Paytm shares slide 7.7% after Q2 results as revenue declines and one-time gain helps profit

One97 Communication, the parent firm of Paytm, fell as much as 7.7% to an intra-day low of Rs 669.80. The company reported a net profit of Rs 930 crore in the second quarter of FY25 against a loss of Rs 290 crore posted in the same quarter a year ago.

However, the company’s revenue from operations declined by 34% on year to Rs 1,659 crore in Q2 FY25 compared to Rs 1,095 crore in Q2 FY24. The gain in net profit can be attributed to the sale of the ticketing business to Zomato. 

If the sale of the ticketing business is kept aside then it is still a loss-making company of Rs 495 crore for the reporting quarter. The loss has widened by 70% compared to the previous fiscal year. 

Paytm’s Q1 performance

The company recorded a consolidated net loss of Rs 839 crore in Q1 FY25 widened from Rs 357 crore in Q1 FY24. Its revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,502 crore in the previous quarter of FY25 declining from Rs 2,342 crore in Q1 FY24.
