Spinny posts Rs 4,657 Cr revenue in FY25; cuts losses by 28% Used car retailer Spinny posted a steady performance in FY25 with notable top-line growth and narrowing losses. The Gurugram-based company’s revenue from operations jumped 25% year-on-year to Rs 4,657 crore, up from Rs 3,730 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Spinny primarily generates its revenue from used car sales, accounting for 97.7% of its operating income (Rs 4,553 crore) from this segment, marking a 25.7% YoY rise during FY25. The balance came from commissions, support services, and advertising. Beyond operations, the company booked Rs 89 crore in non-operating income from interest on deposits, corporate bonds, mutual fund gains, and fair value adjustments. This pushed its total income to Rs 4,746 crore in FY25 from Rs 3,822 crore in FY24. For the used car retailer, the cost of procuring cars was naturally the largest cost center, accounting for 83.3% of the overall cost. In line with a 25% revenue surge, this cost grew 23% to Rs 4,309 crore in FY25. The firm cut its employee benefits by 13.8% to Rs 338 crore in the said year. Spinny’s direct cost stood at Rs 147 crore while its advertising and promotion costs reduced by 11.3% to Rs 125 crore in FY25. Other overheads, including information technology, legal, travelling, and rent, took the total cost to Rs 5,170 crore in FY25. The decent growth in its revenue helped Spinny to cut down its losses by 28.3% to Rs 423 crore in FY25 from Rs 590 crore in FY24. The company has also improved its per unit expense to revenue ratio in FY25, which was recorded at Rs 1.11. In March this year, the company closed $170 million round this year led by Accel Leaders Fund. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Spinny has raised around $676 million to date, including investors like Tiger Global, Accel, Elevation Capital, and others. The company expanded its portfolio by acquiring Autocar India, an auto media and car content platform, and started its own NBFC subsidiary.

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. This covers the revenue side; now let’s look at the major cash burn for the Flipkart-owned company in FY24. Cleartrip allocated 40% of its total costs to employee benefits in FY24, which surged by 61.3% to Rs 400 crore. This amount includes Rs 180 crore in non-cash ESOP costs. Excluding ESOPs, Cleartrip’s expenditure on salaries and wages stood at Rs 220 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024. The firm spent Rs 128 crore on advertising and marketing, while its commissions and brokerage costs amounted to Rs 70 crore in FY24. Cleartrip also allocated Rs 91 crore to payment gateway charges, which is notable given that its revenue stood at only Rs 97 crore. Its outsourcing, information technology, legal and other overheads took the overall cost up by 26.7% to Rs 988 crore in FY24 from Rs 780 crore in FY23. See TheKredible for the detailed expense chart. 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. On the competition side, MMT reported revenue of $792 million (Rs 6,650 crore) in FY24, along with $216.7 million (Rs 1,820 crore) in profits. Meanwhile, Ixigo, EaseMyTrip, and Yatra have recorded Rs 656 crore, Rs 590 crore, and Rs 448 crore in revenue, respectively.
