Info Edge (India) Ltd on Tuesday released its fiscal fourth quarter earnings with consolidated profit at Rs 463.39 crore, posting a growth of 667.33 per cent in comparison to Rs 60.39 crore recorded during the corresponding quarter of FY24. Per the company’s balance sheet, an exceptional gain of Rs 25.51 crore led to the profit jump during the quarter, in comparison to a loss of Rs 162 crore a year ago.
It posted revenue from operations at Rs 749.63 crore, up 14.03 per cent as against Rs 657.42 crore recorded during the fourth quarter of previous financial year. The company EBITDA stood at Rs 247.90 crore, up 13 per cent on-year.
Info Edge reported a 19.0 per cent year-on-year growth in standalone billings for the quarter, reaching Rs 983.8 crore. Billings in the recruitment business grew by 18.4 per cent, while the non-recruitment verticals—99acres (real estate), Jeevansathi (matrimony), and Shiksha (education) recorded growth of 21.9 per cent, 23.9 per cent, and 15.9 per cent, respectively, the company informed the exchanges.
Hitesh Oberoi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said, “After a muted start, recruitment billings accelerated well quarter-over-quarter, growing over 18 per cent in Q4. Our non recruitment businesses also sustained their momentum, gaining market share over the past few quarters and turning cash positive for the full year.”
Chintan Thakkar, Director and Chief Financial Officer, said, “All our businesses performed well in Q4, resulting in a 15 per cent year-over-year growth in cash flow from operations. The contribution from non recruitment businesses to cash generation is a positive step toward portfolio diversification.”
As of March 31, 2025, the company’s standalone cash balance, including wholly owned subsidiaries, stood at Rs 4,786 crore.
Dividend announcement
The company board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 3.60 per equity share (on face value of Rs 2 per equity share) for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. “The Company has fixed Friday, July 25, 2025 as the Record Date for determining the entitlement of Members for the proposed Final Dividend. The dividend if approved, by the Members at the Annual General Meeting, would be paid, subject to deduction of tax at source on or after September 2, 2025,” it said in a regulatory filing.
