Eternal Q4 expectations


Eternal, formerly known as Zomato, is likely to report solid revenue growth in the fourth quarter, but the profitability is likely to take a severe hit. Analysts expect March quarter revenue growth to come in at 62% YoY, with a solid contribution from Hyperpure and Blinkit revenues.

There are varied estimates for profit. For instance, brokerage Kotak is estimating a PAT fall of nearly 83% to Rs 29.7 crore from Rs 175 crore posted in the year-ago quarter. Nuvama, meanwhile, is expecting a loss of Rs 36 crore.

Kotak sees the food delivery business revenues growing 19% YoY, while that of Hyperpure and Blinkit are likely to jump 84% YoY and 104% YoY, respectively.

"We model 10 bps QoQ expansion in consolidated margins of food delivery business to 8.6% in 4Q; coupled with GMV increase, this will result in 4.3% EBITDA margin as % of GMV for this segment," the brokerage said.

Motilal Oswal sees the overall revenue growing at 64% YoY in 4QFY25. "For food delivery, adjusted EBITDA as a % of GOV margin is expected to inch up 40bp QoQ to 4.7%," it said. The food delivery revenue will be driven by volume growth.
