Snapdeal records Rs 384 Cr revenue in FY24, adjusted EBITDA loss drops by 88% E-commerce marketplace Snapdeal delivered steady financial results in FY24 as its revenue from operations increased by 2.1%, rising to Rs 379.76 crore in FY24. The company’s cost-reduction measures led to its adjusted EBITDA loss dropping by 88% from Rs 144 crore in FY23 to Rs 16 crore in FY24. It also improved its operating cash flows during the last fiscal year. Snapdeal’s revenue from operations increased by 2.1%, rising to Rs 379.76 crore in FY24 from Rs 371.96 crore in FY23, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the RoC. Snapdeal’s primary revenue streams include marketing services, e-commerce enablement, and other ancillary sources. Marketing services continued to be the largest contributor, generating Rs 252.55 crore, though it witnessed a dip of 9.6% compared to FY23. Its enablement revenue increased by 14.8% to Rs 103.36 crore, reflecting the platform’s growing traction among value-focused sellers. Additionally, revenue from other sources surged over 8X to Rs 23.85 crore in FY24. Snapdeal’s strategic focus on targeted cost-reduction initiatives led to significant expense savings across multiple categories. The company’s spending on employee benefits reduced by 48.5% to Rs 158.4 crore in FY24 from Rs 307.53 crore in FY23. Promotional costs were also reduced by 23.5% to Rs 70.37 crore during the same period. Overall, the Gurugram-based firm’s total expenditure dropped by 21.4% to Rs 540.76 crore in FY24 from Rs 687.93 crore in FY23. The company’s improved performance was visible in the 43.2% reduction of loss to Rs 160.38 crore in FY24. Further, most of this loss seems to be on account of non-cash heads, including the revaluation of a put option held by Unicommerce investors to the tune of Rs 110 crore, leading to an adjusted EBITDA loss of Rs 16 crore, which shows that the company is nearing its target of reaching profitability. As per the filings, Snapdeal reduced its stake in Unicommerce, generating Rs 33 crore from a secondary sale of 3.4% stakes in May/June 2024 prior to the IPO and an offer for sale of 9.2% stake for Rs 81 crore in the IPO completed in August 2024.

Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries is reportedly in talks to acquire a stake in Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, driven by the OTT boom and changing dynamics in Bollywood. This strategic move aims to enhance Reliance’s entertainment portfolio, which includes Jio Studios and Viacom18 Studios. Dharma Productions, primarily owned by Johar, is exploring partnerships due to rising production costs and declining theater attendance. Previous attempts to monetize its stake faced valuation challenges. Analysts suggest that a stake sale could help Dharma transition to a professionally managed entity. Reliance’s interest follows its past investments in media companies, indicating a focus on expanding its influence in the entertainment sector.
