Info Edge reports 7.7X surge in Q4 profit on the back of one-offs; revenue grows 14%
Info Edge reported a rise in billings from the non-recruitment verticals, which include 99acres, Jeevansathi, and Shiksha.
Info Edge, the parent company of Naukri.com and others, has reported a 7.7X growth in net profit to Rs 463 crore for the quarter ended March 2025, compared with Rs 60 crore earned in the year-ago period.
Additionally, Info Edge's revenue from operations during the quarter rose to Rs 750 crore, on a consolidated basis, compared with Rs 657.4 crore in Q4 FY24. It was also able to keep a check on its expenses, which grew by 14.7%—almost as much as the increase in revenue—to Rs 538.6 crore in Q4 FY25.
The rise in profits can be primarily attributed to the jump in other income, which grew from Rs 151 crore to Rs 521 crore in the latest quarter.
The Sanjeev Bikhchandani-led firm also reported a 19% year-on-year growth in standalone billings for the quarter at Rs 983.8 crore. Billings in the recruitment business grew by 18.4% during the quarter while non-recruitment verticals, which include real estate firm 99acres, matrimony website Jeevansathi, and education platform Shiksha, recorded 21.9%, 23.9%, and 15.9% YoY growth, respectively.
“After a muted start, recruitment billings accelerated well quarter-over-quarter, growing over 18% 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,” said Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Hitesh Oberoi.
For the full year, Info Edge reported Rs 2,849.5 crore in revenue from operations, compared with Rs 2,536.3 crore earned in FY24—a 12.3% increase. During this period, profit attributable to equity holders rose to Rs 962.1 crore from Rs 575.2 crore in the year-ago period, a whopping 67% jump.
The results come days after its shareholders approved an investment of up to Rs 1,000 crore into IE Venture Investment Fund III to drive investments into tech-driven Indian startups.
Info Edge has backed several startups, including foodtech major Zomato, and cashed in over Rs 3,000 crore during the company’s IPO in 2021.
Additionally, it has also invested in Policybazaar, Adda247, NoBroker, and ShopKirana, among others, deploying over Rs 2,000 crore across various startups.
The shares of the company closed 0.85% down on the NSE at Rs 1,461 apiece.
