Strong revenue growth offset by margin decline
MapMyIndia reported robust revenue growth driven by better than expected performance in the automotive & mobility segment. Revenues were Rs 763.1 mn (+17.4% qoq, +34.6% yoy), +9.6% above Centrum estimates. EBITDA margins for Q2FY23 were 39.9% (Q1FY23: 46.0%) and were impacted by increased investment in the IoT business of Gtropy along with higher marketing expenses for MapMyIndia and Mappls. ExGtropy, the company’s H1FY23 EBITDA margins were 49.9%. We tweak estimates slightly to reflect higher revenue growth and lower EBITDA margins due to Gtropy and maintain our BUY rating with an unchanged target price of Rs 1,673
Revenue growth remains strong driven by automotive & mobility tech segment
Revenues were Rs763.1 mn (+17.4% qoq, +34.6% yoy), which was better than estimated, driven by a strong performance from the automotive & mobility tech segment (+17.3% qoq, +47.3% y-o-y), and the Consumer tech segment (+16.9% qoq, +23.6% yoy). At a halfyearly level, the Automotive & Mobility (A&M) Tech segment grew 55% in H1FY23, while the consumer & enterprise (C&E) segment grew at 29%. Strong yoy performance for the A&M segment was largely due to a low base in FY22 since car sales were impacted by Covid -19 lockdowns last year. The company also noted the strong revenue growth from the Gtropy acquisition.
EBITDA margins impacted by investments in Gtropy and higher marketing spends
EBITDA margins for Q2FY23 were 39.9% which were sharply lower on a qoq basis (Q1FY23:46.0%) with H1FY23 EBITDA margin of 42.8%. The company attributed this decline to several factors including increasing investments in Gtropy, increased marketing spends to promote MapMyIndia and Mappls as well as increased product development costs. Ex-Gtropy, the company’s H1FY23 EBITDA margins were 49.9%. MapMyIndia expects EBITDA margins in the range of 4045% for FY23.
Deviceled SaaS revenues from Gtropy should drive growth despite lower margins
The company expects strong growth from its deviceled SaaS IoT business acquired via Gtropy. Q2FY23 revenues for Gtropy were double that of Q1FY23 as the company increased its focus on the sector. This product business will enable the company to target the 20+ crore vehicles already on the road over & above the new vehicles served by the A&M segment. The SaaS nature of the Gtropy business is also expected to result in low initial margins at the start which should get compensated by subscription revenues in future years. For Gtropy, the company expects the investments in the business to continue for 28 quarters before it reaches steady state EBITDA
