Muted performance due to impact of 2nd covid wave
Our view
Overall, the adverse impact of Covid19 wave on MSMEs impacted the performance in the quarter as reflected in muted growth in paid subscribers. It remains a leading player in online B2B classified and we expect the financial performance to improve from Q3FY22 led by improvement in financial condition of SMEs. We expect revenue to grow at CAGR of 19.0% over FY22E‐FY24E with average EBITDA margin of 47.7%. We maintain BUY on the stock with revised target price of Rs 9,218 /share.
Result Highlights
* Reported revenue of Rs 1,824 mn( up 0.4% QoQ, up 11.8% YoY). The less than expected revenue growth is due to less than expected increase in the number of paying customers( flat over last 4 quarters) on account of continued impact of 2nd wave on MSMEs.
