Urban Company’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 846 crore in the first nine months of FY25 from Rs 601 crore in the first three quarters of FY24, its financial statements disclosed in the DRHP show. Urban Company provides home services, including spa and salon treatments, AC repair, electrical work, painting, wall panel installation, pest control, and more. Revenue from these services contributed 75% of the company’s total collections, which rose 31% to Rs 639 crore in the nine months ending December FY25. The remaining operating revenue came from the sale of products to customers and professionals, amounting to Rs 207 crore during the same period. In addition to selling white-label products for salon services, the company also supplies locks, panels, and water filtration (RO) systems, which increased 7X to Rs 75.8 crore in 9M FY25 from Rs 10.8 crore in 9M FY24. Importantly, Urban Company’s international business accounts for Rs 116.4 crore of revenue during the first three quarters of FY25. It also added Rs 84.2 crore from other income (interest income on zero-coupon bonds and fixed deposits), which took the overall revenue to Rs 930 crore in the first nine months of the last fiscal year. On the expense side, employee benefits accounted for 28.5% of the overall expenditure, which stood at Rs 258 crore during the first nine months of FY25. Urban Company spent Rs 160 crore on advertising and promotional activities and Rs 148 crore on procurement costs during the same period. The incentive given to professionals, outsourced support, cost, freight, warehousing, legal, and other overheads took the overall expenditure up by 23.2% to Rs 903 crore in 9M FY25 from Rs 733 crore in 9M FY24. A combination of over 40% revenue growth and tighter cost controls helped Urban Company swing to a profit before tax of Rs 27.1 crore in the first nine months of FY25, compared to a loss of Rs 57.7 crore during the same period last year. The company’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) improved to 1.84%, while its EBITDA margin rose to 6.78%. At the unit level, Urban Company spent Rs 1.07 to generate a unit of operating revenue. As of December 2024, its total current assets stood at Rs 1,514 crore, including Rs 591 crore in cash and bank balances. Urban Company plans to raise Rs 1,900 crore through its initial public offering (IPO), comprising a fresh issue of Rs 429 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) worth Rs 1,471 crore. The price band for the Tiger Global-backed company is yet to be announced. As part of the OFS, investors including Accel, VY Capital, Prosus, Bessemer, and Elevation Capital will divest a portion of their holdings.

Curefoods posts Rs 746 Cr revenue in FY25, dessert-led income grows 95% Cloud kitchen brand Curefoods has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The move follows the company’s FY25 financial performance, where it reported a revenue of Rs 746 crore and a loss of Rs 170 crore, according to its balance sheet. Curefoods' operating revenue increased by 28% to Rs 746 crore in FY25 from Rs 585 crore in FY24, while its losses remained flat in the last fiscal year. Curefoods operates a multi-brand cloud kitchen business across categories like Indian meals, pizza, desserts, and health-focused food. In FY25, desserts led revenue with Rs 196 crore, followed by pizza (Rs 183 crore), Indian meals (Rs 178 crore), and healthy meals (Rs 176 crore). While desserts and pizza grew 18% and 95% YoY, respectively, the healthy segment declined by 13%. The Bengaluru-based company added Rs 29 crore from interest on financial assets which pushed its total income to Rs 775 crore in FY25. On the expense side, the cost of materials accounted for the largest share at Rs 273 crore, followed by employee benefit expenses at Rs 180 crore and commissions at Rs 137 crore. Advertising costs jumped significantly by over 64% to Rs 87 crore. Overall, the company’s total expenditure stood at Rs 944 crore in FY25, rising by 17% from Rs 807 crore in FY24. Despite the revenue growth, Curefoods’ loss remained flat at Rs 170 crore in FY25 from Rs 173 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -19% and -7.5%, respectively. On a unit level, the company spent Rs 1.27 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25. As of March 2025, the Ankit Nagori-led company had current assets worth Rs 339 crore in FY25, including Rs 80 crore in cash and bank balances. Curefoods’ founder Nagori is entitled to an annual fixed remuneration of Rs 3 crore (inclusive of perquisites and retirement benefits) and an annual variable bonus of up to 20% of his remuneration. Curefoods’ operational performance improved in FY25, with average daily sales rising to Rs 2 crore from Rs 1.5 crore in FY24, amid strong consumer demand across its brands. Among its 10 key brands, Sharief Bhai, EatFit, and CakeZone led revenue with Rs 148 crore, Rs 145 crore, and Rs 102 crore, respectively. The company also added new revenue streams through the launch of Krispy Kreme operations in South, West, and North India, with Rs 15 crore in revenue in FY25 after acquiring the franchise rights. The improving numbers certainly indicate a level of maturity for the business, prompting the move to go public as well. However, risks remain, particularly in the performance of the ‘Healthy Foods’ segment and now, the Krispy Kreme franchise, which has not quite delivered in India, and continues to face a tough challenge to crack the local market. Curefoods and its multi-brand approach remains to be tested, especially with profits still distant, and H1 of FY26 will probably be a good time to evaluate if the firm has discovered a path to profitability.

Wakefit posts Rs 971 Cr revenue in 9M FY25; auditor raises concern over past financials
Medial

Wakefit, a brand specializing in home and sleep solutions, has submitted its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). According to the balance, Wakefit reported a revenue of Rs 971 crore for the first nine-month period of FY25, concluding on December 31, 2024. Auditors, however, raised concerns regarding the financial statements. Wakefit’s operating revenue stood at Rs 971 crore in the nine months of FY25, nearly matching the Rs 986 crore it recorded in the entire FY24. The firm’s topline was largely driven by the sale of manufactured goods, which accounted for over 97% of its operating income, standing at Rs 951 crore. Other revenue came from the sale of traded goods and other income, which pushed its total income to Rs 994 crore in the nine months of FY25. On the expense side, cost of materials was the major contributing factor, accounting for 43% of the total expense at Rs 433 crore. Employee benefits accounted for Rs 126 crore, and the firm also spent Rs 82 crore on advertising and Rs 75 crore on delivery-related expenses during the period. Other overheads, including depreciation and IT expenses, further added to the cost base. Overall, total expenses stood at Rs 1,003 crore in the nine months of FY25, as compared to Rs 1,032 crore in FY24. Wakefit reported a loss of Rs 9 crore in the nine months of FY25, as compared to a loss of Rs 15 crore in FY24. However, the company posted a positive EBITDA of Rs 76 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 7.65% in the same period. Its ROCE stood at 1.33%. On a unit level, the company spent Rs 1.03 to earn a rupee of revenue during the 9-month period and has current assets worth Rs 577 crore, including Rs 19 crore in cash and bank balances. Looking further in the DRHP, the auditors flagged issues such as mismatches between financial records and bank filings, delayed statutory payments including GST dues under dispute, absence of an internal audit system, and cash losses over the last three fiscals. In FY24, the company’s accounting software was also found lacking the mandatory audit trail feature. While these observations didn’t require changes to its reported financials, Wakefit cautioned that similar remarks in the future could impact its reputation and financial standing. The company also revealed it uses several non-GAAP financial metrics like EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and return on capital employed to track performance. Wakefit noted these figures may not follow standard industry definitions and might not be comparable with those reported by peers. It urged investors not to rely solely on these supplemental measures and to consider audited financials under statutory accounting norms.
