% to Rs 1,317 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,281 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Caveat: Pine Labs is registered in Singapore and has not yet submitted its FY24 results there. Based on the previous fiscal year’s report, the parent entity is expected to post approximately Rs 400 crore more or over Rs 1,700 crore in operating revenue in the last fiscal year. As for the revenue channels of Pine Labs’ Indian entity, income from transaction processing and settlement was the main contributor, accounting for 61% of total operating revenue, which rose a modest 1.5% to Rs 805 crore in FY24. Income from digitization and services provided at petroleum outlets amounted to Rs 67 crore during the same period. Pine Labs also offers gifting solutions through Qwikcilver, Pine Perks, and Google Wallet. Income from this segment declined by 44.5% to Rs 111 crore in FY24. Revenue from device sales, plastic cards, and other miscellaneous sources brought the total revenue to Rs 1,384 crore during the last fiscal year, compared to Rs 1,328 crore in FY23. In terms of cost breakdown, Pine Labs allocated 38.5% of its total expenditure to employee benefits, which grew by 3% to Rs 625 crore in FY24, including Rs 58 crore in non-cash ESOP expenses. Legal and professional fees were the next largest expense category. Other significant costs included materials, travel, advertising, e-commerce site listings, database communication, and repairs, bringing total expenditures up by 15.8% to Rs 1,624 crore in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin 14.91% 10.55% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.09 ₹1.23 ROCE -1.65% -7.87% The modest growth in scale, combined with a nearly 16% rise in expenditure, led Pine Labs to report a more than threefold increase in losses, reaching Rs 187 crore in FY24 compared to Rs 56 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -7.87% and 10.55%, respectively. On a per-unit basis, Pine Labs spent Rs 1.23 to earn a rupee in FY24. Pine Labs recently received approval from a Singapore court to relocate its domicile to India. It also obtained initial approval from the National Company Law Tribunal to merge its entities in India and Singapore. Pine Labs has been pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) for several years. Last year, the company appointed bankers for a U.S. IPO, but the attempt did not materialize. While the firm has not yet confirmed a listing timeline, it is likely to debut on one of the Indian stock exchanges sometime in the next fiscal year (FY26).

The Mumbai-based firm narrowed its losses by over 83% during the same period. Compared to FY23, the firm’s operating scale grew by 12% to Rs 3,733 crore, according to its annual financial statement sourced from Singapore.

Eruditus offers education across more than 80 countries to over a million learners.

The company deferred recognition of Rs 800 crore ($96 million) in collected revenue to the last fiscal year (FY25). Eruditus made progress in controlling its expenses as its marketing expenses dipped 18.85% year-on-year to Rs 1,007 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,241 crore in FY23. Other operating expenses were down by 32.16% year-on-year to Rs 1,045 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,541 crore in FY23. The cost optimizations led to a sharp improvement in the company’s bottom line. Eruditus narrowed its adjusted EBITDA losses by 83.45% to Rs 69 crore ($8.3 million) in FY24 from Rs 417 crore ($50 million) in FY23. With backing from investors such as TPG, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Prosus Ventures, Accel, and Peak XV, Eruditus has the capital reserve to expand its presence and offerings across markets. In October 2024, it raised $150 million in the second-largest edtech deal of the year, after PhysicsWallah’s $210 million funding. With revenue approaching $500 million and an 83% reduction in losses, the company shows a path toward sustainable growth in the edtech industry. Heading into FY25 with deferred revenue, Eruditus is on track to achieve profitability while building on its revenue base.
