What to watch in Q2 FY27

PiiX product performance and international rollout

next 12-18 months
Current Initial signs of successful customer trials in India; negligible revenue contribution.
Target Increased customer adoption, early revenue contribution, and expansion beyond India.

Why it matters

PiiX is a new strategic product for the Apple ecosystem, and its successful scaling is key to unlocking a significant market opportunity.

While PiiX for us is a very new initiative, which we have just launched in last quarter, we have seen initial signs of customers who have tried this product and seen successful results. We believe that Apple's reach in India market, which we believe is 6% is growing to get 8% to 10% in coming years. And that will just increase brands advertising spends on Apple ecosystem. For us, we will start off with India, where we have largest penetration of customers, we will try to see that what kind of initial attractions we are getting.

Risks & concerns

  • Regulatory changes

    medium

    Regulatory front is not under control of many people, so need to be really careful.

    Generally, if you talk about risk, actually, the risk is more on the regulatory front, which most of the time is not under control of many people. So, regulatory front, we need to be really careful.

    Management acknowledged

  • Economic volatility and currency risk

    medium

    Mitigated by balancing revenue between INR and USD; revenues are well balanced.

    The other risks that in general are, which we are going through on the economic front, which is sometimes on the currency risk side. And to be very frank, with these risks, we generally mitigate or create a plan about it by balancing the revenue between INR and USD.

    Management mitigated

  • AI disruption

    medium

    AI disruption is happening on the technical front, company keeps a close eye and continuously upgrades itself.

    But talking about the AI disruption, yes, AI disruption is happening on the technical front. We are also always keeping a close eye and close look on that front. And we always upgrade and upscale ourselves also parallelly.

    Management proactive

  • Inflation

    low

    Not seeing immediate impact, but tightly monitoring for future.

    While in the near term, we are not looking at any impact of inflation on ourselves, because we are very, very tightly monitoring the things and keeping an eye on future.

    Management monitoring

  • Geopolitical tensions/wars

    low

    Annual planning considers regional tensions and wars, focusing on outcome-based spend which is less likely to be cut.

    We see that from a business side, that risk is less. Just to share with all, now when we plan our annual planning, we do at least the model in that manner that we look at some of the regions if there is any tension in that region, if there is a war in that region.

    Management mitigated

Q&A highlights

8 direct
Decline in direct client contribution to revenue Direct
Well, this is because of the reason that we have entered international global footprint with our initial strategy of going to the clients through agency or a reseller model. This is just to begin a small or a medium-term strategy so that we make a good footprint at international level to clients through agency or a reseller model.

Addresses a perceived negative trend in client mix, explaining it as a strategic move for international expansion rather than a loss of direct clients.

Asked by Rahul

Moat against larger global platforms replicating Neural Engine Direct
So, two things, we own the whole stack so we are not adding intelligence on top of someone else's platform, and our commercial model ensures that the AI works because we get paid on outcomes. So, it is very different than someone else is copying that because lots of companies wouldn't have all three stacks in-house created.

Clarifies the company's competitive advantage in its proprietary, full-stack AI technology and outcome-based business model, which is difficult for competitors to replicate.

Asked by Rahul

Sustainability of Q1 revenue growth rate (56.9%) Direct
So, I think we have created a framework for us in terms of what we look as a business. We do not optimize it for a quarter or 100 days. We optimize for the whole year. And what we look at 2030 as a vision for us. So, we call it as Rule of 50. In terms of normalization, we look at that we should grow by 30% year on year.

Provides long-term growth guidance (30% YoY) and context for the quarterly performance, indicating that while Q1 was strong, the company manages for sustained long-term growth rather than short-term spikes.

Asked by Anil Kukreja

Drivers for improving revenue per outcome (Rs. 49.94) Direct
The second important parameter is because we are going in the global markets. Now, the global markets are like they are not a volume driven market, they are a value driven market. So, that is how we will be improving both the revenue, the outcomes, and the price per outcome.

Explains how the company plans to enhance its revenue per outcome by leveraging its technology in India's volume market and expanding into value-driven global markets.

