Management summary

Veefin Solutions delivered a strong Q1 FY27 standalone performance with significant year-on-year growth across revenue, EBITDA, and PAT, driven by new client acquisitions and effective cross-selling. The company successfully converted $15.27 million from its qualified pipeline while replenishing it with $20.4 million, maintaining a robust deal pipeline. Despite a high-cost debt of ₹60 crores taken for working capital and slower-than-expected progress on the PSB Xchange, the amalgamation process is on track for completion by FY27, and DSO has notably improved.

Highlights

  • Standalone revenue of ₹23.14 crores, up 128% YoY, demonstrating strong growth.

  • Standalone EBITDA of ₹12.83 crores, up 133% YoY, with margin expanding to 55.4%.

  • Standalone PAT of ₹6.74 crores, up 151% YoY, indicating strong operating leverage.

  • Signed 5 new clients, including a significant 6-product platform win with a large digital bank in the GCC.

  • Qualified pipeline replenished by $20.4 million after converting $15.27 million, maintaining a healthy pipeline of $80.13 million.

  • DSO improved significantly to 80 days in Q1 FY27 from 149 days in FY24, reflecting better collection efficiency.

Concerns

  • Console PAT for Q1 FY27 was 40% lower QoQ compared to Q4 FY26, attributed to Q1 being the slowest quarter for services.

  • PSB Xchange platform build-out and lender integrations are slower than anticipated due to bank bandwidth issues.

  • Debt of ₹60 crores was taken at a high interest rate of 15-16%.

Capital allocation

high confidence
  • Debt Gross ₹60 Cr Cost 15.5% · Maturity: Short term (2-3 years)
    So Rs. 60 crores are between our other subsidiaries, which are your Infini, Nityo, those subsidiaries... I see that you raised the debts at almost 15%-16% rate of interest... These are short term. So one is 2 years, one is 3 years.
  • M&A Subsidiaries (Infini, Nityo, etc.) Merger · Pending regulatory

    To create a simplified listed perimeter and improve shareholder attribution.

    Simplifies the way numbers are looked at for shareholders.

    So amalgamation is around the block, that good news for all the shareholders. It simplifies the way we look at the numbers... In the seven-step process, we have completed 4 steps. We are now at the fifth step. Which were the first four? BSE approvals, the NCLT first motion, the stakeholder meetings have happened, got the board approval, got the stakeholder meeting approvals... Now, we are filing the NCLT petition, which is second motion.

Guidance & targets

  • Amalgamation Completion Other · next quarter, quarter and a half (by Q2/Q3 FY27) · High confidence Completed
    So amalgamation is around the block... So we will exit FY '27 surely without all of these overhangs on us.

    Our plan is to retire this debt over a period of time.

    — Raja Debnath

Profitability

Risks & concerns

  • Slow pace of PSB Xchange platform build-out and lender integrations

    The build-out is slower than anticipated, primarily due to bandwidth issues with banks, especially PSUs, impacting the speed of integrations.

    Both acknowledged

  • High cost of debt

    medium

    The company has taken ₹60 crores debt at a 15-16% interest rate, which is high, but justified by avoiding equity dilution and plans for early retirement.

    Analyst acknowledged

  • Potential NCLT delays for amalgamation

Q&A highlights

8 direct
Rationale for high-cost debt over equity Direct
But there are 3 reasons why we did this. The first is an equity raise has its own process. It has got a market timing and there is a permanent dilution which happens with equity raise. With debt, I have debt. When it is available, I can retire the debt. That is the reason why we picked it up. What it means is we have visibility today in terms of what our cash flows will look like based on our pipelines, based on the signings that we have, based on the revenue that we are already getting. So we are very comfortable that our cash flows, we will be able to take care of it. But we did not want to carry the debt indefinitely.

Management justified taking high-cost debt by emphasizing confidence in future cash flows for repayment and avoiding equity dilution at unfavorable market pricing.

Asked by Vikas Goel

Purpose of ₹60 crores debt given CAPEX cycle is lower Direct
Our business is chunky. So though our DSOs have come down, we continue doing two things. There is a continued investment which is happening on the product side, yes, but our revenues are chunky. So this is meant for tiding over the cash flow gaps or working capital gaps that we have. So this money is for that.

Clarified that the debt is primarily for managing working capital gaps due to the lumpy nature of revenues, rather than for large capital expenditures.

Asked by Vikas Goel

Veefin's competitive advantage against incumbents Direct
Veefin wins against incumbents when it comes to tech. So our clients, our prospective clients, they love our tech architecture. They love the fact that they are able to get all of these things on one single architecture... But where we would, I would not say lose, but where we would fall short is when we are up against incumbents who have a 30-40 year history with clients having done this multiple times, we will fall short there.

Highlighted Veefin's superior technology architecture and single platform approach as key differentiators, while acknowledging a relative weakness in long-standing pedigree compared to older competitors.

