Toothsi parent MakeO reports flat revenue in FY24; losses trim 32% Following over twofold growth in FY23, MakeO, the parent company of Toothsi and skincare brand Skinnsi, reported stable revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2024, but succeeded in reducing its losses by 32%. MakeO’s revenue from operations saw a modest increase of 6.5% to Rs 179 crore in FY24 from Rs 168 crore in FY23, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies. Founded in 2018 by Arpi Mehta Shah, Pravin Shetty, Manjul Jain, and Anirudh Kal, MakeO began as the aligner brand Toothsi and later consolidated its flagship brands, including Skinnsi, to offer dental, skin, and hair treatment solutions. The sale of tooth aligners accounted for 69.2% of the operating revenue, increasing by 7% to Rs 124 crore in FY24. The rest of the revenue came from Skinnsi services, including laser hair reduction, facials, anti-aging treatments, and skincare products. Employee benefits remained the largest cost center at 36% of overall expenditure, amounting to Rs 119 crore in FY24. Consultant fees and marketing costs were reduced by 57% and 24%, respectively, to Rs 26 crore and Rs 69 crore in FY24. Other expenses totaled Rs 332 crore in FY24, down from Rs 395 crore in FY23. The cutback in costs helped MakeO reduce its losses by 31.8% to Rs 150 crore in FY24 from Rs 220 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -77.3% and -66.12% with an expense-to-earnings ratio of Rs 1.85. At the end of FY24, MakeO’s current assets were Rs 153 crore with cash and bank balances of Rs 93 crore. MakeO has raised over $90 million to date, including $16 million led by 360 One Asset and the investment office of Ashish Kacholia. Eight Roads Ventures is the largest external stakeholder, followed by Think Investment.