Asked by Anil Kukreja

Key competitors in the global space Direct
In the global space, we consider AppLovin as the one of the largest competitions, we will consider Unity as another competition and Trade Desk. These are large listed companies in US. And there would be some medium competition also, but yes, it's a large market. And we are focusing that we are stepping our stone in US.

Identifies major global competitors, providing insight into the competitive landscape as the company expands internationally.

Asked by Anil Kukreja

Customer traction and revenue contribution from PiiX (Apple ads ecosystem) Direct
While PiiX for us is a very new initiative, which we have just launched in last quarter, we have seen initial signs of customers who have tried this product and seen successful results. We believe that Apple's reach in India market, which we believe is 6% is growing to get 8% to 10% in coming years. And that will just increase brands advertising spends on Apple ecosystem.

Provides early indicators of success for a new strategic product, outlining its potential market and future growth trajectory.

Asked by Tushar Tikande

Priority of capital allocation from the preferential issue (approx. 50 crores) Direct
We raised capital specifically to pursue some of the strategic acquisitions and we continue to evaluate those opportunities actively. However, we are being very disciplined over the years and in the current financial year on both strategic front as well as economic viability. We are not looking just to acquire simply and to deploy capital.

Clarifies the strategic use of recently raised capital, emphasizing a disciplined approach to M&A focused on strengthening technology, partnerships, and geographical presence.

Asked by Rohit Singh

Biggest risks to the business (competition, client concentration, regulatory, AI disruption) Direct
But talking about the AI disruption, yes, AI disruption is happening on the technical front. We are also always keeping a close eye and close look on that front. And we always upgrade and upscale ourselves also parallelly. And in fact, I would say beforehand, those changes are happening so disruptively.

Addresses key investor concerns about potential threats, outlining management's awareness and proactive strategies to mitigate risks like AI disruption and regulatory changes.

Strong Q1 FY27 Financial Performance

Mobavenue AI Tech Limited delivered robust financial results for Q1 FY27, with revenue from operations growing 56.9% year-on-year and 16.3% sequentially to Rs. 728 million. EBITDA saw a 77% year-on-year increase, reaching Rs. 154 million, and maintaining a healthy margin of 21.2%. Profit after tax (PAT) also surged by 95% year-on-year to INR 117 million, with a PAT margin of 16.1%, reflecting disciplined execution and profitable growth.

Strategic Evolution and AI-Native Platform

The company emphasized its evolution from an AI-powered platform to an AI-native ecosystem, marked by a new brand identity unveiled at Times Square. At the core of this transformation is the newly launched Mobavenue Neural Engine, a unified AI intelligence layer that powers the company's A3 framework (Awareness, Acquisition, Activation). This engine processes over 1.3 billion signals daily, making decisions in under 15 milliseconds, and aims to convert advertising spends into measurable outcomes, improving unit economics.

Global Expansion and New Product Launches

Mobavenue AI Tech Limited continued its global expansion, commencing operations in the United States, a key scalable market, and launching PrsmX operations in the Philippines, with Singapore serving as a regional gateway. A significant product launch was PiiX, an AI-powered growth intelligence platform specifically designed for the Apple ads ecosystem, complementing its existing SurgeX for Android. These initiatives are expected to be key growth drivers over the next 12 to 18 months.

Growth Drivers and Market Strategy

Growth was broad-based, fueled by direct advertiser demand across sectors like Quick Commerce, BFSI, FinTech, and Retail, and by premium omnichannel formats such as connected TV and video streaming. While direct client contribution temporarily decreased to 65.2% due to initial international market entry via agency/reseller models, the long-term strategy remains a direct advertiser approach. The company aims to grow by 30% year-on-year with EBITDA margins of 20% or higher, aligning with its 'Rule of 50' philosophy and 2030 vision.

Capital Allocation and Risk Management

The company's balance sheet remains strong, supported by a preferential raise in FY26. Capital is prioritized for strengthening the AI stack, international expansion, and platform capabilities, with a disciplined approach to strategic acquisitions. Management acknowledged key risks including regulatory changes, economic volatility, currency fluctuations (mitigated by balancing INR and USD revenues), and AI disruption, emphasizing continuous monitoring and upgrading of its technology and strategies.