Asked by Vikas Goel

Low approval rate on PSB Xchange (₹5,800 crore approved out of ₹26,000 crore demand) Direct
Banking. So that is, as I said, we are a bridge. Our job is to see that credit requests and credit providers should be able to talk through a common language, a common platform. This was never there. We have been able to bring that into play. But we can't influence a bank in the speed at which they will operate. The banks continue operating at the speed that they were operating even without this platform.

Explained that the platform facilitates connections, but the pace of approvals is dictated by banks' internal processes, which the company cannot control.

Asked by Vikas Goel

Pledge of shares and invocation triggers Direct
There is no price link to the invocation trigger, the share that we have pledged. They are not linked to any price movement... There are only two financial tests, which are there. There are two covenants. One is on EBITDA, which has a ceiling of 3x and on DSCR with a floor of 1.25. And we are comfortable on both of them by a big margin. So there is no trigger as such.

Addressed concerns about pledged shares by clarifying that invocation is tied to financial covenants (EBITDA and DSCR), which the company is comfortably meeting, not stock price movements.

Asked by Aryan Gupta

Amalgamation stage and risk of NCLT delays Direct
NCLT, we don't see. So first point, we don't see any reason for NCLT slipping right now because we are at the final stage... But if it happens and it gets delayed by a few months, so it gets delayed. That is not in our control.

Provided an update on the amalgamation, expressing confidence in timely completion but acknowledging that external NCLT processes could cause minor, uncontrollable delays.

Asked by Aryan Gupta

Flat qualified pipeline despite new additions Direct
The fact that we have been able to replenish by 20 million is a very good number. Ideally, that number should have come down slightly because we converted a very large chunk of the pipeline in one quarter. So I think we are very good. It is a growing pipeline, a pipeline built over such a long period of time. We have been able to replenish 25% of that in one quarter itself. That is a brilliant number.

Clarified that the pipeline is healthy and actively replenished, with significant new additions offsetting conversions, indicating strong sales momentum.

Asked by Rahul Malpani

Unstarted lender integrations on PSB Xchange (22 out of 32) Direct
The 22 which have yet to start because there is a bandwidth issue that we have in terms of how many lenders we can take at one point in time. On the lender side, they have multiple projects which are going on... PSUs will take time and that is the reason why when we say that there are 7 integrations under progress right now, 50% of those are non-PSUs because we are also now working to try to get non-PSU lenders ahead of the curve of the PSU lenders.

Explained that integration delays are due to bandwidth constraints on both sides, particularly with PSUs, and highlighted a strategic shift towards prioritizing non-PSU lenders for faster progress.

Detailed narrative

Strong Standalone Financial Performance in Q1 FY27

Veefin Solutions Limited reported exceptional standalone results for Q1 FY27, with revenue soaring 128% year-on-year to ₹23.14 crores. This growth translated into a 133% increase in standalone EBITDA to ₹12.83 crores, achieving a robust margin of 55.4%. Standalone PAT also saw a significant jump of 151% to ₹6.74 crores, with a margin of 29.1%. Management highlighted that each profit line grew faster than revenue, underscoring the company's strong operating leverage.

Console Performance and Revenue Quality

On a consolidated basis, Veefin reported revenue of ₹113.97 crores, EBITDA of ₹22.4 crores (19.7% margin), and PAT of ₹9.5 crores (8.3% margin) for Q1 FY27. While console PAT was 40% lower quarter-on-quarter, this was attributed to Q1 typically being the slowest period for the services business. The company's revenue quality remains high, with 74% of standalone revenue being recurring and 77% originating from existing clients, validating its cross-sell strategy. The client mix is balanced, with a 50-50 split between domestic and international revenues.

Robust Deal Wins and Pipeline Replenishment

Veefin secured 5 new clients this quarter, notably a 6-product platform deal with a major digital bank in the GCC. The company successfully converted $15.27 million from its qualified pipeline, which was then replenished by $20.4 million, bringing the total qualified pipeline to $80.13 million. This demonstrates a healthy sales funnel, with 70% of the pipeline focused on non-Supply Chain Financing and 70% originating from outside India, indicating strategic diversification and strong future growth potential.

Debt Strategy and Amalgamation Progress

The company has taken on ₹60 crores of debt at a 15-16% interest rate, primarily to manage working capital fluctuations and avoid equity dilution at current market valuations. This debt, held by subsidiaries and guaranteed by Veefin, is short-term (2-3 years) with a clear plan for early retirement. The amalgamation process is advancing, having completed 4 out of 7 steps, with the NCLT petition for the second motion expected to be filed shortly, aiming for completion by the end of FY27 to simplify the corporate structure.

PSB Xchange Progress and DSO Improvement

The PSB Xchange platform is moving towards operational throughput, with 3 banks currently live and 7 under integration. While the pace of integration has been slower than anticipated, particularly with Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks due to their internal bandwidth constraints, Veefin is now prioritizing non-PSU lenders for faster progress. Concurrently, the company achieved a significant improvement in its Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), reducing it to 80 days in Q1 FY27 from 149 days in FY24, reflecting enhanced collection efficiency.
