So, like, Paytm, you know, that company that does all the money stuff, yeah, they reported their financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025. And guess what? They actually made some money this time. Can you believe it? I know, right?
According to the reports, Paytm raked in a whopping ₹1,911 crore in operating revenue for the quarter ending March 2025. That’s like, a 5% increase from the previous quarter. And get this, they even managed to turn a profit of ₹1,071 crore with a contribution margin of 56%. I mean, who would’ve thought, right?
But wait, it gets even better. Their EBITDA before ESOP costs stood at ₹81 crore, which is like, a massive improvement of ₹121 crore from the last quarter. Talk about turning things around. And oh, by the way, they also managed to narrow their losses to just ₹23 crore, which is like, a huge improvement from the ₹208 crore loss in the third quarter. Not too shabby, Paytm, not too shabby.
So, you’re probably wondering, how did they do it, right? Well, apparently, they had this one-time thing where the CEO forfeited a bunch of ESOPs, which helped them save some cash. And their financial services segment saw some pretty solid growth too, with revenue going up by 9% to ₹545 crore. Plus, they added like, 8 lakh new payment devices for merchants. That’s a lot of devices, if you ask me.
And get this, their cash position is looking pretty strong too, with a balance of ₹12,809 crore as of March 31, 2025. That’s a lot of zeros, if you ask me. Oh, and their GMV (gross merchandise value) grew to ₹5.1 lakh crore. I don’t even know how to count that high. And their monthly transacting users increased to 7.2 crore. That’s like, a whole lot of people using their services.
But hey, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. Their shares closed today at ₹816.50, down by ₹49.50 or 5.72% on the NSE. I mean, it’s not the end of the world, right? Stocks go up, stocks go down. That’s just how it is.
So, all in all, Paytm seems to be doing pretty well for themselves. They’re making money, turning profits, and growing their user base. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, good for them, right? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like they’re on the right track. Who knows what the future holds for them, but for now, things are looking up.
