Eternal delivered broadly inline operating performance in Q4. Revenue grew 7.9% QoQ, better than our estimate, led by Quick Commerce (QC) and Hyperpure. Food Delivery GOV saw a decline of 1.4% QoQ, due to persistent sluggishness in the demand environment, temporary shortage of delivery partners owing to high demand in QC, and increased competition from packaged food delivery in QC.
VBL reported a strong and largely in-line quarter. India revenue growth was better at ~18% (vs expectation of ~15%), helped by ~16%/2% growth in volume/realization.
GO’s Q4 EBITDA was 7-10% better than estimates, largely led by higher growth in the LFS channel and better gross-margin on higher credit note. Revenue grew ~13%, led by 24% growth in LFS while EBO grew 11% (SSG: 2.1%). EBO SSG was driven by gain in realizations (flat volume).
Fino posted a slight 2.5% beat on PAT at Rs240mn, owing to strong momentum in CASA and the DPS segment, and partly offset by continued cannibalization of the remittance business.
AGEL’s consolidated Q4FY25 EBITDA rose 31% YoY to Rs24bn (up 28% QoQ), led by 30% YoY uptick in operational capacity and improvement in CUF (Khavda achieved 32% in Q4), leading to 44% growth in sale of power.
We downgrade IIB to REDUCE from Add, cutting our TP by 9.4% to Rs725 (from Rs800). This is in view of the spate of top management resignations, including the MD & CEO, which should increase business/margin disruption including risk of another round of deposit run-down, impact on asset quality, middlemanagement attrition, and possibility of appointment of an RBI nominee on the Board as well as a PSU banker as MD & CEO (similar to Bandhan/RBL).
TVSL reported a strong Q4 with ~4.6% QoQ ASP growth and reported EBITDA margin of 14%, aided by recognition of PLI benefit for the full year; margins excl 9M PLI stood at 12.5% vs 11.9% in Q3 (2.3% ASP growth at ~Rs76,800 without considering 9M PLI).
MOFS continued its steady performance in Q4FY25 amid volatile markets and despite impact of the new F&O regulations, with operating PAT at Rs5.2bn (+4% YoY; -1% QoQ). However, treasury loss of Rs7.43bn resulted in reported consolidated loss (including OCI) of Rs2.2bn.
Go Digit’s Q4FY25 results were a mixed bag. Amid the volatile and difficult external environment in FY25, marked by EoM glidepath, no Motor TP tariff hike, sustained competition in Motor OD, and implementation of 1/n regulations for gross premium accounting, the company found it difficult to replicate its past success of accelerating growth with improving profitability.
