What went well
- Achieved highest ever quarterly revenue of ₹891 crores, EBITDA of ₹252 crores, and PAT of ₹202 crores.
- Consolidated revenue grew 25% year-on-year to ₹891 crores, driven by broad-based growth across both Visa & Consular Services and Digital Business.
- EBITDA grew 24% year-on-year to ₹252 crores, with a stable EBITDA margin of 28.3%, reflecting operating leverage and cost discipline.
What to watch
- Visa application volumes were broadly stable year-on-year at 11.3 lakh applications, despite new contracts, with management citing the impact of the 'war'.
- Analyst noted a sequential decline in the gross profit margin of the visa business, which management did not immediately confirm but offered to check.
